Upstairs at The Gatehouse, Highgate, London. In this case the musicians were The Jive Aces with their Roots of Elvis show. Worked well in this small venue of about 200 seats.
yes.. this waterfall has been photographed a few times by me. I hope to someday get this thing out of my system. I do, however, try to mix it up...
This is a self of me painting it with a natural 2Million candlewatt spotlight.
There base colours have dried overnight, now it is time for add a bit of detail. I want to keep this to a minimum though, especially on the parts that have been re-imagined with little physical evidence. This includes most of the lower front wall, the building was redeveloped in the 1920s as a car salesroom.
There are about two dozen black-capped chickadees that frequent my feeders. They have grown very used to my presence, and often land on me. So, they have become my most-used subjects.
These little birds are very animated, talkative, and companionable. They are also quite tiny, and their length is under 5 inches.

Adding a few more photos from my archives. More free space needed on my computer, so lots of checking and deleting old images. If I wrote a description under other photos taken on the same outing/drive, I will add it to these five shots. Also, after posting a number of winter photos recently, I need to add some colour to my photostream.
"Waterton Lakes National Park is where three friends (Anne B, Janet and Shirley) and I went the last two days, 11 and 12 June 2018. Part of Monday was spent travelling south to Waterton Lakes National Park, stopping at several places en route, including Lundbreck Falls. With no stops, it takes roughly three hours to get there. We stayed on Monday night at the Bear Mountain Motel in Waterton town. Tuesday morning, we drove around the Waterton area, hoping to maybe see more bears, and then made our way back north, reaching Calgary late afternoon/early evening. As it was, we were so lucky to see a gorgeous Cinnamon Black Bear, at first from a great distance and then unexpectedly close. Also spotted a Black Bear in among the blackened, burned trees that were near the edge of the road. It was very difficult to see and impossible to find an open spot through which to take photos - but it was our second bear.
I had been hoping to someday get a chance to get down to Waterton, especially to see how it looked after the devastating Kenow wildfire that damaged or destroyed so much of the park in 2017. Most of the park is still closed, but the whole town site and Chief Mountain Parkway and area are open. To me, the park looked beautiful, with enough green areas to contrast with the dead trees on the mountain sides. Firefighters did such a brilliant job last year of saving the whole town, and a team of firefighters form Calgary had been given the task of doing all they could to save the historic Prince of Wales Hotel. There it still stands, untouched. One can see how close to the town and iconic Hotel the fire had come - right up to the very edge, where a sprinkler system had been set up before the fire got close.
"Built in 1926-27 during one of Waterton’s windiest and snowiest winters, the Prince of Wales Hotel is the park's most recognized landmark.
During its construction the extreme weather conditions and poor access created many problems for contractors Douglas Oland and James Scott, from Cardston, Alberta.
On December 10 1926 hurricane-force winds (estimated at 145 km/hr) blew each of the hotel's wings about 7.5 cm off their foundation. The men managed to winch the sections back in line. Three months later winds reached speeds of over 129 km/hr, again pushing the building off its foundation. This time Oland feared structural damage if they tried to pull back the now fully-framed building so he decided to leave it slightly out of plume.
The hotel is named after Edward, Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VIII, and, like its namesake, it has a colourful history. If its Douglas fir pillars could talk they would tell you a tale of American imagination and money, built with Canadian grit and patience.
Today, many people recognize the Prince of Wales as a railway hotel, but few realize it was built by the Great Northern of United States ... and not the Canadian Pacific.
In February 1993 the Historic Sites and Monuments Board approved the Prince of Wales' designation as a National Historic Site, recognizing its architectural style (rustic design tradition, with peaked roofs, gables, balconies and timber-frame interior that give it an appearance of a giant alpine chalet) and its contribution to tourism in the mountains. On July 23 1995 a commemorative plaque ceremony was held at the hotel." From Parks Canada.

Wild animals, plants and birds were seen. There were plenty of wildflowers, though I suspect we may have been just a little early for many species. I was so pleased to spot a small patch of what I thought might be Mariposa Lilies near the edge of the road that we were driving on. We stopped for me to check and, sure enough, my friends were able to see these unusual flowers for the first time. Chipmunk, Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels, Columbian Ground Squirrels and deer were seen. Not a huge variety of birds, but we were only able to look in such a limited space. It was great, though, to see two distant Sandhill Cranes and a distant Common Loon on her nest.
Apart from the most unpleasant, very strong wind all day both days, we were very lucky with the weather for our two days. No rain, thank goodness. The morning was chilly and so was the night. Yesterday, Tuesday, the temperature got up to 20C on our way home."
Added more light grey and dark blue. Still a lot more to do, and I'll get rid of some of the olive green

I received a comment from a friend that by adding contrast the photo will become more appealing and will gain in depth.
To tell you my friends, lately I have something against post processing, and am not sure how come or why. It must be something on a deeper level - and if you ask me is a temporary thing that I have become such purist :) Feel free to give your opinion about it - is the original one more appealing to you or this one where I added contrast to it?
{{{HUGS}} and wishes for a gorgeous Thursday to all of you's :)

I love happening upon a lovely sunset in a place where it is easy to stop. I took this shot almost a year ago. I had spent the day in beautiful countryside and was on my way home with lots of good shots already taken when I was able to stop and add a lot more.
