Most of my pictures are taken in and around the city of Molde, in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.
This was taken from Varden
From the Varden viewpoint (407 m.a.s.) there is a fantastic view over the town of Molde, the fjord with the islands, and the famous Molde panorama with its 222 partially snow-clad peaks.

While most of the northern states, and Canadian Provinces have already had their first snowfall of the year, the coastal region of BC has been blessed with positive temperatures and near constant rainfall instead. In spite of this, I set off this past weekend to shoot the Fraser Canyon. Train activity was quite slow for a Saturday morning, so I was forced to pivot from my plan to stay on the 'CP' side of the canyon, and instead go wherever the traffic was moving.
After hearing that I would have an extended drought of eastbounds running up the Cascade Sub, I headed over to the Yale Sub to wait for the next westbound departing Boston Bar. A new location that was on my list, was on the east side of the Chapman's Bar Tunnel. Credit for figuring out this location goes to Ryan A, who shot a great scene here a week prior. (Thanks Ryan!)
Above CN M311 winds its way through the curves between Komo and Chapmans, held to restricted speed on account of a slide fence under repair.
I spent most of the last week in the pretty and historic village of Huriel in the Allier department in central France. The centre of the village is very old and was once surrounded by ramparts. My father lives in a house somewhere in the middle of the image.
The POV was from a tower built in the 12th and 13th centuries, which at 30 meters gave an excellent view of the village though the stairs to the top were hard work I will post a shot of the tower very soon
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.
Most of my beloved Roses in the garden are Floribunda Roses. Also called “Polyanthas”
Floribunda (: Latin root) or Polyantha (: Greek root) , means exactly the same thing: “Abundant in blooms!! " And they are!!!!!!!!!
The Floribunda Family are Modern Roses!! They are created by talented Roserists by marrying old singly growing varieties of Roses . The irresistible David Austin Roses/ English Roses are spectacular, because not only they are just Floribundas, but they also have large and double blooms, and strongly scented! ( : Graham Thomas, Golden Celebration, Molineaux, Shakespeare 2000)
They grow in multiple adorable buds together, and all bloom almost simultaneously!! The result is an irresistible splash of colour , which seen from a distance is very appreciated, especially in big gardens like mine! And that is why I chose them!!
At this sight, the title of the book about the famous painter Giovanni Segantini, who lived here in the Engadin for many years, immediately came to mind. In this area at 1800 metres above sea level, the air is purer, the light is different, more intense, it's hard to explain. But I always experience an incredible feeling of happiness here...
This picture was taken on 3 February 2024, at the end of the day at Lake Sils. I had photographed on the frozen lake until I had practically no light left. A tripod would have been helpful... As I walked back to the village, I turned round one last time - and saw this view. Despite the darkness, I took a picture because it was the most beautiful I saw.

Das Schönste, was ich sah...
Bei diesem Anblick kam mir sofort der Titel des Buches über den berühmten Maler Giovanni Segantini in den Sinn, der hier im Engadin viele Jahre gelebt hatte. In dieser Gegend auf 1800 m ist die Luft reiner, das Licht ist anders, intensiver, es ist schwer zu erklären. Aber ich erlebe hier jedesmal ein unglaubliches Glücksgefühl...
Dieses Bild entstand am 3. Februar 2024, am Ende des Tages am Silsersee. Ich hatte am gefrorenen See fotografiert, bis ich praktisch kein Licht mehr hatte. Ein Stativ wäre hilfreich gewesen... Als ich zum Dorf zurück spazierte, habe ich mich ein letztes Mal umgedreht - und diese Sicht erblickt. Trotz Dunkelheit habe ich ein Bild gemacht, denn es war das Schönste, was ich sah.
Most of my Scotland shots are records this year, but the conditions were so picturesque it was hard not to take photos...here's a pano from the side of Kyle Rhea with Skye on the left separated from the mainland by the narrow stretch of water at the Kylerhea ferry. Glenelg is on the right. A passing snow shower livening up the sky.
Many trees have been felled along this stretch and that's opened up some great views.
For most of its length the River Tamar marks the boundary between Cornwall on this side and Devon on the other. There was once a ferry here that took people (and then cars) across the river from Saltash to St Budeaux on the outskirts of Plymouth, but this was replaced by the large suspension bridge (out of shot to the left) in the early 1960s. Saltash was developed by the Normans and at one time was the only franchised seaport between Dartmouth and Fowey, long before Plymouth became established.
Most of my pictures are taken in and around the city of Molde, witch is the capital of Møre og Romsdal, in the country of Norway
This one was taken in the city of Molde.
The city is located along the Moldefjorden and the river Molde. The city is the largest urban and commercial centre of the Romsdal region as well as the administrative centre of Molde Municipality and of Møre og Romsdal county.

Like most photographers, I also fashion myself as somewhat of an amateur weather watcher, as weather drives a lot of the decisions I make about where to go, and when, and what to photograph. Yesterday was a bitterly cold day in Strasburg, Pennsylvania as the Norfolk and Western 475 was in charge of passengers duties. In the glint of the late afternoon winter sun, the train is seen here thundering through Ebenshade. The 15 degree temperatures made for an unbelievable plume, and the crystal clear day free of clouds was some of the best shooting conditions I have had in a very long time.

