I had two things going for me. The full moon allowed me to get enough ambient light on the water, the rocks and the sculpture, "Spirit of the Sea". In these situations I don't even bother with autofocus (just zone focus and concentrate on framing and exposure time). The ship has slowed a little, but is still moving surprisingly fast into the channel. The second thing was that the ship would be relatively close to shore.
It was the perfect opportunity to capture the movement of the ship in the relatively short LE. I would have needed to put the ISO up to very high levels if I wished to freeze it entirely. But I was more interested in the light, especially that reflected moonlight on the water, and a shorter shutter speed would have made the sculpture and rocks less naturally visible.
The sculpture can be seen on the far left hand side. And it has quite a controversial story. From a distance it almost looks like an aboriginal warrior threatening the incoming ships with a spear. In fact it represents Neptune with his trident. It was designed by Aden and Karena McLeod and unveiled in 2009. But not before plenty of protests by locals over the nudity (yes this is Devonport) and the fact it was deemed culturally inappropriate. The bitterness was such the sculptors left the state and did not attend the opening. publicartaroundtheworld.com/public-art-in-australia/publi...

Opened 4-Mar-1890, it`s the second largest single cantilever bridge in the world at 520 mtr`s. It is 8,094 ft (2476 mtrs) long and 110 mtr high. With a clearance of 46 mtr to high water, it is too low to allow our cruise ship to pass under.

