After a pretty exhausting day in the South of Iceland with visits to Seljallandsfoss, Skógafoss and Solheimajökull, we actually wanted to stretch our feet and enjoy the evening in our camper van at the campsite in Vík. On our way, however, we passed the parking lot that is the starting point for the hike to the famous plane wreck at Solheimasandur. Knowing we still had approximately 45 minutes to hike, we looked at the clock and realized we might make it in time for sunset, so we gave it a try.
We grabbed our heavy camera bags and began a hike through seeming nothingness, only passing a small plant here and there growing amidst the black gravel. Some people were already returning to the parking lot and we we through: How can you leave just before sunset? Anyway, we were glad because this meant fewer people will walk into our composition or climb on the plane, which some of the remaining tourists actually did when we finally arrived.
To our surprise, there were very few people left and we still had a couple of minutes left to find some compositions before the sun set. Due to the lack of clouds in the sky, it was clear that the most promising opportunity to improve the image would be a sunstar, so I tried several positionings with this one being my favourite. Even more exhausted, we then walked all the way back and were very happy when we finally arrived at the campsite in Vik pretty late, which was also the reason why we didn’t make it for sunrise at Reynisfjara the next day, but I guess you can’t have it all. Hope you like it! :)
Walking in my local woods this fallen tree’s golden brown stopped me, with the fresh spring beach leaves above and the wash of blue below.
An impromptu flyover by this swan today at Pitsford Reservoir, which stirred me into action, with no time to adjust the camera settings.
In fact this photo was a little underexposed, so this is a cropped and slightly tweaked version.

going to work and coming home in the cold, dark and sometimes damp days. We forget what a day in May is like. Just a reminder :)

Ok, I'm really spamming today, but I'm just sooooo inspired right now with my dolls. It's Labour Day holiday on top of it all, so I'm spending it photographing out there in the sunshine. Yaya and Lili are celebrating Mayday too in their pretty outfits and (tiny) balloons. ;)

Another photo of a Mayday tree from my yard.
Photo taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 7-14mm f/2.8 Pro hand held. This version was converted from raw in DxO PhotoLab 5.3 with some basic adjustments. Further work was undertaken in DxO's Nik Color Efex Pro 5. I am pleased with the colourful dreamlike qualities of the finished image.
North Parade, Oxford
When the shenanigans die down in the city centre there is a drift to North Parade. 'May Day is Midday at North Parade' runs the slogan. The road is closed to traffic between about 12 noon and 2pm. Around noon, morris sides from the city centre arrive to dance outside the Rose & Crown. Oxford City Morris act as hosts, and regulars include Oxford University Morris Men, Abingdon Traditional, Charlbury, Crendon, Wolvercote and the Summertown Morris. The Rose & Crown, with the Gardener's Arms, traditionally feed and water the morris sides from a 'street-based barbecue', selling to the public after the morris are victualled.
The Rose & Crown hosts impromptu musical sessions in its rear courtyard. Though the dancing stops around 2pm, the pub sessions may go on to 5 or 6pm.
TRADITIONAL PATTERN OF EVENTS
May Morning Oxford is an ever-changing celebration and there is no fixed programme. What follows is the general pattern of events...
Magdalen Bridge
5am: around this time, crowds start assembling on Magdalen Bridge.
6am: as the sun come up the Magdalen College choir sing the Hymnus Eucharistus from the Great Tower. After a brief service there are more short choral pieces. Then bells ring out for some 20 minutes.
City Centre
As soon as the choir finishes, there is a procession from the Bridge up the High Street to the city centre. Morris dancing begins around 6.20 am in Radcliffe Square, and continues for nearly three hours at various locations including Broad Street, Catte Street, under the Bridge of Sighs, in front of St John's College on St Giles and on the forecourt of the Ashmolean Museum.
Around 6.20 am also, the tumultuous, green-themed Hurly Burly Whirly by God it's Early Band starts playing traditional dance tunes from the steps of the Clarendon Building on Broad Street. Expect bagpipes, fiddles, squeezeboxes, drums - and delirious dancing crowds.
Meanwhile, Highland dance can be seen in Radcliffe Square, just outside All Souls, and others contribute in impromptu fashion to the revels. After the singing from Magdalen Tower, Horns of Plenty - Oxford's community street band - entertains the crowds proceeding up the High Street. Also on the High, Brazilian rhythms come courtesy of Sol Samba, an exotic percussion and dance troupe who tend to hang back from the main parade so that their drumming does not overwhelm the morris music.
And a Jack-in-the-Green can be seen in the city centre. He appears with the morris men gathered at Magdalen Bridge. After the Hymnus he proceeds up the High Street to feature in displays in Radcliffe Square, Broad Street - and at a concluding rendition of 'Bonny Green Garters' outside St John's College on St Giles around 8.30am. For more on the Oxford 'Jack' see The Morris in Oxford.
Things quieten down for a bit around 9am as the massed morris retire for a private breakfast at St Edmund's Hall. But they start up again around 10am as dancing resumes outside the Ashmolean Museum.
At noon, May Day celebrations continue at North Parade.
Mayday Mayday; A crashed plane! Went down because of the heavy weather conditions.
This memorial commemorates the 117 Allied airmen who were slain around Harderwijk in World War II. Many of the planes crashed into the IJsselmeer after the victims washed ashore or were missing.
Non, ce n'est pas un nouvel essai de flouté....Ce Clairon m'a surprise en s'envolant brusquement, ce qui m'a fait bouger ! J'étais partie pour effacer cette prise, mais sur écran, elle m'a parut plutôt rigolote...
