Spectacle in the air and reflection on the water after sunset. Photo made at the edge of the IJsselmeer at the Frisian Workum.
It seems that the light falls through the windows. A dry sandbank turned out to be a nice place to take the picture and get depth in the picture.
Use a LEEFilters nd 0.6 hard grad to get the light in balance.

The planetary flies to 40 meters from the ground in the middle of stars and fireworks.
I had planned to camp here, but it was cold and windy, with quite a few people camped down on those rocks. I figured if I was going to be cold, I might as well hike a few more miles.
encore une première pour moi car j'ai jamais fait de spectacle mais la ma petite fille danse donc Papy est la ... désolé pour les tètes de spectateurs mais j'avais une place et pas le droit de bouger .
After living in California for 35+ years, I was vaguely aware there were some air shows in the area, but I had never paid any attention to them.
After being inspired by hundreds of "plane in flight" photos from my flickr friend Roland Bogush, I finally decided I should go to an air show and take some photos.
Over a year ago, another flickr friend, Trung Tran, sent me a link to some auto and air shows in the San Francisco Bay area. I finally got around to it, by hitting two air shows back to back, one in Salinas, and the other, a week later, in San Francisco.
I came back home with over 7,000 shots, the majority of them surprisingly good. That still left me with over 5,000 decent images – it is easy to run up the numbers when you start shooting in the machine gun mode!
So the challenge was next to whittle these down to a few "best" shots worth uploading. I could probably pick a dozen or so photos that were the real standouts. But I decided to pick a larger set of photos that covered the events more broadly.
Still, after some 300+ photos over the past two months, it feels like I've been endlessly uploading air show photos, so it's time to wrap it up with these few last shots.
This was the grand finale, by the Blue Angels in their F-18's, with this star burst flight over Alcatraz.

This is the first time I've seen a Sandhill Crane taking a bath. That large bill and huge body size made for a real spectacle. Lucky they have retractable goggle eyes (nectitating membrane) to protect them from the water spray

On our journey home May 3, 2016 at Lake Pukaki in the South Island of New Zealand.
Lake Pukaki is the largest of three roughly parallel alpine lakes running north-south along the northern edge of the Mackenzie Basin on New Zealand's South Island.
The glacial feed to the lakes gives them a distinctive blue colour, created by glacial flour, the extremely finely ground rock particles from the glaciers. Lake Pukaki covers an area of 178.7 km², and the surface elevation of the lake normally ranges from 518.2 to 532 metres above sea level.
The lake is now part of the Waitaki hydroelectric scheme. The lake's original outflow was at its southern end, into the Pukaki River. The outflow has been dammed, and canals carry water from Lake Pukaki and Lake Ohau through the Ohau A power station to Lake Ruataniwha. Pukaki is also fed by the waters of Lake Tekapo, which are diverted through a canal to a power station on Pukaki's eastern shore (Tekapo B station). The lake has been raised twice to increase storage capacity (9m in 1952, and 37m in 1976 ), submerging Five Pound Note Island, which once appeared on New Zealand's five pound note.
