Here is the original color, unframed, uncropped, unedited version of the photo I posted yesterday from New York City's Lower East Side district. I was fortunate to have my Samzung HZ35W camera, a pocket point and shoot compact with its long zoom and AMOLED screen, to make the shot.
Usually when you create an image on Midrender you have to redo it a few times and then do some post-production to get it right. Occasionally (well, it's happened once!) the picture that's generated doesn't need any further work on it. This is that picture! If you're interested, the prompt that generated it was as follows: /imagine prompt facial closeup of ana de armas in a pink dress on stage, hyper photorealistic, bokeh effect, spot lights, dry ice, octane render, amoled, —ar 16:9 —test —stylize 5000

Have a brilliant Friday, everyone!
Here I go again, another one with soap plants. This one with an abundance of them, dancing in the sunset.
But goodness, the Helios lens rendered this marvelously. It loves yellows and reds. Like my wife pointed out, Helios means Sun. Well, there ya have it.
(Chlorogalum purpurea var. reductum),
Red Hill Rd.,
Eastern San Luis Obispo Co., California
Both varieties of this species are rare, having the California Rare Plant Rank: 1B.1. This one occurs only in San Luis Obispo Co. It is very small, the top of this plant's flowers being only about 3" (~8cm) above the ground. The genus was named after Robert Hoover, author of the original flora of San Luis Obispo (1970) who had much earlier suggested that the genus Chlorogalum was "'comprised of two separate lines of descent,' and this has been confirmed by molercular phylogenetic studies. Hooveria, comprising two diurnally-flowering species is segregated as a genus from three vesperine-flowering species, which remain as Chlorogalum."--Keil and Hoover, Vascular Plants of San Luis Obispo County, California, 2022

Another fantastic colorful sky this morning. I jumped out of bed, quickly dressed then ran down the street with camera in hand trying to capture the magic. Since I typically shoot close to home I struggle to come up with ways to make my images unique today I just used the fence to help tell the story of the sunrise. I later discovered my pants were inside out, haha whoops! Photo mode will do that to me sometimes. Have a wonderful day, thank you for stopping by!

Well friends, I'm sort of going out on a limb here. The image was done for Sliders Sunday, and this morning the camera was set on "Vivid." Then the Topaz software made the scene even more vivid.
The actual rosebud was deep red, and with the processing, the image picked up some magenta hues. All in all, this reminds me of the Amoled screen in Nitza's Samsung phone.
Anyhow, we've got some gorgeous spring weather here. Happy Sliders Sunday!
She was the smallest kid in the orphanage. In the night she slept under a quilt that was smaller than the size of a pillow case. she was so small.

Magical sunlight bathed the field with gold late in the day.
I'd like to honor my amazing dad, who has been nothing short of remarkable with his unwavering drive and work ethic, and his always generous advise and help.
And to all great and caring fathers, happy Father's Day.

On my return to Belgium, there was a city that it could not miss in the itinerary. I always wanted to return to the Flemish city of Ghent, birthplace of the Spanish emperor Charles V. Not as famous as Bruges, but also beautiful, with canals, fantastic medieval architecture and a really interesting history. I could only visit Ghent a few hours 9 years ago, but this time I booked a whole day for it. I was looking forward to sharing with my girlfriend the lovely corners that I remembered, however, upon reaching the historic center, we realized that we had ignored the celebration of the festival that takes place every summer in the city. Gigantic stages, huge advertising posters, food stalls, tents, and much more covered the main streets and squares. A party atmosphere that was not what we were looking for at all. I understand the need for such celebrations, but destroying the views of a World Heritage city should not be allowed. Nothing would happen if they locate the party right next to the historic center, but not exactly in it.
In spite of everything, I breathed in relief when I found that this characteristic view from the St Michael´s Bridge, with the towers of the Old Post Office on the left, and the Church of Saint Nicholas and the Belfry in the background, was not affected if I put the camera near the ground. Trying to photograph here at dusk with the crowd occupying the streets was not viable, so I bet everything for the next dawn. When I arrived here before morning twilight the sky had no clouds. Despite this, I photographed during the whole blue hour, and when the city lights were beginning to be turned off, small clouds began to appear over the horizon. They didn't presage what was going to happen minutes later, but I still decided to wait. Little by little more and more clouds were arriving, just to cover the sky in an incredible way at the best moment when the sun began to rise. It was an explosion of color that lasted a few minutes, but that was more than enough to get photographs that combined with the previous ones of the illuminated buildings, have allowed me to create one of my favorite photographs of my trip through this amazing country.

