I don't know if this means I'm a full fledged landscape photographer yet, but I can honestly say I have gotten my "feet wet".
A couple of weeks ago a Flickr friend and fellow photographer David Frey, contacted me to let me know that he would be visiting the San Diego area around the holidays and ask if I would like to spend the day shooting Hospital Reef. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to spent some time with a higher caliber photographer than myself which always leads to more learning.
At 3:00am I packed up my gear and headed off down the freeway giving us plenty of time to scout the reef and set up. We checked the tide time and height using a fisherman's site and found that the tide level would be very high, but I wasn't sure how high up on the reef the best formations are situated. It was going to be a total crap shoot as far as tide levels go but I was confident that the weather was going to be perfect. It had rained the day before and the NWS radar that I had been watching in anticipation all week promised a great sunrise and possibly sunset. After chatting with David for a while we soon located the potholes and several other popular formations and then waited for the light as it was still totally dark.
I knew the sun would be behind us in the morning but I was hoping that we would get some good cross lighting which usually happens if it's cloudy in the west and clear in the east, which was case this morning, and it didn't disappoint.
This is a shot taken later in the day. When David and I returned for sunset. He went directly to the composition that he had found earlier in the day and planted himself there for three hours. "I'm gonna wait for the light to come to me" he said. I'm not that confident when it comes to staying put during "panic time" thats what i call the 30 minutes during sunset. I ran around to 7 or 8 different compositions during the sunset and grabbed some really cool shots. I am still learning how to manipulate time through my lens and I think I went a little to long on this shot, but considering I was using no filters I think it turned out fairly good. I hope you like it too. :)

This is Japanese "Tanin-don". Chicken and egg dishes mean "oyako-don", and "oyako" mean parent and child. This dish contains beef, chicken and eggs, so it's called ”tanin-don”. ”Tanin” means others and "don" means bowl.
This palace, which means ‘Stone House’, contains Khiva’s most sumptuous interior decoration, dense with blue ceramic tiles, carved wooden pillars and elaborate ghanch. Built by Allakuli Khan between 1832 and 1841 as a more splendid alternative to the Kuhna Ark, it’s said to have more than 150 rooms off nine courtyards, with high ceilings designed to catch the slightest desert breeze. Allakuli was a man in a hurry – the Tosh-Hovli’s first architect was executed for failing to complete the job in two years.
Lilium auratum (‘Yamayuri’ in Japanese, scientific term means Gold Ray Lily), a wild lily native to Japan.
Blooms in midsummer with fascinating colors and rich fragrance.
Brought to Europe in the 19th century and used as a mother plant of various hybrid garden lilies.

I'll be as lovely as you want
I'll be as lovelly as you want
I'll be as lovely...
Many things have happened
As you came into this world.
You deluded me so,
You caressed my glow and you came into my little world
Made me think that we were one...
You came into this world,
and when you kissed me,
you collapsed me forever
Into this world
when you held me,
We fought windmills together,
and you came into this world,
and you killed me.
Forever, means ever,
into this world.
You will know that you love someone when you want him/her to be happy. Even if that means you're not a part of their happiness.
Deutes Sprichwort "Über den TellerRAND hinaus schauen" - German proverb "Looking beyond the edge of the plate" means looking for the whole and not only from your own side and position.
The new year means a new beginning, like this group of young beech trees in the middle of a spruce forest.
There was a time when my homeland was covered with huge old beech forests. Forests that had grown over thousands of years. Not only were they the defining habitat, also for my ancestors, they were also an important part of our culture. My ancestors, the Germanic tribes, lived in these forests. The Romans can sing a song about how well adapted we were to this habitat.
The massive trunks of trees were the pillars of our cathedrals and our high priests read the signs from small sticks of beech wood (the beech stick formed later the the german word for letter).
But then came the industrial revolution and with it the insatiable hunger for fuel and fast-growing building materials and with it the invention of the spruce monoculture.
The forest fires and the bark beetle have been showing us how successful this grandiose idea was for several years. Human history is full of such overwhelming ideas and as you can currently see we are not through with them yet.
I'm all the happier when I see something like this. Young beeches, which establish their own biotope in the middle of the spruces and are getting ready to restore the old stable condition of the forest.
Unfortunately, this process will take another two or three hundred years and it will be difficult for me to photograph the final end result.
Das neue Jahr steht für einen Neuanfang, so wie diese Gruppe aus jungen Buchen mitten in einem Fichtenwald.
Es gab eine Zeit, da war meine Heimat bedeckt von riesigen alten Buchenwäldern. Wälder, die über tausende Jahre gewachsen waren. Sie waren nicht nur der bestimmenden Lebensraum, auch für meine Vorfahren, sie waren auch ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Kultur. In diesen Wäldern lebten meine Vorfahren, die germanischen Stämme. Die Römer können ein Lied davon singen, wie gut wir an diesen Lebensraum angepasst waren.
Die massiven Baumstämme waren die Säulen unserer Kathedralen und unsere hohen Priester lasen die Zeichen aus kleinen Stäben aus Buchenholz (daher schreiben wir mit Buchstaben - Buchen Stäbe).
Doch dann kam die industrielle Revolution und mit ihr der unstillbare Hunger nach Brennstoff und schnell wachsendem Baumaterial und mit ihm die Erfindung der Fichtenmonokultur.
Wie erfolgreich diese grandiose Idee war beweissen uns seit einigen Jahren die Waldbrände und der Borkenkäfer. Die menschliche Geschichte in voll von solchen überwältigenden Ideen und wie man gerade sieht, sind wir damit auch bis heute noch nicht durch.
Um so mehr freue ich mich, wenn ich so etwas sehe. Junge Buchen, die in Mitten der Fichten ein eigene Biotop begründen und sich bereit machen, den alten stabilen Zustand des Waldes wieder herzustellen.
Bedauerlicherweise wird dieser Prozess noch zwei-, dreihundert Jahre dauern und es wird schwer für mich das finale Endergebnis zu fotografieren.

