Lovely scene is not necessarily to be at the iconic tourist areas but sometime you found it along countryside when seen from a fast going bus. Although chance to capture a very good shot is very difficult as it just usually blinks to my eyes, worth to give a try with your camera handy with preset settings. Hope you like this.

The scene was seen along the highway in Morocco and captured.

The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.

Scene seen along the driving from Fox Glacier to Queenstown

These were cow elk seen in Fenland Trail . It is an easy going, very level and well maintained walking trail in the Village of Banff, Alberta, Canada in the Banff National Park. Fenland is a nature trail and picnic area destination located in a wetland environment called a fen. A fen is a wetland marsh feed primarily by groundwater. It is a natural sanctuary for plants to thrive like sedges, moss and cat tails; trees like aspen, white spruce and poplar and wildlife like birds, elk and deer.

The Moeraki Boulders are unusually large and spherical boulders lying along a stretch of Koekohe Beach on the wave-cut Otago coast of New Zealand between Moeraki and Hampden. They occur scattered either as isolated or clusters of boulders within a stretch of beach where they have been protected in a scientific reserve. The erosion by wave action of mudstone, comprising local bedrock and landslides, frequently exposes embedded isolated boulders. These boulders are grey-colored septarian concretions, which have been exhumed from the mudstone enclosing them and concentrated on the beach by coastal erosion.

I purposely converted this boulder into B/W that could reveal its texture in a different way than color image.

The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African member of the roller (or Coraciidae) family of birds. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, and is a vagrant to the southern Arabian Peninsula. I took this image at The National Aviary, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The National Aviary, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the only independent indoor nonprofit aviary in the United States. It is also the country's largest aviary, and the only one accorded honorary "National" status by the United States Congress.

The aviary is home to over 600 birds representing more than 200 species, and is a member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).

The Bled island - A challenge for your eye and your body awaits you on the island where a temple of the ancient Slavic goddess of love Živa used to stand in the location of today's glorious Gothic church. This image was captured from the Castle while the sun was down to a very low angle so that the lighting condition was also very poor. However, I do like the mood of this photo.

The Mount usu Eruption Memorial park is a nice stretch of grassland on the south western coast of Lake Toya. It serves as an art park with some fantastic sculptures, plus it also has some information about the Mt Usu eruption, which still shows signs of a fault line that runs through the park. Mt. Usu, which lies a few kilometers to the south is a stratovolcano that has erupted four times since 1900

The park is a wonderful spot to stroll around, look at the sculptures, take in the gorgeous views of the lake and get some photos. There are about half a dozen sculptures in the park, starting with the carvings of three lionesses, that mark the entrance and the parking area. At the western point of the park , there is a tiny forested outcrop called ‘Chinko Island’ which has a small path running through it. The water around this area is crystal clear

Pupilas adornadas de luz y oro, que atardece en el alba como caricia temprana,

Asomados suspiros de navegantes con sus barcas cruzando la bahía, te despierto

Noche…, te asomo … día, te beso el color dorado del fulgor en mi poesía.

Olor a mar, caricias de brisa cantada por gaviotas que adornan el cielo, acaricio tu alma y tu pelo sin fugarme de tu día; Alba que atardece, nombre de mujer que se estremece.

Confundo el brillo del mar con el espejo del cielo, en sus aguas doradas tranquilas y en puerto, te venero… y aliento que me llevo, oro con sabor a mar acarician tus ojos. ALBA

Pupils decorated with light and gold, in the dawn twilight falls as early caress,

I leaning sighs of sailors in their boats across the bay, you awake

Night ... you shot ... day I kiss the golden glare on my poetry.

Smell of sea breeze caresses sung by seagulls adorn the sky, caress your soul and your hair not run away from your day; Alba twilight falls, name of woman who shudders.

Confused sea shine sky with mirror in its calm waters and golden port, you revere ... and breath that I take, gold flavored sea caress your eyes. ALBA

RAJA AMPAT encompasses more than 40,000 km² of land and sea, which also contains Cenderawasih Bay, the largest marine national park in Indonesia. It is a part of the newly named West Papua province of Indonesia which was formerly Irian Jaya. Some of the islands are the most northern pieces of land in the Australian continent.

Raja Ampat is considered the global epicenter of tropical marine bio-diversity and is referred to as The Crown Jewel of the Bird's Head Seascape, which also includes Cenderawasih Bay and Triton Bay.

Photography and Ai bring it all together in this remake of an "American Gothic" classic painting of a farmer and his wife during the great depression of 1930. A will to work hard and persevere.

The American dream, what happened?

Andy and I went around with the guys from BlackRapid and MadPants Studios to shoot some video for Lightenupandshoot. We had run across this older dude named Mark several times on our trip in Seattle. We had discussed how cool it would be to take his photo and after talking to him for a bit, Mark was up for a shoot.

The light set up is extremely simple. We placed a 28" Apollo softbox directly above Mark and slightly feathered the box away from the wall. We wanted very little fall off on the wall so that Mark would really pop. Most people will have some hideous shadows under their eyes and nose, but for Mark this technique works perfect. You can see all the textures in his face.

Yes, it is a Public Primary School Saint-Thomas, Strasbourg, France.

This school was built on the former Palais de la Monnaie in the years 1905 to 1907 in the Alsatian neo-renaissance style with its scrolled gables and turrets at the ends. He reuses an old oriel window from the Renaissance for the Concierge apartments. The building deserves to be able to be visited. The architect had not made fun of the children who were to attend him (of whom I was in the 60s). Sculptures, ironwork, small columns around a monumental, light staircase are only a hymn to beauty. Failing to enter it, look in the courtyard for the well, the columns under the courtyard, inclusions in the walls of the old Palais de la Monnaie. Look for medallions and macaroons on the facade, cartridges on the facades, lion heads around the gutters ...
