My intention was to get shots of waterfowl, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity when this Red Phalarope swam by.
Happy Thanksgiving!

(Gaio, Portugal) Obviously I had the intention to suggest this particular idea. The overall composition was carefully studied to produce a scenario that would transport you to Arrakis. To give some "heat" I warmed a little.
With the intention of promoting his hometown, young Luxembourg artist Alain Welter has created several monumental frescoes in Kahler (or Koler in Luxembourgish).
To earn his illustrator's diploma, Alain launched the "Make Koler Kooler" art project in 2017 as part of his final thesis. He prepared documentation to obtain grants and the approval of the municipality and local residents. "They were reluctant at first. However, after seeing the first creations with their own eyes, I gained their trust," Alain tells us. Working with other local artists, the graffiti artist transformed the facades of houses and barns into vibrantly colored works of art. Designed according to the wishes and specific needs of the residents of each building, the murals tell the story of Kahler.
“Howdy Farm,” the first artwork created as part of this project, was drawn on the wall of a barn, as it represents traditional values and an essential feature of the village, such as the farm and its rural animals that are an integral part of the Kahler landscape.
Alain was inspired in particular by the village's coat of arms to design the crows on the "Koler Hollywood Sign" installed in the middle of the field on Rue de Garnich. "In Kahler, cinema is particularly popular, hence my idea of creating the wooden installation of the five letters of my locality as a nod to Hollywood.

Avec l’intention de valoriser son lieu natal, le jeune artiste luxembourgeois Alain Welter a réalisé plusieurs fresques monumentales à Kahler (ou bien Koler en luxembourgeois).
Afin d’acquérir le diplôme d’illustrateur, Alain a lancé en 2017 le projet artistique « Make Koler Kooler » dans le cadre de son mémoire de fin d’études. Il a préparé une documentation pour obtenir des subventions ainsi que l’accord de la commune et des riverains. « Ces derniers étaient réticents au début. Cependant, après avoir vu de leurs yeux les premières créations, j’ai gagné leur confiance », nous confie Alain. En collaboration avec d’autres artistes locaux, le graffeur a transformé les façades des maisons et des granges en œuvres d’art aux couleurs éclatantes. Conçues suivant les désirs et les particularités des habitants de chaque immeuble, les murales racontent l’histoire de Kahler.
« Howdy Farm », la première œuvre d’art créée dans le cadre de ce projet a été dessinée sur le mur d’une grange, car elle représente les valeurs traditionnelles et une caractéristique essentielle du village, telles que la ferme et ses animaux ruraux qui font partie intégrante du paysage de Kahler.
Alain s’est inspiré notamment des armoiries du village pour dessiner les corbeaux du « Koler Hollywood Sign » installé au milieu du champ sur la rue de Garnich. « À Kahler, le cinéma est particulièrement apprécié, d’où mon idée de créer l’installation en bois des cinq lettres de ma localité pour faire un clin d’œil à Hollywood.

