In the same dirt road I found this cabin apparently abandoned.
The appearance is so rustic and so poor, but the incredible light in the scene and the beauty of the scenery have convinced me to take the photo.
The place really makes me so intrigued by the strange details.
I notice an effort to make the place a bit more charming and presentable because of the lanterns on the gate, but there's an ox skull hanging from the porch, not completely visible in the picture :))
...After a long walk through the streets of the city in search of curious targets, I came across this intriguing-looking place that I think I'm not going to enter, however it gave me the opportunity to get a curious scene from the street in the city, in one of the most typical neighborhoods of the city center!
Another from snowy Storkow, the small forest right next to my apartment is a luxury to have so local, sadly temperatures are set to rise next week and so no more snow for a little while. However, I am glad I got out when I did, this shot for me painted a certain air of mystery; if there is anything I love to do is create atmosphere and whereas the best location is to evoke a sense of fantasy, as if this forest pathway in Winter was to lead to another dimension.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
Chat de garde?? ...(watch cat ??)
Après, il nous a suivi (en se roulant dans la terre ! )
(then, he has followed us, rolling in the dirt ! )

This kid was absolutely intrigued about why I kept shooting strange things like steps, stains on the windows and things like that, so I decided to take a picture of him. But as I really suck at shooting photos of people, at one moment just tilted up a bit my phone and quickly tapped on the screen.

I did not photograph our solar eclipse, but was intrigued by the shadows of the partial eclipse filtering through the leaves of one of our trees onto the walkway.

Tonight will be my last night on Flickr for a few weeks.
We are going on a long awaited Alaska Cruise and Tour .
See you again after we get back!

The picture represents the feelings and point of view of the intelligence behind the camera. This disease of our age is boredom and a good photographer must combat it. The way to do this is by invention – by surprise. When I say a good picture has surprise value I mean that it stimulates my thinking and intrigues me. The best way to achieve surprise quality is by avoiding clichés. Imitation is the greatest danger of the young photographer.

Rauðasandur beach (Westfjords) 20200806
Rauðisandur (Red Beach) is a 10-kilometer stretch of a beach on the south coast of the West Fjords (Vestfirðir) in Iceland. And, yes, the sand is red, at least in certain conditions. On sunny days, it is quite a sight to see as it scintillates like a shoreline covered in diamonds. This amazing beach is like an instrument being played by high and low tides as well as lights and shadows. The sands are equally impressive on rainy days, constantly changing colors from red to yellow to white to red to black – with amazing hues ranging throughout this magnificent display.
But, take care. The gravel road leading to the beach is very steep and narrow, with 180° turns. No rails. Take your time to drive down the slope. You will find a café on the beach where the locals will tell you how best to enjoy this tranquil site and its amazing tales and stories.
Apart from tales of trolls and otherworldly figures, Rauðisandur is the area where Iceland's most legendary act of crime, The Murders at Sjöundá, happened. It is a true story of darkness, intrigue, and passion. The whole drama was described it one of the best novels by an Icelandic writer, Svartfugl, by Gunnar Gunnarsson. A novel that was first published in Denmark in 1929 and was quite successful in Europe in the thirties.

They are shrouded in smoke and mystery. It's difficult to tell who are just dressed up for a quick buck from the real ascetics. Real or make believe, they add to the intrigue of the ghats .
A face-to-face encounter (my first!) with a Mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) that was gently walking my way on a path by the river.
The resplendent plumage tells us it is a male, and that the mating season is on.
When this period finishes, comes the end of Spring, the male moults into eclipse plumage, which is similar to the female's, except for the yellow-orange-red beak, the absence of crest, and the fainter eye-stripe.
So very generous of your foreign friends to pick-up the tab for fine dining on your cruise.
But loose lips sink ships.
The State Library in Hobart, Tasmania. I used to spend a lot of time here when I was in high school and matric - back in the days before the internet when you had to look at books.
I used to find this place fascinating - you could find anything and everything. I also used to study here during exams when I needed peace and quiet.
Funny how times change.
Great Gable is the big, dome-shaped mountain on the right, with the smaller, adjoining peak of Green Gable to its left.
Hoar frost is seen on Great Gable's top...
Taken from near Blackbeck Tarn, in an intriguing area of natural rock gardens and wonderful views in all directions...
There is so much going on in this one, not sure that I like it so much. I just find it too buse and the fence does not stand out.
Happy Fence Friday
Macro of broken spider's web,with the last of the previous night's frost still present. The slight breeze moving the fine strands and the day's sunlight, turning the web into nature's jewels.
Bedruthan became a popular destination when Newquay developed as a holiday resort more than 100 years ago. Victorians visiting in their carriages found it a convenient attraction, and the local farmer responded to this interest by providing stalls for the horses on payment of a toll.
The dramatic views rarely fail to provide a breathtaking experience. The geology of the cliffs and stacks themselves is intriguing and it's easy to visit without realising that there's a history of mining in the area dating back to the 19th century.
Carnewas was a hive of industrial activity in the 19th century although not much is known of the mining that took place there. It is supposed that miners tunnelled into the cliffs from the beach in search of iron, copper and lead. Mining stopped many years ago, but the buildings are a reminder of this industry. The National Trust shop was once the count house or mine office and the café was also converted from mine buildings.
Thank you so very much, dear Amber, for honoring me with the group cover for Second Life Intrigue. :) *HUGE HUGS*
