The treacherous hornby Rapids. This seemingly impossible sandstone wall was said to be inspiration for some of M C Escher's famous drawings (although the source of this rumour is unreliable).

A completely reworked version of this image, including some valuable feedback from Adam Williams.

I took a punt and entered it in the Better Photography Image of the Year competition, Creative Flair section. It was awarded a Silver and finished in the top 50. A very pleasing result.

Had a talk with my old man

Said, "Help me understand"

He said "Turn 68, oh, you'll re-negotiate"

"Don't stop this train"

Don't for a minute change the place you're in

And don't think I couldn't ever understand

I tried my hand

John, honestly we'll never stop this train"

Cause now I see, I'm never gonna stop this train

Never gonna stop this train.

Stop This Train - John Mayer / Where The Light Is (Live in Los Angeles), Cd 1 / (2008)

.....

I have always lived in houses, which were very close to the sea and also very close there was a railway line. I have always liked to see a train pass or hear its sound. When I was little and left school, we would go to the railways, close to home, to throw stones at the freight wagons of the freight trains that came down and brought salt from the Súria and Cardona mines, to be loaded onto ships in the port of Barcelona. In addition to throwing stones at it, we counted the number of wagons the locomotive was carrying. Possibly, this train loaded with salt, its schedule was around 1 noon and not at 2:10, like the song written by Albertano and sung with that special voice by Taj Mahal, whom I consider the best bluesman, with permission from B.B. King.

We spend a part of our childhood on the railroad tracks, between abandoned wagons and freight trains. And the port and the sea in summer. Unforgettable days.

There was a day, when several locomotives united, transported many wagons. We count more than a hundred. They seem like a lot to me, but the mind of a child, when he is a child, is a little messy. They talk and think in such a way that it seems they are a little crazy. But they are not. I don't know if it was really more than a hundred wagons that we counted. Possibly we miscounted. But that day... that day was a truly unforgettable "orgy" of stone throwing.

On this railway line, some people died who did not hear the locomotive arrive. And even some person committed suicide, stretched out on the tracks while the railroad came at full speed, without the possibility of stopping. While i'm listening to "Mystery Train" by The Neville Brothers, with this lilting rhythm, imitating the sound of a railway, I remember the kind locomotive driver, who when he saw us, he would sound the train's horn, say hello to us and reduce the speed of the locomotive, so that we had more time to throw stones. We were not hooligans. We were just... children playing .

Never let a train get away from you. And much less, those trains that suddenly appear and cross our lives. Get on all the trains you find, even if they are mysterious... because life is a mystery train, you never know where it will take you.

.....

Cause now I see, I'm never gonna stop this train

Never gonna stop this train.

Well I woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine.

Til I hear the 2:10 train.

The melodies and the chants of the Armenian liturgy date back when Armenia, the first country in the world adopted Christianity as a state religion in 301 AD., becoming the first officially Christian state, ten years before the Roman Empire. Obviously the first religious chants, following the tradition, were initially transmitted orally and then with an ancient practice of notation called "Neumes" in Armenian "Khaz.” It was only later in the 19th century that these chants were transcribed in modern European notation. My photo today for MM is a small Hymnal book of the Armenian Liturgy published in 1911, in the printing house of the Armenian monastery on the island of San Lazzaro in Venice, reproducing the chants and canticles using the ancient practice of the Armenian Neume notation.

Le melodie e i canti della liturgia armena risalgono a quando l'Armenia, il primo paese al mondo ad adottare il cristianesimo come religione di stato nel 301 AD, diventò il primo stato ufficialmente cristiano, dieci anni prima dell'Impero Romano. Ovviamente i primi canti religiosi, seguendo la tradizione, furono trasmessi oralmente e poi con un'antica pratica di notazione, chiamata “neumi", in armeno "Khaz". Fu solo più tardi, nell’Ottocento, che questi canti furono trascritti con la moderna notazione europea. La mia foto di oggi per MM è un piccolo libro d’Inni della Liturgia armena pubblicato nel 1911 nella tipografia del monastero armeno dell'Isola di San Lazzaro a Venezia, che riproduce gli inni e i cantici utilizzando l'antica pratica della notazione armena dei Neumi.

Strong ripples in the sand at Balmoral Beach.

A local beach that I have been to many times .. but this was the first time for a sunrise with photographic intent.

A nice low tide exposed some great features along the edge of the harbour, including these strong ripples at the edge of the rock pool.

It's the classic view of San Torini and often published before...but.....

This simple scene took my fancy. Just simple lines and shades.

North Narrabeen

Queenscliff Tunnel.

The wormhole (also known as the Queenscliff Tunnel) was constructed in 1908 by local fishermen as a shortcut through from Manly to Freshwater beach to the north.

I have been meaning to get to this location for a while now, and finally had an opportunity early on Friday morning.

This is actually quite a low and narrow tunneel - definitely a solo shooting oppotunity.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

Check out some of my best sunrise, sunset, and twilight shots at Foto Betiko.

Sunrise in Moll del Petroli (Petrolium dock), Badalona.

