As winter begins to fade, I'm finding image potential once more in the roadside puddles and ditches. The melting snow produces standing water which then freezes overnight. Get out early with a tripod and macro lens, and a whole new world of possibilities unfolds.
Here, last year's fallen weeds lie suspended in and under thin ice, overlaid by a million frozen bubbles. An abstract tangle of shapes and textures; a transient moment in an ancient process of death, decay, and rebirth. A minor miracle. A wild moment of imaginative connection that, for me, transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary.
The pano crop was an afterthought. Last spring I started shooting "macro panoramas" - consciously - applying a format usually reserved for landscapes to other subjects. Why not? The standard 2:3 ratio is just fine as a default, but there's no reason we can't push the boundaries of conventionality when other options arise. A panorama seemed just right for this shot.
I added a 1.7x teleconverter to the 105mm macro lens for this, allowing me a little more working distance from my subject. It also meant I didn't have to lean over as far to frame the shot - my back isn't what it used to be, and the less strain I put on it, the better. These roadside ditches are less fascinating if you fall face first into one.

Street art by Antonio Lazarus for the 2022 Brisbane StreetArt Festival at Brookes Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane. This is one of many that line the wall of the Brisbane Exhibition Grounds.
A very long golden hour gave me ample amount of time to walked down to the town, took some pics, came back to this spot and snapped this shot.

🎃Tis the season!!!🎃
This was taken in SL at a dear friend's home...she has the most amazing collection of horror/halloween statues...and of course this is "what my mind saw!!!"
“As if I'd slept a thousand years underwater I wake into a new season. I am the blue lotus rising. I am the cup of dreams and memory opening--I, the thousand-petaled flower. At dawn the sun rises naked and new as a babe; I open myself and am entered by light. This is the joy, the slow awakening into fire as one by one the petals open, as the fingers that held tight the secret unfurl. I let go of the past and release the fragrance of flowers.”

I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets. It has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.

It's hard to believe we're in such a run of cloudless skies and warm sunny days that I forget I was in Skye just before christmas in snow and Ice on the Cuillin ridge. I've had so many wonderful days on Skye in full winter conditions , that I almost expect it. Sun Arise is by Phosphorescent and is perfect for this shot of the sun coming through the cloud sea cloaking the valleys.

“Creativity arises out of the tension between spontaneity and limitations, the latter (like the river banks) forcing the spontaneity into the various forms which are essential to the work of art or poem.”

think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive -to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

For a short while the sun came out and lit up the icy slopes of Chrome Hill. My favorite of a good few shots!
Final three posts from last Sunday
Time for another Nicaraguan sunrise taken from Hacienda Puerta del Cielo, near Masatepe, Nicaragua. Once again we've got the caldera of a supervolcano stretching out in front of you and the smoke of an active volcano rising in the back left. On the right is a picturesque lagoon with an undeveloped coast. This was back in July on my honeymoon.
