An image from a distant past, a mélange of memories.
This artwork is based on a picture I drew as a kid in growing up in China some thirty years ago. I no longer have the picture, but I recreated it from memory with some embellishments including adding the different layers of mountains, which is the main technical spotlight of this creation. The light nougat sky and the coral sun are reminiscent of warm and hazy bygone times.
Einen Artikel mit weiteren Bildern von der Kaitersbergwanderung gibts auf meinem Blog.

This night at Lake Matheson was incredible to say the least, the skies were clear all night with the odd wave of fog dancing through the flatlands in the distance. Cold crisp air, stunning stars and reflections like no other, Lake Matheson is a sight to behold under our Southern Stars.
Salaam & Good Friday. I've been real busy these past few days & got no time to scan what's up with everyone everywhere, but want to catch up quickly with my Flickr contacts ( will try my best!)

Like a majestic huge steamship from the fog of an ancient sea the immensity of Union Pacific 4014 comes into view from the heavy ground fog at Sherman Hill revealing all of his detail, huffing and chuffing breathing like a mythical beast of another time. .
A chance find today after leaving the A roads .... a spectacular 5 acre woodland and water garden on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, famous for National Collections of Birch and Alder trees and an enchanting collection of sculptures.
The Douro, just above Valeria Dam. Curious opposition of vegetated and bare slopes.

"Some trudge across this wilderness bent and broken. Bent by their load of pain and fears. Broken by a life lost in a lonely struggle.
Some journey across the deserts and over the mountains simply seeking. They come knowing only what they desire. Sadly, they return empty and bitter. They could not accept what was gifted. Nor embrace what was shown.
Some float and glide across the vast expanse of silent emptiness. Their hearts coiled with doubts. The sighing winds merely cool. The searing sunrays always burn. The land absorbs their madness but they are unmoved by her shimmering nakedness. Untouched by her mystical language. Their eyes dulled with the coldness that seeps from their dying hearts. They move on wondering why they ever came.
And I know of some who walk through this shattered landscape kneeling ever so gently to stroke the ground that holds them up to the skies. They come with all their pains. And broken promises. They come with all their questions and elusive dreams. They come with what they are. And what they can never be. They come with loving in their hearts. And they know they have come home.
And to these journeymen Ladakh gives all that is hers." ~ prabir c purkayastha
I was exhausted, having ascended from 3,500 to 5,000 meters (camped at 4,800 meters), with altitude sickness pulsing behind my eyes. All I could concentrate on, was catching the light of this warm, glowing sunset as I stumbled and slipped over loose rocks and through this glacial stream. The colors are real ~ the mountains were golden, the hillside the color of wine, the rocks and stream green....an amazing, unexpected kaleidoscope of color in this barren land.
All critique welcome.

Another in this mini series of the beautiful sunset over Grainsby, Lincolnshire Wolds.
As the sunset progressed, it appeared as though a dragon like creature was flying through the sky above the tree line, to my eyes at least!
The image looks a whole lot better if you click on it to view it large!
FAIRYS ANGEL
With autumn leaves falling near the earth
Plumbed down to the faires first
Eyes of golden reds and greens
The angels smiled, "Do you know what it means?"
Then mother earth smiled to her sister trees,
Will you hold the babies please?
The falling little leaves of eloquent sheen
Fell softly in between the tucked sheets so nice
The motherly trees all coverts with delights
The guiding faires with iridescent lights
Brightened up the spots so nice
The majestic trees, with motherly sight,
Open their arms so wide
Felt the little hearts tucked inside deep
The angels sleep till children's day
To see their paths along life's way
If you the inner child look clear to the sky
You will see faires fly by
--Deborah Shepard (2004)
The ocean mist over the Icelandic Highlands... with a constant rain storm on this part of the island it's no surprise that when it's not covered in snow, it's green like the lawns of the fields.

