which I created for today's Looking Close on Fridays: objects in pastel colours
If anyone has tips for achieving pastel colours in photos I'd be happy if you would share them, having tried everything I can imagine and not feeling very successful!
( I could not tone down the orange in the first shot and I find the turquoise beads a little too pale in the second. An interesting challenge, hoping to learn! )
“October had tremendous possibility. The summer's oppressive heat was a distant memory, and the golden leaves promised a world full of beautiful adventures. They made me believe in miracles.”

Waiting for adventures.... believing in miracles ♥
Center of a mill stone at Waterloo Village, which, for now, has become a daily stop on my way home from work, because I know that all too soon... it will be dark when I leave work and then I'll have to go looking for a new distraction (or get up a whole lot earlier and go on the way TO work! .... yeah, that's not happening!)
"Summers had a logic all their own and they always brought something out in me. Summer was supposed to be about freedom and youth and no school and possibilities and adventure and exploration. Summer was a book of hope. That's why I loved and hated summers. Because they made me want to believe."

“But then, life is a constant withering of possibilities.
Some are stolen with the lives of people you love.
Others are let go, with regret and reluctance and deep, deep sorrow.
But there is compensation for lives unlived
in the intoxicating joy of knowing that the life you have
- right here, right now - if the one you have chosen.
There is power in that, and hope.”

I have a heart big enough to grant a second chance.
But I don't have a mind stupid enough to grant a third.

"macro mondays" halloween possibility
"The line_up is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The“liners” are made out of paper (Din A3),
oil paint and graphite, the theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers."

Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
The moment of observation is the real find ...
Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
The meaning of all this is the process!
Find someone who inspires shooting the camera!

Often we are visited by thoughts that may reveal something unknown ... Our mind many times tries to solve a problem with known methods ... This is its main mistake! The path of the heart opens the doors that appear in our path. It is a pity that not everyone has the courage to insert the keys that are always with us ...

Lakhta. This small village on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland, about 15 km north-west of the city, is the birthplace of human settlements on the banks of the Neva. It was in the territory of Lakhta that the remains of a man’s camp of three thousand years ago were found.
In official documents, the settlement named Lakhta has been dating since 1500. The name is derived from the Finnish-language word lahti - "bay". It is one of the few settlements that has not changed its name throughout its 500-year history. It is also known as Lahes, Lahes-by, Lahes and was originally inhabited by Izhora. In the last decades of the 15th century, Lakhta was a village (which indicates a significant number of its population) and was the center of the same name of the Grand-Ducal volost, which was part of the Spassko-Gorodensky pogost of Orekhovsky district of Vodskaya Pyatina. In the village there were 10 yards with 20 people (married men). In Lakhta, on average, there were 2 families each, and the total population of the village probably reached 75 people.
From the marks on the fields of the Swedish scribal book of the Spassky Pogost of 1640, it follows that the lands along the lower reaches of the Neva River and part of the coast of the Gulf of Finland, including Lakhta Karelia, Perekulyu (from the Finnish "back village", probably because of its position relative to Lakhta) and Konduya Lakhtinsky, was granted royal charter on January 15, 1638, to the possession of the Stockholm dignitary, General Rickshulz Bernhard Sten von Stenhausen, of Dutch origin. On October 31, 1648, the Swedish government granted these lands to the city of Nuena (Nyenskansu). With the arrival of the Swedes in the Neva region, Lakhta was settled by the Finns, who until the middle of the 20th century constituted the absolute majority of the villagers.
On December 22, 1766, Catherine 2 granted the Lakhta manor, which at that time belonged to the Office of the Chancellery from the buildings of palaces and gardens, "in which and in her villages with yard people 208 souls" to her favorite, Count Orlov. Not later than 1768 Count J.A. Bruce took possession of the estate. In 1788, the Lakhta manor with its wooden services on dry land (high place) and the villages of Lakhta, Dubki, Lisiy Nos and Konnaya, also on dry land, were listed there, in those villages of male peasants 238 souls. On May 1, 1813, Lakhta was taken over by the landlords of the Yakovlevs. On October 5, 1844, Count A. I. Stenbok-Fermor took possession of the Lakhta estate, in which there were then 255 male souls. This genus was the owner of the estate until 1912, when his last representative got into debt and the nobility was established over the estate. On October 4, 1913, the count, in order to pay off his debts, was forced to go into incorporation, and the Lakhta estate became the property of the Lakht Joint-Stock Company of Stenbock-Fermor and Co.
After the revolution, Lakhta was left to itself for some time; on May 19, 1919, in the former estate of the Stenbock-Fermor estate, the Lakhta sightseeing station was opened, which lasted until 1932. In the early 1920s, sand mining began on the Lakhta beaches, and the abandoned and dilapidated peat-bedding plant of the Lakhta estate in 1922 took the Oblzmotdel department under its jurisdiction and launched it after major repairs. In 1963, the village of Lakhta was included in the Zhdanovsky (Primorsky) district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg).

