Punakaiki is the gateway to the dramatic limestone country of the Paparoa National Park. It lies halfway between Greymouth and Westport on one of the most spectacular coastal highways in New Zealand.
The Pancake Rocks that Punakaiki is famous for, are limestone formations that began forming 30 million years ago, when lime-rich fragments of dead marine creatures were deposited on the seabed, then overlaid by weaker layers of soft mud and clay.
The seabed was raised above sealevel by earthquakes to form the coastal cliffs and coastline. The sea, wind and rain have since etched out the soft layers to form the unusual rock formations we see today.
When conditions are right, heavy ocean swells thunder into the caverns beneath the rocks and huge water spouts blast skywards through the blowholes in a truly spectacular sight.

Sometimes you see a beautiful tree, but the sky is empty, totally naked. In this case, I used Photoshop's Sky Replacement tool for the first time. I am not unhappy with the result, what do you think? Actually I was not satisfied with the result of the tool, the small branches had suffered too much. I then overlaid the original image again and converted the result to black and white.

A single Pano-Sabotage shot taken on June 12, 2015 in Times Square, New York, overlaid with the same shot only expanded in size and moved off-centre to create a kind of "structural shimmering". This method harkens back to my student days when I would deliberately print layers off-register when doing silkscreens to achieve a slightly disorienting 'vibrating' effect.
Number 3 in a series of "End Game" images that deal with the notion that we've gone too far in our relationship with the planet. In nature there are usually disastrous results for any species that overpopulates and destroys its own environment. Why would we be different ?

Kristiansand is strategically located on the Skagerrak, and until the opening of the Kiel Canal between the North Sea and the Baltic was very important militarily and geopolitically. This meant that for centuries it served as a military stronghold, first as Harald Fairhair's royal residence, then as a Danish-Norwegian fortress, and later as a garrison town. Kristiansand is a gateway to and from the continent, with ferry service to Denmark and a terminus of the railway line along the southern edge of South Norway.
Geologically, this part of Agder is part of the Swedo-Norwegian Base Mountain Shield, the southwestern section of the Baltic Shield, and consists of two main geological formations of Proterozoic rocks that were formed in the Gothic and later Swedo-Norwegian orogenies, with significant metamorphism during the latter.[13] There is a substrate of 1,600–1,450 million-year-old slate, quartzite, marble and amphibolite with some hornblende gneiss, and overlaid on this acidic surface structures of both granite and granodiorite (in general 1,250–1,000 million years old, in some places 1,550–1,480 million years old). The Bamblefelt geological area starts to the east of the municipality and extends to Grenland.
The last Swedo-Norwegian formations are evident in large formations of granite. There are also incidences of gabbro and diorite, less commonly eclogite. The Caledonian orogeny did not affect this area. Faults run southwest-northeast.[14] In ancient times there was a volcano off Flekkeroy, which left deposits of volcanic rock just north of central Kristiansand, on the site of the estate of Eg, now occupied by the Hospital of Southern Norway.
Near the city, there are deep woods. In Baneheia and at the former coastal artillery fortress on Odderøya, there are lighted ski trails and walking paths specially prepared for wheelchair users.
Two major rivers, the Otra and the Tovdalselva, flow into the Skagerrak at Kristiansand. wikipedia

Compositionally Challenged Week 35 - Layered Abstracts
One photo overlaid another with half transparency and a bit of "light leak" applied followed with a slight vignette and frame using Ribbet.
That is, one shutter click of Glen Canyon shows overlaid patterns created by primary sedimentation; erosion; and chemical stains. I understand stratified deposition, and the chemical stain and wash, but find the gouged bas relief along this vertical wall somewhat puzzling.
Maybe some pareidolia in the thumbnail, which (for me) disappears in full view. Map location is not exact.

Medium-sized black-and-white woodpecker with a dirty-yellow breast overlaid with fine black streaking. Male has a brilliant red crown extending from above the eye to the back of the neck. Similar Freckle-breasted Woodpecker has less warm-colored underparts and is considerably smaller. Stripe-breasted inhabits open forests, edges, gardens, and plantations from lowlands up into the mountains. Gives high-pitched sharp notes and long rattles; voice is generally higher-pitched than in other similar species. Joins mixed-species foraging flocks. (eBird)

He was busy searching this thorny tree for grubs and insects and was not at all interested in giving us a decent look at his striped breast. Unfortunately, this shot does not give a look at the bright red vent that matches his head. I did appreciate him choosing a non-leafy tree for his lunch.

