The colours were there - just deepened slightly for Sliders Sunday.
I really appreciate any Views, Faves and Comments and I will try to visit your sites in due course. Thank You so much.
Another take on this composition in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. A little later into sunset where the colours deepened and sun flares were much reduced.
Sun disappeared behind the distant rocks as moon climbed over a colorful horizon @Leo Carillo State Park
Got up early to take this shot.
The weather was stunning. The Mountain speaks for itself.
Taken from Oxbow Bend on the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park.
The colors are amazing - this was taken this morning and colors have been deepening as the aspens turn for the last six days that we have been checking in at this spot (morning and afternoon.)
This Bridge is truly a magical structure hidden away on a woodland hillside deep within a Scottish Glen, and with it's large arc and pointed stones decorating it, the picture really conjures up a Fairytale area where could it be possible that the Fairies actually played here........The mystery deepens as to Who, When and Why was it built.........best just to quietly visit then steal away and leave the mystery to the Faries.......
A slight rain comes, bathed in dawn light.
I hear it among treetop leaves before mist
Arrives. Soon it sprinkles the soil and,
Windblown, follows clouds away. Deepened
Colors grace thatch homes for a moment.
Flocks and herds of things wild glisten
Faintly. Then the scent of musk opens across
Half a mountain -- and lingers on past noon.

"Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.: - Paul Gaugin
After setting up our new campsite for the second week, I suggested to my hubby we should see what's happening on the lake. We were shocked to see the pale colors spilling from the sky into the lake and then.... the colors deepened. I had to step into the water to get the real feeling of this whole scene. It was like I was in a dream! Seven nights on this lake and the colours came and went with one dream after another.
As the quietness of evening deepens, a gentle breeze comes carrying the crisp scents of fallen leaves and damp soil. Together with the rustling of leaves, they form a prelude that announces the end of a long day and sets the scene for a dreamy autumn night.

“Their pennies just keep on coming in
The spirits still soaking in their sins
Some say they’re even born again
See what you can find at the end of the line
There’s no end in time at the end of the line
There’s no peace of mind at the end of the line
You can run, you can’t hide at the end of the line
And there’s no peace of mind at the end of the line.”
(Quoted from ‘The End of August’ by Yanni)
Heinrich Johann I Droste zu Hülshoff (1677-1739) had four chestnuts planted on the northern banks of the pond at the beginning of the 18th century, which were constantly replaced by new ones. Hülshoff also owes him the oak alley that leads from the northwest to the lime tree avenue. His second son, the Osnabrück canon Ernst Constantin I., planted the southern part of the Sommerbosketts and the predecessors of the Kastanienallee, which feeds on the Hausteich from the north. The pavilion in the northern part of the Sommerbosketts, the so-called teahouse, was a gift from his brother, the dean of Coesfeld, Ferdinand Godfried von Droste zu Hülshoff (1741-1818). Her nephew Clemens-August II von Droste zu Hülshoff , father of the poetess Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, had the swampy terrain lying south, dry. For this he had the ditches from the eastern and western tower of the bailey to the house pond lift. The almost silted ditch between the two towers was deepened. The current form of the park also dates back to him, which allowed him to design it as a landscaped garden. It was not until the 1970s that Jutta von Droste zu Hülshoff gave the outer bailey such wide ditches that one could speak of an island situation. She had the park fenced in and put on a rose garden and a lawn.
Some colour to hopefully brighten up a dull day.
I was starting to give up on sunsets, for weeks they haven't been particularly amazing; either too much cloud or not enough.
So I went along to Mudeford and it looked a bit hazy so I wasn't too worried initially when one of the tripod legs refused to tighten, I'm still getting used to it. It just wouldn't play ball though, I was still wrestling with it as the sky colour deepened into something amazing, much to my dismay. In the end I had to hold it as a monopod and only got about two acceptable shots.
Of course when I got home it was fine!!
Have a lovely weekend everyone x
A trip down the Great Ocean Road is not complete without the obligatory visit to the Twelve Apostles at either sunrise or sunset. We chose sunset although the sun was setting over the rock stacks rather than further out over the sea. There were a couple of hundred people watching, a much smaller number than the last time I was there some years ago.
For those unfamiliar with the Apostles, there were 8 (never 12) from the viewing point until one collapsed in 2005. A colony of Fairy (Little) Penguins came ashore as the darkness deepened in the foreground right.
Late in the afternoon when the light starts to fall across the desert it reflects off the walls that surround Lake Powell and shines bright on the water. The sky gets its moment also as the blue darkens. It's a momentary splash of color that deepens and fades as night gobbles up the light.
Thanks for stopping by
The snow is deepening and everything is very quite. When the sun goes down even the snow gets blue. From a mire in Swedish Lapland 24 november 2016
Ullswater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District, being approximately nine miles long and with a maximum depth of slightly more than 200 feet. Many regard Ullswater as the most beautiful of the English lakes: it has been compared to Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. It is a typical Lake District narrow "ribbon lake" formed after the last ice age when a glacier scooped out the valley floor and when the glacier retreated, the deepened section filled with meltwater which became a lake. A total of three separate glaciers formed the lake. The surrounding mountains give Ullswater the shape of a stretched 'Z' with three distinct segments (or 'reaches') that wend their way through the surrounding hills.

