I lugged all my camera gear into the mountains this weekend with the express purpose of photographing wood turtles underwater and i'm happy with the result.
Marismas del Odiel es un enclave natural privilegiado donde se encuentran el mar, la tierra y el cielo, formando paisajes de gran belleza, que sorprenden y fascinan a quien se acerca a visitarlas. Constituyen la zona más importante de marismas mareales de España, lo que unido a su excelente grado de conservación, ha llevado al Parlamento de Andalucía a declararlas Paraje Natural de interés Nacional, y a la UNESCO Reserva de la Biosfera. Este auténtico santuario ornitológico, es un punto fundamental en los pasos migratorios, por lo que aquí puede encontrarse una enorme cantidad y variedad de aves entre las que destacan la espátula, calamón, águila pescadora, focha moruna, garza imperial, abejaruco, cernícalo, morito y por supuesto… flamencos
Odiel Marshes is a privileged enclave where are the sea, land and sky, forming beautiful landscapes, which surprise and fascinate who is about to visit them. They constitute the most important area of tidal marshes in Spain, which together with its excellent state of preservation, has led the Andalusian Parliament to declare Natural Area of National Interest and the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This authentic bird sanctuary, is a pivotal point in the migratory, so here you can find a huge amount and variety of birds among which the spatula, swan, osprey, crested coot, herons, bee-eater, kestrel, morito and of course ... flamingo
At the last minute, my friends Paul, Mike, Miguel, and I raced to the inner valley of California to escape the haze that was fast accumulating. We decided to settle in at this decommissioned nuclear power plant outside of Lodi. To get to it we had to walk through what Mike called the Geiger Family vineyard. Radioactive grapes were not a concern however as the sky cleared and the moon went into full eclipse.
As long as anyone believes that his ideal and purpose is outside him, that it is above the clouds, in the past or in the future, he will go outside himself and seek fulfillment where it cannot be found. He will look for solutions and answers at every point except where they can be found--in himself.

A moment from our journey from Patreksfjordur in Iceland's Westfjords to Kirkjufell on Snaefellsnes Peninsula, where we arrived about an hour before the (late) nightfall. Iceland in May has already very long days and we could still photograph outside until half an hour before midnight.

Deeply hidden in the Belgium forest lays this abandoned manor. Utterly vandalized and ruined. Resting together with it's private land including a lake with a little island in the middle of it. The manor counted 4 fireplaces and a brick kiln outside. A basement as big as the house itself including a triple garage, 2 bathrooms and at least 7 bedrooms. Upstairs many parts of the floor had gone unstable and were inaccessible because parts were missing. Once a very special place, Now but a ruin.
Après avoir acheté mon nouveau objectif canon EF-100 2.8 macro, je l'ai essayé dans mon jardin et voici le résultat. A vous d'en juger.

The Susitna River and some of the Alaskan Range are pictured, visible from the Denali Highway. I drove the full 135 miles of this gravel road, taking countless stops for photos. Before the Parks Highway was completed in the early 1970s, the Denali Highway was the only road access to Denali National Park. I expected the road to be very lightly travelled from what I'd read. However this being the opening of moose & caribou hunting season, pretty much every one of the numerous pullovers were occupied by hunters. The road was actually very busy... Driving the Denali Highway had been on my bucket list ever since my fist visit to Alaska 3 years ago. I'm so glad I did it this time! Despite being mostly gravel, conditions of this road weren't nearly as bad as reviews I'd read on trip forums led me to believe. A few areas had pot holes, but I've been on much more primitive forest roads than this. The views and the Autumn colors were amazing. No wildlife spotting the whole way this day due to the hunting, but the landscapes were spectacular.
Wishing everyone a great Sunday and thanks for the views!
This squirrel was so intent on his meal of acorns that he didn't seem to mind me crouching down beside him and snapping away!
Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on yesterday's Chinese Lantern shot. They are very much appreciated.