3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies; 4 having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

Arriving in the city, she was immediately assaulted by the strange scents: smoke, flowers, the hint of prepared food: all overlaid with decay and desperation. There was an odd mixture of urban architecture with pavements and roads consumed by the flowers that spread rampantly throughout, even inside buildings when she peered through hollow windows and broken doorways.

And with a wave of her wand, the blue faerie produced a beautiful blue egg decorated with irises from a scattering of blue faerie dust.
The theme for "Smile on Saturdat" for the 8th of April is "eggs-periment". For this challenge, the main subject must be eggs and one has to 'experiment' with post-processing the photo. Now this is a real challenge for me, because as a general rule, I don't like to do a great deal of post-processing to my images. However in this case I have made an egg-ception! I hope my post-processing using a bit of colour saturation and different lens flare images from Be-Funky will be enough. I must confess that it really does make this a rather magical egg! I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
This delicate and fragile Easter egg has been painted completely by hand in a beautiful Art Nouveau style, known as Arts and Crafts Movement or “Style Liberty” in the United Kingdom. The egg has a background of rich cobalt blue which is decorated with a stylised cobalt blue irises in a William Morris style and then overlaid with gilding. The egg is then covered in a varnish to protect the fragile hand painted surface. This egg, perched atop a small porcelain rest, has a small puncture at both the top and the bottom, indicating that it was “blown”, a tradition where one blows the white and yolk of the egg through the hole in the bottom by way of exhaling into the hole at the top. A time consuming method, egg blowing must be done gently so as not to break the fragile egg shell by applying too much pressure. It can take well over an hour to blow a single egg. The paper I have chosen for the background is one of William Morris’ most popular patterns, “Strawberry Thief”, created in 1883, which I thought suited this magical Style Liberty Easter egg.

La Ceja, Colombia; 2300 meters above sea level.
Adelpha butterflies are colloquially known as 'Sisters'. In terms of appearance they are reminiscent of the White Admirals ( Limenitis ) of Eurasia, and share with them a fondness for flitting gracefully around the lower branches of trees in the dappled sunlight of the forest.
There are 85 known species of Adelpha, all except two of which are confined to Central and South America. The butterflies are characterised by having a distinctive blackish marbled pattern overlaid on a brown ground colour; and by the presence of a broad orange or white band on the forewings. The hindwings of most species have a white median band.
Adelpha lycorias occurs from Mexico to Paraguay, and also in the Atlantic cloudforests of Brazil.
Adelpha lycorias is commonest in cloudforest habitats between about 500-1500m but can be found from sea level up to at least 2400m.

SAD-EYED LADY OF THE LOWLANDS – JOAN BAEZ
My artwork is inspired by Gustav Klimt's paintings, The Tree of Life and The Kiss
Original artwork by me overlaid onto self-portrait photography
Poem inspired by …
I think of you in times of sorrow
I think of you in terms of Klimt
The Kiss that etched itself upon
my tender and so willing lips
I think of you within tomorrow
I think of you without my love
and yet I still know that you would follow
me to the ends of the earth and to Heaven above
I dwell with one foot firmly planted
rooted in my past mistakes
I ponder on that sad beginning
that ended suddenly for both our sakes
I dwell in twilight; bindweed climbing
over the wall and far away
I wonder if the never-ending
concentric circles will meet one day
I count the Fibonacci sequence
in nature and to help me sleep
perchance to dream that you are with me
stitch by stitch by knitted sheep
I watch them leap the farmer's gate
following each other blind; unrestrained
I would teach them to abandon reason
to stop themselves from the oncoming train
In my eyes you see the painful
side-effects of half-forgotten dreams
resurrected now and gainful
with someone else sewn into my seams
By my side he guides me onwards
keeps my path straight; I do not stray
not even if you were to come back now
our love, my love has faded away
Now Autumn falls and by the wayside
lost dreams and leaves are gathered gold
spun and woven into a different fabric
a new love now replaces the old.

