Skogafoss, Iceland.
Late evening direct sunlight created a rainbow right in front of the Skogafoss waterfall in Iceland. You could spend hours shooting nature abstracts. This is just one example of everchanging and fleeting scenes.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
The constantly moving clouds and fog made for an everchanging interplay of light and dark as we cruised through Paradise Bay in Antarctica.

This shot comes from my archives dating from Summer 2015, when we had a vacation in Catalunya (Calella and Barcelona). My sunrise session at Cala de la Vinyeta was coming to an end; the sun was slowly rising above the horizon, just beyond the rocks - those Maresme pink granite rocks which slowly turns into a beautiful grainy, rosy sand. I had overlooked this shot because… well, I have no idea why. The relevant thing is that I have unearthed it now, mainly because of the curvy, sparkling line painted by the backwash on the seashore. An everchanging path towards the light springing from the horizon. A memento of what my life shoud be: a journey from darkness towards the light. Since this is the (highly non-linear) journey of a lifetime, I am – or should be – humbly along the way. However just now you and I are fellow travellers, and I feel that the best thing I can do for you, just now, is to share this path of light.
Before the usual notes about processing (sorry, being one of the strange beasts librarians are I somehow must describe the process behind the photo), I have to tell you that I have played with some unusual, precious features of an unusual, precious free program called Chasys Draw IES Artist by John Paul Chatcha. Very interesting features indeed; just as an example, I have tried “heuristic rescaling” and in a flash I have got a 2x2 high quality enlargement of my original image (from 4946x3280 px to 9892x6560 px). What I have actually implemented in this picture, as an experiment asking for your potential criticism, is “smart resize”, which allows to change the proportions of the frame from 3:2 to 16:9 in… well, in a smart way (e.g. I selected the cliff on the left to have it retaining its original proportions) ;-)
Although I must state that this program cannot possibly supersede the Gimp in my workflow, I warmly advice you to try the “special” features of Chasys Draw IES Artist.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds good results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. Here I have blurred a bit the inverted Blue channel layer.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable (I am trying experimenting with RawTherapee, but in no satisfactory way for now). Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by luminance).

"See the clouds adrift so far below. Everchanging as they come and go" - David Gates
Back at the everchanging Rollins Ave. My last posting of this locale was back in January of 2018, and I went in depth about the rearrangement of this overall area of the Midway Sub. That shot still showed the Bunge Elevator, but this go around I bring you the newly developed condos. The silos were knocked down, but the head house was retained as you can probably decipher.
Three rebuilt Geeps go about their pickup at the UP's East Minneapolis Yard before heading for Cedar Lake.
The fascinating side to macro photography is scenes or compositions can last just hours or sometimes only minutes. As we rush by nature just seems to be there but if you look closely it is always on the move, everchanging...
All hands on deck! The Mystic Realms is such a wide and magical plane that the cold weather faeries and creatures can use an extra help to welcome the changes of Winter!

Cloud Suite by David Gates
See the clouds adrift so far below
Everchanging as they come and go
Makes me wonder why I'm up so high
When really I am down so low
Of all the wonders I was one allowed
I think that I would always choose a cloud
Always brings my feelings right out loud
Whether I'm ashamed or proud
On this airplane comin' home to you
Sometimes I think I've flown my whole
life through
My whole life... through
As I wing my way to you
See the clouds they're giving life below
In colors that the canvas cannot show
Keeping secrets no one else could know
For I'm the one who told them so
Now and then I get up close to you
I'd like to stay but I'm just passing through
So I'll have to say goodbye...
Until next time I fly.
(interlude)
Make my bed-light the light
Comin' in on the midnight flight
Touch the ground and soon you will be
Safe inside reality
Change your mind-change your name
Still the music it sounds the same
Rainfall don't bother me at all
You see the world reflected on the highway
Come on rainbow-I can't let you go
Before I reach the end of you someway
So the next time raindrops fall
If it makes you climb the walls just think
of green.
Issyk-kul, Kyrgyzstan
I am always fascinated by water. Be it seashore, reflections, waterfalls or lake. Or just looking from the bridge at the everchanging web and flow of current running over the stones. Mesmerizing.
The everchanging weather conditions on the Lofoten islands gave possibilities for photography all the time. For a moment these rays were visible here, until the clouds had moved too much and gave way to whatever was coming next.
Right now the islands are completely snowed in after a year's load of snow came down in one weekend! They are still clearing the roads and investigating all the avalanche-risks everywhere!

