“To Be Real”
As the sky turned into dreams above the ocean,
and the spectators long waited for it to turn that;
it became THE ONE moment.
🌅 we went out sea shoring sunsetting with friends - and had some snacks and gossips on life and partnerships and direction - and how we'd adore med from near the ocean, away from the chaotic city lives and sadness and troubles of the humans.
how are you, friends? sending December greetings, and wishes 💕
if life is giving you lemons, take a deep breathe, take it slow, and breathe and talk it out. sending good-luck-charms back to all. ☘️🍀
regarding last post, couldn't get back to you all - but I'd, slow by slow.
As the grass grows the task of taking photo's becomes ever more difficult. I there shot through the grass
As with every other conceivable activity in the world there is a considerable stable of YouTube influencers out there that put out videos on the subject of film photography. Some are very knowledgeable about the craft of analogue photography, others have more of an instagram vibe about them and could perhaps be described as falling more on the hipster side of things. Both are relevant to their own audiences and indeed there is a great deal of crossover of viewers (like myself) that tolerate and to some degree, enjoy both.
However, where the hipsters will no doubt disagree with me is my post production work on this image, shot on Cinestill 800T colour film, a fast cinematic film that is mostly designed for use under tungsten lighting. It can of course be shot anywhere under any conditions but it has a unique feature that when shot in daylight conditions I absolutely hate. Here is where the hipsters and I part company. The feature I speak of is that in any high contrast areas of the frame the film will almost inevitably show a very strong red haloing effect. I remember that in this frame the low sun was hitting the building from the left side and the entire edge of the building on that side was showing that distinct red haloing effect. Now the hipsters love that stuff. The more the better for a lot of them, apparently it looks cool (no pun intended). Nope, not for me. So it was a B&W conversion which thankfully took care of it in one fell swoop. Sorry hipsters, I love the passion you bring to film photography and I commend you for it but I'm an old git and I just want a little calm in my life.

As long as I've been photographing old dutch windmills I still needed a picture of one with lightning in the back. I think this is a successful one (although the mill isn't exactly sharp...).
Life as we know it seems to have faded away. However, I have faith that we will band together to fight this pandemic. It will take time, but I believe things will become clear again! Happy Slider Sunday! The columns were moved from the US Capitol, put in storage, and then installed here.

As legend has it long before Cv-19, Lord Berkeley used to sit up on top smoking his pipe, and dangling his feet over the edge enjoying the views hence the name Lord Berkeley's Seat.
The whole face of An Teallach is undercut at this point, so the exposure is dramatic right down to the paddling pool below.
Here's to dipping our toes in the cooling waters again!
PS - special kudos to anyone who can get a bearing on my bright red tent as in "Where's Wally"? Best advice to view in double large for any tryers out there.🎪
As i stand between the trees
Thoughts they blow upon the breeze
Wild thoughts, thoughts of love
Rise high into the branches above
My roots exposed for all to see
As i wait under the tree
For the return of my queen
Between the branches, wild passion seen
As much as I love the Summer months then end of Daylight Savings is the best day of the year as we get the extra hour. I am so on top of everything today. I found these gorgeous meringues in our local fruit store.
See comments for the last of the fig series and a really easy recipe and a photo I took for Red Stiletto last week. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I am taking Zephyr to see Guy Sebastian today, it is his first concert but I think I am more excited.
As promised, Bugs In Flight, Season 2, Episode 1: co-starring a male Vermilion Flycatcher along the Big Sough at Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge, Texas.

As i was driving towards Athens followed a new road and found this almost new manmade lake 'Smokovou '. Had no idea about this spot. Looking forward for more to come!!
He has been such a bad dog today! It's been raining, but he has found some mouldy old apple windfalls, and is determined that we will be out there throwing them for him to fetch. He wouldn't come inside, he wouldn't let me dry his feet, he didn't want to do anything that was asked of him - he has learned the power of "No", and, it seems, there is nothing we can do right now. He was so muddy as well...all the floors have needed a good clean as well as the dog himself! It may be, of course that he can't see a lot - he is booked in for a haircut next week....

