While driving towards Bishop, CA, I noticed the clouds suddenly part and a burst of sunlight spilled onto this hillside. I was able to quickly pull over and grab this shot before it vanished as quickly as it arrived.

The Swiss alps in a late September light...
...which shone so intensely that afternoon. The colors of the landscape are already wearing the guise of autumn. The view was as clear as an October morning. Standing there and marveling at this spectacle of light can hardly be compared to anything else. Many thanks dear friends for all the beautiful words on Part 1. I hope you like the second part as well. My first Fuji camera was here in action.This picture is already a few years old and I still chose it because the atmosphere was really unique for me that day and also because my oldest Son advised me to choose this one. I had another one to choose from showing the morning light over the mountains and lake, but for us this one is the right for now. (Maybe I'll post the other one at a later date.)
For both of us, this mountain lake is one of the most beautiful places in our country and we would like to visit it many more times, as long as I have the strength to do so. By the way, this is the high-altitude hike that leads around the lake high up. The mountains in the background are over 3600m high and the lake is at about 1500m over sea level. Here you see a rock face of more than 2000m height. It is sometimes not so safe to hike at this height and so close to the abyss, but it is incredibly beautiful, especially on a day like this when the mountain tops are covered with fresh snow. Thank you for reading my story to the picture and all time you give my little work. It means so much to me and every single word is so appreciated my dear friends.
...yes, I'm coming home to my beloved mountains. It's a part of me and I can't live without theme. I love nature so much. It's something deep in my heart.
Humble and uplifting at the same time, hardly anything in nature inspires as much awe as the sight of mountains.
Climb the mountains and feel the good energy. Peace in nature will flow into you like the sunshine that nourishes the trees. The wind will refresh you, the storm will fill you with power, and all your cares will fall away from you, like autumn leaves.
Hiking is the most perfect way to get around if you want to discover real life. It's the way to freedom.
Dire Straits-Why Worry
The university in Lincoln is one of the newer ones in the U.K. and is growing all the time. Very busy and very popular! This is just one of the many buildings that have been constructed in recent years.
Part of the Milky Way rises vertically above the coastal dunes at Cuttagee, NSW Far South Coast. To the right lie the Larger and Smaller Magellanic Clouds. The South Celestial Pole sits between the three, a bit more than half way up the frame, above the green clump of dune grass, although there's nothing to mark it - just sayin' :-)

Part 5
The next morning arrived and I slept in a little. Then after waking at sun touch I packed up and headed down the trail to the lake I saw from above the day before, 4th Recess Lake. It was a short hike, only about 2 miles and mostly downhill with no major uphill.
The shores of this lake were surrounded by pine forest on the northern end where the log jammed outflow creek drained into Mono Canyon, it was beneath these shade giving trees that I made my camp. The 650ft waterfall at the far southern end 0.6 mile away, filled the air with its peaceful drone. After a short break and nap, I explored the western shore where the forest broke into steep sloping meadows and swiftly rising mountainside until I could go no further. By now clouds gathered above the towering cliffs on the eastern shore and wind whipped across the surface creating small whitecaps that sloshed against the rocky western shore beneath my feet.
As the hours went by, and the sun continued it's long trek across the sky, the roaring wind calmed its temper and all became still. As the sun neared its resting place beyond the high peaks 100s of fish began jumping in the lake's now still surface beneath the vibrant alpine glow on the towering cliffs above the eastern shore. Then came the calm night spent listening to the faint distant roar of the waterfall.
While exploring this lake I struggled with photographing the large landscape photos I love the most, so I focused more on the small details of the rocks, light/shadow play, water and trees. There was one spot in particular on the eastern shore beneath the towering cliffs that caught my attention; a large, sweeping steep slope of large talus boulders that looked as though it was created in a massive rock slide that may have been the cause of the log jam at the outflow of this lake.
Part 6
There is a little pond of glacial melt water that I have been looking at on google earth for several years now. It lies at the foot of Banner Glacier, in amongst the glacial moraine. To reach it I would have to climb 1250 ft in 0.8 of a mile. My goal was to do what I had done for yesterday's sunrise photo and wake up stupid early to climb up there for alpine glow, but since I have not been there before like I had for the other shot I needed to do an exploratory climb first just to see if it was possible to reach. Before leaving I had spent long hours studying satellite imagery, topo-maps and mountaineering routes, trying to determine the best possible way up to it. Now that I was finally here and able to see it with my own eyes I studied the landscape and terrain that I could see from a distance to try and confirm my planed route. I thought I had found a route that I liked that avoided as much talus and moraine as it could.
Today my plan was simple, make sure the route was climbable and that it could be done by headlamp also maybe find a site to spend the night somewhere closer, higher up the slope if I can near a spring, that would be a huge bonus.
After a successful 0.8 of a mile, 1250ft climb over 4 hours to the tarn I determined it would have been to dangerous to make the climb buy headlamp and I also did not want to do it again with a pack on. Now all I had to do was retrace my steps back down...

