I crushed my flimsy water bottle up and threw it in the trash. Before I closed the lid, I noticed it was reflecting the colors of the objects beneath it. Since it caught my attention, I thought I'd grab a quick shot and see what fun I could have with it in Topaz.

Tada!

One of my personal favourites of the Opera house series, just to break it up a bit.

We spent the long weekend in Sydney to see The 'Vivid Sydney" light show this year.

What can I say! What a spectacular show.

If you have a chance to go, this is a must see event if you in or around Sydney at the time.

For more information see : www.vividsydney.com/

The projected images are constantly moving and it is quite a challenge to get it right.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for looking

About 30 percent of my photos can be re-rippled to the point where I finally like their abstract-worthiness (even the photos I absolutely hate, originally!). :D

... the overpowering sense of isolation felt and needed when faced with the loss of a loved one.

The silhouette is from an image dating back to 2015 of someone alone at the edge of a pier shrouded in fog and whom later on I found out she was grieving the sudden loss of a close friend.

As with all my work, all images used are my own.

The hardy people that choose to live in bush Alaska often have to become like MacGyver, and at any given moment, jerry-rig anything that has broken. That is the reason you see a lot of what the average person would call "junk" - laying around outside of a remote cabin or home. You can't just jump in a car and go to the local hardware store, as it may be a couple of hundred miles away. (As it is in the case of this homesteader.)

On the other hand - what do you do with an old car or large home appliance that has quit working when you live off grid? There are a lot of puzzles like the ones I have mentioned, that have to be solved when living remotely. What would you do?

*(Notice the old truck parked down in the right hand corner of the photo? Old vehicles always capture my attention.)
