Entering this forest beside her was an adventure that I never imagined I could do, but today I see that everything next to you is possible and, I realize that you are not a human being, but a being from another dimension sent with the goal of making me happy ヾ (≧ ▽ ≦ *) o. All the difficult times I found myself in, I can see that without you I would not have been able to get through them, and how important you are to me. So, thank you for being one of the few people who have patience with me (～ ￣ ▽ ￣) ～ and being that person that I can always count on and that today I can call her sister, I love you <3.

Happy Sliders Sunday ( I almost missed it!)
The bicycle in the foreground most likely belongs to a staff member working in this wing of the old Mount Royal Hospital in Parkville, Melbourne. When nurses were living in the rooms up the ramp on the left, it is quite possible to imagine they also owned a few bicycles to get around with.
In its prime, this little courtyard would have been like a lovely cloister to a medical community dealing with the various needs of their (mostly geriatric) patients in the main section around the large courtyard I showed you a few days ago.

Looking close on Friday theme in front of the fence.
thank you everyone for your kind comments and faves. all are very much appreciated
I like to use f/22 to get as much detail as possible. And, the hummingbirds had already flown so I had time to change the settings. 😉

Midland Hotel….as shot through the front entrance Portico to Manchester’s Central Library.
Peter Street, Manchester.
The Midland Hotel was designed by Charles Trubshaw and constructed for the Midland Railway Company between 1898 and 1903. This is where Charles Stewart Rolls met with Frederick Henry Royce, the meeting led to the formation of Rolls-Royce Limited in 1904. During the Second World War it was alleged that Adolf Hitler had a keen interest in the hotel as a possible Nazi headquarters in Britain; American intelligence speculated the area around Manchester Town Hall was spared bombing so as not to destroy the hotel which is situated just around the corner.
One of my attempts at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "La vie en rose".
Also a little testshot for the Macro Mondays theme "My Closest" where the goal is to get as close as possible... This isn't that of course (the little pearl has a length of around 10 mm, so this is probably a 3.5:1 magnification) but way over the limit for this lens. It might not look very impressive, but I find it quite remarkable what it is able to do because I'd consider this way out of its optimum range. I have to admit I don‘t know these things too well… so if I‘m wrong on that, please correct me!

I probably should have posted this yesterday. This is Ely Ford on the "big bend" of the Des Moines River and the hardwood covered bluff to the left is Lacey-Keosauqua State Park in southeast Iowa. Yesterday was the 100th birthday of the dedication of the park (Originally called Big Bend State Park).
Ely Ford is an interesting spot. It was a crossing spot on the river for the Mormons on their trek from Illinois to Utah. We visited the park earlier in the year and couldn't understand how anyone would dare trying to cross the river here in horse drawn wagons or in some cases hand carts. However seeing the spot this fall with the water level much lower it seemed the perfect spot to ford. The river is wide here but with the much lower water level, many exposed sand bars, and low banks on both sides of the river, it seemed possible.
Orchhâ (Inde) - L’Inde est connu pour ses lumières fabuleuses qui donnent souvent des scènes merveilleusement colorées. Mais pour en bénéficier, il faut être très matinal ou attendre les derniers rayons de soleil pour capter ces ambiances « chaudes ». Du temps de l’argentique en dehors de ces heures extrêmes, je ne faisais plus de photos. Eventuellement, je m’autorisais quelques films en noir et blanc.
Avec l’avènement de la photo numérique, ces limites techniques - même pour le merveilleux Kodachrome 64 -, ont été repoussées. Les capteurs progressent d’année en année et gagnent en dynamique. Ce qui était impossible pour la diapositive, devient envisageable avec les appareils modernes.
La preuve par l’image. La photo ci-dessus n’aurait pas eu le même rendu avec une diapositive car l’homme était dans la lumière. La logique aurait voulu que le fond soit noir, sans le moindre détail, puisque j’ai mesuré la lumière sur l’homme. Le capteur et la mesure matricielle ont fait une remarquable analyse de la scène en restituant une masse d’informations qu’un film argentique n’aurait pu faire.
The art of striking a pose
Orchhâ (India) - India is known for its fabulous lights which often result in wonderfully colorful scenes. But to benefit from it, you have to be very early in the morning or wait for the last rays of sun to capture these "warm" atmospheres. From the time of the film outside these extreme hours, I no longer took pictures. Eventually, I allowed myself a few black and white films.
With the advent of digital photography, these technical limits encountered - even by the wonderful Kodachrome 64 - have been pushed back. The sensors are improving year by year and gaining momentum. What was impossible on the slide, becomes possible with modern devices.
The proof by the image. The photo above wouldn't have looked the same on a slide because the man was in the light. Logic would have wanted the background to be black, without the slightest detail, since I measured the light on the man. The sensor and the matrix metering made a remarkable analysis of the scene, restoring a mass of information that a silver film could not have done.
I have been fascinated for some time by the diversity of texture and form of the plants that grow on the roadside verges.
The problem for image creation is that all the leaves are green. However, with the latest selection tools in Photoshop it is possible to select individual leaves and treat them differently,
I am currently trying two approaches: black and white which emphasises texture; and, colour.
This is one of my first attempts using colour. I think the use of colour should allow me to illustrate the competitive nature of the enviornment.

