We extended our stay in Dublin with a tour to Northern Ireland. Three hours drive north brought us to one of the most stunning scenes I've ever witnessed. No wonder that the location-scouts for "Lord of the Rings" and "Game of Thrones" used this place as a filming location for there fairytale movies.
The 250 year old Beechtrees must have been part of a hedge and due to lack of maintenance grew like they do now.
Downside to the popularity of this place is the large amount of visitors, which makes it almost impossible to take an image without people in it. I admit that in PS I removed one couple and their photographer from this image.
This bucketlist-location was definitely worth a visit.
Enjoy!

A very famous spot for land- and cityscape photographers in the Netherlands is this arrangement of colorful harbour houses in Groningen. But since I'm not from around this image has been on my bucketlist for quite some time. Last weekend we were on our way to Eemshaven and I finally had the opportunity to take this image of Reitdiep. My way: It was a sunny day with lots of clouds. Adding a 10 stop ND filter plus a circular polarisation-filter on top of each other I achieved my long exposure for a smooth water surface plus some motion in the sky. The sun brings out all the bright colors of the Scandinavian-looking houses.
I am contented with the result (although I loved a little more movement in the clouds) but hey....: there should always be reason for improvement.
For the rest..........
Enjoy!

Woke up to this today #uluru #ntaustralia #bucketlist #northernterritory #seeaustralia #ig_australia #australiagram #focusaustralia #australia_oz #exploringaustralia #redcentrent #exploreuluru #ig_discover_australia
This was a highlight of my trip home. It was on my bucketlist while there and we got so lucky !
One was in the window on the east side of the old farmhouse, we hadn't seen them yet and as we neared the house we heard a clatter. When we looked we could see one owl through the east window sitting in the west window (those shots did not turn out) .... so the course of action was to disturb them no further and rather than walk around the house and likely have them fly off, we went back to the road and walked up the road a ways. Thankfully I had my 500mm Sigma. These are the shots on a high sun, very hot afternoon on the prairie in Alberta.
I could have stayed there all day watching them.
Bled was on my bucketlist for a long time.
So we planned a Slovenien vacation with my wife on this summer.
We had a bit unluck with the weather, when we arrived to Bled.
At the first night a huge storm came, and it was raining for 5 days straight. Furthermore, we were camping. We planned to do so many things around Bled but we couldn’t. Most of the time we were just sitting in our tent. It was pretty awful.
On the last day, the storm went away, and we went out to the lake immediately. After the storm it was everything so beautiful.
This story reminds me about life itself. Sometimes we struggle, we keep doing our best, and it seems like there is no result. We have to stay persistent, because sooner or later the storm will go away.
Some coronavirus humor, to keep my spirits up, and maybe yours. Should such humor be called "ventilating?"
If the term "bucket list" is not familiar to you, see:

IF YOU ARE STILL READING, here are three important things to know about my bucket and my bucket list:
1. It is a small bucket. This is because my list is a short one.
2. I do not lock the bucket.
(a) This allows anyone who finds it a chance to add to my list. This is potentially an interesting innovation.
(b) This allows anyone to steal the list if they want. This has the potential to save me time and money that I might devote to a better cause.
3. The bucket is not secured in place, and it is next to a secluded public path. This means that anyone who needs a bucket worse than I do can take it without fear of consequences.
Location: A secluded public path, Riehen BS Switzerland.

April 8, 2024 - Diamond Ring at the Solar Eclipse Totality, as seen and photographed from Trinity Overlook Park in Dallas, Texas, during the Total Solar Eclipse! This was a Bucket List Photo Shoot and Experience for me! The clouds were thick on Eclipse Day, but thank God for answered prayers, as the clouds moved away and gave us an amazing sight with the Total Solar Eclipse totality!

London in England is on the first place of my 2015 must visit list inspired by new friends and my 2009 Big Ben picture.
My absolute bucketlist photo of my recent short visit to Dublin. Can't believe it actually worked out!
Initially I wanted to go on an early-access tour, but was too late with booking it. So I ended up getting an online ticket myself for 08:30 (right at opening time). I got there 30 mins before and was #3 in line. By 08:20, that tour showed up, but had to queue behind me. So missing out on it turned out to be the best thing to happen, as I would've otherwise never had a shot without people in it.

Bucketlist item ticked off....as an adult. Apparently I came here as a child, but I don't remember it!
Amazing structure.
Bucket list to travel to Iceland. I don't think the northern lights are going to show for me, but Iceland has a lot more to offer.
Weer een bucketlist dingetje kunnen afvinken vandaag. Een SGM-2 reed solo in de 5600 vanmorgen. Met zijn 52,20 meter is dit het kortst mogelijke reizigerstreintje in echte NS-kleuren. Deze treinstellen zullen binnen afzienbare tijd het veld moeten ruimen, en in de herfstperiode mogen ze niet solo rijden. Grote kans dus dat dit de laatste keer was dat er op de Veluwelijn een solo SGM-2 te zien was.
Excuus voor de ongebruikelijke bewerking. Door een defect aan mijn Mac moest ik de foto op een ongecalibreerd en slecht scherm omzetten naar JPG.
Het enorme Kasteel van Chambord is een schitterend bouwwerk en voor ons weer een puntje om van de bucketlist af te strepen. Het 16e-eeuwse jachtkasteel, het grootste en meest statige kasteel van de Loirestreek, telt 440 kamers en 365 torens. Om het domein van 5500 hectare groot staat een 32 kilometer lange muur.
Chambord, Frankrijk
The enormous Castle of Chambord is a wonderful building and another item to cross off our bucket list. The 16th-century castle, the largest and most stately castle in the Loire region, has 440 rooms and 365 towers. There is a 32 kilometer long wall surrounding the 5,500 hectare domain.

Eleven years ago today I completed a lifetime dream of owning a book from the seventeen hundreds. I have always been fascinated by history, and more so the idea and thought of people who lived their day to day lives just like we do- so many, many years ago.
When I look at this book I wonder at all the people who have handled or read this book in the last 225 years- who they were, what inspired them, what they were passionate about… I think that is really what drives my Lifetime Dreams these days –connections and experiences.
