~ A playful mallard greets me at the pond with a few water tossing dunks and flap. ~
I studied ducks for over two years on a daily basis and can tell you many things about how they survive day to day and all about body language. Very unique personalities for each of them and one common love for fresh seeds as posing payment.
I hope everybody is having an outstanding weekend in their own special way and that the happiness of this Mallard may bring a bit of joy to anyone looking for some.
Have a great night / day.. (depending on the World's rotation)

For those who wonder.. yes, yes I'm running out of my holiday photo's of Laos. My holiday seems already a long time ago. Luang Prabang, does it still exist, or was it just a hazy dream I conjured in my imagination? Luang Prabang, the royal capital of the former kingdom of Laos, is a lovely quiet town. located between the two lazy rivers, the Mekong and Nam Khan river. Life flows slowly here, just like the muddy Mekong. The people are gentle and unassuming.
Photo taken at the morning market of Luang Prabang. I fastly caught a glimpse of this old Asian man. Don't know if he noticed me, but one shot was all I got before he turned around and start eating his meal. All camera sounds OFF, 432mm zoom, spot metering, F3.3, 1/100s and ISO200.
Our last day in Luang Prabang we were strolling down the Morning Market. A good place to go for food and entertainment. There are hundreds of temporary and semi-permanent shops, stalls, and blankets spread on the ground, where everyone buy and sell almost anything. Here the hill tribesman or woman comes face to face with the modern western traveler in a milieu strange to both of them. But nonetheless the strangeness seems to handle with a broad smile. Inside the market I caught a glimpse of this old man. Later I realize, looking at his dirty clothes, he must have been homeless.
He was just receiving a free meal from a local market restaurant. It was the first homeless we saw in Laos. I guess there are more homeless in Amsterdam than in Laos. Although Laos is a poor country, being homeless is ofcourse another story. But let's not forget a generation of War and the Politburo of the Communist Party who came to power. In 2005, the United States established Normal Trade Relations with Laos. Looking at his intriguing face I'm sure this man have quite a story to tell.
It's interesting seeing the fisherman come in early morn and with all the clothing - long gum boots, hat ++ and just wade into the water.
I have been to this spot a few times and this was the only time I got this........one from archives - long forgotten. Shot with my 18-200VR lens...not great at the long range...a bit soft which I do not like !!!! but loved the fisherman, and the mist rising up in the backend

A random act of kindness is a purportedly selfless act performed by a person or persons wishing to either assist or cheer up an individual or in some cases even an animal. There will generally be no reason other than to make people smile, or be happier. Either spontaneous or planned in advance, random acts of kindness are encouraged by various communities. An oft-cited example of a random act of kindness is, when paying the toll at a toll booth on a highway, to pay the toll for the vehicle behind you as well.
The phrase "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty" may have been coined by peace activist Anne Herbert. Herbert says she wrote it on a placemat at a Sausalito restaurant in 1982 or 1983.
A book, Random Acts of Kindness, was released by Conari Press in 1993.
Established in 1995 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation promotes spreading kindness.
The movie Pay It Forward (2000) is largely based on Random Acts of Kindness.
The French film Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001) (Amélie) follows a young woman who engages in various random – and often anonymous – acts of kindness.

