Zerbrechlich, doch so schön
für eine Weile.
Du Zauberfrost, ein kleines bisschen
noch verweile.

Stanlow/Innospec from The National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port.
Long exposure version of the best conditions I've had here.
Whilst the rest of the country seemed to have clear skies and I'm completely jealous of the aurora shots, Stanlow got to have one at sunrise the following morning.
As you drive in here you can see Runcorn Bridge, up the Mersey and to Fiddler's Ferry which is where the sun is rising roughly atm so you get a good idea of what sunrise is going to be like.
Dark skies over Stanlow with just a patch of clear sky over Runcorn. The clear sky developed enough to give some wonderful colour over Stanlow's dark clouds.

I haven't taken the dog for a walk down here for some time preferring the open space of Thorton Hough up the Wirral, where she can chase her ball until her heart's content before sulking and refusing to bring it back once she's had enough.
The treats have also had to take a back seat. If you have a black labbie you will know only too well that food is their number one priority, closely followed by ball chasing, and hair shedding!
Anyway the sky looked fantastic the other morning and so a slight detour to The National Waterways Museum. The sky got more and more colourful until it turned that bright red that sometimes looks unnatural.
I took this shortly before the vividness took hold as I didn't want people to think I'd been playing with the sliders:)
Many thanks, Ade.
If I poke my head out of the front door I can see the sky over Stanlow between the two houses opposite so can often predict what the conditions will be like.
It was crimson and whilst the colour faded slightly, light fast moving cloud, and clearish skies it was a no brainer, grabbed the bag and out with a very sorry looking dog sulking and looking annoyed by yet another no morning walk coz he's off to shoot that chemical plant again. She got one later obviously!
Had my filter attachment on another camera at home so this was 66 seconds of steady hands holding a 6 stop in front of the lens. Steady hands....something I didn't have a year ago today, celebrating my first birthday sober and addiction free. Yay!
There were a lot of storms around last night at sunset and the sky was very angry looking with lightning strikes in the local area.
Too tired after the block of shifts from hell but decided to get back on the pushbike for the first time since lockdown easing and ride down to the National Waterways Museum for sunrise this morning.
OK, here he is-- the reason I got up at 5am on a Saturday, drove for an hour, and spent several hours trudging through ankle-deep water and muck. We were hoping for a more refined-looking adult, but I'll settle for this, along with a terrific set of Savannah and Swampie pics. BK Leach Conservation Area, Missouri

The best of the recent cloudless still mornings with just a hint of mist on the ship canal.
On autopilot. So much so that this is completely unedited apart from removing the dust spots.
Seems apt....
Near the famous Grand Canyon of Crimea, not far from the village of Sokolinoe, there is the Silver Stream waterfall, formed by the Sary-Uzen River. Under the rays of the sun, thin streams shimmer like silver, and this gave the waterfall its name. The Silver Streams waterfall has never been distinguished by either fullness or height (only 5.5 m), but it was considered the most poetic and gentle, sophisticated and refined Crimean waterfall. A stone block covered with moss, from which water flowed down in small streams, gave it a special beauty. Unfortunately, in January 2016, the waterfall, or rather, its peak, from which the water flowed so effectively, collapsed. Most likely, the tuff cap of the waterfall, which was 30-50 thousand years old, collapsed due to frost and complete icing of the waterfall. Now, it will take at least 10 thousand years for the waterfall to regain its "silver streams"
Вблизи известного Большого каньона Крыма, неподалеку от села Соколиного, находится водопад Серебряные струи, образованный рекой Сары-Узень. Под лучами солнца тонкие струйки переливаются как серебро, и это дало водопаду название. Водопад Серебряные струи никогда не отличался ни полноводностью, ни высотой (всего 5,5 м), но его считали самым поэтичным и нежным, утончённым и изысканным крымским водопадом. Особую красоту ему придавала каменная глыба, покрытая мхом, с которой небольшими струями и стекала вода. К сожалению, в январе 2016 года водопад, точнее, его козырёк, с которого так эффектно струилась, вода обрушился. Скорее всего, туфовая шапка водопада, возраст которой составлял 30 - 50 тысяч лет, рухнула по причине морозов и полного обледенения водопада. Теперь, чтобы водопад вновь обрёл "серебряные струи" понадобится не менее 10 тысяч лет
Long exposure of Stanlow/Innospec taken a few minutes earlier than the image I posted a couple of days ago. Again very little done to it other than removing the seagulls and dust spots.

Mount Manisty is man made from the cuttings of the Manchester Ship Canal when it was first built.
Acrylic Painting: Size 16x20 on raised canvas. Thank you everyone for all of your views, comments, group awards, and favorites. I painted this from a calendar photo. I have re-worked the painting a bit today on "October 26, 2019" to tone down the orange color on the ground. I now like it even better. I took a new photo today and I replaced my older photo. I replaced the photo again today on "November 17, 2019" because I refined a few more things on the painting.

No one knows exactly how many gods and goddesses there are in the Taiwanese pantheon. Many were once mere mortals on Earth.Almost every god, even those like the Jade Emperor who are believed to have been around for eternity, have birthdays which their devotees celebrate with gusto. Folk beliefs continue to play a high-profile role in society, Some people come to temples to have their thought uplift and behavior refined. A lot of folk rituals are also designed to bring immediate personal benefit, such as protection from disease-spreading demons or success in school examinations.
Where one can discover the illuminated splendor of Lahore Fort and Huzoori Bagh with the History by Night tour by the Walled City of Lahore Authority. Where history dances under the stars.
An enchanting and mesmerizing tour to Mughal era, like traveling in a time machine to the court of Emperor Akbar where a captivating saga of grandeur and magnificence unfolded. Renowned for their refined tastes and opulent lifestyles, the Mughal emperors orchestrated nightly spectacles that went far beyond the ordinary, embracing the extraordinary with unparalleled finesse. For the Mughals, the shroud of darkness wasn’t merely an absence of light; it served as a canvas upon which they painted a vibrant tapestry of extravagant entertainment, a testament to their sophisticated sensibilities and profound love for the arts. Immersed in a rich fusion of art, music, dance, and culinary brilliance, these imperial evenings not only dispelled the shadows but also left an enduring imprint on the pages of history.

In my mind you are
a purple orchid
Exotic, tender, passionate
and wild
Untouchable, fragrant
bloom of dark desires
Evoking my deepest thoughts
Lost in the dreamy wonder
of an eastern forest
You are there among
the whispering glades
Of soft green bamboo
Delicately embracing the moist
warm air of night
A lover of another world
Of fantasies ethereal,
yet profoundly real
Earthy, yet ether's child
My chocolate sweetness
in distant lands
A darkened flower of
refined passion
My purple orchid

White lilies are a universal emblem of purity and their elegant stature conveys a sense of refined beauty. This one was photographed last summer at the Enabling Garden in Altoona, Iowa.

La toiture de la bibliothèque Monique-Corriveau, à Sainte-Foy (Québec). Je l’ai photographiée sous pratiquement tous les angles, mais finalement je n’ai conservé que cette photo très texturée et épurée, en espérant que le savoir que renferme ce bâtiment soit aussi inoxydable que sa toiture.
The roof of the Monique-Corriveau library, in Sainte-Foy (Quebec). I photographed it from almost every angle, but in the end I kept only this very textured and refined picture, hoping that the knowledge of this building is as stainless as its roof.