The Herikhuizerveld is a hilly moorland that is part of the Veluwezoom National Park in the municipality of Rheden in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is owned by Natuurmonumenten.
From the tops of some hills in Herikhuizerveld, one can look out over the valley of the river IJssel far into Germany. There are several dry valleys in the area with a steep wall on one side and a more sloping wall on the other.

LA COMMEDIA DELL' ARTE 2a parte
_______________________________________________
La nave è ferma tra i portelloni dell'invaso,
aspetta il via per poter proseguire una volta riequilibrate le acque.
Noi villeggianti,
tutti affacciati ai parapetti incuriositi dall'afflusso degli abitanti di Esna.
Prima scena:
Dalla riva scendono in acqua i più piccoli,
a nuoto raggiungono la motonave.
Lo fanno con grande forza ed abnegazione.
Subito inteneriscono i turisti.
Qualche bimbo ha meno di 10 anni.
Ho in mano la fotocamera con inserito l'obiettivo 300 mm.
Così facendo, riesco a vedere meglio quel che accade.
Li seguo ,
mentre le persone si sbracciano dal ponte della nave per salutarli.
Con gli occhi già umidi, vedo una scena molto coinvolgente.
Le signore... ma anche insospettabili omaccioni,
cominciano a mettere mano al portafoglio.
Altri lanciano magliette ed ogni sorta d'abbigliamento.
Tutti s'affannano a favorire il più meritevole,
parteggiando per l'uno o per l'altro a seconda delle circostanze.
I bimbi, perché di questo si tratta,
smanacciano per accaparrarsi, ciascuno, più "doni" possibili.
E' una guerra all'ultimo respiro.
C'è chi soccombe, sparendo sott'acqua per qualche secondo.
Urla salgono alte, paura e sconforto s'impossessano degli "spettatori".
I turisti s'impietosiscono sempre più,
in particolare con i più piccoli.
Tifano per loro facendo salire il phatos alle stelle.
I portafogli si aprono di nuovo.
E le banconote piovono dal ponte della nave.
Nemmeno toccano l'acqua che vengono afferrate dai ragazzi che usano i contenitori in plastica dei rotolini fotografici come piccole scatole impermeabili.
Finiti i contenitori, qualcuno si mette i soldi perfino in bocca, riempiendola quasi a soffocare.
Seconda scena:
E' il momento di tornare a riva,
dove ragazzi più grandi li aspettano a mani tese.
No miei cari amici, non vogliono aiutare i bimbi,
ormai allo stremo delle forze.
Bensì prendersi tutta la mercanzia con grande avidità.
Fingono litigi e piccole truffe.
Sembra che da un momento all'altro tutto degeneri in modo irrimediabile.
Ed ecco che entrano in scena gli adulti e qualche vecchio.
In mano, fruste occasionali fatte con corde e rami.
La gente urla dalla nave parole accorate e pure qualche insulto.
I turisti impietriti dal dispiacere, assistono inermi alla punizione corporale.
Per ultimo d'improvviso
Compaiono due guardie con dei vecchi fucili in mano.
Mimano l'alt a tutti i contendenti.
Armi spianate, mettono di nuovo la calma.
sequestrando tutta la merce ed i soldi.
Giustizia è fatta...????
La nave sta per ripartire, ho ancora il 300 mm. ad aiutarmi.
Ed assisto allibito a quest'ultima scena.
Nascosti dietro un grande cespuglio,
bimbi, ragazzi, adulti e vecchi, assieme alla 2 guardie,
si spartiscono il ricavato della "recita" in parti convenute.
Ovviamente i bambini rimangono solo con qualche caramella in mano.
Che ingiustizia, il merito è tutto loro.
Via su ripuliamoci.
Un'altra motonave si sta avvicinando.
Arrivano gli spettatori "paganti".
Si ricomincia.

