This was last night just outside the village where i grew up..sorry guys but i am way behind again!..will try to catch up as soon as possible!..LIAM
I saw the golden light out of a corner of my eye, and rushed outside . I missed the pure gold, but the sunset put on quite a show. (I'm hoping someone else caught the pure gold)
Below is a zoomed in version and a wider angle.

This is behind a waterfall in the magical land of Iceland.
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

Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly.
This is a very common butterfly which regularly frequents gardens, particularly favouring Buddlea bushes.
It is mainly reddish-orange with black markings and blue spots around the border. In contrast, the underside is quite dull.
It can be found sometimes hibernating in houses.
Lindley's Aster / Kanadische Bergaster (Aster ciliolatus)
Terra Nostra Guestranch, Kleena Kleene, BC, Canada
A mine outside of Røros in Trøndelag that was in production in different periodes from 1723 to approx 1940
Panther chameleons are zygodactylous: on each foot, the five toes are fused into a group of two and a group of three, giving the foot a tongs-like appearance. These specialized feet allow the panther chameleon a tight grip on narrow branches. Each toe is equipped with a sharp claw to gain traction on surfaces such as bark when climbing. The claws make it easy to see how many toes are fused into each part of the foot — two toes on the outside of each front foot and three on the inside.
Their eyes are the most distinctive among the reptiles and function like a gun turret. The upper and lower eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously; their eyes move independently from each other. It in effect gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision around their bodies. When prey is located, both eyes can be focused in the same direction, giving sharp stereoscopic vision and depth perception.
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!
Situated on the north bank of the Thames near Tower Bridge, 'Girl with a Dolphin' was created by artist David Wynne in 1973.
The statue sits on the waterfront outside the Tower hotel. There is a brother statue, called Boy with a Dolphin, at the Chelsea School of Art.
Like many of his sculptures, this one is, apparently, noted for its depiction of movement, giving the illusion of the figures flying unsupported.

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! :-)

Mobius Arch - Alabama Hills
"Seeing It Through"
Here is one of those iconic spots in the Alabama Hills just outside of Lone Pine, California where you might be lucky if you have the place all to yourself. I did but only for a few minutes since I was first to leave the parking lot in the dark. This was taken a few years ago and now they have a trail that takes you right there, which makes it a much easier find in the dark.
Since I was there first I had spot right in front of the arch but I'm not one to sit in one place for long. This tight view comes working around other photographers in a small place with out the elbow room. I've met a couple nice photographers here that I still talk to every now and then. The mountain is slightly larger then most shots framed by the arch and it took a little extra effort to do that, if you're ever there you'll see why.

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.

Thank You very much, Lord, for everything that You have given to me.
For everything that You give to me.
Thank You very much for the bread, for the life, for the air, for the peace.
Thank You very much for the beauty that my eyes see in the Altar of Nature. Eyes which gaze at the sky, the Earth and the sea. Eyes which follows the bird who flies fast through the blue sky and stops on a green meadow replete with flowers, thousand tonalities. [...]
Thank You very much for my voice, but for Your voice too, for the voice which sings, which teaches literacy, which enlightens, which hums a song, which legislates.
For the voice which emits the melody of Your own voice. But before my own melody, I detect those who are suffering aphasia on Earth... They don't sing at night, they don't talk during the day.
I pray for them, because I know after this trial in the new life, they will sing! I pray for them because I know after this trial, in other reincarnation, they will also dance!

Poem gratitude - Amelia Rodrigues (Divaldo Franco)
----------------------
Eu Te Agradeço Senhor
Senhor, a maioria das pessoas que te procuram é para pedir e exigir, para impor e reclamar, menos eu.
Eu te quero louvar, quero dizer que te amo a vida, que para mim é bela e consentida.
Muito obrigado Senhor, pelo que me deste, pelo que me dás. Obrigado pelo ar, pelo pão, pela paz.
Muito obrigado pela Beleza que os meus olhos vêem no altar da natureza, olhos que fitam a terra, o céu e o mar, que acompanham a ave ligeira que corre fagueira pelo céu de anil e se detém na terra verde salpicada de flores em tonalidades mil. [...]
Muito obrigado pela minha voz mas também pela sua voz, pela voz que ama que canta, que declama, que ensina, que alfabetiza, que ilumina, que calteia uma canção, pela voz que o teu nome profere com sentida emoção.
Diante da minha melodia eu te quero rogar pelos que sofrem de afazia, os que não cantam de noite, os que não falam do dia.
Oro por eles, porque eu sei que depois desta prova na vida nova eles também cantarão. Eu oro por eles, porque sei que depois desta prova, em outra reincarnação, eles também dançarão!

Poema de Gratidão - Amelia Rodrigues (Divaldo Franco)
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.
Anoyher late night on the beach with Steve Bennet.....mostly in drizzle which is what caused this rather attractive flare.
As I was hurrying to Oxbow for sunrise I passed Flat Creek just outside of Jackson Hole. There was just enough light to see that it might be a cool shot. But I was running late with a 20 minute drive ahead and didn't want to miss the alpenglow on Mount Moran. Decisions, decisions! I remembered my personal resolution to never pass up a shot and stopped. Then quickly back on the road and I still made Oxbow in time (see my previously posted image), Whew!
A note about technique - Looking at the EXIF data you may ask why I used ISO 800 since the camera was on a tripod anyway. What difference would a few more seconds make? The reason was that since I was bracketing (-2 to +2 ev) I was concerned about the +2 ev exposure. If it goes over 30 sec. it will be incorrectly exposed since that is the maximum time the camera will auto expose. At ISO 200 the 0ev image would be 6.4 sec. and that would make the +2 ev image 25.6 sec. Close but it would have worked in this case however I would prefer not to worry about technique and instead concentrate on composition and framing. By raising the ISO to 800 I knew I would have would have a cushion for the +2 ev exposure and not have to be constantly checking.
I think the take home message of the above explanation is to know your equipment and technique well enough that the technical aspects of the photograph do not get in the way of artistic expression!

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!! :)
I have been away from Flickr for a while and thought it was time to post a shot and check in. I am well....just incredibly busy with other projects that do not permit me to spend time reviewing and commenting on all my contact's beautiful work. Hope you understand.
This photo was taken yesterday outside our home. Schools of bait fish drew throngs of birds, mostly Snowy Egrets. This pair landed next to each other in some marvelous light.
I am looking forward to turning the clock back tonight and catching an extra hour of sleep! Happy shooting, my friends.

Name their Parents - What kind of Bird will they grow up to become?
The weather was so beautiful last weekend that we took a stroll down the lane to this pretty little woodland which is currently filled with bluebells.
Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on yesterday's blossom shot :)
Thank you Kietbull for drawing my attention to this relaxing piece of music entitled The Winding Path by Kevin Kern - someone I had never heard of before.
