For me, presentation is part of the work, a way to voice the maker’s thoughts of his subject. I don’t think it can add appeal... perhaps more like clarity. I have begun to set some of my photographs before the public in small galleries these days and I find that imagining how something you have worked on looks to others’ eyes is as difficult as knowing what we look like if we are not looking at ourselves.

I realize there's something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they are experts at letting things go.

2 a.m. and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake

"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?

I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season"

Yeah, we walk through the doors, so accusing, their eyes

Like they have any right at all to criticize

Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable

And life's like an hourglass glued to the table

No one can find the rewind button, girl

So cradle your head in your hands

And breathe, just breathe

Oh, breathe, just breathe

I realize it may sound innocent - perhaps naive - but one of the most surprising things to me about visiting Alaska was the rich color palette of the terrain. Despite being deep in Alaska, less than 250 miles from the Arctic Circle, the sun still holds its reign over the summer climate...and with nearly 24 hours of light, the vegetation has ample opportunity to grow.

Certainly, global warming, and glacial melt plays a role in seeing the deeply colored mountain range in the distance. It was surprising to me to learn that much of the green you see along the park road in Denali is vegetation growing atop the glaciers. All-in-all, I highly recommend taking the Kantishna bus tour (11-hours) in Denali, as it is the only method of getting deep into the park, with the opportunities to see as much of the geology, geography, .and wildlife possible.

While the namesake mountain is the primary calling card of this National Park, and rightfully so, it is only seen clearly by approximately 1/3 of the park's visitors, due to the near constant cloud cover. There is so much more, in terms of the vastness, grandeur, remoteness, and ecologic importance of this region to be experienced than simply the sight of Denali looming large above the subarctic plateau.

Another shot from my wildlife fix i while stranded in Tromso, Norway.

It was pretty quick to find a couple of Eurasian Oystercatchers that were protecting a nest area that had at least 1 young chick. You couldn't get anywhere near them since the nest was on an island behind a museum, but I quickly realized they were going down shore to find food so I simply sat amongst the rocks 600 yards down shore - - I ended up with many great views but I was still typically looking down at them - - not too many eye level opportunities - - this is getting closer.

I posted the Pinky and then realized I had snagged the wrong flower from the desktop, so got this one posted it and thought the date was wrong on it to then I realized that the date of theme posted was 3/18 so 3/23 was okay....wow! what a mix up in my head tonight, DATE good, TAGS good, in the group I think!

When you realize that your friend wears your winter hat better than you do.

I learned it till it thumped my head to numbness

Yearning it would let me rest

And then I learned it more, I learned it again

And then, just when I thought I had it done

I found myself mid-mistake, realizing I’d not yet begun

I have seen the lions turn to cubs

I have seen the hunters turn to prey

Our lessons will come again tomorrow

If they’re not learned today

Looking back of the year, I realized that I was very inactive in Flickr in 2019. Greatly thanks to Flickr friends who still come to visit my Photostream, giving me favorites and comments. In the last day of this year I decided to post my 3rd picture for 2019 as a closing. Wish you all a happy New Year 2020!!

Whether you’ve realized it or not, if you’ve been to Paris you’ve probably seen the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte, at least from a distance. Napoleon is buried inside the Dôme Des Invalides at Les Invalides (officially the Hôtel National des Invalides). The bright, gold dome of the chapel reaches high into the sky and stands out on the Paris landscape like a glittering beacon. 248

Never realized before that this "Chi-ca-go", "Chi-ca-go" is the onomatopoeia for the rallying cry of the California Quails… (Don't ask me to say this prase outloud, I am French after all ) Why not "Sa-cra-men-to" or "Vic-to-ria "… I don’t know. We moved into a more rural part of the Greater Victoria last December and I am so happy to see that we have a healthy population of California Quails around here. We initially had quite a few of them in our previous neighborhood in Saanich (we lioved there for 15 years) , but they all seem to disappear over the years. Apparently, they are heavily predated by the feral cats. The number I see here right now is very encouraging and I hope to be able to photograph them in the Winter, this would be especially nice on one of those rare snowy day. This one was caught on a trail in the woods around Metchosin not around our home. Unfortunately very high ISO.

Wandering through my gallery of previously unpublished images, I realized that I haven't yet managed to keep a promise I made to you.

I spent a night in the Italian Alps on my spring trip to Tuscany.

The morning after, from my pitch, I had a beautiful view of the mountains behind which the sun had just risen.

