Underneath the Sugar Pines (with an ultrawide lens) - Batlow, NSW

nothing makes me happier than glass i can use more than once. a $3 serving plate- my newest best friend. :))

no matter what you see,it just matters what you feel...

Egal was du siehst, es ist nur wichtig, was du fühlst ...

Δεν έχει σημασία αυτό που βλέπεις, αυτό που έχει σημασία είναι αυτό που νιώθεις ...

Thank you always my dear friends!

A building on Oxford Street, London.

Strictly speaking, one never understands anything from a photograph - Susan Sontag, "On Photography"

Pitched detail of the Hiberus Hotel under the early evening sun (Zaragoza).

Architects: Martínez Lapeña - Torres Arquitectos, Barcelona (José Antonio Martínez Lapeña y Elías Torres Tur).

Developers: Zaragoza Urbana. Palafox Hoteles.

This horizontal-shaped building boasts a construction quite untypical for an urban hotel. Minimalist in many ways, it looks pretty cold for my taste, yet it neatly fits in its natural environment, smartly protected from the strong regional wind and the outside noise by glass and concrete walls, which are different in size to provide a unique perspective. // Este edificio horizontal exhibe una construcción bastante atípica para ser un hotel urbano. Minimalista en varios sentidos, tiene un aspecto bastante frío para mi gusto, aunque encaja muy bien en su entorno natural, inteligentemente protegido del fuerte viento regional y del ruido exterior por muros de hormigón y vidrio, que tienen tamaños diferentes para proporcionar una perspectiva única.

I wasn't going to post this version, but after reading my dear friend William's comment at my previous upload, I decided it would be interesting to see what my friends thoughts will be for this one, too ;))

Another photo looking up at the curvaceous balconies of the 'Riverwalk' apartments, overlooking the River Thames at Westminster, in London.

Architects: Stanton Williams.

Water-art.

At this moment we have a lot of rain instant of snow, but I like waterdrops too ;-)) It gives a lovely abstract.

As mentioned in a comment on a previous photo in the series, these are generally pictures taken straight down on a grey cement floor. Colors appear during post-processing that depend in part on processing choices and in part on the quality of interior and exterior light on the scene. It didn't look like this when I saw it.

Thanks very much to all for the positive comments!

For Macro Mondays 28DEC15: Redux 2015--My Favorite Theme of the Year. This is for the Abstract in Macro theme.

These bubbles formed after leaving cold water in a small flat bottle. As the water warmed to room temperature, nitrogen and oxygen slowly came out of solution, with tiny bubbles forming and coalescing at sites of microscopic imperfections on the glass (www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-bubbles-form-if-a/). I put white tissue paper about 6 inches behind the bottle and backlit with a flashlight. This was shot at 1:1 and slightly cropped.

Thanks for viewing and Happy Final Macro Monday of 2015!

Headed outside this morning after some much needed summer rain.

The my first abstract creation

But they are very hot when you eat them.

Playing with my stairs-photo 'Different' (see first comment box), to create Abstract 2.

Used that photo 4 times and enhanced the colors.

Happy Weekend ;-))

Detail of Comcast Technology Center in Center City Philadelphia. The 60-floor building is the one the relatively recent additions to the city skyline, and the tallest in the US outside of Manhattan and Chicago (that's a significant exclusion, I must add: you can always be the best in something if you attach enough conditions :-)