First, my apologies for bringing up a political subject in a forum that some feel should be devoid of political opinion.
I spent today reflecting on the merits of public lands in the U.S., and the potential outcome of turning over Federal lands to the states, and subsequent sales of those lands to private individuals and companies. The possibility of this transfer is more realistic today with the recent bill passed by the House, making it easier to transfer Federal land to the states, and the inauguration of Donald Trump.
The view in this photo is on Federal land, but is within 1/4 mile of evaporite ponds that cover a significant area near Moab Utah (earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=83905&eocn...). The ponds are used to concentrate potash, a potassium bearing mineral used largely in fertilizer. (BTW my father was one of the chemical engineers who consulted in the construction of this plant in the early 1960's, so my early well being is tied in small part to its existence)
Clearly the current use of this land has merits in enhancing food supply for humans. However this area is also heavily used for recreation. It is conceivable that this area would be used to enhance the production of the potash mine, and become one of the next evaporite ponds., which are already quite visible from Dead Horse Point, the high point on the mesa in the center of the skyline. Access to this scenic area and the White Rim road may also cease. It would enhance the profits of the company that operates this mine, and may increase the supply of potash, of which the U.S. produces about 2% of the world's production. It would also seriously compromise the aesthetic value of the area. Is the loss of public access to this land, and the loss of tourist money worth the benefits to greater potash production? This is only a hypothetical possibility- as far as I know there is no plan for increased use of the area for evaporite ponds, but it provides a reasonable scenario, given the sentiment in the Utah state government.
My hope is that those in power will properly weigh the pros and cons of use of Federal lands, and the potential for transferring those lands to the states. Let's keep public lands public. Let's also remember people need to make a living. The two are not antithetical.
Photographic note: this is a 3 photo stack to enhance the sharpness throughout.
Another glorious Wednesday afternoon on my way home from Work; I really do feel privileged to take this route to and from work most days of the week. Very similar to the week 34 shot which was chosen to be in Explore; in my opinion this is a much better shot, better light and colour. Must admit to a bit of cowardice, the weather forecast for Saturday is not good; rain and even the possibility of sleet. Suppose that's what they call April Showers!
spring comes late in wisconsin. these daffodils are in my backyard garden, ready to bloom, entangled with each other, just as we humans—everyone on earth—are interconnected. we’re vulnerable, real, and brave. ready to bloom in ways yet unknown.
Part three of four
Things were starting to happen a bit quicker now as the sun slipped below the horizon, hence the ND filter came off
There was a fellow Tog, from Cannock, stood next to me as the sun went down. We were both excited at the possibility of some real colour after the two grey days we had had. As so often happens the sun dipping below the horizon is the beginning of the real colour not the end. A final choice of position and a matter of waiting to see what happens.
HMM-- the theme for today, 7/15, is "patterns in nature" and this is one possibility for posting :)
HCS-- food macro
Appeared onto explore - Thank you so much everyone!

A different photo from the same day as my 2 previous shots. After warming up in the car a few minutes I decided it was too beautiful not to take a walk and get a few more shots along the river.
Possibility for Smile on Saturday's theme "small part Sharp". The feather is about three inches long (if all was in focus).
I've known about the possibility of a Tin Tabernacle in a place called Knowle for a while but it really wasn't feasible to just go and find it (its over a two hour drive) and it isn't actually near anything else we were going to. We were en route to a place for a visit this weekend and I thought it might be able to be seen with a little diversion.
Mrs K who usually comes along on these jaunts was still ecstatic after spotting a tin tabernacle before I did in the North East of England last year but can generally be described as 'ambivalent' about the prospect of finding yet another rusting corrugated building. As we approached where I thought it was, I drove past and said something along the lines of 'oh no, I've gone past it' to which she replied 'no you haven't, its up there'. Confused, I stopped the car and hopped out only to find that there are two what appear to be tin tabernacles within a few metres of each other. I did a quick web search and some chap has posted a shot of the two of them on something called (I think) Geograph. I had a rough idea about one of them but definitely not the other. From what I can gather this one might be called the Primitive Methodist and is definitely disused. The other one looks in good condition and I think is Knowle Mission Room. I couldn't tell if its still being used - or indeed what it is being used for. I'm pretty careful about clicking on dubious weblinks so the info might be out there but I'm just not going to access it. And to be honest, I'm not that interested in the detail - I just want to get a photo and tick it off the list.
I really like this old place. The best bit? On the far left is a little replica in the same materials that looks like it was used as an outside toilet! Or if you live in certain parts of the world and don't like the word toilet - lets call it a washroom then - except I doubt there are any 'washing' facilities in there! And probably not an actual toilet either!
The two Knowle TTs are #34 and #35 on my quest to see as many of these wonderful little places as possible.
The macro monday theme for tomorrow, 12/13, is bottle and this is another blue bottle. I don’t know if it will be my choice.
There will always be door that are open for possibilities, not one, but more than one. Whenever one feels depress should look again at the options or should create one option rather than giving up.
When i was in Dunedin, we got a nice sunrise but in the wrong direction of the piers. I originally thought this was a nothing shot, but my mum liked it.
i originally had a couple of exposures that had been affected by bright light, and so i stuck one up against my window at work, and kept staring at it, so struck by the blue colours of the sky and water reflecting through it. over time, i've really come to like it.
I'm not sure why, but this shot has little criss cross patterns over it, its happened to a few shots and I'm not completely sure why
