Photograph from the New Mexico badlands.

Salar de Talar is a large salt flat located in the high puna of northern Chilean Andes, at an altitude of 3,950 m. It is part of a series of salt lakes and salt flats located at the foothills of a chain of volcanoes stretching along the eastern side of the much greater Salar de Atacama. The salty flat is bordered on the west by Caichinque and on the east by Cerro Medano, is a mountain with striking shades of grey and brown, which contrast nicely with the sparkling white of the salt flat's surface. On top of that, colourful ponds fringe its shores. Salar de Talar is a part of the Central Andean dry puna ecoregion, which in this zone is characterized by tussock grass vegetation.

This big Elephant performed the incredible act using his trunk to grab the juicy leaves. This unusual behaviour has rarely been photographed. (Satara, Kruger National Park, RSA)

Let's face it now, it isn't everyday we see a genuine example of anti gravity anywhere let alone in agarden is it now? Yet here we have it along with the evidence, and not just any garden - it's in our garden! I know, it's incredible, but its not for sale so don't even go there.

 

The only other example I can think of is those UFO things that keep turning up on people's phones, but as folks don't believe in those, that makes this little baby unique does it not.

 

I'll tell you something else, it's totally silent, doesn't make a sound and you can pass your hands all around and underneath it like one of those stage magicians - it doesn't seem to mind. Nor, does it limit itself to any one flowerbed, oh no it moves with it's whims not just the sun, hot border in the morning, vegetable patch in the afternoon - it even followed me into the house one day!

 

A couple of days after taking this very photo, my wife and I had to pop to the garden centre (we were looking for something inter dimensional) and this little baby kept pace with us for an entire kilometre. It was only as we turned out of our road and my wife put the pedal to the metal that we thought we had lost it - I say 'thought' because when we pulled into the car park at the garden centre about 10 miles away there it was! I don't think anyone else saw it for it was hovering about 50 feet in the air directly over the compost bags, as it did so it slowly rotated and as the sun caught its petals it appeared to change colour - just like one of those bona fide UFOs that don't exist, and when we got home an hour later, there it was, sunning itself next to the garlic. I know, I know, it's incredible, but it isn't for sale so don't even go there....

Ball-Dahlie Martina…

"Martina" ist unglaublich schön mit ihren leuchtend weißen Blütenblättern, die an ihren Spitzen mit sanftem Lila-Rosa gebürstet sind und die perfekte Form der Blüten hervorheben.

 

Ball Dahlia Martina...

"Martina" is incredibly beautiful with her bright white petals, which are brushed at their tips with soft purple-pink, and highlight the perfect shape of the flowers.

 

Thanks for your Views Faves and Comments, have all a Day. 🍂 ✌

 

Véritablement posé sur un "manège" naturel, qui tourne selon la direction du vent, je réussi à figer cette scène assez incroyable ou ce spécimen semblez jouer avec le mouvement de son support...

Really placed on a natural "merry-go-round", which rotates according to the direction of the wind, I managed to freeze this rather incredible scene where this specimen seems to play with the movement of its support...

We h ad an incredible pelagic out of Tofino yesterday. We had 1 endangered Short-tailed Albatross and 15 near-threatened Laysan Albatrosses and several Black-footed Albatrosses so we had the trifecta! It was incredible because Short-tailed are extremely rare and last year at this time we had 3 Short-tailed s on a similar trip last march and we never thought it would happen again! I was really happy about seeing the Laysan Albatrosses since I have been trying for several years to see one in BC waters. The Laysan was BC Bird #427 for me. We ended up seeing an incredible number of them 15 to be exact! At one point we had 9 sitting all together. I went from seeing none for several years to seeing a flock! totally crazy! We lucked out by finding a few fishing boats but the best part was three young birders were on board and for 2 of them it was their first pelagic and they were lucky to hit the jackpot!. Their smiles and excitement were the best part of the trip for me.

 

We also had some incredible marine mammals this trip : 2 Humpback Whales, 1 Sea Otter, 4 Northern Fur Seals and a rare first for most on board which were 30 Risso's Dolphins and 4 Northern Right Whale Dolphins.

I went back to take pictures of the ice sculptures during night time. It sure looks better with all the lights in the background.

