I'm looking today two hours this spectacular sunset on riverside Sava inZagreb.We have beautiful day today!
Had to share just one more shot of the wonderful phenomenon. I find it surprising that we will willingly tolerate and even relish the company of crowds when it comes to watching an athletic event or an artistic performance and yet get annoyed to see crowds when the spectacular show is put on by Mother Nature. No, I do not get annoyed by the crowds. I am not so special that I should get to enjoy this alone. I hope that those who witness this wonder develop a deep sense of respect and admiration for these beautiful places and feel compelled to protect them for future generations.
Enjoy a sensational moment from Seattle’s observation of the United States’ 239th birthday on July 4th. Seattle has never disappointed with its spectacle of lights each Independence Day. Apparently, it always ranks among the Top 5 cities in America with the best fireworks presentation. I believe it.
This year, I was on assignment for a client, and that meant getting to this location around 12 noon, a full 10.5 hours before the fireworks were to begin (a show, by the way, that’s only 20 minutes long).
I figured if I could survive 2.2 million people on the shores of Sydney Harbour for New Year’s balancing myself and my tripod on a row of bushes, I can handle a crowd in Seattle -- but a crowd is a crowd, regardless of the location. Irony of ironies, as much as I love gigantic cities, I don’t like crowds. You’d never know it, though, but I digress.
It was fun to photograph the festivities at Gas Works Park, the primary location of Seattle's holiday events. What was not fun was the sweltering 40ºC/100ºF heat as the audience increased from a few hundred at noon to several thousands by 10pm. Fortunately, I lathered myself with sunscreen lotion three times and took brief breaks to rehydrate.
Believe it or not, everywhere you see people in this photo is typically where a rolling knoll of green grass would be. Every 4th of July, one cannot see the grass of this park because it’s completely covered by humanity.
Nevertheless, the end result -- photographing the holiday’s main event -- was worth the smoldering. It’s always entertaining to hear the “Ooooohs!” and “Aaaaaahs!” from the audience in a rhythmic unison, similar to The Smurfs whenever they were in awe of what was in front of them.
What’s also interesting, as a personal observation, was that this unison of cheers often reminds me that as much as we discriminate against each other for ridiculous differences in appearance, character (and the list could go on for eons), the similarities of our behavior as a group are evident. For 20 minutes, there was nothing but mutual, fully engaged admiration for a light display.

Merci pour votre visite et commentaires.
Thanks for your visit and comments.
The Aurora over San Rafael Reef is a mesmerizing natural spectacle that paints the sky above the rugged terrain of the San Rafael Reef with vibrant hues of green, purple, and pink. As the sun sets and night descends, charged particles from the sun collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, creating a luminous display known as the aurora borealis. Against the backdrop of the ancient geological formations of the San Rafael Reef, this celestial dance becomes even more enchanting, blending the earthly with the cosmic in a breathtaking panorama.
Well, these are just my reading glasses!

Another night another image... Does anything give as much pleasure as NATURE?
From the series 'Celestial delights'. The story behind this image still makes me smile:
The seaside view from the terrace of the 10th floor penthouse where we used to live.
We’d had a very busy day in the studio and after a quick light meal, just sat there unwinding with a nice glass of cool Chardonnay, enjoying the fresh sea air, the nightlight, the sound of the water, when SUDDENLY, a first distant rumble and a flash of lightning.
We bumped each other as we both rushed inside for camera and tripod.
Set it all up, went back to our chairs and wine, and waited.
I saw it moving across the sea, opened my lens and let the camera record this fabulous lightshow of Nature.
With the cable release in one hand, wine in the other, yep, that’s the life, he?
Mind you, this was a one off, there was no rain and no danger, just this awesome spectacle.
Wonderful, great memories.
Thank you, M, (*_*)
PS:it must have been F11 and open for between 1 to 3 min.
It's done by 'feeling', if you get a lot of flashes in the first few seconds, then, you've got your shot, otherwise, you wait and have sip of wine... This here is NOT an 'exact' science, the success depends entirely on the elements!
This was the best out of three. (*_*)
