A view with part of Horseshoe Lake while walking the namesake trail in Denali National Park & Preserve. Not long after a friend and I had started walking this trail, rain had started, so I missed noticing some of the placid water reflections, given the rain drops. Once that stopped though...oh, what a sight it was! With this image, I decided to angle my SLR camera slightly downward capturing that view and look across the calm waters with the reflections. The eyes would then be drawn to the forest on the lake’s other side.
I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLabs 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.
UP 8745 navigates its way out of the valley near Lima, Montana. For the next 30 miles, the train will slowly make its way towards Monida Pass.
This image is the eighty-second published (1/15/2014) by PhotoVogue Italia.
This young bald eagle, its head and tail feathers not yet turned to white, is still being tutored by its parents as they give him the skills to navigate life and therefore eventually to be free.
Wishing the same blessing for all young people, and a joy filled new year to you all.
Those of you in Europe will have experienced the widespread thunderstorms over the last couple of weeks. This is what it looks like from the air. For us the skies are our workplace and thunderstorms take up a heck of a lot of room. What you may not appreciate is quite how large they are. They are usually as high or higher than any airliner can fly and can be 30 to 100 miles across. You only really get a true impression of their size when you see another airliner flying past one. I was at 38,000ft and the Airbus 320 in the photo was at 37,000ft and neither of us were above the tops of the storms. Going through them is not an option so we had to pick our way around them. The only people working harder than us on days like these are ATC who still have to keep us apart.
Navigating the winds (2019) - Lucius Lu China
'Navigating the Winds' by Lucius Lu, CHINA
Materials: stainless steel
Artist Statement: The mirrored and bright surface of the stainless steel boat contrasts with the frosted texture of the vertical body, evoking a profound sense of the passage of time. A towering figure stands firmly and very still at the bow of the boat, calmly facing the wind, whilst behind, a weathered and open stern symbolises numerous obstacles that have been overcome; stillness and motion are poetically contrasted.
The cucumber green spider (Araniella cucurbitina) is a beautifully green spider and while the female is pretty in her all green clothes, the male - as seen here - is distinctly more stylish.
There are however more than one Araniella species which look very similar, so there are a lot of spiders out there being misidentified as A. cucurbitina.
I found this particular one navigating a Japanese tree lilac (Syringa reticulata) and shot it at 2.7:1 magnification.

Europe, Greece, Aegean, Cyclades, Naxos, Moutsouna, Enaerios carts, Emery ore (cut from all sides)
Carts and emery ore (smyrigli) of the sky- lift transport system (Enaerios) that took emery ore from the mines of the mountains near Stravolagada to the harbour in Moutsouna where the carts of the sky lift were put on rails and rolled to the loading quay were the ore was loaded in these barges. They would then navigate to a bulk carrier that was, because of its deep draught, anchored somewhere in the bay.
Shot in Moutsouna, at the former and aforementioned transfer point near the loading pier.
The 'Enaerios' transportation system was created in 1928 and operated till 1978. Its statistics: 170 carts, 9 km long, 73 iron pylons with a height from 5 to 43 m. Some 50 workers were needed to operate it. Before the Enaerios, donkeys were used an after the completion of the road network of Naxos in 1978, lorries took over the transport.
Emery is locally known as smyrigly (also named smyrida) and was for many years the main source of wealth of Naxos. It largely consists of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide=Al2O3) and other minerals such as the iron-bearing spinels, hercynite, magnetite, and rutile. The hardness of corundum is second only to diamond. It was used as an abrasive for metals, glass, wood and sandblasting and as a traction enhancer on roads, loading ramps, airport runways and pavements. Nowadays sintered carbide and oxide materials have replaced emery as abrasive, although on a small scale emery is still mined on the island.

Geiranger - This specially marked road section, which has been named Knuten – the Knot – is still the same as when it was opened in 1882. It was constructed in connection with the work done on Geirangervegen to win height and navigate difficulties in the terrain. The construction in solid rock is witness to the engineering skills of its designers and those who built it, and it represents an important monument to the road-building pioneers who built Geirangervegen from 1881 and to the opening in 1889.

Forggensee is a lake located north of Füssen in the district of Ostallgäu in Bavaria, Germany. One of many lakes in the region around Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein castles, Forggensee is the fifth-largest lake in Bavaria, with a surface area of 15.2 km². The River Lech flows through it. Forggensee is known primarily as a tourist destination for aquatic sports and recreation. The lake provides ideal conditions for surfing, sailing, fishing and boating. The lake is stocked with pike, trout and eel. Two ships navigate the lake on two different routes.
Forggensee is a man-made lake. It was created in 1954, when the River Lech was dammed for the first time to create the Lechsee Lake. The option of letting water in and out reduces the risk of flooding when the snow melts in the spring and regulates the flow of water over the "Power Plant Step" located downstream.
along Route 1, on our way to Carmel, California. i shot this from the car as we were navigating the winding road, and desperately hoping we'd see a gas station soon as we were running low on fuel. we did find one and they were selling gas at $5.89 per gallon!!! we bought just enough to tide us over. lesson learned: make sure you have a full tank before you get on Route 1 in the Central Coast area.
i'm inching my way through your streams. thanks for being patient.
through rain filled dreams.
Through the shape shifting forms of strangers and shadowy figures, we tell ourselves directions,
after we tell ourselves our destinations.
Learned a new trick...I used a bokeh filter that I made for my 70-200 lens from a heavy piece of paper with a star shape cut in the center. The lights are LED Christmas lights. Thanks to "Two Hosers" podcast for the great idea!
