Back, by popular demand. It's the Crystal Mill. Several people have asked me to post another shot of this place. So, here it is. It's right next to the ghost town of Crystal, which is just eleven miles from to the middle of nowhere.
Crystal Cave is a cave located in Wisconsin’s Pierce County, near the Town of Spring Valley on Highway 29. The cave was discovered in 1881 by local brothers George and William Vanasse. Crystal Cave is a multi-level solutional cave formed in dolomite bedrock in the Prairie du Chien Group. Wikipedia
Stalactites hang from the ceiling of a cave while stalagmites grow from the cave floor.

I am never fond of Christmas partially because I have no family around me to celebrate...yet I'd like to have a crystal wish with multiple reflections and depth...:)
Isles of Scilly - I've not been able to find much about these online but it appears they are uncommon in UK waters. Seen while snorkelling with seals.
There is no shortage of things to find at the market. I liked the way this stall of crystal candle holders and ornaments caught the morning light.
As for the balls on the left, I found these in a gift shop a little while back at the Botanical Gardens.
I thought they made a perfect pair!
Since the MacroMonday "crystal(s)" challenge the Tommy James & the Shondells 1968 song has been going through my head! I took a moment to look the song up .... Contrary to what many believe, the song has nothing to do with the 1960s drug culture. Here's what Tommy James said about the song in 1985: "I took the title from the Book of Revelations in the Bible, reading about the New Jerusalem. The words jumped out at me, and they're not together; they're spread out over three or four verses. But it seemed to go together, it's my favorite of all my songs and one of our most requested."
My "crystal blue" was made by adding some blue food colouring to some sea salt crystals.
In case you want to sing along .... here's a link:

Crystal Creek flows over a high step-like granite escarpment in the Hiawatha Highlands, creating Crystal Falls: a series of falls, pools, and cascades, that drop nearly 30 meters over a run of 90 meters.

These are from my second hobby, making competition ballroom dance dresses...this little jar holds about three gross SS20 stones, just 5mm diameter.
Little rainbow coloured AB crystals...
I will apply about 60 gross of this size crystal stone alone on one dress, by hand..
HMM Everyone!!
These crystals grew on a wet piece of wood during a very cold night. 06.12.2016 Helsinki, Finland.

This image represents a significant amount of discovery, experimenting, planning, and happy accidents. In the end, you’re looking at a collection of tiny Gooseneck Loosestrife flowers, plucked from their stem and placed inside a crystal geode, and illuminated with ultraviolet light.
The full details made it into my new book as the last example in the “MasterClass” section, and you can find that here: skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un... . The quick version still provides plenty of details, if you’d like to read on!
It turns out that Gooseneck Loosestrife is quite a fluorescent flower, giving off the look of floral fireworks. I often walk around my gardens at night with a UV flashlight to see what new flowers will glow / fluoresce that I haven’t explored, and to say these flower stalks got my attention is an understatement. After waking up the next morning, I knew what puzzle pieces to fit together.
The flowers were small enough to fit inside a “tunnel” geode I had bought a few years prior. I had always thought it would be a neat photographic subject, but never found the right theme. The same is true for the Laowa 24mm F/14 2x Macro Probe lens. Really neat concept, but not useful in every scenario. I started putting all these pieces together: the probe lens has a small enough barrel that it could actually fit inside the crystal tunnel.
With an intense and narrow UV LED flashlight, the Convoy C8, positioned on the other side of the geode filling the tunnel with UV radiation, I’d be able to make the flowers glow and appear as beacons inside the darkness. The flashlight is positioned on a Platypod Max with a gooseneck arm, which gives a lot more flexibility than a tabletop tripod when you need a precise trajectory of light to hit your subject. The idea was coming together, but there’s a curveball in play: the front of the 24mm probe lens contains a ring of LED lights. You wouldn’t think that should be a problem, but…
“White” LEDs don’t properly exist. In order to generate white light from an LED, we use an ultraviolet LED surrounded by various phosphors which fluoresce into the visible spectrum, a way of translating a narrow band of UV radiation into white visible light. A win for science! However, these phosphors are activated by UV light, even if it’s coming from an outside source. This means that the ring of LEDs, even when off, fluoresces orange. At first I was contemplating ways to cover these up, but no – the true gift here was to work with this “happy accident”. The orange glow you see in the front of the image is from the LED lights in the probe lens.
Focus stacked a few frames for a bit of added depth, but not much. This image works well when things fall out of focus. Plenty of fine tuning in post-production, but the “magic” is a natural in-camera fabric woven with equal parts art and science. Again, if you’re curious what steps go into constructing images like this from initial idea through completed results, check out the book in the above link!
Crystal Cascades is a secluded freshwater swimming hole, hidden in a tropical rainforest about 18k west of Cairns.. A series of small waterfalls flow into large pools surrounded by large impressive granite boulders.
