Les pierres de schistes frotées entre elles offrent toute une gamme de pigments naturels qui peuvent servir de peintures à la rivière. Eté 2017, Ardèche.

J'utilise des objectifs anciens grâce au système "Multi-mount PK+MM" pour Pentax DSLR tropicalisé, ce qui me permet de monter de magnifiques optiques tel que ces Carl Zeiss : Distagon* 35mm F2.8 ; Sonnar* 135mm F2.8 ; et Planar* 50mm F1.4, Boitier Pentax K-5.

This marvelous mask is from Congo democratic republic, region of kikwit ... my born place !

Masque de Kikwit, RDC, ce sont des oeuvres chargées et pleines de mystères !

Best to: View Large and On Black

Please - NO INVITES and AWARDS from now on - Thank you

Do READ the TOP message in BOLD on my profile - it is an important one...

Today before you say an unkind word -

Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food -

Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife -

Think of someone who's crying out to GOD

for a companion.

Today before you complain about life -

Think of someone who went too early

to heaven

Before you complain about your children -

Think of someone who is without yet desires

children

Before you argue about your dirty house someone

didn't clean or sweep-

Think of the people who live in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive -

Think of someone who walks the same distance.

When you are tired and complain about your job -

Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those

who wish they had your job.

Before you think of condemning another -

Remember that not one of us is without sin.

When depressing thoughts seem to get you down -

Put a smile on your face and think:

you're alive and still around.

Sent to me by "Forward to a Better Day group"

Wishing to all of you a splendid and happy Tuesday from me and - Willem

No Post Processing used - no treatments, no cropping, and as is from the camera. The only thing added is the water mark - signature.

It's not every day that you get to see a large raptor and a small perching bird together in the same scene!! :) ♥

In this photo: A male Northern Cardinal makes its way into the same area in which a Barred Owl quietly rests.
