DANGEROUS SUMMER GAMES...
Thornwick, on the beautiful North-Yorkshire Heritage Coast.
Thornwick Bay is located next to Flamborough .
A headland and magnificent cliffs with two bays of shingle, pebbles and flint.
The large bay is Thornwick Bay and the small one, Little Thornwick Bay.
Limestone rocks and cliffs, fretted by the sea, small beaches and plenty of mysterious caves.
Many come the see it from the sea in all sorts, here a group of colourful vessels, people rowing together, their voices tinged with joy resonating amongst the heights.
The youngsters, on the top were engaged in a much more dangerous game... diving off the cliff.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_RED_💋
The red flowers say it all.
From ‘I love you’ to ‘I can’t live without you,’ from ‘I am pissed’ to ‘I am proud of you!’
When you find yourself fumbling for the right words to describe the situation and when you can’t figure out what might be the right gift for your special occasion, always trust the red flowers to do their job.
Red blooms also represent strength and courage.
They exude energy and positive vibes.
They are just so varied, delightful!
Have a glorious day and thank you, M, (*_*)

The station of Pickering, North-Yorkshire...
I ran alongside, as the steam train was leaving the station... photographing on the run...it made the driver smile,
Most of the passengers may not realise how reliant upon volunteers the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is.
With the magnificent steam engines, beautiful rural stations and smartly uniformed staff, a visit to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is like taking a step back in time.
From the smoke and steam pouring from the engines to the cosy wood-panelled carriages and friendly conductor service, the railway is both lovingly preserved and charmingly authentic.
It’s also the perfect starting point for a day out, whether you’re travelling between the rugged Yorkshire villages, hiking on the wind swept moors or spending a day by the seaside in Whitby.
You know by now that I am a 'purist? Prefer proper pure photography with the, nowadays, often forgotten important ingredient: EMOTION!

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_RED_💋
Red is the colour of seduction and desire, which is time-bound.
Hence, if you are planning to send red flowers to your soul mate, it is better to mix them up with white flowers so that you convey the right feeling, which is the desire of true and intense love.
With beauty, courage and heat as its symbolism, it's no surprise that a bouquet filled with rich, red blooms knows no restraint.
Red flowers represent the matter of the heart.
Red is the colour of blood, the sign of liveliness and the sign of life in you.
Hence, the matter of heart and life is regulated and represented by red flowers.
The red flowers say it all. From ‘I love you’ to ‘I can’t live without you,’ from ‘I am pissed’ to ‘I am proud of you!’
When you find yourself fumbling for the right words to describe the situation and when you can’t figure out what might be the right gift for your special occasion, always trust the red flowers to do their job.

#AbFav_MIRRORING_ 🔎
#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
My youngest son, from when he was a little boy had a huge interest in trucks, when I came back from the States and Canada, I always knew what to bring him, magazines on those monster trucks, beautifully painted and maintained, the centrefolds all ended up on his bedroom walls.
He studied, had a very good job, when he called me to say he was taking all the exams that would fullfil his dream. He quit the job and became a truck driver! For a number of years he drove International and mostly Arctic.
One of his routes was the UK, he’d call me out of the blue, I’d pack and go, once we did 6 countries in one go, England/Belgium/Holland/Germany/Denmark/Sweden. Let’s not glamourize it, it’s not the scenic beauty of the countries that you take in, but motorway, not the most exciting, it is monotonous, you fly past all the wonderful names, and if you’re lucky sometimes you’ll see a glimmer in the distance.
It’s tough, stressful, under constant time pressure. The truck becomes your home for a week, except for the ferry crossings (on ferries they have their own quarters, restaurants, relaxing areas and sleeping cabins with shower, you'd BETTER be QUIET in those passages!
We had some wonderful times and adventures, great memories, lots of stories, all written....
Now he is married, they have a little girl. He’s given up THE life…
He drives a huge Mercedes with a trailer=a deep-loader to transport very heavy loads, like huge cranes and giant bulldozers.
This is the highest truck I was ever in, very comfortable, especially for the driver, a special hydraulic seat, airco, great music and communication console.
All the mirrors are NOT luxury or bling!
They have to be in constant contact with base, because things change often by the minute.
I'll always be grateful for our 'trips' together, they were great times, he is a very responsible driver and I am proud of him!.
I discovered a 'hidden' world, around service stations, ports, parkings, we fly past them, but they are there... waiting, eating, resting, sleeping, doing their paper-work, looking up routes and addresses, phoning home... Everything in our world at some point was hauled in one of those trucks by one of those people!
They work hard for a living, but it’s a world within ours, almost a community.
And it is NOT glamorous at all, often boring, motorways in countries are all pretty much the same!
Look around you, in your home, anywhere, think of your food… what, at some point in time was not on the road, being transported in a truck?
I wish you a super day and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

