A fellow experiencing tyre trouble on a gravel road in a forest in wintertime. He is kneeling on a blanket, either loosening bolts or jacking up the vehicle. It must have been pretty cold the day the photo was taken since he is wearing a woollen coat, gloves, knee highs, and a knitted hat. The car is registered in the former German state of Oldenburg.

クソ重い今のカメラの軽量化対策に買ったパンケーキレンズで臨んだ今回の旅行ですが、予想外にクリアな画像に満足。
On this trip I took a pancake lens that I bought to lighten the weight of my current camera, which is really heavy, and I was pleased with the unexpectedly clear images.
The glaciers and ice caps of Iceland cover 11.1% of the land area of the country and have a considerable impact on its landscape and meteorology.
While most of the people step into the glacier, I had the chance to witness its underneath beauty: the crystal blue ice. After walking in icy water and not feeling my feet, I got deeper in what it seems to be a centuries old ice cave.
The air is the purest I ever breathed. I even licked the ice to test it :)
Every year, people die trying to explore the heart of the glacier as most of the caves collapse. The perfect time to enter such a cave is during winter as the summer temperatures makes the caves very dangerous. I must admit the it was a very pleasant once-a-life-experience.
The vessel named 'Furie' is what this Festival is all about. The Furie was built in 1916. It's the last 'operational' steam driven tugboat from the Netherlands and it lays in Maassluis my hometown! Offcourse a picture hereof must be part of this series.
With just a splash of autumn colour remaining on a beech tree in the woods at Lumb, Standard 4 no. 80080 works a 'Footplate Experience' train northwards towards Rawtenstall on the morning of the 22nd November 2013.
The different textures of this stump caught my attention and so I went a little off trail to get it.

My first glimpse of Lubbers was a delightful surprise! Each morning I walk the same route through my neighborhood and that day for the first time, there were tiny navy blue hoppers scrambling along the edges and valleys of a sunlit Agave.
I had no experience taking pictures of insects in general, or these tiny creatures in particular, so their sudden appearance opened up a new world for me. And I must confess, macro-shooting them day by day made me fall in love with them and their life cycle. Every morning, I walked past that spot and the fun began! Those little navy hoppers ate and ate and grew larger and larger. Once they finished off the tender green Agave, they moved over to a nearby Crinum Lily which looked worse and worse as they devoured it leaf by leaf.
Then one morning I discovered something new… one of my navy Lubbers had turned to gold.. and grown much larger! Was this a female and were the navy ones males, or what? The researcher in me went into action, urged on by the fact that lots of you seemed to be curious too!
Like all grasshoppers, Eastern Lubbers molt, as nymphs, through successive stages or instars. Lubbers go through a total of five instars of 15 to 20 days each before molting to the golden adult stage. So I had one of my answers… the golden one was simply more mature… a later instar or shed.
I found my Lubbers to be amazingly friendly… coming out to see me when I couldn’t see them… even in the rain. Peeking around leaves to make sure I was still there. Not hopping away when I took their picture, even though my flash was clearly annoying them.
Females, I learned, begin laying eggs during the summer months. After mating, they use the tip of their abdomen to dig a small hole in a suitable patch of soil. At a depth of about two inches, she deposits up to 50 eggs in a light foamy froth. Each female lays from one to three egg masses which remain in the ground through late fall and winter and begin hatching in March. The young Lubbers crawl up out of the soil and congregate on food sources in the area the female Lubber has wisely chosen for them.
Over the winter, my Lubbers were gone. Last winter was unusually cold so instead of hatching in March, I didn’t see any until early April. But then they were back... tiny navy ones by the thousands overnight! Knowing more about their life cycle, I watched their progress more carefully. And even managed to capture pictures of them actually shedding their skin!

I disagree when someone said that to find a peace, you have to go to a quiet place or maybe rural place where there is almost no one in that place. In fact I have witnessed it myself people could meditate even better when there was music going on during the Bhajan session.
Waowww!!!
Thanks to my 'baby' girl who seems to rediscover me every morning ;-) ... woke up quite early to experience one of Mother Nature's most beautiful gift... our range of mountains & the village in the valley lit up by the Super Moon <3
~ The Voice of the Ancient Bard ~
Youth of delight come hither.
And see the opening morn,
Image of truth new born.
Doubt is fled & clouds of reason
Dark disputes & artful teazing.
Folly is an endless maze,
Tangled roots perplex her ways.
How many have fallen there!
They stumble all night over bones of the dead
And feel they know not what but care;
And wish to lead others when they should be led.

Zoom-long exposure travelling in my out-of-body & lens experience on downtown-scapes during Canada Day festivities this summer! It was an exciting 2-stop manual zoom-journey during the long 30 sec exposure, experiencing all these festive city colours, lights and CN Tower's magical projection too...
...all brought to you by my manual zoom / long exposure magic! : )
