Natural spectacle in the sky / Winter Sunset

I am very grateful to all Friends for taking the time to view my photogallery

for so many blessings!

Wishing you a blessed and happy day of Thanksgiving!

The last in this series highlighting the diversity in colour and the beauty of Freesias.

Happy new week!

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the kind comments and faves.

* The last post from my trip to Seville at least for a while . It is another shot from the Plaza de España that we saw on our first afternoon. We were equally impressed by the architecture but also by the wonderful warm temperatures . Two months later and I am still waiting for a little warmth its been a cool wet Spring this year

The Plaza de España is is a beautiful collection of buildings in the Parque de María Luisa in Seville. It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The Plaza was, designed by Aníbal González, was a principal building built on the Maria Luisa Park's edge to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. González combined a mix of 1920s Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque Revival and Neo-Mudéjar styles. The Plaza de España complex is a huge half-circle; the buildings are accessible by four bridges over the moat, which represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain. In the centre is the Vicente Traver fountain.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

* A second shot from Spurn Point this time looking inland. Spurn is well known as somewhere to see fantastic sunsets . However this evening it was not that spectacular but still rather enjoyable to see . This was taken looking across the Humber estuary towards the East Yorkshire “ mainland “ . There is not a lot of water in the shot just some very wet mudbanks .

If you are interested in the area there is a description of Spurn Point in the text of my previous post

Hello Flickr Friends ❤️💙

It's been awhile, I've missed being here admiring and enjoying your photos, I look forward to catching up soon! :) I hope you are well, enjoying the season in your neck of the woods!:)

....travelling is a privilege, grateful and lucky to be able to experience a new place!

. .. Newfoundland was a bucket list place to visit. The 2 things I hoped to see most was an iceberg and a Puffin. yay :) (Puffin photo coming soon)

.....As such you can imagine how incredible this was to witness part of this iceberg falling off and crashing into the ocean!... ..still in complete awe! lol . The sound and details of it collapsing!..the wave it created. the chances to witness such a thing in nature! (and safely) :) I will treasure the moment forever.

The color, and size was magnificent! every angle is a completely new look to an iceberg. I will be posting more:)

Even though I researched the best time to see icebergs, it does not always guarantee you will. Apparently last year there were none in this area. Twillingate.(part of iceberg alley)...it all depends on the weather, currents, wind direction etc.

"Q: How much of an iceberg is below water?".....Answer below at the end:)

some more fascinating facts if you are interested:

icebergfinder.com/s/facts

________________

"A: Almost 90% of an iceberg is under water, hence the phrase “tip of the iceberg.” Its maximum width under water is 20-30% larger than you can see at the surface. The average depth, or draught of an iceberg, is slightly less than its apparent length above water."

T-Minus two hours. It's been months since I've been out nightscaping and I'm feeling like Rip VanWinkle, as I am throwing my gear in the car on my way to the Nightscape Photography Conference In Moab Utah.

So proud to announce that I have been invited to speak at the conference.......Wait, wait, hold-up. I'm not sure if I was "invited" It was more like I finagled my way into a spot on the staff, It's really a bizarre story too hard too believe, but to make a long story short, after talking to Royce Bair on the phone I managed to, via Royce's kindness land a spot in a side conference room.

That quickly changed to two presentations and two workshops. I have spent the last two years preparing a line of products that teaches the techniques I use in the field to navigate, plan alignments and predict the weather.

I think I found a niche.

The Smart App bootcamp sold-out in 5 Hrs. Whaaaat!

Wait, it gets better. Well maybe I will save that for my next post.

I should mention that Wayne Pinkston had a hand in my participation there, he has got to be the coolest "Night walker" on the face of the Earth.

Thanks Wayne and Thanks to Royce as well. You guys are two amazing people!!!

Wish me luck my friends!!!

Thanks as always, for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and reading my descriptions.

I am always grateful for your views, comments, faves, and support, they are truly appreciated!! Have a great day my friends!! :)

Here in Brazil we are already counting down to the summer, me and family countdown to vacations. And in this vacation, in early December, we will cross the continent and land in Portugal to know the land of the discoverers. Enjoy the cold weather, and enjoy good Portuguese cuisine and beautiful cities.

* I'm grateful for visit, favs and comments of my photo.

I'll be on vacation with my family, enjoying the beginning of summer here in Brazil.