© www.ludwigriml.com “April ended and May came along, but May was even worse than April. In the deepening spring of May, I had no choice but to recognize the trembling of my heart. It usually happened as the sun was going down. In the pale evening gloom, when the soft fragrance of magnolias hung in the air, my heart would swell without warning, and tremble, and lurch with a stab of pain. I would try clamping my eyes shut and gritting my teeth, and wait for it to pass. And it would pass....but slowly, taking its own time, and leaving a dull ache behind.
At those times I would write to Naoko. In my letters to her, I would describe only things that were touching or pleasant or beautiful: the fragrance of grasses, the caress of a spring breeze, the light of the moon, a movie I'd seen, a song I liked, a book that had moved me. I myself would be comforted by letters like this when I would reread what I had written. And I would feel that the world I lived in was a wonderful one. I wrote any number of letters like this, but from Naoko or Reiko I heart nothing.”

The time was right as we got into Cosmo Clock, the ferris wheel at Cosmo World, the amusement park in Yokohama.
The sun had set a few minutes ago, and the colors of the sky were deepening.
The cityscape was changing as our cabin rose high up above all nearby buildings.
横浜のコスモワールドのコスモクロックに乗った時間はちょうど良かった。
数分前日が暮れて、空の色は深くなってきた。

During my partial thermal inversion shoot was finally wrapped up, I found this lovely little display. Clouds parting both above and bellow this tiny community nestled into the mountains. I spent a bit of time decreasing the harsh light, deepening some shadows and gently remove some leaves near the bottom of the frame. I do love getting out and occasionally discovering lovely scenes unfolding, scenes that don;t last long, but create something special for a brief moment. Always a great day when you walk away with multiple compositions.

Up again at 4:00 am have alot of time to think about things while I'm waiting for my pain meds to kick in.
People do not seem to be concerned with the growing heroin epidemic here in the states. As people with chronic pain lose their proscription drug coverage they turn to heroin because it is a good pain reliever and readily available anywhere. Unfortunately its a sad commentary about this country and the people that control; it.

