Test foto(s) with my newest "toy": Leica IIIa with Summar 2/50 mm. The Leica is in very good condition, but the lens really shows its age (73 years!!) The front element has massiv cleaning marks and inside the lens separation has started ... Nonetheless the results are really good! Especially the bokeh of the lens is fantastic! Photography with this camera and lens gives me a totally different feeling than with with modern gear - I loved it from the first moment....!
Today would have been my dad's 86th birthday. He passed away two weeks ago. He loved the vast open spaces and the magnificent black-maned lions of Kgalagadi and it was on his recommendation that Willie and I first visited in 1992. My sister often likens my dad to a lion as he was a man with integrity and inner strength. Just like the lion in this image his quiet presence commanded attention. He was always there for us and is sorely missed.
Photograph taken during our last trip, early morning near Samevloeiing with the first rays of the sun touching the mane of this beautiful male. My dad was not well enough to see our photographs from this trip...

"What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from great lonliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beast also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. " ~ Chief Seathl — Duwanish Tribe

Not nearly as sharp as I would have liked but then that happens sometimes when you least expect to run into a grizzly in the wild and are without the tripod. This guy attracted quite a large crowd of spectators one afternoon in Little America, and I was quite content to stand on a hill across the road from him and watch him grazing in the meadow. Such gorgeous creatures who command a sense of awe & respect :-)
Hope everyone has a great weekend; don't forget to rest, relax, and take some time for yourself.....26 days & counting till vacation in the southwest....thanks for stopping by to visit & leaving a comment or two :-)
Edgartown, MA on Martha's Vineyard. Strolled out toward the Edgartown Lighthouse to see what sunset would look like in that spot...and found still water and daylight's last soft colors calling me instead.
"He's been photographing butterflies all morning," says Shelley
"Even when we were rubbing suntan lotion into each other's bodies," adds Poppy
"No wonder he doesn't dare show his face over on the Men With Dolls board anymore," notes Shelley.
Sad but true ;) It's my own version of 'Pokemon Go' that I've been playing for years (with it's own catchphrases such as "c'mon, settle!" and "open your wings you son of a b*tch!"). Only a few days ago I was chasing a Cinnibar moth around the garden :)

Leonardo da Vinci, in Sheffield! To mark the 500th anniversary of Leonardo’s death 12 of his drawings from the Queen’s Royal Collection are on display in the Millennium Gallery as part of a nationwide exhibition Leonardo da Vinci: A Life In Drawing. It’s on until 6th May and it’s free so get yourself down there!
The debate/arguments continue as to the decision to place this attraction/eyesore at the edge of the Recreation Grounds in Stratford-upon-Avon. The latest objections are to the light show emitted by the wheel.
"I figli sono alberi, e quando pianti un albero lo prepari perché viva a lungo, perché viva dopo di te. Devi dargli terreno buono e radici profonde, perché si deve cercare da solo la linfa; ha la maestosità dell’albero che vedi crescere, ma che non puoi portarti in casa se c’è tempesta, neve o vento. Se la deve cavare da solo".
Don Marzi.....
Da es mittlerweile am Weststrand wieder ein paar Bäume gibt, die im Wasser liegen, bin ich am vergangenem Wochenende mal wieder dort gewesen. Der Wind hat ordentlich Wellen gemacht, das war gefundenes Fressen für Bewegungsunschärfe in den Wellen.
Und ein Making Of gibts auch wieder: youtu.be/oNqmC8ilrKU

I had a short layover in Munich of a night on my way to indulge in a Danube Cruise, long on my bucket list.
On my way to Marien Platz on a chilly morning in April. The architecture in the heart of Munich is stunning.

Week 2 of 52 in 2013. The theme is MY HOMETOWN. I live in the small town of LaGrange, Georgia, well at least for another 4 weeks until I move to Canton, GA and then finally Gainesville, GA. This week's theme did prove challenging as I've taken so many photos of the fountain in Lafayette Square in LaGrange, and I wanted to get something different, So Friday morning I got up early to get this sunrise shot. Gilbert Motier de Lafayette was a major general in George Washington's army and played a vital role in the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown, ending the Revolutionary War. The city of LaGrange, Georgia was named for Lafayette's home, the Chateau de LaGrange, in France.

I got sunshine in my stomach
Like I just rocked my baby to sleep.
I got sunshine in my stomach
But I can't keep me from creeping sleep,
Sleep, deep in the deep.
"Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for in you my soul takes refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed."

I have been seeing more and more amazing photos of Iceland that make me both yearn for the next trip back and revisit old photos. I particularly enjoyed this image of Skogafoss, as the two remaining visitors stood, arms outstretched, in pure wonderment of the beauty of nature.
It is now the last month of Winter in Adelaide... but I still missing the beautiful autumn!! my favorite season~
Had a similar shot before, but this time with better camera... lol~
Have a nice weekend everyone...
In Sweden, tulips usually bloom in the spring. When they came to the country is uncertain, but documentation credits Olof Rudbeck the Elders with bringing over the seeds and bulbs after a trip to Holland. In 1685 he had 38 different kinds of tulips in his botanical garden in Uppsala, and the bulbs have spread since those day to many locations around the country.

Here's a photo of little m:) making pictures of flowers at Dalles Mountain Washington. You can see the Columbia River in the distance. If the clouds wouldn't have been on the horizon you could see Mount Hood from here.
Her, in a beautiful field covered in wildflowers with a sunset sky as a backdrop. I think she had fun.

This is one of two lionesses that walked through the grass looking for prey. She waited for the other lioness to close in from another side. Until that moment there seemed to be a stand-off between the lioness and the zebra's.
We did not wait for the outcome but it was great to watch the strategic play and how alert the zebra's followed the movements of the lioness!
Not the best shot (light conditions bad) but it gives a nice view on what wildlife is all about! I simply love it !

This is the fist of Joe Louis on Jefferson Ave in Detroit. Maybe not the most friendly way to greet your arrival in Detroit, but it is an iconic sculpture.
Berlin Moabit - U.Haftanstalt
Leider auf der falschen Seite - das Kunstwerk sollte eigentlich innen sein und für die Gefangenen sichtbar.
Unlogisch ist es dazu, denn die Kette ist zu kurz.
Aber man versteht, was gemeint ist.
Eine Waage ist das nicht!
Eine übergroße, übermächtige und anonyme Hand die mit leichtem Pinzettengriff und elegant abgespreiztem Finger über die Freiheit und Unfreiheit von kleinen unscheinbaren Menschlein entscheidet - Und wer drin oder draußen ist, folgt - wenn man die Länge der Kette betrachtet, nicht der Logik.
Berlin Moabit - Investigation Detention Center.
Unfortunately on the wrong side - the artwork should actually be inside and visible for the prisoners.
Illogical it is in addition, because the chain is too short.
But one understands what is meant.
It is not a scale!
An oversized, overpowering and anonymous hand which decides with light tweezers grip and elegantly splayed finger about the freedom and unfreedom of small inconspicuous little people - And who is in or outside, follows - if one looks at the length of the chain, not the logic.