I always look forward to meeting our friends in Belgium, they are all creatives in their own way.
And then, there is of course, the day we spend with Willem.
I have taken to visit the garden with his dear lady, and the first thing I look for, is the 'artistic' wall.
Each time it is different!
Added, or lessened, always interesting.
Aaah artists, cannot get rid of stuff, might just need that one day.

My little granddaughter, an only child, so used to play alone, in her own world a lot, I was observing her and taking photographs of these wonderful moments.
Most of the time she was unaware of me.
Her dad was also watching her, and moved in closer the moment he thought she could hurt herself.
After the fun, we went for a huge ice-cream.
Sweet days.
Thanks and have a happy day, Magda, (*_*)

Japanese old wooden houses.
We visited the whole neighbourhood, BEAUTIFUL!!!
Machiya are traditional wooden townhouses found throughout Japan.
This here is in Kanazawa.
Machiya or townhouses and nōka (farm dwellings) constitute the two categories of Japanese vernacular architecture known as minka (folk dwellings).
Machiya originated as early as the Heian period and continued to develop through to the Edo period and even into the Meiji period.
Machiya housed urban merchants and craftsmen, a class collectively referred to as chōnin (townspeople).
There is ONE from Brugge!
Have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

#AbFav_MY_THEMES_LIGHTPLAY 💖
#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
Most of you will know by now, how much I love playing with light.
Well, these was one of these 'sessions', when imagination and creativity joined in the studio.
These lights, plastic tubes filled with little lights, had 'entertained' us the whole Summer in the garden.
It seemed silly to leave them out now, so, in they came!
Then, something happened, I saw them and thought, now wait a minute, what if, euhhh, yes, do this, try that?
I was thrilled now, and started to try ALL sorts...
Here I'm using 2 tubes, I tried different techniques with the studio-lights. Love a challenge, and it was.
To freeze me = washed out the lights too much.
So, the old joke was always that photographers do it in the dark! Here's PROOF!IN AUTUMN DARKNESS... A ROSE
These are the best, hah, sigh, what a great time I had and glad with the results.
Wish you many moments like this, photography can do that for you eh?
Have a great day and thank you, M, (*_*)For more: www.indigo2photography.com

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
My neighbour grows this lovely vine... it is now absolutely delightful.
I brought some leaves into the studio and made a composition.
First thing you see of course are the colours in this grapevine leaf... but then the eye gets drawn in to the 'twine'...
I love the 'simple complexity' of this structure.
It reminds me so much of LIFE.
A great metaphor for it?
All through our lives, from birth we are surrounded, we form bonds, friendships, partnerships; some last… some don’t...
I like to think of myself as very individualistic, but have wisely decided that we all need each other.
We are NOT meant to be solitaire!
I also see this image as a symbol of how, in a good relationship, you as a person, together with your partner, your lives become 'intertwined' and therefore so much stronger...
Soul-mates will feel themselves bonded together for a lifetime.
Having no permanent links, the denizen of our liquid modern society must tie whatever bonds they can to engage with others, using their wits, skill and dedication. But none of these links are guaranteed to last.
Moreover, they must be tied loosely so that they can be untied again, quickly and as effortlessly as possible, when circumstances change - as they surely will, over and over again.
The frailty of human links, the feeling of insecurity that frailty inspires, and the conflicting desires to tighten the bonds yet keep them loose, all make us more vulnerable.
Some of us are ‘loners’ either through choice or circumstances, but I don’t think that we were ever meant to be by ourselves, that we ‘operate’ better in a social context if we are not without any links.
When you have found the right person to form your ‘permanent’ link with, HOLD TIGHT, because it means STRENGTH!
Wishing you a wonderful day and as always, thank you for visiting, Magda, (*_*)

