“If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's.”
― Joseph Campbell
Since I need some winter images for a proper photo calendar i looked for something worth capturing during those days when we had at least a little bit of snow.
Actually the amount of snow we had wasn’t even enough to cover the grass on this hill, so I cloned out hundreds of grass blades, which was great fun.
Not.
If you are into counting, you are welcome to check my assertion based on the original image:

Another rendition from my Stonehenge visit. The dark look is more a reflection of my state of mind after the journey down... Mark you know where I'm coming from.
Taken on a recent business trip to Rome - this image of the Arch of Constantine with the Colosseum illuminated with the late evening sunshine is a personal favourite.
These ripples as seen from the stern of the ship add some life to the already picturesque landscape and the calm water, as the ship starts to make a turn.
This was taken during the cruise to Hubbard Glacier, Alaska from Vancouver, Canada.

This young capricorn in the Julian alp mountains of Slovenia is obviously surprised looking into the lens of a bridge camera, but it's not scared.
Taken at the Qingdao Cruise Terminal, Qingdao, China.
For this project, inspiration of the architectural form came from the “sail”, which is famous in Qingdao, The city of Sailing, as well as rows of pitched roof from Qingdao’s historical architecture. To further express the mechanical beauty, the steel structure is exposed on the exterior without curtain walls, so that the structural form becomes the most powerful language of the façade. The interior sprung roof reveals the main structure as possible as it can, so that passengers are still able to read the structural logic and mechanical beauty of the architecture.
Interior and light
The arrival and departure hall on the first floor provides checking-in and luggage services. After that, through vertical lifts and walkways, passengers will arrive on the second-floor Foyer and wait for departure. The customer service is also located on the second floor. Its skylights, through the combination of aluminum board and glass, have transformed the inclined surface of the roof into stepped ramp, which has not only solved the problem of floodwater containment, but also introduced soft light with the modular rhythm of light and shadow. Meanwhile, the public hall of the cruise terminal can also hold temporary exhibitions and so on public activities.
I keep on fallin' in
And out of love with you
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Loving you darling
Makes me so confused
Continuing this brief series of cool sights I saw on a single morning outing to Grasslands, the park at my doorstep. These two Moose with their calves were a surprise; I tend to see moose more often in fall and winter. And last year there was considerable noise and commotion as contractors built a new bridge across the Frenchman River - resulting in many wildlife species, including moose, steering clear of the area until things settled down.
But.. they're ba-ack!
I'm so happy. They add an extra touch of wildness to the prairie landscape. Twenty-four years ago, when I first spent some extended time hanging out in this place, moose were a rare sighting. In the interim, they have arrived to occupy the valley, and other prairie locations, too; biologists are not sure why.
My theory? They find ample food and shelter here, where there are no natural predators, no hunting, and an abundance of peace and quiet. Essentially these are the same reasons I moved here full time in 2011. I'd like to think I'm smarter than the average moose. But maybe I'm not.
More to come...

I've already posted a couple of post-processed images of this staircase in Berlin, so thought i'd post one in its natural colour (and with a bit of an oblique twist to it).
A sunny afternoon with the typical Dutch white clouds against a blue sky on the dike of the island Marken. The group houses with their red roofs and green painted wooden walls, is called the Rozewerf. Marken, 2018.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
Rozewerf is een buurtschap in de gemeente Waterland, in de Nederlandse provincie Noord-Holland.Het is één van de buurtschappen die het leef- en- woongemeenschap van het voormalig eiland Marken vormen. Rozewerf is gelegen net ten zuiden van Grotewerf. Andere spelling voor de buurtschap is Roze Werf en oudere spellingen zijn Rozenwerf en Rozen Werf.
Rozewerf is van oorsprong een terp, dat een werf wordt genoemd. Deze terp is niet vernoemd naar de kleur maar meer dan waarschijnlijk naar de persoon of familie Roos of Rozen, die de eigenaar of aanlegger is geweest van de werf. Net als de andere ten noorden van Rozewerf gelegen werven stammen de meeste huizen uit de 18e en 19e eeuw. In de loop van de tijd zijn deze wel flink verbouwd. Rozewerf kent net als Grotewerf nog het meest oorspronkelijke uiterlijk van deze oude bewoning waardoor het nog de karakteristieke en monumentale panden heeft. Rozewerf is een kleine buurtschap en de huizen staat ook erg dicht op elkaar, er is smalle doorgang door de buurtschap. Rozewerf ligt echt maar net aan de dijk die het beschermt van het water, ooit de Zuiderzee thans het Markermeer. Rozewerf lag van oorsprong niet aan het water maar in de loop der tijd is een deel van het eiland verzwolgen door de zee.