The Tasman Bridge is one of the most famous in Australia's history. It links the eastern shore with the main city of Hobart. Before it was built an old rickety bridge (that needed to be lifted to allow passing ships) and ferries were the only way to make the crossing, so fewer people chose to live on that side of the Derwent. But after the bridge was opened in 1964, the whole eastern shore began to grow rapidly. The bridge was built between 1960-64 of Prestressed Concrete design. It is 1,396 metres long and has a maximum height of 60.5 metres.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasman_Bridge:
But the fame of this bridge lies in something that happened one fateful night on January 5, 1975. At exactly 9.27pm on a drizzly misty night, the bulk ore carrier Lake Illawarra, fully loaded with over 9,000 metric tonnes of zinc concentrate ploughed into a pylon. In the resulting shock, two pylons collapsed immediately and a whole section of the bridge fell away. The ship went to the bottom of the deep water and was followed by several cars. 12 people lost their lives that night. Two cars hung precipitously over the edge of the abyss and that image remains a lasting legacy of the disaster. www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-05/memory-of-tasman-bridge-co...
The bridge took two years to rebuild with improved safety measures and reopened to the great relief of Hobart citizens on 8 October 1977.
Incredible footage of the disaster with interviews.
before the bay of palma awakens, the day murmurs its arrival through the whispers of dawn. clouds part like curtains unveiling a stage, rays of light cascade, each a gentle touch on the slumbering sea. the silhouette of the distant mountains stands as the eternal audience, witnessing the slow brightening of the world. it’s a serene symphony where each element plays its part in harmony, the sea reflecting the sky’s moody hues, the land a dark contrast to the awakening sky. in this quiet hour, time pauses, allowing the earth to inhale the promise of a new day, a subtle interlude before life resumes its pace.
Throughout history, female nudes have been used in cemetery/memorial art. For a deeper examination, visit northstargallery.com/pages/Sensualilty.htm
Many images in this set were taken inside Forest Lawn Memorial Park's (California, USA) Great Mausoleum.
The general public is not allowed to enjoy these and many other works of art in the Great Mausoleum. Entry is granted only to those able to afford the high price of admission and their living family members.
Why?
I turned the door handle of the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California, USA and as the heavy door opened, I entered another world.
The massive, cathedral-like structure houses not only the remains of thousands able to afford the lofty ticket price for admission, it houses beautiful works of art. Sculptures, stained glass windows and ceilings, elegant marble throughout and massive architecture...all are off limits to the general public.
I didn't know at the time I turned that door knob, that Forest Lawn is consumed about keeping this structure and its contents strictly away from public view. I was simply a guy trying to take photos I like who quickly realized the challenges posed in this setting. I was simply on quest that began at the cemetery where my Mom and brother were buried almost twenty years ago.
One can attend a viewing of a stained glass window, The Last Supper, but, I've since returned (hoping to share with my family the splendor within) asking to enter the mausoleum. We were turned away. Forest Lawn's policy strictly prohibits entry to the general public.
Why? One would think that Forest Lawn (and its founder Mr. Eaton and its longtime and current President and CEO, John Llewellyn, would want to share with the wider world, the beauty contained within given the frequent ugliness which hits us in daily life...providing a form of comfort which is their business.
Forest Lawn loves attention but only on their terms. It thrives being known as the Disneyland of death services (and I mean that in the most respectful way ...after all, Walt Disney himself chose Forest Lawn) and hundreds of the famous and infamous call Forest Lawn home.
It is obvious Forest Lawn takes its mission seriously and provides a needed service exhibiting the highest levels of excellence from its impeccable grounds, to fine facilities and attentive staff.
Forest Lawn's theatrical stagings for adults and school children, its public art, museum and grounds filled with celebrities and movers and shakers, convey a seemingly mixed message when it comes to excluding the public from the massive amounts of great art held within the Great Mausoleum.
Why the exclusion? Staffing its maze of halls isn't a concern; staff members are everywhere throughout the park. Security? Sure it's in a bad neighborhood. But, as I wandered unknowingly in this remarkable place from which I was supposed to be excluded, I never saw graffiti...even in the restroom.
In fact, I never saw another soul (sorry, no pun intended). And, that, to me, is sad.
As I wandered, I was challenged by low light, by my impulse to rush my hand held shots since I had a vague gut feeling I was alone, but not; that someone was about to find me taking photos in a place where I was the forbidden invader...the only one...alive...appreciating fine art. Certainly, those entombed can not enjoy it.
Mr. Llewellyn, please open the doors to the Great Mausoleum for the public and the profound and positive impact its will have on us.
Mr. Llewellyn, I extend this offer:
if you have looked at my photos and they have spoken to you, please contact me. I will offer my photographic services to Forest Lawn to use in ways upon which we can agree.
The possibilities are limitless:
I can photographically catalog all of Forest Lawn's art at all its properties; the images could be published in many forms...books, dvd sets, and more; guided tours; respectful events built around the art and the images; museum exhibits.
Again, the possibilities are limitless and all can be accomplished in good taste equal to your mission statement and still be respectful of your residents and their families and, serve to educate and benefit the larger public.
Thank you,

