Golden hour photography uses the soft, warm, diffused light just after sunrise or before sunset, creating a magical, flattering glow with long shadows and rich red/gold tones due to the low sun angle filtering light through more atmosphere.
It's ideal for portraits and landscapes, adding depth and a dreamy quality.
Not quite the same in black and white.
Shooting in black and white during the golden hour
shifts focus from warm colours to light, shadow, texture, and mood, creating dramatic, high-contrast images with long shadows and ethereal light, emphasising form and emotion over hue, and often revealing timeless, classic compositions.

Back form a great holiday in Switzerland and Italy. A lot of people fly a long way from home during the summer, but forget that Europe has so much to give.
Our last stop was Cinque Terre. A famous spot that I always wanted to visit. Yes it was crowded, but if you hike a bit, you loose most of the crowds. As a photographer always the challenge to make a unique shot on a very popular photo location. I tried my best, especially using different foregrounds. Hope you enjoy and more to follow.
I always really appreciate your favs and comments.

Frost forms on objects that lose heat quickly, such as plants. If the temperature of the plant drops below zero, the water vapor that falls on those plants will transform into frost.

The Arecaceae are a botanical family of perennial plants. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are colloquially called palm trees. They are flowering plants, a family in the monocot order Arecales. Currently 181 genera with around 2600 species are known, most of them restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts.
Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping, making them one of the most economically important plants. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as food, palms were symbols for such ideas as victory, peace, and fertility. For inhabitants of cooler climates today, palms symbolize the tropics and vacations. Most palms are native to tropical and subtropical climates. Palms thrive in moist and hot climates but can be found in a variety of different habitats. Their diversity is highest in wet, lowland forests. South America, the Caribbean, and areas of the south Pacific and southern Asia are regions of concentration. Colombia may have the highest number of palm species in one country. 36744
2017 has already brought us a mish-mash of snow, rain, ice, warm & now cold temperatures!!! Looked like one of my bird feeders was turning into a little prison with the icicles getting longer & longer by the minute! Poor little birds! (Best viewed Large"

All Love Can Be - James Horner

…una mente brillante
.
...piove a dirotto e
in una via deserta si sente
d'un carro lo scricchiolio,
degli zoccoli lo scalpitio
in mezzo al triste mondo.
Abbandonato, un bambino
piange dietro una bara,
pallido il viso, occhi nel vuoto
chiede conforto alla nebbia
che stretto lo avvolge là…
dove la pupilla incerta
è in cerca d’una madre
del suo bacio, dell’ultimo abbraccio
ma oramai… tutto ha perso.
E’ solo coi suoi stracci addosso
lerci e inzuppati di pioggia
rimane la sua memoria
più santa e la più cara.
…sarai per sempre
il figlio di una donna muta.
Alza gli occhi al triste cielo
una figura intravede,…che
una silenziosa parola eleva,
sarai,….una mente brillante
e il suo ricordo lo conforta.
Gli dirà con placida fermezza;
con la gelosa e veggente tenerezza
avrò per lei sempre parole dolci
era un angelo, era la sua mamma.
………………………..…….. Luigi Mirto

…a beatiful mind
.
... it rains heavily and
you hear a deserted street
the creaking of a cart,
the trampling of the hooves
in the middle of the sad world.
Abandoned, a child
cries behind a coffin,
face pale, eyes blank
asks comfort from the fog
how tightly it wraps it there ...
where his pupil is uncertain
is looking for a mother
of her kiss, the last hug
but now ... everything has lost.
He is alone with his rags on
filthy and drenched in rain
his memory remains
holiest and most expensive.
…you will be forever
the son of a dumb woman.
He rolls his eyes to the sad sky
a figure glimpses,… that
a silent word elevates,
you will be, …a beatiful mind
and the memory of him comforts him.
He will tell him with placid firmness;
with jealous and visionary tenderness
I will always have sweet words for her
she was an angel, she was his mother.
………………………..…….. Luigi Mirto

