After a very long period of grey, the clouds finally cleared for one happy day, to be too quickly replaced by more grey today. There is nothing quite like a sunny winter day's blue and white in a pristine environment...a sense I first experienced and remember well from my skiing days in Colorado. No mountains here but pristine nonetheless. (SOOC)

Yesterday morning I experienced dense fog over the Moselle instead of the expected sunrise. So for a change there is a different morning mood than usual.
Gestern Morgen erlebte ich statt des erwarteten Sonnenaufgangs dichten Nebel über der Mosel. So gibt es zur Abwechslung mal eine andere Morgenstimmung wie sonst gewohnt.

Another photo of the special sunrise I recently experienced at the Quitzdorf reservoir in Saxony. The colors and mood are so completely different from what I'm usually used to from a sunrise.
That's because of the dome of Saharan dust that hung over the country that day, filtering almost every color out of the light except yellow.
Of course, this doesn't make the photo really spectacular, but it's definitely something special. Best of all, the haze in the air allowed me to get an enlarged shot of the sun without overexposure. You can see the results here shortly.
Ein weiteres Foto von dem besonderen Sonnenaufgang, den ich kürzlich am Stausee Quitzdorf in Sachsen erleben konnte. Die Farben und die Stimmung sind so völlig anders, als ich es normalerweise von einem Sonnenaufgang gewohnt bin.
Das liegt an der Kuppel aus Saharastaub, die an diesem Tag über dem ganzen Land gelegen hat und die außer gelb so gut wie alle Farben aus dem Licht gefiltert hat.
Dadurch wird das Foto natürlich nicht wirklich spektakulär doch es ist sicherlich etwas Besonders. Das Beste daran war, dass der Schleier in der Luft es mir ermöglicht hatte eine vergrößerte Aufnahme der Sonne zu machen, ohne dass es zu einer Überbelichtung gekommen ist. Das Ergebnis seht ihr hier in Kürze.

Business has been slow, so I didn't have to work today. I took a drive to the hill country looking for something to photograph. I got a few I liked and than the sun was just too bright and everything starting looking ugly..:)
Early in the morning on May 24, during the 2015 Texas–Oklahoma floods, the Blanco River experienced catastrophic flooding. The river at Wimberley rose more than 30 feet in less than three hours, and set a new record high crest of more than 40 feet while disabling the gauge.
Rainfall totals of 10 to 13 inches were reported upstream in southern Blanco County, and all of this water entered the Blanco River and Little Blanco River. The Fischer Store Rd. bridge over the Blanco River was destroyed by flood waters west of Wimberley. The Blanco River, down stream from the bridge, at Wimberley reached a record crest. The gauge failed at 40 feet and the USGS later estimated the crest at 44.9 feet with peak flow of 175,000 cubic feet per second (5,000 m3/s). This height was more than 10 feet over the previous record height of 33.3 feet from 1929. Homes along the banks of the Blanco River from the City of Blanco, through Wimberley, and down to San Marcos experienced an historic flood. Many homes were totally destroyed and swept down stream. Many homes were struck by large debris, including full size cypress trees which typically lined the banks of the river.
Experienced one of the worst weathers in recent summers in Iceland that day with extremely windy conditions and heavy rain. Captured this from the viewpoint at Hraunfossar Lava Falls.
Hraunfossar - Lava Falls - are beautiful and unusual natural phenomena. Clear, cold springs of subterranean water seep through the lava and run as tiny waterfalls and rapids into the Hvita River.
At Eeersterivier, we experienced very high winds and of course equally high seas. Climbing down by the band of rocks which acts as a barrier between the beach and the sea, I had to make a quick getaway, but not before managing this shot!

When I recently spent a weekend in Prague, I experienced and captured many great moments. But there was exactly one that led me to the beautiful city on the river Vltava and that was this one.
I once wished, if only for a few minutes, to stand completely alone on the famous Charles Bridge. A bridge that is crossed by thousands of people every day in a city that never really comes to a rest.
And indeed I succeeded. After I had to wait a bit until the last party-goers had more or less straightforward crossed the river on their way to bed, I was the only one. What a great feeling.
It really didn't take very long until the first photographer (the first one after me) joined me and the moment was over. But these few minutes are now mine forever.
Als ich kürzlich ein Wochenende in Prag verbrachte, habe ich viele tolle Momente erlebt und festgehalten. Doch es gab genau einen, der mich in die wunderschöne Stadt an der Moldau geführt hat und das war dieser hier.
Ich habe mir gewünscht einmal, wenn auch nur für ein paar Minuten, völlig allein auf der berühmten Karlsbrücke zu stehen. Einer Brücke, die täglich von tausenden Menschen überquert wird in einer Stadt die nie wirklich zur Ruhe kommt.
Und tatsächlich ist es mir gelungen. Nachdem ich etwas warten musste, bis die letzten Partybesucher auf dem Weg ins Bett mehr oder weniger geradlinig die Fluß überquert hatten, war ich der einzige. Ein grandioses Gefühl.
Es dauerte auch wirklich nicht sehr lange, bis der erste Fotograf (also der erste nach mir) sich zu mir gesellte und der Moment vorbei war. Doch diese wenigen Minuten, gehören nun für immer mir.

