Eigentlich wollte ich etwas ganz anderes fotografieren. Vor Ort musste ich feststellen, dass das so gar nicht funktionierte, wie angedacht. Also hab ich kurzerhand umdisponiert und mich auf die Gegend konzentriert. Gottseidank spielte das Wetter mit.
Taken in my garden.
Photo taken at Randfontein in South Africa.
Using the Tamron SP AF 60mm f/2 Di II MACRO 1:1 LD (IF) (model G005N II) lens.
I Shoot Raw and edit in GIMP.
I am open to critique.
Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments. Each one is dearly appreciated!
The waves are channeled into this ice formation where they then explode looking like a volcano erupting.
Just think how many seed pods are in just one Cattail head. Look at the original size and you will see what I mean. Some are drifting off in the wind at the top. The day I shot this and some others it was 23 deg with the wind blowing.
If you like go to 'All Sizes' and look at either the 'Large' or better yet the 'Original'. Look just above the top bursting pod and you can see the fluffy seeds blowing away.
The Black/Whiteprocessing matches the drama of the moment as strong wind blew the crest off another wave behind.
Looking to the East...Heat wave continues ..Power went off at 5:17 PM ... 101 degrees outside ...Many fires started by Sundays lightning Storms ...I think this is the Hennesy Ridge Rd. Fire ..and I've added that location to the map instead of where I took the photo from .
See my older post on how this is done. Ever since my previous edit I didn't like the mask I used to blend images. Since it is a pano and blending isn't straight forward. So I had to rely on auto mask and then manually fix it at pixel level. Here's the final clean edit of the milky way arch rising over Mesa arch.
Flower photographed in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Wonderful colours that just radiated in the bright sunshine.
One of the more fascinating focused-stacked mineral sphere macros I've shot thus far, this image brings to my mind the surface of the sun, or lava exploding from a lake of fire... This came from my Cobra Jasper sphere.
Also, given the abstract nature of this image, I find I see a lot of faces there, some of them could come right from a horror movie... The name for this is Pareidolia which is where the brain tries to make sense of an image and to impose structure and order to it ;)
As usual, this was taken using the Cognisys Stackshot. About 40 images stacked and merged using Helicon Focus and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop with tender love ;)
„No day is like the other, even if it may sometimes feel like it.
And no sunset is like the other.
Sometimes it just gets dark - because the sun hides behind the clouds.
Sometimes the sky seems to explode - because appropriate climatic conditions prevail in the evening sky, usually in combination with special cloud constellations.
And sometimes, in a sky covered with clouds, the sun finds the small gap on the horizon to say goodbye to the night with a very special beacon...“
„Kein Tag ist wie der andere, auch wenn es sich manchmal so anfühlen mag.
Und auch kein Sonnenuntergang ist wie der andere.
Manchmal wird es einfach dunkel - weil sich die Sonne hinter den Wolken versteckt.
Manchmal scheint der Himmel förmlich zu explodieren - weil am Abendhimmel entsprechende klimatische Bedingungen vorherrschen, meist in Verbindung mit besonderen Wolkenkonstellationen.
Und manchmal, an einem von Wolken bedeckten Himmel, findet die Sonne dann aber doch noch die kleine Lücke am Horizont, um sich mit einem ganz besonderen Leuchtfeuer in die Nacht zu verabschieden…“

Exploding Inside.
Your putting it on the line,
Showing me the white in everything you do.
Your opening up this time,
Allowing me to see the real you in you
And journey's do take time,
but your hand is firmly in mine
we'll guide each other through
to see your smile,
my lifeline.
What goes on when our backs are turned, I wonder
we purview in our sleep the distances of the subconscience
the curiosity of dreams knows no bounds
as we ourselves await what living truly expounds
we don't always know the reasons why
when we forget all that has yet to be said
the martyrdom of unspoken silent fears
becomes the concern of far more than at first appears
have you ever wondered why, upon waking
a crystal clear image from childhood
should suddenly reappear for the first time
since it's first motion was carried from that day in it's prime?
it's a curious thing indeed that dreams the day away
and instils a restlessness throughout the night
it maybe April as much as May would have it
within the radius of season a talismanic split
of who we are and what we've ever done,
and the preponderance of wishing that time away
oh the peccability in us all is living proof
of both ends of this radiating goof
but overcome we do, and must
....is there more than just a breath
to breathe life into us?
in the search for all we're supposed to possess
somewhere inside is uplifting indeed
whithersoever that place may be
it takes but a second to expedite-
one hope through this life so recondite
deeper and deeper in excogitation
is the endless supply of so many questions
but our answers lie in the depth of simplicity
that place of Nature's intuitive authenticity
call it paradise, call it Heaven, call it life
answer it with all three and you're there!
heuristically speaking, we listen to Her
at last, we humans hereby manage to concur
when faced with the silence of Nature's immensity
humbled by the brilliance of that unspoken moment
the emptiness of the city finds friends in this solitude
of kindred spirits a plenty, and the negativity we abstrude
we've all been there as we stand here, together
honesty in yourself and all you've ever felt
touches the fingertips of the palm that holds your wealth-
of heart, mind, body and soul; here's to your good health!

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this goatsbeard (Tragopogon dubius or western salsify) plant growing on our acreage! I love experimenting with the seedheads!!
Tragopogon dubius (western salsify, western goat's-beard, wild oysterplant, yellow salsify, yellow goat's beard, goat's beard, goatsbeard, common salsify, salsify) [...] has been introduced into North America where it has become widespread, being reported from all the continental United States except for a few in the far south-east, and all provinces of Canada except Newfoundland and the northern territories.
Like most salsifies, the Western Salsify grows as an annual or occasionally biennial forb, reaching a height of typically 20-60 cm but sometimes almost a metre. It grows typically in warm, sheltered spots with moist soil. Its yellow flower is 4-6 cm in diameter and is likely to be seen in late spring or early summer. The flowers open early in the morning and often close up by late afternoon. Later the plant forms a seed head that resembles that of the dandelions but is distinctly larger. The seeds themselves (known as achenes) are 2-4 cm long but featherweight, weighing about 8 mg each on average. [...]