Can see the machine quilting here. Eyeballed straight lines with the intention of them being a bit haphazard looking. Used the stripes on the front as guides.
My intention was to stitch 5 HDR tiles into this ultra wide-angle panorama, but since DxO OpticsPro 11 has a nice and flexible way to achieve the same thing with single-shot HDR filter, I gave it a try.
And I have to say, stitching in Hugin + applying the single-shot HDR filter + fine-tuning takes a lot less time than HDR tonemapping in Photomatix, then stitching in Hugin, etc ... The result might lack "vibrance" or that "HDR something", but in some cases I think this will work better. :-)
My intention was to capture beautiful light on this morning and there were few moments when it did show up and I was lucky enough to capture it. This shot was made from the Central Park West.
Este Suiriri estava me atacando, aproveitei para tirar algumas fotos dele. A minha intenção, pretenciosa eu sei, era fotografá-lo o mais perto possível, focado, em pleno vôo. Creio que consegui!
This Tropical Kingbird was charging me, because I was too close to their nest...The following series shows all the charging. My intention, pretentious, I know, was to take some photos, in focus, more closer as possible, in flight. And I think I´ve got it!
Suiriri ou Siriri - Tropical kingbird (Tyrannus melancholicus)
Names in:
* Scientific name: Tyrannus melancholicus
* Dutch: Tropische koningstiran
* French: Tyran mélancholique
* Portugese (Braz.): Siriri
* Spanish: Pitirre chicharrero
* Surinamese: Krontogrikibi/Tontoli
* Guyana: Ball catcher
* Carib: Poeliemaloe
* Arowak: Oliekotolie
A very common bird (lenght 20 cm) with a grey head, white throat, brown wings, a yellow belly and a powerfull bill. It has a orange spot on its head but that is mostly unobservable.This flycatcher is found in open country with trees. There you see it sitting without moving (often in palms) to fly up to catch insects in a typical flycatacher way. It is as agressive against intruders like the great kiskadee and will chase after big birds like the yellow-headed caracara.
Identification Tips:
* Length: 7? inches
* Large head and bill
* Range in United States mostly restricted to southeastern Arizona
Adult:
* Dark, forked tail
* Pale gray head with contrasting darker cheeks
* Grayish-olive upperparts
* Pale throat and darker breast
* Bright yellow lower breast to undertail coverts
Juvenile:
* Upperparts browner than adult
* Pale edges to wings
Similar species:
The Tropical Kingbird is most similar to the Couch's Kingbird and can best be identified by its different calls. Western and Cassin's Kingbirds are similar but lack dark cheeks and have less-forked tails. Cassin's Kingbird has a darker breast. Western Kingbird has white outer tail feathers. Thick-billed Kingbird usually has whiter underparts and has a darker head. Brown-crested, Ash-throated and Dusky-capped Flycatchers are somewhat similar but have darker, browner crowns and unforked tails.
Length and wingspan from: Robbins, C.S., Bruun, B., Zim, H.S., (1966). Birds of North America. New York: Western Publishing Company, Inc.