Unchained Melody
(Lyrics)
Woah, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea, yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Woah, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Most of my pics of the Sawtooth lakes are from my favorite: Little Redfish Lake, which I posted yesterday.
Here's a shot of the much larger lake, with the Grand Mogul capturing first light on a clear day.
The lake is named for the brilliant sockeye salmon that once returned from the Pacific Ocean in such massive quantities that the lake shimmered red during spawning season. Currently, only a small percentage of the wild sockeye succeed in making through the several hydroelectric dams along their route back to the lake to spawn. Efforts continue to enhance their chances for more salmon to return here.
Redfish Lake is at the headwaters of the Salmon River, whose waters flow north to meet the Snake River and continue to the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday!
The appearance of this peaceful-looking and beautiful snow-capped mountain peak in the Pacific Northwest deceived me. I knew that Mount Rainier was the highest peak in the state of Washington. What I didn't realize, however, is that it is "considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list," (according to Wikipedia). As such, if it were to irrupt again, it would threaten the entire Puyallup River valley because of its lahar-hazard zones. (And to think that I camped in the forest on a mountain right next to it one night...ha!!!)

The most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park in Utah, USA. A 'must-do hike' from the parking lot, it is the most photographed arch in the world. The original photo was one of my first submissions to Flickr (also in this Photostream). This version was taken with a Nikon F, 50mm -f1.4 Nikkor lens using Kodachrome ASA 25, about one hour before sunset. This version was processes using several modules of Topaz plug-ins.

The Monastery, known as Blackfriars from the black cloaks the friars wore, was founded on a site west of Southgate Street, Gloucester, with the city wall adjacent to the south. It comprised a church and a quadrangle formed by such buildings as the scriptorium (library), the dormitory with its renowned scissor-braced roof and the cloisters. It was established around 1239 under the patronage of Henry III and at its height was home to 30-40 friars. Today it is one of the most complete surviving Dominican black friaries in England and owned by English Heritage.
Not the most original or inspired title in the world. I was going to name this photo "Childhood Memories", since I grew up in a small town in Connecticut and worked on a vegetable and tobacco farm during spring weekends and during the summer after schools (my math teacher owned the farm). There were many barns, and we hung broad-leaf tobacco in the barns to dry. I enjoyed that work at the time, but figured the "Childhood Memories" worked for me, but would not make sense to anyone else. So, "The Gray Barn" is all I could come up with! Maybe there's a seminar somewhere I could take on creatively naming photos! This scene is from Faust Park in Chesterfield, Missouri. The park was established to forever preserve the original estate of Missouri's second governor, Frederick Bates.

Most of you know by now how I love 'playing' with light, a never ending beautiful challenge, food for my creative soul, which I so desperately need at the moment...
Each flower or object, most definitely people, seem to have a different 'personality' which I'm trying to capture.
Alstroemeria, the genus named after the Swedish baron Alströmer who brought them back from a trip to South America in 1753.
Also called the Peruvian Lily or Inca Lily, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants.
The flower, which resembles a miniature lily, is very popular for bouquets and flower arrangements in the commercial cut flower trade.
They have a vase life of about two weeks.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

This was probably the most challenging landscape image I made on my recent break at West Bay in Dorset. The wind was howling and rain spots were constantly coating my ND grad. I sort of shielded my camera with my body to try and minimise the rain spots, but inevitably I had to remove some of them in post processing. Sunsets were very limited in their appearances throughout the week and this session was typical of how things were panning out; there was just a tantalising glimpse of orange along the horizon, but it didn't really develop beyond a teasing strip!
The Veluwe is one of the most beautiful natural regions in the Netherlands, where vast forests, rolling heathlands, and drifting sand dunes create a landscape full of contrast and tranquility. Each season paints the area in new colors — from the purple glow of late-summer heather to autumn mists and the fresh greens of spring and summer. Red deer, wild boar, and countless bird species roam freely through this unspoiled terrain. Whether you're walking, cycling, or simply taking in the view, the Veluwe reveals its quiet, timeless beauty again and again.
Most of my photographs are taken in and around the city of Molde, in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

Also, I HAVE RETURNED!
Most of the reasons why I haven't posted more often is mainly because I've had personal family problems, move houses, and lacked inspiration.
But yeah, I will try my hardest to post more stuff. My next post might be tomorrow. I however might be gone on the 20th for vacation(MAYBE!)

Most of the photos I take of Sethi outdoors are photos of him on the lawn. He loves to lie on grass and he will love it even more when it gets warmer and the grass stays quite cool.

