from my garden...
Sadly these beautiful flowers don't last long and if we get a heavy rain, they fall...
All the perfections of created things are also in God; and therefore He is at once Father and Mother. As Father He stands in solitary might surrounded by darkness. As Mother His shining is diffused, embracing all His creatures with merciful tenderness and light. The Diffuse Shining of God is Hagia Sophia. We call her His “glory.” In Sophia His power is experienced only as mercy and as love.

We got to enjoy this lovely rainbow just before a strong wind/rain storm moved in & knocked out our electricity for a couple of hours.
Yes, this is the Columbia River Gorge, no, its not a fire shot, or an after the fire shot. We were out in the Gorge the minute they opened I-84. It was actually still very much on fire when we were there. The damage was evident, it seems the hikers who go back into the Gorge will be most effected, back there its all just gone. Near the road they did a good job maintaining a lot of the green. They intentionally set a lot of back fires to burn up the fuel but maintain the tree story above. That means it should grow back fast. The Mayor of Hood River was on the radio up here begging people not to stay away. He said the best way to help is to come spend money at the small towns up and down the Gorge as soon as you can get in there safely. He made a great point. He said there will new trails, and new views, for new experiences. Yes, it will be different, but not destroyed. Guess there is some merit to that optimistic view.
We certainly. The view in this picture should be largely unchanged for everyone after the fire. I wanted to post this image to share that with all of the non-Portland folks who share a love for this fantastic resource.

A few moments after this shot was taken, all this golden sea disappeared...
Please, consider also viewing some of my most interesting shots according to Flickr!
A northbound Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac intermodal train approaches the intermodal facility at Potomac Yard. The Washington Monument is on the center horizon, while the U.S. capitol is on the right. Potomac Yard, once the gateway to the South, has since been eliminated, with the entire area full of condos.
A vintage lighthouse on a vintage medium. I'm still smitten with film. Finally developed this roll from early June 2021 and was happy to find a 'Calm Before the Storm' series.

Maybe she appears
Ready to lay down and sleep
Please don't believe your eyes
She has a storm in her chest
It brews in silence
And those who know her
Call her wild card
For she is most calm
Before the storm...

... before the photographer got hit by the tram. Don't risk your life for a couple of leading lines :)
The picture was taken early in the morning at 6:00 am before the sunrise in the Little Karoo. The Little Karoo is a semi-desert landscape in the plateaus of South Africa. The summers are very hot here and very cold in winter. This region is known for its ostrich breeding.

Before sunrise in the moor it was extremely cold
Thank you for visiting and commenting!
Golden hour photography uses the soft, warm, diffused light just after sunrise or before sunset, creating a magical, flattering glow with long shadows and rich red/gold tones due to the low sun angle filtering light through more atmosphere.
It's ideal for portraits and landscapes, adding depth and a dreamy quality.
Not quite the same in black and white.
Shooting in black and white during the golden hour
shifts focus from warm colours to light, shadow, texture, and mood, creating dramatic, high-contrast images with long shadows and ethereal light, emphasising form and emotion over hue, and often revealing timeless, classic compositions.

Taken in early September 2019 on the North Norfolk coast. Just before a heavy storm. I have posted coloured versions but I am trying out landscapes in black and white. When I can get out and about more, I intend to take just in black and white for a while.
Another view taken a short while before my sunrise capture,uploaded yesterday.
