This is the view we had one morning from Zabriske Point in Death Valley National Park. The clouds turned a wonderful pink as the sun rose behind us. That's Telescope Peak in the background, the highest point in the park at 11,049'. Between Golden Canyon in the foreground and the Panamint Mountains in the background lies Badwater Basin, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere at -282'. We were blessed with such nice skies on our trip there last March. Single RAW exposure with 3 stop soft Grad ND. Level adjustments in Photoshop CS3.
Note (07 Feb 2009): Reprocessed and moved to the top of my stream.

Heimdal Glacier in southern Greenland, in an image captured on Oct. 13, 2015, from NASA Langley Research Center's Falcon 20 aircraft flying 33,000 feet above mean sea level.
NASA’s Operation IceBridge, an airborne survey of polar ice, recently finalized two overlapping campaigns at both of Earth’s poles. Down south, the mission observed a big drop in the height of two glaciers situated in the Antarctic Peninsula, while in the north it collected much needed measurements of the status of land and sea ice at the end of the Arctic summer melt season.
This was the first time in its seven years of operations that IceBridge carried out parallel flights in the Arctic and Antarctic. Every year, the mission flies to the Arctic in the spring and to Antarctica in the fall to keep collect an uninterrupted record of yearly changes in the height of polar ice.

"In our joy, we think we hear a whisper.
At first it is too soft. Then only half heard.
We listen carefully as it gathers strength.
We hear a sweetness.
The word is Peace."
- Maya Angelou

THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION.
In de zomervakantie van 2024 gingen Mathijs en ik samen een weekje naar de Oberpfalz in Duitsland. Door dit gebied heen lopen nog best veel leuke diesellijnen. Iets wat wij erg leuk vinden. Zeker ook omdat er veel mooi en ook oud materieel rijdt. Sinds de start van de nieuwe dienstregeling van 2024 is de RE2 tussen München en Hof naar DB gegaan. Tot eind 2023 reed Alex ook wel bekend als die Länderbahn de RE2. DB zet uitsluitend de Baureihe 218 met Doppelstockwagen in op de RE2. Wanneer er te weinig 218's beschikbaar zijn door problemen wordt er beroep gedaan op dieseltreinstellen van de serie 612. Gelukkig was dit begin augustus niet het geval en reden alle omlopen met 218's. Zaterdag 3 augustus 2024 begon in de Oberpfalz erg zonnig. Eind van de ochtend trok het dicht en waren er best flinke regenbuien op komst. Tijd voor wat anders. We besloten om even naar een groot overdekt winkelcentrum te gaan. Toen we naar het vakantiehuisje wilden gaan, begon de lucht toch weer open te trekken. Er werd iets om gereden en een tussenstop gemaakt bij het station van Regenstauf. We zouden de Alex even op de foto zetten. Nadat de RE 40 met 612 vertrokken was, zou het tijd zijn voor de Alex. Opeens kwam er in plaats van de Alex een 218 van DB de bocht om. Mooi meegenomen! De trein had een vertraging van ruim een uur, vanwege een storing. Zo was een plaat van een 218 op Regenstauf ook in de pocket. Op dit station komen maar weinig fotografen. Zelf vind ik het een leuke plek met het mooie, oude stationsgebouw. En de doorgaande treinen naar Regensburg pakken altijd het middelste spoor, waardoor het ook een stuk mooier is.

Featured is one of the six bridges connecting both sides of Dubai Marina development. Flowing lines, flashy architecture, vibrant and colourful lights, crazy urban design...what's not to like in such a cityscape?
This shot was taken in near darkness from a moving helicopter. I used Canon 5Dmk3 and Canon TS-E 24mm lens. I was going for a miniature effect so I set the lens to capture the image at the widest aperture in a fully tilted position.

