To travel to the remote Kimberly region of north west Australia, one of the worlds last frontiers, is an adventure in itself. In the absence of pollution this reflective mangrove scene is filled with intense colors.The rock formation the background is a part of deposits in the Kimberly that may date back to 1.75 billion years ago by major river systems that flowed from north to south across the whole region.
... billions of heat-loving microorganisms called "thermophiles" carpet the spring.

"Still I Rise"
Each struggle is unique to you, but you are not alone.
We all deserve to be loved the right way, and for all the right reasons.
“Instead of saying, "I'm damaged, I'm broken, I have trust issues" say "I'm healing, I'm rediscovering myself, I'm starting over.”

Looking from North Head at the mouth of Sydney Harbour across to South Head and the centre of Sydney, which is to the right of the photo. It is hard to believe it is a winter's day.
In the foreground is part of Sydney Harbour National Park. The area was burnt last year in a hazard reduction burn that got out of control.
North Head was a site for military installations during World War II. Some of these remain but the majority of the headland is bushland. Amazingly, the government who owned the land did not sell it off to be developed.
Sydney Harbour has been described as the jewel in Sydney's crown. I think it is easy to see why.

ONE BILLION RISING 2021: RISING GARDENS CAMPAIGN
1 in 3 women across the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. That’s ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. Every February, we rise – in countries across the world – to show our local communities and the world what one billion looks like and shine a light on the rampant impunity and injustice that survivors most often face. We rise through dance to express joy and community and celebrate the fact that we have not been defeated by this violence. We rise to show we are determined to create a new kind of consciousness – one where violence will be resisted until it is unthinkable.
Thanks Millionaire of the opportunity of having my picture as cover for your awesome group. You are the best!!!

Lofoten is the archipelago to the west in the ocean, north of the Arctic Circle. Located in the northwest of the Norway.
Lofoten is called the pearl of Norway. The beauty of this place is simply staggering.
Its mountains are old, about 3.5 billion years, and have some of the world's oldest rock types.

The monument commemorates the production of the billionth barrel of oil produced in the onshore oil field in Seria, brunei. The monument is located near the the first well discovered in Seria Oil Field. The well was discovered by Brunei Shell Petroleum in 1929. The monument is located 38 meters from the first well, which is now located on the beach.
Kyashi got all excited at the mention of Chinese Ink paintings by Fiona Fei and ran off to Shi Mo Gallery. She found much more and though maybe a bit overdressed, had to join in and be One in a Billion. (it also gave me a chance to work with adding highlights ;) )

I am so incredibly honored, thank you very much to the beautiful Billion Dollar Couple group for choosing this picture as a cover! I've been away for a few days and this was an incredible surprise!!
What does it even mean to be 1.5 billion years old? Carbon dating has confirmed the rocks at Cameron Falls to be Precambrian, at that age. To think of that much time is just mind blowing. Can you imagine finding some kind of fossilized life in the stones? How incredible would that be?!
OMG!!!!
I get early summer Gift again ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

+++BILLION DOLLAR SWAG-CASUAL-+++
Billions want to come to the UK. So, stop the boats! These illegal incomers want to take your job, your second home and one of your cars (at least) and, God forbid, take your daughters from you. They will invade our NHS and their foreign offspring will fill our schools too. Do not listen to Labour, the reds, the trade unions and the churches. Don't read the papers of the liberals and the left - these are loony humanitarian idealists. Beware! Stop the boats, get things done, and off to Rwanda with them!
Millions, perhaps billions, of flowers like this one beautify the Lavender fields around Brihuega year after year during the month of July.
In this macro photo taken at sunset you can see the beautiful chromatic varieties that these aromatic flowers offer.
I hope you enjoy the photo and I wish you a happy Thursday, a lot of patience, a lot of peace and a lot of love!

** I wonder what is the most photographed human structure . The Statue of liberty, Big Ben. Taj Mahal, Chinas Great wall are all possibilities . I suspect the Eiffel Tower in Paris would be very near the top of the list .
Anyway I will add my image of the Tower to the billions of other images of it . Taken from a Bateaux-Mouches on the Seine the bridge in the foreground is the Pont de l’Alma
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

"Still I Rise"
I Rise! Is the heart, soul and foundation of the mass call to action of the One Billion Rising Revolutionary Campaign, founded on February 14, 2012.
"One Billion Rising is the biggest mass action to end violence against women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence) in human history. (The reality that): 1 in 3 women across the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. That’s ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS.

This is dedicated to Betelgeuse. Rumour has it, it exploded and we'll see the evidence one day soon. Or not. In any event? This is for you, most strangely named star who might or might not be gone. Oh and also? Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday.
somewhat surprisingly, there was ten billion dollars worth of gold bullion in there. Time to buy a better camera!
Billion Dollar Baby
Rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel,
Grimy as an alley
Loves me like no other Lover!
"Sometimes the cord likes to break
Sometimes the light tries to bend away
Sometimes you're thrust against the wall
Sometimes the world wants to see you crawl
And you can't decide if it's enough
You can't decide if it's enough
Six billion lives looking for love
You can't decide if it's enough
The end is the same for everyone
Should be enough for us to be as one
Watch me fall apart over you
Watch me fall apart
Tryna please you
And you can't decide if it's enough
You can't decide if it's enough
Six billion lives looking for love
And you can't decide if it's enough"
Milkyway shot taken at Rickhubel in the foothills of the swiss alps. A really nice place to spend the night under the starry sky.
2 shots blended togehter (foreground untracked and background tracked).
Taken with a Canon Eos 7d mark ii and a 15mm F2.8 fisheye lens @ ISO 2000, F 3.5, 90s exposure.
The Oculus in NYC, part of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in Lower Manhattan. Designed by famed Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and located within walking distance of the World Trade Center, the $4 billion building is the most expensive train stop in the world.

Recently we passed by Mono Lake in California. The lake has iconic tufa towers. You can see the Milky Way - it was new moon, there is no light pollution.
The Milky Way is our galaxy. From the latest Hubble telescope observation we learned that there are at least 100 billion galaxies in the universe. We are just tiny tiny creatures in this vast space.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance.

Billions and billions of stars. Well, maybe closer to 100 stick-on foil stars. They have been sitting in my desk drawer for many many years, but they now have an opportunity to shine. This idea came to me immediately upon reading the Stars theme for the week. I tried a few different POV, lighting, and background schemes and came up with a set of four photos that I like. Did I pick the STAR for Macro Mondays? HMM
