Paper thin petals tinged by colour....pretty little things :)

This one had only begun to open when I got it. Now it's fully open and looks so delicate and such a pale Yellow.

Before going I had already previsualized the shot of the Delicate arch with the warm light from the sunset hitting the rock. I was so busy taking pictures in another part of the park that I was running out of time.

To get to the Delicate arch on time, I ran the 1.5 miles from the car park. I was too late, and the sun was behind clouds with no sunlight hitting the arch. I was frustrated as this was my final sunset in arches national park. I took a few shots of the sunset - it was okay, but not ideal. I thought I might aswell stay until after sunset to see what happens. As soon as the sun was gone so were all the other tourists and photographers - except me and 2 other photographers from the US.

They had just bought a Brinkmann max million flashlight at walmart to try lightpainting for the first time. I haden't bothered bringing mine as I didn't plan for shooting after the sunset. They asked me if I had light painted before, and I gave them some tips. The guy that wasn't into photography was the "painter" and the two others + myself were taking the pictures while he was painting. I thought the light painted photo was much more exciting and different then anything I had previsualized.

I have seen a lot of beautiful landscapes, but I must say that arches national park is one of the most stunning and interesting places I have photographed.

Koga Fireworks Festival

The delicate fireworks is possible to capture

by the short exposure.

So I sometimes composite 2 or 3 shots for fireworks.

Más de 2000 arcos hay documentados en el Parque Nacional de los Arcos, pero todos nos vamos a ver y fotografiar los mismos, por lo que me he tenido que tirar un buen rato clonando gente :)

Arches NP Utah

Delicate Arch is featured on the Utah state licence plates.

I returned home yesterday from my first trip to the USA southwest. I especially enjoyed hiking and sightseeing in Arches National Park in Utah. The most difficult thing about getting this photograph was finding a break in the steady parade of people taking selfies inside the arch, but finally it was clear of people for a few moments!!

Wanted to share another image from the musical instrument macro photography class that I recently attended. It's back to the violin again, which turned out to be my favorite subject of the afternoon.

I've always had an affinity for string instruments, especially after playing the cello for a number of years -- admittedly that was a quite a long time ago. Still have an appreciation for their sounds though, even all these years later.

An adventure up at the Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. Hike up to this spot around sunset times and waited there for a good 5-6 hours for the milkyway to show up. And another hour or so before it gets just a little above Delicate Arch. Meet a new friend Sean, who is very knowledgable on astronomy. Had some great time with him that night chatting and learning a lot about the night skies from him.

This was captured by the end of my stay from that night. And was having some trouble hike back to the parking lot in the dark after this.

Delicate Ach, Arches National Park, Utah.

Day 1, Image 1, Polaroidweek: Most of my instants this week will be from a trip I did last week to Moab, Utah. First thing Monday morning involved a hike to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, where I found Nashville singer-songwriter Erica Sunshine Lee doing a YouTube video shoot in fancy boots and fancy dress with a guitar she hauled up the trail! Happy Polaroidweek!

Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, located in the eastern part of the country along the banks of the Kura River. The city has a rich history that spans over 1,500 years and has been influenced by various cultures and civilizations over the centuries. The old part of Tbilisi, known for its charming architecture and unique atmosphere, is one of the most fascinating areas of the city. One of the most striking features of this area is the traditional houses with wooden balconies. These wooden balconies, often adorned with intricate carvings, are a significant element of Tbilisi's urban aesthetic and culture. This old Tbilisi, also known as the Old Town or Dzveli Tbilisi, is one of the oldest parts of the city and has a rich history dating back to the 5th century. Over the centuries, Tbilisi has been influenced by Persian, Byzantine, Arab, and Russian cultures, which is evident in its diverse architectural styles. The houses with wooden balconies are typical of Tbilisi's traditional architectural style and reflect both Georgian and Persian influences. Perched on a steep hill overlooking Tbilisi’s Old Town and the Mtkvari River, Narikala Fortress is one of the city’s most iconic and historic landmarks. Dating back to the 4th century, this ancient fortress has seen the rise and fall of empires and has been a silent guardian of Tbilisi for centuries. Narikala’s origins date back to the founding of the city itself, with the first fortifications believed to have been built by the Persians in the 4th century. Over the centuries, the fortress was expanded and strengthened by various ruling powers, including the Umayyads in the 7th century, the Mongols in the 12th century, and later by Georgian kings. Within Narikala’s walls, you’ll find the restored St. Nicholas Church, originally built in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 1990s. The church’s interior is decorated with frescoes depicting scenes from Georgian history and the Bible. Visitors can reach the fortress by taking a scenic walk through the old town or by taking the modern cable car from Rike Park.

