Captured during the astrophotography seminar that I taught for the Mono Lake Committee last weekend.
In front of the municipal office / railway station of Delft, a new building will arise, the so-called Delft House. Until that time, the uncultivated land has turned into a colourful field of tulips, planted by pupils of several secondary schools. Many people visit the place to enjoy and to take pictures.
52 weeks of 2018 - Week 16: Photographing a Photographer
The fans are out in force to capture what will soon be history as CSXT's ex Pan Am local BO-1 noses out toward Lowell Street on the South Reading Branch with MEC 517 leading five empty tank tank cars from the Rousselot plant and one spacer after making the trip out to deliver the final load. The plant is winding down operations and will be closing later this year after being in business in some form for 206 years and with rail service for 173 of those!
The conductor will activate the signals and then flag traffic as the train steps out through the middle of Peabody Square in front of the District Courthouse and beneath the 50 ft tall Soldiers and Sailors monument built in 1881 and inscribed with the 71 names of local residents who died in the Civil War. Prior to 2016 if you'd taken this same shot the monument would have been behind the train in an island in the middle of traffic at the center of the square. However in early 2016 a more than $3 million project to reconfigure the square led to it being moved 30 ft back to this new plaza in front of the courthouse that the train cuts right through. This truly unique and remarkable location will see what may very well be its final train ever two days later when the local returns one more time to retrieve the last empty and take it back to Boston ending an era.
Fortunately, there will be no lack of photos, and the memory of the last trains will live on in stills and videos for future generations of fans to marvel over what once.

capturing a butterfly
with a camera
makes a great metaphor
for freezing fleeting bursts
of magical moments
each flitter is a unique gesture
which passes in an instant
each flutter is a singular motion
which never comes back
Looking through my viewfinder while trying to capture this butterfly reminded me how important it is to live in the moment. It doesn’t matter how simple or insignificant that moment might seem to be. I know that within it lie incredible wonders, but which only my heart can see.
thanks goes to totte for this shot....his self portraits are something to aim for.., thanks for raising the curve
Port (An Port), County Donegal, Ireland
After visiting and capturing images on the bay of An Port and its famine Village I got curious again so decided to venture off the beaten path. I hiked westerly along the rocky coast as it looked totally barren and untouched & this seemed very inviting to me
After a few cliffs and coves I arrived at this scene. A stunning family of sheep grazing right on the cliff edge & to the distance could be seen the most amazing ancient volcanic rock formations i've yet come across in a long time. This was all illuminated with the beautiful mid day sun which reflected off the waters surface like glittering diamonds.
I can still smell of the fresh sea air, hear the sheep baaing and feel the warm sun rays on my right cheek when I look at this image. This is why I love capturing these photos so much as to me they hold not only how on the scene looked, but it holds all the memories & senses I felt at exactly that time...
Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
Captured during peak sakura season, this image showcases Takada Castle glowing beneath a canopy of cherry blossoms, their soft lights mirrored in the still waters below.
driving without a map is something we're not used to, but during our road trip through the farm roads of Washington state, we decided to live dangerously and zoom around not knowing quite where we were, it was fun and even though we never got to where we wanted we did find lots of places that we had no idea even existed, it was fun :)
I have to say I love this one better …
I love the f stop, I could have use a different lens I suppose- I love the golden color. I Edited in Lightroom
I love it but wanted to really try and capture on my Nikon >>>>
Photographer catching moments of surfing action. - Makaha Beach Park on the leeward coast of Oahu, Hawaiian Islands
One of the many images I captured while standing on the overlook bridge at this location. I decided to use this one and convert to black & white using Silver Efex Pro 2, working with some of the color filters to bring out a richer tonal contrast in the final image.
It was a really windy day and I wanted to catch the the way the trees move, but how do you catch the wind? I reduced my shutter speed right down and so realised after I had caught the wave of the air moving, it looks like a bit of an oil painting but I like it.
Hope you all do too.
Thanks everyone :)
Since the first day of summer was on June 20th and the temps are heating up, I hope this video might cool us down. An excessive heat advisory/warning was issued here for the next 3 days. Stay cool!
I generated four Firefly video clips and put them together in Adobe Express. Audio is Morning Birds/water.
Text prompt I used for all - Capture a waterfall in a hand blown jar or glass container with summer flowers surrounding it.
It's funny how you can use the same one but get different results.
Filters and audio are from Adobe Express.
Thanks for your views, comments, awards, invites, and faves.

Saw this along the river at lunchtime yesterday. A sturdy seed pod as those winds were strong. View LARGE for more detail:):):).
The Anniston Museum in Alabama has a pretty impressive display of taxidermied animals. I am hoping that all of them died of natural causes and that no one went out hunting for their collection. Anyway, it is all part of the natural history exhibit they have going on. As I walked through the wonderful display, I found this scene between two foxes, it was so adorable I had to capture it. Then once I got home I thought that it may be perfect for this week's Flickr Friday together.
This image was captured in RAW and processed with Linux using RawTherapee. I processed it with a match low ISO preset.
