Once a week I try and get out and shoot the diverse
wildlife here in Florida (not just the eagles). I spent three months working on a series of local nature and wildlife shots which I have turned into a five minute video:

The image above is one of the ones in the show entitled "Florida's Symphony of Fauna and Flora".
I watched a Heron take down a three foot long snake in a ten minute battle not far away, after the snake was mostly dead the heron flew off and ate the snake a bit further away.

This is the head/face of a wooden sculpture that I had purchased in Costa Rica a few years ago. The facial expression was intriguing and mysterious to me. The artist had created several sculptures ranging from 15" tall to 6' tall. He used the wood from trees that had died or were cut down, to create the bodies and recyled bicycle chain rings for the hair...I fell in love with her. ;)
Happy Macro Monday.. to everyone out there today!

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.

A road side stop just south of the city of Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park. The colors of the leaves were a sight in the late afternoon as the sunlight came through the clouds. Anywho, I was able to take several captures of this setting. This was my favorite without cars on the road. Just an empty highway with colorful leaves and mountains beyond. A beautiful Autumn setting in the Colorado Rockies!
Lights shine on a bridge and creates a reflection in the river Avon. Its a Grade 2 listed bridge and was built around the 1760's. It was the only bridge to cross the river Avon for miles around for centuries.

In addition to the murals, I just loved the look of the entire space.

Early in the morning you will always see local dog walkers making the most of the Forest before the tourists descend throughout the rest of the day. This was especially true last weekend as it was the beginning of the half term holidays. Most of the camp-sites will close after this week and we will be back to our normal peaceful selves:-)
Thank you for visiting - ❤ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
We spent two nights in the historical village Shirakawa-go in the mountains of Japan. Shirakawa-gō (白川郷, "White River Old-District") is one of Japan's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, located in Gifu Prefecture. These three houses located at the south end of the village line up perfectly.
I processed a photographic and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, merged them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and pulled the curves to pop the scene.

And I've seen souls in spirit gold
Now I've cleaned myself from that unsettling light
It was too bright for me and the love in my life
But if you capture me I'll be within your sight

Shot taken when Aaron and I was out scouting the hills down the road. What's funny is the whole year I did my 365 I never seem to venture out very far to check out locations. I've realized I get pretty lazy when it comes to photos. I need to try to change that.

First winter photo session this season. I will record a video tutorial using this photo. I think it's interesting because it wasn't wintery at all. No snow at all. I will post in on my website and on my YT channel
In the Darkness
I found you
in the dark
they say you are a semi poisonous plant
reported to be poisonous for human being
I am glad I saw you
In the darkness you lighten me up

Often in my illness worse moments when I suffered what we term a severe crash. I look to the wonder and beauty in life to help me escape the pain and darkness sometimes I’m faced with. So why the title well in wonder of all of the unknown and yet to be seen and learned from in space and the universe and in wonder about how far technology and photography has come that we are now able to capture these kind of shots in a mobile phone. It genuinely keeps me driven and excited for the future of where the art form we all love (photography) is going to be able to go and show things we never dreamt possible.

