Venice, Italy
One of my themes for Venice was to capture the little details and unusual images that might get overlooked when visiting this architectural gem of a location. However, that plan went straight out of the window (excuse the pun) as soon as we arrived on the train. With limited time, especially sunrise and sunset locations the obvious cliché shots took precedence as my Venice stream shows. But, hopefully the odd shot like this will show my intentions... I'm sure I can find one or two more if I look hard enough.
I hate making panoramas with my 13" laptop piece of shit! Can´t wait for faster computer.. Regardless, here it is! :D Same place as the previous picture was taken; Kopparnnäs. Polarization filer used in 14 different photos @ 15mm.

Just messing around with parts to build some mini-bots... or drones... or whatever the kids are calling 'em these days...
By contemplating the created order, and by contemplating and ordering the moral structure of one’s own life, one would be led to the pure theoria of the fountainhead of all existence, ho on, ‘the existing one’, ‘He Who is’, this being the name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush. Historical revelation in this light becomes God’s method of spelling out truth in the terms of the world: an arrangement of clues which, rightly seen, leads to illumination. However, this is not really comparable to the enlightenment of the gnostic: there is no ‘technology’ here, no suggestion of control over the laws of the Spirit. The end is simply contemplation, the enjoying of God for his sake alone; and Philo shares the biblical repugnance for any suggestion that God can be brought into human control. God can never be contained in human concepts. Moses ascends into a cloud and darkness beyond the scope of intellect, where God offers himself directly to the vision, without the intervention of any form or idea. Here, then, the pilgrimage of the understanding is seen not (as for the gnostic) in terms of acquisition but in terms of stripping away, the stripping of multiple and diffuse kinds of apprehension to the simplicity of a single-hearted vision –in Platonic terms, the return from the Many to the primal One.

Pulsatilla vulgaris (Gewöhnliche Küchenschelle) Leopoldsberg, Vienna, Austria, in their natural habitat (pubescent oak). Thieving hikers already pinched one of the pasque flowers. Just too sad.
Muir Woods, Ca.--- A strong "Pull" from nature that is over-powering and humbling. What a place here on Earth.
Amtrak 145 ended up on the Springfield Shuttles a couple weeks ago, which caused a bit of a stir in the local railfan community.
Here, she leads 473 out of Springfield, approaching the Basketball Hall Of Fame. My thanks to whomever cut the hole in the wire screen that lines the overpass.
Greystones Camera Club's macro workshop was based around 'food' & before we eat the props some interesting shots were produced - this is one of my favs!

Earlier in the year, up until about 2 weeks ago I saw a LOT of these White-throated Sparrows around, this is the only one that I saw on this particular day though. I guess they have all gone up North again, I'll miss them, they are fun little birds to watch.
I love the dark, moody, more colorful shots like this, I know that a lot don't, but the light in these types is what I look for, something that draws my attention to the main thing, which in this shot, is the eyes.
(The bad thing is, uploading pictures with gradient backgrounds look pretty bad on Flickr, I go through a lot to prevent that, but...)
