Après avoir exposé ma série photographique "Nights and Days in Paris" quelques jours auparavant à Tokyo, me voici maintenant à Séoul pour exposer à nouveau cette série à la "Galerie M" de Séoul, quartier NAKWON DONG. Ici se trouvent de nombreuses galeries d'art, étonnantes car très pluridisciplinaires où se côtoient arts ancestraux et arts contemporains. La veille j'ai accroché mon installation à la galerie. Aujourd'hui, quartier libre. Voici dans ce livret du jour mes premières errances entre mon hôtel et la galerie où je fixe mes premiers et si importants repères. Puis en nocturne, un vagabondage vers l'Est du coté de Sinseal et Dongdaemun. Une douce effervescence où chacun fait de sa nuit un leu de vie. Une marche continue faite d'étapes tout aussi sonores que lumineuses. Mon premier bain de minuit à Séoul. Je rentrerai, épuisé encore, vers 3 heures du matin à mon hôtel, couvert du sel de la ville.
ENGLISH
After having exhibited my photographic series "Nights and Days in Paris" a few days ago in Tokyo, I am now in Seoul to expose this series again at the "Galerie M" in Seoul, NAKWON DONG district. Here are many art galleries, amazing because very multidisciplinary and where ancestral arts and contemporary arts coexist. The day before I hung my installation at the gallery. Today, free time. Here in this booklet of the day my first wanderings between my hotel and the gallery where I fix my first and important landmarks. Then at night, a wander to the East to Sinseal, Dongdaemun. A sweet effervescence where everyone makes his night a lifetime, a continuous walk made of steps as sonorous as luminous. My first midnight bath in Seoul. I would return at 3 am to my hotel, covered with salt from the city.
the continuous pursuit
melting moments into hours - days -
lines -
a circle
sometimes more earthy than other times
with cranes trapped screeching inside your neck
centipedes carving galleries in discarded embraces
Achilles grinning tingled by the sharp tip of an arrow
so spent
litanies gone by with nothing to show
except the dirt from your hands,
and the upset frown of rocks, disarrayed
shambled
and then
it emerges, steady, tall
gentle sway in a safe hull
floating smoothly on turbulent streams
perfect stillness amidst entropy
drop of rain above the sweltering ground
and you know you are there
--
because sometimes it's easier to use metaphors to describe your struggle of bringing balance into your life (or balancing the matter around you)
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

The Hythe Ferry first appears on maps dated 1575. A hand-propelled Narrow Gauge railway was built on the pier in 1909, and was electrified in 1922. Hythe Pier stretches 700 yards (640 m) from the centre of Hythe to the deep water channel of Southampton Water, making it the 7th longest pier in the British Isles. It has been operating ever since then and is the longest continuously running pier train in the British Isles.
The Milky Way galaxy core shines over some otherworldly concretions at the "Pumpkin Patch" in Ocotillo Wells in the predawn hours of June 21, 2020. Shot with a Canon EOS R and Sigma 15mm EX DG lens. I illuminated the rocks in the foreground with an LED blacklight.
Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area had a soft reopening as of at least this past Friday. Although the website hasn't been updated to reflect this reopening, a park employee as well as a park ranger I encountered on Sunday confirmed that the park is now open again.
This unique landscape is the result of wind and water continuously eroding the surface soil and revealing these globular sandstone concretions. Such concretions are believed to be formed by the natural cementing of sand particles to a small object such as a piece of shell, a grain of sand, or even an insect.

The South-East side of the Rion – Antirion bridge, aka the Charilaos Trikoupis bridge, Greece. A 348 ft (106 m) long ship is seen under the bridge on a course crossing the strait; it is a ferry boat weighing 1,800 tons.
The bridge was the longest multi-span cable-stayed bridge in the world with its 7,388 ft (2,252 m) continuous and fully suspended deck when constructed (in 1997–2004). The foundations lay on a seabed reaching 213 ft (65 m) of depth and they have a 295 ft (90 m) diameter. During the 7-year long construction no serious accidents were reported, no single drop of blood was shed. The bridge is a landmark of Greece in the 21st century and is named after the late Prime Minister Ch. Trikoupis who spoke in the Parliament about the need for such a bridge in March 1889!

Paris shelters a lot of beautiful old homes with amazing stairs in which depth is the most amazing part of all. When the light is just good and nobody is around, even stairs are interesting to photograph. A shame that a lot of these buildings are forgotten.

