Sea of Dunes. © Copyright 2021 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Layers of sand dunes lead toward barren desert mountains, Death Valley National Park.
Death Valley is often a beautiful place, but there are places in this landscape that can appear quite desolate if you look in the right direction. In many landscapes most of what we see is what covers the scene, but here the underlying geology is often stripped bare and we are left with a landscape of rock and sand. Even where plants grow — more places than you might imagine — they do not cover the landscape in the manner of forests and meadows.
This photograph is about that way of seeing this landscape. The dunes build one after another toward their highest point, much like waves on the ocean. Beyond this there is a rugged desert mountain range. This photograph is what I think of as a subjectively true image. While you would never find a scene that literally looks exactly like this, this interpretation is true to one way of seeing the place.

This image is part of my photographic series Almodis, Countess of Montferrand, which I invite you to discover in the list of my albums. By consulting the photos in chronological order, and paying attention to their titles, you can follow the story of Almodis's life as Countess of Montferrand - according to the freedom of my novelistic interpretation, the first known chatelaine of the fortress so named.
In 1085, Count Pierre de Melgueil paid homage to the Pope and began the bipolarisation of the county of Substantion, which became the county of Melgueil and Montferrand. Construction of the castle of Montferrand began at the same time. The Count did not survive the completion of the project, and probably died as early as 1086. His widow, Almodis, inherited the castle and administered the county for the rest of her life.
Many thanks to the model for the double session (and the two walks...), which were necessary to obtain the different phases of the narrative. Thanks also to Suzanne for the loan of the '1085' dress.

The spectacular cliffs at Fowlsheugh are packed with more than 130,000 breeding seabirds during the spring and summer months. These include guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes, along with some puffins and fulmars too. If you're lucky, you might also spot grey seals and dolphins in the water here. Read more at www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/fowlsheu... Address: RSPB Fowlsheugh, Crawton, Stonehaven AB39 2TP. Grid ref: NO879808. A colourful coastal cliff top walk over grassland to view thousands of seabirds with a stunning backdrop of 30-metre sea cliffs should not be missed. Although the seabird experience is limited to May to early August, Fowlsheugh provides a great walk for all months of the year. A small shelter at the end of the trail overlooks the breeding ledges. The cliffs, mostly basalt and conglomerates of Old Red Sandstone, form a rock face with innumerable holes and ledges, providing ideal sites for cliff nesting seabirds.
My interpretation of the year 2020 🤔 Maybe I should save this one for Halloween? lol
Stacked image, one stack for foreground, one for sky (focus stacking). 13 images each, 24 mm f/1.4 lens at f/2.8, 13 sec, ISO 5000. A long time ago in a desert far, far away. Goodbye 2020! Excited about the prospects for 2021! BTW, notice all the little critter tracks in the sand. The desert is full of life!

To me the word "Untethered" means not tied or confined. So in turn I think of "freedom" and when I think of freedom I always think of butterflies. They always seem so free to wander and flutter by...
So this is my interpretation of the word Untethered and I hope you like it.
Os Passadiços do Cerro da Candosa, em Vila Nova do Ceira (Góis), oferecem um percurso pedestre seguro pelas encostas do vale do Rio Ceira, afluente do Mondego. Com cerca de 600 metros e 450 degraus, a estrutura de madeira serpenteia pelas fragas quartzíticas de 440 milhões de anos, resultado da transformação de areias marinhas. A iniciativa, promovida pela Junta de Freguesia e pelo município, visa revitalizar a região após os incêndios de 2017, permitindo o acesso a miradouros com vistas panorâmicas sobre o rio, a malha rural de Vila Nova do Ceira, e a Serra da Lousã. O percurso culmina no desfiladeiro conhecido como Cabril ou Portas do Ceira, um canhão fluvial com escarpas íngremes e vegetação exuberante. A intervenção integra-se numa estratégia de turismo sustentável, valorizando o património natural e promovendo a observação de aves e a interpretação ambiental nesta área de biodiversidade mediterrânica.
The Cerro da Candosa footbridges, in Vila Nova do Ceira (Góis), offer a safe pedestrian route along the slopes of the Ceira River valley, a tributary of the Mondego. With about 600 meters and 450 steps, the wooden structure winds through the 440 million year old quartzite cliffs, the result of the transformation of marine sands. The initiative, promoted by the Parish Council and the municipality, aims to revitalize the region after the 2017 fires, allowing access to viewpoints with panoramic views of the river, the rural network of Vila Nova do Ceira, and the Serra da Lousã. The route culminates in the gorge known as Cabril or Portas do Ceira, a river canyon with steep cliffs and lush vegetation. The intervention is part of a sustainable tourism strategy, valuing the natural heritage and promoting bird watching and environmental interpretation in this area of Mediterranean biodiversity.

