I met this really genuine and fascinating young couple passing through Jerome, Arizona today. Alicia and Max started their bike ride in San Diego, 3 weeks ago. Their goal is to arrive in North Carolina after 3 months on the road. An epic adventure!
I admired their foolhardy and youthful adventurousness. Their enthusiasm reminded me of me and Chad leaving Illinois 16 summers ago, packing just our most important possessions and heading to Arizona and the unknown, with no jobs lined up, and no place to live planned. Just "living on love" and sleeping in the forest.
Along for the ride is their blind dog (whose name I've forgotten), sitting in a milk crate strapped to one of the bikes. I asked if I could take their photo, offering to take two shots and give them the one of their choice. They were so excited to get a photo, saying, "Our first photo of the trip together!" We chatted for quite a while. They took a copy of my bio from the gallery and said they'd e-mail me from different locations along the road, checking in and letting me know where they were. I hope they do! It would be fun to keep track of them on a map! I wish them safe travels! If you see them passing through your town tell them Ellen says hello!
It's fascinating how the light changes as the sun moves and paints the dunes from different angles. Even if you find these dunes it'll be difficult for you to be in the right places as the light moves. Make effective use of your time and go with someone who has spent most of his time in recent years exploring California's landscape.
Libelle an Eichenblättern***Dragonfly on oak leaves
Blaugrüne Mosaikjungfer***Aeshna cyanea***blue darner
Ich möchte sehr gerne wissen, was das für eine Libelle ist.
(Identifiziert, es ist einen Blaugrüne Mosaikjungfer:) )
I want to know very much what is it for a Dragonfly
( Identifyed, it is a blue darner:) )
I've seen the Grebes raise up out of the water and flap and fluff, but I don't believe I've seen this displaying behavior, that's what I think it is, where they stretch out over the water with their heads and wings held up...I found this very 'fascinating' to observe!
I'm finding it very difficult commenting, when I have to keep bringing up 20 more...does anyone know how to do comment without that frustrating...it's taking me twice as long...:(

Rework of a very old picture of mine. I replaced my daughter with the sailor, and stylized the background.
(© 2009 Príamo Melo) Sunrise in Botafogo neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Aren't clouds fascinating? They're capable of changing completely a landscape shot like this one :-) ! Try to imagine this scene with a cloudless sky... (Tomorrow I'll post a color version of it).
(© 2009 Príamo Melo) Nascer do sol em Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro. Nuvens não são fascinantes? São capazes de mudar completamente uma paisagem como essa aqui :-) ! Tente imaginar essa cena sem as nuvens... (Amanhã vou postar uma versão colorida dessa foto).
Another shot of the leaf-cutter bee drone that set up territory in one of the flower borders at the holiday cottage. Another part of his fascinating behaviour was climbing up plant and grass stems. No idea why as he just flew off when he got to the top!
ID please.
While walking through the gardens, I was interested to see a photographer, equipped with tripod and camera, spending quite a bit of time getting a certain shot just right. After he packed up and left, I stepped in and took a photo of the specimen also.
Me at the opening of my new exhibition "homeland" in the bar of one of my best friends last sunday. My long-time colleague Rainer Lehmann took the picture for the local press. He said, I won't get any more beautiful ...
Due to Corona there are no people. But prints are selling well.
This is the original text from the local newspaper;
Freising - When the early morning light casts a golden yellow shimmer over the landscape in the Ampertal, photographer Siegfried Martin is out and about with his camera. In the glittering dew, leaves, bark structure forms of tree bark and old wood or the rippling waves that the wind lays on the surface of the oxbow lakes along the Amperauen are presented. The large-format photos that the artist is currently showing in the Q-Bar in the Upper Old Town appear almost three-dimensional. He has been “on new, exciting paths” in recent years, says Martin. He has not abandoned analog work with his Leica M or the Hasselblad medium format cameras. However, his love for photography has been revived in recent years with the new generation of Nikon cameras. He was inspired by the “focus shift” function, which automatically varies the distance setting on his Nikon Z7 and thus improves the depth of field. He is turning more and more to minimalist motifs “on the doorstep”. On walks or bike rides through moss and Amperauen around Zolling, he can discover the "abundance" of nature. Stopping and listening to the splash of water or the wind rubbing through the grass and leaves - that is what is ultimately just as important to him as pressing the shutter release button. “The motif finds me,” says Martin. “Suddenly I stand in front of something and know that it is.” On numerous photo trips through China and Tibet off the main tourist routes in the last few decades, the photographer recalls. "There were endlessly spectacular landscapes that you had dreamed of for years and suddenly you were standing in front of it". But he also finds the beauty of nature “on a small scale” in the Ampertal, within a radius of just ten kilometers from his home town of Zolling. He calls the exhibition “Homeland” because home has become more and more important in recent years, as Martin muses. “Maybe it also depends on how old you are,” he says and laughs. The love of photography is revived every day. The motifs in the cycle of nature are simply beautiful and harmonious. Regardless of whether in winter the last leaf on the tree above the water of the Amper lights up in the morning light or pussy willows draw a surreal picture like a vortex of dancers: The pictures are touching and fascinating. mam
The fascinating remains from one of Tuscany’s most famous monasteries of all times
In the Val di Merse, between the medieval villages of Chiusdino and Monticiano, immersed in the countryside, there are the spectacular remains of the San Galgano Abbey, one of the most important Tuscan monasteries. The noble knight Galgano Guidotti became a Cistercian monk and erected a chapel on Montesiepi in 1180, where he chose to live as a hermit the rest of his life. The Cistercian monks subsequently made an abbey and an oratory built in honor of Galgano, who became saint.
The Monastery of San Galgano is an amazing building, considered to be one of the most prestigious examples of Italian Gothic-Cistercian architecture
In 1300, the Abbey was devastated by the troops commanded by Giovanni Acuto and in 1400 began the period of decadence and abandon by the monastic orders
Pitt Meadows, BC Canada
The Pitt Polder Ecological Reserve, located near Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, is a fascinating area managed by BC Parks. It was established to preserve a fragment of the rapidly disappearing Fraser Valley boglands. The reserve features wetlands, marshes, and a granite outcrop, providing a habitat for diverse wildlife, including black bears, black-tailed deer, bats, waterfowl, and songbirds.
While the reserve is open to the public for non-destructive activities like hiking, nature observation, and photography, activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, or foraging are prohibited to protect its delicate ecosystem.
Grant Narrows Regional Park is a beautiful spot located in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. It serves as the gateway to the Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Management Area and is situated on the southern shores of Pitt Lake, one of the largest tidal lakes in the world. The park is surrounded by wetlands, bogs, and marshes, making it a prime destination for birdwatching, with over 200 bird species spotted in the area.
The park features hiking trails, including the Nature Trail and the Pitt Lake Trail, which offer scenic views of the marshlands and opportunities for wildlife observation.