"the concept of continuous existence." This is one of the definitions for Time. Time is an interesting concept and as I grow older it becomes more and more an enigma.
In regards to this photo. Does it read as my artistic interpretation of Time? or does it look like a photo for a timepiece in a catalog? Oh well. (:-)
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

After shooting at Bethells for the first time this week and seeing what cool landscapes there are, made me want to explore this area more. I ventured up to this spot to find this composition I was looking for, with a clear view of 'The Gap' and O'Neill Bay and no rogue waves to interrupt my shooting.
Once setup, I waited. I arrived for sunset, got a timelapse for the stars running then had a nap while the Milky Way slowly turned down towards the West. I took the first pano at 9:30, the Milky Way still quite high. After the second pano the clouds started to roll in. So I waited. Had some Whitakers Peanut Butter chocolate, and waited some more.
The clouds were in a continuous stream, right where the Milky Way was! Just my luck. After a while, the clouds gave way to stars, so I attempted another panorama, clouds came again. My goal was to shoot several panoramas of the same composition, but with the Milky Way at varied heights in the sky. I think I got about 3 out of 8 panos with enough stars.
At 11:58pm, I could finally see the Milky Way, most of it anyway, and captured this panorama. This would have to be the most technical panorama I've edited so far, it stitched perfectly, but bringing out all the details without it looking too rubbish took a bit of time and experimenting.
I hope you like the result :)

At first I thought both of these eagles were facing toward me, then I saw through the lens that the male has turned around to watch me in the boat. So great.

Dunbar, on the south-east coast of Scotland, actually has three harbours. Work on building the Cromwell Harbour started in 1655 and the structure, with its small basin, was completed about 1730.The harbour was used by Oliver Cromwell and his invasion force that defeated the Scottish Covenanters at the Battle of Dunbar. General Johnny Cope landed at Dunbar with his army, after sailing south from the North East of Scotland, prior to losing the battle of Prestonpans to Bonnie Prince Charlie. The harbour was famed for its herring fishing fleet and whaling industry and was a busy export centre for grain. It suffered particularly badly in a storm in 1655, when the inhabitants petitioned Parliament for help. Cromwell's government, established following his great victory at Dunbar in 1650, responded with a grant of £300 towards the construction of the East Pier. The completion of the works in the harbour in 1730 led to Dunbar's dramatic growth as a fishing and, for a time, whaling port.
By 1735, the harbour was again in a very poor condition. A national collection was made to fund improvements. Further improvements were necessary in 1744 following another storm, and again in 1785 when it was deepened with a new pier built on the west entry.
In 2009 the restoration of McArthur’s Stores was undertaken by Dunbar Harbour Trust to create 11 fishermen’s stores, an office for the Trust, and a meeting room that can be used by harbour users and the wider community. McArthur’s Store or Spott’s Girnell (granary) as it was first known when it was first recorded in 1658 is located on a spur of rock within the Cromwell harbour. Early charters described the property as the “white herring house with girnell” with its close, yards, and falls, with “full sea in all places”. The building is one of the oldest continuously used harbour buildings in Scotland.
Jamestown (originally also called "James Towne" or "Jamestowne") is located on the James River in what is currently James City County in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The site is about 40 miles (62 km) inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and about 45 miles (70 km) downstream and southeast of the current state capital city of Richmond. Both the river and the settlement were named for King James I of England, who was on the throne at the time, granted the private proprietorship to the Virginia Company of London's enterprise.
The location at Jamestown Island was selected primarily because it offered a favorable strategic defensive position against other European forces which might approach by water. However, the colonists soon discovered that the swampy and isolated site was plagued by mosquitoes and tidal river water unsuitable for drinking, and offered limited opportunities for hunting and little space for farming. The area was also inhabited by Native Americans (American Indians).

Despite inspired leadership of John Smith, chaplain Robert Hunt and others, starvation, hostile relations with the Indians, and lack of profitable exports all threatened the survival of the Colony in the early years as the settlers and the Virginia Company of London each struggled. However, colonist John Rolfe introduced a strain of tobacco which was successfully exported in 1612, and the financial outlook for the colony became more favorable. Two years later, Rolfe married the young Indian woman Pocahontas, daughter of Wahunsunacock, Chief of the Powhatan Confederacy, and a period of relative peace with the Natives followed. In 1616, the Rolfes made a public relations trip to England, where Pocahontas was received as visiting royalty. Changes by the Virginia Company which became effective in 1619 attracted additional investments, also sowing the first seeds of democracy in the process with a locally-elected body which became the House of Burgesses, the first such representative legislative body in the New World.
Throughout the 17th century, Jamestown was the capital of the Virginia Colony. Several times during emergencies, the seat of government for the colony was shifted temporarily to nearby Middle Plantation, a fortified location on the high ridge approximately equidistant from the James and York Rivers on the Virginia Peninsula. Shortly after the Colony was finally granted a long-desired charter and established the new College of William and Mary at Middle Plantation, the capital of the Colony was permanently relocated nearby. In 1699, the new capital town was renamed Williamsburg, in honor of the current British king, William III.
After the capital was relocated, Jamestown began a gradual loss of prominence and eventually reverted to a few large farms. It again became a significant point for control of the James River during the American Civil War (1861–1865), and then slid back into seeming oblivion. Even the Jamestown Exposition of 1907 was held elsewhere, at a more accessible location at Sewell's Point, on Hampton Roads near Norfolk.