All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina (Sicily);
I made photos related to "street photography";
I photographed people who, for the most part, I had never met before, I thank them for their sympathy and availability;
I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
I met a lady no longer young, who told me that, when she was seven years old, she met Salvatore Giuliano, the bandit (!) on Mount Ziretto (a mountain that is located above Taormina, in the territory of Castelmola), in telling she looked up and pointed at him, it seemed she was seeing him at that precise moment ....! (ah! if only I had had a special camera to capture the images that at that moment were resurfacing in the mind of that very nice lady ....!), she described it and ... she saw it (!): if she remembers it tall, handsome man, boots that reached mid-leg, rifle over his shoulder ....! and then the lady added: of course, I didn't know who that man was, they told me this afterwards ....! I photographed what I believe was a small advertising shoot, thanks to the availability of the photographer and the models (thank you for giving me some of their precious time ..!).
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.
---------------------------------------------------------
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina (Sicilia);
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho fotografato persone che, per la maggior parte, non avevo mai incontrato prima, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità;
ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ... ho incontrato una signora non più giovane, che mi ha raccontato che, quando aveva l'età di sette anni, incontrò il bandito Salvatore Giuliano (!) sul monte Ziretto (un monte che si trova sopra Taormina, nel territorio di Castelmola), nel raccontare lei guardava in alto e lo indicava, sembrava lo stesse vedendo in quel preciso momento....! (ah! se solo io avessi avuto una macchina fotografica speciale per catturare le immagini che in quel momento andavano riaffiorando nella mente di quella simpaticissima signora....!), lo descriveva e...lo vedeva (!): se lo ricorda alto, un bell'uomo, gli stivali che arrivavano a metà gamba, il fucile in spalla....! e poi la signora aggiunse: certo, io non sapevo chi fosse quell'uomo, questo me lo hanno detto dopo....! Ho fotografato quello che credo fosse un piccolo shooting pubblicitario, grazie alla disponibilità della fotografa e delle modelle (le ringrazio per avermi concesso un pò del loro prezioso tempo..!).
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

Since my (re-)discovering of ICM (intentional camera movement) I like to experiment with different circumstances. In this case I saw the sunlight in this forest licking at the straight trunks. Using a telephoto lens I was able to compress the scene. Using this technique of panning the camera up-down while exposing for a 1/4 of a second I create enough movement for this arty effect. The colours of the green trunks and the orange foliage on the ground contrast beautifully with each other. All 'n all a creative approach for a forest that already is beautiful.
Enjoy!

"Get Down on It" Week Continues! A 7-day celebration of looking down our noses at our subjects, much like King Henry VIII did.
Painting: Chicago was thunderstorming all day yesterday, so I spent the morning in the corner of my studio where I go to paint, but mostly I watched the rain pelt the windows. Ahhhhhhh. Well, you know what happened next: a click of the shutter...then a nap. :)
My talented friend Kim also shot paint brushes yesterday, because great creative minds think alike. :)

The Alcázar of Segovia (literally, "Segovia Fortress") is a medieval alcázar located in the city of Segovia (Castile and León, Spain), a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Rising out on a rocky crag above the confluence of two rivers near the Guadarrama mountains, it is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape – like the bow of a ship. The Alcázar was originally built as a fortress but has served as a royal palace, a state prison, a Royal Artillery College and a military academy since then. It is currently used as a museum and a military archives building. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alc%C3%A1zar_of_Segovia
One of the many things I love about Hong Kong is how near the hiking trails are - it is usually enough to take the metro and go hiking. Peaks are not particularly high, the one here called Ma On Shan is 702m, but are often steep and climbs start basically at the sea level, so it's fun. This photo is taken from the top of The Hunch Backs - to get there you have to climb a very narrow and steep (660m altitude difference over 2km of hike) trail which is terrific.