Well what an incredible sunrise me and my three clients experienced this morning on my one day autumnal Lake District workshop at Windermere.
We were driving en-route to Rydal to shoot the tree when the colours in my minibus wing mirrors lit up with stunning pinks and blues. Without hesitation I decided to park up at Waterhead and walk down towards Holme Crag. It was an inspired choice due to the copious amounts of beautiful little boats that made for great subjects. Here's one such boat that enjoyed being surrounded by the mist that rolled on the surface of the water.
HUGE thanks to Carl, Dave and Dean for their company today. It was a really enjoyable day's photography and a quick hi to Chris Sale, a YouTube vlogger who I bumped into on the shoreline of Rydal mid-morning. It was great to chat with you Chris.
You can follow Chris's YouTube channel here and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to his channel if you like what you see. www.youtube.com/channel/UCaR849-KG86v4UgD52PLT4g

Sunrise Over Goscar Rock and Tenby, Pembrokeshire
Yesterday's sunrise over Tenby was absolutely stunning. Finally after twelve days on the road, I experienced a bit of colour and what a bit of colour it was too.
The tide was outgoing with left some part of the beach devoid of footprints bar the odd jogger and dog walker. The colours were stunning and built within a few minutes. Tenby is quite an elevated town and this allows for a wonderful position to photograph the harbour and Goscar Rock on the beach.
I used a Kase 10 Stop ND filter to slow the shutter speed down enough to smooth out the water, which on this occasion worked a treat. The clouds were moving very slowly so they appeared not to be been affected from the thirty second exposure time.
I shall return to Tenby in the future and see what other delights await but for now, I am delighted with how this turned out. I hope that you enjoy it too.

On the Isle of Lewis, we experienced the Stones of Callanish. Thirteen standing stones form a circle about 13 m in diameter, with a long avenue of stones to the north, and shorter stone rows to the east, south, and west. The site is thought to have been constructed about 5000 years ago. The light on this photo emphasized the shadows, shapes, and textures of the stones.
2020 Lamborghini Adventador SVJ Coupe
With wild-looking bodywork and dramatic performance, the 2020 Lamborghini Aventador is spectacular in every sense of the word. It's also the last of a dying breed, with hybrid technology expected to enhance future iterations of the V-12 supercar. Still, this wedge-shaped, scissor-doored Lambo blasts into the sunset with neck-snapping acceleration and a maniacal exhaust note.
The 2020 Aventador powertrain hierarchy begins with a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 that develops 730 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque that is transmitted to the wheels via a seven-speed automated-manual transmission. This basic setup is shared among the three distinct variants, but the track-focused SVJ (which stands for Superveloce Jota) has various enhancements that unlock extra horsepower and torque that meet the pavement through all four wheels. We drove this brutally powerful monster—along with its roofless counterpart—and experienced their tremendous acceleration and kidney-crushing cornering forces firsthand. The hefty machines heaved through the corners, but their incredible grip and rear-steering system helped it change direction.

THE SWEETEST TABOO - SADE
FEAR/TEMOR
Standing by and letting me float free
you stand so close; I can taste your breath
my heart is racing, but my soul is slow
I am running to nowhere until I hit the wall
You play to me late into the night
you listen to me singing all day long
we hold each other so distantly
both scared to run to where we can't hide
let me closer into your arms
wrap me with love and tender kisses
walk out with me; tell me all you know
and dance me to the golden hour
I don't think it at all possible
to fall in love and remain as friends
so I let you walk alone on your reconfigured journey
it's the only way this will always end
I can write and re-write every tiny detail
but it will always play out just like this
we had a good run for all this time
but it could never be ended so simply with a lover's kiss
So you walk off like a cowboy into the sunset
and I'll drive alone along parallel lines
you take the right road, it's the right road for you
and I'll take what's left of the setting sun
The power lines above us are filled with energy
I can feel the tingling in my head
but they can't raise the flatness all around us
or erase the memories of the things we said
Fear is something that I learned from the age of seven,
do you remember that day, the day I drowned
I knew then what I'll always know
when something's lost, it can never be re-found
What you've got to do is create
your own sweet reality within your pure but burgeoning mind
nothing and no-one can take this from you
so you learn to be cruel just to be kind
You'll be ok; I know you'll make it
you're not so lost you can't be found
but what love has taught me; I know that life has brought me
the imagination and strength to stand my ground

