Artistic framing of a beautiful blossoming Almond tree set against a backdrop of rustic stone architecture.
Characterized by its dense cluster of pale pink to white blossoms, these trees are among the first to flower, signaling the end of winter and arrival of spring in various regions worldwide.
Almond trees thrive in light, well-drained soil, specifically in the mountainous regions of Saint Catherine in South Sinai. The blossoms are delicate and range in color from white to pale pink.
Historically, this tree holds significant cultural and spiritual symbolism in the region, a classic symbol of awakening, hope and new life.
The central placement of the tree makes it the undisputed focal point. The strong diagonal lines of the stone walls and pathway lead the viewer's eye towards the tree and into the scene. The framing by the walls creates a sense of depth and enclosure.
The color palette is dominated by the warm, earthy tones of the stone, which contrast nicely with the delicate white and pink blossoms and the patches of green foliage. The natural lighting appears soft and even, highlighting the textures of the stone and the intricate network of branches without creating harsh shadows.
The overall mood is tranquil and serene, capturing a moment of natural beauty within a structured, man-made environment. The image evokes a sense of spring and renewal in an arid landscape.
The inclusion of the stone path on the right acts as a leading line, drawing the viewer's eye into the background and providing a sense of place and depth.
The photograph excels in its textural contrast. There is a palpable tactile quality to the "rough, scaly" tree bark and the "cracked, weathered" surface of the stone blocks. These details create a "sense of touch" for the viewer, making the scene feel grounded and realistic.
The image evokes a sense of tranquility and the arrival of spring, as almond blossoms are known to be one of the first fruit trees to bloom, often signaling the change of seasons.

This shot seems to be one of the ones that I think would be quite hard to recreate, especially with the positioning of the surprise seagull. Although, what surprised me more than that, was the fact that the seagull had flown into the image, just about on the focal plane, despite being at F2.8 giving it a narrow opportunity of placement as well. Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark 2.
Spotted in the window of an abandoned house, Isle of Soay. Soay is a small island near Elgol, Isle of Skye.

Placement: The Ísafjörður town is the biggest and oldest settle- ment in the Icelandic Westfjords, with a population of 2.600 people.
The kalij pheasant is closely related to the silver pheasant, and the two are known to hybridize. The placement of the taxa L. l. lineata and L. l. crawfurdi has been a matter of dispute, with some treating them as subspecies of the kalij pheasant and others as subspecies of the silver pheasant. They have greyish legs as in the kalij pheasant, but their plumage is closer to that of some subspecies of the silver pheasant. Additionally, as the silver pheasant, L. l. lineata and L. l. crawfurdi are found east of the Irrawaddy River, a major zoogeographic barrier, while all other subspecies of the kalij pheasant are found west of the river (L. l. oatesi, a subspecies of the kalij pheasant, has sometimes been reported as occurring east of that river, but this is incorrect). Based on mtDNA, it was recently confirmed that L. l. lineata and L. l. crawfurdi should be regarded as subspecies of the kalij pheasant.

193. Clancy, 3yrs 30wks
Saturday Morning Post comes to you live from the rain-drenched hills of Mer Bleue. Actually, this rise is the remains of one of the islands that existed thousands of years ago in the Ottawa River, which has now migrated half a dozen or so kilometers north of here.
Dad and I love walking in the rain as much as any other time, really, me because rain or shine I don't care as long as I'm outside, him because it makes for a nice change of atmosphere for photos, as long as it's not coming down too hard--he's always worried about his camera, though it's been completely faithful over the years.
Bye 'til next week!
Mer bleue, Ottawa, ON
P.S. Dad had posted a second photo for our SMP but it was deleted by Flickr's Aviary Editing program when he tried to add my name (A Clancy (Pants) Photo) to it. Needless to say he was not happy--though of course we have it backed up in our archives--because he is very careful of his choices and positioning of said photos in his photostream, specifically Saturday pics, as they are placed in chronological order to reflect my age. It is the second time this has happened, and he has heard, and it can plainly be seen with a quick perusal of Explore picks, that Flickr does nothing to encourage the placement of bold script or stamps on photos. And though a quick look above will confirm that my name could not be considered bold by any means, he wonders if Flickr has somehow contrived to throw the occasional wrench into their script program to discourage this, or if they simply couldn't care less about addressing the problem.
Adding my name with a different editing program before uploading is the answer to this, of course, it's just that we started with this one and doubt we could replicate it with anything else, and we like it the way it is.
Anywho, he will not upload the photo again, except possibly later for a Tuesday Throwback, as we would have had to delete this one as well and start over.
Clancy: Okay, Dad, you had your say yesterday (if you didn't see it, he posted a sad photo of me temporarily with a complaint about this), and this today, so now it's time to drop it, right? Right?
Dad: Oh all right.
Shot at the same location as yesterday's river view...
This may be a challenging image. We all want to see detail in wildlife shots, and this isn't about detail. It's butt-simple by design, yet immensely complex due to the layered textures: a dense stand of Red Alder through a telephoto lens, with a million falling snowflakes (each one different, they say) filling (clogging?) the gap between camera and subject. Almost abstract, but not. Definitely a sense of "otherness".
And the placement of the Bald Eagle, at the intersection of imaginary horizontal and vertical "thirds lines", was intentional. I've been known to rant against blindly adhering to rules, so let's say this conforms to recognized principles of visual design.
Tomorrow, a little further up the road...