What:
The sun setting over cracked ice on the frozen bay.
Where:
Glen Haven (near Peggy's Cove)
Nova Scotia, Canada
(I added it to the map in case you want to find it)
About:
I was driving down to Peggy's Cove (duh...) to see if I could catch a decent sunset. I saw the frozen bay in Glen Haven and the sun was getting pretty low so I figured it would be too late by the time I got to Peggy's to catch it so I stopped and snapped a few shots and managed to even get some nice clouds. Good thing I stopped because by the time I finally made it to Peggy's Cove they along with the sun were gone!
Edit: This was added later:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I forgot to mention that I didn't even see that slight rainbow and the rays when I was there. I only noticed when I processed the -2ev exposure. The UV filter on my 10-20mm is just amazing at pulling detail from the sky. It's just a Hoya, nothing special but I'm always amazed when I look through the view-finder!
I could have brought those elements out a little more during PP but the sky was already so amazing that I didn't want to mess with it.
Tech crap:(copied from my reply to Justin's question)
I should have posted the PP work in my comment but it was really late! This one was done in Photomatix, I always try that first as it is quick and dirty. Often it is too "dirty" though and I can't get it they way I want it to look. I liked this one though after I brought the luminosity way down. It actually looked the way I remembered it. Didn't need much PS work afterwards either.
BTW, most of my shots lately are DRIs (Dynamic Range Increase) or more commonly known as blended exposures. I could have gotten the same results here blending the -2ev sky with the 0ev foreground and using some of the +2ev highlights. It would have taken much longer though. Like I said I liked the Photomatix result in this case so I worked with that. Wheww...
Do NOT go here unless you want to freeze!

Catedral de la Virgen de Kazan- St. Petersburgo - Rusia
Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan - St.Petersburgo -Russia
La catedral de la Virgen de Kazan es la cima de la arquitectura del alto clasicismo y, a la vez, un brillante ejemplo de síntesis de las artes. El majestuoso edificio con columnata ampliamente desplegada que domina la avenida Nevski fue construida en 1801-1811 por proyecto de A. Voronijin. La historia de este edificio como templo tiene sus páginas negras: desde 1932 en él se alojó el Museo de la historia de la religión y el ateísmo. Empero, esto permitió conservar el decorado interno de la catedral. Actualmente el edificio fue devuelto a la iglesia. En 1813 en la catedral fue sepultado el comandante y jefe de las tropas rusas en la Guerra Patria de 1812, mariscal de campo M. Kutúzov. En 1837 ante la catedral fue instalada su estatua.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan is the pinnacle of classical architecture and high, while a brilliant example of synthesis of the arts. The majestic building with a colonnade overlooking the widely deployed Nevski Avenue was built in 1801-1811 for project A. Voronijin. The history of this building as a temple has its black pages from 1932 it housed the museum of the history of religion and atheism. However, this allowed to keep the decorations inside the cathedral. Currently, the building was returned to the church. In 1813 he was buried in the cathedral and the chief commander of Russian troops in the Patriotic War of 1812, Field Marshal M. Kutuzov. In 1837 the cathedral was erected his statue.
We went to St Kilda for dinner last night and the sunset was spectacular. I managed to fire off a couple of shots with the Spirit of Tasmania in the foreground. Den and I took the van on this ship a few years ago and went to Tasmania for a week. It's a huge ship. This shot is straight out of camera except for correcting the horizon in Lightroom.
Here's some information from www.spiritoftasmania.com.au/:
Spirit of Tasmania I and II were built in 1998 by Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Finland. They have a displacement weight of almost 30,000 tonnes and a length of 194.3 metres.
Spirit of Tasmania I and II cross Bass Strait at a cruising speed of 27 knots which is the equivalent of 50 kilometres per hour. The 429 kilometre voyage across Bass Strait is roughly twice the distance by road between Devonport and Strahan, on Tasmania’s west coast.
Stretched end-to-end, the vehicle lanes on each ship would be almost two kilometres long!

Our boat did ferry us cross the Nam Khan river to Ban Souandara. This village is populated by Khamu, Hmong and Lao Loom people. Here you can take an elephant ride through teak forests and farmland to Tad Sae Waterfall. After sitting on an elephant through forest and jungle for an hour and half, you will arrive to this Waterfall. The crystal water there will be a great invitation to swim a bit. The waterfall stream flows into the Nam Khan river. The waterfall is divided into 3 limestone steps. There are numerous cascades and pools with turquoise water. This is an ideal place for bathing but also for the Laos elephants.

