Previous night :
When I was talking to my sweetheart about finding the moss trolls in Hvalfjörður as a part of our next day programs, from the apartment living room that we rented, I watched the midnight sky, trying to read what weather might be when the sun showed its face in the morning. Above there was no star but some clouds were slowly rolling by.
I checked again the forecast, it showed that the weather should be fine until midday.
In the morning when we were ready to go, Little Dino rechecked the weather. She told me that THE FOG were over the pinned destination and it would be following by…..rain.
Little Dino seemed really disappointed but the next plans we had wouldn’t make her disappointment stayed longer.
Finally we drove around Reykjanes Peninsula.
The picture:
We were at Gunnuhver, a highly active geothermal area of mud pools and steam. The beach has the rock trolls and the wave is very powerful and dangerous. Oh yes, as always: windy too!
Down there, Little dino was walking to reach the rocky beach while I was busy synchronizing my whole organs body to collect the air, or…...to breathe. :)

Have a beautiful evening …xxX Love

Glass And Steel - La Défense, Paris, France
Yesterday was lovely ! Tony (Guy@Fawkes) and I had a few hours around the site of the battle of Edgehill. I hope the following info is interesting for you.
The battle of Edgehill, on Sunday 23rd October 1642, saw the army of the Earl of Essex, the parliamentarian Lord General, and King Charles' (Charles 1) army clash in the first major action of the Civil War in England. It was fought in the open fields between the villages of Radway and Kineton in Warwickshire. It was intended to be the one great battle to decide the war.
It turned out to be a bloody draw, but the king gained an important advantage. The Earl of Essex failed to break through and had to retreat northward, to the security of the parliamentarian garrisons at Warwick and Coventry. This left the royalists in command of the road to London, and control of the capital of England was the key to the war.
The battlefield is largely agricultural land and appears at first sight to be well preserved. In reality it has been extensively disturbed and several key public Rights of Way closed by the construction, in the late 1940s, of a military depot. We came across a sign saying 'You are being watched - Ministry of Defence - Private'. But we were lucky it wasn't 375 years ago in the midst of a horrible bloodbath !
My geotag is 'approximate' - sorry ! Edited using Topaz Studio - one of the 'landscape' settings which I toned down a bit ! I have two laptops, and each shows the colours differently, so I've no idea how you'll see it !

Dear friends, I wish I had more time for the wonderful world of your photos and sharing my own visual discoveries of the amazing world around us. This was one of the gorgeous sunsets when I was overloaded with work again, and could look at the magic of the evening sky only through my window. But it was so wonderful that I had to grab my camera and try to capture at least a tiny framed area of the magnificent sky seen from my balcony.
I have to sincerely thank all of you who warmly encouraged me to not disappear completely from Flickr and left small friendly reminders here and there. I hope that my current tight multi-project schedule won't last forever, and that I will be able to switch to things and creative projects of my own that allows more time for things that I truly enjoy and love.
The light, beauty, and inspiration from this wonderful scenery I wanted to share with you all.

A panoramic fun slide for Sliders Sunday. Three boats? One boat. When I shot this sequence I did not even think about doing a panorama, but when I viewed the images at home I thought I'd give it a try, and PS's Photomerge did a good job for boat "one" (right) and "three" (left). I added the center shot manually, masking out everything but the boat. I then edited the capture in Analog Efex (classical camera, preset 5, type of film: warm, no dirt & scratches, just a little vignetting) to give it an old postcard look, and added the image border in ON1 Photo (type: simple, white square keyline). And I guess I added an HDR filter in ON1, too ;-).
Location: Jagdschloss Glienicke, a hunting lodge in the Berlin borough of Wannsee, as seen from the Park Babelsberg (Potsdam / Brandenburg). The lake you see is the Glienicker Lake, the border between the federal city state of Berlin, and the federal state of Brandenburg runs right through the lake.
HSS everyone ;-), and have a nice Sunday, dear Flickr friends!
Thank you very much for your comments and faves! Lieben Dank für Eure Kommentare und Favs ;-)
A tiny glimpse of the 10,000 rhododenron plants in 500 different varieties blooming in the garden of Sofiero castle, voted Europe’s Best Park in 2010.

Field of dreams. The yellow season in Finland. Summer.
A very relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
Field of Yellow Rapeseed in Finland.
Rapeseed is used for animal feed, plus it is cultivated for its seed (rapeseed oil) that is then used as a vegetable oil in cooking.

From the high point of the escarpment , looking backwards to where I just came from,
The great circuit walk at the Quiraing on the Isle of Skye.
The walk is magical, because each part of it is unique.
(4 shots stitch using ICE)
Weather was ever changing. Sometimes sun would come out giving opportunity for a better photos.
The Quiraing is the largest landslide in Britain, but it is not a torrential rain-induced landslides. It’s part of something much larger in size.
The weight of all volcanic rock, formed 50million years ago, slowly took its toll on the weaker Jurassic sedimentary rock below, which fractured and broke under the strain, and volcanic rock have been slipped down the hillside; this process is still going.

My son-in-law James and I hit the trail for an early morning hike to Boynton Canyon. The trail was quite rugged. It snaked through a number of rocky gulches and ravines that were littered with boulders and rocks..
The going was tough at times, and I had to keep my eyes on the ground to keep from tripping over the smaller rocks that were littered about like children's toys in a messy nursery. The rewards were great though, as the colors and rock formations were other-worldly.
The downside is, my hip has been killing me ever since--as they say, no pain no gain. When I look at this photo, I see faces in the rocks.

Amanece sobre Islas Hormigas - Sunrise over Ants Islands
Desde el Cabo de Palos, se puede contemplar un pequeño archipiélago a su frente, las Islas Hormigas.
Aparentemente pacíficas, son en realidad la extensión del Cabo , el fatídico escollo que en el verano de 1906, hizo naufragrar al Sirio, un barco italiano de emigrantes a América.
Además de un punto peliagudo para la navegación, Islas Hormigas están consideradas como una de las mejores reservas submarinas del Mediterráneo.
From Cabo de Palos, you can see a small archipelago at its front, the Hormigas Islands.
Apparently peaceful, they are actually the extension of the Cape, the fateful stumbling block that in the summer of 1906 made the Sirius, an Italian ship of emigrants to America sink.
In addition to a tricky spot for navigation, Hormigas Islands are considered as one of the best underwater reserves in the Mediterranean.
The sound of these birds is absolutely unique: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCxOH1zHmNc
The common eider (Somateria mollissima) is a large (50–71 cm (20–28 in) in body length) sea-duck that is distributed over the northern coasts of Europe, arctic North America, north-eatern Siberia, Iceland and Greenland. It breeds in Arctic and some northern temperate regions.
It can fly at speeds up to 113 km/h (70 mph).
This bird is really amazing and I'm so happy with the photo I got from it.
