Right now its hard to spend time on Flickr because my daughter is here visiting from Colorado. I will be busy right through the weekend because I want to spend as much time with her as possible. Catch up with you all by Monday. Thanks again for always being there for me. Have a nice Sunday!
P.S.
Sure was a long and busy day for me so I've had no chance to even try to be on Flickr until now. Saturday Night Live is on now and I finally can sit down for a couple of minutes so I thought I'd post a picture before I call it a night. Good night my friends and sweet dreams. Good morning to others who are just starting their day! My best wishes to you all!

Landmannalaugar, Iceland
Landmannalaugar – natures sculptures. An area of varied shapes and forms with colorful rolling hills and mountains tinted by rhylolite minerals and obsidian post glacial lava flows.
It is at the edge of Laugahraun lava field that was formed in an eruption around the year 1477.
There are two sea stacks that together form Drangarnir. These impressive natural formations have become a symbol of the Faroe Islands’ unspoiled landscapes and untamed wilderness. To me, they conjure visions of a dragon's back, rising up from the icy waters swirling along its base. It is a haven for birdlife and a bucket list item for photographer's fortunate enough to find themselves in this Viking wonderland.
For me, it was an experience of a lifetime and the fulfillment of a bucket list dream that all began with a tiny image I saw on Instagram of a grass roofed cottage. What an incredible privilege to photograph the immense Drangarnir sea stacks (the smaller one rises out of the ocean to a height of over 200 '), probably one of the most iconic formations of the Faroe Islands.
Unfortunately, it is also one of the more harrowing places to get to. If I wasn’t grey already, that day would have done it in spades. Thank God for great travel partners, and our gifted leader, Thomas Vikre, who guided us through the gauntlet of eel-slippery rocks, steep slopes ending abruptly into the North Atlantic, and high tides bouncing our Zodiac around like a ping pong ball. Honestly, I would have turned back each time if given a choice. I have no desire to “prove” myself, or conquer fears at this point in my life, but it was a one way street, so no way to turn back. And in the end, I am glad for that. The beauty and majesty of the place is really indescribable, and to stand in the midst of it was truly an “epic” 😉 experience for us all.

Free soloing is the most dangerous form of rock climbing where free soloists climb above 'safe' heights where a fall would almost certainly be fatal. They climb without ropes or other protective equipment, using only their special climbing shoes and bag of climbing chalk to help maintain friction of their hands with the rock.
Inspired by watching the sport climbing at the Olympics, Brian attempts his first free solo. This image shows him successfully negotiating the serious crux pitch, his climbing partner looking on anxiously. Of course, snails have no need of chalk, making use of their natural sticky slime to keep them as safe as possible.

An artistic rendering of a macro view of a Pop It Topper bubble fidget toy. The frame represents a span of two-inches across.
Those who are not familiar with Pop It Toppers can click the below link to a Wikipedia article about them (with pictures). The version I photographed (in its entirety) is a very small topper with only four bubbles on it.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights and a steady LED light. The SB900s were placed CL/CR and fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄32 power through 24" gridded soft boxes and triggered by PocketWizard Plus Xs. The LED was placed @ 11-o'clock.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D(AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with 12mm + 20mm extension tubes attached.

A Vesper Sparrow, with food in the form of a grasshopper, paused briefly at Red Rock Coulee Natural Area south of the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. It was presumably on its way to nearby young to sustain, though I did not see a nest. (The small chestnut patch visible at the top of its wing is a diagnostic feature for this species.)

sto amando il formato 16/9 per foto come queste. è favoloso! un'ottima alternativa al formato quadrato :-)
To gain control of the world of space is certainly one of our tasks. The danger begins when in gaining power in the realm of space we forfeit all aspirations in the realm of time. There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern.
Nothing is more useful than power, nothing more frightful. We have often suffered from degradation by poverty; now we are threatened with degradation through power. There is happiness in the love of labor; there is misery in the love of gain. Many hearts and pitchers are broken at the fountain of profit. Selling himself into slavery to things, man becomes a utensil that is broken at the fountain.
AS CIVILIZATION ADVANCES, the sense of wonder almost necessarily declines. Such decline is an alarming symptom of our state of mind. Mankind will not perish for want of information, but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe but a will to wonder.
-Thunder in the Soul To Be Known by God, Abraham Joshua Heschel
The Himalayas, or Himalaya, form a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan range has many of the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8000m peaks. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia – Aconcagua, in the Andes – is 6,961 metres (22,838 ft) tall.
The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Himalayas are distinct from the other great ranges of central Asia, although sometimes the term Himalaya is loosely used to include the Karakoram and some of the other ranges. The Himalayas – inhabited by 52.7 million people – are spread across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, with the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to roughly 600 million people. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of the Indian subcontinent; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan mountain range runs, west-northwest to east-southeast, in an arc 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) long.
Handsome, cute and noisy - their unmistakable calls remind me of old sci-fi cartoons - Bearded reedlings were initially classfied as Tits, but don't seem to be related to any other species and thus form now a monotypic family (Panuridae).

In our earth-lab, a life form has existed randomly, thanks to the reaction of atoms of the ingredients which were already there, in the lab, for the creation of this life form. It has started to develop and expand on the earth, randomly. Later, after billions of years, it got conscious, randomly , but not all life forms have headed to the same direction. The evolution occurred according "the tree of life”.
Speculation:
Big bang has sealed the fate of our future by creating the atom based universe, like all the necessary ingredients were put in a beaker, in a chemical lab, to become the expected ( not randomly) chemical solution.
A life form is the expected result, depending of the time, of the existence and reaction of ingredients in a beaker.
This scene made me do a double take. Had some alien life form washed ashore? The infrared makes the live matter look ghostly white.

"La forma di un istante"
Si tratta piuttosto di una metafora poetica o filosofica che suggerisce l'idea che un momento brevissimo e sfuggente (l'istante) possa avere una sua struttura, un suo contenuto o una sua influenza ben precisa.
In un contesto artistico o letterario: potrebbe riferirsi al tentativo di catturare la natura effimera e transitoria di un momento nel tempo, come in una fotografia o in una poesia, per dargli una "forma" eterna o duratura.
"La forma di un istante" è già di per sé un'espressione suggestiva e poetica, che evoca l'idea di catturare l'essenza fugace di un momento.
Nel senso artistico, la "forma di un istante" si può interpretare come la capacità di un'opera di catturare, bloccare e dare forma all'effimero, al fugace e all'invisibile. Questa trasformazione avviene attraverso vari mezzi espressivi, come la linea, la luce, il colore o la composizione, che fissano un momento irripetibile e lo rendono eterno. Si tratta di un'operazione che va oltre la mera rappresentazione, mirando a catturare l'essenza di un attimo, l'emozione che lo pervade o il movimento implicito al suo interno
I pittori impressionisti cercavano di catturare l'impressione visiva di un momento specifico, spesso focalizzandosi sugli effetti della luce e del colore in un determinato istante (ad esempio, Monet e le sue serie sulla Cattedrale di Rouen in diverse ore del giorno).
