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.

As the air thickens with smoke and we all sit and wonder what is next... we realize we just need to breathe....

please note I may not be able to post for a bit due to fires in our area but I will be back ♥☺

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

This owl flew to get away from me but, surprisingly, looped back and flew right back towards the utility pole near where I was standing. Thus, it apparently forgot what it was doing. It flew right at me until it got very close, realized its error and pealed off, giving me in-close side shots too. I wish that this kind of behaviour were more common.

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!

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!!

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!

Crazy Tuesdays - "holes". Thought I would go a bit crazy with the theme this week. Never realized there were so many holes around us.

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:

"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 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.

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

It´s no shortcut to church, but I guess that is my destination anyway.... eventually.

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.

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.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

After a pretty exhausting day in the South of Iceland with visits to Seljallandsfoss, Skógafoss and Solheimajökull, we actually wanted to stretch our feet and enjoy the evening in our camper van at the campsite in Vík. On our way, however, we passed the parking lot that is the starting point for the hike to the famous plane wreck at Solheimasandur. Knowing we still had approximately 45 minutes to hike, we looked at the clock and realized we might make it in time for sunset, so we gave it a try.

We grabbed our heavy camera bags and began a hike through seeming nothingness, only passing a small plant here and there growing amidst the black gravel. Some people were already returning to the parking lot and we we through: How can you leave just before sunset? Anyway, we were glad because this meant fewer people will walk into our composition or climb on the plane, which some of the remaining tourists actually did when we finally arrived.

To our surprise, there were very few people left and we still had a couple of minutes left to find some compositions before the sun set. Due to the lack of clouds in the sky, it was clear that the most promising opportunity to improve the image would be a sunstar, so I tried several positionings with this one being my favourite. Even more exhausted, we then walked all the way back and were very happy when we finally arrived at the campsite in Vik pretty late, which was also the reason why we didn’t make it for sunrise at Reynisfjara the next day, but I guess you can’t have it all. Hope you like it! :)

Happy Blue Monday 😊😊😍

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

I suppose I don’t realize how often I make comments about cows when I’m in the car with Norm… which makes me wonder what it would be like if I were ever to see a transcript of my own running monologue.

Perish the thought.

We were out near Cambridge and, as I’ve mentioned in the past, Norm is especially good at exploring backroads (and finding his way out of them too). We had passed a few farms and I must have said something about looking for cows and he asked, ‘What is it with you and cows?’ I wasn’t sure how to answer that exactly because, after all, most of the time cows just stand there in the field munching. I expect it’s something about their big faces I like...or maybe it's the influence of those Elsie commercials when I was a kid.

So each time Norm saw cows he’d stop the car and I’d check to make sure the farmer wasn’t around, suspicious that I was from some government agency sneaking about early on a Sunday morning.

As it happened, the only ones suspicious of me were the cows.

if they're the right one, you won't have to tell them not to cheat, to unfollow their exes, or to respect you when you're not around. you won't have to teach them how to treat you at all.

you deserve better.

"And that is when I realized, I had so much within me to share, to love and to be thankful for. I could conquer the world with just my smile, apart from my art and stories. Through my solitude, I can be happy and love myself as much as I love others, always..."

P.S. I finally decided to finally put an end to this series. I started this August 28th 2020 and today is ironically Jan 27 2021, it took 4 months to bloom. If you look from the beginning to the end of the album, you will see a surprising transition. This last picture was completely unexpected. I will thank 8f8 Creation for that little note on the Retracing Joy - Bathroom Essentials. And for all other cute messages in most of his creations, they are so uplifting! I also borrowed Sapphy to pose for me because she always reminds me of what is essential. I didn't expect I'd use someone else for this series but it sort of fits.

Here is a summary of the series.

~ Balance

~ Distraction

~ Fear

~ Helpless

~ Jaded

~ Linger

~ Nightmare

~ Paralyze

~ Reality

~ Timeless

Fw: P.S. Part of my series called "Abandoned" This is the end of the series. What a way to end this. :)

when you realize something truly remarkable is happening and disappearing right in front of you, if you can pass a camera before your eye, you’ll tear a piece of time out of the whole, and in a breath, rescue it and give it new meaning.

While driving along the Kings Canyon we realized it was only a couple hours to sunset. Importantly we had not decided any place where we wanted to get the sunset. For a change it was drizzling all afternoon and I was thinking of getting some nice post-rain clouds for the sunset. We finally decided to drive back to Sequoia and get the sunset at the Moro Rock. It was about an hour away from the Kings Canyon National Park.

As we arrived at the spot after climbing like 500 stairs, we were greeted with this awesome view. This is the west side where all the magic was happening.

The stairs go right to the top, an exasperating climb but completely worth the effort. At times a bit unsafe as the railings are absent, but no biggy! Excellent place to watch stars if you stay late on the top. This was taken from about half climb where there is a small balcony put out to watch the wavy valley.

The windy roads down the valley looked tempting. I instantly wanted to get the light trails of the cars driving back from the NP. I stayed up late and tried many exposures before I was sure about the settings. About 20min after the sunset I started to see the trials in 3-4min exposures but still the top of the photograph was too exposed. Had to wait a bit more for the light on the top to get less intense. The worry was the valley can get too dark! This was my third and final shot with a 6min exposure after the sun was completely down. Eventually, I realized its only a 15min window when the light is right to expose the shot right and get the trails distinct enough to stand out of the scene. The lights in the back is Visalia and Tulare.

Will post a few more shots from a day before.
