Took a quick snowshoeing trip overlooking Donner Lake last Friday. I shot these few snaps at the top up by the old train trestles. It was a perfect afternoon and I'm ready to hit the fresh mountain snow again after the next storm.
I did minimal sliding here {sharpening & levels in Snapseed}, nature slid it way more impressively than I ever could!! I polled the family for a one word description. Examples were surreal, otherworldly and Daliesque. That last word seemed to cover it best!
This is an unusual shot because of the pool of water fronting the sea. A sand replenishment operation has reshaped the beach carrying the sand down the shoreline with the in and outgoing tides. The pool of water is one result ... displaying some spectacular reflections!!!! I have had no opportunity to check out the Nikon shots ... so I give you the iPhone shot!!
I'm taking Jack back to school this morning ... will be back to check out all your sliders this evening!! Happy Sliders Sunday Folks! Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
I can't end beach week without a beach fence!! If you look closely, you will find the fisherman!!
Happy Fence Friday & TGIF!
Taken during that magic hour after the sun has set ... a lonely sentinel standing guard as one last figure walks the beach. *happy sigh* wishing I was there ... wishing that was me!
Cheers to your Tuesday!

Down to earth then sinks the sun ♫
Back in 2018, it was my 1st time visiting the beautiful town of Baler and I got to capture this special view.
I uploaded this to Flickr awhile ago but never posted it! Even now, when I walk about, it still looks like autumn around here. It is so ridiculously warm today (81°). I feel like I'm on another planet.
Sorry in advance to all you folk who suffered through the polar vortex. I really am envious of the snowy photos .... but not the bitter cold temps! Still no snow in the mountains around here. Never did get to take Sammy out sledding :(
Hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday!

Morning light at Serón
[This is a series of photos that I took while backpacking Torres del Paine. I tried to take as many photos as possible, but it rained so much more than I had ever anticipated, so it was not possible. Itt was extremely windy, so a combination of both rain and wind made it difficult to shoot while actually hiking.]
I did not know if the wooden wagon was even in use. It was there when I arrived there from Central for the first time, and even later when I returned from Dickson after failing to go over the pass due to waist deep snow, it was still there. Well, I definitely didn’t see a single horse or a cow there.
My mind was racing. I had to compose a shot before the light faded. And the wagon had to be part of it. While completely mesmerized by the color palettes that unfolding before my eyes, I had to make sure that the shot was worth composing.
I snapped a shot, but I wasn’t sure.
And took another.
And that was it. I was already looking for the next subject that I could place in the foreground.
This is another long exposure shot of the potholes in La Jolla. The raw image was very dark. I slid some light in and discovered pastel color lurking.
Happy Sliders Sunday!! Are you ready to do the 12 Days of Christmas countdown?
Mix It Up
Artistic intent mixes with the city vibe - even inviting the photographer into the frame - and creates its own new look. Nice patterns and a feeling of motion add energy. Brilliant colors join light and reflection and give back new gifts of vision and a fresh story.

My friend Larry launched a new group: "The Human Element"
Recently, we had a long discussion around the idea that 'some photos just wouldn't be the same without the unique visual characteristics of the human form.' Please join his group and add your 'human element' image. We'd love it if you shared with us!
Last week, I drove to the lake to catch a sunrise. It was a beautiful sunrise. When this gentleman strolled into my frame with his long shadow, it transformed the image for me. It was boring without the 'human element.' I was saving this for a future Fence Friday but decided that this would be my first entry for the new group. And of course, it is also Wednesday, so ...
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

Morning light at Serón
[This is a series of photos that I took while backpacking Torres del Paine. I tried to take as many photos as possible, but it rained so much more than I had ever anticipated, so it was not possible. Itt was extremely windy, so a combination of both rain and wind made it difficult to shoot while actually hiking.]
Once I took the first shot, I started moving around as quickly as possible before the gorgeous light disappeared. I knew it would not last long. So, I kept searching for spots where I could compose a shot. And I found this old log sitting in the grass. I did not think that it was the best object that I could have in the foreground nor that it was one of the best compositions that I could have, but it had to do it.
Thanks to the constant rain, the grass was so green. Almost lush. And I liked the fact that my camera could pick up all the details of each leaf of grass. Yes, you have to look at it in a larger size, but you’ll still get the idea.
An upward sweep of ICM, intentional camera movement, catches the light and color of details with its strong vertical pull. Faint horizontal patterns anchor the shot. A limited color palette keeps things simple with exposure only revealing what's necessary to make the story. It's a bit mysterious but complete enough to recognize and allows a viewer to contemplate elements in context.

♫ Bush – The Sound of Winter ♫
Let's walk through the fire together
Disappear in the golden sands
I like that particular bit of lyric ... seems to be at odds with this image doesn't it?
I dream of snow ... yet I also dream of golden sands ...
I'm quite sure this song is the telling of a tragic love story ...
but I like it anyway and I'm going with it.
Today is holiday recovery ... tomorrow back to work.
It went so fast ...
Pebble beach at Dickson
[This is a series of photos that I took while backpacking Torres del Paine. I tried to take as many photos as possible, but it rained so much more than I had ever anticipated, so it was not possible. It was extremely windy, so a combination of both rain and wind made it difficult to shoot while actually hiking.]
This is one of the small amount of photos that I managed to take on this trip. It is unfortunate that it rained so much while I was there. Guess it is one more reason to go back to Patagonia.
This was taken at the pebble beach at Dickson where icebergs were afloat. Although I thought I seized the moment when the rain stopped, as soon as I got out there and started taking pictures, the raindrops began falling on me again. Let me remind you that the winds never stopped blowing as well. Eventually the combination of rain and winds forced to withdraw from the beach.
The sun shone spottidly in a corner of the pale sky but never persisted, mostly blotted out by the grey blanket of clouds. In the company of rain, the clouds hardly gave way to the blue skies. In spite of long hours of daylight, the rain never permitted me to take shots for the rest of the day.
Planet at Gerdes
Decay takes on a life of its own as rust devours metal in interesting patterns and forms. Colors excite visual and emotional sense. Perspective emphasizes the spherical form and conjures a planet in another galaxy. If you have a good imagination.

Market Life
Her daily life is represented over expanses of time with multiple exposure. The contrasts of a timeless marketplace and looming high rises in the background anchor her ever changing life. Strong diagonals add drama as do bold colors against a lightly hued backdrop. Rich details are there to discover.
I heard a rumor that tomorrow is the “rapture” ... the beginning of the end of days. So I thought I should post my last fence while I have the chance!! And since it is a beautiful day ... 70 degrees and blue skies; I'm heading out the door to enjoy it ... once again ... while I have the chance!! I'll be back, on the eve of this 'last day' to check out everyone's awesome fences!!
Happy Fence Friday!!
We have Frank Gehry to thank for the outside staircase on the south side of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). Happened to notice orange winter sunlight peeking through massive wooden window shutters, horizontal light that would normally be mostly obscured in a gallery space where natural light harms precious objects. Followed the light to the spiral staircase that runs down the south side of the building. Found the city highlighted in sunset gold and the reflected colours on the back wall of the AGO were spectacular!
