"and if everything goes wrong, do it anyway ..."
..... was probably our motto for this day, clearly everything went wrong!
grin emoticon
But I had an awesome team and in the end we created something cool! It was not the plan but sometimes you have to be spontaneous. I hope you enjoy the first photo as much as I do. I left my comfort zone and tried something epic
It felt unreal not to create in nature...but it was an awesome experience! Thanks to everyone who was involved.

Cantabria is a unique combination of landscapes and lifestyles of a stunning coastline, a tranquil country, deep valleys, majestic mountains and coastal towns with character.
Infinite hills full of vegetation and deep valleys with microclimates, being able to change the landscape in a few kilometers.
The summer holidays are coming to an end soon for my kids. They both go back next Wednesday, so at the moment we are making the most of our time together.

Chances are that you have seen a number of sunrises from me, but sunsets are quite another story. Very little sunsets in my photostream. The reason for this is simple. I am not discriminating between sunrise and sunset, of course - both are beautiful, peaceful, culminating moments. On the other hand, I quite often love to contemplate a good sunset - and I am one who loves to drive other people's attention towards the beauty of a sunset (for some obscure reason so many people do not look at the sky any more...). But shooting at a sunset usually is beyond me: work, family life... only rarely I really stand a chance to get ready to seriously capture a sunset - I mean, something more than point my smartphone and take a photo from my garden.
Sunrises are a fundamentally different matter: nobody wants anything from me at that time of the day, so my chances to enjoy a sunrise session are substantially higher ;-) This is one of those precious occasions: my family and I were on a brief vacation in Umbria (see my Then Someone drew the curtains and... or A gift of Gold & Silk for some detail about this beautiful region in Central Italy) and in those days we allowed ourselves to live at a pretty leisurely pace. This made the trick and I did not miss the opportunity when it occurred.
Beautiful, peaceful, even moving as sunsets go, I still have a problem with them. Sunset is the end of the day, the end of light. It marks the beginning of the night, that is true: sunlight dies, but the gentle light of the stars gets center stage. However I do not love endings in general - I even feel a touch of sadness as I realize that the end of a book I am reading is getting close...
Well, this is where the intimate, astronomical relationship between sunset and sunrise come to rescue the situation. Everyone knows that our lives and that of our Mother Earth are governed by the endless cycle of night and day. So the sunset is just a chapter of a predictable - yet wondrous - story where it is followed by a sunrise, in a neverending rhythm that is the very pulse of our awesome living home planet. So at last I can enjoy a beautiful sunset without longing for the day that is flowing past.
Incredibly and inexplicably this photo of mine has ended up in Explore on 2022 September 29<\a>, albeit in the long tail of the gallery, about 4 years after the date of posting.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.3/0/+1.3 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. In the process I used to great advantage a small trick of mine involving Nik SIlverEfex Pro 2. Another good contribution to post-processing came from a cool trick by Boris Hajdukovic I have found rather serendipitously on the web.
Post-scriptum
I am afraid that colours and tones of this picture are pretty close to the edge of looking overdone. It all depends on your screen, of course: the picture looks safely good on the Samsung screen where I have processed it, but it looks a bit over-the-top on my other screen (HP), so I have rather subtly downtoned it.
Now we know that a picture cannot possibly look right on every screen - the factors affecting the results are simply too many, including largely unpredictable ones, such as personal display settings. Admittedly one should not think too much about this, but when a photo is close to the critical boundary one should struggle to find the better balance between what she would like the photo to be and the risk of looking overdone. Since this photo is important to me, I would be grateful for comments about this matter, to help me realise if I have to downtone it a bit more :-)
Thank you very much in advance!
Yesterday we where hit with another snowstorm.....it was a white out for most part of the day.........There was a section of the highway closed for at least 5 hours as there were over 100 cars involved in accidents!!!......More snow is in our forecast..
Luckily there were no fatalities!
boblyp----as you requested!!
Have an AWEsome day, and thanks so very much in advance for your visits!!!
The Hydrological cycle, like I've studied when I was a kid, is a never-ending process. When you actually see all the moving parts of this process, you'll realize it ever more. None of the water body is stationary. The whole process is always in motion. It's probably what infinity is.

Already a dedication for my grandfather, since my mother is at my grandfather as we speak since it is just going very bad. I think that he is going to The Neverending Fields tonight;). He is 93 years old, what more could you wish for!

in der nächsten zeit steht die "klimperkiste" an und ich hab mir die tage viele gedanken darüber gemacht in welche richtung das cover gehen könnte.
das war mal so eine schnelle, spontane idee.
es macht so wahnsinnig viel spaß mit jemandem zusammen zu arbeiten, neue ansichten zu bekommen um selber auch zu wachsen.
ich freu mich auf das was kommt. :)
the title refers to the feeling I get when I ask her to stand still for a photo.