Artist: Julian Charrière "Controlled Burn"
Architect: Tadao Ando,
Langen Foundation, Neuss:
"Julian Charrière’s work addresses urgent ecological concerns, often stemming from fieldwork at signal locations such as volcanoes, glaciers, undersea, and radioactive zones. Deepening his reflections upon ideas of nature and our place therein, Controlled Burn interrogates the dark vitality of materials used for fuel: coal, petroleum, palm oil, sunshine, and more. Charrière’s speculative visions range over the fossilized life-worlds of past geological ages, as well as atmospheres saturated with the burnt residues of modernity’s excess. Controlled Burn questions humankind’s fraught grip on fire and the agency of plants in shaping planetary futures."
"Julian Charrières Arbeiten sprechen dringende ökologische Anliegen an. Ihr Ursprung liegt häufig in Feldforschungen an Signalorten wie Vulkanen, Gletschern, Ölpalmenplantagen, unter dem Meeresspiegel und in radioaktiven Gebieten. In Controlled Burn befragt der Künstler die dunkle Vitalität von Materialien, die als Brennstoff verwendet werden: Kohle, Erdöl, Palmöl, Sonnenenergie und mehr, und vertieft so sein Nachdenken über Begriffe von Natur und unseren Platz in ihr. Charrières spekulative Visionen erstrecken sich über die versteinerten Lebenswelten vergangener geologischer Zeitalter wie auch über die von den verbrannten Resten der Exzesse der Moderne gesättigten Atmosphären. Controlled Burn hinterfragt den riskanten Umgang der Menschheit mit dem Feuer und die Rolle von Pflanzen bei zukünftigen Gestaltungen des Planeten."
Indian Lake, New York. 518. Boaters enjoying perhaps a one last cruise on Indian lake near the end of Fall. I purposely deepened and darkened the colors of autumn to accentuate the richness of the Adirondacks. I wanted to create an image as if I were a artist of pigments. Standing behind my easel, smelling the colors rising from my palate, carefully blending hues.

Tierheim Berlin, Hundehaus
Architect: Dietrich Bangert
1999-2002
"The stark Corbusian modernism of Berlin’s Tierheim – “animal home” – may seem a strange stylistic choice for a building meant to shelter homeless pets.(...)
Seen from above, the fractal-like Tierheim Berlin resembles an elaborate crop circle. This sci-fi allusion makes perfect sense considering the animal shelter’s otherworldly presence in the peripheral landscape where Berlin meets rural Brandenburg. Emerging from the earth in pure geometric forms, this glass and concrete edifice embraces and augments its natural environment through careful architectural design. Left exposed to the elements for little over a decade, its raw concrete surfaces have begun to show significant signs of wear since its official opening in June 2002. Yet the building’s weathering process is not a sign of failure; it is a sign of the design’s success. Architect Dietrich Bangert was well aware that the béton brut of the Tierheim Berlin would interact ecologically to produce a patina and that the building’s integration into the landscape would only deepen with time."

Deze foto is gemaakt in Zevenhuizen.
De Molenviergang is een molengang bestaande uit vier windmolens, ten noorden van Zevenhuizen aan de Rotte.
De molens zijn gebouwd rond 1722.
De molenviergang is gebouwd voor de bemaling van de Tweemanspolder.
In 1953 kwamen de molens in bezit van de Stichting tot instandhouding van de molenviergang van de Tweemanspolder.
In 1950 is het scheprad van een van de molens vervangen door een centrifugaalpomp, die echter niet voldoet.
Door deze vervanging is een onbalans in de viergang ontstaan.
Bij een restauratie in 2009/2010 is deze molen echter weer voorzien van een iets meer verdiept scheprad, waardoor de balans weer beter is.

The Molenviergang is a mill corridor consisting of four windmills, north of Zevenhuizen aan de Rotte.
The mills were built around 1722.
The windmill fourgang was built for the drainage of the Tweemanspolder.
In 1953 the mills came into the possession of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mill Fourgang of the Tweemanspolder.
In 1950 the paddle wheel of one of the mills was replaced by a centrifugal pump, which, however, does not meet the requirements.
This replacement has created an imbalance in the four-speed.
However, during a restoration in 2009/2010, this mill was again fitted with a slightly more deepened paddle wheel, which improves the balance.

