Another day on the banquise. When we came the sunshine was gone so some gloomy lighting that need a lot of postprocessing gimnastics to get some life.
I am going through the lenses I did not use for a quite while. A Jupiter 11 is one of those. A funny looking little lens from 1960. I forgot how much I like the world seen through 135mm lens. This one is quite slow, f4, but for this kind of day, some tight landscapes and portraits it is more than enough.
I just couldn't drive past that caramel light on the way home today ... so glad I stopped by Boonerah Point - Have a great weekend folks :-)
these angelic beauties migrate from coast to coast each year. at night they sleep; seen when the feelers are touching ... 🙏

Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and the United States; more specifically, between the province of Ontario and the state of New York.
Accordding to information from the Niagara Parks :-
• More than 168,000 cubic metres (6 million cubic ft.) of water go over the crestline of the Falls every minute during peak daytime tourist hours.
• The average fall from Lake Erie to the beginning of the upper Niagara Rapids is only 2.7 metres (9 ft.)
• The Canadian Horseshoe Falls drops an average of 57 metres (188 ft.) into the Lower Niagara River.
• The crest line of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls is approximately 670 metres (2,200 ft.) wide. The plunge pool beneath the Falls is 35 metres (100 ft.) deep.
This is seen from the Canadian side and from a distance.
From a distance, warblers can appear drab and unenticing. In fact, in without closer inspection they all seem brown or grey in color. But take a few moments to get a better look and many are spectacularly beautiful, like this prothonotary warbler. Getting the chance to get a closer look? Well, that can take some skill. Knowing where to look is half the battle.
A couple of kayakers heading back in give a wide berth to the sea lions on the dock.
While the dock, and thus the sea lions are no longer there, I did get some very cool pics while they were.

Over many years and countless hours spent at the beach, I've been lucky to have found a handful of these Japanese glass net floats.
They come in different sizes and colors, but the most common are about 4" in diameter and a light-green in color. The floats originate from Japan and cross many nautical miles before reaching the shores of Hawai‘i to be found by lucky beachcombers.

Choppy seas on the coastline of Whitstable as the sun sets in the distance. Whitstable is a seaside town in the Canterbury district, on the north coast of Kent.
I took this image on an isolated beach near Pescadero California. The marine layer provided the usual cloud cover along the shoreline. I could barely see a solitary figure fishing in the distance. I took a number of shots from a distance and closeup, but I liked the broader perspective of the beach and Pacific Ocean. (Edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz) Press "L" for a closer look.

Late-winter dawn light relfected in a California Central Valley pond.
This week our vocabularies expanded to include new terms, such as "social distancing." We didn't chose this scenario, but it chose us and here we are. Looking out for ourselves and the rest of human society will disrupt to our normal routines for a while. But life goes on, and part of that life for me involves photography. I know. Other things are more important. But let's leave a bit of space for activities that allow us to experience moments of normalcy in the midst circumstances that are not normal at all.
Yesterday I decided to head out to a quiet place where there would be few other people. I loaded my car with supplies so that I wouldn't have to stop along the way, headed out well before dawn, and a couple hours later I was in a familiar, quiet place. The best thing that happened? Just after I arrived, a couple of dear friends showed up, too! We elbow-bumped (another of the new social practices) and went off to photograph one more beautiful dawn.

a face rests in the middle of softness. the foreground scatters, the background dissolves. only the center holds. nothing interrupts. the shape is partial, the gaze unspoken. it is not a portrait. it is a presence, arriving through light and quiet separation.
I really like high up views. Being able to see many miles in the distance as always appealed to me. I’m fortunate that I live in an area where it’s quite easy to access long distance views. This particular view isn’t that high but I would bet that anyone who comes here would be impressed, personally I think it’s a fantastic view, it never disappoints me.
金漢星楡冷 stars were twinkling calmly in the galaxy,
銀河月桂秋 laurels were blooming in the moon.
靈姿理雲鬂 the weaver girl dressed up,
仙駕度潢流 and she started to meet the cowherd from the end of the space.
窈窕鳴衣玉 rustling sounds of her silk was like an jewel,
玲瓏映彩舟 she sparkled by her expectations on the bright ship.
所悲明日夜 but now she feels very sadness because he can't live together anymore,
誰慰別離憂 no one can solace her grief of parting.