Taken from the shoreline of Cavite City, Philippines, my hometown. Quite lucky haze was at its minimum with good contrast provided by mother nature! Though the Shrine of Valour Cross was quite small, my way of having it a keeper. Thank you for viewing.
Iceland was fantastic! With practically no visible signs of the recent volcano eruption, the country is as beautiful as ever. We (Michel Geven and I) had the best of times. I think he must be getting on a bit because this time, he didn't even knock my room door down at 4AM èvery night! :-)
The 9 day trip led us from Reykjavik, via Vik, to the Jokulsarlon Glaciers; back North to Borgarnes; with the ferry to the West Fjords, with an unforeseen but very welcome night at the wonderful island of Flatey, due to missing the last ferry - I was súre I read somewhere that it would go at 8PM! :-) - west to Latrabjarg to the Puffin cliffs, and back again to Reykjavik.
Gained 2 kilos from the countless bags of M&M's, winegums and kokosböller :-) and nòt because of the regular evening dinners, which Michel manages to make us miss every time because of òne more shot of some Skua or another. Only on the Ferry I could corner him into eating something that had at least more than one vitamin in it :-)
But Michel, you're the best travel companion one could wish for on a photo-trip!! Already looking forward to next year!! :-)
Thanks to the valuable directions we got from one of Iceland's most skilled bird photographers, Sigurjón Einarsson we found this lupin field where two pairs of Short-Eared Owls had their hunting grounds. An incredibly beautiful sight! Unfortunately, in the limited time we had, they didn't come really close to our cameras, so this is quite a heavy crop, but seeing those magnificent hunters with their piercing eyes, flying completely silent over that vast sea of blue, was a sight I won't easily forget. Thanks so much, Sigurjón!
I promise to update the diary on my website with the Iceland trip asap!

The Guard of the 4.00pm to Sikar Junction looks thoughtful as the train negotiates the pointwork going out of Jaipur. The couple of European snappers active around the metre gauge lines possibly serve as a reminder that the route will be closing in a matter of months for gauge conversion work, and the quaint MG rolling stock, which makes an easy step down to the ground, will soon be gone.

The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum’s mission is to present, preserve, and protect the maritime history and culture of the North Carolina Outer Banks. Located in Hatteras, the museum is named in honor of the thousands of shipwrecks that rest in the waters off North Carolina’s coast and is dedicated to sharing our state’s coastal and shipwreck history.
And...it's worth the drive to visit!
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

The best way to view my photostream is through Flickriver with the following link: www.flickriver.com/photos/photojourney57/
... and, I haven't done any of it for ages... although, more recent than this photo. However, I was scrolling through old photos and deleting and trying to organize over 17,000 and saw this one... so decided to show what the table looks like when needle felting even the tiniest of bears.
This one became a sweet little girl that travelled to the U.K. to a blog buddy .. her photo will be the one beside this one...tomorrow, for Teddy Tuesday.
She has only "test eyes" .. to decide on which size beads will work....test eyes are little beads on pins to stick in and out easily .. then, the desired size of beads are stitched on.