Something quite different for me, coz I don't do birds!
A black Swan, Mr and MRS Blackbird, sparrow, an Ostrich in the Cape, South-Africa
And a Cormorant in PADSTOW, Cornwall.
This Cormorant had been delighting me with its dives and popping up when it flew onto the sandbank and took this pose, I gather to dry its feathers?
They are coastal rather than oceanic birds, and some have colonised inland waters.
They range around the world, except for the central Pacific islands.
They are fish-eaters, dining on small eels, fish, and even water snakes.
They dive from the surface, though many species make a characteristic half-jump as they dive, presumably to give themselves a more streamlined entry into the water.
Under water they propel themselves with their feet.
Some cormorant species have been found, using depth gauges, to dive to depths of as much as 45 meters.
After fishing, cormorants go ashore, and are frequently seen holding their wings out in the sun; it is assumed that this is to dry them.
Unusually for a water bird, their feathers are not waterproofed.
This may help them dive quickly, since their feathers do not retain air bubbles. (info Wikipedia)
Have a sunny day, thank you, M, (*_*)

People who need people...
Are the luckiest people in the world
Not 100% agree with those lyrics, I do not like the word 'need', it speaks to me of dependant on it?
However, that it is beneficial to meet people now and then, I am convinced of.
I do not mind 'alone', happy either way.

Now he is married, they have a little girl. He’s given up THE life…
He drives a huge Mercedes with a trailer=a deep-loader to transport very heavy loads, like huge cranes and giant bulldozers.
This is the highest truck I was ever in, very comfortable, especially for the driver, a special hydraulic seat, airco, great music and communication console.
All the mirrors are NOT luxury or bling!
They have to be in constant contact with base, because things change often by the minute.
I'll always be grateful for our 'trips' together, they were great times, he is a very responsible driver and I am proud of him!.
I discovered a 'hidden' world, around service stations, ports, parkings, we fly past them, but they are there... waiting, eating, resting, sleeping, doing their paper-work, looking up routes and addresses, phoning home... Everything in our world at some point was hauled in one of those trucks by one of those people!
They work hard for a living, but it’s a world within ours, almost a community.
And it is NOT glamorous at all, often boring, motorways in countries are all pretty much the same!
Look around you, in your home, anywhere, think of your food… what, at some point in time was not on the road, being transported in a truck?
I wish you a super day and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

#AbFav_AIR_SKY_ ☁
#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
Table Mountain has its own cloud cover (the Tablecloth), forming rapidly when the wind is in the southeast and is mainly responsible for the lush plateau vegetation.
Table Mountain’s ‘tablecloth’ is an orographic cloud formation (clouds that develop in response to the forced lifting of air by the earth’s topography).
As a south-easterly wind blowing up the mountain slopes meets colder air at higher altitude, condensation takes place and a thick mist soon coats the top-most regions of the mountain.
As the cloud-cover pours over the side of the mountain, the process is reversed. Clouds encounter warmer air layers lower down, where the moisture evaporates, making the clouds disappear.
Despite its undeniable beauty, the tablecloth can be dangerous to unwary hikers.
The cloud often descends rapidly, obscuring visibility and posing a threat to hikers unfamiliar with the mountain.
This is a view taken from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in the historic heart of Cape Town's working harbour and South Africa's most-visited destination, having the highest rate of foreign tourists of any attraction in the country.
Prince Alfred, second son of Queen Victoria, began construction of the harbour in 1860.
The first basin was named after himself, the second after his mother, hence the name.
The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront development is a renewal project that incorporates much of the historic harbour infrastructure.
As you can see, the weather cadges very fast sometimes.
Have a great day and as always, thank you, M, (*_*)

The greens of May... the greens never more fresh, it had rained the day before...
May is treating us with THE BEST!!!
Well I think May is the sweetest month, everything so fresh, and the foliage not yet dense, so it lets through the gorgeous light!
Just a few of the images I came home with, a flavour of the opulence with which I was surrounded, what a feast for all the senses.
Have a glorious day and thank you, M, (*_*)

The minuscule flowers are like twinkling stars.
Tiarella, or foamflower, is a genus of wildflower and garden plants found in Asia and Northern hemisphere.
They belong to the saxifrage family (Saxifragaceae).
Tall heads of starry white flowers open from pink buds, over elegant palmate evergreen foliage which has a darker bar in the center of the rich green leaf.
Very pretty and flowers really well.
I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

