New Horizons
Moody Blues
Well, I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I've got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'Cause I know I'm gonna find my peace of mind
Someday
Where is this place that we have found?
Nobody knows where we are bound
I long to hear, I need to see
'Cause I've shed tears too many for me
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'Cause I know I'm gonna find my peace of mind
Someday
One year to the day I've waited to take this shot.
Twice a year, (exactly every six months) the rising sun lines up directly with this gate and footpath, at this beach pool.
A year ago, I missed it by two days, due to a bad calculation on my part.
Six months ago, the conditions were perfect on the day, but....I was in Covid lockdown, along with half of Sydney.
Fast forward to today, and once again, the conditions looked perfect. A lot of cloud predicted, a high tide and a moderate swell. As I approached the beach forty minutes before sunrise, I could see a cloud free break on the horizon line. BINGO!!! I knew I'd get the shot, before I even stepped out of the car.
Well worth the long wait, and another image now ticked off the bucket list.
Hope you like "New Horizons"
Cheers, Mike
New York City’s Lincoln Center Plaza with the fountain lights set up to support Pride Month with the Metropolitan Opera House in the background. Lincoln Center actually traces it origin back to 1955 when the Robert Moses led the Mayor’s Slum Clearance Committee received the blessing to designate Lincoln Square for urban renewal. Soon after John D. Rockefeller III became the chairman of the exploratory committee and would stay on to become the first president of Lincoln Center of Performing Arts, Incorporated. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @lincolncenter @mpbcom @kehcamera @nycurbanism @nybucketlist @nycprimeshot #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
WHAT time the earth takes on the garb of Spring,
And new-born joy runs riot in the blood,
When the year’s tide turns refluent to its flood,
And blissful birds their songs are carolling,—
When life once more is fair, and everything 5
In nature smiles, when tender flowrets bud,
And deck the mead as stars the heavens stud,—
What wonder that my heart leaps up to sing!
What wonder that to thee my song of praise
I bring, and burn sweet incense at thy shrine, 10
And offer all the worship of my lays
To thee, whose loveliness hath lent my days
That life renewed whereof the Florentine
Sang ere he wrote the Comedy Divine!
William Morton Payne, "Incipit Vita Nova". 1900.

The endemic New Zealand Falcon. Sometimes also called sparrow hawk. The New Zealand falcon is a magpie-sized raptor that feeds predominantly on live prey. Adapted to hunt within the dense New Zealand forests they are also found in more open habitats such as tussocklands and roughly grazed hill country. t is the country's most threatened bird of prey, with only around 3000–5000 breeding pairs remaining.
I have never seen one in the wild so I decided to visit the Wingspan National Bird of Prey centre in Rotorua where I took this shot. Such magnificent birds. Superfast and very maneuverable. Well worth the visit. Interesting fact: the males at 250gm are only half the size of the females!