"Al amanecer, por supuesto, no le importa si lo vemos o no. Seguirá siendo hermoso, incluso si nadie se molesta en mirarlo." Gene Amole.
En mi vuelta a Bélgica, había una ciudad que no podía faltar en el itinerario. Siempre deseé volver a la ciudad flamenca de Gante, lugar de nacimiento del emperador español Carlos V. No tan famosa como Brujas, pero también hermosa, con canales, arquitectura medieval fantástica y con una historia realmente interesante. Solo pude visitarla unas horas hace 9 años, pero esta vez reservé un día entero para ella. Estaba deseando compartir con mi novia los bellos rincones que recordaba, sin embargo, al llegar al centro histórico, nos dimos cuenta de que había pasado por alto la celebración del festival que tiene lugar cada verano en la ciudad. Escenarios gigantescos, carteles enormes de publicidad, puestos de comida, carpas, y mucho más cubría las principales calles y plazas. Un ambiente de fiesta que para nada era lo que veníamos buscando. Entiendo la necesidad de este tipo de celebraciones, pero destruir las vistas de una ciudad Patrimonio de la Humanidad no debería consentirse. No pasaría nada por localizar la fiesta justo al lado del centro histórico, pero no exactamente en él.
A pesar de todo, respiré aliviado cuando constaté que esta vista característica desde el Puente de San Miguel, con las torres de la Antigua Oficina de Correos a la izquierda, y de la Iglesia de San Nicolás y del Campanario civil al fondo, no se veía afectada si colocaba la cámara cerca del suelo. Intentar la fotografía al anochecer con la muchedumbre ocupando las calles no era viable, así que aposté todo al siguiente amanecer. Cuando llegué aquí antes del crepúsculo matutino el cielo no presentaba nubes. A pesar de ello, fotografié durante toda la hora azul, y cuando ya las luces de la ciudad empezaban a apagarse, pequeñas nubes empezaron a asomar por el horizonte. No hacían presagiar lo que iba a suceder minutos después, pero aún así decidí esperar. Poco a poco fueron llegando más y más nubes, justo para cubrir el cielo de forma increíble en el mejor momento cuando el sol comenzaba a asomar. Fue una explosión de color que duró pocos minutos, pero que fue más que suficiente para conseguir fotografías que combinadas con las anteriores de los edificios iluminados, me han permitido crear una de mis fotografías favoritas de mi viaje por este precioso país.
i attempted to capture the temple in a slightly different way than the generalised pics of this place which are readily available in the streets of Amrtisar.
This pic is different than the others because of the details in the sangat, visibility of the minar and the movement of the reflection in the water.

A very diminuitive plant; it is in the CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants on list 1B.1.
Red Hill Rd.,
Eastern San Luis Obispo Co., CA
This species and another diurnal flowering species were just separated from the genus Chlorogalum, which continues to have three vespertine-flowering species. (Other morphological and cytological evidence supported this change.) Though I am not always a fan of new names, in this case I am. The new genus honors Dr. Robert F. Hoover, a big name in 20th century California botany, who named numerous new plant species and was the author of Vascular Plants of San Luis Obispo County, California. He saw this change coming nearly 80 years earlier. In his monograph of the genus Chlorogalum (1940), Hoover wrote after noting some differences among the species, that, “one is led to suspect that the genus as accepted is composed of two separate lines of descent.” This new designation was published by Dean W. Taylor and David J. Keil, October, 2018.
These monks are there probably to maintain some sort of balance. Like day for night and Ying for Yang. There are people, billions of us who use tons and tons of material to be happy. they are happy when they build cars, computers, gadgets theories and what not. BUT inside they never settle to feel the HERENOW.
The tibetan monks are weird because they are not after any theory or material. They dont even have the logic for self defence. Yet inside they know far more about themselves than we do about anything in particular. Like the two opposite poles, they think differently than most of the westernized world.
This obviously is my thought and i have the right to be wrong. But what if as a group they really are happier than the rest? damn i want to burn my computer.
This ever chilled worry proof monk is Kama Ninchi, 24 from YUSHU in QINGHAI, wearing my sunglasses. next to him is Jonny 'HK' Suzunri, a fellow canadian who was trying to figure his own things out there.

I clicked this with aarthy's camera, aarthy's lens and with aarthy's permission. (but on my cf card.)
Shot at the Citi Field station on the MTA's Number 7 train route in Queens, NYC with my small pocket size Samsung HZ-35W. Love this camera's portability and AMOLED display. Not bad results either for a point-and-shoot camera. I was very pleased by the sharp details and contrast shown in the tracks. Blow it up and see for yourself.
This is the very same train line that former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker made disgraceful and bigoted remarks about its riders. His despicable comments were a disgrace to his team (my team) and Major League Baseball as well as an offense against all New Yorkers.
I found this fantastic Bronze Idol of the pair at the Dakshin Chitra when me and Nav were there. I somehow did not notice this when i was there earlier many a times. Like it always is, this place is full of new things each time you visit.
The Intricacy and the details on this idol is so detailed. I could not get past the fencing to take a closer shot. If you look at the idol in person when you go there you can even see skin fragmentation details and moles etc., on this statue.