Not only the best year I can remember for SWFritz, but the best for the rare Valesina form too... Popping up all over the place. Nice to see them out of the woods in the open meadows... :@)
This Rock Pigeon rested for a few minutes on the railing along a walkway by the Norwalk River. I managed to get a couple of shots of the numbers and letters on the leg bands and with a bit of online research determined that this is a racing pigeon from a club in a nearby town. I sent them an email, but no response so far.
Of flattery is imitation. I was looking through a Banksy book and this image was one of the ones that stuck with me. If you squint your eyes, or maybe drink a lot it looks better ;)
The arm and feet are a bit off but they are as close as I could get in this style.
Allestito all’interno dell’Ex Palestra della Gioventù Italiana del Littorio, il Museo della Forma Urbis custodisce i frammenti superstiti di una grande planimetria di Roma incisa su 150 lastre di marmo tra il 203 e il 211 d.C., originariamente esposta sulla parete di un’aula nel Tempio della Pace, in seguito inglobata nel complesso dei SS. Cosma e Damiano. Si tratta di uno dei più rari documenti giunto a noi dall’antichità, che restituisce un panorama unico del paesaggio urbano di Roma antica. Nella sua integrità, su di una superficie di 18x13m circa erano rappresentati almeno 13.550.000 m2 di città attraverso una moltitudine di sottili incisioni che raffiguravano le planimetrie degli edifici di Roma, a una scala media di circa 1:240. Considerata la posizione, la difficile leggibilità e la generale assenza di dettagli, è probabile che la pianta marmorea avesse, più che una finalità pratica, una funzione di propaganda e di celebrazione del potere, fornendo all’osservatore una visione generale della città e dei suoi grandiosi monumenti, le cui sagome erano facilmente individuabili anche grazie all’uso del colore.
Anche se rinvenuti a centinaia, a partire dal 1562 e fino ai pezzi scoperti più di recente, i frammenti della Forma Urbis costituiscono circa un decimo della pianta originale, in uno stato di conservazione che varia da piccole schegge a settori di lastra con interi quartieri, case, portici, templi e botteghe. Solamente per circa 200 frammenti circa è stato finora possibile raggiungere un’identificazione e un’ideale collocazione sulla topografia moderna.

This is another one of those waterfalls where the sheer force of nature will amaze you. The power of the water falling is so great here it seems to generate a constant cloud rising up from the bottom. The mist never really dissipates, just always changes shape and form in constant movement. I suppose one of the only constants in life is change.
This is taken from the edge, and by edge I mean I shouldn't be standing here, and will never stand there again. I couldn't help but think to myself, one little extra surge of water... But no surge came. I took a few quick careful shots as downward facing as comfort would allow and stitched them together with great difficulty as I didn't have 40% coverage. No auto-stitching for me. Such is life, this place is worth the extra effort.

Cosenza has been occupied for over twenty-five hundred years in one form or another, it is a city rich in history, culture and ritual, it is beautifully spread across seven hills much like its grander larger 2nd cousin twice removed Rome. The seven hills of Cosenza are named Crati, Pancrazio, Torrevetere, Guarassano, Triglio, Venneri, Gramazio, and Mussano they not only form the geographical heart of Cosenza but they are also form the city’s coat of arms. This city's appeal transcends its monuments, churches and museums, the true essence of a place and its people is captured through its many culinary delights, enduring traditions, warm hospitality, and breathtaking city views around every corner.

Photographer admits prize-winning image was AI-generated
German artist Boris Eldagsen says entry to Sony world photography awards was designed to provoke debate
Jamie Grierson

