Some will say that is a mini-notkalvin, (nasty little things, some say), running across a field. The hand of [insert supreme being of choice here] reaches across to deal a mighty thwack to the back of the little dude's head.

That may be the case. but, even if it is not, we all know one thing:

There's no running in empty fields. Duh.

This beautiful old church is in the tiny village of Copper Center, Alaska. I think that the log construction is very interesting, from the foundation; to the old wooden cross on the top of the steeple.

By mid-September Doc and I remove our truck camper from the truck - winterize it - and put it under cover. Once that is done, it is time to put the two utility boxes back into the bed of the truck. Those boxes are heavy and bulky, and I worry about him wrestling them into place, with out smashing his fingers - but somehow he manages. How many other eighty six year old men do you know that could tackle those chores all alone?

. . . is another mans treasure.

(Or another woman's abstract.)

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!

Don't blame me. All I do is push the buttons.

If I put a description here, I would just be misleading you.

Merrin really liked those wings, so this is for my beautiful best friend and wife!

I had questions about the display on the opera house.

So just a bit of information about this lightshow, it is a 15 min. looping cycle of moving pictures, a bit like a movie projected onto the sails.

This is what makes it so tricky to get a decent shot of it, exposures can't be longer than half a second anything longer gets blurry. Not your normal long exposure!

Vivid Sydney will continue for another 2 weeks

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Camera in motion, capturing three lights in a candelabra. Lights, shadows, and blurs in the image were subsequently modified in Lightroom, Irfanview, and NIK software, producing a mix of electric and painterly effects.

The sun sets directly at the end of the Venice Pier on the winter solstice when this was taken. HDR from 3 exposures organized in Lightroom, tonemapped in Dynamic Photo HDR and edited with Topaz in photoshop.

From a recent trip to the Tucson Botanical Gardens, processed in GIMP and G'MIC.

African green mamba...

Having some digital fun with stock images. The shot of the green mamba was taken in Jan 2014 during a reptile exhibit at the RBG.

Throughout my city, on parking lots and in community centres, you'll find huge piles of snow that have been cleared from the streets. My guess is that this "mountain" is 15-20' feet tall. Being that it's Sliders Sunday, I added a few filters, then saturated the colours. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thank you for your views and comments, they're greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day!

Lovely view

The idea for this abstract nature image formed while manipulating another image posted earlier today (spider www.flickr.com/photos/vivid_dreams/37443059864/in/datepos...). This is a small cropped section from the lower center right of the image.

The cropped image was rotated 180 degrees, converted to monochrome which was then inverted to the negative look, pushed the contrast for better blacks and cleaned up any white spots.

It's a mystery to me.

I went outside and found the ugliest dying weed we have and photographed it from the top down. I used our colorful groundcover as a backdrop, and took the whole thing into TS. Tada! Now the ugly old thing looks kinda spiffy.

(I think the name of this ugly plant is - "Labrador Lousewort." It even has an ugly name to go with it. LOL)