Narikala Fortress, perched on a steep hill overlooking the old town of Tbilisi and the Mtkvari River, is one of the city's most iconic and historic landmarks. This ancient fortress, dating back to the 4th century, has witnessed the rise and fall of empires and has been a silent guardian of Tbilisi for centuries. The old part of Tbilisi below the fortress, with its characteristic houses featuring wooden balconies, offers a fascinating insight into the history and culture of the city. The baths in the city centre are an important historical and cultural attraction. These baths, known as the sulphur baths, have characteristic domed roofs, which are partly underground to keep the heat inside. Historically, the baths played an important role as social meeting places. People came here not only to bathe, but also to talk, relax and do business. These charming architectural elements are a must-see for anyone who wants to experience Tbilisi's rich traditions and unique heritage.

Tbilisi is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Georgië, gelegen in het oosten van het land aan de oevers van de rivier de Koera. De stad heeft een rijke geschiedenis die meer dan 1.500 jaar teruggaat en heeft door de eeuwen heen vele invloeden ondergaan van diverse culturen en beschavingen. Het oude gedeelte van Tbilisi, bekend om zijn charmante architectuur en unieke sfeer, is een van de meest fascinerende delen van de stad. Een van de meest opvallende kenmerken van dit gebied zijn de traditionele huizen met houten balkonnetjes. Deze houten balkons, vaak versierd met delicate houtsnijwerken, zijn een belangrijk element van de stedelijke esthetiek en cultuur van Tbilisi. Oorspronkelijk dienden deze balkons praktische doelen, zoals het bieden van extra leefruimte en het creëren van schaduw tijdens de warme zomers, maar tegenwoordig zijn ze vooral een esthetisch en cultureel kenmerk van de stad. De baden in het centrum zijn een belangrijke historische en culturele trekpleister. Deze baden, vooral bekend als de zwavelbaden en hebben kenmerkende koepelvormige daken, die deels ondergronds zijn om de warmte binnen te houden. Historisch gezien speelden de badhuizen een belangrijke rol als sociale ontmoetingsplaatsen. Mensen kwamen hier niet alleen om te baden. Het Narikala-fort, gelegen op een steile heuvel met uitzicht op de oude stad van Tbilisi en de Mtkvari-rivier, is een van de meest iconische en historische bezienswaardigheden van de stad. Dit oude fort, dat dateert uit de 4e eeuw, heeft de opkomst en ondergang van rijken meegemaakt en is al eeuwenlang een stille bewaker van Tbilisi. De oorsprong van Narikala gaat terug tot de oprichting van de stad zelf, met de eerste vestingwerken waarvan men denkt dat ze in de 4e eeuw door de Perzen zijn gebouwd. Door de eeuwen heen werd het fort uitgebreid en versterkt door verschillende heersende machten, waaronder de Omajjaden in de 7e eeuw, de Mongolen in de 12e eeuw en later door de Georgische koningen. Binnen de muren van Narikala vindt u de gerestaureerde St. Nicholas Church, oorspronkelijk gebouwd in de 12e eeuw en herbouwd in de jaren 90. Het interieur van de kerk is versierd met fresco's die scènes uit de Georgische geschiedenis en de Bijbel afbeelden. Bezoekers kunnen het fort bereiken door een mooie wandeling door de oude stad te maken of door de moderne kabelbaan te nemen vanaf Rike Park.

I couldn't really think of any adjective other than "delicate" to describe this scene. Overgradation and manipulation would have destroyed it so what you see here is more or less straight out of the camera. The only thing I had to correct was a slightly wonky horizon.
