a fresh frozen puddle on the lid of my compost barrel. :-)

Some more photos will follow within the next few days.

Festively decorated chancel of St. Ludwig, Munich. The romanesque church was built between 1829 and 1844 and has the second largest altarpiece fresco in the world.

I captured this on a very dull day with little light inside the church but ugly haze coming in through the windows, so I had a hard time to get something reasonably usable from post-processing. To top it all off, the shadow of an inattentive photographer disturbs the scene 😄

Panorama stitched from 6 individual HDR images.

Zoom in to enjoy the beautiful details including the super-defined starbursts on the Christmas trees (thanks to my beloved Laowa lens) 😊

Wishing you a peaceful merry Christmas 🎄✨🎅

Another image from my visit with the anemones and the bees...this is a two image composite..one was a 9 image in camera multiple exposure blended with a single image with the flower and bee in focus. The images were done with a long zoom length-400mm which can make for some nice soft backgrounds. If there are no birds...there is always something else to shoot...LOL!

Smaller image due to camera's limitations at high image sizes.

Storm clouds approaching Hunstanton.

A red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) photographed at Aigas in the Scottish Highlands

Constance, Lake Constance, Germany

Black Butte capturing an approaching winter storm in late afternoon light.

Some alpine drama over Mont Blanc

Fuji X-E2 (and I got home in time). A kind of twilight that I find fascinating.

Next I will share with you a little photo diary of my travel adventure in 1983. I went on this journey together with a friend and we had nothing as our backpacks and a little guide book, i had my analogue Nikon FE and three Nikkor lenses and some 35mm slide film rolls.

I took this photo in 1983 through the window of the aircraft before landing in Medan, Sumatra (Indonesia).

I scanned my slide material with a 35mm film scanner Nikon Coolscan LS 40 ED

Part of the walk from our campsite just outside Coniston into the village for an evening in the pub, all along footpaths for about a mile.

A bee approaching some wild flowers to get some nectar.

Bombus impatiens. Hosta flower.

Mid-morning - open shade.

After the grain train clears the block at MP 132, the signal displays "approach medium". This is one of the unique features that will disappear when the new signal system is cut over.

In the high cascades of Western Oregon, fall is approaching. It comes early to these high elevations. :) Mt. Washington in the background.

2410 heads away from Mamboo towards Alpha with the west bound Spirit of the Outback as PW57 from Brisbane to Longreach.

Thankfully, I'm back in Morocco again.

This was a pretty awesome sight to see, the sun's rays across the sky as the storm clouds approach via www.playeattravel.com/

From a walk in the area at Stubbergaard Lake and monestary near Vinderuo, Denmark - April 30, 2021.

This is from a walk on the "bog path" - a 1.7 km boardwalk through the swampy area at the northern end of the lake.

An archive shot taken at Stumble LIghthouse a few years ago. There was the most dramatic sky with rain squalls and sun - never seen it like that there since! Happy New Year to all my Flickr friends. Can't believe another new year will be starting tomorrow! Wishing you all well for 2025

Approaching Thunderstorm, confluence Mamquam River and Massiter Creek, near Squamish, British Columbia, Canada

iridescent fly

Thunderheads loom over the prairie as the afternoon heat hits its peak.

I was photographing Bobolinks when I turned around and saw these clouds rapidly growing in size. I'm always impressed with how high these massive storm clouds extend into the atmosphere.

I love the iPad 2....but the resolution is just not there. Cottonwood tree and snow storm on the way.

this is the view as one approaches the Panorama Point (highest point) of Matheran. Its a long walk from the market though....:D

I made my wife walk all those kms....belive me its worth it :)

BLOL 7591 leading a cut of grain cars bound for Anchor, IL.

approach

An RAF BAe 146 of 32 Squadron comes in on final approach at RAF Northolt.

We saw Ronda in the distance from a long way out, glistening against against a brooding sky, which promised rain but failed to deliver.
