For this weeks theme I used a sliced orange and a half sliced blueberry. I particularly liked how the blueberry has the top middle part that gives more depth to the eye. I used some candies to represent the pellets Pac Man gobbles. :) Photo straight out of camera.
Hope you guys like it. HMM!!!
In addition to capturing the Hunter's Moon, this series was my test to see how the Moon would look when photographed against a distant horizon with a telephoto lens.
In addition to a nice relative size, the early rising Moon was partially obscured by cloud bands, producing various interesting effects. I thought this Pac-Man or jack-o-lantern look seemed especially appropriate for Halloween.
Later the Moon broke through the clouds as shown in the photo posted before this one.

Oggi, 4 giugno, Giornata Internazionale per i bambini innocenti, vittime di aggressioni.
Fu istituita nel 1982 dall' Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite durante un seminario speciale sulla questione della Palestina (!) , nel corso della quale emerse in tutta la sua drammaticità il numero di vittime della violenza bellica.
Ricordiamo in questo giorno gli enormi danni e sofferenze causati ai bambini attraverso le varie forme di violenza, in tutto il mondo, per promuovere una cultura di pace, per il rispetto dei diritti umani.
I bambini sono le vere vittime, le più innocenti ed indifese dei vari abusi non solo fisici, ma anche mentali ed emotivi. Abusi nella famiglia innanzitutto.
I bambini, i giovani, sono anche i grandi dimenticati dalla società, che si ricorda di loro spesso per trarne un profitto economico o sfruttarli, nei Paesi più poveri.
E poi la guerra... Enorme sofferenza che li priva, oltre che della vita, di un futuro, degli affetti, dei loro diritti. Guerra che talvolta è camuffata col nome di pace o in nome di un presunto progresso.
'... Abolire la guerra è l' unica speranza per l'uomo...'
( Discorso di Gino Strada, per la consegna del 'Right Livelihood Award nel 2015).
Molte sono le Giornate mondiali contro la violenza, a favore dei bambini, ma sembra che nulla cambi.
Sono già 261 i bambini uccisi dalla guerra
in Ucraina, e ogni giorno 2 bambini muoiono sotto i bombardamenti, e circa 4 sono feriti.
Circa 15.000 I bambini morti in Afghanistan da inizio anno per malnutrizione e stenti.
Ci sarebbero tanti altri dati da cercare. Bambini morti nelle varie guerre, bambini affogati in acqua o uccisi dal freddo alle frontiere....
Bambini soldato che non sono più bambini...
Loro ci guardano.
They are looking at us

For Macro Mondays - Sidelit
At first I was angry that the chestnuts fell out of the shell - it was supposed to be a nice shape to another picture ... but after a closer look I discovered this funny face, with a second look I discovered the face of Pac-Man :) Macro Mondays group is a very inspirational and creative group and often gives a lot of surprising effects :)
HMM :)
San Francisco, CA - 2015
I believe this shot and my previous post are examples of sharing a handful of photos that just work for me. Photos that I don't expect will fully resonate with most people and understand why they wouldn't.
Each has an element that just sits with me, but I suppose that is what comes with spending too much time on a similar subject or just enjoying a certain tone or shadow. Either way I would rather have some that represent what I appreciate than something that just garners more favorites, likes etc.
With dark clouds blowing in from the West, 35005 "Canadian Pacific" steams past Bishop's Sutton in the last patch of sun before the rain arrived. Seen during a Matt Allen and Warwick Falconer photo charter at the Mid-Hants Railway/Watercress Line.

Pictured here is a close-up shot of London’s all too famous clock tower -- home to the great bell Big Ben. This view was captured looking towards the Palace of Westminster from the south bank of the River Thames.