A photograph is not only an image (as a painting is an image), an interpretation of the real; it is also a trace, something directly stenciled off the real, like a footprint or a death mask.

My interpretation of FlickrFridays theme "BeautyAndTheBeast"
I had seen a marvelous sunset and was about to trott my way over the hills, and there I saw them
They looked at me and cried for mom
I snapped some photos and ran
No Beast for my butt thank you
DENALI - The Great One - That's the common interpretation of the native Athabaskan name for Mt. McKinley (since officially renamed), North America's highest mountain at 20,310 ft. in elevation. On a clear day the mountain can be seen from Anchorage 150 miles to the south and in Fairbanks 150 miles to the north and at many other points in between along the route of Alaska's own railroad. Nowhere is the view more spectacular than in the Talkeetna area where the summit is less than 40 miles distant as the raven flies.
Here the Alaska Railroad's southbound weekly passenger train, the Aurora (235S), has paused to give the lucky visitors a spectacular view across the frozen Big Susitna River near MP 224 on the ARR's mainline. Eight miles to the south of Denali (left in the photo) is the 14,573 ft Mount Hunter.
This is what visiting Alaska and riding the Alaska Railroad is all about!

In this digital watercolor rendition derived from one of my photographs, the essence of Bruges, Belgium, comes to life along a tranquil canal. The scene masterfully captures the captivating beauty of the city's historic architecture, with a deliberate emphasis on the charming buildings that grace the canal's edge.
Soft, pastel hues delicately wash over the canvas, replicating the gentle play of sunlight on the aged facades. The architectural gems lining the canal are rendered with intricate detail, their centuries-old stories told through the meticulous strokes of the digital brush. The buildings showcase a harmonious blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles, with the warm tones of the brick facades complemented by the subtle interplay of shadows and highlights.
The reflection of these architectural wonders is hinted at in the calm waters of the canal, but the focus remains steadfast on the majestic structures rising proudly above the waterline. Each building boasts unique features—pointed arches, ornate stonework, and stepped gables—all contributing to the city's timeless allure. The digital watercolor technique adds a touch of ethereal beauty, creating a dreamlike quality that transports viewers to a place where history and art seamlessly converge.
The composition carefully balances the elements, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the buildings while maintaining the tranquility of the canal setting. As a result, the scene becomes a digital masterpiece that not only preserves the architectural splendor of Bruges but also infuses it with a sense of artistic interpretation and contemplative beauty.

COSA NON SI FA PER UN'IDEA....
Il tema di oggi che propone il gruppo "Macro Mondays" è "DIETRO IL VETRO" e sebbene il titolo offra mille interpretazioni, il pericolo di creare una macro banale è molto alto. Perciò mi sono affidato al colore ed ad una bottiglietta artistica che renda bene la trasparenza neccessaria....ecco che il tappo di sughero risalta molto bene....le sfere azzurre creano un'ulteriore contrasto cromatico.
-----------------------------------
WHAT YOU DON'T DO FOR AN IDEA ....
Today's theme proposed by the "Macro Mondays" group is "BEHIND THE GLASS" and although the title offers a thousand interpretations, the danger of creating a trivial macro is very high. So I relied on color and an artistic bottle that makes the necessary transparency well .... here the cork stands out very well .... the blue spheres create a further chromatic contrast.

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life /
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky /
But why, why, why can't it be /
Oh, can't it be mine?

"The song is about letting go... I've heard it said that you can't really have a true love unless it was a love unrequited. It's a harsh one, because then your truest one is the one you can't have forever."

"This monumental sculptural fountain was commissioned of Harry Bertoia by the City of Philadelphia in 1967 and was originally installed at the Civic Center in West Philadelphia. It was removed in 2005 when the Civic Center was scheduled for demolition and put into storage at a police impoundment where it remained for over a decade. In 2016, the Philadelphia’s Office of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy gave it to Woodmere under a long-term loan, and it was relocated to Woodmere public grounds later that summer. In celebration of the new installation, Woodmere held an exhibition on Bertoia’s sculptures"

