This was a very difficult shot for me. I was in Chicago in 2002 with friends and my then new Olympus IS 20 film camera. This fountain is in front of the Navy Pier, and spurts intermittently. I wanted to take this shot, but the timing has to be perfect. My friends were ready to go to Sears Towers, and I did not have all the time on earth, I was low on film, and yes, did not have a "Preview" button on my film camera. I braced myself and took 3 shots and this is one of those. One out of three isn't that bad, right?

Green fir tree overhanging a back garden fence with a view to the stop sign further along the backstreet.
The bus stop for the 770 which travels from Harrogate to Leeds through Thorner Village.
Just in case anyone thinks its a fabulous sunset, its not. The lights in the sky are lights from towns in the distance polluting the night sky. There are no street lights in Thorner village.
The village appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Torneure" (also "Tornoure") means "thorn bank". The ancient parish of Thorner covered 4400 acres in the wapentake of Skyrack in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The parish included the townships of Scarcroft and Shadwell, which became separate civil parishes in 1866 (wiki)

I can probably count the number of times I've used a 6 stop filter on one hand and that excludes the thumb. This is partly because I'm too lazy to calculate the amount of time required most often resorting to guesswork but also because I never seem to find the right kind of image in the right kind of light. Today was slightly different however, the trees were still, the mist was rising, the water swirling and there was really only one thing preventing me from having a go...I was on a barge! 9 shots straight in the trash but this one crept through.
Thank you for pausing :)

A shot taken outside the Adelaide Goal. This railway track has no barrier throughout so anyone can just walk onto the track but of coz not when the train is coming :P This track links to the main train station where maintenances or repair of the carriages are carried out.

Standard 3 exposures shots (-2..0..+2EV) handheld using the Canon kit lens EF-S 18-55mm lens and a polarized light filter
Photomatix
- Tonemapped generated HDR with detail enhancer option
Photoshop
- Added a layer effect of 'curves' to slightly increase the contrast
- Added a layer effect of 'saturation' of yellows for the sun reflection & greens for the grass
- Applied dodging for the railway crossing pole & sign
- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer

This belongs to my little nephew. He was so happy that I was using it. A bit too happy 'cause he forced me into taking pictures of his other toys too.
Over the weekend we went to nearby Hakone Gardens, a beautiful Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. The wooden arch bridge is a center piece, inviting you to stop and reflect.
I processed a realistic and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

After an eventful four days on the river it was time to get back to civilization. VIA's Sudbury-White River service has at its core always been about connecting the remote communities of northern Ontario. The "flag stop" train allowing passengers to hop on or off just about anywhere in between - and so of course that's what we did - throw a red life jacket on the front of the canoe and wave while #186 eased into Pogamasing beneath the towering rock cuts (view from the top pictured here flic.kr/p/2qxHr8L).
Veteran Budd RDC-4 #6250 leads the way, built way back in 1955 for the Canadian Pacific and is acting as the baggage car for the trip. The RDCs are perfect for this type of service being able to stop quickly and accelerate rapidly, while doing passenger speeds in between. It will be interesting to see how much longer these are in service, but it was a pleasure to be able to both ride and capture them in their element over the course of the trip.
One final aside, the back track here is 100 lb rail from Algoma Steel dating back to 1932. There are a number of these backtracks on the Nemegos and White River Subs that used to house specialized school cars dating back to 1926. Commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Education, the CPR brought the schools on rails to children living in remote areas with students attending classes for five days straight before being given three weeks of homework until the train's rotation returned. Apparently the school cars registered near perfect attendance with students who went on to traditional schools and universities excelling. These were retired in 1967 with over 4,000 students having received their education on the rails by then.