Fascinating to think that from somewhere energy was used to create a living frond and now energy is being used to dissolve it .. a fascinating world
There are so many fascinating and interesting things in Paris. I could stop at every second corner and find something new interesting. On this particular evening I was on my way to the Eiffel Tower.

Monochrome abstract details of the exterior of the Q-Park car park in Sheffield city centre, known as the 'Cheesegrater' for its unusual but fascinating facade.
One more from Jan the pup and my walk-a-bout yesterday. Thought this old tree was pretty neat and could just imagine all that ma nature has thrown at her yet she's still kind of standing proudly on her own and has healed enough to keep on growing, Did this in mono cause it really does allow it to stand out so much better
Hope your having a great sunday
Fascinating to watch this Magpie performing like a Harrier Jump Jet and rising from the floor to grab some of the fat balls. Not many left but he/she was determined to get them.
A fascinating sculpture titled "Moments dorés" (2021) by Denis Michaud in Grand-Remous, Quebec, Canada.
For those who can read in French, here's a news article regarding his wonderful creation: infodelavallee.ca/culture/2021/11/19/lartiste-abitibien-d...
With the assistance of the resources available on the internet, I was able to witness the total solar eclipse from within 20 feet of the centerline of totality. This location was in eastern Oregon and had perfect viewing. The location had 2 minutes 9.3 seconds of totality.
I was able to get some nice pics, and had a wonderful experience. This area in eastern Oregon was fairly remote, and the weather was perfect. No clouds or smoke from the wildfires. I think I picked the best spot to attend this event since most of the three dozen or so other people around me were eclipse chasers. Many of them indicated that they put a lot of time and effort determining where they would view this event from. Some of the people I met had witnessed over a dozen total eclipses worldwide.
I have quite a few good pics, so expect to see more of them as time goes on. If you have never witnessed a total eclipse, I highly recommend it. It is easy for me to see why people chase these events around the globe.
Best viewed large.

Enlargen the photo (by clicking on it) to see the ice better.
I found the amazing natural ice art I hoped for yesterday, at a dam and at a waterfall after some driving. This one isn't a good photo, but this little tree still was one of the most amazing things I found encapsulated.
My album of ice and snow here.
