Amazing day of light on the Argentario, Tuscany, Italy.
From 5 am to 18.30 pm, sunrise on the lagoon, reflections on the harbor sunset from Monte Argentario on the island of Giglio.
These three images are the synthesize it in the day.
A mix of 6 Wombo images, all done with Pixelmator Pro and then a bit of a painterly look created with Impresso Pro.
Prompts:Thanksgiving wreath, cornucopia, Autumn leaves
Style: The City
Input: on normal, the image below. I used this textured chipmunk photo for the color palette. That way, all the results were easier to blend together.
Starting another week! HSS!

Whilst out shooting the comet in the Shropshire Hills I turned around to see an opportunity to climb up onto the rocks and stand right in the middle of the Milky Way. 30secs foreground and 240sec tracked sky.

Funny twist to the Test of Courage summer activity. The challenge is to shave the leg of Karakasa, the umbrella demon (´ᗜ｀)ゞ
As old trees bend and decay, new ones burst into colour in the swampy parts of Princess Point. I could have used snow shoes here. I framed up this shot over the course of a minute, and didn't realise I had sunk into the thick mud over my shoes in that time.
Each day is a new creation.
Dawn is the most exhilarating time to be taking photographs. Perhaps it's just perception, but everything happens so quickly. Much more so it seems than with sunsets which seem to linger in the summer sky.
This photograph almost didn't happen. The night before at the little historic town of Swansea on Tasmania's east coast it was a literal white out. A marine layer had rolled in during the afternoon with a cloud cover down to several hundred metres. Sunset was out. So I set the alarm to be up as early as possible and first indications were not good.
A little time after I took the blue shot there appeared a little break in the cloud cover. In an instant the light broke through in one majestic burst (the sun was still below the horizon). If you look closely you'll see Venus peering through at us as well. The lights of Coles Bay and the outline of the Freycinet Peninsula can also be seen. And just as quickly it seemed to disappear as the hole in the clouds closed again.
Perhaps the creation of the earth looked something like this. Strangely, the music I would set to this creation scene is Mozart's "Requiem in D" (K626). I love the music, but there is also something uniquely linked in the concepts of death and rebirth. One day dies only to be born anew at the dawn of New Light.
The origins of baklava has Greeks and Turks at each other's throats.
It is said that ancient Greek seamen and merchants traveling to Mesopotamia discovered the delights of baklava, brought the recipe back to Greece and modified it slightly.
Whatever the historical controversies, the fact remains that baklava is a delicious traditional dessert made of layers of crispy golden phyllo, filled with chopped nuts and garnished with lemon scented syrup or honey… Just heaven!
Located in the courtyard of temple of Christ the Savior, can see a beautiful view.
The complex of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior - a unique architectural construction. Christ the Savior Cathedral - upper temple; Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord - lower temple; Patriarchal Museum of religious art; Viewing platforms at a height of 40 m; Refectory; Several halls and choirs.
and unfortunate truth: for the temple allocated only 3697.27 square meters (7% of the total area). the rest of the lion part of the territory leased to the companies ... that are not associated with religion.
A ray of light breaking through a cloud filled blue sky highlights a slice of fall colors that explode in a reflection on a mirror-like surface of a small lake in Vermont.
My bird is obsessed with his feathers as I can imagine any birds is. Here you can see a close up image of the dense feather coating he has in iridescent colors.
Happy MM!
When opened in 1890, the Forth Rail Bridge was the longest Cantilever bridge in the world.
Officially listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's span has only been succeeded by the Quebec Bridge in Canada, and to this day remains the second longest.
It's incredible to think that the bridge was constructed before the age of powered flight.

Thank you all for your visits, comments and favourites.
Windows of Opportunity is a macro photograph of a Ficus leaf. This version blended the black and white version with the original, which was photographed on a light box.. A filter was added at 15 percent opacity to warm the leaf up a little bit. I will be off for two weeks starting tomorrow! Have a creative fortnight!

Yes, I do remember that day, the last holiday with French friends before Covid time, a picnic with them in a meadow of the Roussillon.
There I found this lovely wild succulent plant, I took a little branch of this for my balcony.
And now this is the first blooming at home!
I don't know its name, I add a picture in the comments for helping the ID.
Smile on Saturday with Memories ;-)

Unfortunately COVID-19 has put a halt to my travel plans for this year. As a new project, I am going to post a set of images I photographed when times were better, newly converted to
b&w. Hope you like them. Here is the first: the Cliffs of Mohr.
9:52 Metal – Cold, hard steel. Shiny aluminum, or even rusted and broken down.
...well, it's metal, but none of the above...just a roll of chicken wire.
Once again, I'm behind and will do my best to catch up when I can.
From the top, an impressive plateau, it is possible to contemplate the entire city of Rio and its surroundings – it is possible to see the Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer, the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, São Conrado and Barra da Tijuca, and even the mountains of Serra of the Organs. It's an unforgettable sight!
PS. Me being photographed by one of my guides, Marcelo Kastrup (Adrena Rio).

Photograph, of one of the beautiful typical landscapes of Lanzarote and its villages, with the typical houses painted in white, so that the summer is cooler.

I had to decide what I was going to do, and what I was going to be.
I was standing there, waiting for someone to do something , till I realized the person I was waiting for was myself.

#4 in my series of emotive self portraits.
If you'd like to know more about them, I have put my first SP in the series with a description in my first comment.
Another shot of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial,an American Civil War memorial,at Grand Army Plaza.Here you can see the quadriga (four horse chariot) on top of the monument a little clearer.It was designed by John Hemingway Duncan in 1889-92.The memorial is dedicated to the "Defenders of the Union" (army).General William Tecumseh Sherman attended the cornerstone ceremony and former president of the U.S. Grover Cleveland attended the installment ceremony.

Qumran (Hebrew: קומראן; Arabic: خربة قمران Khirbet Qumran) is an archaeological site in the West Bank managed by Israel's Qumran National Park.[1] It is located on a dry plateau about 1.5 km (1 mi) from the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, near the Israeli settlement and kibbutz of Kalya. The Hellenistic period settlement was constructed during the reign of John Hyrcanus, 134-104 BCE or somewhat later, and was occupied most of the time until it was destroyed by the Romans in 68 CE or shortly after. It is best known as the settlement nearest to the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden, caves in the sheer desert cliffs and beneath, in the marl terrace. The principal excavations at Qumran were conducted by Roland de Vaux in the 1950s, though several later unearthings at the site have since been carried out. (Wikipedia)

No cars, only bikes, tricycles and horses carriage for the tourists.
No pavement in the little streets.
Only 8 km of coastline, and so near of Rio.
This is the Island of Paquetá.
