solitary road along Snaefellsnes peninsula in wintery Iceland. This journey is unforgettable, especially in winter. We did it twice, once in summer and once in winter and I found the winter journey even more impressive along this mountain range that forms the backbone of the long-stretched Snaefellsnes peninsula culminating in Snaefellsjokull volcano at the tip of it.
While my computer is out being fixed I have been exploring Colorado. This is from early one morning on Kebler Pass in the San Juan Mountains.

I do a lot of architecture photos because architecture interesting and I not very creative so it's easy..;) I don't find animal or people pictures very interesting.
Anyway, this is another business in Dripping Springs, Texas.
After working at a rental shop in East Texas while in college, Buddy recognized a need in his hometown of Dripping Springs. Started from scratch and supported by word of mouth, Dripping Springs Rental Center has been providing fine rental equipment to the hill country for almost 14 years.

I'm wanting to put together a new website and needed images of people. My gorgeous neighbors agreed to help me with my website. Crystal, in the red shirt, is going to help me design the website. Her partner, Lindsay, is giving moral us support..:)
Nothing real special about this shot. I just like the way it's framed. Here's some history for those who follow history..:)
Arriving in Texas in the mid 1840s, German farmers became the first settlers of what is now known as Gruene, Texas. Ernst Gruene, a German immigrant, and his bride Antoinette, had reached the newly established city of New Braunfels in 1845, but acreage was scarce. Thus, Ernst and his two sons purchased land just down river, and Ernst built the first home in Gruene in early fachwerk style. His second son, Henry D. Gruene, built his home (now Gruene Mansion Inn) and planted his surrounding land with cotton. Having become the number one cash crop, the cotton business soon brought 20 to 30 families to Henry D.'s lands.
Lake Wakatipu is an inland lake in the South Island of New Zealand. It is in the southwest corner of the Otago Region, near its boundary with Southland. Lake Wakatipu comes from the original Māori word Whakatipu wai-māori.
Thanks for taking the time to make a comment, I really appreciate it and will always try to reciprocate with a visit back to your stream.

I ran across this lone Albizia Tree on some millionaires ranch. It seems like the best, most unique places to shoot are privately owned. Later in the week during my tour I learned that guy owns 75 acres of the most spectacular land on the island. The planets being sold to the highest bidder and all the rest of us are left out in the cold, well not this time!!! I jumped the fence and ran out to a good spot and laid down in the grass and waited. After a few minutes I had "stolen" my comp and then made like the wind. :)
Actually, when I first saw this tree there was a white horse under it with some beams of light breaking through the clouds, it was an absolutely magical scene. No joke!!! By the time I got into position it had changed drastically. I tried to find a composition that isolated the tree outside the fence but was unable to come up with anything definitive. to make it even more interesting, there where men on horseback patrolling the perimeter passing by about every 10 mins. So I knew I had a short window of opportunity to grab and run. I felt so exhilarated after returning to the car, like a thief, no, more like a "photo ninja" Whaaaaaaaa!!! LOL. :)
For some reason I have started seeing my compositions in a square format. I'm not sure what has triggered this impulse in me, but I'm starting to warmup to the square format. and again my subject is centered in the frame, shame on me. Hehe :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend everyone :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
I had to get out on the water for this shot, so it's not as sharp as I like them. I'm still ready for another trip. My daughter keeps saying she wants to go with me. I'm just waiting for her to say lets go..;)
Happy Fence Friday!!
HFF!!
More of the series from the town of Gruene. I didn't go in this place, but after reading about them on the Internet, I wish I had. It sounds like Thursday night is the best time to go because they give out free samples of food and wine with live music.

It's hard to find the right image to slide, but I think this one works pretty good. Austin has this great little lake in the middle of town and on a pretty weekend, there are hundreds of people on it canoeing and paddle boarding , OK, maybe not that many..;) But a lot, nonetheless...:)
Going to a festival in Dripping Springs Sunday. Hope it isn't too hot
I'm still on the Gurene, Texas series. This is the Gristmill restaurant entertainment area. The restaurant first opened in the early 1900's and severed the local farmers and laborer until it burned to the ground in 1922. The new restaurant opened in 1977 using the remains of the old restaurant's three story brick boiler room. They did a super job on the place. It's one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been in.
It's starting to look a lot like Christmas..:)) Christmas light shows are everywhere this time of year.
The cold weather has hit this place. We don't get show, just the cold and windy at times.
Village Panorama in Shanghai's Nanhui District (上海市南汇区). Stitched from 4 pictures. February 2004. View in XXL.
The area in this particular picture is now industrially developed, a car plant of SAIC is in that place - picture has historical value...
So, what would we see, standing here in 2024? Read below:
We are standing right outside the SAIC plant fence, we'd see lots of "MG" branded cars, SAIC produces these "British" cars here for the global market. Right in front of the viewer, beyond the plant fence, is the parking lot for new produced cars, it is roofed and the roofs are covered with solar panels.
To the left, about where these houses are (beyond that road), are the press shop and the body shop. Right of that, a bit more towards the center, but hidden behind the aforementioned buildings, are the paint shop and final assembly.
If one turns around 180° one would see a huge gravel area covered with oversized car transporter trucks.

In the distance, the Strasbourg Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, or Cathédrale de Strasbourg, German: Liebfrauenmünster zu Straßburg or Straßburger Münster), also known as Strasbourg Minster, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Strasbourg, Alsace, France. Although considerable parts of it are still in Romanesque architecture, it is widely considered to be among the finest examples of high, or late, Gothic architecture.
Shot taken from Pont Couverts looking east. One of my favorite places to take night shots. :-)
Very colourful season in Vancouver. You can see the different layers in this photo. 春天的不同顏色，給溫哥華增添了春色....
The first rays of warm sunlight hit the ground, lightening up the spider webs.
This photo was taken at the same place as my image "Where elves dance" a year earlier. However this morning the conditions were a bit different from last time; more sunlight and less mist.
I just love this place, it's a small nature reserve a short drive from where I live. I have been there several times and I have never met a person there. It such a quite and peaceful place!
Thank you for your visits, comments and faves!
I took the photo a long time ago while we were staying in Bieszczady mountains. It was one of the last mornings. The night before there was a storm and so the morning was misty. I loved the atmosphere outside so I grabbed my camera and took some photos. The result is here. I hope you'll like it.
"I’ll be flicking stones at your window
I’ll be waiting outside 'til you’re ready to go
Won’t you come down? Come away with me
Just think of all the places we could be ..."
I took this back in August of last year. This was the second time I visited this amazing location in my life... It only took me 5 years to head back to it haha.
Kinney Lake is nestled approximately 6 Kms in on the Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park. For those who do not know, Mount Robson is the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies. You do hike in the behemoths shadow pretty much the entire time.
I hope it doesn't take me another 5 years to go back. I spent close to two hours just sitting by the lake snapping pictures haha.

HFF!
I drove over to Wimberley for lunch today and got some great shots along the way. Here's what the chamber of commerce has to say about the place and it's true..;)
Wimberley is about 30 miles southwest of Austin. Wimberley Valley lies in the gorgeous Texas Hill Country with flowing rivers and streams and vast horizons. It has a unspoiled beauty, an old West cache and an intoxicating creative atmosphere. It's a great place to unwind, shop and enjoy.