Clitheroe, Lancashire
Last Saturday we decided to get out and about with the intention of heading to Hebden Bridge, however, there was a Steam Punk festival on that weekend and we thought it might be chock-a-block and difficult to park, so we opted for Plan B and Clitheroe, purely down to a recommendation of a work colleague of Mrs R.
Now, we've never been to Clitheroe and I very much imagined it to be a down trodden northern mill town that has seen better days. Much like Bolton with more than its fair share of betting shops, pound shops and the all too familiar "gone out of business" boarded up shops, but more depressing... how wrong can one be!!!
But first things first, our Saturday morning ritual starts with a weigh-in... I've lost count of the number of diets we've tried over the years, but this one seems to be doing the trick and reaping good results. Personally, I've found best results are obtained by standing on the scales in the buff whilst hanging on to the ceiling light... well... every little helps! Which reminds me, it must have been a wee bit chilly early Saturday morning judging by the expression on Mrs R's face.
Did I really write that or did I just say it in my head...?
Anyway, I'm now down to my lowest weight in probably the last five years and so a slap up breakfast was firmly on the cards - after all, I've got another week to lose it all again. The drive to Clitheroe was pretty straight forward and we duly arrived way before 9am. Not expecting many places to be open, we were surprised to find a cafe just opening - Brioche. A couple had just beaten us in but there were plenty of tables so we sat in the window watching the world not go by. Now, when you're craving food (and I'm not talking any of that muesli crap) there's only one meal to start the day. However, not wanting to undo all the good work of the past week, I studied the menu for "healthy" options - I know, who am I trying to kid! There was the "standard" breakfast or the "big" breakfast... being a numbers sort of guy I noticed that there was only a couple of quid difference between the two, but the big breakfast was pretty much two of everything - 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms, beans, tomato and black pudding as well as toast. The economics of the two was a no brainer - I ordered the "big".
But all this is just small talk - the two places we were recommended to visit were the Food Hall and Beer Hall in the Holmes Mill (more of that later) and if we got chance, pop in and have a browse around D. Byrne & Co. To be fair, neither of us are big drinkers and know nothing about wine, whiskeys or gins, but this is an Aladdin's cave of alcohol. There isn't a single square inch of space on the walls that isn't covered by bottles, and there are a further couple of rooms equally as packed. Well worth visiting for the array of drinks on offer... I can think of several people here in Flickr land who could pass a day in here.
I'm sure you can get the odd bottle cheaper at Tesco's but this is for the real connoisseurs with prices to match. This is the main man himself - Mr Byrne, a most helpful gentleman and obliging to us togs. Needless to say, a few bottles were purchased including gin, which we got a liking for on holiday... chink chink cheers!
Footnote...
Judging by the shops and cars in Clitheroe, it's clearly an affluent little town, but it was an overheard conversation in a local newsagents that sealed the deal. For those of a certain age, you might remember the Yellow Pages advert (1983) featuring a Mr JR Hartley and a copy of Fly Fishing. Roll on nearly 40 years and we've just gone into the newsagents for a bottle of water. We passed the only customer who stopped to look at the magazine racks on his way out having just paid for a few items. The shopkeeper enquired if there was anything else he could help with? The man replied "I was hoping to find a copy of Investors Chronicle, you wouldn't happen to have a copy?"... if that's doesn't ooze wealth then I don't know what does, unless you all subscribe to it!
I'm here all week, thank you and good night!
Our intention that day was to visit high points on the surrounding hills where radio masts were located, as that is the likely location of good butterflies. However the one we initially aimed for had no obvious route there and another we did reach was not a good spot, so we mainly stopped beside the road at various places.
A species I have seen occasionally. I was particularly pleased to get a decent dorsal photo of it which is often hard to get. My only previous such photo was of a very damaged individual.
My take on today's page. A letter to myself with how I intend to live this year. Along with some wisdom gathered from friends.
Actually, my intention was to upload this pic to my stream to use it as cover photo and delete it afterwards.
Just done some of you had already faved it.
So I decided to hold it on the stream although you know it already from: sunrise0815.
By the way, you can visit me on instagram now:

I had no intention to catch the stars in the shot basically :) . All the reason out in the midnight was the milyway for which i had aboslutely no clue.
So to overcome the disappointment, i had to please myself with SOME astro photography. THAT is already over and now there is some more from here and there :-)
The intention was to drive across to Tenby (roughly 1hr 40mins) to capture a stunning sunrise over the harbour.
I set myself up and rattled off a few exposures to check my composition. Soon enough the rain set in and put to bed my idea of a glorious sunrise.
Instead I came away with this shot of the harbour during the blue hour at sunrise.
Guess his intention... 😬😎😜😋
(All I can say is he doesn't plan on getting married)
Noun: intention -in'tenshun-
1. An anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions
"good intentions are not enough"
2. (usually plural the goal with respect to a marriage proposal
"his intentions are entirely honorable"
3. An act of intending; a volition that you intend to carry out
"my intention changed once I saw her"
My intention was to be there at sunset but I stopped too often to see things along the road and the sun was gone. It's only 2,8 km from family's home in a very small village in Zeeland, Netherlands. The farmer will cut off the flowers in June and only sell the bulbs. My father-in-law told me they ate tulip bulbs during the WW II to survive. Maybe I should try tulip cake.
The intention this morning was to go to Avebury paul has a new lens so he was desperate to try it but as ever things don't work out as you expect.
the drive to Avebury looked very promising lots of low cloud/mist a slight covering of snow/ice. but that was on the way, Avebury nice but clear, so we headed for the edge of west woods hoping to walk through to Pewsey vale not to be i am afraid we walked a long way found some great locations on the way but not what we expected which is so often the case.
This image was taken on the way back to the car.
the wife has a list of jobs for me today so had to be back at a reasonable hour but a nice walk and worth going back to.
@ the Abyss (I jumped over the fence(no-fly region) to take this and I didn't even add a frame. The SIM really is this beautiful)

