Byroad between lime forest and oakery on one of the hills of the Central Russian upland in Moscow oblast south of Pushchino

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 🎄✨🎅

Aialik Glacier, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska

. . . one of the great cities of America. . .

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!

Storm clouds approaching Hunstanton.

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

A canal boat progressing up the River Avon towards Stratford.

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

Amtrak’s California Zephyr glides eastbound along the Colorado River through Little Gore Canyon approaching Tunnel 40 west of Azure, Colorado, on August 21, 2014.

Thankfully, I'm back in Morocco again.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

The Flying Scotsman approaching Goathland on the North York Moors. It was a day of dancing with the light as dark clouds kept blocking all the sun.

the asphalt is cracked. a white line, old and broken, divides the ground. a bird lands. or perhaps it takes flight. its shadow is a dark stain, a fast-moving second. the light is hard. the moment is simple. then the bird is gone.
