This is the bigger picture of the clubhouse. it was named "resilience prevails" as there was a fire that burned most of the guts of the building but as you can see it has prevailed and is being restored.
thanks for viewing an for all your support. have a nice day :)

During my recent winter tour to the Black Forest with Lars Kehrel and Fabian Müller we didn't miss the opportunity to visit the famous wind beech trees a the Schauinsland mountain. This is one of the few location which look great in reality but even better when you start photographing at it.
This is because with a photo of these tree you can really bring out their isolation and resilience which they need through the cold winter days. Here I opted for a radical approach: While sometimes the trees are isolated by a snow storm or heavy fog when we visited we could see the whole group of trees. By using a the right viewing angle and some heavy post-processing I did isolate my favorite tree of the group. I really like the level of abstraction you can achieve that way.

I recently visited Margriet (from Netherland) and Paula (from USA) while they are organizing activities for the children of their neighbourhood in Sibulan, Negros Oriental, Philippines.
They are teaching the children and make them draw, sing dance etc and the mothers of the children are participating too.
There will be a little Christmas party soon and we are invited so I can take more pictures and capture these nice moments for the children.
It is nice to see how much the children are enjoying these classes with Margriet and Paula :)
Another extremely nice moment in this beautiful country :)

While doing some long exposure work at Whitemouth Falls in Manitoba's Whiteshell region I spied this young sapling growing in a crack in the rocks at the river's edge. It was tricky to get the shot just as I liked to capture the motion in the water and yet freeze the leaves on the twig as there was a steady breeze that day.
Resilience: "adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma or stress". This Jeffrey Pine tree survived for more than 100 years at over 8,000' fully-exposed to extreme cold, heat, drought and prevailing wind that contorted its shape; it was finally killed by the great drought of 1976.
My photo on a very clear day on top of Sentinel Dome looking NE over the glaciated U-Shaped Yosemite Valley (Porcupine Creek), California, USA; Half Dome Peak on the right, North Dome on the left and multiple granite mountains beyond.
Straying from my usual Transport theme, but this view deserves an airing for the inspiration of this tree's survival and the sheer beauty of the Yosemite area landscape. Once visited, never forgotten.
This visit in June 1975, well before the crowds, reservation systems and pollution haze of later years.
Photoshopped only to remove the purple tinge (purple haze?) that plagues many of my slides from this era.

Hope you are doing good? I’m finally catching up with edits from the latest snow storm. It was a long wait so we had to try to get the best out of it. This is a frame just after a short break of snowfall when the skyline cleared out and we got a few moments of soft light. 5 minutes after I finished this spot was crawling with people and footprints! What do you think?
For the Through the Lens week 19 Theme of "Something You've Found" is this sculpture outside of the Queen Victoria Women's Trust on Mother's Day. It celebrates the resilience of Indigenous communities over many years. The arm and basket symbolise the strength and creativity of women of South Eastern Australia. Created by NGKM - Ngardang Girri Kalat Mimini.
I have never noticed this sculpture before as it has been a while since I was in this area of the city.

Happy Mother's Day to all mums out in Flickrland. I hope who celebrated had a lovely day today. I did and attended a wonderful Melbourne Writers Week event along with a whole lot of others. It seems rumours of the death of reading has been exaggerated! Especially in Melbourne, the city of literature! Thanks to my friend Lynne who has been a travelling companion who will accompany me on more trips later this year.
The Northumberland coast is peppered with huts on the dunes. This one particularly attracted me because of the fence either side and the ropes holding it all together against the elements.
I woke up on Thursday morning and looked outside to see the high tops of the trees swaying with vigour in the baying winds.
Immediately I typed in 'Porthcawl webcam' on my phone to see what things were looking like 3 hours from home on the South peninsula in Wales. Awesome.
I made haste and packed up the few things I needed for a quick day trip and soon after began my journey west.
When I arrived it was still very windy, but I'd forgotten one key thing - the tide. All that way! I downloaded a tide times app on my new phone and was further disheartened to see that the tide would be back in at 9pm, after sunset.
I always try and seek the positives as quickly as possible so without thinking I looked at the weather forecast for the following morning - to my delight the winds were forecast to to be even stronger!
I booked an airbnb without hesitating and spent the evening soaking in a hot tub with a couple of beers, waking up the following morning to a plastic bin strewn across the decking outside the pod I was staying in. I was hoping for more dramatic scenes at the lighthouse...
And lo be told, that's just what thou saw!

The Bonsai Tree at Fairy Lake on Vancouver Island is a bit of a photographic institution. A small tree growing out of a submerged log has attracted photographers from all over the world for years - and for good reason. We woke up very early on an incredibly chilly November BC morning, and drove just over an hour from Sooke for sunrise to beat the crowds. There was no dramatic sunrise, and no crowds, and for 2 minutes, we had this beautiful mist cascading along the lake, that disappeared as quickly as it came. It was one of my favourite moments of 2023. I stayed there submerged in my boots for over an hour, but this, my first shot, was the one that stood out for me. I can't wait to come back again to this magical place to see what awaits me.
About 4.8km in from the Square Rock carpark there's a junction with a track heading off to the South. I don't remember it climbing quite so much. In fact, I recall it was flat. But I don't think I've been on it for maybe 25 years and a lot can happen in that time — like the two out of control bushfires that have ripped through here. The track might be steeper now but the destination is the same — a ridge overlooking Ororral Valley.
The 2003 and 2020 fires killed a lot of even the largest trees up here. It was easier to get out onto the boulders perched on the edge for a view down into the Orroral Valley; another of that collection of SE-NW trending valleys that dominate the central part of Namadgi National Park. Now there's a mess of ankle-snapping tree fall and larger trunks to scramble over. Those still covered with a glaze of frost warned to take care! Once negotiated, this ridge will be the highest point on this walk.
Though the deadfall has compromised the amenity and safety of this little deviation it has also created little protected nooks. This one has been taken up by a fern which has, resiliently and in spite of the fire and the cold set itself up in a protected and, at least in this moment, more sunny spot.

Feelings of excessive demand easily take over in difficult times. Right now, times are tough. And so these challenges cause the surrounding's former vivid colors to gradually fade into a uniform gray. As slowly but surely no day differs from the other, frustration starts to spread.
Therefore, it might be tempting to let out the frustration because this promises relief. However, this redemption is often too short-lived. Though it might seem pretty challenging, working on patience and resilience might be the better solution in the long-term. This way, the danger of fully burning out can decrease enormously.
I stood beneath this giant and looked up — and for a moment, I felt small in the best possible way. There was something grounding about its strength, the twists in its limbs like old wisdom reaching toward the sky. It reminded me to stay rooted but still stretch, to hold steady and grow anyway. Funny how a tree can say what words often can't.
It's one thing to be told you're strong and another thing entirely to feel it