Simple shot in Manual mode with 416 seconds (7 minutes) of exposition. A double filter (Haida ND3.0 and Haida ND1.8) was used.

This shot was taken and published in 2019, being processed under the display-scene workflow. Now I repeated the process under the scene-referred workflow and version 6 of the Filmic module in Darktable. The result is much more realistic.

Some of the best images I took at the Cathedral Gorge state Park were I positioned the cliff walls against a clearing sky just before sunset. With these images, I found that there was no sense of scale, adding mystery to the landscape. In reality, they were only about 20-30 feet in height, but with erosion patterns mimicking much larger landscapes in the southwest, they looked like massive towering structures. Nevertheless, I had some fun finding the best-looking ones and placing them against the rapidly clearing clouds.

AND it's a bakery--breads. This view shows the bakery work section, which is why we don't see any big pizza ovens. My son straightened me out on this. This is also adjacent to the sales, shipping , and carry out section, which may explain some of what we see.

While I did not get a chance to get inside the park and do the scenic drive at Red Rock Canyon NCA, the viewpoint on Red Rock Canyon Road provided some expansive views of the Mountains that make the area special. I am not a geologist by any means, but even I could see the different types of rock formations as you scan the mountains. The moment I got here, I knew I wanted to take a panorama shot and didn’t even bother with my wide lenses and only took the 70-200 with meI ended up taking this image by stitching together around 7 or 8 pictures at 70mm. While I wanted to go even more tele, shooting at 70mm was the only way to include the clouds to the frame.

One interesting dilemma I faced at this location was keeping the frame level. Generally, I am a stickler for keeping the horizon level and going through pains to get the image leveled correctly. I also did that here, but when I stitched them together, they looked off so much that it bothered me. So I went back to google maps and looked at these rocks and realized that my images were indeed level, but the rock formations and their horizontal streaks mess with the eyes when you see it in a panorama image. So reluctantly, I had to rotate the image around 4-5 degrees to make it look more natural. I have to say this was the first time I have done something like this, and it felt weird.

It was to good to be true, but right after sunset a secondary small non severe thunderstorm started to brew just to the southwest of Kearney.

Even though I just had a spectacular afternoon of some incredible stormscapes, I was in for a treat this night. An electrified thriller, one storm that I wont soon forget.

After spending the night at Mintos Hut altitude 4,290 meters (14,075 ft), on our ascendant to point Lenana, this was early morning view of the peaks before the cloud coverage.

The plants are Giant Groundsels (Dendrosenecio keniodendron) and are endemic to the high altitude of the Afrotropic.

This has been scanned from a Kodachrome transparency.

portrait from vietnam

“Quando si fotografano persone a colori, si fotografano i loro vestiti. Ma quando si fotografano persone in bianco e nero, si fotografano le loro anime!”

– Ted Grant

Pubblico oggi questo ritratto eseguito in Vietnam nel 23 e che ha partecipato ad un paio di selezioni internazionali e che pertanto, non potevo pubblicare prima. E' un veterano che ho incontrato ad Hanoi, dove ora vive. Nell' album " Portrait " c'è un'altro scatto della stessa serie.

I am publishing today this portrait made in Vietnam in 23 and that has participated in a couple of international selections and therefore, I could not publish before. It is a veteran that I met in Hanoi, where he now lives

In the album "Portrait" there is another shot from the same series.

The lives of the rich and famous. Clifftop vantage points along Balmoral Beach, with views of the sunrise over middle harbour.

Unlike other coral fungi we've found near the cottage, this one is poisonous.

I'm combing through this year's photos one last time before retiring them from the hard drive. This image was uploaded to Flickr on Dec. 30, 2021.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

John Ray wrote the first proper bird book in the English language in 1678 (though he published the same work in Latin two years earlier). There were earlier books that referenced birds, often with a more general natural history theme, but Ray's was the first devoted to birds. In this first bird book Ray gave three names to this species; "The common Barn-Owl, or White-Owl, or Church-Owl". So one name referred to its unique owl colour, and two referred to its habitat preferences. Interestingly Ray gave the name "Ivy-Owl" as an alternative to our Tawny Owl, and I usually find them roosting in Ivy. The next major work on birds was Thomas Pennant in 1768, though it was a more general work on Zoology. Pennant coined the term warbler used for so many of our birds, and he often led the way for the selection of the accepted British name. But Pennant backed the wrong horse in this instance and chose White Owl. Later authors were reluctant to lose Barn Owl and often kept both names, such as William Yarrell in 1843. He listed both names but in his text showed a clear preference for Barn Owl, and the BOU officially adopted Barn Owl in 1883. So that is why a bird that nests freely in holes in trees, nest boxes on posts, and a variety of old buildings, has become linked to barns. Before I leave the names, the name Screech Owl was widely used and pre-dates Ray as it was first used in 1593. And Barn Owl does indeed screech. Have a listen on xeno-canto: www.xeno-canto.org/604167 , but the name Screech Owl has been adopted for different species of owl in America.

I photographed this hunting Barn Owl recently not far from my home while I was out for an afternoon walk. It was hunting over an abandoned grass field. You can see by the bramble over the wall that the field hasn't been used for some time.