Melbourne experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which then became the wettest spring ever recorded. Now however, it seems that summer has finally arrived, albeit late, with glorious days of summer sunshine that bring out beautiful blooms on all the flowers.
This includes my "Nahema" rose in my rear garden which grows by my back terrace. My garden is quite shady, but it does live in a spot where it gets afternoon sun.
"Nahema" was bred by Georges Delbard, in France, from "Grand Siecle" and "Heritage" in 1991 and released in France in 2006. "Nahema" has established a reputation as one of the best fragrant climbers on the market. It produces masses of highly fragrant and deeply cupped old-fashioned blooms with velvety petals of delicate almond blossom pink. This rose blooms in profusion throughout the season with a strong perfume of citrus, peach, apricot, pear and rose. The renowned perfume of the Guerlain range of perfumes is based on the essence of this rose.

I experienced a beautiful sunrise at Lake Sempach. The sun rose brightly in front of me and a small mist shone like pure gold. I turned and noticed that amazing pink sky behind me. It had significantly more color than against the sun. It's worth changing your perspective.

I was uninspired trying to come up with something interesting for this theme until I looked in my "Measure & Level" drawer and found a couple old rulers that have obviously been around for a while.
The green smear of paint on the top ruler was my grandfather's tool color and the one on the bottom is actually stamped "Made in the U.S.A."-- very uncommon these days.
Anyway, Happy Macro Monday everyone! :)

we experienced this amazing thunderstorm late night while being at Sandvika bay of the Lofoten islands with special light conditions due to the Nordic "Midnight sun". It was just amazing.
Melbourne has experienced a wonderful Indian summer this year, and as a result, not only are the Autumnal colours starting to appear, but there are still plenty of beautiful blooms.
I spotted these "Red Cherry" French Marigolds on a walk. They stood out against their green backdrop with their showy red and orange petals.
Tagetes is a genus of annual or perennial, mostly herbaceous plants in the sunflower family Asteraceae. They are among several groups of plants known in English as marigolds.
Climbing Chimborazo or Carihuairazo is an adventure only for well-acclimatized, experienced mountaineers with snow- and ice-climbing gear (contact guides in Riobamba or Quito). From Riobamba, you can organize a day trip that takes you to Chimborazo's Refugio Whymper at 5,000m, or just beyond, to Laguna Cóndor Cocha at 5,100m.
Care should be taken to properly acclimatize if you plan to do physical activities around Chimborazo and Carihuairazo. If your accommodations are at altitude in the vicinity of Chimborazo and Carihuairazo, then they will probably be good sites to acclimatize, although you should also consult a qualified guide if you are planning hard hiking or climbs on either peak. You can arrange mountain-bike descents from the high-altitude refuges with tour operators in Riobamba.
The small indigenous community of Pulinguí San Pablo (3,900m) on the Riobamba–Guaranda road is well worth an afternoon visit, and climbers and hikers can stay overnight in the simple community lodge. The Puruhá people have lived on Chimborazo’s flanks for centuries and are now working to bring tourism to the region. Locals provide basic guiding services and can take you on fascinating interpretation trails in the area.

