Another night another image... Does anything give as much pleasure as NATURE?
From the series 'Celestial delights'. The story behind this image still makes me smile:
The seaside view from the terrace of the 10th floor penthouse where we used to live.
We’d had a very busy day in the studio and after a quick light meal, just sat there unwinding with a nice glass of cool Chardonnay, enjoying the fresh sea air, the nightlight, the sound of the water, when SUDDENLY, a first distant rumble and a flash of lightning.
We bumped each other as we both rushed inside for camera and tripod.
Set it all up, went back to our chairs and wine, and waited.
I saw it moving across the sea, opened my lens and let the camera record this fabulous lightshow of Nature.
With the cable release in one hand, wine in the other, yep, that’s the life, he?
Mind you, this was a one off, there was no rain and no danger, just this awesome spectacle.
Wonderful, great memories.
Thank you, M, (*_*)
PS:it must have been F11 and open for between 1 to 3 min.
It's done by 'feeling', if you get a lot of flashes in the first few seconds, then, you've got your shot, otherwise, you wait and have sip of wine... This here is NOT an 'exact' science, the success depends entirely on the elements!
This was the best out of three. (*_*)

Does it teach us anything?
when we disappear,
in the safety of annonymity
healing thoughts reign
down and down and down
into the deeps...
ballasts of all we don't want to hear
the unknown is so unforgiving
burying all we've been taught
exhuming all we sould know and love
Autumn is the great tantaliser
highlighting the last colours of the year
tempting us, proving ourselves
before we can belief in others
before Season's end,
before we are gone
fortify the nature within you.

Macro Mondays theme "Back In The Day"
For this week theme, “Back In The Day”, the only thing I could think of was the Canadian one cent (also called penny). This currency was discontinued in May 2012, date of the last production. One of the reason was that the production cost was higher than the currency value. Actually 1.6 cent per penny produced. If you want my two cents, this was a good decision!
A Canadian penny measures 0.75” in diameter.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
I couldnt have wished for anything better on todays walk around the valley of Ewden beck...only 9 miles as i have got to work tonight.
This actually started off as a blank canvas and a purple texture. I then started playing with texture combinations and settings in PS, and this is where it all ended up. Perhaps I should have just called it Photoshop Fun!

It only takes a few seconds to change a day., and so it was the day we took this picture
It was very quiet., and with the sun streaming in from the direction of the lake photography was almost impossible because of the glare
Our only option was a sideways shot if anything emerged from the reed bed on either side
Not very likely! time passed., even less likely., but then what was this coming!? You cannot quite believe your eyes., a Bittern., he was heading directly towards us., then veered to our left almost filling the view finder., you could almost reach out and touch him
He was gone in a few seconds., but it only took those few seconds to change that day!

Thanks for taking time to view, faves and comments. Much appreciated
I noticed two people playing an interesting board game (never knew anything about it) inside the Ulugh Beg Madrasa in Registan Square.
On enquiry I could learn that it was Narda. Narda (or Narde) in Uzbekistan is a popular regional variant of long backgammon known locally and culturally as part of the broader family of traditional tables games. It uses a standard backgammon board and 15 checkers per player, but features distinct movement rules and blocking mechanics compared to short backgammon. Narda is widely played in teahouses (chaykhana), parks, and homes across Uzbekistan as a traditional social pastime for older generations and enthusiasts.
It was a variant of Nardshir, a historical Persian boardgame for two players, is sometimes considered ancestral to backgammon.
While backgammon has an ancient lineage, it's not technically the oldest board game. That title likely belongs to the Royal Game of Ur or Senet, an Egyptian board game dating back to around 3100 BCE. However, backgammon holds a unique distinction: it is one of the oldest games still widely played today in a form that closely resembles its ancient versions.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CHILD?
...our factory is prepared for an assault on the senses every nite….. We search the streets for anything we can use for our art , our message, our destiny and our savior..........I am prepared to face authority and condemnation from the new world order,in order to save a child from the streets and ravages of poverty, disease and war, our images are a metaphor for pain and ignorance to a childs plight, the innocence lost, on political corruption, religious vagrants and corporate greed,Army of One may never end war , poverty nor disease thru our grass roots meanderings and art. But we will bring it to the forefront of American Disgrace…….this Cause i have dedicated my rebirth too…….
We who run with the night..............
.We who are given the vision................
We are responsible not to lay down with complacency and mediocrity................
We are the new visionaries........
Our path is clear……Army of One/jc2
join us........
"thank you Diane Arbus for capturing a timely and Frightening image, to inspire artists like us to Fight for Children and try and Topple the War Machine through our art and creative process.............."

Spiny cholla cacti are anything but cuddly, but they soften up a little with their flowers, which can be yellow, chartreuse, pink, red, maroon, or copper. This two-toned variety is rare, in my experience.
Rena won't taste anything so this carefully selected candy is safe.
When I was a little girl my mother would take my older brother and me to the doctor or dentist in Portland, Maine, our close big city. After the appointment we always got to go for ice cream sodas or ice cream sundaes and that's such a happy memory.
So after a great cardiology checkup today I rewarded myself! Thanks, Mom.

BNSF Topeka Sub Fleeting
Over the last few days, the BNSF has rediscovered the ability to run westbounds down the Topeka Sub, thanks to MOW windows on the Emporia Sub. Combine that with my complete lack of anything on the calendar, and I've been able to get out to shoot a number of them. I'd love for these to continue, but I know that it's short-lived. Regardless, you've gotta shoot it while you can!
Here, the BNSF 608 hustles a westbound manifest down the line at Herschell Rd., between Tecumseh and Lecompton, KS.

From the 1989 hit movie "Say Anything" Celentity is bringing you this famous pose and scene! Look for it at an event coming soon!
Celentity - "Say Anything" Pose, Boombox, and Car Prop
Love I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
The grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)