A BIT OF BACKGROUND:
Many years ago after burying my mother and brother within days of the other, I was wandering their cemetery pondering and was intrigued by the statues I saw.
I was taken by the artist's talent in being able to capture the female form (since that was all the cemetery had). The sculptor's manipulation of the viewer's perceptions...cloth and how it draped, creating muscle tone, emotions displayed in facial expressions, all created from stone, piqued my interest.
I began an informal quest to research and find as many sculptures and to photograph them which overwhelmingly depicted the female nude (or partially so) in the cemetery/memorial setting.
As my cemetery visits grew, I began to realize that many of the sculptures seemingly evoked a sensuality in this form of memorial art.
Here, then, is my photos...a project in evolution...the female form as portrayed in an often sensual manner in memorial art.
I start a new set at Flickr a very lengthy series Ajmer Urus 2009 , 3 cards of 4 GB each.. shot in two days , I had a 16 GB card too, but I did not use it, the reason being photography is totally banned within the precincts of the Dargah..
Permission is given on the whims of the Dargah authorities..the criteria of color is important ..racism exists in Holy Places too..
I applied for permission, presented my Press Card , my Pan Card two photographs, but as you see I dont look like a photographer so it was turned down as the Dargah authorities give permission to a white man first, the Indian photographer is deemed a terrorist according to the mind set of the people in charge..dogs and Indian photographers are not allowed at the Ajmer Sharif Urus..
My Belgian photographer friend was lucky enough to get the permission.
I have continuously stayed at the house of Peersaab Fakhru Miya Hujra no 6 my host, benefactor and patron every trip that I made to Ajmer Urus from 2005 to 2009, ..and I have shot Ajmer with the sincerity of my soul and Ajmer is my pictorial gospel, of the Message of Peace as expounded in love and brotherhood by the Holy Saint Khwajah Gharib Nawaz Moinuddin Chishty Al Sabri.
I call this Tablike Khwajah Gharib Nawaz..his message of humanity, this is the only Shrine that has millions of pilgrims from all over the world..no bar on caste color or community ..Hindus throng to seek the Holy Saints blessings you ask for a single wish he extends it to your unborn child too, such is the bounty of the Khwajah Gharib Nawaz.
I am not an adherent of Sufism,but I am touched by the Holy Saint who beckons me year after year, I am going through very bad times in my business this trip was not happening, but he pulled me across ..I shot for two days that made a moment seem like a life time.
I hold no grudge towards the Dargah authorities , but I would like to display my inner hurt publicly so one can read in black and white, as in some cases Indian photographers are allowed at the Dargah with cameras and arc lights only if Katrina Kaif comes in as she generates the hoopla for commercialism in spirituality.
This is Truth as I see it..and it should hurt those whom the cap fits..
81669 pictures at display on my Flickr photostream, of all religions I have shot , is my testimony as a blogger showing you a world within the narrow corridors of another world.
This year I shot the Hijras . I shot the Malangs at the graveyards of Char Yar, I shot the Bawas of Char Yar.,.I shot the gemstone markets, the beggars, Dhai Din Ka Jhopda, and on the last day shot a Mehfil on the eve of Chatti on the terrace of the house of my host Peersaab Fakhru Miya Hujra No 6 one of the specil spontaneous events was the Whirring Dervesh of Ajmer a sight you normally dont see in public but at privately..
I had traveled barefeet and remained barefeet till I reached Mumbai this morning at 7 am..my feet bled , I could barely walk, but I knew I would overcome the frailty of my flesh.I removed shards off glass in the evening from my tortured feet, and I did not carry my diabetic medicine or my insulin syringe at Ajmer , I felt if I come to a Spiritual Healer like Khwajah Gharib Nawaz why must I carry medicines , his love and affection protected me at all times.
I have a vardan of Hijras they cross my path at all times ..I must mention this significant detail..
I was boarding the train for Ajmer I was accosted by Hijras of Gharib Nagar Bandra ..and when I got off at Bandra Terminus I met hijras from Bombasy Central, who touched my feet and asked me to bless them..
Metaverse
it is not religion
But a racist system that
I curse .
wounds on my soul
an inner angst I nurse
humility the only currency
to reimburse
spirituality sometimes
is bartered for a purse

Tiger whiptails, Cnemidophorus (or Aspidoscelis) tigris, have an enormous geographic range, from Idaho through the Baja Peninsula and from California to western Colorado. This species is called the tiger whiptail because it has light longitudinal stripes along its body. Tiger whiptails occupy the Sonoran, Mojave, and Great Basin Deserts, grasslands, sagebrush prairies and pinyon-juniper woodlands. Adaptations to these varied environments have produced notable differences justifying numerous subspecies.
The subspecies C. tigris septentrionalis occupies the entire Colorado Plateau, including the western edge of Colorado. Five other mainland subspecies and three subspecies on islands near Baja have been recognized to acknowledge geographic variation in color pattern, reproduction and annual patterns of activity.

