. The Nautilus represents the perfection of nature, reminiscent of the ancestral sea. A symbol of increasing evolution, it is a metaphor for the stages of life. The spiral as self-fulfilment.

After 120mm or right at 5 inches of rain, the sun came out and we had a perfect day in Port Macquarie.

Winter perfection ❄️

This striking red barn stands out beautifully against the snowy landscape in Fife Lake, Michigan. I captured this same barn a few years ago during autumn and it still looks fantastic! The owners are definitely keeping it well-maintained, and absolutely exudes rustic charm. ❤️

The Stiftsbibliothek St. Gallen (Abbey Library of Saint Gall) is a marvelous Rococo structure constructed between 1758-67. Baroque was superseded by the Rococo style. When we went there we spent hours in awe, and completely forgot to eat lunch.

 

From Wikipedia: The library collection is the oldest in Switzerland, and is one of earliest and most important monastic libraries in the world. It holds 2,100 manuscripts dating back to the 8th through the 15th centuries, 1,650 incunabula (printed before 1500), and old printed books. The library holds almost 160,000 volumes, and most are available for public use. Books published before 1900 are to be read in a special reading room.[3] The manuscript B of the Nibelungenlied is kept here.

 

It is not allowed to take photos because the old books cannot handle bright light. Even if you would ask visitors not to use flash many people still would leave the flash on, so their rule is understandable. I asked what the process is to get permission as a photographer to take photos. I met the person in charge and they were so kind to arrange short noticed a 30 minute window after the closure time at 5pm. I did many long exposures, naturally avoiding the flash light.

 

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from two RAW exposures, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance.

This beautiful scene occured at the end of a rainy day which cleared up just on time to light up the sky with all sorts of stunning pastel colours.

Where'd you get the notion you're only human?

You know there's a dark place

That will make you something more

I could sell a one-way to absolution

To the wholly abstract

Where we'll never drift back ashore

 

[Chorus]

I've been living on the far side

I've been leaving footprints in your mind

Tell me all your secrets

I could be your key to the afterlife

Feel the rhythm in my cold heart

I could make your soul a work of art

Just a touch of heaven

Walking with the dead makes you feel alive

 

[Verse 2]

We could take a ride on the road to paradise

You'll abandon your bones

For a desolate home away

Have you seen the watcher's castle born of ice?

It's a comforting hold

For the wandering souls to stay

 

[Chorus]

I've been living on the far side

I've been leaving footprints in your mind

Tell me all your secrets

I could be your key to the afterlife

Feel the rhythm in my cold heart

I could make your soul a work of art

Just a touch of heaven

Walking with the dead makes you feel alive

 

[Bridge]

Oceans away from home

Deep in the danger zone

I'll carry you

Skipping the pain of death

I'd like to steal your breath

And make you new

 

Live beyond this divide

I promise you the other side

Abandon light inside of you

You're ascending now

And breaking through

Nothing living is ever true

 

[Chorus Finale]

I've been living on the far side

I've been leaving footprints in your mind

Tell me all your secrets

I could be your key to the afterlife

Feel the rhythm in my cold heart

I could make your soul a work of art

Just a touch of heaven

Walking with the dead makes you feel alive

 

I've been living on the far side

I've been leaving footprints in your mind

Tell me all your secrets

I could be your key to the afterlife

Feel the rhythm in my cold heart

I could make your soul a work of art

Just a touch of heaven

Walking with the dead makes you feel alive

Sometimes you just can't ignore them.

If I've ever captured the quintessential beach shot, this is the one. This was taken at Ponce Inlet by the jetty. It was a picture perfect day.

Two steps too far / I realized I had come

to perfection almost. // The wheelbarrow / could have been my companion / except for these two steps.

Gostei tanto de como ela aproveitou a camera fazendo Carinho no moreno dela .

 

I really like the way she used the camera in her favor. The light was too much I think on these one.

 

Photography is a great uniter of countries, cultures, neighborhoods, families and friends. I’ve started a group named Photo-Phactory. Please share your best images with me.

Not often I post a shot on the same day I took it but today is that day. I had certain photographic plans but the day was autumnal perfection, just a light breeze, beautiful blue skies, just cool and a fabulous atmosphere demanding of a change of plans. So we still went to Sandgate which is only ten minutes down the road and then Woody Point over Redcliffe way and shot the world as it passed by more or less during the best time of year.

 

No perfection about this shot but you get the idea - the jetty at Woody Point is a place to add your love locks. We liked these which we spread out to get this endearing message. Some diamonds or whatever in the water as well. Love is forever!

 

As an aside, we did this once in the supposed city of love, Paris but you just wrote on the things in Nikko Pen. I guess if the expensive locks they sold were master keyed, they could recycle them when they faded (yep, I have a suspicious mind)! Sadly for all those proclaiming their love this way, it seems the bridge got so overloaded with metal, parts of it fell into the Seine! There must be a lesson in that somewhere! Probably, love isn't necessarily forever.

 

A note from google about the bridge problems in 2014, a year after we attached our lock (there was still a little space!)......"A section of the metal mesh on the Pont des Arts footbridge over the Seine in Paris collapsed last night under the weight of the thousands of "love-locks" attached to the bridge by couples. The bridge was immediately closed to the public and was under repair today".

The shapes and the lines of this sculpture stop me for long times before continue to walk.

 

Need particular attention for a God.

This butterfly let me get so close I couldn't do a square crop. This is a SOOC shot except for denoising and the crop.