Another side project in between commissions. The sculpting was finished a few weeks ago, but I finally got around to painting it.
I never liked LEGO's scout trooper helmet, the proportions and positioning of parts were all wrong. I was originally going to make this a decaled figure, but decided to sculpt it all the way. Knowing that walking around in Endor's mud is no clean task, I dirtied the boots and weathered the gun to make him look like he's seen a speeder chase or two.
The speeder is based off of BrickDoctor's speeder from ages ago, modified for my own interpretation. I figured if I was going to make a nice scene with this guy, it just wouldn't be complete without the speeder.
I'll post a video review after I post Rey's soon. So as always, expect more, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

The Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics holds that there are many worlds which exist in parallel at the same space and time as our own. The existence of the other worlds makes it possible to remove randomness and action at a distance from quantum theory and thus from all physics. Which is awesome for Schrödinger's cat! ;-p
First proposed by Hugh Everett in 1957.

The true finches are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Fringillidae. Finches have stout conical bills adapted for eating seeds and often have colourful plumage. They occupy a great range of habitats where they are usually resident and do not migrate. They have a worldwide distribution except for Australia and the polar regions. The family includes species known as siskins, canaries, redpolls, serins, grosbeaks and euphonias. Many birds in other families are also commonly called "finches". These groups include: the estrildid finches (Estrildidae) of the Old World tropics and Australia; some members of the Old World bunting family (Emberizidae) and the American sparrow family (Passerellidae); and the Darwin's finches of the Galapagos islands, now considered members of the tanager family (Thraupidae). Finches and canaries were used in the UK, Canada and USA in the coal mining industry, to detect carbon monoxide from the eighteenth to twentieth century. This practice ceased in the UK in 1986. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finch
Photography is about interpretation of a scene in reality. There are so many ways to interpret a scene. You can use different cameras or lenses, different compositions, different settings and exposure, or even different processing and editing in post-production.
When a photographer relies very much on post-production, he/she departs more from reality. In the extreme case, you can create an image without a real shot from camera!
You can do a fake infrared shot solely by post-production or software. I still do it with the low-tech way i.e. using my little Fuji X10 and the Hoya R72 infrared filter. The sunny summer day in Minoru Park means abundance of infrared light too. This is good day for infrared shot.
Wish you a good Sunday!

The US Army Corps of Engineers built this earthen dam, visible at center. The building at right is a USACE visitor center that features the river's history before European contact, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the dam's purpose and functions, and an overview of remaining ecosystems -- very much transformed by human-drive water flows and that big body of cold water in the reservoir. You can see a cluster of wayside signs about Lewis and Clark at far left.
The Corps is a partner of the National Park Service here. The NPS managed the Lewis and Clark National Historical Trail that passes here, as well as the Missouri National Recreational River that includes one stretch upstream of the reservoir and a second stretch along a semi-natural stretch downstream.
I'm in Nebraska, looking across the river to South Dakota.

I'm enjoying the return to landscape photography after a mild hiatus through the wedding season. Weddings are fantastic and fun to shoot but very different to the often careful and precise capture of an age old landscape or beautiful piece of architecture. I love both but am keen to get back into 'scaping with gusto over the xmas break.

350th anniversary of the Great fire of London.
As history would have it, the fire that engulfed London for four days began on Pudding Lane. A baker by the name of Thomas Farriner was blamed for the blaze - something he denied for the rest of his life.
The small blaze spread between September 2 and 5 1666, leaving 436 acres of the city completely destroyed.
On it's 350th anniversary, the capital is hosting a series of events to mark the dark period in its history.
Designed by American artist David Best, the London 1666 installation is part London's Burning, a festival of arts produced by Artichoke.
(I won't be there for the actual burning tonight so did my own interpretation :))
Stately and striking, Haddo House casts a huge impression from the moment you set eyes on it. Designed in 1732 by William Adam, the house underwent an opulent remodelling in the 1880s. As a result, it has the clean elegance and swooping lines of the Georgian style with a luxurious Victorian interior. Family portraits trace generations of Gordons, who played a huge part in Scottish history. George Gordon, 1st Earl of Aberdeen was Lord Chancellor of Scotland; the 4th Earl served as Prime Minister. More recently, Haddo was a maternity hospital during World War II – over 1,200 babies were born here. In 2016, a painting of the Madonna at Haddo received a lot of attention when it was identified as being probably by Raphael. We’re now working with Dr Matthias Wivel, curator of 16th-century paintings at the National Gallery in London, to try to arrive at a definitive attribution for this beautiful painting. The house is surrounded by a terrace garden with a lavish herbaceous border and geometric flower beds. A magnificent avenue of lime trees leads to Haddo Country Park. www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/haddo-house
