This scenery I saw when I was sailing on the boat through the magic Vietnamese Halong Bay.
Sometimes the landscapes there turn into a pink wonderland.
Wish you all a wonderful start of the weekend………
Get ready to sail into the weekend and………….
Due to other priorities and commitments, I was only able to get this shot up now, although this was taken a few months ago in May.
MacRitchie Reservoir is a great place to to get away from the noisy parts of the city, for some peace and quiet. During blue hour, it is surprisngly not very crowded at all, so I was able to experiment as many shots as possible in different settings without too much difficulty.
Alas, I was not able to get a good sunset that day due to very cloudy weather, but the blue hour view more than made up for it.
A blazing sunny day causing difficulties for exposure, even by hiding in the shadows the sun was burning bright on the white water...which lent a nice effect to the spray at the top of the falls. A beautiful place to just watch the water...
A vertical and horizontal pano was needed to catch all details along the upper rim and the foreground rocks.

One of the difficulties encountered since discovering textures is that almost every photo appears to me aesthetically improved with the application(s). This bothers me somewhat. My first several years on Flickr were exclusively SOOC, and while I have by no means become a processing pro, I have learned enough to adjust both my thinking and my preferences for what I'm doing. Today, it takes a conscious decision to AVOID going to my texture file.
Here, the original photo is shown in comments and I was quite pleased with it SOOC...but then the thinking started, and the result is shown in the featured image. It started with, "Hmmm...I've got a sun that will fit nicely in that notch in the treeline." Many of you know the feeling. This one was admittedly a difficult decision (not all are) and I remain uncertain as to my personal preference in this particular case. What has become clear is that I certainly cannot consider myself a "purist" any longer...whatever that means...if anything and if it ever did.
It was a 5 day long via ferrata adventure, mountain hut to mountain hut in breathtaking scenery of Brenta Dolomites. Route is called Bocchette Alte. It is medium-high difficulty. Highly recommended to anyone into this sort of activity.
The difficulty is in seeing them :-)

In the course of the centuries so much has been built, demolished and carpeted at Heeswijk Castle that medieval builders today would have great difficulty recognizing their castle. Heeswijk may be a construction history jumble, it is still a large, imposing and beautifully situated complex that can rightfully be considered as one of the important medieval castles of North Brabant.
To begin with, there is the respectable age of perhaps around 950 years. The history of Heeswijk Castle goes back at least to the first half of the twelfth century, and possibly even further, to the end of the eleventh century. First, a motteburcht arose on this site, that is to say an artificially raised hill, 6 to 7 meters high, between 25 and 30 meters in diameter and surrounded by a moat. A tufa stone reinforcement was built on that hill, probably in the form of a tower.
In the fourteenth century that tower was no longer sufficient. Then, in stages, the construction of the brick late-medieval castle began, of which considerable parts are still standing today.
However, Heeswijk is not only interesting because of its long history. Hein Hundertmark, who investigated the building history of the castle, points out that from that fourteenth-century rebuilding until well into the nineteenth century, Heeswijk was always at the forefront of architectural architecture. The owners and builders constantly led the way in adapting the castle to changing circumstances.
This applies to the ambitious fourteenth and fifteenth century construction phases, whereby the castle was adapted to, among other things, the development of gunpowder guns. But also for the sixteenth and seventeenth-century conversion of a defensible castle into a representative noble residence. All things considered, it is no less true of the romantic dream that inspired Baron Van den Bogaerde of Terbrugge and his sons in the nineteenth century to neo-gothic extensions and additions, including the incorporation of all kinds of building fragments into the exterior facades. Heeswijk also set a trend in this neo-gothic adaptation.
Only after the Second World War was this line of progressiveness broken. For the last owner, the architectural legacy of his nineteenth-century ancestors was an annoying "romantic madness." He wanted the castle to return to a sober medieval aesthetic. It is therefore all the more spicy that the restoration of Heeswijk, which had to bring about this, ended in a castle with a predominantly eighteenth-century appearance.
I always have difficulty photographing the few wintering Eurasian Wigeons in the region. They are challenging to isolate because they are usually among a flock of American Wigeons. I finally found one that was willing to cooperate.
Une espèce que je trouve difficile à isoler et photographier. Seulement quelques individus passent l'hiver dans la région et ils sont habituellement parmi les Canards d'Amérique. En voici un qui a finalement coopéré.
I am still having difficulties identifying these two hawks;
Cooper's vs Sharp-shinned. You be the judge
I looked them up several times in bird books and also different websites and theoretically I know the differences between the two but in real life I am still struggling identifying them.
Thanks everyone for your opinion and comments. Much appreciated.
L'anse Magaud
Idéalement situé à deux pas de la ville, le rivage sauvage et préservé de Magaud se découvre après quelques efforts de marche ! Joyau de la Méditerranée niché entre de hautes falaises, il dévoile aux baigneurs le charme discret d'une belle plage de galets, abritée de pins. À déconseiller aux plus petits et à ceux qui se déplacent avec difficultés !
À Magaud, les amateurs de plongée partent à la découverte des fonds marins, alors que petits et grands gravissent les nombreux rochers immergés qui bordent la plage. Si le site est connu des Toulonnais pour ses promenades escarpées, il est aussi scrupuleusement surveillé en période estivale.
Magaud Cove
Ideally located a stone's throw from the city, the wild and unspoiled shore of Magaud can be discovered after a few efforts of walking! A jewel of the Mediterranean nestled between high cliffs, it reveals to swimmers the discreet charm of a beautiful pebble beach, sheltered by pine trees. Not recommended for the little ones and those who move with difficulty!
In Magaud, diving enthusiasts set off to explore the seabed, while young and old alike climb the many submerged rocks that line the beach. If the site is known to the people of Toulon for its steep walks, it is also scrupulously guarded in summer.