The white-crowned sparrow is known for its unihemispheric slow-wave sleep, which allows it to stay half-awake for up to two weeks during migration. This effect has been studied for possible human alertness applications in shift work and truck driving. Amazing! Nature and the world around us have much to teach us..

My motto: try to photograph creative as possible.
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
This was basically a house money shot. I had already accomplished the scenic "wow" shots of this train, as it trundled back to Trona I debated not even taking this picture. Nothing special... but the light was great so why not. Well, good thing I ignored the impulse to be a moron, because this exact shot is no longer possible. TRC 2007 and 2009 have been cut up this past week and will never again ply the desert. Acquired in 2002, Trona would end up with 3 former UP SD40-2's. The deck was stacked against them from the beginning. To start, they were already ratty looking and were replacing some gorgeous looking SD45-2's, painted in a resplendent red and silver scheme. Then of course, they weren't as neat as the former SP units on property still sporting their scarlett and grey. Third, a more common locomotive there was not. Union Pacific rostered 1,079 SD40-2's at one time, part of the staggering 4,029 produced by EMD between 1972 and 1989. At some point though, they transcended being mundane and entered the realm of cool again. In the age of GE dominance and Tier 4 nonsense, Trona's 7 EMD's became the rock against which progress gnashed its teeth. Watching these ugly beasts climb the grade, roaring through a hellish landscape on only two steel rails as they climb nearly vertical out of the basin.... I guess they aren't so mundane after all.
“So, what are you worried about, Sky?” Asked Barnaby as the bears gathered around for the man to take their photograph.
“Quite a lot, Barnaby. Honey supplies for a start.”
“Honey supplies, Sky? What is the problem?” Asked Bertie also looking concerned.
“It all comes down to the man. He is trying different places where he gets his food from using the complonker. He uses new digits to order and while I have watched and think I have the new ones I was not sure.”
“Sky, the man had the usual van deliver his things last week, I saw it there and was waiting for our stuff but it did not come.” Said Posh Bear.
“No, it is all getting confusing. The man seems to be ordering from both the new one and the old one, which makes it difficult for me to know which one to add our things to. Anyway, I think the man is going bonkers.” Said Sky.
“I quite agree, Sky, but then we have always thought that.” Said Bertie smiling.
“No, I mean totally bonkers, Bertie. When the man had a friend around here recently, I noticed that they were both talking to a green growing plant his has. He has even given it a name and was calling it Vera and he was saying hello to it. It didn’t answer, and his friend even tried but the plant ignored them.”
“Are you sure, Sky?” Asked Posh Bear looking worried.
“Yes, they both kept on saying hello Vera to this plant. Is that weird or what? Then he starts ordering his things from two suppliers.”
“That is very strange behaviour, Sky, I agree. I wonder why he called it Vera? Why not Sky, Bertie, Theo, or Posh, like we are called? Why give the green thing that grows a name at all? All very strange, but not that important to us bears. Now, the possible lack of honey, well that is different.” Said Posh Bear.
“Luckily Posh, we have a genius at the helm of ordering, and I have taken measures to make certain that we still can order from now on.”
“Sky is such a genius.” Said Barnaby looking in admiration at his friend.
“I know, Barnaby, but as I was saying.” Said Sky
“So modest with it too.” Chimed in Bertie giggling.
“As I was saying, I am now ordering from both suppliers, however, there is a slight problem in that if they both supply, we may have a little more than normal.”
“You say a little more, Sky, roughly how much more?” Asked Posh Bear.
“Well, just in case one supplier did not send us what we ordered, I added extra to both orders. Well, I think I did for I was never much good at numbers, so, well I think we had better make extra room to store what comes.”
“So, is it fair to say that you do not know what you ordered then, Sky?” Asked Bertie.
“Well, I am not totally sure, Bertie, but if you need to know I am sure that Vera would know for she was looking at the screen as I did the ordering. So, do you speak green growing thingy, Bertie?”
“Time will tell, Bertie, we will soon find out.” Said Posh Bear smiling.

When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).
The sides of this chickentransporter are still open. In one of the coming weeks they will be changed for closed sides (due to possible frost in october and the rest of the winter period)

When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable
Take the shot, chase the sun, find the beautiful
We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold
And we'll dream it possible
Left for the pond a couple of hours ago. A bit windy, but a comfortable 76°. I saw this one damselfly, and only one. I can't be sure because I got this one close up, and have nothing to compare it to (and I'm out of practice after the smoky season shutdown). It's a bluet, and that's as far as I'm willing to go. Meanwhile, after an hour. it was getting warmer, and I decided to head home. It was 101° when I "hit" the front door. Just made it.
A new location to me that I wanted to check out. Amazing views from there, looking over Epsom golf course to the city, which is 15 miles away. I tried lots of different spots to get the skyscrapers in Vauxhall on the left in properly but just not possible with the positioning of the trees.
A simple two shot focus stack, one for the golf course and one for the city. Deliberately wanted to leave the foreground trees left and right slightly soft to give more of a draw into the city.
Thanks very much for viewing. Have a great weekend!