The mythical winged horse meets the dark horse.
This is a variation of my Achiyalabopa image flic.kr/p/Y2ZNMA. Actually, it is how I planned and initially executed it.
I discovered this stunning structure, while scouting the place in the afternoon, set a marker on my GPS and named it Pegasus. It was immediately clear to me that I had to capture it with the dark horse of the Milky Way right on its shoulder.
It was my 6th night in a row doing nightscapes and I was very tired. I therefore only noticed while shooting at the next spot, that I had taken the whole sequence at f/2.8 instead of f/1.4. I immediately went back and captured the scene again, resulting in the Achiyalabopa image.
Because I still thought that the original composition was better, I checked what I could recover from the 2-stops underexposed RAWs. The advantage of the stopped down lens is that the stars are free of coma. What do you think of the result?

Lamego is an attractive town with Renaissance and baroque mansions overlooked by two hills. On one of the hills are the ruins of a 12th century castle, on the other is the monumental baroque Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. A marvelous granite staircase decorated with tiles, fountains, small chapels, and statues leads to a baroque church with views over the town. The Sanctuary is one of the most important pilgrim centres in Portugal. It is conformed by a 18th century church with twin towers and a marvelous blue and white plaster interior, with sky-blue rococó style ceiling and gilded altar; however, despite being a vastly beautiful church, it’s eclipsed by the monumental baroque church in zigzag in that accesses the church. Said stairs are conformed of 686 steps ornamented with tiles, urns, fountains, and statues. On one of the terraces are 18 statues. In the center is a monumental obelisk of 22 meters high supported by mythic images. Both the stairs and the church are visited year round, but especially during September 8th, since it is the main location of the festivity of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios; during which devotees climb the stairs to ask for miracles.
The famous baroque church if Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios stands atop the city of Lamego, north of Portugal. A marvelous granite staircase decorated with tiles, fountains, small chapels, and statues leads to the monumental obelisk and further to a baroque church with views over the town.
Lamego, dat wordt beschouwd als culturele hoofdstad van de Douro regio. Vanaf het centrum van Lamego loopt een imponerend trappenwerk met 686 treden omhoog, dat eindigt in een rotstuin heiligdom. Het Santuário is halverwege de 18e eeuw gebouwd, maar was pas in 1905 af, en is toegewijd aan Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. De steile ondergrond benadrukt nog meer dit grandioze bouwwerk, dat omgeven wordt door het mysterieuze dichtbegroeide woud van het park Parque de Santo Estevão en een heel aangename locatie is. Nicolau Nasoni, de maker van de schilderingen op de gewelven van de kathedraal van Lamego, ontwierp enkele van de barokke werken die het sanctuarium versieren, in het bijzonder de prachtige granieten fontein, die naast dit heiligdom ligt. Verschillende terrassen verrijken op verschillende niveaus de monumentale trappen en zijn met interessante beeldhouwwerken versierd. Op één van de terrassen staan 18 standbeelden. In het midden staat een monumentale waterschaal waar een obelisk van 22 meter hoogte op rust, die versierd en ondersteund wordt door mythische beelden. Tenslotte komt men bij het heiligdom.

The medusa was a beautiful woman who was followed and raped by Poseidon in a temple to Athena. Athena was offended and cursed the medusa so her hair became snakes, her lower body a serpent and her gaze would turn all to stone. I depicted her as a sad and lonely victim rather than a monster. Perseus beheaded her with Athena putting the head on her shield. Beautifully though, the Pegasus was born from her severed neck which I like to think was her spirit.

The Ogopogo
This Canadian creature of folklore is an elusive, shy and polite water spirit. It has a head similar to an otter and a long serpent-like body. Along its body are found many flippers or fins that help propel it through the water. Its tail can create fierce storms and should you kill one then your descendants will be cursed to never die comfortably in bed. The Ogopogo can shapeshift into an old umbrella caught in a rope with a boot or other debris meant to create skeptics.

If you're interested, I have written a new post on my personal blog where I explore some of the impact of my surgery and how I am making my way through the healing process. Those of you who have known me for a while know that I like to write and that it helps me to make sense of my world. The feedback that I receive consistently from others is that it helps them too, as they are often in a place where they are feeling the same things but don't have the words to express them. Potential trigger warning.
