The original goose image is shown below.
The original sky image, which I posted here a few days ago, actually started out as a drab grey sky scene, and the color came from the Setting Sun preset in Topaz Adjust. I also applied that preset to the geese but backed off on the strength so the whole scene would hopefully appear more realistic.
Also, HSS!

I ride past this field everyday when I ride my bike and I have been watching it get more intense in color...... this is the peek I believe!
Standing in the harbour and looking up to the new houses - only a few old houses are there. To live here is very expensive - you have the best view around.

Vom Hafen aus schaut man auf die neuen Häuser - es sind nur noch wenige alte vorhanden. Hier zu wohnen ist recht kostspielig - man hat den besten Ausblick.

In honor of winter I thought I’d put up another from Abraham Lake taken nearly a year ago on a trip up to Canada with Alan and David. This evening was an eventful shoot at the Belly of Abraham Lake with storm like conditions raging over the mountains. It was blistering cold and wickedly windy on the lake surface but the dramatic light made it worthy to be out.
These bubbles are a bit different from my previous posts as these are deeper below as if they are trying but unable to reach the surface. In the background is Mt Abraham with soft evening light and wispy clouds dithering off the summit. Hope you all stay warm for the remainder of winter.

Die Selliner Seebrücke ist so schon wunderschön. Mit dem passenden Licht wirkt sie wie aus einem Märchen.

In sogno
più spesso
quando la luce in fondo
a lunghe strade che hanno
in fondo il mare, il suo fermo respiro,
mi alza e corro
senza muovermi
perchè tra bui palazzi
ritrovi chi sappia dirmi
dove quegli altri
ormai si nascondono
gli altri colleghi amici
vecchi compagni
di altre stagioni
in questa luce che grida
in fondo, là verso le Rive,
prima di spegnersi.

Another shot, I like the glow behind the characters and the contrast between the fore and background which was done in camera.
Post work - I added a couple of gradients the help add a bit more contrast and bring out the colours.
Ancient windmills at the Lasitha plateau, Crete.
There is a whole serie of these mills all in decay.
Years ago there where about 10.000 windmills on the plateau, most of them are in decay, they use electric pumps to pump up the water.

Everyone in Australia now knows what this man is doing. No, he is not mindlessly checking his phone. He is using his QR code app to "check in" before he is allowed to use the services of Flippers. It is surveillance on a scale we have never known before. They can even check his vaccination status while they're at it. This is ostensibly for health reasons, but will it ever go away? I don't think so! My personal phone doesn't do apps. I wonder what George Orwell would say about it all?

Honfleur is een Normandische havengemeente (departement Calvados) gelegen op de zuidelijke rand van het estuarium van de Seine, tegenover Le Havre.
Honfleur is a commune in the Norman département of Calvados in France, located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine, across from le Havre.
"It is sad that so many of worth,
Still in the flesh," soughed the yew,
"Misjudge their lot whom kindly earth
Secludes from view.
"They ride their diurnal round
Each day-span's sum of hours
In peerless ease, without jolt or bound
Or ache like ours.
"If the living could but hear
What is heard by my roots as they creep
Round the restful flock, and the things said there,
No one would weep."
"'Now set among the wise,'
They say: 'Enlarged in scope,
That no God trumpet us to rise
We truly hope.'"
I listened to his strange tale
In the mood that stillness brings,
And I grew to accept as the day wore pale
That view of things.
Thomas Hardy

I saw in the newspaper that we've only had 3.5 hours of sun so far in November. It feels like it's always raining or is cloudy.
In the end, for congenial sympathy, for poetry, for work, for original feeling and expression, for perfect companionship with one's friends - give me the country.

This is on the dirt (sometimes gravel) road to Daddy's house. It's about as rural as you can get and still be accessible. Yep, I'm a country girl.

Saw this Kestrel with my Niece back in July on the Boardwalk that during the Summer is very busy. The bird seemed weakened and the curiosity of people was certainly causing distress. SEPNA (they are a branch of the Police that protects Nature and helps wild animals).was called to pick it up but there was too much people surrounding it and eventually the bird was able to fly away.All I can hope is that all turned out well for this bird Cheers everyone.

Inle Lake is a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Taunggyi District of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 square miles (116 km2), and one of the highest at an elevation of 2,900 feet (880 m). During the dry season, the average water depth is 7 feet (2.1 m), with the deepest point being 12 feet (3.7 m), but during the rainy season this can increase by 5 feet (1.5 m).
Most transportation on the lake is traditionally by small boats, or by somewhat larger boats fitted with single cylinder inboard diesel engines. Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men. Women row in the customary style, using the oar with their hands, sitting cross legged at the stern.
I have some pretty gorgeous windows in my bedroom and every morning I wake to towering gums, ancient emerald green tree ferns. Little lime breasted finches sing to me and I watch the crimson coloured rosellas dance back and forth across the trees but yet, this view, my still little person, is still the one that catches my breath every morning. Nothing more precious than waking to find a soft body curled into your side. Love my little chicken. And love that bed hair!

A fishing vessel is caught in the reflection of the setting sun in the awesome yellow, orange and deep red sunset in West Vancouver, BC. The golden orb of the sun was just huge at this moment and the sky was literally blood red! I took about 450 photos of the sunsets because the sky and colours were changing so rapidly!! Lol!! I was very lucky on this single evening to get these amazing shots; have never had this experience before, even when living in the area years ago.

She stood, waiting. The morning chill was fresh in her nostrils and the beat of the waterfall was prominent in her ears. She thought back to the early days when she and her husband had lived happily in this little cottage. She thought of the months they had spent building it, the seasons they had spent sowing seed and harvesting the crops. She remembered the cold winters and the hot summers spent with him, they had been times of peace. But that was before the war came.
Her husband had marched of to do his duty for the kingdom, and she hadn't heard from him since. Four years on, the war having now ended, she waited. Everyday she listened intently for the sound of a horse's hooves to drift along the stone path, for the familiar tune her beloved had always whistled. She was hopeful. She was sure that he would have survived the war - how could he not? He was a strong man. At the end of each day when he had not returned, she kept up her faith, hoping that tomorrow would be the day. "He will come", she told herself. "In time, he will come".

So, long time no build! I actually started this sometime last year, (early last month :P) but only just got around to finishing it. Hope you enjoy!
Have a great weekend. I have been so busy I haven't had any Flickr time. I went out yesterday with some friends. Just a lovely day, not much for photo shooting so came home and took this shot in my garden.