Es ist eine wahre Freude Gismo und seinem Bruder beim erwachsen werden zusehen zu dürfen. Wir haben die Anfangsschwierigkeiten gut überstanden. Sie vertragen sich sehr gut mit meiner Luna und meinem Balu.
Bei der Jenny ist es so eine Sache, sie ist eine ältere Katzendame und will einfach nur ihr Ruhe, das akzeptiere ich und solange es keinen Krieg gibt, ist alles gut.
Den Katzenschnupfen und die Bandwürmer sind ebenfalls Geschichte und jetzt steht ihnen nichts mehr im Weg, um gesunde erwachsene Kater zu werden.
It is a real pleasure to watch Gismo and his brother grow up. We got through the initial difficulties well. They get along very well with my Luna and my Balu.
It's a thing with Jenny, she's an older cat lady and she just wants her peace and quiet, I accept that and as long as there's no war it's all good.
Cat flu and tapeworms are also history and now nothing stands in the way of them becoming healthy adult cats.

I can imagine the difficulty of plunging under water at speed to take a fish at home in that element, rising to the surface, breaking the water tension to take to the air against the roiling sea. I liked the shape of the wave in this image which to me nicely frames the action as the Osprey takes this large fish home to feed its family. I think the fish is a Menhaden but please feel free to correct my identification. (Pandion haliaetus)

It is probably obvious that I am having difficulties with this when it comes to those who are currently in charge of governing the UK. To whom would I take my hat off? I can't see anyone in the cabinet having the intellectual and moral qualities necessary for the job. Many observers have come to the conclusion that standards in British government are currently desperately low. The current turmoil in Westminster is a consequence of this. I am aware that my complaint won't change much. Saying nothing, however, is the worst option. Fuji X-Pro1.
My husband has always been red/ green colour blind. He’s recently had new glasses to show him the real colours. These berries were a perfect test for them, he had no difficulty picking out the berries against the green leaves.
The berries are food for the birds too, though definitely not for humans

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
It was an adventure: It was a misty, cool and very wet day at the beach. In addition, we had to watch that our return route would not be cut off by the fast incoming tide.
Anyway, we persevered and my husband, with great difficulty, managed to gather several of the low-hanging apples on the lone tree growing on a steep bank behind the wet and slippery piles of driftwood. The apples are small but definitely crisp and delicious!!

This warbler was an unsually cooperative individual. If it seems I was quite close here as well as with my earlier images of this Canada Warbler, it is because I was. It certainly makes up for the difficulty I had last year trying to photograph one of these.
l wish we all overcome these difficulties under the pandemic of COVID-19.

This was a challenging swimming area but so worth the initial entry difficulty. (You have to dive through the swell to enter.) Lots of lovely fisheys underneath the turbulence.
Exiting is even harder, especially when exhausted. You need to catch a wave to propel and lift you onto the jagged rocks. So many people injured, including myself.
I was also stung by bees, three times. (Honey producing region.)
On the other side of the big rocks is a five star resort you can sneak into, if you can survive the swim!

I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream
Could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
(Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was youLes yeux sans visage) eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face
When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket, then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas
Oh, the gigolo pool
Hanging out by the state line
Turning holy water into wine
Drinking it down, oh
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books, trying to stay hip
I'm thinking of you and you're out there, so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayersNow I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise
(Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face
Such a human waste
Your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse
Mont d'Hermone is a worthwhile mountain with no particular difficulties and beautiful panoramic views over the Chablais region (France).
The Dent d'Oche (Haute-Savoie - France) was formerly known as the Dent d'Houche. The teme Oche designates an indentation or notch, whether in Chablais dialect (ouche), Old French (osche), Prelatin (osco) or Vulgar Latin (coccia), and refers to the Col de Planchamp, which forms an indentation between the Dent d'Oche and the Château d'Oche.
Le Mont d'Hermone est une montagne digne d'intérêt qui ne présente aucune difficulté particulière et qui offre de beaux panoramas sur le Chablais (France).
La dent d'Oche (Haute-Savoie - France) était autrefois dénommée dent d'Houche. Le teme Oche désigne une entaille ou une encoche que ce soit en patois chablaisien (ouche), vieux français (osche), en prélatin (osco) ou en latin vulgaire (coccia) et fait référence au col de Planchamp qui constitue une entaille entre la dent d'Oche et le Château d'Oche.
Whenever people suffered the difficulty in real life, they either faced the challenge with courage or hided themselves in their secret garden temporarily, made their sophicated thoughts within, and then find way to breakthrough again.
Have you ever own your secret garden ? It could be a real place in the world , or just a mental place at your mind, which made yourself feel safe & help you calm down from the suddently sufferings in real life.
Try to create the secret garden through the overlayering composition, it can be a place mixed with variable emotions, happiness, sorrow, hate, sadness, peaceful etc, not necesarry a subjective garden in vision, maybe just a private corner under the tree, on the meadow, or even the space between the leaves & air.. tell me how you think about your secret garden.