Vice Admiral Tim Laurence.
ABOUT THE PORTRAIT in PHOTOGRAPHY...
Photography is a powerful medium.
Too often underestimated, yet it is the perfect recording of our history, forever changing lifestyles, the all important memories...
Cameras only the tools of the trade, note I write 'cameras', no distinction, it is my firm conviction that it is the person using the tools that is responsible for the result.
An often neglected form of art in photography is that of portrait photography.
What is perceived as a good portrait photographer not only wants to capture the true likeness, but also the personality of the individual.
The photographer needs to be proficient not only in the workings and setting of the camera, but also needs to understand form and lighting.
Great lighting and positioning can make someone appear at their best form if used correctly.
Lighting and camera placement can also aid in correcting defects such as shortening a nose, making someone appear slimmer, and other visual enhancements.
In this form of art, portrait photography takes on many roles, and can help create various moods that the individual is seeking.
Like in everything else, there’s ever changing TREND.
You only have to look at the family/school/wedding portrait of 50-20 years ago!!!!!!!!
A dynamic portrait like the above, would not have been possible, everything had to be neatly 'all-in', best clothes, a visit to the hairdresser, from a respectable distance, ‘décor’ background and props.
I like the way it's going, but it's taken some time...
I believe we have become too obsessed with the 'technicality' of the manipulation rather than with the content of the pictures.
Personally, if a photograph touches me, that is the first criterion!
Unfortunately I must admit, if it has been 'massacred' with some software, that rapidly takes away ALL emotions except, GGGGRRRRRR, hihi,
Anybody (hate the question) who asks me: 'and, what do you photograph?' makes me think, my answer would be the BEAUTY in everything?
However I must admit, portraiture may be the most difficult discipline, I find it also the most rewarding!
Have a wonderful day and thank you very much for your comments, always appreciated, M, (*_*)

People seem to have different attitudes towards religion?
New Gods?
They used to attend mass on a Sunday, in the old days very much in the catholic and protestant churches of Europe, with best clothes on, the entire family.
Now they found a new thing to do, the entire family are now to be found in these modern Cathedrals: these shopping centers popping up all over, often the men look rather gruff till they see an Apple store" LOL
The children hate it and are pulling and wailing, till they get an ice cream or something sweet.
I mean shouldn't they be playing in a park or on a beach?Nobody looks very happy!
Except young couples love, they find happiness EVERYWHERE!
Ah well, it is progression...

Make up your own story here?
Young and free, they were looking for their MAAAAAAAM...
A sheep in its first year is a lamb and its meat is also lamb, a pale pink.
A sheep in its second year and its meat are hogget and darker.
Older sheep meat is mutton and very dark.
Generally, "hogget" and "sheep meat" are not used by consumers outside New Zealand and Australia, only the industry.
I am a pescatarian!

I have seen white, caramel, black and red so far.
Most beach sand colour range from pale cream to golden to caramel, but in select places around the world, sands can be red, brown, pink, orange, gold, purple, green, and black.
It so amazes me how it can be formed and yes, sculpted by the elements, and of course also by man.
A never-ending source of pleasure for me, I can be on a beach for hours, my eyes scanning for social things, well, special to me, hope to you too?
I am starved at the moments...

HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY.
The beautiful North-Yorkshire Dales.
Often at the bottom you will find a stream, could be small like this one or quite wide!
We had some spring rain and now everything looks so fresh with young green.
The Dales are laced with loose-stone walls.
How Green Was My Valley is a 1939 novel by Richard Llewellyn.
I ADORE and admire trees, their strength but also their flexibility.... I wonder if I was a tree in a previous life, lOLOLOL
Wishing you well and stay safe!

Nowadays, sadly, wherever, you'll come across the junk and litter people have discarded negligently.
Are we the only animals who soil their nest?
Well, I was raised differently, as were my sons and now their children!
How often do you see stuff rolling and blowing about right next to the empty dustbin?
It angers me no end!
Children and most exasperatingly adults WITH children, casually finish food (or not...) and drop it, walk away from it, like a dog from its pooh!
All of this clean up is costing society a fortune, money that could be spend on so many fun and better activities.
Would they do this at home? Hmmmm, probably?
Sad, so sad, it’s a sad, sad situation….
Realising there is little that I could do about it and that the negative emotion was detrimental to my wellbeing, I started to use it in a 'creative' way, a different approach...
Better for my soul, lol.
I NEVER move anything or set it up, I just come across them.
No matter where in the world you are!
Respect and keep it clean and thank you, M, (*_*)