Had great lunch Yesterday watching the butterflies from the window, so much traffic with all the insects, also time for the Goldfinches to gather Sunflower seeds.

Have a nice weekend.

This is the first time I've seen a sunset like this tonight.

I wish you a pleasant evening and thank you for visiting!

The magnificent hummingbird is larger than some of the other species but certainly not the largest. What is a challenge is to capture his beauty because if the light is not hitting him straight on you would never see these amazing colors. I have been photographing them for years and this is probably the one that best shows off his beauty !! I truly love him and the white around the eye is one of his distinguishing features !!

 

Wishing you a great evening and a very blessed one !!!!!!

In Japan's Sagano Bamboo Forest, on the outskirts of Kyoto, towering green stalks of the famously versatile plant sway in the wind, creaking eerily they collide and twist, leaves rustling.

 

If you've ever clicked on a rundown of "places to see before you die" or a compilation of the most beautiful forests in the world, chances are you've seen a photo of Sagano.

 

Located in the gorgeous Arashiyama district of western Kyoto, the Sagano Bamboo Forest's popularity has expanded in recent years, coinciding with the growing number of Buzzfeed-esque articles that include it on superlative-heavy travel lists.

 

Though it's the beauty of the bamboo that brings in the masses, those distinct rustling sounds have become an attraction in their own right. A few years ago the Ministry of Environment included the Sagano Bamboo Forest on its list of "100 Soundscapes of Japan" -- a selection of everyday noises intended to encourage locals to stop and enjoy nature's music.

The snow is falling and the sun sets at 4:30pm - so it seems fitting, at least for today to post a dark image. I had a good time with this crow, we sort of had a moment together. I love this pose, even with the head out of focus. The feathers look like a work of art - perhaps this is why I am so fascinated with birds:)

 

Have a lovely weekend! And I'm incredibly grateful for your visit:)

Hi, Me again...

 

In April 2021, I received my first 35mm as a gift from a fellow photography enthusiast. I seriously had no idea what I was doing but I immeditely knew I enjoyed it. The sound alone was enough to give me shivers!! Since then, I have shot a few rolls of film, find myself in possession of 5 new cameras, managed to process 2 rolls at home, 'scan', and now I'm ready to put them out there.

 

I don't ever profess to be a perfect photographer. If fact, I'm usually incredibly insecure. Digital photography always had me seeking perfection. It is silly because life isn't perfect, but regardless, I feared things like proper exposure and unconventional subjects. (Yes....insert eye roll here!)

 

The thing about film though, it has given me freedom it be imperfect, appreciate 'flaws' and embrace everyday life in an authentic and unpolished way. Film has given me permission to love the imperfect and see it for all its beauty. Also, the fact that my hands are on it from start to finish....well that... that alone gives me immense satisfaction.

 

So.....I'm saying be ready for the perfectly imperfect. And just to prove it...I resisted the urge to edit out my chicken pox scars. :-) I'm going to be brave and start sharing what I've been working on and what I love.

 

Here goes....

incredible evolution in sl. what people made in between to give us the possibility to create pictures almost realistic. remember when i started, many years ago, and i had problems to find a dark skin. my first one was a gift of skinmaker, who read about my wish in a forum. i was happy. and now i compare with the pictures today..... wooow

Il Ponte delle Torri di Spoleto è lungo 236 m. ed alto 82. È costituito da una strada con a fianco un sovrastante acquedotto. Tutta la costruzione e’ sorretta da portici ogivali e pilastri di pietra. Gli storici non hanno ancora raggiunto un accordo soddisfacente sulla data esatta di questa incredibile costruzione . Alcuni sostengono che fu costruito nel XIII secolo, probabilmente sopra i resti di un antico acquedotto romano.

 

The Ponte delle Torri of Spoleto is 236 m long. and 82 tall. It consists of a road with an overlying aqueduct alongside it.The whole construction is supported by pointed arches and stone pillars. Historians have not yet reached a satisfactory agreement about the exact date of this incredible construction. Some argue that it was built in the 13th century, probably on top of the remains of an ancient Roman aqueduct.

 

Thanks to my incredible Panda-loving friend Honey for posing… oh so patient, kind and beautiful!
