When on the road, we often stop for lunch at a golf course restaurant that is open to the public, one of us being a golfer (that wouldn't be me).......it has worked pretty well in that we find a nice place in a setting that we like. This day we ended up at Sea Oaks Country Club in Little Egg Harbor Township and had tasty sandwiches and salads....and maybe a frosty Corona with extra lime......
While crossing Tasmania by public bus I spotted several lonesome places where people used to live. It seemed to me quite interesting to do this shots into the outside including the mirroring of the busses windows. To be inside looking out - like I felt during the transit through this wonderful and amazing piece of land with this very first look on it.

I'm going to be away in Melbourne until next Wednesday. It is my ill father's 87th birthday and I do not want to miss it. I won't be posting during this time, but will occasionally check in to the page for any messages.
Stay strong and healthy.
Tried out JPEG shooting with a bit of editorial licence (Fujifilm's raw converter, Luminar, and macOS High Sierra photo editor).
Three Union Pacific SD70Ms pull a hefty intermodal bound for Chicago out of the sag between Creston and Malta in 2015.
Nowadays, UP's fleet of SD70Ms can mostly be found languishing in storage lines across the UP network.
Clinging on to the last of their summer foliage these two characters look a little out of place against their coniferous backdrop.
The Canon EF70-200mm F/2.8L IS II USM is a fast lens, most used for wedding photography. Although it can't shoot like a macro lens; but I like to use it for close-up nature photos. You can capture a bit of 'wildlife' along with the beautiful blooms. Its 8-blade circular aperture delivers foreground/background blur quality that is renowned.
Here are some of my tips:
- Due to the weight of this lens and its focal length, the camera shake could reduce sharpness. Steady hand and holding your breath while shooting as I don't use tripod.
- Control depth of field as narrow as possible by setting the lens aperture to maximum, i.e. f/2.8.
- Position the subject closer or increase the distance between the subject and the background.
- Shooting in soft and warm light. Backlighting can really bring subjects with fine details to life and intensify the foreground/background bokeh.
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
And moving in
That's what we do
Sometimes we only do it in our heads
Sometimes we are stuck
Can't move
Can't take the wretched decision
And sometimes we get to move our butt
It's painful
Lots of feelings
It's never an easy decision to take
But rest in that it's the correct decision
It always is
As long as you have felt it deep in your body that things are bad
It's so important to be open to receive the messages our mind is telling us
We often don't want to listen
But, when this voice is telling, well you better listen
It's your soul talking
Your intuition
If you don't listen it will only get worse
For you and for others
So is this the old house
Or is it the new house
It's my party house, actually
I party hard, you might think - hehe
I can share it with you, we can party hard together
Or take it easy, we are in float - let's see what's unfold
As you see
I don't need luxury
Just give me roof and some walls
The cracks are real, I have lived too you know
And love
Of course
Plenty of love
That is always the recipe for a good life even tho it will be bumps
If love is the foundation you can actually work through everything
That is my true belief
I salute you!
Welcome, the coffee is ready

Thank you for all the favours, lovely comments, group invites and awards they are truly appreciated. ♥
I went out early at about 0330 Hrs. to get some star shots.
My intention was shoot directly westward to get star trails leading in 3 different directions. I could not get around to my left far enough as I was right up against the fence line for this lone tree on the hill.
It all sounded good in theory looking at the map but the end result was not as planned..
This is 350 shots each 6 seconds at 112mm, 1600 ISO, f/4.0 and an interval of 10 seconds between each shot.
The tree is 200metres away.
A wider angle would have been better but the tree would become lost in the scene.
I will have to find a better suited tree tree.
I am glad to see the monarch butterflies out in numbers this year. Something is going right in all of this chaos.
