Well, that's it for my city-captures of historic Saint Augustine, Florida. It was our 7th consecutive year here on the 4th of July. It's always fun! I got 50 keepers. All taken in one day, and then it took me the entire month of July to post them. Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did capturing them! I still have one nice Saint Augustine sunrise to post and also a nice grouping of avian captures, also taken in Saint Augustine. And then after that I have a huge-backlog of South Florida sunsets that I still have to work on. Some really good ones! But for now it's on to August in this tense and stressful year. And if the the virus wasn't enough, we will be waking up tomorrow to a Category 2 Hurricane just off our shores! What a year! Hoping everything is good by you, where-ever in the world you might be. Thank you for looking. Best Regards from South Florida U.S.A.

Seen on a building in Oklahoma City.

Using the same exact scene that I uploaded like two days ago but... eh, what the hell. The WW2 builders do it all the time.

 

And I liked this photo, so, yeah.

To be able to walk, to move,

To be connected to myself – and that’s it.

This freedom to be me. No one tells

Me how to choose my way.

Its my way.

To feel. The wind, the send, the noise of

The silence from within. And no

One to interrupt it. This freedom

that allow me to be with whom I want

and to leave whenever I wish.

This freedom is the most valuable thing.

And it comes with a price.

Thats Freedom

John Farnham

 

From the mountain to the valley

From the ocean to the alley

From the highway to the river

One emotion to deliver

One heart, one way, one love

To share but not to chain

That's freedom

 

It's a song of the heart

A race in the wind

A light in the dark

That's freedom

It's a reason to live

And after the rain

Rekindle the spark

Let freedom ring

It's a measure of trust

When love is alive

It's tender and tough

That's freedom

It's all love is about

This opening up and letting out

Let freedom ring

 

Decided to bite the bullet this morning, and hike into the base of the top fall at Belmore Falls. Discovery time. I am SUPER unfit.

It was a good 40min hike both ways, and myself and my mate Kurian headed in about 15 mins before sunrise. This hike is not for the faint hearted or anyone with a fitness level below high average. The lungs got a super workout, I had a few dizzy spells, mainly from not eating (I cant eat when I get out of bed), the humidity was through the roof, it was fog filled throughout the entire hike, and my calf muscles have gained a few inches I reckon. The worry of snakes in a rainforest is always there, and we thread super carefully. This is a place where you would definitely need an EPIRB, as if something goes wrong, like a leg break or snake bite, it is way too far for someone to hike out for help. But it was AWESOME. After the best part of a week of torrential rain, it was pumping (and thats an understatement). The spray was high and constant, and while one of us shot, the other did his best to keep an umbrella as close to the camera as possible, without covering the top of the falls, which was a real challenge.

So, this image is a 3 shot blend.

Image 1 for the flow was shot at 3 seconds, ISO 100, F11.

Image two to keep the leaves still was shot at 1/100th sec, ISO 400, F11

Image 3 of myself was shot when I got home....me like a right eejit standing on top of my letterbox in the front garden, with the camera on 10sec timer. I needed to shoot myself slightly elevated, as the original image was shot with the camera slightly tilted upwards to get in the top of the falls.

The reason for putting myself in the shot is basically for scale, so you can see the size of this stunning waterfall. With a lot less flow, you could easily walk across to the spot where I am "Standing".

The second fall. every bit as big, is just down on my left hand side from where I took this shot. It was deafening, stunning and an unbelievable sight to behold.

Hope you like "That's Freedom"....cheers, Mike

 

A line of greylag geese flying across the rising sun I could hear them before I could see them luck plays a great part in photography!

Keep hope and fly free

When we think about a dream or a wish, we often think about money, health. But what about freedom? Liberty is not less important than health or happiness, just think for a moment, will we be more happy or healthy if we don say what we want, if we don't think what's really happening, if we don't act like we do, if we are not us? Will we enjoy life then? Don't let anybody or anything or yourself turns you into a fictional reality, we're not robots, we are the actions of our thoughts. We are free to be free. So if I could make a wish I would wish I never lost freedom.

Por lo menos queda todavía algo libre... Portugal.

A couple of friends from highschool invited me to go take some shots of the Atlanta skyline with them tonight. This is overlooking Freedom Parkway.
