Digging in the Archives Tuesday.
This is from a holiday in Austria and I now chose to make it select colour with the help of picmonkey.
This time, I shared a "scary" image for you. 😱😱😱
I thought that it was a good opportunity for using some sparkling background to emphasize the bubble-bokeh generated by my father's Pentacon. 😅😅😅
I hope that you will like the result, my friends. Stay safe and healthy and have a great weekend! 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Was during some nicer spring weather last year and just one soul decided to let some of the fresh air into their place.
Hello everyone! Apologies for my prolonged absence. It's nice to be back!!
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to visit, comment and fave - I appreciate it!
An amazing coat but who designed it and which artist was it inspired by? Wish I knew.
Seen in the Plaza Mayor, Salamanca, Spain.
At first glance, this appears to be one building, given the matching curvature of the Bendigo Bank (foreground) and Victoria Point apartments (background). I don't know if they were designed with each other in mind, or if it was just pure coincidence.
I was feeling inspired by one of my favourite Flickr photographers who is a Master of Fine Art Architecture. He always leaves just a subtle splash of colour in his work - usually just a deep navy blue.

The theme for the 18th of May for “Smile on Saturday” is “eye catcher” and the theme requires a picture of black and white with the eyes (or eye) in selective colour.
In the last three years, I have been exploring a new avenue in my photographic creativity, that of portraiture photography. I used a somewhat illusive sitter for several “Smile on Saturday” themes over that period as part of this exploration. Now, nearly twelve months ago, I was lent a vibrant blue fascinator (formal headwear worn as an alternative to the hat) acquired from a charity shop to photograph for my portraiture photography. As I had the fascinator for over a month, I decided that I would have some fun with it whilst it was in my possession and push my own creative photographic boundaries by capturing it in different lights. Thus, I captured it at different times of the day. In this case, I had my elusive model (who has rather beautiful hazel and green eyes) stand in some afternoon sun holding the fascinator close to his face so that it cast a shadow on his cheek. I’m actually quite proud of this shot, even if I do say so myself, but I was never going to use it. Little did I know that I was going to capture an image that would suit this week’s "Smile on Saturday" theme perfectly after a little bit of post production magic to make it selective colour! I do hope that you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!
Whilst I was taking a photo of this stone statue of a gamekeeper, this tiny robin came and sat on his shoulder.

The Ogden Point Breakwater
Ogden Point was named after Peter Skene Ogden (1790–1854), who was a prominent trader and explorer for the Hudson's Bay Company The piers at Ogden Point were built in the early 20th century by the city of Victoria in anticipation of a growth in shipping due the opening of the Panama Canal.
The breakwater was completed in 1916 and the piers were completed in 1918. (Wikipedia)
The breakwater leads out into the Juan de Fuca Strait to a lighthouse on its furthest end.
From the breakwater people can enjoy views of Victoria's busy harbour traffic as cruise ships, ferries, sailboats, float planes, helicopters and more pass by as they reach Victoria Harbour.
Ogden Point is a deep water port facility with four piers able to handle very large vessels. The Victoria port is currently the busiest cruise ship port-of-call in Canada

Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated near Great Ayton. Its summit (1,490 feet - 450 m) has a distinctive half-cone shape with a jagged cliff, which has led to many comparisons with the much higher Matterhorn in the Swiss-Italian Alps
In the background is Gisborough Moor
The triangulation station (Trig Point) is a fixed surveying station, used in geodetic surveying and unusually this one has two fading paintings
Commondale station is on the "Herb Line" which runs from Middlesborough to Whitby linking with the North Yorkshire Moors railway at Grosmont. There are 4 or 5 trains either way per day.
The station gardens are maintained locally and in the waiting room there is a beautiful mural dedicated to a local lady.
Commondale village is located between Kildale and Eskdale in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park
Colour is life; for a world without colour appears to us as dead.
Colours are primordial ideas, the children of light.

For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "selective colour"
Selective colour is not a technique I use, so it was quite new to me. I tried first to use a red rhododendron, but found the petals were just too difficult to carve out! I was running out of time, and then I saw an old iPhone beside the wash basin in the bathroom, with my silver cuff resting on it. I took a quick shot, hoping that the toothbrushes and taps would make a good bokeh ... so I hope it meets the rules!