The Moon, Biafra, a murderous earthquake, a campaign against pollution, a six-day war, a Bay of Pigs, the death of a Mao—mere Christmas parties one and all, with the great thoughtless void suddenly wreathed in flowers, and tooting its two-penny whistle. For a little while no one is bored, which is something at least.
I was having difficulties when trying to capture this dude. It was flying up and down (like a yo-yo) from a flower at very fast speed. With tall trees above limiting the sunlights, I could only push up the ISO inorder to increase the shutter speed. This is one of the few successful attempts. will show the rest later.
P.S. this bee is quite tiny.

I've had some difficulty in pinning the chassis number down for this particular car, the closest I can feasibly get to (and may still be wrong) is S/N 0879GT. **Update: its S/N 0773GT**
S/N 0879GT listed as a Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta Scaglietti TdF in maroon with a black stripe, with three louvres,
covered headlights and high alloy decoration in the door (57 style).
If this is the car, it was registered to Wolfgang Seidel in Bologna in 1958 (not 1957) so not entirely sure its the same car. Regardless, its a lovely looking 250 TdF, especially from this front on angle.

nocturnal return to our cottage in Iceland under very difficult conditions of total darkness, roads that were not cleared and a steadily growing blizzard that turned visibility into an abstract feature.
Amiakhum is my second most favorite waterfall in the whole of the country. It is located deep within the hills. Roughtly a day and half walk away from Remakri town. The waterfall is basically a huge cascade that falls into a different level of the river. It is really worth it staying there overnight if you have a moon up ahead of you. It was a magical experience we had. The trail is neither the toughest nor beginner in difficulty wise. Recommended if one has passion for waterfalls and trekking.

HOW LONG WILL I LOVE YOU by ELLIE GOULDING
I LEAVE OUT ALL DESIRE
As I stand amid the poppies and smell their sweet perfume
I know that I am leaving here to find a land where I belong
I am knee deep dancing in the wind
that blows me who knows where
but one thing that I'm certain of is I'll leave without a care
there is nothing left to keep me here except this field of dreams
but I need to find another world to replace the red with cream
too much vivid colour has drained me of all reason
I need to feel snow underfoot; I need another season
red the colour of my heart; passionate; sincere
but oh so easily broken and drowned with all my tears
a perfect soul; does it really exist; I have no way of knowing
the wind's impatient just like me; I shrug and keep on going
I pack a suitcase with my life and leave out all desire
there's room enough to fill one day if someone lights my fire
my steps are lighter as though I fly above the scarlet land
where once my soul was tethered to a gentle caring man
where is he now I wonder briefly but it's just a fleeting thought
he wasn't always gentle as the time that followed taught
why do we start as one thing and let ourselves be shaped
by life and love and everything that passed by us and scraped
another scar; a pack of lies; broken bones as fragile as a bird's
bleached and leached
by the harshness of someone's scorching words
the sea rises up to claim me;
the salt-laden air cauterises my wounds
but the scars inside me will remain
long after my love for him has been consumed
I close my eyes and dare to dream;
a world with pastel colours; predominantly cream
but maybe with pure white of snow;
of graceful swans and angels wings
somewhere where time has no other meaning
than the soft beating of my heart
rhythmic; gentle like butterflies wings
and the whispered words of Descartes ...

Real-world drama, served in the comfort of home by that whore called Mass Media, only stirs up the void where Western opinion has long been submerged. Someone drools at a current event, and mistakes his drivel for meaningful thought. Still, let’s not be too quick to spit our scorn its way. Empty drivel indeed, but it shows nonetheless how reading the papers or watching the news can provoke at least the appearance of thinking. Like Pavlov’s dog, whose slobber revealed the mechanics of instinct.
It is a truly magnificent thing, a testament to the generosity and kindness that exists within us all. When we give to others, we are not only helping them, but we are also helping ourselves. There is a certain sense of satisfaction that comes with knowing that you have made a positive impact on someone else's life.
Supporting each other is equally beautiful. When we offer our support to others, we are letting them know that they are not alone. We are telling them that we are here for them, no matter what. This can be an incredibly powerful message, especially during times of difficulty and struggle.
To all of those who practice giving and supporting each other in their everyday lives, I extend my heartfelt thanks. Your kindness and compassion are truly inspiring. Your actions remind us all of the goodness that exists in the world, and they serve as a reminder of what we can achieve when we work together.
So here's to all of the givers and supporters out there. You are making the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. Thank you for all that you do!