This is (well in the boundaries of a superhero-story ) how i picture a variety of a bellicose species, who travels space to find War(well apart from the heels...but i had no other red scifi-shoes>.< )..... She is a Mercenary.
My intention is to motorize this engine with 2 PF L motors and a BuWizz 2.0, which I don’t have currently. Although it can be motorized with other motors and official Lego battery boxes. I should be able to fit in a PU battery box and a PU L motor (after gutting my Gorda steamer).
A head I was painting frosted up from this crappy weather. SECOND TIME THIS WEEK.
One crappy over-exposed Endo shot + 29 layers and 2.5 hrs. For my pissy-feels.
Go watch Rise of the Guardians if you haven't.... It's really cute. <3
In the meantime, I'm just gonna weep. Heads wanna go home. *sighs*

My intention was to capture Aurora Borealis over this old mill near Wiarton, Ontario. I set up my camera and captured a few photos as sun was setting to get the mill illuminated. I ended up using a 3-shot HDR created in the Canon DPP software as the illuminated photo,
The three photos were taken with:
F8
ISO 100
shutter speed - variable
same lens as below
I then ran my camera for a little over 4 hours with the following settings:
Canon SL3
Tokina 11-16 lens at 11mm
15 sec exposure
F2.8
ISO 1600
I used StarStax to create the star trails and then masked the illuminated HDR in to give the mill some presence.
I used Pixelmator Pro to layer the HDR and StarStax photos and to mask.
I am still learning how to do all of this but thought this was a pretty good representation of the star trails with the mill visible.
I did not want to overprocess this with too much exposure or colour but might do so if I play with how I want the photo to look.
If you zoom in and see all sorts of short bright lines or dots, that will be the hundreds and hundreds of fireflies that were out. I made no attempt to remove them from the stacked images.
Any suggestions on ideas for processing shots like these, I am all ears. I think I have edited this about 4 times. This is a cooler temperature and I like it much better.
My intention this week was to get some shots of the wheat fields around my workplace until I stumbled across this little ladybird scuttling up and down one of the wheat heads - I'm loving the smooth, blurred background in this shot.
All views, favourites, comments and feedback are appreciated - thank you!