The 19th day of our resistance is over. Historical war. Another difficult day, which is still approaching our victory. Approaching peace for Ukraine.
As before, the enemy is confused. They did not expect such resistance. They believed in their propaganda, which has been lying about us for decades.They still can't recollect themselves. But they have already begun to understand that they will not achieve anything by war.
Their soldiers know this. Their officers are aware of this. They flee the battlefield. They abandon equipment.
We take trophies and use them to protect Ukraine. Today, Russian troops are, in fact, one of the suppliers of equipment to our army. They could not imagine such a thing in a nightmare.
And I want to tell the Russian soldiers. Those who have already entered our land. And who are just about to be sent to fight against us.
Russian conscripts! Listen to me very carefully. Russian officers! You’ve already understood everything. You will not take anything from Ukraine. You will take lives. There are a lot of you. But your life will also be taken.
But why should you die? What for? I know that you want to survive. We hear your conversations in the intercepts, we hear what you really think about this senseless war, about this disgrace and about your state. Your conversations with each other. Your calls home to your family. We hear it all. We draw conclusions. We know who you are.
Therefore, I offer you a choice. On behalf of the Ukrainian people, I give you a chance. Chance to survive. If you surrender to our forces, we will treat you the way people are supposed to be treated. As people, decently. In a way you were not treated in your army. And in a way your army does not treat ours. Choose!
Our brave defenders continue to inflict devastating losses on Russian troops.
Soon the number of downed helicopters of Russia will reach hundreds of units. They have already lost 80 warplanes. Hundreds of tanks and thousands of other units of equipment.
In 19 days, the Russian army has lost more in Ukraine than in two bloody and years-long wars in Chechnya. For what?
I am grateful to those Russians who do not stop trying to convey the truth. To those who fight disinformation and tell the truth, real facts to their friends and loved ones. And personally to the woman who entered the studio of Channel One with a poster against the war. To those who are not afraid to protest. As long as your country has not completely closed itself off from the whole world, turning into a very large North Korea, you must fight. You must not lose your chance.
The European Union has approved the fourth package of sanctions against Russia. The fourth - and I'm sure not the last.
We are working with partners on new restrictions that will be applied against the Russian state. Everyone who is responsible for the war. Everyone who is responsible for the destruction of democracy. Everyone who is responsible for repression against people. Everyone will get an answer. The answer of the world. And this is just the beginning.
Responsibility for war crimes of the Russian military is inevitable. Responsibility for a deliberate humanitarian catastrophe in Ukrainian cities is inevitable. The whole world sees what is happening in Mariupol. Kharkiv. Chernihiv. Sumy. Okhtyrka. Hostomel. Irpin. In all our cities.
All our partners are informed of the crimes of the invaders against civilians and local self-government in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. In the temporarily occupied areas. There will be an answer for that. Necessarily. For the disrupted humanitarian corridors. Necessarily.
During the day of March 14, 3,806 Ukrainians were evacuated from the cities and towns of the Kyiv and Luhansk regions.
Our convoy with one hundred tons of what is most necessary for Mariupol is still kept in Berdyansk. For three days already. But we will try. We will do everything to ensure that Mariupol residents receive food, water and medicine.
I provided full information about the actions of the invaders on the Ukrainian land in conversations with friends and partners of our state. Every aggressive action of the invaders only pushes the world to new sanctions.
I spoke with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. With President of Poland Andrzej Duda. Prime Minister of Luxembourg Xavier Bettel. We have 100% mutual understanding.
The conversation with Prime Minister of Israel Bennett was also important. As part of a negotiation effort to end this war as soon as possible. With a fair peace.
Our delegation also worked on this in negotiations with the Russian party. Pretty good, as I was told. But let's see. They will continue tomorrow.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has agreed on a package of decisions to support our economy.
So that business works. So that people have jobs. Where security allows. Where people are ready for it.
First, we are starting tax reform. Instead of VAT and income tax we give a rate of 2 percent of turnover and simplified accounting. For small businesses - this is the first and second group of sole proprietors - we set a voluntary payment of a single tax. That is, if you can - pay. You can't - no questions asked.
The second is maximum business deregulation. We cancel all inspections for all businesses. So that everyone works normally. So that the cities come to life. So that life continues wherever there is no hostilities.
The only condition is that you ensure the normal operation of your business in the framework of Ukrainian law.
These are just the first two steps of our tax reform. To be continued.
And finally.
I have just signed a decree on awarding state awards of Ukraine to 234 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who showed personal courage and heroism in the fight for our land. For our independence. 59 of them posthumously.
May the memory of everyone who gave life for our state live forever!
Eternal gratitude to all our heroes!
Glory to Ukraine!
“My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.” Mel Brooks.
Powerscourt, with its towering 121 metres, is one of the highest waterfalls in Ireland. Located in the heart of the Wicklow mountains, just 40 minutes away from Dublin, its proximity to the capital makes it probably the most famous waterfall in the country. To try to enjoy it without many people, we decided to visit it in winter and as early in the morning as possible. However, when we arrived, there was already a line of vehicles waiting for the access gates to open, since the area where it is located is fenced.
Once near the waterfall, the strength of the sound of the water falling and hitting the rocks, allowed us to evade at times from the rest of the people. It will not be the most peaceful natural place in Ireland, but its spectacularity justifies paying the entrance fee to see it. In addition, you can always find peace by concentrating on the high flow of the water and its effervescent and beautiful melody.

“Mi mente es un torrente embravecido, inundado con riachuelos de pensamientos que caen en cascada en una catarata de alternativas creativas”. Mel Brooks.
Powerscourt, con sus imponentes 121 metros, es una de las cascadas más altas de Irlanda. Situada en el corazón de las montañas de Wicklow, a tan solo 40 minutos de Dublín, su cercanía a la capital la convierte probablemente en la catarata más famosa del país. Para intentar disfrutarla sin demasiada gente, decidimos visitarla en invierno y a primera hora de la mañana. No obstante, cuando llegamos había ya una fila de vehículos esperando a que abrieran las puertas de acceso, ya que la zona donde se encuentra está vallada.
Una vez cerca de la cascada, la fuerza del sonido del agua cayendo y golpeando las rocas, permitía evadirse por momentos del resto de gente. No será el lugar natural más tranquilo de Irlanda, pero su espectacularidad justifica pagar la entrada para verla. Además siempre se puede encontrar paz concentrándose en el alto fluir del agua y en su bella melodía efervescente.