A glimpse of England's deepest lake from the mountain of Yewbarrow on a misty day in the Lake District last month. It was beautiful watching the everchanging mist reveal glimpses of the surrounding landscape, before concealing the view again moments later. This was taken near the summit looking back down the ridge I'd ascended, with Illgill Head and Wast Water beyond.
Having checked the forecast, I was hoping for a nice sunset in the Western Fells, so headed down to Wasdale as there are a few hills and mountains there which are perfect at this time of year. However, when I arrived there the mist was very low and it was drizzling profusely, but I decided to crack on anyway. I opted for Yewbarrow, as it offers amazing views and is lower than alot of the surrounding mountains - so it thought it would have a better chance of clearing out.
The ascent was treacherous as the rocks were slippery and lethal, so when I made it up to Bell Rib point above the steepest part I decided to wait around before I continued as the mist was very thick at this point. This was where it all began to change for the better as the view slowly started revealing itself, so I dashed up the final part of the ridge towards the summit and captured this view back down to Wast Water as the lake made a brief appearance. It was difficult to photograph as, although it was very calm, it was still drizzling quite heavily at this point so I had to keep wiping the lens which was wet and constantly steaming up.
Not long after this picture was taken, the mist concealed the vista again.....but I was treated to many more glimpses and views along the rest of the walk. I spent so long photographing on the summit ridge that I ended up descending in the dark with a headtorch!
Ok it's not red sandstone and it's not John Wayne's point in Monument Valley but Bardenas desert in northern Spain is awesome.
It's a little bit of Death Valley, mixed with some Painted Desert, seasoned with Badland's sun. It's amazing how the landscapes change fast there : hikes topography and map from a few years ago were completely outdated, no more path, new sandwaves, crambled stairs. An everchanging place. Quiet, Isolated, a perfect place to get away for a week end and to get back to nature. With its pros... And cons. Because yes, you can get sunburnt in late september and yes mosquitoes are still out there !
Hope you'll like it ! I had a hard time editing it for posting : it looked overly satured on Lightroom but appeared horribly under-saturated on tablet or smarpthone so hopefully this version will suit your screen !
Feel fre to like comment and share guys ! ;)
The Pinnacles Desert, Western Australia
As the sands of this coastal desert move with the wind, they expose buried limestone pillars, of different sizes, shapes and some up to 11 feet high. Over time, new Pinnacles emerge and others are buried, in this everchanging landscape
Everchang Brooklyn waterfront, and the old Domino Sugar Refinery opened in 1882, sweetness did one exist in Brooklyn
Torres de Paine, Patagonia, Chili.
Evening sun breaks through the everchanging cloud formations to illuminate peaks of the Torres de Paine in Chilean Patagonia. The mountains are famous for its cloud action. Just sit there and wait for the light show to appear.
Sorry for my rather long absence from Flickr, my friends... So much work and personal vicissitudes have drained my energies. Sadly, I cannot promise that I will try and catch up, since I am still in that situation. Nevertheless, I'll try.
It looked like that early November morning's efforts were to be wasted, but there always is hope, after all - a lesson we should treasure in those dark times. After all, the magic of our RAW files and postprocessing can dramatically overturn our perception of a photo.
This is my favourite location, a peaceful spot downstream the eastern arm of the lake Como, where the river Adda flows in lazy meanders hugging a wetland in the process. Even being so close to a main road and to several towns, this place is so peaceful and remote from the busy life of the world all around it - on very early mornings, at least. An oasis, a secret garden. A somehow mysterious land of deep peace, light, and everchanging mists. However on that morning there was an unusual hustle and bustle of people running, strolling, photographing - an effect of the long, dark lockdowns. I tried to shoot hoping that a bit of post-processing magic could infuse life in my apparently wasted shots. So here it is this new image of mine, emerging from the flat, almost lifeless five shots of an exposure bracketing, celebrating a deep, amazing truth: the whole can be more beautiful than the sum of its parts. Long, careful work lays behind this seemingly little miracle, of course: you must apply energy to the system in order to increase the level of beauty in the world, against the natural, blind tendency towards ever-increasing universal ugliness (as stated by the 3rd law of beautydynamics). I hope that you enjoy this image and that it can somehow uplift your spirits and foster your own efforts in making beauty and harmony emerge in this dark, troubling world.

I have obtained this picture by blending a 5-exposure bracketing [-2.0/-1.0/0/+1.0/+2.0 EV] by luminosity masks with the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing, improving the refkections of the sky in the foreground. I have painted some tiny bits of the inverted blue channel layer here an there to highlight several precious detail of the scene.

Just a few weeks ago this area was covered in sand, but the waves have carried it somewhere else. The green mossy substance grows where the sand used to be. Part of the everchanging coastine.
Cliff faces in southern Gran Canaria captured from the viewpoint Degollada des la Yegua. The everchanging evening light and cloud made for some interesting colours and patterns in both rocks and sky.

4 year old Andreas (he of "watching the birds' pic) is computer literate. He's not into games. He expores the galaxy, the atlas, music & more. He introduced me to the fabulous Brit performer Beth Gibbons by directing me to Portishead's "roseland NYC live" video on YouTube. He was leaving Friday evening for Brazil for 6 months so I went to see him intending to take a few last pics. He was playing Hooverphonic on CD & had the visualizer going on the computer screen. When I pulled out my camera he said "Take a picture of that" pointing to the screen. These are some of the results. I thought it an inspired suggestion. I will miss him greatly. I may have to go to Brazil :-)

Cottonwood Church
Hill County
Montana
While riding in the car watching the vast everchanging skies of Montana, I had a powerful moment. I envisioned being dropped off in the middle of this sea of undulating plains, alone. A tent with days to burn. All of the noise in my head finally diminishes. No T.V., phone, radio, etc... Eventually the rhythms of the earth and weather start teaching you things that can't be defined. Things that can only be soaked in. A human out here is but a speck and these immense spaces are humbling.
This is one of several you will see of this church. I usually like to sum a place up in a single frame, but we seen some incredible weather and this site has several distinct compositions. A lso I didn't dodge behind the church, its just the rain thinning. One of those things that bug me later. Flickr has also made this darker and I tire of trying to re-edit to improve for Flickr.