at twilight
magic is deepening
travel along the energy road
which is neither day nor night
which exists in
translucence
one can slip through
opaqueness
tiptoe upon winding violet floors
watch your shadows lengthen
until they are treetall
then you can step
from treetop to treetop
jump from shadow to shadow
roll and tumble along purpling branches
words have dripped down the tree trunks
into the roots
language is darkening silence
at twilight
magic is deepening
Sometimes you get thrown a curveball. On this morning I set out to shoot a classic image of Multnomah Falls in the fall, shot far back from the walkways. When I got there, there were now gates thanks to COVID and they did not open until 9am. 9? I need the morning light though. Ok, plan b. I have bene watching a lot of Nick Page and Fototripper videos where they challenge us all to use zoom lenses more often. So I backed out and zoomed in. Why was I there? To capture the falls and the season. So what if I moved in and shot just the falling portion of the falls and a single tree that shows the season? So this image is me stepping out of the comfort zone and trying to shoot something more elemental. This is a blend to show tonal rages to deepen the colors and the contrast.
Let me know what you think.
I come to Potawatomi Woods every morning before work and today I made a new friend and he put on a show for me :)
This place gets more beautiful as autumn deepens.

We called in at St Patrick's Boat Landing towards the southern end of the lake to get a drink and something to eat. Next to the cafe there were several small boats and canoes pulled up onto the foreshore, presumably awaiting customers.

This heavy and rusty piping placed on a barge is used to pump water-sand slush into the Rijnhaven basin to eventually fill it in. In the BG, some floating holiday rentals, called Wikkelboats. One of them is used as a business meeting facility.
As I wrote earlier, Rijnhaven is being redeveloped. This harbour was created in 1895 to offer shelter for Rhine vessels ('rijnaken'), when during the winter, these vessels could not operate due to the freezing of the rivers.
After the creation of the harbour, the transit freight traffic to Rotterdam continued to increase, and the new Rijnhaven was made suitable for large sea-going vessels by deepening it. As planned, the Rijnhaven became an important port for the transhipment of bulk goods 'on stream' - the sea-going vessels were moored on buoys, separate from the quay, and their cargo was directly moved to Rhine ships. In de 70/80s of the last century, the Rijnhaven lost its transhipment function and was brought back to its old function. In 2015, the Rhine ship berths were moved to, among others, the Maashaven. Enabling the redevelopment of the old harbour.
It will be partly (30%) filled in (pure terraforming) to enable the realization of, amongst others, an office/apartment building strip with up to 200m high edifices called the 'Skyline Posthumalaan' with an adjacent park and city beach. And there will be the floating Rijnhavenpark, too. It will be partly (30%) filled up (pure terraforming) to enable the realization of, amongst others, an office/apartment building strip with up to 200m high edifices, called the 'Skyline Posthumalaan' with an adjacent park and city beach.
This is number 11 of Rijnhaven - the redevelopment and 351 of Rotterdam harbour and industry.

A poem for you:
Pearl Fog
Open the door now.
Go roll up the collar of your coat
To walk in the changing scarf of mist.
Tell your sins here to the pearl fog
And know for once a deepening night
Strange as the half-meanings
Alurk in a wise woman's mousey eyes.
Yes, tell your sins
And know how careless a pearl fog is
Of the laws you have broken.

stepped out of my car on thursday night, about to walk into a friend's house, and the sun was right there, blazing light through the tree. iPhone camera out, point, press the shutter, make a snapshot, put it away, open it later, oh, more than a snapshot, more, smiling, crop a little, deepen the blacks, smooth the gradients in the sky ever so slightly, there.

As the morning sun entered the swamp this huge tree trunk captured my attention, The dark waters slowly gave way to wonderful reflections, the greens more yellow hues and the texture deepened. It was a magical transformation.

Perched on the south rim of the Grand Canyon, Lookout Studio appears like a natural feature in the landscape. Designed by Mary Coulter, one of our most famous Western architects, the vision for the studio was to emulate the natural scenery along the rim of the canyon. In my humble opinion, it exceeds the original expectations. Looking at it, I had the feeling that it evolved here naturally, as the canyon weathered and deepened over millions of years.