Beginning in 1893, 22.5 acres of the Jamestown site were acquired by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. A crucial sea wall was built in 1900 to protect the shoreline near the site of James Fort from further erosion. In the 1930s, the Colonial National Historical Park was established to protect and administer Jamestown, which was designated a National Historic Site. The U.S. National Park Service acquired the remaining 1,500 acres (6.1 km²) of Jamestown Island through eminent domain in 1934.
For the 350th anniversary in 1957, Jamestown itself was the site of renewed interest and a huge celebration. The National Park Service provided new access with the completion of the Colonial Parkway which led to Williamsburg, home of the restored capital of Colonial Williamsburg, and then on to Yorktown, the other two portions of Colonial Virginia's Historic Triangle. Major projects such as the Jamestown Festival Park were developed by non-profit, state and federal agencies. Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and Prince Philip attended. The 1957 event was a great success. Tourism became continuous with attractions regularly updated and enhanced.
The two major attractions at Jamestown are separate, but complementary to each other. The state-sponsored Jamestown Settlement near the entrance to Jamestown Island includes a recreated English Fort and Native American Village, extensive indoor and outdoor displays, and features the three popular replica ships. On Jamestown Island itself, the National Park Service operates Historic Jamestowne. Over a million artifacts have been recovered by the Jamestown Rediscovery project with ongoing archaeological work, including a number of exciting recent discoveries.
Early in the 21st century, in preparation for the Jamestown 2007 event commemorating America's 400th Anniversary, new accommodations, transportation facilities and attractions were planned. The celebration began in the Spring of 2006 with the sailing of a new replica Godspeed to six major East Coast U.S. cities, where several hundred thousand people viewed it. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip joined America's festivities on an official state visit to Jamestown in May 2007.
After continuously eating and growing for two weeks, the Monarch Caterpillar will typically leave its food source and search for a nice safe place to transform into a butterfly. Once it finds its spot ( could be under a beach chair, an outdoor table, really anywhere), it will create a strong silk using its mouth , apply it to its hanging spot, and use that silk to hang upside in the shape of a J. After about 12 hours of hanging in this way, the Monarch Caterpillar will unzip its skin and reveal a green Chrysalis, where it will remain inside and transform over an additional two weeks.
Just before the transformation is complete, the green Chrysalis will begin to turn clear and you'll actually be able to see most of the Monarch Caterpillar inside. This shot was taken just an hour or so before the butterfly emerged.

The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters).
The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. The surrounding area is contained within the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the preservation of the Grand Canyon area and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.

Grand Canyon National Park is a national park of the United States located in northwestern Arizona, the 15th site to have been named as a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres (1,901.972 sq mi; 4,926.08 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, received more than 4.7 million recreational visitors in 2023. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The park celebrated its 100th anniversary on February 26, 2019.

Entirely within the state of Arizona, the park encompasses 278 miles (447 km) of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands. Located on the ancestral homelands of 11 present day Tribal Communities, Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world—a mile deep canyon unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers visitors from both north and south rims.

I continuously stopped along this road to take pictures; I was amazed at the physical beauty of the Dead Sea. The rocky mesas on the left in this picture reminded me of the mountains along I-70 between Eagle and Gypsum, Colorado. My friend in Israel saw the pictures I came back with and I could see how sad they made him. The water used to reach the edge of the road, barely visible in this picture along the base of the mountains. However, within the last decade, desalinization of the Dead Sea has drastically reduced water levels.
there are obstacles in my way.
this is my sister when we went out on a shoot together a couple months ago. just wanted to share one of the many shots i took that day, and to show you that i don't only take pictures of myself, which many people may think. :)

Well, I finally made it today! Today I was finally able to step foot on the Great Smoky Mountains, specifically Cades Cove. Up and on the road before the sun was thinking of waking, we we're able to enter the park at first light.
I'm told that this is normal and can cause a lot of lines to enter, but today, the colder weather seems to be keeping a lot of people away, for me however, this is still a nice break from the winter we've been having up in Ottawa and with the sun shining it was absolutely gorgeous.
I believe we're heading back to a different part of the park tomorrow with more water streams and such, looking forward to playing with my ND filter again.
Also, I was warned that there would be bears; I didn't see any... I'm not sure if this should disappoint me or comfort me? Maybe they were just stalking me and I didn't notice?
Hope everyone has had a good day.

The Mummers Parade is held each New Year's Day in Philadelphia. It started in 1901, and is the longest-running continuous folk parade in the United States. Local clubs, usually called "New Years Associations" or "New Years Brigades", compete in one of five categories: Comics, Wench Brigades, Fancies, String Bands, and Fancy Brigades. They prepare elaborate costumes, performance routines, and movable scenery, which take months to complete

Happy Bokeh Wednesday all. London has been in chaos for the last two days but from the chaos comes immense beauty.
London had continuous snow for 24 hours resulting in the most snow in 20 years. This was really exceptional. As a result nothing and nobody worked :-)
I went to take pictures in the park opposite my house on Monday, some snow covered nature stuff was what I was after… every single picture was rubbish! Yesterday the sun came, oh yes, much better, and as every bokeh hunter knows, melting snow and sun, with a good zoom are bokeh heaven. So as a result I filled an 8GB card in an hour LOL. So now I will be spending the next few WEEKS sifting through them ;-))
For this shot I am lying on my belly in the snow, with wet jeans trying to get the sun behind this low plant while being constantly "rained" on with falling snow from the trees overhead, but I knew it might be worth it :-))
Have a good weekend… oh no damn it it’s only Wednesday :-)
