The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.
- Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)
The brilliant view from Pratabgad fort, Mahabaleshwar, India.
This is a panorama made from 3 images shot at 10 mm. I used 0.9 ND Grad filters.
Star-shaped flowers shoot out from the center of a decorative allium plant. I have always admired allium flowers (alliums? allia?) for their dramatic, globular shapes, but up close they are even more startling, like mini universes at the moment of creation. Seen at the New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx, NYC -- May 18, 2018
Well that's the end of the bulb. No going back !!. It would have been nice if it had exploded into a thousand pieces but still great fun. Shot in daylight in the garden with no back drop so you might be able to see a few ghosts in the background from a bench didn't see it on the camera at the time.
The smoke was thick, and you could hear the fire crackling as it consumed the vegetation - then suddenly another tree would explode into flames. The ground crews waited impatiently for the planes to drop the fire retardant. After several passes to scope out the hottest spots, the retardant was dropped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I took the photo of the exploding heart in Grugapark (Essen, Germany) as part of the "park lighting". In the b&w-processing I was of the opinion that the noise fits the subject, so I did not remove it.
Ich nahm das Foto des explodierendierenden Herzens im Grugapark (Essen, Deutschland) im Rahmen des "Parkleuchtens" auf. Bei der Schwarzweisbearbeitung war ich der Meinung, dass das Bildrauschen zum Motiv passt, so dass ich es nicht entfernt habe.

Two for the price of one today. This was my initial idea for the Photoshopped challenge, but I couldn't get it to work when I first tried it. Too late now, but I thought I'd post it anyway. :)
(Better on black)
Actually this was just a Muscovy Duck Cairina moschata having a good old splash around in the water to give the feathers a thorough clean.

This is the part of the coneflower holding myriad disc florets. Collectively it is called the disk or capitulum. The disc florets are the fertile reproductive parts - pistil and stamens which will form the seeds. The few yellow parts in the image are the anthers of the flower. And you did not even know the question, did you? Well, now you've seen the naughty bits of the purple coneflower. Happy?
interesting effect from autostitch with this one, the cups spin in the breeze so the bits moved between shots used in the stitch, which created some interesting ghosting and some disjointed arms which (for a nice change) add to the impact of a stitched imaged rather than make it an instant failure...
at least.. thats what i think.
some more conventional shots of this thing are next in my stream.