Return here on Flickr, with more photos, in February 2017.

When the world looks at me

I wonder what they see

Underneath these eyes

Oh, smiles masquerade as pain

And grow up to be shame

Then leave me with a lie

I know they, they don't see my flaws

Or these hidden scars

And all the mess I've made

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

Ey, ey, ey

I'm tired of this dirty heart

That keeps our world apart

I need Your loving fire

And even in these church clothes

I can't dress up my soul

To be free is my desire

I'm so far from where they think I am

But when I raise my hands

I'm reaching out for life

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

I know they, they don't see my flaws

Or these hidden scars

And all the mess I've made

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

Running to Your grace

Ooh, I need it everyday

Things I Am Grateful For Today (And Always)

Needless to say I am grateful for many things in my life- including traveling....

This little American goldfinch was grateful to see the sun shining once again even though it didn't do much to warm the day up at all as the polar express pumps more cold air into the region.

This time of year I feel especially grateful. I'm very grateful for all of you, my Flickr friends. Without asking, you give me joy...and that joy turns into a creative attitude:)

I think we all believe that grateful living is a celebration of the universal give and take of life. A limitless yes to belonging.

And I feel a very special sense of belonging with all of you, my Flickr friends.

The flat lay portion of this image is for a weekly theme:

I'll post each day until Christmas as I finally have some time away from work to play with my camera.

Blessings, Joan

In a small valley in the Luberon hills surrounded by forests in Provence sits the beautiful abbey of Sénanque. This shot was taken standing inside the Abbeys cloisters in 2018

The abbey was consecrated in 1178. Amongst its surviving structures, arefine examples of Romanesque architecture including the abbey church, cloister, dormitory and chapter house. The abbey is a remarkably untouched by time the architecture is quite severe , not to offer sensual distraction.

In the 13th and 14th centuries, Sénanque reached its apogee, operating four mills, seven farms and possessing large estates in Provence. In 1509 the community at Sénanque had shrunk to about a dozen monks. During the Wars of Religion the quarters for the lay brothers were destroyed and the abbey was ransacked by Huguenots. At the French Revolution the abbey's lands were nationalised, the one remaining monk was expelled and Sénanque itself was sold to a private individual. It was only in 1854 that the Abbey returned to its traditional role

* To continue our globetrotting we now arrive in the Lofoten Islands in Norway.

The drive through the Lofoten Islands from Solvar to Reine was full of interest. Lots of beautiful places to stop off at though time as ever was limited. I thought the little settlement of Hamnoy looked particularly attractive I could have done with more time to explore it properly. This is a view of the harbour of the village .

I must say that while Highland Scotland was stunning I still think the Lofoten Islands in Arctic Norway are the most beautiful place I have visited in Europe . Scotland does have one or two advantages though, its a lot closer and much cheaper to have a holiday in

Medium-sized songbird with predominantly dark plumage, a very short crest, and crimson bill and legs. Long tail and bill impart an elongated appearance. Head color varies considerably across distribution, ranging from white to dark gray to black. Often travels in large flocks, which move noisily between fruiting trees. Most commonly found in broadleaf evergreen and mixed deciduous forests but also regularly visits gardens and lowland forests. Extremely noisy, with a huge repertoire, emitting various squeaks, meows, chatters, whistles, and more. (eBird)

I love these bulbuls! Although we saw or heard them several times around Chiang Mai, this is the one and only photo that I got of them. I am grateful that they picked such a nicely lit spot for a quick rest before moving on.

We were lucky enough to watch this heron for several minutes as it struggled to dispatch it's rather large prey.

Any help with the fish identification will gratefully be received. I suspect now that it's a short spined sea scorpion.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.

I knew that I would post my last pick on May 18th when I took it and I did a lot of research for the days leading up to SH's explosion and seeing all that beauty blasted away in seconds reminds of how glad I am to be living here in this time while Rainier is in it's prime. Breathtaking beauty everywhere you look and sometimes you don't have to look too hard, just wait for the light. :-) Absolutely must be viewed large, that means you too Franky! :-)

I THINK that I caught up with everyone after having been gone for days, if not let me know.

Merry Christmas Everybody!!

I'm grateful to be feeling better this week so I took a walk at my local botanical garden to see what was blooming in the desert in November.
