Have a nice week!
On a grey day the sun burst through the clouds and the wet ground and waterlogged field glistened and shimmered; and the trees cast a mirror image in the reflected waters.

Sitting indoors, watching the interminable rain this Winter, and going through some shots from last year,I remembered this wet miserable day in early May....totally transformed....by the showing of this beautiful bird.... singing its heart out.....A-m-a-zing..!!!
Thanks all for having a look, faving,and,commenting on my shots...always appreciated.
I took this photo during a heavy rain on Charles bridge while under cover under the eastern portal. I have published 3 more photos from this rain episode which you will find earlier in my photostream. Hope you like it and if you like it a lot you know what to do :)
Raining... raining... raining... Bad summer... :(

heavy rain over Tintagel coast in Cornwall, but right over the sea there were streaks of light announcing the end of the bad weather
These were the last hours before boarding train home after 2 days of hiking in the Carpathian Mountains around peak Lopata.
Delightful rain on today's walk. I think these leaves are on a Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum). Love those hues. (Only cyan boosted. Just experimenting.)
Hope this pleases you as much as the rain did for me. You didn't have to protect your camera and new-ish lens, either.
Or did rain find you? I'm hoping enough rain fell to suppress the forest fires that surround the Pacific Northwest, including Canada just north of us.
Comments not necessary ;)
Heavy rain has been falling throughout Victoria since last night, there are flood warnings out everywhere.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

Caught in a rainstorm. I don't believe it could have been raining much harder.
This abstract looking image is a photo that I captured, through a windshield of a vehicle during a complete downpour.
The colourful light display was that of the rear lights of a bus, ahead in the traffic.
The image was caught between the swipes of the windshield wipers.
( For your information ...... I was the passenger )
A special thanks to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I would also, like to extend my thanks, to all those who place my images in their beautiful galleries, or use my images for their covers.
Additionally, I am truly humbled to receive so many thoughtful and generous testimonies. I cannot express how deeply touched and honoured I am, to find such caring and beautifully written words left on my behalf.
Happy Clicks

Some heavy rain against a backdrop of distant trees - with a little added saturation ; )
Happy Slider Sunday!

#MacroMonday
#unusualpatterns
Weather forecast on a knife blade. On a Damascus steel knife blade, to be precise. Not what I initially had in mind, but that so often is the case when it's one of the "MM themes of the 1000 possibilities". Usually, for such a wide theme, I only have a few vague ideas what I could do for it, and the end result is pretty much a random surprise of what looks, firstly, most interesting through the macro lens, and, secondly, best as a photo, of course. Also, what is easy when it's not asked for - such as finding interesting patterns - becomes nearly impossible when it's required: patterns positively seemed to escape me as I went looking for them around the apartment ;-) And when I saw the knife in the kitchen (I hadn't even considered it as a possibility) I just thought "OK, that's probably very boring, but I'll give it a try." As for the "macro lens surprise", that was that not only did the banding typical for Damascus steel looked like waves (often an intended effect, but I only learned about that when I did my research on Damascus steel for the description and the tags), but those scratches from sharpening the knife that you can see in the upper part of the image also looked like heavy rain. And here it was, unfolding before my eyes: the high seas tempest.
The setup for the photo was as simple as it gets: I simply propped the knife, sharp side of the blade up, against a jar of sugar (my photo studio also doubles as breakfast and dinner table), both of it sitting on top of a heavy book to give it the same height as my camera on its small table top tripod, positioned one LED lamp (warm light) at the side of the table and grabbed my LED torch (cold light) to illuminate the blade from above (which also added the ever so slight 3D effect on the upper part of the blade), enabled the in-camera focus-stacking function, and hit the shutter button. I shot three focus stacking sequences of different parts of the knife of which this looked best.
Processing steps: The cold / warm light effect is something I get quite often when I use different light sources as above mentioned. It even works with one artificial light source (provided it gives warm light) and daylight from the window. Here I liked the split tone effect very much because I think it adds more depth to image. I wish I could have achieved the vivid colours you see here entirely by the use of light and the use of a colour filter (warm-cold or a combination of a cooling and a warming filter), but I've only recently considered to buy a few photo filters to improve my landscape photography, and since a good filter is expensive, I think I will buy one or two more versatile filters first before checking out the more exotic colour filters. So the colour enhancement here was done in Lightroom, where I tweaked the saturation and luminance of the blue, yellow and orange tones, and then in Nik's Color Efex, where, as final touch, I applied a Bi-color filter. I hope that these processing steps are deemed OK according to the new MM rules regarding the editing of an MM shot. I also did some sharpening and de-noising in Topaz Sharpen AI ("Focus" yielded the best result).
HMM, Everyone, and have a beautiful and safe week ahead!
Selecting the UP arrow in the top right corner on this pic works quite nicely :-)

Have a nice day!
Caught in a sudden torrential downpour, a crowd of huddled pedestrians in their rush-hour commute scuttle across the city street, headed home via the nearest subway train.
Or at least that's what I see :-)
This past Saturday, after my cousin Ida's funeral, as if that wasn't sad enough, a severe storm swept through the Ottawa & Quebec area downing trees & powerlines! I got home just in time, the wind was whistling through my windows, a very frightening half hour! Luckily I didn't loose power, but sadly hundreds of thousands lost power & over 150 power lines are down! It's truly devastating! I'll post a picture of the destruction tomorrow.
The Norwegian Royal Family and the Norwegian Government use the Cathedral for public events. It's called Oslo Cathedral (Norwegian: Oslo domkirke).
And this concludes the tour in Oslo for today 😄😊😁😂.
Torrential rain over a Scottish lake.
I think it looks a bit oriental??? let me know your thoughts....

Everybody is either looking down to avoid the rain or hiding under umbrellas or hoods, everybody hurrying off to get into a shop or a tram ☔.
Wow what a weather! I live a bit up in the mountains so I can see snow anytime now.
I better use my hair dryer a lot these days 😬😁😂😂.
William Street Brisbane as it used to be, before they bulldozed it to make another casino. Rant over.