I always like shieldbugs This one is different to any I recall previously.
The intention for the day after Christmas was to chase the once-weekly Pan Am unit slurry train BFPO (Bellows Falls VT to Portland ME) along district 3 before the expected mid-day cloud cover. After a delay (this is Pan Am after all), the train was eastbound just after 10AM. This was probably the location that worked best for me, with ex-QNSL SD40-2, now GATX owner, MEC 3404 and friends getting 66 tanks east of the Rodney Hunt crossing in Orange MA. As a bonus, even managed to hide a bit of the second unit, a yellow LTEX leaser, the bane of Pan Am fans these days.
Whether the original intention of this Totem-Artwork was to bring the apparent opposites industry and nature together I have my own interpretation. I brought together black and white. Black as a color which presents the coal mining industry and as an opposite, white which is standing for cleanliness on the one hand. On the other hand white is a physical sum of all other colors and the Ruhr area is also connecting different contents e.g. industry, nature, history, different cultures or the typical mentality of the people living here.
Obwohl es die eigentliche Aussage des Totem-Kunstwerkes auf der Halde Haniel ist, die scheinbaren Gegensätze von Natur und Industrie zu verbinden, habe ich mit diesem Bild mal meine eigene Interpretation umgesetzt. Ich habe als Kontrastfarben lediglich Schwarz und Weiß vereint. Schwarz als Farbe, welche bildlich für den Bergbau der Region steht und Weiß als Kontrast. Im Gegensatz zu Schwarz steht Weiß hier für Reinheit auf der einen Seite. Andererseits ist Weiß auch die Summe aller sonstigen Farben und immerhin vereint auch das Ruhrgebiet die unterschiedlichsten Dinge wie z. B. Industrie, Natur, Geschichte, unterschiedliche Kulturen oder auch die typische Mentalität der Leute, die hier leben.
I had no intention to shoot more than a few lunar images last night/this morning, but when I saw the sky filled with a gorgeous, scattered mix of clouds, sat on the roof for hours playing with the resulting effects/variations. This one is a bit of an enigma, probably another high ISO (fun ;) and only a sliver of the moon, as you can probably see, shows up as the balance seems to be consumed by a dark cloud. I have a need to change my lunar, solar, et al., imagery quite often by adding experiments. Last night, the clouds, the night before that was welder's glass #5, ad nauseam. I'll try to post more of these, but this stream should return to analog once I either buy a processing kit for film or find a new lab to work with (I finished a roll of multi exposure redscale yesterday =).
Thank you for reading this far and for taking a look. Prost.
the intention was to capture some great creste grebes or swans or herons... or what ever... but this dragonfly was the eyecatcher of the morning. And it`s a matter of fact... you only reach beauty with a bit of a pain.. she was sitting right in a group of stinging nettles :=))).
a beautiful demoiselle
I had every intention of posting pics of how our place looked over Christmas before the gifts were unwrapped and the North Pole shut down for the off season, but the chaos of Christmas & all the befrazzlement it caused simply prevented me from doing so any earlier than now. Up until last night I had resigned myself to the fact that sharing these just wasn't in the cards for this year, esp. with all the Christmas hullabaloo gone or fading so fast, I didn't think it was still worthwhile to do so, however a few sweet friends have been giving me the push I needed to get these up here, Christmas over or not. So this is me squeezing some in before the year switches out. At least they are still this year's pics! P.S. Hope everyone had a really happy Christmas. There is a beautiful fresh new year upon us... I hope it's a great one for all!
My intention two days ago, on 4 October 2017, had been to drive some of the back roads a bit further north of where I have been two or three times before, almost as far as Olds. However, after finding myself on a couple of muddy, slushy, potholed country roads caused by our recent snow storm, I decided not to risk driving on any others. I ended up stopping and photographing a couple of my absolute favourite barns that I had seen a couple of times before, and was happy to see again. I first discovered the old barn in this photo - or is it a homestead? - on 28 October 2014.
My final stopping point towards the end of a day of driving N and NW of the city, was at the site where the McDougall Memorial United Church had stood. On 22 May 2017, this beautiful, historic church was burned to the ground by an arsonist. Such a very sad loss! Such a sad sight to see the burnt outer walls, knowing that that was all that was left of this special little church that was almost as old as Canada itself. I loved this little country church, especially the long, photogenic fence line leading up to it from the parking lot. The church was built in Carpenter's Gothic style of architecture. A sign had the following words on it:
"The historic church at the end of this pathway was constructed in 1875. At that time, native people were still hunting bison on the prairies. The young nation of Canada was only eight years old; the Canadian Pacific Railway still nine years in the future. And this church would become the heart of a thriving community, Morleyville, and for a time the largest settlement in what would be southern Alberta.
The story of this church is really the story of Rev. George McDougall who moved to western Canada with his family in 1862 to minister to the fur traders and native people. In 1873, the McDougalls established the first mission in the region and built this church. In doing so, they wrote an important chapter of Alberta's settlement history".
After George McDougall's tragic death in a snowstorm, his body was brought back to the church at Morleyville and laid to rest.

An enjoyable day out - a barn day, not a birding/wildlife day. I think the only birds I noticed were the usual Ravens. Seeing that snow is once again in our forecast in a few more days, I wanted to get this drive done while the weather was still decent. Today, the temperature is 16C with a heavily overcast sky. A day for hopefully getting a few errands run, and not taking photos.
