This is the submerged dam Garreg Ddu and Foel Tower at Elan Valley in Wales. This was shot from the dam itself combining the Lee Big Stopper with a one minute exposure to get the soft streaky sky. Sadly no reflections on this day, as weather was very breezy so have opted for a square crop which I think works rather well.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Even the wolf is fearful ... this is the first of 17 shots taken a year ago. Here he hadn't seen me yet.
A gust of wind caresses his fur, bringing him the sound of the camera and perhaps my scent.
Seeing him with his tail between his legs and ears down made me "feel" his fear his thoughts, humanizing him. Then he continued on his journey, turning occasionally to look at me and giving me one last look with straight ears and normal tail. When I look at his photos, I wonder where his journey has led him or if it has "ended."
Anche il lupo ha paura ... questo è il primo dei 17 scatti fatti un anno fa. Qui non mi aveva ancora visto.
Un raffica di vento gli accarezza il pelo, portandogli il rumore della macchina fotografica e forse il mio odore.
Vederlo con la coda tra le gambe e orecchie basse, mi ha fatto "sentire" la sua paura i suoi pensieri, umanizzandolo. Poi ha proseguito il suo viaggio girandosi ogni tanto per guardarmi e regalandomi un ultimo sguardo con orecchie dritte e coda normale. Quando riguardo le sue foto, mi domando dove il suo viaggio lo abbia condotto o se sia "terminato".

A little about La Città Bianca
Ostuni is known worldwide as the White City (La Città Bianca).
Here, the residents of the old town receive white paint from the municipality every year to whitewash their houses.
One type of Agave plant grows into a neighboring blue agave to create a flash of yellow in a seal of teal.
On Feb. 16, 1976, the Denver & Rio Grande Western assigned a six axle locomotive to work train No. 668, the Tintic Local out of Provo, Utah. Yard trackage in United State's Steel's limestone quarry at Keigley on Tintic Branch was poorly maintained. Rio Grande SD7 5300 had a tough time that day, and nearly derailed numerous times. The experiment was never repeated.
My keychain.
One and All is the motto that represents unity and inclusiveness and reflects the spirit of Cornish people. The fifteen balls (bezants/coins) on the shield is the coat of arms of the Duke of Cornwall. The bird is a chough and is a small, glossy black crow with a long, curved red bill and a symbol of Cornwall. The crown represents the Duchy of Cornwall. The miner and fisherman represent the trades of what once brought Cornwall much wealth.
This keychain holds my keys and reminds me of my Cornish roots day after day.
HMM!
Macro Mondays: Keychain
The exact same location and very slightly different composition as a previous image, this time a few hours later in the day. The first one was taken just before dawn, this one at mid morning.
It goes to show just how transformative light is when it comes to landscape photography.
The Beijing Diary
Street Performer in Temple of Heaven
In my humble opinion, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing is the least "must-see" among Beijing's must-see tourist destinations. Aside from the actual Temple of Heaven, the rest of the temples in this vast place are ordinary by Beijing's temple standards.
But what sets this place apart is the many street performers you will see there. It's a collection of different performers, from musicians, to dancers, to martial artists and some showcasing traditional chinese sports.
Like this charming old chinese playing his traditional musical instrument. After playing, he asked for a dollar from a foreigner video filming him.
"One dollar..."
The caucasian man smiled and walked away.
