One of the coolest places I have been. Lighting was all wrong for pictures, but the area was incredible. After a very remote drive on the Navajo Indian Reservation, we had this point to ourselves and did not see a person for almost five hours. Beautiful Views, wild horses, California condors and crazy roads!
Nothing spectacular here - just a straightforward shot of Tawas Point Lighthouse. It was nice to have sunshine, blue sky, and grass that is turning green. I think we survived the Winter.

This is such a small amusement park !
But, it is still ok to walk around and see kids playing.
In my case, I jog around here at night and I see a whole bunch of small lights, so I get some kinds of amusement feelings everyday.
夜にジョギングするようになって、海に向かって走るんだけど、
ミルソンズポイントの遊園地は夜はいつもきれいなんだよね。
小さいけど１０時まで開いてるから少し気分を味わえる。
Created by Sweetlemon Jewell, this is defnetly one of the most amazing creations in SL.
It worths so very much a visit ;)
Meet you there :)

Two weeks ago, this beautiful landscape was hiding a small and quiet stream. Now everything has flooded and I guess this landscape drowned.
It was worse than anyone expected. In Belgium and especially Germany the floods caused many casualties whilst over here all lives were spared.
But the difference!
I love the tranquility and all the different hues the landscape showed and really hope these disasters will not happen too often. Unfortunately, global warming kicks in with extremes and we have to find a way to leave a healthier world for our children and grandchildren.
May all victims rest in peace.

Title is a Who song.
Note the dipping limestone pavement, just like Cressy Lakeside. Beautiful, subtle geology in Prince Edward County.
Built in 1926 and still in operation. At 67 feet above ground level and 185 feet above sea level, the light beam is visible up to 28 miles off shore.
We went up to the Point hoping to photograph some seabirds but I hadn't realised there is a very photogenic old wreck on the beach. Best viewed in Lightbox.
Taken from the vault. One of my very early shots when our small group was still complete.
I hope I can take new photos this week.
Look at him dribble. Greater Yellowlegs feeding in a tidal pool on Bolivar Flats in Galveston County, Texas.
This image was shot from the left hand side of the Zabriskie Point Overlook in Death Valley National Park. I wanted a different take on the location having mostly seen pictures that include Manly Beacon in their composition. So upon arriving before sunset, I plopped down my tripod and gave the area a once over for unique framing options. The textures in this particular area popped as the last bit of the sun’s rays danced over the tops of the formations.
I’ve been mulling over the concept of visual density recently. Surely, I’m not the originator of the concept but haven’t come across a definition so I’ll elaborate as I have come to understand it. Visual density is quality of perception. Each of us have our own tolerance level for how much visual information in a given scene we can process. Training or constant exposure to a larger volume of information allows someone to increase their visual density tolerance, consider how someone going into the FBI or law enforcement is trained to cut through all the varied visual stimuli to remember details. As a personal example, we are moving and were looking at new schools for my son Fane last week. While comparing the top two options, one of the things that came to mind was the structure of the classrooms in terms of visual information. One was full of color and literally drew the eye to the ceilings before you could hit a visual break. The other was more muted. The composition of shelving and toys was mostly wooden with nothing taped/tacked onto the walls. You visually stop at the waist as an adult. My wife and I made a decision based upon what we thought would be less distracting thus more conducive to concentration and learning. Another child might be able to process the plethora of information in the first school. So, individuals have unique tolerance levels.
As it applies to photography, black and white has less visual density than a like color image. Perhaps this is why so many architectural images are converted to black and white so the eye can move across and around without the added distraction. In this shot of Zabriskie Point, my first inclination was a black and white version that focused on the linear zig-zags of the formations. It didn’t come close to succeeding without the pull of color. Color in this case was necessary to the image’s visual density or the structure would fall apart. The eye didn’t know where to go. Maybe as a modern art expression this might work but certainly it would fail to convey the natural beauty of the scene.