Knowledge should mean a full grasp of knowledge:
Knowledge means to know yourself, heart and soul.
If you have failed to understand yourself,
Then all of your reading has missed its call.
What is the purpose of reading those books?
So that Man can know the All-Powerful.
If you have read, but failed to understand,
Then your efforts are just a barren toil.
Don’t boast of reading, mastering science
Or of all your prayers and obeisance.
If you don’t identify Man as God,
All your learning is of no use at all.
The true meaning of the four holy books
Is found in the alphabet’s first letter.
You talk about that first letter, preacher;
What is the meaning of that-could you tell?
Yunus Emre says to you, pharisee,
Make the holy pilgrimage if need be
A hundred times-but if you ask me,
The visit to a heart is best of all.
Yûnus Emre (1238–1320)
Montmartre, which means «mont des martyrs», owes his name to the martyrdom of Saint Dionysus, who was beheaded in this place around the year 250. Saint Dionysus was Bishop of Paris and is the patron saint of France.
It is believed that the religious symbolism of the hill is even older, and it has been suggested that it was a sacred place for druids due to its high location with respect to the rest of the area.
In the middle of the 19th century, many artists moved to live in Montmartre. At the end of the century, Montmartre became one of the main artistic centers of Paris.
September means more post work trips out for sunset. Not the perfect sunset we were after but Meols rarely disappoints at low tide with so many boats dotted around the beach.
it means he hasn't the slightest intention of putting it into practice ;-)

Scotch Argus Butterfly:
Despite its name, the Scotch Argus is not only found in Scotland; it is also found at two sites in the north of England. A freshly emerged Scotch Argus is a sight to behold; the dark brown velvety upper sides making the butterfly appear almost jet black from a distance. The butterfly is unmistakable when seen basking with its wings open, when orange bands containing distinctive spots are revealed. This butterfly lives in well-defined colonies that are often very large.
Like the Mountain Ringlet, the ability of this butterfly to survive cool temperatures means that it was probably one of the first species to recolonise the British Isles after the last ice age, over 10,000 years ago. The English colonies, Arnside Knott and Smardale Gill, are both found in Westmorland. Colonies are much more numerous in Scotland, where this butterfly can be found in most of northern, western and southwest Scotland. This butterfly is absent from the lowlands of central Scotland, many of the western isles (including the Outer Hebrides), Orkney and Shetland.

Summer is here and that means breaking out the grill and enjoying family and good friends. The grill is hot and we got some burgers and dogs ready to eat. Cheeky and I do it country style so grab some cold ones and stop on by if you are in the neighborhood.
We wish you all peace and happiness.

Fjallabak Nature Reserve. - Ljótipollur Lake 20210717
Although it is nothing else, this beautiful maar or volcanic crater bears the name ugly as a name. Ljótipollur translated means ugly puddle or ugly pond. But most craters that have lakes inside them are exceptionally scenic and photogenic. Ljótipollur is no exception with its light, vegetated slopes, and visible lava layers on the rim. The maars are usually quite deep because the water originates in the groundwater below and they have no streams entering or leaving the lake, only underground. Most often craters with small lakes have this beautiful turquoise blue color that gives the crater an added value for photographers.
