A short distance along the southwest coastline from the exciting Los Hervideros is another natural example of the power of Mother Nature. El Golfo is a half-submerged cone of a volcano, which over time has been eroded by the sea, leaving behind only the striated wall of the crater displaying a myriad of red and russet colours.
At the foot of the crater wall is Lago Verde, a half-moon-shaped striking green lagoon filled with volcanic minerals and micro-organisms that are believed to be unique in this lake.
A beach of black volcanic pebbles, where you can look for specimens of the semi-precious olivine, superficially separates the sharply contrasting lagoon from the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, but in reality they are connected through underground passageways.
Coming from the south, the road leads you to a small car park, from where you can approach El Golfo by foot, following signs for a short walk around the headland.
A number of sheltered bays with black beaches link the lagoon with the tranquil El Golfo village, which attracts geologists and jewellery makers because of the olivine found in this area.
In addition, this small and peaceful community boasts several excellent seafood restaurants – great places to enjoy a tasty meal while enjoying a beautiful sunset and magnificent views.
I know this has been done before, but i found it exciting and so I wanted to try it myself. The little difference is that this is a composite image of three shots with different exposure times and different amount of movement for the blur when exposed. The notes on the image will tell you which part is from which exposure. I know this perhaps could've been achieved in photoshop, and much easily, but it was more for the fun of trying to perfect it myself.
Apologies for not being too regular with your work. Work was pretty stressful this week. I'll be catching up with most of your posts soon.
Thanks to all of you for your time, comments and favs. Truly appreciated..

This is my first lightning photo, about two years since I move to my new home here in Shah Alam, Selangor. I try this angle (from kitchen window) a couple of shots before change to better position or angle to shoot the lightning (from my room window). This shot are from 3 shot stack together. Please ignore the mop head and flag pole on the bottom right. :)
Probably not, the sparrow is waiting for the grackle to finish before having a bite to eat.

Mutual distancing. I spent a long time hoping that the red admiral would open his wings, but this is the best he did.
Christmas was great but reality is that COVID will only get worse over the next few months. Stay safe, stay distant when you can and WEAR A DAMN MASK.
Migrating Turkey Vultures following those guidelines .... they could teach some people a thing or 2.

Serene photos to relax you as you go through this global pandemic. Stay safe and healthy, my friends.
My first attempt at processing a black and white image.
I studied a few tutorials and then looked in my archives for a suitable image with an interesting sky and definite blacks, whites and a range of greys. This image was taken on a country road in southern Washington State, USA during a Road Trip we took a few years ago. I liked the way the line of white wind turbines meandered off into the distance accompanied by a heavily oiled black road and wheat fields. The sky was interesting and changed shape as it receded to the horizon.
