~Explored #429~ What a nice surprise! Thanks everyone! :)
Had some warmer weather last week (back to snow now) so it was a nice break from the indoor activities.
It wasn't looking as though the forecasted storms were going to amount to much tonight, but after catching a few flashes in the corner of my eye at home, I dashed out to the local fields outside Beaumaris... and wow... what a display...!
There's something peaceful about being at the bottom of a 2,425 foot waterfall... the sound is deafening- loud enough to drown out the outside world...

Took it in Mexico, like the colour so much,the Couch's Kingbird is very similar to the more widespread Tropical Kingbird. 在去墨西哥的時候拍的，挺有魅力的小鳥，在加拿大很難看到
Snowy in the Wind
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
Snowy Egrets wade in shallow water to spear fish and other small aquatic animals. While they may employ a sit-and-wait technique to capture their food, sometimes they are much more animated, running back and forth through the water with their wings spread, chasing their prey.
One of those photos, which when you see it in front of you, you say to yourself, that can't be true, but it is/was.

Coneguda com a mosca tigre i pertanyen a la família dels sírfids, és característica d'ella les cinc franges verticals fosques que es troben a cadascun dels seus ulls. Encara que semblin terribles, són inofensives. La fotografia és feta al “Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat” (a prop de Barcelona, Espanya).

Wishing all my flickr friends a happy and photogenic 2016!
I saw these festive flying kite fish in Mikasa Park in Yokosuka. Some research turned up information about them:
"Koinobori", carp windsocks, carp streamers or carp banners, decorate the landscape of Japan from April through early May, in honor of Children's Day (originally Boys' festival) on May 5. In Japanese culture, the carp symbolizes courage and strength because of its ability to swim up a waterfall. The Boys' Festival was an event, expressing hope that each boy in the family will grow up healthy and strong like wild carps. During this festival, people set Koinobori, huge carp-shaped windsocks, outside the house. Source and more info: www.koinobori-japan.jp/koinobori.html
A Rare whitebow or fog bow in a field just outside Penryn, Cornwall
Stunning to look at and damn difficult to capture
This 15 second exposure made sure i had enough light coming in through my 10 stop whilst ensuring the fog which was pretty thick was not blowing the highlights
As with all my images i am happy to talk about licensing or printed copies
I am not so happy to find them pinned to pintrest for the world to steal.
Please respect my wishes on this

explored, highest #4! :)
this is my 25th picture in explore. for that, I have all of you to thank. :}
*jaw drops* 1,000 views?? wow. this is by far my most viewed picture. :P
(though it may not seem much to you ninja-flickrites out there, lol.)
Mono Lake Lee Vining Tufa Formations. Storm on the way from the east. Taken in late afternoon.
I discovered this image in my files and processed it in Photoshop CC 2015.
Sometimes it's a good idea to go through your image collections and look for gems you overlooked.

Another from the balloon rally on Sunday. Got more to work through...FINALLY ordered a new computer, hopefully that will make the process of processing and posting photos less frustrating!! Hope your week is off to a good start!!! Have a wonderful evening and thanks for taking a look!!!!
Please note that black spot on the balloon is not a spot caused by my camera, it's actually a serial number on the balloon. I tried to remove it in lightroom but because of it's location it just looked goofy so I decided it could stay!

A shot from my archives, which I somehow forgot to post. Here is the Palace Hotel in the so-called 'Old Town Dubai', and as a bonus, the world's tallest tower in the background. Thanks to my flickr buddy arfromqatar who was staying in this hotel and who made that shot possible (as usual we had some issues with the security guard).
This is a digitally blended Vertorama.
This shot is dedicated to A Parisian Woman in KL for her great testimonial. Thanks again V! :-)

I shot this in the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, just outside of Cheney, Wa. about 20 miles from Spokane. Fortunately the ice was thick enough to kneel on for the shot.
Canon 17-40 f4L 17mm f18. Still waiting for my split ND filter so I blended two exposures about 1 stop apart.
This photo was taken from the walkway just outside the dorm that I stayed in while in Chile. This was taken in the Huilo Huilo reserve in the Los Lagos region of Chile. This was the last night that we would be spending at Huilo Huilo before we were to head up north to Pucon. It was a wonderfully colorful evening that kinda reminded me of something that Thomas Kinkade would paint.
All said and done, this was a very beautiful area that I will always have wonderful memories of! Enjoy :)

Red Square (Russian: Кра́сная пло́щадь, Krásnaya plóshchad’) is the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod. As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, the Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia.