A portrait of a pink tulip in our garden. We do not have many tulips in our garden, but just uderneath our kitchen window there is a group of pink tulips planted in front of a chaenomeles on a north facing wall.
The tulip is a Eurasian and North African genus of perennial, bulbous plants in the lily family. It is a herbaceous herb with showy flowers, of which around 75 wild species are currently accepted.
The generally cup or star-shaped tulip flower has three petals and three sepals, which are often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. These six tepals are often marked on the interior surface near the bases with darker colorings. Tulip flowers come in a wide variety of colors, except pure blue (several tulips with "blue" in the name have a faint violet hue).
The flowers have six distinct, basifixed stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals. Each stigma has three distinct lobes, and the ovaries are superior, with three chambers. The tulip's seed is a capsule with a leathery covering and an ellipsoid to globe shape. Each capsule contains numerous flat, disc-shaped seeds in two rows per chamber.

In an office in Santiago and couldn't stop looking at this plant and the shadows on the wall for some reason.
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all

I took this photo at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. The woman is not a model, but a stranger. Her pose happened by chance.
In some respects one could say because of the history nobody should take photos there. But I think this photo is not disrespectful, rather the opposite of it.
While processing the photo, I was thinking very carefully about the message of the photo. In the end I liked this version the most: in front darker, but she is walking towards the warm light.
Dieses Foto ist am Holocaust-Mahnmal in Berlin aufgenommen worden. Die Frau ist kein Model, sondern eine Fremde. Ihre Pose ist zufällig entstanden.
Viele würden sagen, dass man an solchen Orten keine Fotos machen sollte, aufgrund der Geschichte. Ich finde aber, dass man eher darauf achten sollte, dass das Foto respektvoll bleibt, wie bei diesem hier.
Während ich das Foto entwickelt habe, habe ich lange über die Bildaussage nachgedacht. Am Ende habe ich mich für eine Version entschieden, wo der Vordergrund dunkler ist und die Frau in das warme Licht läuft.
In the vicinity of the Pillory square some shops targeting the tourist are to be found. Belmonte being well known in Portugal for its important Jewish community, many of the offered products are related to the Jewish faith and culture.

In this shot, one can see the front legs used to wipe and comb the eyes and facial hair from pollen, spider webs or other types of debris that collects on the dragonfly's face.
I get asked a lot, "What is going on in your head?". Here you go. A little behind the scenes look during a recent repair.
Day 309
In all the times I have wandered forest preserves and been out in the country, I have never seen a wild animal. In fact, I have never seen a coyote in person before.
So, we met. And then we went our separate ways. Quite uneventful.
That's probably for the best :-)
In Wester Ross, where the River Ewe merges with the sea at Poolewe, these brackish waters on a receding tide hold, and reveal, many secrets.
Crouching patiently for a sundown shot, the stillness was only later broken by two otters feeding about 30 yards in front of me.
Sorry folks, I didn't have another camera and a big lens to capture that, but the wide angled long exposure displays the brilliant golden amber hues of the seaweed on the shoreline.
Many thanks as always for your views, and welcome comments.
I don't have to take a trip around the world or be on a yacht in the Mediterranean to have happiness. I can find it in the little things, like looking out into my backyard and seeing deer in the fields.

I recently posted the color version of this scene. As often happens, the more I look at some images, the more I think they should be in black and white, so here is another take on it. Of course, the color version is more true to the way the place actually looks. This one looks to me like it’s a right good place to be haunted.
Almost in Wombourne and the end of this part of my walk and i came across this bench put here in loving memory of a couple 'May & Leah'"who must have loved this part of the Worcestershire & Staffordshire Canal and the view from here ........Wombourne,South Staffordshire ,Staffordshire England
The soil is rich and fertile in many parts of India so one sees many fields of crops on a road journey. If you are lucky, a woman will be working in a field with a bright colored sari on with ornaments sparkling in the sunlight.

“MS Pride of America is a cruise ship operated by NCL America, a division of Norwegian Cruise Lines, to sail itineraries in the Hawaiian Islands. Construction of the ship began in 2000 in the United States as part of a plan for a U.S.-built and U.S.-flagged cruise ship under Project America, but the project failed and she was eventually purchased by Norwegian Cruise Lines and completed in Germany. She was inaugurated in 2005, and was the first new U.S. flagged, U.S.-built (aside from the outfitting) deep water passenger ship in nearly fifty years since the SS Argentina of 1958.”