A photographer is refusing a prestigious award after admitting to being a “cheeky monkey” and generating the prize-winning image using artificial intelligence.
The German artist Boris Eldagsen revealed on his website that he was not accepting the prize for the creative open category, which he won at last week’s Sony world photography awards.
The winning photograph depicted two women from different generations in black and white.
In a statement on his website, Eldagsen, who studied photography and visual arts at the Art Academy of Mainz, conceptual art and intermedia at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, and fine art at the Sarojini Naidu School of Arts and Communication in Hyderabad, said he “applied as a cheeky monkey” to find out if competitions would be prepared for AI images to enter. “They are not,” he added.
“We, the photo world, need an open discussion,” said Eldagsen. “A discussion about what we want to consider photography and what not. Is the umbrella of photography large enough to invite AI images to enter – or would this be a mistake?
“With my refusal of the award I hope to speed up this debate.”
He said this was a “historic moment” as it was the first time an AI image had won a prestigious international photography competition, adding: “How many of you knew or suspected that it was AI generated? Something about this doesn’t feel right, does it?
“AI images and photography should not compete with each other in an award like this. They are different entities. AI is not photography. Therefore I will not accept the award.”
Eldagsen suggested donating the prize to a photo festival hosted in Odesa, Ukraine.
The stunt comes at a time of intense debate over the use and implications of AI with some issuing apocalyptic warnings that the technology is on the brink of irreversibly damaging the human experience.
Recent advancements in the use of AI in chatbots, driverless cars, song-writing software and the development of pharmaceuticals has spurred the discussion. Google’s chief executive, Sundar Pichai, said concerns about AI had kept him awake at night and warned the technology can be “very harmful” if incorrectly deployed.
The Guardian has approached Creo, the art events organisers behind the competition, for comment.

Swallowtail, southwest France this summer. I liked the way the insect and the leaf have the same shape and pattern
Con forma de castillo es, en realidad, un monumento dedicado a Cristóbal Colón y su llegada al Nuevo Mundo en un particular homenaje al descubrimiento de América. Fue construido por el Dr. Esteban Martín y Martín entre los años 1987 y 1994. Se encuentra situado en Benalmádena, Málaga.
El Castillo de Colomares es una fantasía arquitectónica que recoge diversos estilos.
Se trata de un pequeño castillo realizado y construido por un hombre de nuestro tiempo. Toda una obra arquitectónica gótica realizada en los años 80.
Es un lugar de obligada visita en Benalmádena por lo que enseña y por ver una obra fruto de la tenacidad y el esfuerzo humano.

The one with the blue cere is ♂
Budgerigar
Scientific Name: Melopsittacus undulatus
Description: Since its introduction into captivity, the Budgerigar (or 'budgie') has been bred into a variety of colour forms, including pure white, blue, yellow, mauve, olive and grey. In the wild, Budgerigars are small green and yellow parrots, with black barring above, and a small patch of blue on the cheek. The male has a dark blue cere (skin at the base of the upper mandible surrounding the nostrils). In the female this is brownish when breeding and light blue otherwise. Young Budgerigars are similar to the adult birds, but are duller and have a dark brown eye (which is white or yellow in adults).
Distribution: The Budgerigar occurs naturally throughout much of mainland Australia, but is absent from the far south-west, the north of the Northern Territory, Tasmania and the majority of the east coast.
Habitat: Budgerigars are nomadic and large flocks of birds can be seen in most open habitat types, but seldom far from water. Very large flocks, numbering occasionally in the tens of thousands, are seen after a season of abundant rainfall and food. Flocks are usually much smaller, however, and range from as few as three birds up to 100 or more. Birds in a flock fly in a characteristic undulating manner.
Seasonal movements: Nomadic.
Feeding: Budgerigars feed almost exclusively on the seeds of native herbs and grasses, such as porcupine grass and saltbush. Seeds are mostly eaten from the ground and the bulk of drinking and feeding activity is in the morning.
Breeding: Budgerigars tend to breed in response to rainfall, and may produce several broods if conditions permit. The nest is a bare cavity in a suitable tree branch or in the trunk. The female sits on the round white eggs. As with other parrots, young budgerigars are born naked and helpless.
Calls: The contact call is a warbling "chirrup"; "zit" is given in alarm.
Minimum Size: 17cm
Maximum Size: 18cm
Average size: 18cm
Average weight: 28g
Breeding season: Any time of year when conditions suitable
Clutch Size: 6 to 8 eggs
Nestling Period: 35 days
