I am a "mountain" person. This scene took my breath away. I know I don't do it justice in this shot, but the picture reminds me standing there on a cool morning while my worries are put on pause.
Vitruvian Park in Dallas--trees lit up along canals. A crisp night, fingers freezing in spite of gloves, bundled up and toting my tripod. Long exposures, then fun dressing it up with Photoshop. My Christmas tree is lurking in there, too, and twinkle lights from a single tree in the park.

Sometimes we’re able to plan a specific photograph, and leave almost no room for coincidences or misfortune. Also, sometimes we just explore some locations and see whatever the day and the light gives us (probably my favorite!). But there are times where you just happened to be at (or very nearby) a location that you want to shoot for some time and you just have to accept the given circumstances at the time. This is the type a lot of hobbyists like myself have to deal with every now and then, and so it was the case at this quite beautiful spot at Zierikzee. On a time window of only half an hour I was trying to make the most of this ‘golden hour’ that never came. The sun was going down behind the tower, just on the right side, but I didn’t even see a glimpse of it. So the result was a nice moody sky, but a very dark subject. Then rain started pouring down and I had to look quickly for a shelter. But after a few minutes, the rain stopped and suddenly some beautiful reflected light from the clouds behind me appeared on the city gate. I was amazed by the difference it made to the scenery and although the wind was blowing significantly, I was able to get a nice reflection by using a 6-stop nd filter. So at the very last minute I luckily came away with a decent photograph. Eventually I was a bit late for the sports tournament I participated in, and where I had to be in the first place. But hey, you’re a photographer or you’re not!
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

In recent weeks I have been working on a project called Reflected Petals. This has involved taking a top-down image of a flower and then using mirror distortions to create a symmetric design. If the starting image has plenty of detail and some colour contrast you get some really interesting results.
I’ll eventually get around to sharing the outcomes of the project here on Flickr (though I have already published pictures like this over the years).
Ironically this particular image is not part of the main project, but something I did last night when I was bored and desperately trying to think of something to do for Sliders Sunday today. I should have really been going to bed…
Normally I would use the Distort > Mirror filter in Affinity, but here I used the Chromebook running an Android app called Mirrorlab. This program is great fun to play with (if you like that sort of thing), but you soon drift far away from visual reality…
This image is based on a picture of an ox-eye daisy that I published here seven months ago. The quickest way to get a suitable starting image on to the Chromebook last night was to download it from Flickr. I’ll publish a link to the in-camera image as usual in my first comment.
I like this result because of all the woven petals - that’s not an effect you would get in Affinity. Like a lot of these distorted images, most of the beauty comes from the original flower, and the repetition and distortion encourage you to look more closely at what nature has already achieved.
I hope you enjoy it anyway. Normal, undistorted service will resume tomorrow :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Sliders Sunday :)
From the right - not visible in this picture - a large low cloud front approached, reflecting the light of the setting sun and covered the landscape with an exceptionally soft and warm light.
Von rechts - auf diesem Bild nicht sichtbar - näherte sich eine grosse tiefstehende Wolkenfront, die das Licht der untergehenden Sonne reflektierte und die Landschaft in ein ausssergewöhnlich weiches und warmes Licht hüllte.