Cast, Part, Stab2 (Fargo), Dezo, Kezam, Shiro, and Break. Photo by Sye, TC5, FC. It started raining towards the end of the day.
Part of my fox remote photography series. Red Fox jumping under the moon on an overcast night. Taken with Canon T3i and motion sensor. This photo has a few issues and I had to address the ghost effect of the long exposure (transparency of the fox). I used a brush to repair it a little. I just couldn't discard this shot.
انا مَ زلت بخير .. قلبي يؤلمني قليلا
وهذا لا يعني انني في حال سيء
عيني تحرقني وتمتلئ بـ الدمع
لكنني ادفع الدمع الى الداخل
لـن ابكي ...
مرهقة جدا لكنني / اكتب
افقد ابتسامتي لكنني اتصنعها من اجلهم :")
افقد الكثيد من وزني .. لكنني مَ زلت بصحه جيده
احتاجك حتى الموت ../ لكنني سَ اعيش
Box of Chocolates, Part 3. Wide Field Astrophotography is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get. The same photo on different nights can look very different. That’s one of the things I love about night photography. Here are 2 panoramas of The Mittens in Monument Valley, Utah, from roughly the same spot on different nights. There is wonderful green and red airglow on the left in the bottom photo, absent in the upper photo. I am continuing on my panorama binge, but this gives me a chance for a “two’fer”, 2 panos for the price of one (and they fit better on IG to boot). Top pano done with a 24 mm lens vertically, second photo done with a 35 mm lens vertically, each approximately 12-13 images combined in Lightroom. This lies within the Navajo Tribal Park and you need a guide to go there at night. If you are interested contact Majestic Monument Valley Tours and ask for Quanah. Hope you enjoy! Wayne
Part of the ancient Pilgrim's Way which stretches from Winchester to Canterbury. The sense of history on this route can be incredible.
un ritorno, in tre parti, alle saline di Romagna ...
volevo intitolare questa foto Aironi & Zanzare ...poi ho pensato che erano di più le zanzare ... e allora ... sono tornato alla musica che amo,
meglio Birdland ...
Birdland è una brano musicale jazz composto dal mitico tastierista austriaco Joe Zawinul e registrato dai suoi Weather Report per l'album Heavy Weather del 1977.
Il brano, pur essendo un pezzo di jazz fusion, ottenne un inusuale successo commerciale e divenne uno standard del jazz entrando nel repertorio di molte orchestre e solisti.
Divenuto un cavallo di battaglia del gruppo, contribuì a far vincere nel 1980 ai Weather Report un Grammy Award per l'album dal vivo 8:30.
Il gruppo vocale The Manhattan Transfer ne realizzò una versione vocale con un testo appositamente scritto da Jon Hendricks.
Il brano fu pubblicato nel 1979 nell'album Extensions e fece vincere al gruppo i suoi primi due Grammy Award.
Il titolo del brano fa riferimento al celebre locale di New York sulla 52ª Strada così chiamato in onore del sassofonista Charlie Parker, soprannominato "Bird".
Il titolo è quindi il tributo al locale che Zawinul ebbe modo di frequentare da giovane, all'interno del quale incontrò la sua futura moglie.
Nella versione originale Birdland è facilmente riconoscibile, oltre che per la melodia, per l'introduzione di Jaco Pastorius (probabilmente il miglior bassista di tutti i tempi, prematuramente scomparso) fatta di armonici suonati con il suo basso fretless (senza tasti).
yeaaahhhhhhh :)
p.s. provate ad ascoltare birdland dei W.R. e a restare fermi, se ci riuscite ;))
It would have been a cultural crime to go to Glasgow and not post an image related to the creative genius of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
If Chicago has Frank Lloyd Wright, and Barcelona has Gaudi then Glasgow has Mackintosh. All three were modernists bridging the gap between art , architecture and design
One of the must sees in Glasgow is the Mackintosh House in the Hunterian museum part of Glasgow university campus . Another is the amazing Willow Tea Rooms on Sauchiehall Street.the interior completely the work of Mackintosh.
Sadly the most famous and important of his buildings is no longer available to us. When Glasgows College of Art was hit by serious fires in 2014 and again in 2018 it led to the total destruction of the eponymous Mackintosh Building one of the city's iconic landmarks, of international fame. Designed between 1896 and 1909 it showed Mackintosh as a pioneer of the Modern Style (British Art Nouveau style)
The main image is part of the living room in the Mackintosh House It is Mackintosh's only surviving domestic interior in his native Glasgow. The couple lived at 78 Southpark Avenue (originally 6 Florentine Terrace) from 1906 to 1914. You enter the living room from a dark staircase and your eye is just filled with light . Everything in the room the furniture, the ceramic the light fittings were designed by the couple . They were ahead of their time in the sense that they were both equal partners in the relationship he always insisted that "Margaret has genius. I only have talent"