Hier kan je per olifant een rit maken naar de Tad Sae waterval. Na een tocht van anderhalf uur door de jungle en teakbos kom je aan bij deze prachtige waterval. Deze waterval heeft verschillende plateaus en helder groen water. Werkelijk de mooiste waterval die we tot nu toe gezien hebben. De olifanten krijgen een lekker verfrissend bad.

Capaccio loc. Capo di Fiume (SA) - Italy
Alle falde del Monte Calpazio, le cui cime sono chiamate Monte Soprano a Nord e Monte Sottano a Sud, troviamo questa splendida località chiamata Capo di Fiume, dalle ricche sorgenti d' acqua che risultano essere una diramazione del fiume Calore che sottopassa la montagna e da cui deriva il nome della città di Capaccio, dal latino Caput Acquae.
Capo di Fiume è un luogo assolutamente incantevole, tra le varie bellezze naturali c'è un ristorante ricavato da un vecchio mulino circondato da molti ruscelli nei quali si suddivide il corso d' acqua.
Vi è un laghetto dal quale emerge solo una colonna di un antico tempio Greco, qui ripresa nello scatto, è inoltre un habitat ideale per vari tipi di uccelli acquatici e presenta un fenomeno interessante nel punto da cui sorge l' acqua, numerose bolle d' aria emergono dal fondo alla superfice rendendo il posto ancora più affascinante e particolare.
Capaccio loc. Capo di Fiume (SA) - Italy
At the foot of Mount Calpazio, whose peaks are called Monte Soprano north and south Monte Sottano, we find this wonderful place called the head of river, from rich sources of water that are a branch of the river Calore that passes under the mountain and from which derives its name from the city of Capaccio, from the Latin Caput Acquae.
Capo di Fiume is an absolutely beautiful place, between the natural beauty there is a restaurant converted from an old mill surrounded by many streams in which the course is made up of water.
There is a lake which shows only one column of an ancient Greek temple, here shooting step, it is also an ideal habitat for various aquatic birds and presents an interesting phenomenon at the point from which rises the water, many air bubbles rising from the bottom to the surface, making the place even more fascinating and unusual.

When Andrew, our guide at Rattray’s said, “we’re going to see some Buffalos”, we couldn’t have guessed what impressive spectacle was waiting for us. We drove up to the area and he parked the car .. We saw some buffalos, but they were a bit far off. I looked at Andrew a bit confused but he just leaned back and smiled.
Soon it became clear why…. More Buffalos came up on the field… and more… and more. Pretty soon the car was surrounded by a herd of hundreds of them (see picture below). I could have easily touched them. We’ve spent a good part of an hour with them, before they moved on.. slowly.
Know that, although it looks like your average herd of cows, buffalos are considered one of the most dangerous animals of Africa. They have no fear. You can feel that when you look in their eyes. We've been chased by a (wounded) Buffalo Bull once a couple of years ago, no pre-warning; he just attacked out of the blue. Just escaped from him hitting the rental car we drove - and I have a very healthy respect for them!
One of the nicest things about a herd of Buffalos is that they are always in the company of ‘Red Billed Oxpeckers’. These busy little birds feed on the ticks on the hide of the grazing Buffalos and they fill the air with their constant chatter.
Guess on this shot it's not really hard to see how they got their name.. :-)

What:
The Dingle Tower
Where:
Sir Sanford Fleming Park on the Northwest Arm
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
When:
Last Sunday morning at sunrise.
About:
Sir Sandford Fleming established a summer retreat on the property fronting the Northwest Arm, part of Halifax Harbour, during the 1880s after finishing construction of the Intercolonial Railway. He called it the "Dingle".
In 1908, Fleming donated the property to the citizens of Halifax for use as a park and proposed the construction of a tower within the "Dingle" to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of representative government in Nova Scotia; the province having been the first colony in the British Empire outside the United Kingdom to have such a form of government. - Wikipedia
