Waiting for winter (Lessinia plateau 20191114)
The Lessini mountain group in the Veneto Prealps, are the hills that rise just north of Verona and acts as a border between the Veneto Region and Trentino Alto Adige Region. The Lessini mountain group reaches to, just over 2000 meters a.s.l. and has multiple valleys and long ridges that descend down towards the Po valley.
The Lessinia is a zone of ancient origin, noted especially for its abundance of fossils. Significant traces of human settlement have also been discovered here.

It's called Dai as he dislikes Portrait format - something about the camera innards falling out ;)
Back to landscapes and some macro work this morning. Meant a 2:30am alarm call and a tredge down the beach with Wiffsmiff23. Followed by some macro work on the way back for breakfast.

For my Flickr friends who love rich color and light combinations. Definitely press "L" for the best view.
This is a detail of a bouquet I received for Thanksgiving. There are two sources of light. One window is to the left of the flowers. The other is behind the flowers and to the right. This image is pretty much SOOC except for cropping and the tiniest bit of lightening it up.

So Mister Dylan wins a Nobel prize for literature, that sure has created a stir :)
Many years ago, and I mean a whole lot :) I had a guy sing this song to me while he played his guitar, sounds romantic?
He asked me if I wanted to hear the song he sang to his German Shepherd dog named "Lady" :)

Sorry for being MIA lately, I have just moved back to Sydney and I'm only now starting to unpack and get my things sorted. I've started working on my doll display shelf too, which I am very excited about. It does seem, however, that I am short of 5 clover stands. Does anyone have any spare, lol?
For the Macro Mondays group, on the subject of 'Fill The Frame', this is not what I was initially going to do, but test shots of that looked very drab...
It appears that there's a small gap in this, but there is another feather under there - it's just the flash does not seem to have penetrated!
Had to take these at a rather odd angle as I couldn't get to the top or bottom of them.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
for 7DoS: the idea I had for today didn't quite work. I might get time to adapt it for tomorrow ... meanwhile, here's another from my archives

Got takeout from Panda Express for dinner tonight. I had to chuckle when I opened my fortune cookie. Why don't I ever get one that says, "great wealth is in your future" ?

I am always on the look out for something interesting, at this day, I had a limited time and I could not drive too far, like coopers rock, so I parked at a hill because I saw this mixture of big cloud and dramatic sky. I set up my timer and bracketed my exposure, and guesstimated my focus and composed the shot in my head where would I stand in the frame. It was difficult for me because I had to run fast, the timer gave me 20 second, I ran just quick enough to be in the frame looking over the hill onto the approaching storm.
In honor of winter I thought I’d put up another from Abraham Lake taken nearly a year ago on a trip up to Canada with Alan and David. This evening was an eventful shoot at the Belly of Abraham Lake with storm like conditions raging over the mountains. It was blistering cold and wickedly windy on the lake surface but the dramatic light made it worthy to be out.
These bubbles are a bit different from my previous posts as these are deeper below as if they are trying but unable to reach the surface. In the background is Mt Abraham with soft evening light and wispy clouds dithering off the summit. Hope you all stay warm for the remainder of winter.

Iowa Northern Railway train BUWA has IANR 4100, 3809, 3802, and 3803 for power on this December Sunday to make the run from Butler Yard near Shell Rock, Iowa to Bryant Yard in Waterloo. The train had 75 cars out of Butler, but have brought the head 15 into the CN Waterloo Yard for interchange. In the background EJE 667, still in orange, is paused in between it's duties as the yard switch engine, and a few other motors are laying around at the engine facility including EJE 658 in CN paint.
The CN is in the process of purchasing the IANR but is still awaiting STB approval, and so this is perhaps a bit of a look into the future. Meanwhile the past is well represented in this view too, as the Illinois Central Roundhouse here in the background has been present in at least in some form, (it's had stalls added and removed over the years) back to as far as 1901 (and possibly longer, it was hard to pin down a good date for the roundhouse construction from just some quick online research).
The Iowa Northern Railway uses the CN Mainline in Waterloo and Cedar Falls for a few miles from Waterloo West to Cedar Falls Junction as part of an arrangement going back to the 1980s and a highway project that saw the consolidation of some lines in Waterloo to make room for US 218. Normally from what I've seen the interchange work is typically done by the IANR in either direction at some siding tracks just west of Waterloo West and so they don't come into the yard like this. But occasionally when traffic warrants the CN will have the IANR come directly into the "A Yard" here at the Waterloo Terminal to make their setout and pickup as seen here. They would tie onto a cut of cars and shove back out of the yard to the rest of their train waiting on the mainline.
I had gone out after this BUWA even though it was likely to be a cloudy day because IANR 4100 on the point is one of the road's newest units (arrived to the IANR in August 2023 per some online notes, though it's originally a C&O unit) and still looks pretty sharp. But it was a nice bonus to get them making this less-common move, and this angle normally would be a heavily backlit-view if the sun were present.

Credits are important to me as I don't make the stuff and Second Life would be very dull if it weren't for all the creators who do. The variety here is amazing. In a lot of ways, making a photograph here is like making a movie -- you need people who make stuff from trees to monsters to clothes to poses, people who create the sets, the actors (avators) and photographers. It is a wonderful collaboration between a lot of people that results in one photograph.... well, ok, a lot of photographs, lol.
