This is another option for today's Macro Mondays theme "Speckled", but I am not sure if this can be considered speckled.

“Sand Patterns” — Patterns in sand dunes, Death Valley National Park.
Our main photographic targets on our late-February trip to Death Valley were Lake Manly and the impressive wildflower bloom. But we did schedule one morning for a visit to the sand dunes. We arrived well before sunrise — it was still to dark to see our way into the dunes. Unfortunately, this was not going to be a morning for grand dune photographs, since morning overcast blocked the sunlight. So instead we focused on more intimate subjects — plants and flowers, the morning traces of the passage of wildlife, and the textures of windblown sand.
I’ll break with the tradition of the these posts and write a bit about a technical photographic topic. A challenge of photographing the sand is that, unless you photograph straight down or fine a suitably slanted bit of sand, depth of field is a problem. I use a solution that surprisingly few photographers seem to apply. I have a tilt/shift lens adapter for my landscape camera that lets me attach a medium format zoom lens and use the adapter’s movements to angle the pane of focus to match the surface of the dunes.
Not my usual type of subject. Nevertheless, Quite a breathtaking new build of the Liverpool Library, in an old preserved shell. Well worth a visit if you've not been before and are in Liverpool. This view, looking directly up to the glass ceiling dome from the entrance hall, is just one of many spectacular perspectives. I'm quite pleased with the result.
Te Kuiti NZ - Not being able to get out still so archives are delved into. This is from last year when we traveled south for a close friend's funeral. The rock formations are wonderful. This is LOTR territory! The rock is called greywacke and is mined for roads.

UN PARTICOLARE DELLA CITTA' VECCHIA.
Il centro storico di Valencia coincide con il distretto Ciutat Vella: in valenciano vuol dire "città vecchia" e comprende i più importanti monumenti storici. All’interno della Ciutat Vella sorge il famoso Barrio del Carmen, cuore della vita cittadina e centro del divertimento notturno.
Tra i quartieri del centro storico ricordiamo La Seu, zona di Valencia in cui sorge la sede storica della Cortes Valencianas, l’organo legislativo della Comunità valenciana. Ne La Xerea invece spicca la Basilica de la Virgen de los Desamparados.

Just something that caught my eye this morning on my walk. I’m not even sure if this would be considered a repeating pattern, but that was the title that was stuck in my head for this image. :) Getting out early in the morning with my camera is turning out to be a highlight for me. Even if I don't get any photos, I love the quiet and the light. You’ve probably noticed that I also love to find beauty in ordinary things. It’s out there! You just have to open your eyes (and heart) to it. <3
