Thank you so much buddy, it's always a pleasure to take photos with you! Watch out for Edu's amazing version!
"A person who thinks all the time
Has nothing to think about except thoughts
So, he loses touch with reality
And lives in a world of illusions
By thoughts, I mean specifically, chatter in the skull
Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words
Of reckoning and calculating
I'm not saying that thinking is bad
Like everything else, It's useful in moderation
A good servant, but a bad master
And all so-called civilized peoples
Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive
Because, through excessive thinking
They have lost touch with reality
That's to say
We confuse signs
With the real world
This is the beginning of meditation
Most of us would have
Rather money than tangible wealth
And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed
And to read about it the next day in the newspaper
Is oddly more fun for us than the original event
This is a disaster
For as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs
We are destroying nature
We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
Time to wake up
What is reality?
Obviously no one can say
Because it isn't words
It isn't material, that's just an idea
Reality is
The point cannot be explained in words
I'm not trying to put you down
It's an expression of you as you are
One must live
We need to survive, to go on
We must go on!"
The terraces were dug following the natural curves of the landscape. The thickness of the walls stores heat during the day and diffuses it at night. Thanks to this method it has been possible to obtain a different microclimate as one goes down and gets closer to the centre. An average temperature difference of 5°C was observed, whereas the difference is only 0.5°C over comparable height differences at the same location. Due to its sheltered position, each of the terraces represents approximately one thousand metres of altitude under normal growing conditions.
It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.

Sydney 1982 - I visited here as a child and took many photos. My eldest son was asking me what sort of photos I took when I was his age and whether I was any good back then. So we found an old photo album that had this and a whole bunch of other Sydney and Melbourne photos - this photo stood out for me and reminded me of some of my architectural shots that I take today. I actually remember taking this shot, looking up and around in wonder in this iconic Australian city. But most of the photos in the album were pretty ordinary - I explained that taking photos back then involved taking the shot and not realising whether they were any good until weeks or months later when you got the film developed. By then you had no idea what settings you used ... and you were limited to 24 or 36 photos before the film (which was expensive) ran out. So much has changed.
This is a photograph taken in woodland on an Autumn afternoon, using a simple Nikon D3100 set at f/18.0 at 1/8th exposure. You slowly move the camera vertically to achieve the blurred effect. A few Administrators, especially in smaller groups think this is CGI. How do we explain this to them, iPhones have a lot to answer for.
I have to explain that shot!!! this is not good.... :))))
Is Balea Lake! ...and there, on right is Cabana Balea!

Hello dear friends! :)
Thank you very much for your support and encouragement, for the good thoughts and beautiful comments!
Because of some problems with my left hand, I hardly manage to keep up with you, so I’ll post photos here rarely, until I’ll do better! That’s why my comments are fewer.
I really appreciate your work and I’m still admiring your photos!
I wish you a wonderful week, full of accomplishments, joy and love!
All the best to everyone!
To love and be loved every day!!!
Press L for better view!! :)
Does someone can explain why ever time I focus my camera on a flower, a wind (light or not) instantly begins to blow? :))
Crown-of-christ (Euphorbia milii) is a thorny shrub from Madagascar that is very widespread in Brazil, where it is used as an ornamental plant and as protection in hedges. Very widespread in the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Bahia, it also receives the names of two-lovers, happily-married or two-friends, due to the fact that its small, red flowers always appear in pairs, at terminal summits. .
It consists of a perennial shrub up to 2 meters high, very branched, with long contorted branches, provided with numerous sharp needle-shaped spines, measuring about 3 centimeters in length.
These plants should be grown in full sun, preferably on fertile soils and with regular watering, but they adapt easily after being established in weak soils with little water.
Its handling must always be carried out with thick gloves and with great care, due both to the presence of the numerous thorns, and because it presents a toxic latex, which can cause irritation in the mucous membranes of the eyes, mouth and skin.
From Wikipedia.
"Birding is a three-dimensional pastime. It’s superior to, say, mushrooming, where the quarry is never higher than your shoelaces. And, of course, misidentifying a bird won’t kill you. Now, while all the mushroomers get busy writing angry op-eds, let me explain.
Birds fly. The sky’s the limit. One can’t go birding without looking up. The entire forest is stratified, from the treetop warblers to the ground foraging turkeys. And in the middle: thrushes.
Members of the thrush family spend much of their time on or near the ground. They forage on foot.
Males on territory might sing from a treetop, but they are often content to croon from a lower branch in the canopy. Birders sometimes complain about “warbler neck,” the pain that comes from looking high into the trees. Nobody complains about thrush neck.
Robins and bluebirds are thrushes. They’re easy to tell apart. The rest? Not so much. All the medium-sized thrushes are various shades of brown, with whitish, spotted breasts. So when walking in the woods, identification becomes easier if you start with a default bird: everything is a hermit thrush, unless it isn’t.
The hermit thrush is the most common and widespread thrush in Maine. It is comfortable in the understory of both hardwood and softwood trees. It forages through the leaf litter on the ground. When surprised, it may fly to a nearby branch where it can look you over and assess the threat, perhaps raising its tail or wiggling its wings. In other words, it’s easy. Its reddish tail contrasts with its brown body, confirming the identification at a glance. The whitish breast is lightly spotted.
Hermit thrushes don’t go far in winter. Most stay in the states. Some are even found on Christmas bird counts in Maine. They are the earliest of the brown thrushes to return, and start singing in late April.
Like their cousins, the song is an ethereal, flute-like melody, rising and falling. "
by Bob Duchesne (serves as vice president of Maine Audubon’s Penobscot Valley)

