"Deep in the City" Canary Wharf, London, UK
2 exposure panorama.
It is hard to imagine how ginormous these rocks are unless you can put things into perspective. The photographer on the right is my brother who is a healthy six-footer. Compare him to some people you see walking in the distance by the pines who are dwarfed by 100+ ft tall trees. Now compare these trees to the ones in the distance on the rocks. Now you get the picture.
Half Dome on the right rises nearly 5,000 ft from the valley with a peak at 8,836 ft (2,693 m) above sea level. On the left front are the Royal Arches ending with Washington Column on the right and North Dome in the back. Between the two rock formations run Tenaya Creek and Mirror Lake.
Halloween and Fall Colors - This where many wedding photography takes place. Too bad it's mostly in the summer because they are missing all this :)
From the kid representing the spring, the lovers representing the summer, the mother representing the fall and finally the old man; the winter himself.. haha.. pick your style...

Located in the constellation of Andromeda(hence the name :) )this large spiral galaxy is 2.5 million light years away. It can be seen with the naked eye on moonless nights from even moderately light polluted skies. It has been recently estimated to contain nearly 1 trillion stars
La Roche de Vergisson n'est pas aussi célèbre que sa voisine la Roche de Solutré, mais c'est tout aussi beau.
Elle est facile à gravir, on y découvre de son sommet un vaste paysage et une vue imprenable sur la Roche de Solutré. Le charmant petit village de Vergisson se niche en contrebas.

"Sunrise" Canary Wharf, London, UK
Ce soir là , par une belle soirée d'été, j'ai diné en famille sur une terrasse en bord de Saône, dans un charmant petit restaurant au nord de Mâcon qui fait de l'excellente cuisine créole.
L'endroit est très tranquille, et il faisait un temps de rêve. Nous nous sommes régalés, et avons bu une bonne bouteille de Viré Clessé (vin blanc du Mâconnais).
Nous sommes sortis de table alors que la nuit tombait et avons fait quelques pas au bord de la rivière.
Il n'y avait pas un nuage dans le ciel, la lune brillait et se reflétait dans la Saône, et les étoiles sont apparues progressivement.
Ce spectacle magique offert par notre chère nature nous a fait ressentir toute la paix du lieu, et nous a rempli de joie et de gratitude, cela terminait bien la soirée.

A beautiful moonlight
On a beautiful summer evening, I dined with family on a terrace along the Saone river, in a small restaurant in the north of Macon that makes an excellent Creole cooking.
The place is very quiet, and we had a fantastic weather. We feasted and drank a nice bottle of Viré Clessé ( white wine from Macon region).
We left the table as the night fell and made a little walk along the river.
There were no clouds in the sky, the moon shone and was reflected in the Saone river, and the stars appeared gradually. This magical spectacle offered by our beloved nature made us feel all the peace of the place, and filled us with joy and gratitude, it ended well the evening.

I was exploring the wild dunes during one of my sunrise sessions in Rosolina Mare (see my What a meaningful world... for information about that peculiar location). This was sort of a discovery for me - a whole new world I had previously seen only through the work of several of my Flickr friends, mainly from Northern Europe.
The dunes were graced by a gentle touch of Mediterranean scrub - a tamarisk on the left, some sea hollies (Eryngium maritimum), and a lot of sparse creeping vines sporting graceful rosy flowers that I think are, quite aptly, called Beach morning glory (Convolvulus soldanella or Ipomoea pes-caprae), here caught as they were beginning to open. It is well known that the seeds of this plant, unaffected by salt water, can float for long distances.
It was an exciting discovery: the place could have been two light-years far from the nearest touristic beach! And as I was enjoying (and capturing as well) the silent miracle of the sunrise my soul was singing. The sun was wrestling his way between the clouds and the world was bathed in a soft, golden light. And as the rosy lips of the flowers were gently opening I was wondering where the seeds of those plants came from. As I was keeping shooting I could almost hear their thin voices greeting the first lights of the day by whispering stories from distant countries.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I have had some unexpected luminance noise here, so I tried hard to clean up; Dfine made a discrete job, but left here and there artifacts I was not able to avoid. In the end I found that the better job was done by Noiseware Community Edition.
The Red-eye tree frog from Costa Rica, taken near Arenal National Park, Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica. While hiking in the park, late one evening, came upon this red-eyed tree frog.
From the same day as www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/26730944450, a great day for cloudscapes, with sun and rain, and amazing clouds everywhere. I still have so many shots of my Gothenburg period, and this shows the start of spring in this nice city.

The fields of yellow Everlasting flowers (Helichrysum stoechas)

A feast for the senses!

"Blue Interval" Docklands, London, UK
View of Canary Wharf at twilight, Docklands, London, UK
Nothing like a good flip and lots of blending to get this side-by-side selfies of sorts.
After shooting this amazing doorway cloaked in ivy and ferns, I left the camera on the tripod and thought I would get in the picture (I have so many), then I took the same pic of Marybeth. In PS, I tiles the image by flipping MB's side, The center fern looked obviously tiled so I worked on it with the history brush (you can see the resemblance to the one on the left). I also made a bunch of changes to the stone work so it didn't look exactly symmetrical (again, all with a history brush), I even reversed the logo on MB's hat so it appears "normal".
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!!
