An entry for the group 52 in 2015 challenge, #16 Magical.
An entry for the challenge group 115 in 2015, #13 Superstition.
As it so often happens in the late evening, as the sky clears after a period of rain and showers, there is always the promise of an interesting sunset. With this in mind, I took my camera (and Kizzy for moral support) and went for a walk up our favourite fen road,hoping that disappointment would not be all that I got.
It was in fact quite an interesting walk, and we had everything from bright sunshine, sharp showers and even a beautiful rainbow. This shot (looking over cornfields) of the rainbow, with a flock of Greylag geese flying off to their roosting grounds (after a feed up on a nearby field of peas), was taken about 90 minutes before sunset.
I have submitted it for both groups an the basis that seeing a brilliant rainbow is a magical experience, and also because of the superstition of being able find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
With deadlines coming up,
the overwhelming numbing sensation
is oddly alarming
If only time could cease to be.
I need 6 photos to put in my portfolio in which relate to a theme. I was thinking maybe "conceptual" as a theme...

Explored # 43
This shot was taken in early January upstream from Low Force after an early start to catch the sunrise on the Durham Coast.
Really glad that my guide (thanks Justin) had previously made the walk up the Pennine Way and had found this great spot.
I'm currently without camera and my Mac is giving me grief so a strange place to be. Hoping for an upgrade on the camera soon and a fix on the computer as I have plenty to catch up on.
Thanks as ever for looking :)
After visiting the ruins of castle, we were walking a little in the village Asklipio :)
Asklipio is a small village on Rhodes island, located 64 km southeast of Rhodes capital. This lovely mountainous village is built amphitheatrically and stands out for its unique natural surroundings. The most important feature of Asklipio is the Medieval Castle which was built in 1479 by the Knights Hospitaller to protect the southern part of the island. In the Byzantine period, during the time of the Knights, the castle also offered the inhabitants of the surrounding villages protection against enemy attacks. It had rectangular bulwarks and two massive towers. Its only gate leads to the south-east corner tower. Two construction stages can be distinguished. Inside the castle there are preserved ruins of buildings and two tanks. From the walls of the castle there is a beautiful view on surroundings. At the center of the village stands also a lovely church of Virgin Mary built in 1060 A.D and right next to it is the old olive press whereas today it has become a Folklore Museum.

Po obejrzeniu ruin zamku poszliśmy sobie jeszcze na spacer po Asklipio :)
Asklipio to niewielka miejscowość w Grecji, położona w południowo-wschodniej części wyspy Rodos. Jednym z ciekawszych zabytków są tu usytuowane na malowniczym wzgórzu ruiny średniowiecznego zamku. Warownia wzniesiona została w XV wieku, kiedy to wyspa znajdowała się pod rządami zakonu joannitów. Głównym zadaniem zamku miała być ochrona mieszkańców Asklipio przed najazdami z zewnątrz. Z tej niegdyś imponującej twierdzy do czasów obecnych zachowały się jedynie ruiny w postaci bramy wejściowej oraz murów wewnętrznych. Ponadto obejrzeć można tu także wybudowane przez Włochów dwie wieże. Na terenie ruin uwagę przyciągają także dawne otwory po studniach. Jeden z nich stanowił niegdyś rzekomo wejście do podziemnego tunelu, gdzie mieszkańcy miasteczka skrywali się gdy wyspa najeżdżana była przez piratów. Z murów zamku rozpościera się przepiękna panorama okolicy. Odwiedzając Asklipio warto także zobaczyć gruntownie odrestaurowany XI wieczny kościół Zaśnięcia Najświętszej Marii Panny.
My favorite place to be in the wee hours of the morning -- when the sheets are cool from the morning air and all else in the house are up doing their thing! For 'guilty pleasure' prompt - day 13, August Break 2014
Door Corona en familieomstandigheden, waren we niet in staat om bij Plandampf in het Werratal te zijn. Maar na zoveel jaar kruipt het bloed toch waar het niet gaan kan. Daarom besloten mijn vader, mijn oudste zoon en ik in de meivakantie naar het voormalige Oost-Duitsland af te reizen om daar te genieten van smalspoor stoom.
Nadat we twee dagen de Zittauer Schmalspurbahn hadden bezocht, gingen we door naar Dresden. Daar werd als eerste de Lössnitzgrundbahn bezocht, gevolgd door de Weißeritztalbahn. En tenslotte werd de Fichtelbergbahn bezocht. Onderweg nog een bezoekje gebracht aan het station museum Schlettau, waar we in 1992 nog rondgelopen hebben tijdens Plandampf rondom Aue
Due to Corona and family circumstances, we were unable to join Plandampf in the Werratal. But after so many years, the blood creeps where it can't go. That is why my father, my eldest son and I decided to travel to the former East Germany during the May holidays, to enjoy narrow-gauge steam.
After visiting the Zittau Narrow Gauge Railway for two days, we continued to Dresden. The Lössnitzgrundbahn was the first to be visited there, followed by the Weißeritztalbahn. And finally we visited the Fichtelbergbahn. On teh way up there, we visited the museum station Schlettau. Last time we were here was during Plandampf in and around Aue in 1992.
Aufgrund von Corona und familiären Umständen konnten wir leider nicht bei Plandampf im Werratal sein. Aber nach so vielen Jahren kriecht das Blut dahin, wo es nicht hin kann. Deshalb haben mein Vater, mein ältester Sohn und ich beschlossen, in den Maiferien in die ehemaligen DDR zu reisen, um Schmalspurdampf zu genießen.
Nach einem zweitägigen Besuch der Zittauer Schmalspurbahn ging es weiter nach Dresden. Als erstes wurde dort die Lössnitzgrundbahn besichtigt, gefolgt von der Weißeritztalbahn. Und zuletzt besuchten wir die Fichtelbergbahn. Auf den Farht nach Cranzahl haben wir noch das Bahnhof Museum von Schlettau besucht. Hier waren wir in 1992 während den Plandampf Vernastaltung rundum Aue.
The Shah-i-Zinda Ensemble includes mausoleums and other ritual buildings of 9-14th and 19th centuries. The name Shah-i-Zinda (meaning "The living king") is connected with the legend that Kusam ibn Abbas, a cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, is buried here. He came to Samarkand with the Arab invasion in the 7th century to preach Islam. Popular legends speak that he was beheaded for his faith, but he didn't die, took his head and went into the deep well (Garden of Paradise), where he's still living now.
The Shah-i-Zinda complex was formed over eight (from 11th till 19th) centuries and now includes more than twenty buildings.

