A photo taken on the southern rim of the Red Canyon looking down 1,631 feet into the Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Utah. I'm not real big on heights, but I could not help leaning over the guard rail to snap this shot near the Red Canyon Visitor's Center.
This is probably the hardest ribcage I have done to date. WOW! trying to achieve an inner glow, plus tiny flames, and bones/skin covered in soot, phew! I'm super happy with the results though. It was worth the stress and anime sweat, lol!

Flaming Red
~Lisa Bolin~
It swelled and grew,
The red beastly anger,
Wave upon wave of crimson.
No feeling the chill blue
Calm of so many days before.
She was past that.
The fire burned bright,
A small coal, glowing,
Growing, in intensity
And ferocity, a maelstrom
of energy, strength, vigor.
She embraced it.
She roared, internally,
Flaming red for those
Who bothered to see;
A change to her very core.
Fueled by the heat of passion,
She burned.
Will this fervor, ferocity,
Fury, dwindle, burn itself out?
Can her power, her energy
Maintain the maelstrom,
Sustain her excitement for living?
She knows it.

Pretty as a picture in the summer sunshine, Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is a delight.

This plant is a native to Madagascar and enjoys the warm climate here in my location of Australia where they can remain growing in an outside area all year long.
It is a glabrous, bushy, evergreen and perennial succulent plant. Growing to around 50 cm in height and the same in width. The individuals flowers are very small, just a couple of cm in diameter.

Ahhh !! Yes !! Those magical Oostende sunsets again !!
I captured this …flaming sunset during those two days I stayed alone in Oostende at the beginning of this last Autumn…An Autumn called an…”Indian Summer” by most Belgians, because this last summer season …did not really exist in Belgium..It was so rainy ….and rainy..We had all missed the sun…
During sunsets like this, even in crowdy , touristic places like the Belgian Oostende, a profound serenity fills our being…Exterior sounds get softer and softer …while the sun gets down …and down…We are awestruck, while watching this huge, beautiful flaming ball approaching and touching the horizon, and finally …disappear , leaving behind a burst of velvet colors on a flaming sky…Pure divine magic…And….thank you Lord, because I have eyes to see…

These reds really looked fiery from a distance in bright sunshine. I spotted them whilst walking the dog and crossed a busy road to get a better look. I have reworked this or a similar snap as "Wall of Autumn Hues" also posted today.
The first flower this season of a gorgeous variety of Kalanchoe I have in a hanging basket outside my kitchen window.
"To bee yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
the color of the sweet chesnut tree flame up in sunlight against the forest. Now the leaves a one brown-grey color in a few days the fire is out.
I used this fence post in the Fenced Friday group, and before moving it into my "Done" file, I played with it a bit in Topaz Glow to see if I could come up with something for Sliders Sunday. I recently downloaded Glow, but haven't had a chance to really get into it, and while moving through the seemingly endless presets, this blazing image ("Electrify") jumped out at me. There are lots of sliders to play with within each Topaz preset, but after cranking them from one extreme to the other, I ended up leaving it alone, un-slid.
HSS!
A Peony from Colleen's garden.
The fattest and most scrumptious of all flowers, a rare fusion of fluff and majesty, the peony is now coming into bloom. –Henry Mitchell, American writer (1923-93).
Peonies are outrageously beautiful in bloom, with lush foliage all summer long. These perennials may live longer than you do—some have been known to thrive for 100 years. The plants require little maintenance as long as they are planted properly and establish themselves; they do not respond well to transplanting. www.almanac.com/plant/peonies
The hardy privet (Ligustrum) shows its beauty in front of a yellow blooming witch hazel (Hamamelis) presenting flame like structures in the winter sun on noon.
And here is the legend of this lens for the optical enthusiast:
(Carl Zeiss Tele-Tessar 4.0 300mm on Sony A7 series): In an advertising paper by Carl Zeiss from the 80ˋs Zeiss itself describes the lens as follows:“ The relative high weight of this lens has a positive effect on free hand held captures“ (🤔1720g means 0,00172 tons! Wow! Greetings to the supposed author of this Zeiss text Arnold Schwarzenegger💪😁): For a more feather weighted tiny person like me that means, crouch down, hold tide this glassy stove pipe and... either you succeed with a really good photo or you end up kissing the ground in about 2 seconds😂😂😂. But the serious part is that the Tessar series by Carl Zeiss is a legendary lens series, known for its sharpness, these are the so called "eagles eyes“. They donˋt show the same 3D-effect as their "Sonnar" or „Planar“ collegues and not allways these fantastic close-up possibilities due to their lack of „floating elements“, but perform very good in the long distances for which they are built for. This photo demonstrates even its performance in some closer range. Good copies of them are rare to get nowadays. P.S. Later Zeiss built the lighter MM version with 1200g.

The fresh snow had just rained. The remains of snow clouds still flaming as the sunsets (DSC00772-1).
Captured with Sony a7iii + Laowa 15 mm F2 lens (f/11).
Earlier I posted this one (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49750569462/in/datepo...), which shows two of the three towers. In this shot you can see all three of them. The flaming towers dominate the Baku skyline, and IMO they are wonderful. Baku itself is a pleasant city to be in, and unfortunately we only stayed half a day here. The oil dollars of Azerbaijan were well spent here in Baku.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