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now (Official Video)
Disfrútalo. No te pares.
Hoy, hace justo 15 años, me diagnosticaron un tumor, del que tuve que ser intervenida y tratada durante 15 largos meses, y que me dejó en el limbo.
Durante ese tiempo, aprendí a dejar de lado aquellas cosas que hasta ese momento tenían relevancia para mí, para pasar a apreciar esas pequeñas cosas, cotidianas, inverosímiles que hasta ese instante, no había podido apreciar, saborear, admirar y “degustar” con placer, la brisa, la gente, las flores, un desayuno, una charla con tus vecinos, un achuchón de mami, los besos de mi pequeña, detalles a los que estamos tan acostumbrados, que los dejamos pasar….
Alguien, a quien quiero mucho, mi mejor amigo y magnífico doctor, me dijo, “no permitas que se hunda tu alegría”.
Lo último que escuché cuando entré en quirófano, fue este tema de Queen, que me puso un enfermero de quirófano “Don’t Stop me now”. Cuando salí de la UCI, dos días después, lo primero que ví, fue a una pequeña de nueve años con la cabeza rapada comiendo un trozo de sándwich. Esta foto va por la pequeña. A los tres días, un compañero de ese enfermero, nos puso “We ‘re the champions” de Queen.
Y mientras, me vuelvo a sentir como aquel día, y la vida sigue y no se para…. No dejes que se vaya tu alegría
Enjoy it. Do not stop.
Today, just 15 years ago, I was diagnosed with a tumor, for which I had to be operated on and treated for 15 long months, and which left me in limbo.
During that time, I learned to put aside those things that until then were relevant to me, to go on to appreciate those small, everyday, unlikely things that until that moment, I had not been able to appreciate, savor, admire and "taste" with pleasure. , the breeze, the people, the flowers, a breakfast, a chat with your neighbors, a hug from mommy, the kisses of my little girl, details that we are so used to, that we let them pass….
Someone, whom I love very much, my best friend and wonderful doctor, said to me, "Don't let your joy sink in."
The last thing I heard when I went into the operating room, was this song from Queen, which an operating room nurse put me "Don't Stop me now." When I came out of the ICU two days later, the first thing I saw was a nine year old with a shaved head eating a piece of sandwich. This photo goes for the little one. Three days later, a colleague of that nurse put us “We‘ re the champions ”by Queen.
And in the meantime, I feel like that day again, and life goes on and doesn't stop….
Don't let your joy go

Shot with Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Canon 50mm f/1.8 II
I am back home, after a trip with some complications.
I got hit by the third snowstorm while travelling within the past 6 weeks, what are the odds?
The first delayed my arrival in the US by one day, the second would have almost got me stuck on the highway when taking a bus to Detroit and now the third that almost got me stuck in Chicago. Luckily, it only delayed me by 6 hours.
Now its time to get adjusted back to german time. At least germany is at least a tad warmer than the U.S. =)
Today shot is one that I took on 5th Ave in NY, and I especially enjoyed the tension that was created by the smoke. Yes, that is real smoke =)
A holiday pop-up from Winners at 400 Front Street West in Toronto, featuring the bold message “STOP WONDERING” from the Stop Wondering. Start Gifting. campaign. The oversized installation briefly transformed the sidewalk into an immersive seasonal retail experience.
Our first stop on our road trip was Lower Antelope Canyon near Page, Arizona. Last year we went to Upper Antelope Canyon. These slot canyons are amazing. Thousands of years of wind, sand and rain created these canyons. The textures, colors and shapes are just amazing. Compared to the Upper Canyon, this one is much more difficult to manuver through. I wish I could have watched Mike Jones squeezing through some of the tight spots with all his gear!
In August of '97 a flash flood caught tourists in this canyon. Eleven people drowned. Seven were from France, 2 from the U.S., one from England and one from Sweden. I can only imagine how terrifying it must have been.

Photographed trough the window of our car, driving in the direction of Mount Robson Provincial Park, Canada. I'am always astonished when I see this, why they are not using traffic lights?
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
This was a fantastic storm that chased me from Madison, Nebraska to Fremont.
The storm just rolled along as you could hear the thunder clap across the plains at each stop I made to shoot a few photos, then blaze on ahead of it.
Good times
Please, please, stop the killing of innocent people, poor little children .... It's a tragedy ....
Russia should be ashamed of their government .... we certainly are!
How can a situation like this happen in the Twenty first century, it's like the middle ages.
Makes me cry when I think of this horror happening in Europe.
Let's hope peace returns once again very soon.
Love & Peace! Everyone