Two young women from Mandalay, Myanmar are working to carry clay from a boat floating on the river to a truck. The work is divided among these 2 women such that the first woman carries the basket half-way from the boat and the other woman carries it the other half-way to the truck.

This was an in-camera HDR (the camera auto-combines two images it shoots at different exposures) which has subtly lifted the shadows to provide a more even exposure than a straight shot.
It often works very well, but you run into problems when there is subject movement or a vast gap in required exposure levels across the scene.
Witnessing the birth of new land as lava pours into the ocean is dramatic, unforgettable and profoundly moving.
It is also technically challenging...shooting in the dark from a rocking boat on the open ocean isn't a piece of cake.
I've written an article with tips on how to do this (with lot of photos as well)...take a look at: www.firefallphotography.com/how-to-photograph-lava-from-a...

And following on from the previous image uploaded, 764-469 stands in the last of the sunshine that day in the valley out of Viseu. This stretch of line approximately one kilometre west of Cozia and just under 18 kilometres from Viseu has a unique setting on the railway which at this point does not hug the river and runs through a splendid sylvan setting of mature hardwood trees with towering hills on virtually all sides.

Interplanetary Travel
My last days on this planet. I am ending my search for life forms on this planet. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any trace of life. This is an abandoned planet. Just like the other planets I've visited. After I've done my final research, I'll have to prepare my spaceship for a new voyage. I'll post a few more photos from this planet. While floating in space, maybe we may have a communication problem for a while. When I set foot on a new planet, I'm sure I'll be able to reconnect. I will give you new information with the photo I will publish next. Some exciting facts about the planet I'm going to travel to. Stay tuned.

Well it's got to be an improvement on living in a box under a herb garden . Once Fifi finds my lap to sit on, she moves upwards (by clawing) and remains under my chin trying to hypnotize me. Fortunately I am a very busy person and have little time for this to happen.

FRANCE - unterwegs in Lyon, Kathedrale St. Jean
Die Kathedrale Saint-Jean (frz. offiziell Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste-et-Saint-Étienne bzw. Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon) ist neben der Basilika Notre-Dame de Fourvière der bedeutendste Kirchenbau der Stadt Lyon sowie Sitz des Erzbischofs von Lyon. Das seit dem Jahr 1862 als Monument historique klassifizierte und somit unter Denkmalschutz stehende Kulturdenkmal ist dem romanischen und dem gotischen Stil zuzuordnen. Die Kirche dominiert das Viertel Vieux Lyon, wo sie sich unweit des Saône-Ufers befindet