We have tons of goldenrod growing nearby and I have always wanted to get a decent capture that showcases the weed. Wait a minute!! How did this character get into the scene? Sorry, but I just had to return and take some more shots of this herd before their departure, and there was some goldenrod included in the capture. He is an intimidating presence and when I am stand on ground that is at the same elevation as he is on, you get an idea of the size and presence of this impressive specimen. I never got the impression that he was a threat because he never lowered his head or made any type of threatening move toward me. I got the impression that he was just looking for food and checking out the curious character on the opposite side of the fence. He could have taken a swipe at me on a number of occasions if he would have wanted a piece of me, but always seemed to be very even tempered. I might add, that his attitude changed the minute that some feed was dropped into the trough some time later. It wasn’t my presence that concerned him, but the presence of any of the other cattle in the herd that came close while he was trying to feed. He’s not the largest bull in the herd, but he IS THE dominant male. Texas Longhorn Cattle photographed in the southern part of Harris County in Texas.

Any news, Perkins?
Nothing's gone in or come out, sir.
How about on the radio?
No word yet. Wait a minute! I'm getting something!
What is it?
Oh my god! it's the most awful screaming! it sounds like manic banshees from hell!
Great! The product run-out is a smash!
Product?
They found the new double-stuffed chocolate cookies! They're killing themselves over them!
And that's. . . good?
We've got a hit, Perkins. Good work. The board will go ape. There might even be a promotion in it for you. Maybe.
What about the. . . er, casualties, sir?
What about them? Stay in your lane, Perkins.
Yes, sir. Of course, sir.
Lone Pine, California is a wonderland of landscape beauty with many wonderful compositions just minutes away. Lone Pine Creek cascades through the Mt. Whitney Portal in a series of beautiful waterfalls. On this day the temperature was below freezing and the rocks were crusted with ice as the water continued to flow. The ice was a beautiful addition to the falls and an obstacle for getting a good placement of my camera to photograph them. With a good tripod and a few dry rocks, I was able to capture this one.

The male made several trips to gather sticks for the nest. This time they closely check the placement of the stick.
Thanks so much for the visit!
Room-filling wooden sculpture "Neo-Nature", Futurium, Berlin
"Neo-Nature
We live in an environment made by humans. This "new nature" (neo-nature) is constantly being transformed by our actions. If we allow ourselves to be more inspired by nature in shaping the environment, fascinating results can be achieved. The large wooden sculpture shows what this can look like. It gives the impression of a growing, natural structure because its appearance is based on an assemblage of tiny organisms. The shapes of the individual wooden elements were calculated by an algorithm in such a way that a complex, unique object could be formed from only eleven different wooden components. The sculpture is thus the result of a close interplay between nature and technology. Technology also played an important role in the assembly process: The artisans used augmented reality glasses to virtually visualise the correct placements of the 2,000 wooden elements and 11,500 metal parts." (Futurium, Berlin)

There's no disguising what this is or what I've done with it!! Apart from some of the filter work done using the Nik Software suite - particularly the vignette blur tool.
