As part of Singapore's Light to Night Festival 2023, two light installations were put up at the Padang.
Hearing Padang is comprises 2 large curved structures that creates an acoustic experience that allows sound to travel from one end to another.
As many of you know Polaroid film has gotten very expensive. And the Polaroid55 is the worst! I have a box of 10 year old film and have been using it regardless. this is one. The negative is so washed out you can hardly believe it, but I'm actually getting good images from them. (My color polaroid film from ten years ago is completely gone. Utterly.)
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

The Andean Motmot, as the English name implies, is the Andean representative of the "Blue-crowned Motmot" complex. For many years, all members of this group were considered to be conspecific, but this group now is reclassified as representing five different species. The Andean Motmot occurs in humid montane forests of the Andes mountains of South America, from Colombia south to Bolivia. Andean motmot is a big bird about 50 cm from beak to tail.
These birds often sit still, and in their dense forest habitat can be difficult to see, despite their size. They eat small prey such as insects and lizards, and will also regularly take fruit.

As the light faded Friday night, this tornado looking cloud still hung over the Rocky Mountains. Winds are forecasted to be extremely high today, so I'm sure we will have some interesting cloud formations in the sky.
Have a great week!!!!
As you know it’s rare for me to post a black and white photo as I usually find myself thinking that the colour version is so much prettier. Then there’s the other reason- can’t possibly post that B&W version as there’s so many of the you post far superior monochrome images. But sometimes it’s just worth trying at least I suppose, so this is a B&W image of the bluebells that I posted a few weeks ago. I did find it quite interesting though that the blue turned white.
Thanks for stopping
As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated
Stay safe!
As I sit here, grappling with my thoughts, I realize that expressing my feelings has always been an uphill battle. Emotions, like a tempest within, swirl and churn, but I find myself lost in a sea of words that never quite escape my lips. It's not that I don't want to share; rather, it's a fear of vulnerability that holds me back. I've always feared judgment and rejection, so I keep my emotions guarded, tucked away in the recesses of my heart.
What I can give is my heart made of string.
As you can see Cleo has no negative emotions towards the tinsel despite out little photoshoot during which she had to wear it as a scarf. She even protects the tinsel against her destructive little brother who thinks that everything is a toy. When I took this photo she was watching the Dragon who was about to decorate the house with toilet paper….
well as the title says, its my entry for the Second Life Cracked photo contest . I dont think I ever had such a banging pain doing a picture before and I spent the last hours working on it. I'm still not satisfied with it but time's running and i need to enter it now i think.
I hope you like it.
As the sun sets on the Tamar Valley long shadows appear in the landscape. If you enlarge this shot you can see the East Tamar Highway winding its way from Launceston to George Town. In the foreground there are football fields and cattle grazing.
"Se o sol se por
e a noite chegar
tu és quem me guia...
Se a tempestade
me alcançar
tu és meu abrigo...
Se o mar me submergir
a tua mão me traz à tona
pra respirar..."

Presente que ganhei da amiga Fran Sayuri e que divido com vocês, meus amigos.
A White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) buck is constantly aware of all things in our surrounding habitat as a matter of survival and in matters of reproduction. At this time of the year it is close to the breeding season for these animals and they are tentatively looking for a mate on the National Bison Range near St. Ignatius, Montana, U.S.A.

As with most things in China, their highways are impressive. Beautifully built and with manicured gardens down the middle. Not so impressive is the traffic sense; what was this three wheeled vehicle doing in the centre lane on a three lane highway?
What was our bus driver thinking? Why fall in behind a slow moving three wheeled vehicle when he could have pulled out and passed it long before we caught up with and followed this red terror. China is a country of inexplicable contradictions encountered every day we were there.

In the fashion of John Glover, who climbed Ben Lomond with John Batman in 1833, I have opted for the long descriptive title. But I could just as easily have used the famous Bob Dylan one, "All Along the Watchtower".
This is the view from the Watchtower Lookout. It is a stunning place and my next photograph was taken when I turned the camera down, rather than out across the valley.
The cathedral.
As a typical Romanesque building, Lund Cathedral is distinctively dark, with only small windows to allow sunshine to pass through. The Latin-cross church has three aisles and a transept. The quire (under the crossing) has splendid gothic choir stalls from the 1370s. The gothic winged-altarpiece of the main chapel of the apse dates from 1398.
The cathedral's south aisle has an information counter, a globe of light and various exhibitions.
As I'm descending from Carn Liath I have a great view of Glen Dee in front of me as a snow shower falls in the distance. As my hands warmed up they hurt even worse and were so painful. Fortunately that's subsiding now so I can enjoy the views.
As the sun sets on some more of that magic plastic that we use here in Central Coast California to grow our berries.
As I was driving by this old barnyard, I noticed a few chickens hurriedly making their way across the yard to the shed. Then I spied the problem. A cocky rooster was purposely strutting toward the hens with just one thing on his mind. All I could think of was that the farmer bought a new young rooster and the hens were not pleased. I wish I could have watched what unfolded, but I was stopped in the middle of a country road (yet again). I can hear the ladies now, “We want old Mr. Doodledont back again.”
As the first rays of the sunrise embrace the horizon, we welcome a new year filled with hope, dreams, and endless possibilities. Here's to making every moment as golden as this morning. Wishing you all a joyful, prosperous, and peaceful New Year 2025!

"are you back?" he asked.
"maybe," came her cool response, drifting on a curling breeze from the ocean that was weighted heavy with salt and dreams. she was like that, you know. bitter sweet.
"i want you back." his eyes were tender as he reached for a beer, cracked it open, took a sip. he kept is eyes on her.
"yeah," she shook her short hair, and the wind sent it everywhere. it sent her scent everywhere. garnier fructis. cheap shit never smelled so good. "me, too."
he took her picture like that. hands stuffed in the pockets of her jean jacket -- half dressed, covered in sand and provoking. she was always provoking something. emotions. sex. laughs. smiles. hatred. this time it was lust.
god, he missed her to her marrow.

As you celebrate the miracle of this special season, may your hearts be filled with joy and peace, "for unto us a child is born, unto us a child is given...".
I was able to get out, tromp around in the snow and take some photos today - this week the flurry of guests and merriment begins in earnest. Hope you all can enjoy time with friends and family - see you next year!
As the slight breeze moved the European Garden spider, I realized I was watching a graceful pirouette in progress. Brava!