To look people in the eye you can understand what they say even without the words ... allows you to capture dreams, wounds, their own past and future ..
And the impossibility of a gesture so simple that makes you understand the meaning eyes taking in a speech…
so their role is even most important and deep than words' one.
Guardare le persone negli occhi ci fa capire quello che dicono anche senza le parole ...
ci permette di catturare i sogni, le ferite, il loro passato ed il futuro ..
ed è l'impossibilità di un gesto così semplice che ti fa capire il significato che assumono gli occhi in un discorso…
Così il loro ruolo diviene ancora più importante e profondo delle parole.

Margam Abbey now consists of the intact nave and impressive surrounding ruins. Those ruins not belonging to the church are now owned by the County Council. These remains, including the unusually large twelve-sided chapter house, dating from the 13th century, stand within 840 acre (3.4 km²) Margam Country Park, close to Margam Castle. The Abbey church of St Mary, the ruined Chapter House and the Abbey undercroft are all Grade I listed buildings.[3][4][5]
On a hill overlooking the abbey stand the ruins of an outlying monastery building, Capel Mair ar y Bryn ("the chapel of St Mary on the hill"). The purpose of this building is thought to have been to allow members of the monastic community who were engaged in the keeping of flocks to fulfil their devotional obligations without having to return to the main church.
A second shot was available after the train came to a stand to allow 'The Barton Flyer' to head towards Grimsby. With the shadows approaching the penultimate DB empty ores await to head towards Immingham. 4th June 2016.
My little green buddy didn’t allow me to get close on this occasion, but he had little interest in me and was more involved with trying to attract a mate. This guy was perched high over Horsepen and calling his little heart out. They are not difficult to find when they are trying to attract a mate. You will notice that the lores have changed from the usual yellow tones to the deep blue that this one is sporting. Not as close as I would like in this shot, but he wasn’t very cooperative. The legs also have a bit of a red tint to them. The red on the neck also turns a much deeper and darker red.

Though it's clearly Chilly Autumn, Nature still allows Field Bindweed, Convolvulus arvensis, to tangle around along the ancient pilgrimage way down the Meuse River from Venlo to Genooi. Contemplating on the little Chapel there devoted to Our Lady, I could not but be reminded of the White Lilly, her particular flower. And seeing Convolvulus, I thought of great Pliny the Elder's (23-79) aside in his Natural History's discussion of Lilium candidum, Madonna Lily. That great naturalist remarks on Convolvulus's likeness to Lily except for its scent and the Lily's yellow stamens; and he concludes that Nature must've practiced on Convolvulus to perfect her Lillian Skill. An honor indeed for our humble Convolvulus, most often white but here no doubt blushing with pleasure at Pliny's word!
PS Scholars have said that Pliny's Bindweed was Convolvulus saepium and not arvensis; the difference though is not all that great...
The Auto Trailer was a passenger coach with controls allowing the train to be driven with a locomotive pushing it from the rear.
Scenes like this one inspire a deep (and sometimes much needed!) sense of quiet and peace within me. The Smokies seem to have that effect on me perhaps more than any place I've traveled to. No matter how many times I go back, I seem to stumble upon images like this that just draw me in.
This view is from one of my favorite spots to see sunsets in the Smokies: Bunches Bald Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway (about 9.6 miles east of the intersection of 441 and the Blue Ridge Parkway).
Have a great holiday season,