Most of my photos of perched Cuckoos this year have been rather distant so here's another flight shot. When frozen in a photograph they can look rather like a bird of prey but their flight is so weak you would be unlikely to confuse it in real life. And soon after this one perched a Sparrowhawk dived at it and I'm sure it was thinking food rather than mate, so I don't think it was fooled either. Cuckoos are here for such a short time as they are not tied down with the business of rearing young so set off back to Africa just a couple of months after they have arrived. The youngsters reared by other birds set off in August or early September and find their sub-Saharan wintering grounds by instinct.
Rabbits are some of the most adored and benevolent creatures to grace our back yards and meadows. Their long, pink ears, powerful hind legs, black button noses, and cotton tails give them their distinctive, cuddly appearance and have made them the subject of childhood fables over the course of several centuries.
During warmer seasons, rabbits will eat weeds, grasses, clover, wildflowers, and flower and vegetable plants. When the weather turns cold, rabbits will munch on twigs, buds, bark, conifer needles, and any remaining green plants.
Rabbits are famous for their ability to reproduce. They can have several litters of four to seven kits a year. However, rabbits will naturally have fewer litters or will have litters with fewer kits when food or water is scarce. Wild rabbits have relatively short life spans (typically, less than two years), but they mature quickly and have short (30-day) gestation periods. Their mortality is based on food availability, predator presence, and weather stability.
Rabbits are born hairless, blind, and helpless. Mother rabbits leave newborns in their nests, visiting them only at dusk and at dawn to avoid drawing the attention of predators.
Eating Spiderwort pollen. I did not see first until it moved.
Most Spiderwort are blue, but I have the pink variety.
How you may ask, can something be "most natural"?
Well, they say "Nature abhors a straight line." I dare you to find a straight line in this gnarly old oak.

Also known as the Bridge of the Slovak Uprising ( Most Slovenského národného povstania), or simply the UFO bridge, it was built in the late 60's, completed and opened in 1972.
The top of the tower houses an observation deck and a restaurant.
It's taken me this long to try again at joining the two shots together.
January.
January gets a bad rap. Yeah.... the holidays that most people look forward to are over... the next paid holiday (at least in my world) is Memorial Day! Most of us have eaten our way through the holidays and have now made ridiculous resolutions about losing weight, exercising and getting healthy... along with numerous other resolutions that rarely survive the first month of the year. It's cold. It's dark.... it's dark when we get up and dark when we get out of work. It's like an endless Monday.... (well, for most people... I, personally love Mondays, so that's not really how I feel!) ... 31 days straight of
Mondays for everyone else. And speaking of Mondays... and survival... here's another fun fact (almost as fun as the one about owls eating the heads off of pheasants).... The third Monday of January is regarded as the most depressing day of the year. It actually has the highest suicide rate of any other day of the year. Yup.... did you know that? And it's coming.... I'm going to survive Monday... because, hey! it's my favorite day of the week... now, Tuesday... that's another story altogether.
Anyway.... there are good things about January. It's a "catch up" month. We get to do things that we didn't have time to do because we were prepping for the holidays. It's dark... so we get to come home from work and put pajamas on at 7:00 (some of us are even asleep by 7:30!!) So, we get to catch up on sleep. It's cold... so we get to use wool.... wool blankets, wool scarves, wool sweaters, wool fingerless gloves. I love wool. Oh...and we get to wear many layers... which hide the extra pounds that have been added due to all of the chocolate covered goodies that appeared in the kitchen at work during all of December. It's cold and dark... so it gives us an excuse to curl up under blankets, with a good book, and go to sleep early. And if there's something you are supposed to do, that you don't want to.... you can pray for snow to get out of it... or just use the excuse... it's too cold. And if you do go out, like when I go to Waterloo Village every day...you have the place all to yourself (because it's cold... and it's dark!!) ... but having the place all to myself... PERFECT!! Just the way I like it! There... don't you feel better already? Yeah, I have no problem with January, and it's almost over anyway (although I have several other things to whine and complain about that aren't even close to being over... ugh)
Charlotte shows her most endearing look as most older Golden Retrievers do. She has a very gentle face and a great personality about her. She is a grand lady and she knows this just by the way she holds her head when being photographed !! I will definitely be photographing Charlotte again!
Like most railroad lines, the Clinchfield has a number of signature locations that almost everyone knows. This shot at Osborne's Curve in Dungannon, Virginia is most definitely one of those locations. So named for L.G. Osborne's Store, which is located just beyond the barn, this historic spot has seen the evolution of the railroads which run this line, including the Santa Train. I love the classic weathered barn, the mountains, and the Clinch river which all come together to give this scene a classic feel of the natural and rugged beauty of Appalachia.
The discerning eye will note that I *creatively* removed a few vehicles from the foreground to give this otherwise natural scene an uncluttered look. We have the technology, and I wanted a certain feel, so I exercised a little photographer's discretion.

Dettifoss is Europe's most powerful waterfall, located in the Vatnajökull National Park in the north-east of Iceland. Usually run over by tourists, we went there at 2am at night where we had the whole waterfall to ourselves. My friend John is standing at the cliff to take close up shots, while I was further away and taking shot with a long lens. He was so excited taking shots, repositioning himself, and taking more shots. I had a hard time catching up repositioning my camera from far away. For a brief moment he stood still, and I got this shot, which indicates the scale of Dettifoss.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