I put this photo back at the time because I couldn't wait to get to the photos I was actually there for.

In the meantime, so many new impressions have been added that the picture has slipped backwards. Now I'm bringing it up again because those craggy snowy rocks with the golden sky in the background are worth showing off.

Even if the viewing angle from my position is unfortunately not quite as ideal.

Beim Wandern durch meine Galerie der bisher noch unveröffentlichten Bilder ist mir bewust geworden, dass es mir noch nicht gelungen ist ein Versprechen einzulösen, was ich Euch gegeben habe.

Auf meiner Fahrt in die Toskana im Frühling habe ich eine Nacht in den italienischen Alpen verbracht.

Am Morgen danach, von meinem Stellplatz aus hatte ich einen wunderschönen Blick auf die Berge, hinter denen gerade die Sonne aufgegangen war.

Dieses Foto hatte ich damals zurück gestellt, da ich es nicht erwarten konnte zu den Fotos zu kommen, wegen denen ich eigentlich dort war.

Inzwischen sind so viele neue Eindrücke dazu gekommen, dass das Bild nach hinten gerutscht ist. Jetzt hole ich es wieder nach vorn, denn diese schroffen schneebedeckten Felsen mit dem goldenen Himmel im Hintergrund sind es wert gezeigt zu werden.

Auch wenn der Blickwinkel von meiner Position aus, leider nicht ganz so optimal ist.

I realize this won't be to everyone's taste, and it was different for me as well. But I had to take it. I probably have to describe what this is, as I wouldn't even know if I hadn't taken it :)

I was walking on the outer walkway of the second floor of a building with the sun shining in from the left. There was a wooden railing to the left and the building was to the right, with windows from floor to ceiling. As I only had my Pentacon AV lens with me, and it has a fixed aperture of f2.8, I could either focus on the foreground or the background, and I tried both, but choose the foreground focus, leaving the entire rest of the image in bokeh. So what you see is the railing, the shadows from it, and the reflections duplicated in the windows at the right, with the window frames in the centre, but not entirely symmetrical. Hope that makes sense!

Lyrics:

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

The moment you realize

Those moments just pass you by

Gonna take you to paradise

Move it

Make you prove it, yeah

Breakin' out

Break it down

Feel the chill, feel the chill

Movin' down your spine

When we recall and realize

Make you realize

I've got the power to hypnotize

Make a play, mesmerize

Feel the chills up and down your spine

I'm gonna make you fly

And your eyes playin' tricks on you

And your mind will seek the truth

You know you're gonna make it through

I said, move it

Make you prove it

Shake it out

Shake it down

Feel the chill, feel the chill

Movin' down your spine

When we recall and realize, hey yeah

Gonna make you realize

I got the power to electrify

Make or break or satisfy

And feel a chill up and down your spine

I'm gonna make you fly

Fly, fly

When we recall and realize

Gonna make you realize

I got the power to hypnotize

Make a play, mesmerize

Feel the chills up and down your spine

I'm gonna make you fly

I just realized how long I haven't been to my beloved Elbe Sandstone Mountains. It's been a shocking 8 months now. I can not believe it.

Even though I've been to some beautiful places in the meantime, I really regret that I just didn't have the time.

To account for this and to remind myself that I would like to spend a day here again as soon as possible, I pull a previously unpublished photo from my archive.

The memory of that magnificent sunrise on mt. Lilienstein eases my pain somewhat and I hope the sight of the soft clouds floating over the forests and fields, bathed in an orange-pink light by the rising sun, brings you some joy.

Gerade ist mir bewusst geworden, wie lange ich nun schon nicht mehr in meinem geliebten Elbsandsteingebirge unterwegs war. Das ist jetzt schon schockierende 8 Monate her. Ich fasse es nicht.

Auch wenn ich in der Zwischenzeit an einigen wunderschönen Orten war bedaure ich es doch sehr, dass mir hierzu die Zeit einfach gefehlt hat.

Um dem Rechnung zu tragen und um mich daran zu erinnern, dass ich sobald wie möglich wieder einen Tag hier verbringen möchte, hole ich ein bisher unveröffentlichtes Foto aus meinem Archiv.

Die Erinnerung an diesen grandiosen Sonnenaufgang auf dem Lilienstein lindert meinen Schmerz etwas und ich hoffe, der Anblick von den weichen Wolken, die über den Wäldern und Feldern schweben, von der aufgehenden Sonne in ein orange rosa Licht getaucht,bereitet Euch etwas Freude.