I loved the position of this particular flower, standing out in the crowd. With help of the smoke of someone's cigarette and purple flowers in far back, the whole thing turned out quite well.
I hope you'll like it!
••On a side note••
Scotch and I arrived in Los Angeles after 10 day 4,000+ mile journey a year ago late on a Christmas Eve and it was around this time on Christmas morning that I was able to start exporting my memory cards and the 8,000 or so photos from the roadtrip onto my computer. Because of the frantic nature of the trip and pretty extreme weather, i didn't really review anything on the drive and I was finally able see all the shots I took on my memorable, amazing trip for the first time. I made my brother sit and watch too rationalizing how after 10 very full days in a car with a dog, he could spare a few minutes of a boring slideshow like recap of the trip. It's really hard to believe it's been a year now in Los Angeles and I'm so thankful to be here now and still have Scotch around. This trip put him over 100,000 miles cumulatively on car rides which seems like a ton to me but for a dog who loved it so much, it was time well spent together. As I've noted quite frequently during my time here, this has been a really challenging year for him as he's aged a lot and has dealt with a lot of health issues. He was done to his last weekend in november when last minute throats surgery gave him a reprieve of shorts. Despite a few infections, he said healing well and I hope 2017 is a really happy year for for him. It's been a wild ride so far. For both of us.
This is another shot from a location I only visited once in 2016 and haven't posted yet. Back when I shot this in April, the majority of my trips were either to Malibu Pier or Venice, with a few visits to a handful of other places scattered in. I didn't know the area too well even after 4 months and when the cloudy winter skies because less frequent and were replaced mainly by hazy cloudless spring days, I didn't want to jeopardize rare good conditions on a place I didn't know at all. Fortunately since (and despite my frequent trips and posts from Venice) I have gotten accustomed to the area and have a much more substantial list of locations to choose from depending on the conditions.
I was focused back on areas around Malibu at this point after a series of lousy days at Venice but with the pier area closed for renovations, I began driving further down the Pacific Coast Highway in search of non crowded/interesting vantages for sunsets. This was around the time I started driving all the way to Point Mugu in Ventura County and along the way, I'd usually detour off the PCH to see if any of the 5 or 6 parking spaces at Point Dume were open. I have yet to find a spot and typically there's a row of idling cars waiting for people to leave. If you pass with Point Dume on the left and hook around towards the ocean before getting back on the highway, you run into Malibu Beach which has a single restaurant and is lined on both sides with free parking. Here, I've never had an issue finding a place to stop and with light starting to fade, I unpacked my car here and wandered a bit down the shoreline towards the mountains.
There was a heavy colorful cloud cover out to sea and with the mountains so close (and extended right out of frame), there were plenty of times where the clouds and rolling fog met and it was pretty amazing to see. It was the first time out here I've seen thick fog by the ocean and it almost didn't look real. The beach wasn't very crowded which was fine because at the time, I was still mostly focused on very long exposures and prefered a completely clean view in front of me. I also was still not real comfortable shooting with anyone watching me. I didn't get here early enough to explore more and I wish I hadn't shot so many long exposures with this view. It would've been nice to get some crisper images of the incoming water but that didn't really happen. Further, this was the only direction that was interesting, since the color faded further to the left and there were no mountains as a backdrop so I took no photos directly out to sea of the horizon which is something I do quite often now.
Sometimes when I shoot long exposures with people in the frame, I try hard to wait out the release of the shutter as long as those subjects are still, releasing it as soon as I sense movement. On quicker shutter shots, I do something similar where I wait until the last possible moment before the surf washes under my low tripod to take the shot. While the sky and sunset turned out to be pretty remarkable, I was more amazed by the motionless couple standing in the middle of the beach for well over a minute--and yes, that is a couple not a single person like I originally thought.
This visit is an example of one of the places I've gone where I wouldn't mind a do-over. I knew about 16 months ago when my obsession with long exposure began that there would be days I'd look back on and regret not taking a more varied approach to my shooting. Further, my understanding of photography is much different now and having seen some conditions here I have yet to find anywhere else, I missed chances at some very memorable shots. Until my shooting gets a bit more on track, I doubt long exposure will dominate a shoot like it used to unless it's specifically a trip for long exposure, like to Hollywood Bowl Overlook. With winter here and lifeguard stations mostly empty, this might be a great spot to bring Scotch at some point for a relaxing night on the beach. The drive isn't quick but it's one he still enjoys and being able to park 5ft from the sand makes it even easier. He's getting closer to being as healthy and active as I can hope for at this point in his life and from his recovery from throat surgery and there's plenty of places I still want to take him to see :)

The day I decided to go outside to take some photos was not quite bright. Business didn't let me watch the autumn around me much.... But then, when the night came, the lights of Moscow made some effect and transformed the view into magic.
The view from the bridge that I like a lot. Moscow, September, 2014.
Thank you for all your comments and favs.
Designed by Norman Foster, The Bow is currently the tallest building in Canada outside of Toronto. It goes really well with our blue Alberta skies.
WISH YOU A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

We had a wonderful walk with rampons on a glacier...........a unique experience.
Parque Nacional Los Glaciares is a national park in the Santa Cruz Province, in Argentine Patagonia. It comprises an area of 4459 km².[1] In 1981 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Its name refers to the giant ice cap in the Andes range that feeds 47 large glaciers, of which only 13 flow towards the Atlantic Ocean.
The ice cap is the largest outside of Antarctica and Greenland. In other parts of the world, glaciers start at a height of at least 2,500 meters above mean sea level, but due to the size of the ice cap, these glaciers begin at only 1,500m, sliding down to 200m AMSL, eroding the surface of the mountains that support them.

Although wind chill temperatures were in the single digits & I was all sorts of numb, exploring in the mountains was the perfect way to bring in the new year. While laying down on a giant river rock to get this shot of the final sunset of 2014, I couldn't help but to reflect on the past year -- it was a year of growth, on many levels. And with that growth, I am ready to take on 2015...it's going to be interesting, and I'm excited!
Happy New Year!! :)