GPW Heavyweight Title Match
Bubblegum © vs. Dirk Feelgood
Just a few months ago you'd be forgiven for taking a double take at this match. The friendship between the two former friends totally imploded with the desire to become Heavyweight champion. Refusing to accept the demise of his friendship with Dirk Feelgood, Bubblegum spent months in turmoil not wanting to retaliate to the cutting comments and brutal attacks levelled his way by former friend and champion Feelgood. As time went by however, Bubblegum eventually unloaded on Feelgood but this will be the first time the two have ever come face to face in a one on one match. And to make things just a little more interesting... it's for the GPW Heavyweight Title. Can the fairytale championship reign continue for Bubblegum, or can Dirk shatter his dreams and become the first ever 2 time Heavyweight Champ?
Tag Team Special, Skeletor vs. Stella
Lethal Dose vs. Voodoo & "Sober" Mike Holmes
Alan Alan Alan Tasker's henchmen, Lethal Dose march into battle against former stable member Mike Holmes and the man they hold responsible for Holmes' new found sobriety - Voodoo. Cyanide and Toxic hope to tempt Holmes back over to the stable that two months ago he turned his back on. They want to snap him out of the spell they accuse Voodoo of putting him under. However, Holmes seems very happy with his new outlook on life and he and Voodoo look to send Lethal Dose packing in this tag team special. Lethal Dose have warned they will not be coming to the ring alone though, with them along with their attorney and law - Alan Alan Alan Tasker will be a 12 pack of Stella. Hoping the case of beer will prove to be a bigger demon to Holmes than the tag team itself. To fend off the 12 pack, Holmes and Voodoo will have Vooodoo's trusty skull, Skeletor in their corner. An unpredictable tag team match. Can MIke Holmes stay sober? Will Voodoo's spells work? Or will Lethal Dose deliver a beating big enough to break Voodoo's spell?

Domitrescu has held onto the title since April this year with help from his fellow countrymen, but are his days numbered as champ? He surely wont be alone in this title outing and will have the Eastern Bloc close by, but can "Super" Sam Bailey overcome the odds to win his first singles gold in GPW?
And, the main event for the evening is...
GPW Tag Team Title 2/3 Falls Match
MIl-Anfield Connection © vs. Young Offenders
The heat just got turned up in this feud. The re-united Young Offenders have the most established tag team in GPW - The Mil-Anfield Connection firmly in their sights and not to mention the tag team trophy. These two teams met in September this year where there was no clear winner decided after the match ended in a draw. There will be NO excuses this time to not find a winner. This, for the first time in our history will be a 2/3 Falls Match for the tag team titles. A winner HAS to be decided, but who will it be? A truley epic encounter is in our midst as Jiggy Walker & "The Model" Danny Hope try to cling onto the championship that has defined them as a team and "Dangerous" Damon Leigh & Joey Hayes, The Young Offenders chase the title that one of the most popular tag teams in Europe have never held. Can the re-united friends overcome the well established unit that is The Mil-Anfield Connection? Or can the well oiled duo of the Mil-Anfield do what they've been doing all year and win again?
GPW British Title No.1 Contenders Match
Harry Doogle vs. Juice vs. Dylan Roberts vs. Chris Echo
After an eye catchingly good year from rookie Dylan Roberts, he has been included in this battle to earn a shot at the British Title. With a burning desire to win and the fans firmly behind him, Roberts could well mark his arrival onto the main roster by becoming the No.1 Contender and going for gold here. However, his opponents wont give him an easy ride. In a wonderful CC-08 tournament, no one impressed more than WKD's Chris Echo. Echo reached the CC-08 finals with two broken wrists and proved he is ready to take a step up. His previous attempts for British gold have been thwarted by the foreign legion numbers of the Eastern Bloc, is he ready to prove again that he is worthy of being No.1 Contender and finally lift the British title? Juice, the current CC8 champion has been as impressive as ever in singles competition this year, but can he compete in this match with 3 others all vying to be No.1 Contender? Also replacing Jervis Cottonbelly due to injury is Harry Doogle as a last minute entry could one half of the next gen score the upset win? , but with so many possible outcomes who will leave with the plaudits and go on to challenge for the British Title next year?
Lumberjack Match
Si Valour vs. Heresy
A violent and personal feud that has lasted all year long finally comes to a head in what promises to be a violent Lumberjack Match. Ever since brutalising Valour and cutting off all his hair, Heresy has, in some form or other dodged the challenge of Valour. Heresy claimed not to have lost his bottle or be running scared of the 2007 Break Out Star, yet during their Bull Rope clash at GPW: "V" where the two were tied to one another, Heresy still managed to find a way of escaping and creating distance between him and Valour. This time, in a special Lumberjack Match, no matter where either man go - there will be no escape. All lumberjacks will be at the ready to ensure neither man can escape the others clutches and a clear winner, one way or the other will HAVE to be decided. There will be nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide, no matter where they look. Heresy has been one step ahead of Valour all year, is this where he runs out of excuses, or can the master manipulator manipulate another win?