ODC-After & Before
Tree-mendous Tuesday
It was so pretty this morning at the Golden hour, then the sky clouded over. Then it got beautifully warm and sunny, then clouded over and started to rain, then it got sunny and then cloudy, now it's sunny again! It's been a dynamic weather day! I took a photo of the same spot, except I reversed the left photo so I could connect the two by the tree in the middle.
SETAGAYPARK - Japanese Garden in Vienna-Austria
Setagayapark was designed 1922 by landscape gardener Ken Nakajima from Japan. Twincity and cultural agreements have existed for many years between Vienna's Döbling district and Setagaya, a suburb of Tokyo. The park was laid out near a retirement home. Setagayapark emulates a Japanese landscape with several ponds and streams, and it contains the densely-planted garden elements that are typical of Japanese gardens. There is a Japanese tea house, a "Yukimi style" stone lantern, several stone sculptures and a fountain, as well as a poem set in stone at the entrance to the garden. The interesting plantings with Japanese maple, ornamental cherry trees and moor bedding plants such as azaleas are particularly noteworthy. The rich variety of plants creates an everchanging display of blossom and transformations from season to season. The purpose of this design is that "people should observe this work of art in tranquillity and try to find their own inner peace."
Here's an image from (in my humble opinion) one of France's most impressive peaks, not so much in terms of height, but the sheer amount of waterfalls that comes down from this makes it a real sight to behold. Also, not long after taking this, an insanely loud rumbling sound filled the valley, and I could just see some huge rocks and debris on the other side come down. Definitely reminded me of the unknowns and dangers of the mountains and how these landscapes are ever evolving, a process that can move both slowly, over hundreds of thousands of years - or in the blink of an eye.
There are 2 things that really stick out in my mind when I think of the Alvord and those are it's marvelous and everchanging mudcracks and the incredibly massive Steens Mountain. On my first night of my 4 day trip I was rewarded for driving hours across the state with a beautiful and clear night sky which was unexpected as I had this trip planned for a year and weather in the PNW spring is very volatile. When I arrived at my spot and saw there was water on the ground I knew I had to try to get the arch of the milkyway reflected in the water surrounding the mudcracks. Off into the mud I strode until the textures appeared to change and reveal more of a reflection of the stars. I won't lie up and down were hard to distinguish once I got into the deeper end and it was slightly disorienting holding all my camera gear while trying to decipher what I was seeing. After recouping I leveled the tripod legs and ballhead and took 3 shots for each of the 20 panels of this panorama making it a total accumulation of 60 images. My favorite part of this image is the transition of mud cracks and their depth with the water. You can see the change in depth as you look left where the mud was slightly submerged and to the right you can see how they weren't yet completely covered. Hope you enjoy!
Kimmeridge Bay on the jurassic Dorset coast. Hunting for fossils here can be fun as well.

While watching the beautiful sunrise on August 4, 2024, 6:09 a.m., I took this picture.
As seen in Explore!
There isn't a lot of standing water in the arid middle of the continent, so whenever I am elsewhere - such on the west coast - I look for reflections in water and try to do something interesting with them. I was down on the docks in Sooke, on southern Vancouver Island, when I noticed these reflections. Sooke Basin is a large inlet where the salt water pours in from Juan de Fuca Strait via a narrow channel that is navigable by fishing boats.
There was a gentle ripple on the water surface, so the reflections of the dock I was shooting from were shimmering in constant movement. It changed from second to second, so I just shot lots of frames and hoped for the best. Water always inspires me to throw realism to the wind and just shoot from the heart.

I enjoyed looking through my windows this morning to see the everchanging sky and how the sunlight kissed the buildings and trees in my Humber Bay Shores neighbourhood.
Thanks for visiting, good morning to each of you. Stay safe and healthy. #BeKind
This image was inspired by car journeys, work, satnavs and contstant gridlock!! In the UK car journeys are often so dangerous and unbearably slow that you regularly find yourself arriving late even though you start out extra early, to give time for unforseen (but inevitable) consequenses. Many days are spent in gridlock; we become cyborgs, anonymous, stressed and dependent on "schizophrenic" computerised voices emanating, often erroneously from clunky, electronic maps.
However, the human spirit seems unquoshable, bearing these motorised gladiatorial contests and spurious deadlines. Our motivations and creativity (whether vicarious or carthartic) spur us on through hypereal "portals" and everchanging landscapes to arrive, stressed but motivated and polite, ready for work and its comparitive tranquility!
Thank you to XstockX fo allowing me to use her photos in this image :-)