We’ve had a few days this winter with the right conditions to create a certain kind of magic. Cold temperatures and calm air allows the creation of soap bubbles that quickly freeze into solid orbs of frost. During the freezing process, they become something magical. View large!
Last night I spent a few hours experimenting with these. Some complex lighting was done from behind, using a narrow-beam flashlight and a Fresnel lens to place the light exactly where I wanted it. The bubble was blown just above this location and gently placed on the snow. Most of the time, bubbles will burst on impact unless you use a more hardy formula in their creation. The recipe used is:
6 parts water
2 parts liquid dish soap
1 part white corn syrup
It’s the corn syrup that thickens the bubble solution to withstand impact with the snow. It doesn’t work all the time, but when a snowflake lands intact, the game is on.
Freezing usually starts quickly, and there are two different scenarios you’re likely to encounter:
Warm bubble liquid: You can prolong the time you have to get the camera in the proper location by heating up the bubble solution in the microwave. This can give you a few extra much-needed seconds to get everything aligned, and it creates stable growth. In this scenario, the bubble will start to grow frost from the point of contact with the snow, and usually somewhere near the top of the bubble. These frost fronds will continue to grow until they reach, closing in the bubble.
Cold bubble fluid: If you’re using cold bubble fluid, right near the freezing point, you’re in for a show. Particles from your breath that are pushed inside the bubble will collide with the wall of the bubble, sometimes freezing on impact and creating nucleation points for frost. These swirl and grow around the freezing sphere almost like snowflakes, eventually freezing together. That’s what you’re seeing here. The freezing process usually has already begun by the time the snowflake has landed, and very little time is available to get the camera to the proper angle and focus point.
Like my snowflake images, this was shot entirely handheld. Speed is very important for such subjects, and a tripod only gets in the way. The entire bubble is frozen solid in a matter of seconds.
It’s amazing what falls from the sky, created by the randomness and beauty of nature… but it’s astounding what the right ingredients in the right order can create with the intent of creating something beautiful here on earth.
If you’d like to see more of my work with snowflakes, check out my book Sky Crystals (304pg hardcover) here: skycrystals.ca/book/ or my “The Snowflake” print, which embodies the beauty of sky-borne crystals in a way never before seen: skycrystals.ca/poster/
Chichen Itza: Mayan ruins in Yucatan Mexico more... are the most visited Mayan ruins on the peninsula. Eighteen structures have been restored over the years. Pyramid Kukulcan is the tallest of them and allows a view from the top of all Chichen Itza. During the Spring and Fall equinoxes, (March 21 & Sept 21) the setting sun creates shadows down the steps of the pyramid that resemble a snake descending. This is a popular event to see and usually draws big crowds.

The student protests very nearly defeated the coalition less than six months into its rule. MPs voted by 323 to 302 to allow fees to rise to up to £9,000 a year. A coalition majority of 80 fell to 21.
Tens of thousands protested in London on Thursday, and thousands elsewhere. This is not the end, but the beginning of a new phase of revolt.
Students, their parents and many workers will feel a deeper anger now.

If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
I feel lighter than I have in so much time
I've crossed the border line of weightless
One deep breath out from the sky
I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm
All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world
And though I burn how could I fall?
When I am lifted by every word you say to me
If anything could fall at all, it's the world
That falls away from me
You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea
While you're as heavy as the world
That you hold your hands beneath
Once I had wondered what was holdin' up the ground
But I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down
Leave it now, I am sky-bound
If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me
We'll float away, but if we fall
I only pray, don't fall away from me
I do not have wings, love, I never will
Soarin' over a world you are carryin'
If these heights should bring my fall
Let me be your own
Icarian carrion
If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
If I should fall, on that day
I only pray, don't fall away from me

I just moved into a new apartment. Not the one pictured, but one with a lot of white walls, and a policy that doesn't allow pets! How am I suppose to fulfill my destiny of being a crazy cat man?
Lately I have been feeling trapped, or restricted by the walls I put up. When I feel this way I have to remind myself that I can change the way I think. I can be hopeful, and determined. Rather than pitiful, and gloomy, which leads to stress eating chocolate bars! I've learned that whatever it is I may be struggling with, to not be afraid to call for help.
Just about keeping up with the 365 challenge - day 28 :-)
I really like the Orange and Teal effect - the lighting from the sign and the window allowed it to happen.

Our 12375 Chennai Central-Asansol Express arrived at Krishna Canal Junction (KCC) before time, and waited for at least two hours here letting one train after another overtake us. We could finally arrive Vijayawada around an hour late.
But the wonderful atmosphere at KCC allowed me the chance to take some mesmerising photographs like this one here.
