Female Mallards hunkered down on snow, fog, and icicles poking their feet and feathers. About as shot. Wouldn't want to make it look all sunny and perky, right? Grateful for the chance to connect.
The power of feathers, perhaps.

Thanks for looking, although I don't blame you if you don't...
You know your spouse *understands* your passion for photography when...
...he/she actually gets excited about finding you something that might be fun to photograph. My hubby was eating these blackberries, then suddenly he got excited: "Hey honey! Photograph these!" So, here they are!

Matka Canyon reveals a place of silence here, directly beside the monastery Saint Nicholas Šiševski. This simple wooden pavilion forms a natural transition between the monastery and the gorge — a place to pause, to look, and to rest. Kanitha sits here for a moment, leaning against the wood, before we begin the descent back down. The pavilion feels like an extension of the monastery itself and may once have served as a resting place for monks: sheltered from sun and wind, with views over the deep canyon and the Treska River cutting far below through the landscape. No decoration, no distraction — only wood, shade and silence. From here, you can see how the gorge slowly opens, how light and shadow drift across the rock walls, and how distant the world below seems. The silence is almost tangible. It is a place where nothing is required — just sitting, breathing, and looking. That is precisely what makes this spot so fitting within the landscape of Matka — simple, secluded, and fully in harmony with nature.
Resting at a wooden pavilion beside Saint Nicholas Šiševski Monastery, overlooking the deep gorge of Matka Canyon. A quiet pause above the Treska River, where wood, light, and silence come together before the descent back down.
Matka Canyon onthult hier een plek van stilte, direct bij het klooster Saint Nicholas Šiševski. Dit eenvoudige houten paviljoen vormt een natuurlijke overgang tussen het klooster en de kloof — een plek om te pauzeren, te kijken en tot rust te komen. Kanitha neemt hier even plaats, leunend tegen het hout, voordat we aan de afdaling terug naar beneden beginnen. Het paviljoen voelt als een verlengstuk van het klooster zelf en diende het ooit als rustplek voor monniken: beschut tegen zon en wind, met uitzicht over de diepe canyon en de rivier Treska die ver beneden door het landschap snijdt. Geen versiering, geen afleiding — alleen hout, schaduw en stilte. Vanaf hier zie je hoe de kloof zich langzaam opent, hoe licht en schaduw over de rotswanden schuiven en hoe ver de wereld beneden lijkt. De stilte is bijna tastbaar. Het is een plek waar niets hoeft: even zitten, ademhalen en kijken. Precies dat maakt deze plek zo passend in het landschap van Matka — eenvoudig, afgezonderd en volledig in harmonie met de natuur.
I cant believe I hadnt uploaded this image before now.
I shot this May 30th in the hight of my Epson R-D1 shooting phase. Ive gone trhough a lot of cameras this year let alone film. I just with I had grabbed this on slide film, because its a jpg image not RAW, and I think its a little flat.
I sot it on the corner of Virginia and 5th in downtown Seattle, which is a no flash corner at the start of the summer in the early evenings.
I had the R-D1 and my stock 15mm which becomes a 21mm. I was walking by and out of the corner of my eye I saw this very tall young girl, bound accross the street, what a glide! I back handed the camera, and felt the shutter go, this happened. That 15mm is is the only anti-focus lens for rangefinder, that and maybe the 12mm. It was probably wide open because there is considerable vignetting.
Ive been showcasing this image along with a few others over the summer and have had a lot of interest in my work recently.
I think this is one of my most exciting and favorite street images.
I hope you like it too.

Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Beta is a test preview of the change that is getting ready to be implemented soon. It can be for a limited group of flickr members, intended to seek feedback and correct faults ( if any), before it is made public.
Change is good and public has always welcomed good changes. The preference for Windows XP by most people even after the introduction of Vista is a classic example of public acceptance. The public liked and preferred the predecessor ( Windows XP ) and the follower ( Windows 7 and Windows 8 ) versions of Vista. A change is good and often gladly welcomed by public, if it provides more utilities and user friendliness, without depriving even a single advantage of the predecessor.
The Beta version is unacceptable to the majority of Flickr users* ( who happened to experience it ) , because it's not user friendly and has only disadvantages to mention. *Please check the Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas
The layout itself is a disaster. Please check : Try our new photo experience beta / Comment box
However they try, it's quite evident that it's impossible to provide more space for descriptions, comment box, and comments; not to mention comments with pictures , group invites / awards. The more they try to fix it, the more cumbersome it becomes. The buddy icons now appear as dots making the page more unaesthetic than what you see in the earlier pictures of beta . They are desperately trying to make it appealing and user friendly, which is literally impossible with the proposed layout .
It's a big challenge for the programmers to try find means to provide more space in a vertical column which is already cramped.
Is it possible to make a rugby stadium inside a 100 square feet ground ?