According to Wikipedia:
Above the modern town rises the acropolis of Lindos, a natural citadel which was fortified successively by the Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Knights of St John and the Ottomans. This makes the site difficult to excavate and interpret archaeologically. The acropolis offers spectacular views of the surrounding harbours and coastline.
Lindos was founded by the Dorians led by the king Tlepolemus of Rhodes, who arrived in about the 10th century BC. It was one of six Dorian cities in the area known as the Dorian Hexapolis. The eastern location of Rhodes made it a natural meeting place between the Greeks and the Phoenicians, and by the 8th century Lindos was a major trading centre. In the 6th century it was ruled by Cleobulus, one of the Seven Sages of Greece. The importance of Lindos declined after the foundation of the city of Rhodes in the late 5th century.
In classical times the acropolis of Lindos was dominated by the massive temple of Athena Lindia, which attained its final form in around 300 BC. In Hellenistic and Roman times the temple precinct grew as more buildings were added. In early medieval times these buildings fell into disuse, and in the 14th century they were partly overlaid by a massive fortress built on the acropolis by the Knights of St John to defend the island against the Ottomans.

Apps: I used Photoshop Express to remove some haze, which gave more definition to the sky. Then overlaid that sky onto the original in Pixelmator. I used Lightroom to remove some noise, and finished with a frame in PhotoToaster.
There is a majestic building not far from where a friend of mine lives in Rockledge, PA. That's just outside the city of Philadelphia.
It's a place so special, that she treats herself to a visit to its handsome visage at the end of a hard day of work, like another person would treat themselves to an icecream (or, rather, a gelati, in Philly).
This is just a tiny representation of my friend, Sharon's, special place; it's her place of refuge and peace. And I now fully understand why it touches her heart so.
Sharon lovingly shared this place with David and I during our recent stay in Philly.
I like capturing steeples and spires of architecturally brilliant buildings, I like golden light, and I like an overlaid texture of foliage. I got all three of those things here.
And I return it to you, Sharon, and in your honor.
With deep affection,

Tonight I thought I'd have a faff in PS. Feeling lazy I just shot the silhouette part this evening and overlaid an in camera double from beneath Fountains Abbey and an archway from within the Abbey itself which was from last years 365.
This is 175 of my 366.
Macro of sunset ... this is combination of two images where I focused first on the reflection in the eye, and then took a second capture focusing on the eye details ... both at different focal planes. I then overlaid the eye focus over the first capture layering in the pupil and iris parts onto that image.
The ground colour of the upper side of both males and females is white. The forewing has the cell crossed by five short black bands, of which the basal extends to the dorsum, the sub-basal into interspace 1, the medial and pre-apical up to the median vein, and the apical or fifth along the discocellulars; this last band extends broadly on both sides of the veinlets and terminates at the lower apex of the cell; beyond these are broad postdiscal and terminal black transverse bands from costa to tornal angle; the two bands coalesce below vein 4 and terminate in a point at the tornus; the white portions of the cell anteriorly overlaid with pale green; short broken glossy green bands between the black cellular apical band and the distal band and anteriorly between the latter and the terminal band.
The upper side of the hindwing has the basal three-fourths uniformly white, with black markings on the underside that show through; the terminal fourth dark grey traversed by a curved irregular subterminal series of black crescent-shaped marks that ends in a black tornal spot and a terminal black band that follows the indentations of the wing; the emargination (notches in a margin) below the black tornal spot are edged with ochraceous; the tail blackish grey, edged and tipped with white
The underside of the forewing is similar to the upper side in markings but the green shading over the white portions in the basal half of the cell more decided; the discal and terminal transverse black bands are separate, and are not joined posteriorly, the former edged posteriorly on both sides by dark grey due to the black on the upper side that shows through by transparency. The underside of the hindwing is half green on the basal part while the outer half white; a large black tornal spot; a black line along the dorsum that curves above the tornal spot outwards to vein 2; a straight subbasal black band from costa across cell that terminates on vein 2, where it joins the dorsal black line; a broader black band from costa across apex of cell extended into base of interspace 3; an irregular discal series of black markings curved inwards posteriorly towards the tornal spot; a subterminal series of very small slender black lunules in pairs, the ground colour on the inner side of these darkened to rich ochreous yellow; lastly, a series of short terminal black bars in the interspaces so arranged as to follow indentations of the termen; tail dusky black edged with white. Antenna black; head and thorax anteriorly with a broad black medial band, rest of thorax bluish; abdomen white, marked beneath on each side by a black stripe
Parallel to the total lunar eclipse on 27.7.2018 (blood moon) there was a flyover of the ISS space station. The picture was overlaid from two single pictures.