How many times were you awe struck by towering, majestic mountains or dunes, and overwhelmed by their incredible vertical scale? Yet, when you return home and look at your images, they don't seem to convey the grandeur? In my article I explain and illustrate with examples how you can use your telephoto to convey a sense of that vertical scale. Please feel free to read the article at this link. I hope you enjoy!
This image: A sail boat emerges from the shadow of a towering cliff face as it makes its way through the outer limits of the awe inspiring O-Fjord in East Greenland's Scoresby Sund. I hope this image conveys the incredible scales of this wild place!

Excerpt from portstanleyheritage.com/open6.htm:
St. John's Presbyterian Church in Port Stanley, constructed in 1852, is a wonderful example of small-town ecclesiastical architecture. Nestled among the trees in the heart of the village, this building has, for over 150 years, catered to the religious needs of the community.
Every Spring the little church is packed to the doors for the special Blessing of the Nets service which starts the fishing season for the many commercial fish tugs which still operate from the harbour. Members of the church will be on hand to explain this ceremony and show you around the church. If you are here at lunch time you can purchase a bowl of Presbyterian soup and some old-fashioned church sandwiches.
Tonight's full eclipse was pretty spectacular. A Red moon as the it rose but laterly a more normal colour. I was amazed that the clouds cleared for much of the eclipse.
I came across this website which explained the genesis of the term "Blood Moon" earthsky.org/human-world/what-is-a-blood-moon-lunar-eclip...
Notice how the moon in the northern hemisphere looks "upside down" in comparison to here in the southern hemisphere!
Literally set among the suggestive rocks of the Lucanian Dolomites , Castelmezzano , in the province of Potenza , is one of the most precious jewels of Basilicata . Its perched houses reminiscent of a crib , the rugged peaks that frame it, the small alleys and stairways that run through it offer enchanting views that truly conquer everyone and give off the perfect atmosphere for a weekend of high romance . The splendid location would be enough to make the resort an ideal destination for an extremely pleasant couple's stay , but in reality Castelmezzano has much more to offer visitors in search of a romantic atmosphere.
The emotion begins to grow already along the way when, after crossing a spectacular gorge , you find yourself walking along a tunnel dug into the rock , at the exit of which the view of the village clinging to the Lucanian Dolomites reaches straight to the heart, giving you immediately the impression of being in the right place with the right person. The shapes of the rocky peaks and their play of lights and shadows explain their evocative names, ranging from "beak of vicetta" to "lion's mouth" up to "anvil" and " golden eagle" , while the historic center with its typically medieval structure, enchants with the beauty of its houses wedged between the rocks and surmounted by roofs in sandstone slabs . Walking along the narrow alleys of the historic center and climbing the small stairways, you reach magnificent panoramic points from which to enjoy a splendid view of the surrounding landscapes , in a continuous interaction between urbanized views and natural sceneries that have earned the town the nickname of the city - nature .
Furthermore, Castelmezzano is included in the list of the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy and, admiring the artistic and architectural treasures that it holds, immediately explains why. Piazza Caizzo with the splendid mother church of Santa Maria dell'Olmo is only the beginning of a magnificent itinerary dedicated to history and beauty. Walking along the main street of the town , with the Town Hall building to adorn it, you reach the ruins of the castle and, entering the streets of the center, you discover other precious buildings ranging from the elegant Palazzo Ducale to Palazzo Coiro . Going outside the town and exploring the surroundings, you will discover other enchanting surprises. The ancient mills with roofs made of local chiang chimate stone slabs dot the Caperrino valley crossed by picturesque buildings, stairways and bridges , while vestiges of distant eras peep out among the uncontaminated scenery of the Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Park .