This limestone outcrop just north of the very small hamlet of Kaeo proved to be quite challenging to photograph. On our way north, I had thrust the camera into Averil's hands and said, "Quick; get a photo of that!"
Alas, all she got was a lovely shot of the long roadside grass - which was hardly surprising because we were traveling at 100kph, there was traffic behind us (so we couldn't slow down), and there was no room to pull over!
On the way south a week later, we pulled on to a dusty metal side-road to try again, but with no zoom, the phone camera didn't handle the long-distance shot very well at all...
And then, as we continued south, the outcrop disappeared behind hills, trees, farm buildings and who knows what else, but just when I was resigned to the fact that we'd never capture the Feature on this trip, we rounded a bend in the highway, and there it was: as large as life.
And this time, we stopped on the side of the road for the photo...!
Happy Fence Friday everyone!
Thanks so much for visiting my Site Folks, and thanks especially for taking the time and trouble to leave a Comment; it's always nice to hear from you...!

Soft, subtle and “Quiet As A Rose” This rose is small and petite. A rose does doesn’t make a sound but it’s beauty can get people talking. Lightly the light dances on its surface and shows off her beauty. Gratitude and Kindness filled the room when I captured this. Thanks for viewing and leaving any comments you please.
Another shot as I made my away around this lake during this years first snowfall. I love that the trees in the foreground still had some color. Every year, I take a shot of this lake at 1st snowfall. Its become a personal tradition. And each year, the image I get has its own personality.
Unlike my other post of the train's headlights in the snow, the snowfall rate in this scene was much lighter. It was hard to tell if it was the snow fall that gave the scene that foggy look or if it was actually fog.
I'm pretty sure its the falling snow. You can click on the picture to see the larger view.

She stood for a long moment watching the water, as if waiting for something to emerge from the silence beneath the arches.
The concrete above her repeated itself again and again, a quiet tunnel of light and shadow, while the river moved slowly past. For a moment the world felt ordered—lines, reflections, and a solitary figure standing at the center of it all.
Some places ask nothing of us except that we pause long enough to notice them.
As with some 1960/70's TV comedies these cards which were very popular in the 50's, 60's & 70's have gone out of favour in this more woke world.
SCOUT: "Daddy? Daddy!"
DADDY: "Yes Scout?"
SCOUT: "Daddy, I want everyone to see the beautiful Little Red Riding Hood that I received as a Christmas gift from Father Christmas and the Christmas Bear this year!" *Preens.* "I look soooo pretty in it! Can you put my photograph on Looking Close on Friday? Please!"
DADDY: "But Scout, the theme for this week is red bows."
SCOUT: "Well, my new Little Red Riding Hood ties with a bow under my chin!" *Nods emphatically.* "See?" *Points to bow with paw.*
DADDY: "Hhhmmm... well, that is true, Scout, it does." *Doubtful.* "However, it's very small! The bow needs to be more of a focal point for the photograph."
SCOUT: "Oh I can fix that, Daddy!" *Smiles.* "Wait there!" *Rushes away before coming back with a big red bow tied under his chin.* "Now can you put my photograph on Looking Close on Friday, please Daddy?"
DADDY: "Goodness! Where did that ribbon come from?"
SCOUT: "It was one of the ones you collected from Christmas Day, yesterday. I think I look pretty!" *Preens more.* "Now, can you PLEASE put my photograph on Looking Close on Friday, Daddy, so that everyone can admire me?"
DADDY: "Alright Scout."
SCOUT: "Oh thank you, Daddy!" *Preens even more.* "I knew you would see it my way... eventually."
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 26th of December is "red bow". My little bear Scout received this beautifully made Little Red Riding Hood cape from Father Christmas and the Christmas Bear for Christmas this year, and whilst Scout is correct, it does tie with a bow, the bow was very small, so being a master of dress-ups, Scout embellished his new cape with a lovely big red bow! I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.

As we sailed through Doubtful Sound, low clouds and mist drifted lazily over the water and mountains, shrouding the landscape in an ethereal veil. With every turn of the boat, we seemed to slip further into a mysterious world, where the boundaries between land, sea, and sky blurred.
Punctuated only by the gentle movement of the boat, we were completely silenced by the sense of wonder, as if we had entered a hidden realm untouched by time.
RDC AS 28922 Niebüll - Westerland
I hadn't expected to visit the Marschbahn again after the introduction of Vectrons with Talgo trainsets, but Donna, in service for RDC, and a pair of 218's in the DB Autozug service attracted me...
