Had a stop at this well known waterfall on my way back home from Jotunheimen a couple of weeks back, and pulled out my wide angle lense for the first time in a long time! Had hoped for some more autumn colors, but apart from that the conditions were nice! Hope you like it and wish you a nice sunday evening!

Week 49/52

A Glossy Ibis stretching her mouth while perched on top a large Juniper bush. What a fun day we had at the OCNJ Rookery on Sunday. The Herons, Egrets, and other Waders were in abundance and eager to be photographed. Please view large for best Glossy Ibis experience. :)

 

Monday and back to work! Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the day~!

A beautiful old tree along the road in western Montana. I like the color version of this as well, but there's something about this monochrome that I prefer.

Zimminyville was est. July 2017. Curfax & Flo had a vision for the land on earth & moon. Winter, Summer & Fall. Be sure to check out the working Drive In, Balloon Ride, Also take a ride in a space pod to the moon. A very photogenic sim.

Sankt Englmar (English: Saint Englmar) is a municipality in the district of Straubing-Bogen. The name of the place comes from a hermit named Engelmarus, who was born in 1060 in Lüftlhof, Passau. after he was taught by a bishop, he decided to make a colony near the river in Donau. Engelmarus was a popular guy and was thought to be an animal healer. He was killed in the winter of 1100, when some of his "followers" beat him to death, probably because of jealousy. His body was found during Pentecost by a priest named Ruodbertus, who brought his body to the valley, where he was buried. In the year 1131, they built a church over his burial spot. Later the place was colonized and the place was dubbed "Sankt Englmar". This is one of our favorite places in autumn and winter, because, do to its elevation, it often sunny, whereas the Danube valley is full of fog, as you can see in some of my prior images shown in my Photostream.

A macro shot; I don't know what kind of tree this came from, but with a little imagination; it might look like some sort of nature "hit squad", flying high; off on a mission! :)

A relatively new building in a style that I'd call Soviet-inspired prefab.

 

But I like the shapes and the way the light plays around with them.

 

Could the shapes be inspired by tyres?

Bicocca (the former Pirelli factory grounds), Milano, Italia.

 

I found very little info, not even the architect's name.

Building started in 2018, and it's owned by a company named società Caltagirone.

Have a wonderful new week, everyone...

Took a trip out to Prospect last night. The aim of the mission was to practice my low light, long exposure photography. So here's the thing...It was very cold, my night shots were terrible, my low light shots were okay....BUT what I just couldn't get to grips with was the fact this...ONE of the TWO fishing shacks I love the most in the Province has been re-shingled and NOT been re-painted RED. I am beyond upset about this! This cove was SO picture perfect before. Please if the owners are reading this...You have done a lovely job with the shingles, but please for the love of art, paint it red again.

“The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.

Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”

Tahereh Mafi (American author, *1988)

 

Thanks for the texture goes to InSightDesigns. The birds have flown in from IremAkbas. The moon brush is by Hawksmont.

A much darker edit than my previous mono edit... an unposed portrait.

 

A beggar shot on the streets of Bath. Bath is such a rich city as English cities go and yet still there is this pain and suffering.... this poor man's anguish was evident in his eyes.

My friends,

I created my little (really small) business last Wednesday. In fact, I am the boss and employee. :)

I must say I do not know if I will succeed to earn some money, but one thing is certain, in a week (or two) my website will be there. It is already online but empty now...

I'm scared, really do not know how things will happen...

 

Have a lovely new weekend...

A huge ego is your worst enemy. An inflated ego can lead you astray and ruin your life. It can destroy your relationships, prevent you from recognizing opportunities, and inhibit true success. Granted, we all need self-esteem and confidence to win in this world. But when confidence becomes arrogance, you risk ruining everything you’ve worked hard to build.

Thank you for your visits and comments!. especially appreciated about my long time Flickr friend's supporting on my works!.

A moody morning at Gray Lodge Wildlife Preserve in the Sacramento Valley. This is major migration destination for thousands of birds. On this day many of the birds had yet to arrive, but by months end the area was blanketed by birds of many feathers.

This is a beautiful Texas Rhubarb aka Giant Gunnera in Stanley Park that has folded in on itself for winter. I think it makes an interesting abstract. There are so many beautiful details when seen large.

 

THANK YOU ALL FOR ANY AND ALL VIEWS, COMMENTS AND FAVES, ETC. IT'S APPRECIATED VERY MUCH.

...was the Zoo visit for Buddylein :)

A normal nightly walk in the park. Good music coming threw my earbuds. Enjoying the simple peace at Sunset. The Sun got lower and lower on the horizon. At the same time the colors we witnessed we’re getting brighter and brighter. Sunsets deliver more than color to me. It’s miraculous to me that between great music and the wonderful colors provided by the Creator during a sunset that a day of physical pain and a somewhat questionable mood can be turned around. Worrying never changes anything. I say, take in the riches of a great Sunset and wonderful music and let life’s troubles dissipate while you enjoy “A Spring Sunset”

Thanks for viewing my work.

A bit behind in gazing at your lovely photographs. Things are a bit wonky right now. Hope to catch up soon!

 

This little one was basking in the sun as it rising. Recommend zooming if you want to see her lovely details ;D

 

be well!

... for a HMBT!