Frangokastello (Grieks: Φραγκοκάστελλο, Frankenkasteel) is een fort en plaatsje aan de zuidkust van het Griekse eiland Kreta. Het ligt in de gemeente (dimos) Sfakia.
Geschiedenis.
Het Venetiaanse fort werd gebouwd in 1371. Oorspronkelijk werd het genoemd naar de heilige Nikitas. Later kreeg het de naam Frangokastello; kasteel van de Franken. De Franken was in de Middeleeuwen in het oostelijke Middellandse Zeegebied een gebruikelijke naam voor West-Europeanen, waarbij de Venetianen ook ingedeeld werden.
Tijdens de Turkse overheersing van Kreta was Frangokastello meermaals het toneel van bloedige gevechten. In 1771 was het de plek waar de Griekse verzetsheld Daskalogiannis met zijn troepen heenvluchtte, nadat Chora Sfakion in handen was gevallen van de Turken. Hij gaf zich na belegering noodgedwongen over en werd kort daarna in Iraklion geëxecuteerd. In 1828, tijdens de Griekse Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog, bezetten opstandelingen onder leiding van Hatzimichalis Dalianis het fort, waarna ze belegerd werden door de Turkse leider Mustafabey. Dalianis en 385 van zijn mannen kwamen hierbij om het leven. Toen andere Griekse groeperingen de Turkse troepen aanvielen, kwamen ook 800 Turken om het leven, waarna Mustafabey de overgebleven Kretenzische strijders een vrije aftocht gaf.
Het fort ligt op een kleine vlakte aan de voet van het Kryoneritisgebergte. Sinds de jaren 90 is er sprake van enige toeristische ontwikkeling in de directe omgeving van het fort; er zijn appartementen en restaurants gebouwd en er is een klein haventje aangelegd. Bij Frangokastello ligt een breed zandstrand.
Kastello
(Greek: Φραγκοκάστελλο, Franken Castle) is a fortress and town on the south coast of the Greek island of Crete. It is located in the municipality (dimos) Sfakia.
History.
The Venetian fortress was built in 1371. Originally it was named after St. Nikitas. Later it was named Kastelli; Castle of the Franks. The Franken was in the Middle Ages in the Eastern Mediterranean a common name for Western Europe, while the Venetians were also classified.
During the Turkish domination of Crete Kastelli was repeatedly the scene of bloody battles. In 1771 it was the place where the Greek resistance hero Daskalogiannis heenvluchtte with his troops after Sfakia hands had fallen to the Turks. He surrendered after the siege forced over and was soon executed in Iraklion. In 1828, during the Greek War of Independence, occupying rebels led by Hatzimichalis Dalianis the fort, after which they were besieged by the Turkish leader Mustafabey. Dalianis and 385 of his men lost their lives. When other Greek groups attacked the Turkish troops were also 800 Turks were killed, and the remaining Mustafabey Cretan warriors sent a free retreat.
The fort is situated on a small plain at the foot of the Kryoneritisgebergte. Since the 90s there has been any tourism development in the immediate vicinity of the fort; there are apartments and restaurants built and a small harbor was built. At Kastelli is a wide sandy beach.
There is true beauty in simplicity and in my newest article I give you three quick tips for creating images which are evocative and compelling not only in what they include but also in what they exclude. In photography, and in any of the visual arts, images which are simple, yet evocative, can be particularly powerful. Please feel free to read my article at this link. I hope you enjoy!
This image: There is an infinite beauty to moving water and it can be unlocked by looking beyond what we first see. The purple of a winter evening's twilight is softly reflected in the fast moving waters of the St. Lawrence River, Montreal, Canada.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly.
Continuing the quest for a really good in flight catch.
These Skimmia were attracting the (I think) bees. But they weren't hovering -- just flying from flower to flower.
I also liked the in flight luggage.

Captured in: Gloucester, MA.
Just returned home from a week-long trip to Massachusetts & Maine, where I had an amazing opportunity to work with Long Island landscape and wildlife master photographer Bill Rudock. It was an incredible opportunity to visit and capture some gorgeous New England lights, and learn from one of the best photographers around.
I can’t thank Bill enough for sharing his vast knowledge and experience with me. He’s incredibly talented, a consummate professional, and such a genuine person. This was a challenging photographic adventure, and an experience that I’ll never forget.
I also wanted to take a moment to thank Bill's First Light Photography partner Gen Benjamin for helping to organize such a fantastic trip, and making this such a memorable week!
Seen here is one of my sunset captures of the Annisquam Harbor Light Station in Gloucester, MA -- one of the stops along the way. This light was established in 1801, and formerly known as Wigwam Point. Annisquam is one of the oldest lighthouses found in Massachusetts.

just spent 7 days in the most amazingly beautiful place i've ever seen in all my life....bermuda.
i'd always heard stories...but none of them can come close to describing what i experienced. you have to go to understand.
this wall was part of our neighbors very private property. i've never seen such an estate. this wall turned into a huge circle that led up into the most lush green grass that went on for hundreds of acres ...up thru gorgeous servant houses until you could see the big white mansion that sat up top. crazy gorgeous!
below is the cottage we stayed at and the other shot is our driveway leading to the cottage. each shot is public also, so you can click to view bigger and see details if you wish :)
