Out with Ezra

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!

Approaching

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

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

While I was happy with my previous shot here, I must say the better weather conditions this time are a marked improvement. This empty grain pretty much follows the course of the Yakima River, seen here rolling through a double horseshoe curve as they approach Thorpe. This would be the only train I would see n this line but it was well worth my time.

Approaching Hokkaido's southern coast shortly after sunset, seen on a domestic flight from Nagoya to Sapporo.

Southern Pacific 9107 East is a mile west of the siding at Mott, about four miles east of Dunsmuir in the Sacramento River Canyon of northern California.

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.

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.

Thankfully, I'm back in Morocco again.

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

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

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

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.

On UP's Shoreline Sub, Sheboygan coal empties very slowly approach the bridge over WSOR trackage at Havenwoods on the far north side of Milwaukee while the setting sun turns low clouds bright pink. The signal here, at N 64th St, is approach-lit, and in fact didn't even light (on this side) until just after the power had passed.

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 :)

I knew I missed the viewing of the sky, clouds and storms but I never knew how much I missed them until I return. I hope to capture more of the wide open spaces of the prairies and mountains and the wide open sky in the very near future.

HST Castle set comprising of power cars 43094 leading and 43188 approach Bristol Temple Meads with the 2C99 1900 Cardiff to Plymouth. Already these services are being replaced by Hitachi 5 car sets.

Don't take them for granted and get your shots while you can.
