Full Flow
We have just spent the last few days in Glencoe in which we had some mixed conditions weather wise. This is the River Coupall looking towards Buachaille Etive Mor, heavy rain over the previous days lead to a very full flowing river and with late afternoon light helping to enhance the mood.

At midstream you stand, the flowing current
touch your feet, transient, fleeting, in an instant.
Flows the water current, constantly touching you
How many cusecs of it, you think, belongs to you ?
Either consider the entire water current is yours
else be certain, really nothing of it is yours
What you belong to is what that belongs to you
Yet, own nothing of the Whole that you belong to
Only class of conscious force is at work
in all parts of each thing of everything Here
All five elements have come into existence
by reason of distinct discrimination of essence
Comfort and discomfort experienced by the senses
Chemical reactions of different types of substances
which collide with the senses in different conditions
and create subtle , entirely varied vibrations
All mental and physical substance, existent
Are part of the incessant flowing force, consistent
Substances flow unceasing, uninterrupted
Your belongings are eternal, unlimited.
Immortal Soul is pure, in union with One
'I' am part of the Whole, which contains me.
Whole is One, a part of which 'I' am wholly
at one with the One, the Whole belongs to me.

from nisargadatta maharaj: “wisdom tells me i am nothing. love tells me i am everything. between the two my life flows.”
Situated within the Þingvellir National Park in Southwest Iceland, the Öxarárfoss waterfall is one of the best-known waterfalls of Iceland.
It flows from the Öxará river that cascades in two streams over the Almannagjá gorge cliffs, that touch the eastern boundaries of North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. With a height of 13 meters and an average width of 20 meters, this waterfall is positioned inside Almannagjá, in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).
Spending nights out during the midnight sun period in Northern Norway is a highlight for me each summer. Found this waterfall illuminated by the golden light and decided to go for an intimate photo as I found the golden flow quite beautiful!
Instead of waiting for happiness to flow
toward you, let it flow from you.

A fun morning with a some of the Focus crew at Warriewood. The combination of the incoming tide and large than expected swell meant that the rock shelf wasn't accessible, but standing on the beach watching the colour develop in the sky with the warm water flowing around your feet is a great way to start the day.
Apparently, I am easily amused spending countless hours thinking about lights and motion My mornings are spent blowing bubbles, waving my arms and lights around in the dark, and hoping for magic. I've mentioned that I am not one that feels like sitting and meditating does anything for me but the act of creating my photos puts me in a flow state. It is one of the times I can maintain mental focus for a prolonged period of time. What activities help you?

Looking west from the Sandstone Bluffs overlook along NM 117 in the El Malpais.
That is Gallo Peak under the thunderhead at left. It's part of the Zuni Mountains that extend out of frame to the left.
In the large basin between Sandstone Bluffs and the Zuni Mountains, is the main body of the El Malpais lava flows.

That thunderhead kept building and a couple hours later became a humdinger of a storm through which we drove home. We almost had to pull over due to lack of visibility.
Autumn Flow
One from Glen Cannich and a nice wee burn that flows down into the River Cannich, with lovely autumn colours in the trees and ferns.

Cottam Power Station. The River Trent was flowing fast...left to right...along with the late afternoon clouds shifting along on a stiff breeze. The long exposure helps recreate the sense of 'Flow' to my mind.
The streams were full of water this day in Cliff Gilker Park. The multitude of tiny waterfalls were flowing, and produced a plethora of opportunities. In this shot, the foliage is full, the two waterfalls are overflowing, and crested with an untamed rapid..
When taking this image, I was thinking how this could be most anywhere, how it appeared almost tropical with growth, and how very abundant with life the scene appeared. I purposefully restricted the scene to the bare minimum in order to help convey the feeling of concentrated flow.