"You were the shadow to my light

Did you feel us?

Another star, you fade away

Afraid our aim is out of sight

Wanna see us alight

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Was it all in my fantasy?

Where are you now?

Were you only imaginary?

Where are you now?

Atlantis, under the sea, under the sea

Where are you now? Another dream

The monster's running wild inside of me

I'm faded, I'm faded

So lost, I'm faded, I'm faded

So lost, I'm faded!"

I realized I hadn't posted this cub's photo and I had meant to because I thought he/she has the strangest looking face.

It's one of a set of triplets, the ones that I did the video of them walking practically right up to my cabin door and growling. You remember that, right?

This cub didn't look odd to me then but this picture, I don't know.

Just something about its face looks strange to me.

Turning backwards, it is realized that in this high point of the ruins of the Pilaloma there are other ruins of the two lateral enclosures with their doors facing the Castle. These two enclosures leave a narrow intermediate runner of 0.80m which, coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the entire trapezoid, advances to its major base. Interestingly, the corridor divides into two elongated sections equal to Pilaloma, and goes through the Wanka that marks the multiple tomb. All these elements (geometry, tomb, wanka, corridor, orientation, etc.) have led to interpret the site as a testimony of something more transcendent of the Cañari culture. Indeed, the latest archaeoastronomic studies assert that the corridor and the wanka were associated with the observation of the sun on the summer solstice, on June 21.

There was more light in this area than I realized. I'm often surprised at how different it looks when I get it in Lightroom.. I still lite the shot, it just looks different. Day light was trying to creep up on me as well.

Happy weekend everyone

I just realized the other day that I have taken quite a few photos of Father John Misty or Joshua Michael Tillman over the years but never posted any of them, which is just a thing that happens when you photograph several bands every day of a festival and have thousands of photos to go through after you haven't slept three nights straight. Anyway, Father John Misty puts on a good show and you can listen here:

i realize that i have not written much here over the past few years. and i am a writer, first and foremost. how odd, to have abandoned the opportunity to paint with words, with sounds and rhythms, offer a complement to the images. so ...

i suppose if you are the kind of person who has a predilection for words, then you will read further. if not, well, there are many images in this stream (including this one, i hope) that speak their own language. :)

i have walked this path, this sentiero. i have walked it, felt the cold autumn air wash over me, the warmth of the sun on my face. i have seen deer bounding across the crests of the hills and pheasants skittering across the surface of the deeply plowed earth, the clay, the crete senesi. i have stood in the midst of this great space, small, very small amidst the waves of autumn blues and greys. i have felt this place, experienced it. and forgotten it. it takes so little time for memories to fade. it takes a conscious effort to preserve them. i work diligently to live in the moment, so diligently at times that i forget. and while the present is the only reality, the past does provide its context, the future does offer some hope, and my memory, though fallible, is not simply a nostalgic salve to ease my aging mind. it's a part of who i am, what i am likely to become.

i have walked this path, seen it anew. and remembered.

When I realized that the sunrise was going to be better than I had excpected, I had to run to get to a better vantage point. Yesterday's and today's images were the result of my running. It was fun!

I realize most of you will think I am nuts for going back to this same UFO landing pad (trust me, me too!). When I saw the area was flooded, I had to go out for a look.

On this day, Salt Lake City set a new daily precipitation record with 0.8 inches (2.032 cm)of rain. Remember, most of Utah is a desert, so this amount of rain in one day was significant.

This area of salt is very flat, and the water was paper-thin but just enough for reflections. You can also see where the aliens collected the rocks and moved them into position to mark a safe landing for their spaceship.

Also, note the shades of green - this is seasonal. Most of the year, its yellow. So the green is another bonus.

The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

No more plans to shoot here unless a Christmas tree magically appears!

I realize that it is probably not a "barn" (probably a tool shed or work area) but I liked the title anyway. I spotted this beautiful autumn scene near Woodstock, Vermont. The light and fall colors were incredible. (Edited in Photoshop and Lightroom)

I realized I don't have any pictures. Of my mandolin here. So here it is, I also have a video playing it. On my stream as well. If you want to hear how it sounds. Or you can follow this link. flickr.com/photos/93918398@N07/49289302987/in/dateposted/

I realize how blessed I am, knowing that my grandchildren enjoy collaborating with their artworks. Good time spent, and hopefully, good memories for them.