Scientists are baffled to explain how the remains of an Automosaurus Toyotus (although the exact species is difficult to determine because of deterioration due to sea water) long thought to be extinct washed up on a beach along the Oregon coast. A typical Automosaurus is thought to have weighted from 4.000 lbs (about 1800 kg) to 9,000 pounds (about 3600kg), voraciously consumed more than 50 gallons (190 liters) of petroleum in seven days, and emitted on average about 4.6 metric tons of CO 2 per year.
This writer shudders to think how close we came to the end of not just humankind, but all life on Earth had it not been for sudden growth of feral bicycles, which hunted and drove the automosaurus to extinction. Or so we thought.
Scientists now wonder if the creatures have gathered beneath the seas where they have evolved into something perhaps even more deadly.

A southbound unit coal train is holding the main at the south end of the siding at Kermit, Va. on a February day in 2004. A northbound train is approaching and will take siding. A second southbound (an NS train) is behind this one, which explains why the money-maker has to wait for the empty drag to clear up.

It seems impossible to explain with words, so pictures help try to express how it feels to live this experience.
[image created on 4-24-2024]
I have become very fascinated by digital pinhole photography. This image was created with a modified pinhole body cap. I think I’m drawn to this type of photography because I feel it relates to my life and it seems to teach me far beyond photography. There are strict limitations that can drastically alter how images are captured and the final outcome of the photos, there is a lack of clarity compared to how I normally capture images with a lens, it’s difficult to predict exactly how the image will look and beauty and meaning can be found in the process and the final photo. It gives me a chance to practice embracing the unfamiliar, change, finding beauty in imperfection and growing in new ways. And the look of the images reminds me of how it feels when the effects of trauma cause me to question reality and myself, feel terror, feel isolated, alone, deep sadness, dissociation, body memories and a range of other indescribably challenging experiences. When my voice is stolen and I cannot speak or find adequate words to describe what I face I am thankful I can relate my experiences to what I see in pinhole photography rather than “keeping it all inside.”
____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.
Explanation: (exception to the rule, as i intend never to explain..) I never make 'concept' photo's. I just look for situations i stumble in day by day and capture them. With some exceptions i generally only adjust colors, tone, shaprness, exposure, nothing more, nothing less. In this case I witnessed a bachelors party, a guy dressed as a non, asking bystanders for autographs on his leg. So no intention here of being rude or 'controversial'.
it was an overcast grey day, but the rain held off. the owner of the dairy farm explained that the cows really like it cool and suffer more in the heat than the cold.
I should perhaps explain "Peedie" Peedie is a traditional Orkney word meaning small and in this particular setting it obviously means "Small Sea" so it would be fair to ask how this come to be?
The reason is the sea in Kirkwall originally went all the way up to the steps of St.Magnus Cathedral and over the centuries the sea was reclaimed by the people of Kirkwall leaving only a very small Sea which would have been created by the Geological feature of an 'AYRE' which is a bar of shingle or stones forming on a narrow spit of land from the shore.
Recent Archaeological excavations very nearby to the Cathedral unearthed old piers possibly used in the building of the Cathedral.
Kirkwall's name comes from the Norse 'Kirkjuvagr', meaning 'Church on the bay'
i also made a heart shaped bokeh filter (:
omg the frikken government just pisses me off........UGHHHH
i'll explain another day, but long story short, i wasn't able to get my G1 today so i have to do it tmr. I'm still cramming atm so i'm a tad busy.
please oh please please please listen.
Juego de palabras intraducible sin explicar que el topónimo Sagastakoba significa cueva del manzanal / Untranslateable play on words without explaining that the toponim Sagastakoba means apple grove cave
The more pictures I take, the less possible for me to explain in words why I want to take the picture.
This is not a quote. This is my own words.
This was taken at Waterfront station last weekend.
Have a great Thursday!
I cannot. A double-exposure, the first thing one would jump to, is out. How could the second exposure on the same frame just selectively put in the three rectangular images without all the surrounding details? Very weird. I cannot possibly explain it but maybe one of you can. This was not taken through a window. I was standing out on our balcony in the open air.