There are two functioning huts, the Carrel Hut (4,850 m) and the nearby Whymper Hut (5,000 m). The Carrel Hut can be reached by car from Riobamba, Ambato or Guaranda. On the north-west side there is the now defunct Zurita hut (4,900 m), which served as base for the Pogyos route.
Melbourne experienced a colder and wetter than average winter last year, which then became the wettest spring ever recorded. However, summer did eventually arrive, albeit late, with glorious days of sunshine that brought out beautiful blooms on all the flowers. This included my Elina Rose, which is one of the strongest rose bushes in my front garden.
Elina is a very prolific, constantly flowering Hybrid Tea rose bred in Northern Ireland by the Dickson family in 1983. It was released in 1984. Each rich cream coloured flower comprises around 25 petals. Elina’s perfect classic rose shape, long straight stems, mild fragrance and attractive foliage ensures it is a popular cut flower variety and sought after by florists.
Experienced on the Vancouver SkyTrain, British Columbia
SkyTrain is the longest rapid train system in Canada and the longest fully automated driverless system in the world so far.
Hell must be experienced
A world unique has been opened in the Czech Republic - HELL, which has no analogues in Europe or anywhere else in the world. You can find it near Hlinsko in Bohemia in the village Čertovina. The exceptional structure reaches a depth of 12 meters below the ground, where there are hundreds of meters of corridors and caves, and then the sky is eight meters.
The building resembles a giant overturned ship 65 meters long and 14 meters wide. A legend is attached to it, which says that in 666 devils sailed on hellships and searched for sinful souls. One night, however, they were caught in a violent storm and the whole ship turned upside down. Lucifer took his huge pitchfork, stabbed it directly in front of the bow of the overturned ship, and said, "Hell will never go to heaven!" He ordered all the furriers to kick and dig until they dug their HELL. And sinful souls in the earthly world who were not afraid to settle nearby called this place Devil's.
Melbourne has experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which is now bleeding well and truly into a wetter and greyer than average spring and summer, however on the rare sunny days we are currently getting, the showing of flowers and blossoms is beautiful.
This includes my "Nahema" rose in my rear garden which grows by my back terrace. My garden is quite shady, but it does live in a spot where it gets afternoon sun. We have had a few sunny and warm days the last week or so, so it has finally started blooming! This is my first flower for summer!

We experienced a lot of rain and cloudy weather while staying in Page, Arizona. The back country roads we wanted to travel were largely inaccessible. Thus we visited Horseshoe Bend several times because we could travel there on paved roads. The 1,000 feet deep canyon is amazing. While we did see the sun burst through storm clouds during our stay, I confess it wasn't at the time of visiting Horseshoe Bend. But the magic of Photoshop helped me get the sky I wanted!
Happy Slider Sunday!

Death Valley is best experienced in the morning and during Winter.
At this time of year, you are alone and there are massive weather fronts that travel over the valley. The desert pools with water and the sky's are full of attitude.

Thanks for stopping by
Experienced some moments of disassociation the other morning as I ventured out into a thick layer of ground fog. The fog created a weird mental disconnect as the ordinary landscape was rendered as a monochromatic otherworld. This alone was more than plenty for my creative mind to act upon. But as I lingered, I found the brightening sky to the east particularly fascinating. I tend to be a creature of the night and my time here (and in general) is usually the later part of day and evening, sometime even past sunset. My entire psyche revolves around sunset and seeing (and composing photos) with light emanating from the western sky. My small world looks completely different during those rare occasions when I am out shooting in the early morning. Invigorating to see the visual tables turned in this manner and sense that I am exploring familiar ground for the first time. I invariably find myself shooting from angles that make absolutely no sense at other times of day. Here I love the layering effect of diminishing clarity as the landscape is enveloped by fog as it recedes from the lens. In my mind, nothing exists beyond what I can see. In these moments my tiny universe shrinks even further. Very odd to feel such confinement when standing outdoors in an open space; a rich visual and visceral dichotomy.

By early in 1988, Union Pacific experienced a traffic boom, and found itself power short. As a remedy, they short term leased a pair of McCloud River Railroad SD38 locomotives. The units were given the reporting mark UPL for Union Pacific Lease. McCloud 37, 36, and SP SD39 No. 5322 (also leased) were departing Provo, Utah for Salt Lake City the afternoon of April 16, 1988.
Yesterday evening, Mother Road experienced short traffic congestion.

A wonderfully moody late evening we experienced from a high vantage point where we had photographed a tall waterfall. I just loved the light mood gracing this landscape in North Iceland near Blonduos
We just experienced yet another reversal in the mild spring weather pattern here. A warm and dry phase quite rudely shoved aside by a cold and wet one. Frustrating to adapt to high temperatures in the mid-40s after experiencing the mid-80s. Still the change of seasons presents dynamic visuals that are greatly enhanced by the weather. Such was the scene here amid an expansive field of vibrant dandelions beneath a dark and brooding sky. I love the luminescent quality of flowers on overcast days. Even the grass seems full of vigor now that it is emerging from the dreary phase of winter. Viewed from a distance, the individual dandelions meld into a monolithic sea of yellow. Making my way into the meadow created a feeling of immersion into springtime. The vastness of the scene seemed best conveyed by a closeup view of a single dandelion. I was struck by the way the petals seemed to burst out like a miniature fireworks display of spring color.
We experienced four seasons in the one day as we ascended Ben Lomond, last Tuesday! There was quite a bit of cloud cover at the top but I managed to capture the rainbow peeping through below us, before we retreated from the oncoming rainstorm (which contained some snowflakes!). Scottish summer weather at its best!