It's getting cold outside! Here's a warm thought! What are your favorite beaches? This one is near Grand Haven, Michigan; and it is probably my favorite, or second to Ludington, Michigan's extensive beaches!
View of two Thai monks sitting on the base of the Vat Pha That Luang, Vientiane, Laos.
That Luang, or the Great Stupa, in Vientiane is a national symbol - its image is on Laos’ official seal - and also the most sacred monument in the country.
From the outside That Luang looks more like a fortress surrounded by high walls an it features two temples with the main stupa, the top of which is covered with gold leaf.
King Setthathirath built this great sacred stupa in 1566. Its central structure is 45 meters tall and echoes the curving lines of an elongated lotus. The original stupa was said to contain relics of Lord Buddha.
The beautiful architecture is in Lao style, influenced by Buddhist beliefs-these include finely-gilded, red-lacquer doors, pointed lesser stupas, many Buddha images and beautiful flower and animal images.....
Taipei 101 has been my major theme of shooting since I brought my DSLR. The reason is because it is our local landmark and I can shoot it from many angles during each season. This shooting spot is one of the best during winter.
我真的還蠻專心在拍101的，因為這是我們台北的地標，也是我可以一年四季常常去拍的題材，在各個季節，從不同的角度。像成功橋，就是冬季最佳攝點之一。

Amazing and stunning. What an experience to stand watching and listening to the roar of Niagara Falls in Niagara Canada. An experience of a lifetime. #Niagara #NiagaraFalls
This is a Northern view of Mono Lake from my recent trip. The tufas make for a great foreground when shooting here. My friend and I stayed until after the sun went down and it turned dark. We now had dilemma on our hands. We didn't get a campsite before we started shooting pictures and now we needed a place to sleep.
I vetoed trying to find a campsite in the dark; so we drove to Bishop to try to find a room for the night. Well, we soon discovered that the Tri County Fair was going on Labor Day weekend and all the rooms were booked. We had a room reserved at the local hostel for the next night and asked if there might be a chance that they put us up for Friday night. They were also completely booked, but they said we could sleep outside on the ground if we had sleeping bags. Well we did and took them up on the offer. We ended up sleeping on the patio on our air mattresses and were glad about it. The next day we were up at the crack of dawn and off on the next adventure.
I found myself surrounded by the wonderful smell of Lavender at the weekend whilst visiting Somerset Lavender in Faulkland, a lovely place to visit for a Cream Tea and to enjoy the wonderful Flora at the Farm which is known as Horsepond.
Another place and photograph off the bucket list, not to say I wont return for a better shot though! :)

Interior landscape in Iceland's North. We left the coastline and cut through these plains in order to travel from the Northern coast near Bloenduos to Holmavik in the remote Westfjords. While I truly love coastal landscapes I confess that these barren vistas of ancient lava fields, bog grass and apparently never ending snow-capped mountain ranges really get to me. Seeing them has deepened my comprehension of what kind of toughness Icelanders own in order to make a living there and they have all my admiration for it.
Happy Monochrome Monday!
A familiar scene in my photostream. The view across from Annapolis Royal to Granville Ferry. I cannot resist Adirondack Chairs especially when they looks as good as these do. Taken in the garden of Bailey House Bed and Breakfast in Annapolis Royal.
I was actually in the New Forest photgraphing some Birds of Prey but I became somewhat distracted by the lovely Canada Geese Goslings. Judging by the fact that they couldn't stand up in the breeze very well and the state of their coats I would say they were extremely young.
It was such a treat to wake up that morning and have a breakfast right here! We were greeted with birds, ground squirrels and a black bear. All at once!
Enjoy it!
Thanks for your visits and comments.

On my way to the pretty Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens I leisurely walked through the expanses of the Queen's Domain with its many wildflowers. There I sooner smelt than saw this delicate little Pale Vanilla Lily, Arthropodium milleflorum, endemic to Australia and Tasmania. It does indeed have a Vanillan odor, even in the chilly winds and lack of much sun.
The earliest scientific description was made by the great French botanical artist Pierre Joseph Redoubté (1759-1840) and Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (1778-1841) in their book on Lilies of 1803/1804. In it we learn that our Lily first flowered in the Jardin des Plantes of Paris in 1803. Candolle and Redoubté knew it as Anthericum milleflorum, and it probably came to them through d'Entrecasteaux' expedition to these shores (around 1792).
I continued on to the Gardens founded in 1818, and in one of the beds devoted to Tasmanian plants there was also this flower that grows in the wild just outside. The photographed Lily Pond dates from 1840.

A windy sunset always brings reds in the Sky and frights on the ground! I was there, close to the cliff withstanding the wind gusts, trying to catch this fascinating landscape and atmosphere. I do recognize I was in jeopardy but what is photography without some risk!
Un atardecer ventoso siempre trae rojos en el cielo y sustos en el suelo! Allí estaba, al borde del acantilado soportando las rachas de viento, intentando captar este fascinante paisaje y atmósfera. Reconozco que estuve en peligro pero que es la fotografía sin riesgos!