“Light rain all night. The need to keep working at meditation—going to the root. Mere passivity won’t due at this point. But activism won’t due either. A time of wordless deepening, to grasp the inner reality of my nothingness in Him Who Is. Talking about it in these terms seems absurd. Seems to have nothing to do with the concrete reality that is to be grasped. My prayer is peace and struggle in silence, to be pure and true, beyond my self, and to go outside the door of my self, not because I will it, but because I am called and must respond.”
- Thomas Merton (April 4, 1965) from A Year with Thomas Merton p. 97
Griboyedov Canal or Kanal Griboyedova(Russian: кана́л Грибое́дова) is a canal in Saint Petersburg, constructed in 1739 on the basis of the existing river Krivusha. In 1764–90, the canal was deepened, and the banks were reinforced and covered with granite.
Griboyedov Canal starts from the Moyka Rivernear the Field of Mars. It flows into the Fontanka River. Its length is 5 kilometres (3 mi), with a width of 32 metres (105 ft).
Before 1923 it was called Catherine Canal, after the empress Catherine the Great, during whose rule it was deepened. The Communist authorities renamed it after the Russianplaywright and diplomat Alexandr Griboyedov.
The canal is also considered a street; Naberezhnaya Kanala Griboyedova (The Griboyedov Canal Quay), although the St. Peterburgians just say Kanal Griboyedova, Griboyedov's Canal.
Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ and visits they are so very much appreciated.
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image)
In slow motion the drops appear,
coldly beating upon this worn facade.
Wearing away the last of all I am,
numbing me for all eternity.
A deepened muffled sound,
resonates inside my aching head.
Each minuscule chilling drop falling,
at a tempo to drive one mad.
I watch as each watery bomb,
explodes upon this damaged body.
Then slithers down till it has done all it can,
to awaken my soul from this emotional sleep.
Without passion I realise with blank stare,
a combination of water and unfamiliar tears.
Falling together, melding as one,
until it impossible to recognise
their individuality.

"Friendship makes prosperity more shining and lessens adversity by dividing and sharing it."
~ Cicero
(January 3, 106 BC – December 7, 43 BC)
When something wonderful happens to us, it may not seem real until we can tell our friends about it. Their happiness for us deepens and intensifies our pleasure.
When something bad happens to us, we search out our friends for comfort, understanding and assurance. Their sympathy eases our pain and gives us hope.
Knowing how much friendship means to us, how can we be better friends to others in their times of prosperity and adversity? I am going to try to be the best friend I can be to the people who bring so much into my life....beginning with some long overdue testimonials I need to write. I have procrastinated long enough!
Here's an interesting tidbit about rhododendrons: The world "Rhododendron" comes from the Greek words: rhodos, "rose", and dendron, "tree".
Oh.... one more thing.... has anybody had experience with Getty Images thru Flickr? They are interested in 14 of my photos.... and I'm not sure about all this... it's new to me! Please flickr mail me if you have any info regarding this.... Thanks!
Have a wonderful Tuesday, my dear friends! ♥
A quick trip to a local preserve just before sunset yesterday. Not a lot of fall color left, but what there was glowed in the late sunlight. The polarizer also helped deepen the colors.
"It's the kind of human junk that deepens the landscape, makes it sadder and lonelier and places a vague sad subjective regret at the edge of your response - not regret so much as a sense of time's own esthetic, how strange and still and beautiful a chunk of concrete can be, lived in fleetingly and abandoned, the soul of wilderness signed by men and women passing through."
— Don DeLillo

Looking at me.
I deepened tones to be a drama queen.....but it was there.
It could be friendly.......right??
Alpenglows are magnificent but the short period after alpenglow is beautiful in a different, softer way. As the sun slips down, past the horizon, and the night shadows creep slowly up the mountainside, the peaks of Mount Fisher lose their apricot hues and return to an icy blue-white. If there are no clouds, the sky behind the peaks blushes a rosy pink and then, as the sun continues its journey west, the deep blues of evening begin to appear just above the mountain snows and the pinks deepen and move higher into the sky. It's a magical transformation that holds me in awe time and time again.