Parallel zur totalen Mondfinsternis am 27.7.2018 (Blutmond) gab es einen Überflug der ISS Raumstation. Das Bild wurde aus zwei Einzelbildern überlagert.
The shot of the cemetery was taken in bright daylight with a few undesirable clouds, recently took a shot of the moon with no clouds and decided to do some playing in Photoshop and Topaz..... Adjusted contrast and other minor adjustments in Photoshop, turned to night in Topaz Adjust with some minor tweaking in Photoshop, additional tweaking in Topaz Lens Effects plus additional adjustments in Photoshop, some tone adjustments in Topaz Restyle. The moon photo was enlarged to desired size and the cemetery photo was overlaid onto it and positioned to desired location. The clouds were taken from another photo that had desired clouds by selecting the portion of the clouds desired and then adjusting contrast in Photoshop, then converted to night in Topaz Adjust, then Restyle plus some minor adjustments in Photoshop before overlaying to finish this presentation for Slider Sunday……………………………..

Macro Monday's and the theme of "Forks".
For this week I spent the most time just contemplating what to do such as what angle I would have the fork? How many? Would I have food on it?
While playing with a couple of forks earlier in the week I found that crossing the ends of two forks gave a pleasing result and gave grid like shapes when the tines of two forks were overlaid. I was also amused when I looked at the gallery early in the morning and saw someone else had thought to try this as well.
The lighting aspect was giving me the most thought until I remembered a photo that I took for a challenge a couple of years ago. It was based on kitchen utensils and I chose a bottle opener. I decided to back light it with two flashes so it was in silhouette but the outline of the opener was highlighted. I decided to do this but also tried it first with a Red/Blue gel combination and then a Red/Green combination.
In the end I liked the Red/Green version as the colours are more contrasting and the green came out better than blue.
Originally built by the Nabataeans (not the Romans) more than 2000 years ago, the Theatre was chiselled out of rock, slicing through many caves and tombs in the process. It was enlarged by the Romans to hold about 8500 (around 30% of the population of Petra) soon after they arrived in 106 CE. Badly damaged by an earthquake in 363 CE, the Theatre was partially dismantled to build other structures but it remains a Petra highlight.
The seating area had an original capacity of about 3000 in 45 rows of seats, with three horizontal sections separated by two corridors. The orchestra section was carved from the rock, but the backdrop to the frons scaenae (stage, which is no longer intact) was constructed, as opposed to carved, in three storeys with frescoed niches and columns overlaid by marble. The performers entered through one of three entrances, the outlines of which are still partially visible.
To make room for the upper seating tiers, the Romans sliced through more tombs. Under the stage floor were storerooms and a slot through which a curtain could be lowered at the start of a performance. From near the slot, an almost-complete statue of Hercules was recovered.
With a backdrop worthy of a David Roberts canvas, the Theatre now offers a vantage point from which to watch a modern tragicomedy of the ill-costumed, cursing their high-heeled footwear; the ill-cast, yawning at tedious tour guides; and the ill-tempered – mainly in the form of irritable camels and their peevish owners.

50 years ago I purchased this unusually bound book which, despite its sorry state. I estimated to be fairly old. The rigid cover made of leather overlaying wood veneer was unique in my mind. My research led me to find out that binding techniques changed in the 1600s with use of layers of paper, instead of wood veneer, overlaid with leather. This book however did not fit the story. Further research led me to the Princeton Theological Commons digital library which showed the Psalm book by Isaac Watts, 1674-1748, having been published originally in 1719 in London.
As it was used extensively by religious services attendees, the cover was made of wood with leather overlay to prevent destruction from use.
Estimated publication date of this version: 1790s
The book was republished several times in the 1700s and 1800s with digitized copies in the Internet Archive of the Library.

I spotted this beautiful cutter sailing down the Solent on Sunday. Looked into her history and to my surprise found she was not built one hundred and twenty years ago but in 2007 in Falmouth based on the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutters She was built to her original spec but for bronze fittings instead of iron and a twin sandwich plywood deck encased in epoxy resin and overlaid with teak. The interior fit out is beautifully done with all the mod conns.
Overprocessed self-portrait for Smile on Saturday! Smile! Started with a not-bad self-portrait. Blurred the background (an abstract oil painting) and then overlaid a metal texture from Sharkpixel and then overlaid a bokeh overlay of my own. It has been a really great thing to learn how easy (and fun) it is to make my own textures and overlays, and then also to learn how easy (and fun) it is to play around in Photoshop adding them as layers.
