The change of seasons comes. The warmth fights the ice and snow.
A sunset scene from a pine tree forest reminds me of Shishkin's paintings....

Thank you for all your comments and favs, my friends.
Was taking pictures around this location and then for a moment the lighting changed as the sun was setting on the left, clouds were low blocking light to the right. Quite a remarkable sight.

The Milky Way core season will soon be over. That's however no reason to despair or to start sleeping at night. There are many other highlights in the night sky.
Autumn is the time when Orion, one of the most beautiful constellations, becomes visible again. The blue supergiant Riegel and the red supergiant Betelgeuse are hard to miss and M42, the Orion Nebula, can be seen by naked eye as well. If your skies are really dark, you can capture the elusive Barnards Loop, the red Meissa Region, the Flame Nebula or the Horshead. In the adjacent constellations there are more red gems, like the Rosette Nebula, the Christmas Tree Cluster or the Monkey Head Nebula.
Reason enough to stop on the way home from our Trona Pinnacles session at some interesting rocks. Not only the night sky can change. It was amazing to see how much the landscape differs a few miles away. Instead of tufa spires, the rocks here reminded me of Joshua Tree NP.

Ok, Tip of the day, and one of my best one. (This is what you see in my tutorials, how I work on my photos.)
Always look at a photo in layers, like let´s say we have a landscape pic of a ground, a mountain and a sky. Each part has its own layer, because sometimes you want to brighten the ground, the mountain might be good as it is, and then the sky could be darker. Then you erase or mask out the other parts of the pic, like in the sky one, you mask out everything but the sky ect...
Like in this picture, the sky got two layers, because so much is going on there.
Can you relate? I got up early because I wanted to photograph some places in town at sunrise. Hoping for warm light and strong shadows.
Almost all the sites I visited had changed into construction sites though and I really got in a bad mood.
I decided to go on since I was there anyway and time can be precious.
Then I saw the light on this window. Diffused by the tree. It's shadows casted on the wall. It instantly changed my mood. I started to photograph other things than planned and got home with a really nice set of photos. You have got to stay open minded.

At Gwanghwamun Gate, the main entrance to the palace, visitors can see the event twice a day at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. except Tuesdays, when Gyeongbokgung is closed. Gwanghwamun Gate is the venue for the changing of royal guards' ceremony in Seoul.
The new buildings right across from where I live, had some scratches in the windows (occurred during construction), so this was changing "almost new" to "brand new". The crane operator, Emil, was kind to let me follow his work for an hour...

Yes I'm Changing (Tame Impala)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI60jMIDQ0U
There is another future waiting there for you
I saw it different, I must admit
I caught a glimpse, I'm going after it
...
Yes I'm changing, can't stop it now
And even if I wanted I wouldn't know how
Another version of myself I think I found, at last
And I can't always hide away
...
Quoted from SongFacts:
Personal transition is a major theme flowing through frontman Kevin Parker's songwriting on the Currents album. He explained to Uncut magazine: "That was precipitated by what I found myself singing about. I usually just follow my instincts when I start writing and then I will notice a theme emerging. I tried to amplify that so I can make a cohesive album, one that has a message and story."
"And yeah, this theme of this personal transition and moving on really went together with the music. I wanted to explore this idea of feeling like you're turning into the kind of person you thought you'd never become or starting to appreciate things you've never done it before," he continued. "You set these rules and standards, then one day you feel like you want to embrace other things, and the only way to do that is to abandon your previous self."
Parker added that this was the song where he felt it all started to cohere, stating "'Yes, I'm Changing' was the first time I managed to string together the right words to bring home what I'm trying to say."

Looks like lots of evergreen trees along the riverside but, of course, there are many that show the seasonal change more than others!

Giraffatitan, meaning "giant giraffe", is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived during the late Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian–Tithonian stages). It was originally named as an African species of Brachiosaurus (B. brancai) but this has since been changed. Giraffatitan was for many decades known as the largest dinosaur but recent discoveries of several larger dinosaurs prove otherwise: giant titanosaurians (Argentinosaurus, Puertasaurus and Futalognkosaurus) appear to have surpassed Giraffatitan in terms of sheer mass also the sauropod dinosaur Sauroposeidon is estimated to be taller and possibly heavier than Giraffatitan.
All size estimates for Giraffatitan are based on the specimen HMN SII a subadult individual between 21.8–22.5 metres (72–74 ft) in length and about 12 meters (39 ft) tall. Mass estimates are varied from as little as 15 tonnes (17 short tons) to as much as 78.3 tonnes (86.3 short tons) but there is evidence supporting that these animals could grow larger HMN XV2, represented by a fibula 13% larger than the corresponding material on HMN SII which might have attained 26 metres (85 ft) in length or longer.
Giraffatitan brancai was first named and described by German paleontologist Werner Janensch in 1914 as Brachiosaurus brancai, based on several specimens recovered between 1909 and 1912 from the Tendaguru formation near Lindi, in what was then German East Africa, today Tanzania. It is known from five partial skeletons, including three skulls and numerous fragmentary remains including skull material, some limb bones, vertebrae and teeth. It lived from 145 to 150 million years ago, during the Kimmeridgian to Tithonian ages of the Late Jurassic period.
A famous specimen of Giraffatitan brancai mounted in Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin) is one of the largest, and in fact the tallest, mounted skeletons in the world, as certified by the Guinness Book of Records. Beginning in 1909, Werner Janensch found many additional G. brancai specimens in Tanzania, Africa, including some nearly complete skeletons, and used them to create the composite mounted skeleton seen today.
There's nothing constant in the world,
all ebb and flow, and every shape that's born
bears in its womb the seeds of change.

Changed some tiny bits.
Added a number plate, changed the colour of the grille from dark grey to white, added upper holders to the rear view mirrors, and replaced a black plate with a sand green one, but that's not visible from this perspective.
Oh, and I wanted to have 'something' dangling from the rear view mirror inside, went for a pair of cherries, but had no idea how to fix it elegantly. Found the rubberducky instead and put her on the dashboard.

My wife carries this change purse every time she goes out. I don't know why?
I carry NOTHING with me other than keys, a wallet and a phone, none of which were available as subjects for today's MM.. My wife came through again!
