My wife and I decided to take advantage of a cooler summer day and make the 90 minute trip to Starved Rock State Park in central Illinois yesterday.However,as any local knows,Starved Rock is a zoo on weekends with people,cars,motorcycles,and dogs overflowing the area.We instead visited Starved Rock light-Matthiessen State Park right down the road.It was also busy,but much less so, and at 4pm,the Chicago crowd have begun the trek back home.
Matthiessen is a beautiful and serene place this time of year,and the shaded pathways make hiking in the summer heat bearable.This is one the dells areas,one of many places there one can sit and commune with nature as well as appreciate life's quieter moments.Just remember to wear hiking shoes instead of leather sandals.It would kind of ruin the mood to break a leg....
A link to this wonderful place...

Went to Crosby to do one shot I had in mind, the conditions were good for it, overcast and not too bright.
It was a matter of waiting until the tide went out.
For me this composition reminds me of the feeling of inner peace and tranquility, hence the title.
P.S Frank, ashame you couldnt make it matey.

Night view of Khara-Khoto ruins, located in Ejina Banner, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China.
Khara-Khoto (Chinese: Heicheng, "black city") has been identified as the city of Etzina, which appears in The Travels of Marco Polo. The present banner Ejin Banner is named after this city.
Khara-Khoto is the largest existent fortress along the ancient Silk Road. It was first built in 1032 and later became a trade center of Tangut Empire (1038 – 1227). The place is named after the Eji Nai City (Black Water City) in Tangut language.
The walled military town was first attacked and taken by Genghis Khan in 1226. The ancient town continued to develop and flourish under Mongol Empire. In Yuan Dynasty (1271 – 1368), the city was expanded.
In 1372, the last general of Yuan Dynasty named Khara Bator was surrounded to the armies of Ming Dynasty ( 1368 1644). After the defeat, the city was abandoned and left in ruins.

Abandoned plantation house in Barbados.
Normally for Sliders Sunday I toss an image into the Magical Creativity Cauldron, stir once or twice and then the whole thing effervesces violently throwing up iridescent smoke and vapours. These are often brightly coloured (as my viewer will well know!).
Eventually after much bubbling and curious percussive pops and shrieks the strange antiquarian vessel ejects a work of outstanding beauty and impact…
Today was different. I kept throwing image after image into the Cauldron… and nothing. Just nothing.
The tarry depths swirled slowly with a consuming inky blackness. An occasional belch of foul fumes was the only punctuation. All was devoured; nothing returned.
At length, in desperation, I threw three similar images forming an HDR set taken on my trip to visit family in Barbados last year. And the Cauldron, reluctantly and after a considerable while, regurgitated this.
Not sure what to make of it really…
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Sliders Sunday :)
[HDR set of three images, stacked in Affinity Photo. A high degree of tone compression and micro-contrast.
Processed in Topaz Studio starting with Diane’s Watercolor preset using Precision Contrast, Abstraction and Smudge, all heavily tweaked and adjusted.
Back into Affinity and partially blended the original HDR back, with dark vignette, Clarity sharpening and HSL hue shift to differentiate the colour in the three rooms of the image.
I wish I knew what I was doing lol. Perhaps one day I’ll have some clue...]

I stumbled across this rather wonderfully decorated building in Rome recently, by sheer serendipity.
Having just had dinner, I thought I was south of the street I wanted to find (en route to my flat), but I was actually already north of it.
When I found myself here, several utterances of "Wow!" escaped my lips. I spoke to a very friendly security man, who informed me that this is actually an office building. There are two theatres attached to the building, so I'm sure it must have an interesting history.
However, I'm just glad I found it...and had my 16-35 mm zoom lens with me. :-)

“Whenever you are puzzled in a situation and you cannot see how to get out of it, don’t think; just be in a deep non-thinking and allow the inner guide to guide you. In the beginning you will feel afraid, insecure, but soon, when you come every time to the right conclusion, when you come every time to the right door, you will gather courage and you will become trusting. If this trust happens, I call it faith. This really is religious faith – the trust in the inner guide. Reasoning is part of the ego. It is you believing in yourself. The moment you go deep within you, you have come to the very soul of the universe. Your inner guide is part of the divine guidance. When you follow it, you follow the divine; when you follow yourself, you are complicating things, and you don’t know what you are doing. You may think yourself very wise. You are not. Wisdom comes from the heart, it is not of the intellect. Wisdom comes from the innermost depth of your being, it is not of the head. Cut your head off, be headless – and follow the being, whatsoever, wheresoever it leads. Even if it leads into danger, go into danger, because that will be the path for you and your growth. Through that danger you will grow and become mature. Even if the inner guide leads you to death, go into it, because that is going to be the path for you. Follow it, trust it, and move with it.”

The winter was on time, I was a bit late.
I arrived at the place where clocks regularly slow down, by floating on an entire year of expectations for another peek into its eternally poignant world.
It’s all about these mountains which can touch your emotions gently, like a soulful breeze and relieve you of doubts beyond tomorrow.
After many years we’ve settled for a mutually beneficial relationship - I get to promote their magic and in return, the vistas peel off the sorrows of my urban soul.
My eyes glided across the wide ranges, dressed in their parade white coats by a recent cold snap, and shores of the glacial lake in possession of their reflections. Within winter’s frozen smile, I spotted a solitary figure.
With my camera lowered and left to rest on its strap, my thoughts went to the fellow admirer of this silent winter wonderland.
Does he, like me, dream of sweeping panoramas or take pride in capturing details and textures outsiders easily miss or dismiss. Is he going to share his creations or opt to keep them as a private surprise for loved ones?
I realised that whatever the truth is, he will dream up the best ever visual echo of his feelings of this particular moment, the one that will never be repeated by anyone else until the end of time.
I will do the same. I lifted my camera and pressed the shutter.
