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.
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.

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 ;-)

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)

The massif de l'esterel are very nice uplands in a large part made of red porphyr, a vulcanic rock. It used to produce dyes out of it. And it was and is a very popular building material.

A night spent off trial in Badlands National Park very much instilled the thought of being transported to some distant alien world. Thankfully one with an atmosphere compatible with this organism.
Thank you for viewing.

Smile on Saturday#Full of Memories
St. John's wort ready for drying
My strongest memories are of my grandmother. In addition to bearing her name, I also have many of her qualities and her loves. From her I learned to love flowers and birds, to cook and make wonderful sweets. She taught me how to dry herbs. This is my favorite picture because whenever I look at it I can even feel the atmosphere and smell of that herb as she prepares it for drying. The light in the picture is exactly what I remember, a constant play of light and darkness, because her house was surrounded by large trees, so the sun was breaking through the branches. As a background, I used the door from her kitchen cupboard and the plate from her garden table. Yes, I loved her very much and I miss her very much but I am happy that she knew I loved her.
HSoS!
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today we have a pink or purple day at Color My World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is : made of leather.
Yesterday, I had truly a hard time with Flickr. I was unable to publish my picture until the late morning but then everything was super slow …. I hope it will not happen today !!! Or ever again ! It is super frustrating if you are a Flicker addict such as myself…
So my todays’s picture is an old leather baseball ball and a pink pencil. Of course, as you may all suspect by now, I have absolutely no idea how , when or with how many people play baseball. My only knowledge of baseball is this ball (which I found in a park near my house, and since I’m a hoarder I had it in my home ever since…) made of leather, a bat (which I dont have …yet ;-)) and some very handsome men running in spandex-lycra clothing…. I also know that the ball has to be placed on some kind of « stick » which is represented here by my pencil….
I hope my leather ball will be accepted for this challenge. I wish you all an amazing day and see you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Knowing a piece of this wonderful country...its historical heritage, its culture, cuisine and mix of many people...I thank Portugal for the reception (December 2019).
I loaded memory cards with about 700 photos, but I will try during this period to download the ones that I liked the most, I hope you enjoy them.

* I'm grateful for visit, favs and comments of my photo.
The Tower of the Winds or the Horologion of Andronikos Kyrrhestes is an octagonal Pentelic marble clocktower in the Roman Agora in Athens that functioned as a horologion or "timepiece". It is considered the world's first meteorological station. Unofficially, the monument is also called Aerides (Greek: Αέρηδες), which means Winds.

Although Autumn is over, you will see more of it in the next days. I still have so much material left to post here... Hope you don't mind.
On top of the Látrabjarg cliff two puffins posed for me. These delightful comic book birds weren't afraid of nearby humans at all.

Anything goes for 2021 - Out of my comfort zone
I thought I would take a photo of the berries on the berberis bush in my garden. A nice quick simple photo...but then I decided to add a few textures, finishing with a red petal with raindrops on it. So my simple photo ended up taking a lot longer than I had planned. I'm not sure it was worth the effort, I probably should have stayed in my comfort zone and set up a still life!
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is « full of memories ».
When I was about 9 years old, we moved from Poland to Algeria. My Dad was working there. As a little girl I missed my grandmother very, very much. Back then there was no internet and even telephone wasn’t a very efficient way of keeping contact between Poland and Algeria. So , for several weeks I was saving my lunch money to buy a gift for my grandmother. I got her this tiny necklace. I went to this flea market and I bargained with the seller until we both reach an acceptable price. And the necklace was mine.It is called « hamsa » (it means five) and it is a very, very popular amulet in Middle East. Hamsa is supposed to bring you good fortune and protect the bearer from the « evil eye ». It was a perfect gift for my grandmother, so far away from me… This amulet was supposed to protect her from anything bad. And it did !! My grandmother was always wearing this necklace. For years. The last time I saw her, she had her necklace with her. She told me that the necklace was reminding her of me and our family so far away but so close in her heart…. The necklace traveled with her, through Europe, Russia and almost to Japan. When she died, peacefully in her sleep wearing her necklace near her heart, she was at peace. At one point, I got my necklace back. It went from Algeria to Poland, from Poland all around the glob and then back to Montreal, Canada. Since then, I always keep it with me… I truly believe it will protect me from anything bad…and each time I touch it, it brings an amazing amount of very good memories.
And if you want to know more about « hamsa », here is the link : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsa
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day and see you later!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
