My exhibit, Symphony of Seasons, is currently on view at The Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite Village through July 12, 2025. While this particular photograph isn’t included in the exhibit, I made another composition just moments later—a vertical frame with a whisper of light catching the mist. The curator preferred that one. But I’m drawn to the stillness in this horizontal version.

Cracow is a gold mining township in Queensland, Australia 485 kilometres from the state's capital city Brisbane.
A grazing and gold mining town, with the Cracow homestead just south of the town, Cracow was part of the Dawson River cattle run in the late 1800s, and in 1875 three itinerant fossickers were permitted to work the Cracow area where they found indications of the gold ore, but were lured away by the rush at Ready Creek.
In 1916, Johnny Nipps found a nugget six miles from the homestead. Prospector Charlie Lambert from the Charters Towers district investigated the find, opened the Warrego reef and found some promising ore. He discontinued to volunteer for service in World War I with the 1st Australian Imperial Forces and saw active service in France. Helped by a government prospecting sustenance scheme, Lambert returned to work the Warrego in 1931 with Bill Reynolds. They crushed £4,000 worth of gold from fifteen tons of ore, and called the reef “Surprise”. In seventeen years Cracow produced 275,000 ounces, a good yield for a small working.
The Golden Plateau Mine was for many years the only significant gold producer in Queensland apart from the Mount Morgan operations. Operating continuously from 1931 to closure in 1976.
In 2004, Newcrest Mine rekindled gold prospecting in the area, with the mine now operated by Evolution Mining.
There’s some dispute as to why pastoralist John Ross named the area Cracow back in 1851. Some say it was in reverence to the Polish who had fought valiantly for independence, while others say it was the sound of a cracking whip.

G'day g'day ladies and gentlemen.
Here's a really new shot for you all. I took a brief outing from work for a short photo walk the other day and got a few decent ones. I've always used auto focus, but the auto focus on the x-pro2 is pretty hit and miss, so this was the second short walk in the last week when I was trying my hand at setting a manual focus for the situation and mostly just ignoring it. The second outing was definitely better than the first!
And although I'm kind of tired of the whole super contrasty black and white thing, I'm also still drawn to it, especially when editing my shots. Hoping to have some more colour and different shots for you all again soon, but I also really liked this one. So hope you all enjoy. Cheers.

White Roses symbolize.......
Purity, Secrecy, Innocence, Reverence, Worthiness
One of the oldest varieties of rose, Rosa Alba or the white rose has been a favorite of all civilizations, ancient and modern alike. White roses symbolize purity and innocence. Brides traditionally wear white and the Pope wears white on holy days. The white rose is the perfect emblem of innocence, loyalty and purity. From almost pure white to shades of ivory, white roses are the perfect choice for bridal bouquets, corsages and dramatic arrangements.
Ce n'est qu'à partir du moment où le soleil tire sa révérence que le spectacle pyrotechnique son et lumière du cracheur de feu prend tout son ampleur !

Bathed in the golden hush of a Hawaiian sunset, a lone figure stands at the ocean’s edge—where sky meets sea, and silence becomes sacred. The waves whisper, the clouds glow, and time seems to pause in reverence.

i watch her hand drift up the contour line of a soft ridge just to the right of this frame. . .
"do you think any one would even know if we climbed her from this side in winter?" she asks - almost whispering
"no one except us. would it matter?" I yell into the void (why's she speaking in whispers)?
two gloved fingers press against my lips "shh" she whispers (why is dad so loud)?
we finished our lunch in silence, stepped into our skis and pointed ourselves toward camp, the car and home.
In the world of mountains
Humble and uplifting at the same time, hardly anything in nature inspires as much awe as the sight of mountains.
It does not matter how many mountains you climb or how high your mountain is, but if you can see the beauty in them.
Climb the mountains and feel the good energy. Peace in nature will flow into you like the sunshine that nourishes the trees. The wind will refresh you, the storm will fill you with power, and all your cares will fall away from you, like autumn leaves.
Hiking is the most perfect way to get around if you want to discover real life. It's the way to freedom.
To the picture:
The Matterhorn is 4478 m above sea level, one of the highest mountains in the Alps and Europe. Because of its distinctive shape and its climbing history, the Matterhorn is one of the most famous mountains in the world. The Matterhorn and Switzerland are inseparable. The giant of the mountains is a symbol and a landmark at the same time. The picture was taken on a full moon night, shortly after sunset. It was a moment of strong emotions. My heart and soul were so touched by this powerful nature.
Come with me together to a place full of harmony. Enjoy the peaceful music.

Peggy's Cove is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margarets Bay in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality, which is the site of Peggys Point Lighthouse (established 1868).
The first recorded name of the cove was Eastern Point Harbour or Peggs Harbour in 1766. The village is likely named after Saint Margaret's Bay (Peggy being the nickname for Margaret), which Samuel de Champlain named after his mother Marguerite Le Roy. There has been much folklore created to explain the name.
One story suggests the village may have been named after the wife of an early settler. The popular legend claims that the name came from the sole survivor of a shipwreck at Halibut Rock near the cove. Artist and resident William deGarthe said she was a young woman while others claim she was a little girl too young to remember her name and the family who adopted her called her Peggy. The young shipwreck survivor married a resident of the cove in 1800 and became known as "Peggy of the Cove", attracting visitors from around the bay who eventually named the village Peggy's Cove, after her nickname.
The village was founded in 1811 when the Province of Nova Scotia issued a land grant of more than 800 acres (320 ha) to six families of German descent. The settlers relied on fishing as the mainstay of their economy but also farmed where the soil was fertile. They used surrounding lands to pasture cattle. In the early 1900s the population peaked at about 300. The community supported a schoolhouse, church, general store, lobster cannery and boats of all sizes that were nestled in the cove.
Many artists and photographers flocked to Peggy's Cove. As roads improved, the number of tourists increased. Today the population is smaller but Peggy's Cove remains an active fishing village and a favourite tourist destination.
Roads and several homes were badly damaged at Peggy's Cove in 2003 by the extensive flooding that accompanied Hurricane Juan, which also damaged the cove's breakwater. The breakwater was further washed away by Hurricane Bill in 2009, allowing waves to seriously damage a home and gift shop, and washed away one of the cove's characteristic wooden fish sheds.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world. – John Milton
Have you ever thought – in life we receive a lot more than we ever give. Yet, it is easy for us to remember about things we wanted but haven’t got yet, plans that were planned but haven’t worked out yet etc. But you just reading this, shows you are among the gifted – who got to learn to read, have the will to read, probably have the basic needs met and among the the ones who have WiFi or mobile with a data plan. If nothing else, just the probability of you even existing now at all comes out to 1 in 10 power 2,685,000. Basically, the odds you even exist is zero. Yet you exist.
Realize the miracle you are and yet how wonderfully insignificant you are. Be thankful… live… live a life filled with Gratitude :)
No matter how mighty and grand the temple was envisaged, the entrance to the ‘garbh grih’, like any other temple, was kept low enough for even the emperor to bow before he sought blessings from his deity.
Brihadisvara temple, also known as Peruvudaiyar Kovil or Rajarajeswaram, was built under the reign of Raja Raja Chola I between 1003 and 1010 CE.
