Almost lost in darkness, the sun shines its bounty on the metal shapes next to glass. Curves appear as a chair shows off its lovely contours and the table gives a hint of its presence. Lot's of negative space and the weight of elements within the frame add drama. Contrast provides energy - a silhouette of light and dark. Color detracted, so it's gone. Doesn't take a lot to make things interesting.

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?
"Golden hour magic meets timeless engineering. Caught this windmill standing proud against a fiery sky, with silhouettes adding just the right touch of story and scale. Sometimes, the best moments are the quiet ones we almost miss."
THE ENTRANCE
Going to Haukland beach...what a beautiful place!
It is snowing again today in Bonn, Germany. Will it ever end? ;-)

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!

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary.
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
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.

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.
A line of monks leads to the main subject bathed in soft light. Focus directs - patterns and repetition add strength. But it is his eyes that draw mine and hold.

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.
LARGE View On Black

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!
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!!
Went to the beach for sunset on Christmas Day.
Ribbons of color and wispy clouds slid across the sky.
The beach was lined with silhouetted conversation.
Just a tad of sliding to pop the color & contrast.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
The day after Christmas, I did a walkabout at my brother-in-laws house. As you can see, no snow! But the light was heavenly, the fall color still vibrant ... and I so love his little rowboat!!
Happy Cliché Saturday!!

You see, I once wrote the silence. I dipped my pen in raindrop memories and let then run into one another on the window of my page, building into something tangible...
I wrote silence's secrets into metaphors and synonyms, both hiding and hoping you'd read them and understand what I could never say.

|| on my way to Patagonia in 5 hours, to spend the next 9 days on glaciers and in mountains. Yes please. ||
Sunset stroll
I looked up at the sky about ten minutes past five and thought that a fair amount of clouds was still lingering. I wasn’t sure if they would remain for another half hour and help create a beautiful sunset. I knew I didn’t have enough time to drive and reach the beach in time. So, instead I decided to try it at the park.
There were not a lot but some people who came out for an evening walk, and it was inevitable to see at least one of them in my composition. For that reason, I took at least an extra shot at the same exposure thinking that I was going to Photoshop them out by blending them.
But then, when I actually got to this shot, I completely changed my mind.
I couldn’t resist leaving him in as he was walking down the path while keeping a foot of distance from the borders. He became the man in my sunset stroll.
