Goldenrod galls revisited! I washed the dust off these today and reshot them. These things are calling to be made into an abstract quilt!
Confession: I did position this leaf, but I liked the effect of the light shining on it. Have a happy Sunday!

A shuttlecock is a high-drag projectile used in the sport of badminton. It has an open conical shape: the cone is formed from sixteen overlapping goose feathers embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather. The shuttlecock's shape makes it extremely aerodynamically stable. Regardless of initial orientation, it will turn to fly cork first, and remain in the cork-first orientation. The name shuttlecock is frequently shortened to shuttle; a shuttlecock may also be known as a bird or birdie. The abbreviation cock is rarely used except in a jocular sense, due to its vulgar connotations. The "shuttle" part of the name was probably derived from its back-and-forth motion during the game, resembling the shuttle of a loom; the "cock" part of the name was probably derived from the resemblance of the feathers

Rain washes everything, even the remnants of fires and destruction and leaves a glimmer of hope everywhere

This picture is a mirrored water reflection and results in this surreal scene. The low autumn sun must have provided this breathtaking water reflection. The mirror image looks like the original and appears in the overall view as a new independent object.

Unwirkliche Szene -- Freies Schweben:
Dieses Bild ist eine gespiegelte Wasserspiegelung und ergibt diese surreale Szene. Die tiefstehende Herbstsonne muss für diese atemberaubende Wasserspiegelung gesorgt haben. Das Spiegelbild sieht aus wie das Original und erscheint in der Gesamtbetrachtung als neues eigenständiges Objekt.
Wintry weather back in the UK this week end! so I'd thought I'd stay with the theme for fence Friday and Sliders Sunday HFF & HSS!! everyone. I'll be catching up with you all over the weekend :) x
I was taking a walk through Stanley Park and Coal Harbour in Vancouver on a sunny, but chilly day. I stopped to shoot the harbour and skyline behind it. I suddenly thought of Ali de Niese and her beautiful multiple exposures and thought that technique might work here. I set my camera for nine exposures and shot, moving the camera just a bit each time.
I sent my completed image to my friend, Andrew www.flickr.com/photos/ajhaysom for a critique, and his immediate reaction was that it reminded him of Ali. To me, that was a confirmation that I was on the right track. Ali's work is here: www.flickr.com/photos/alideniese/albums/72157700184839901
So even though I can't come anywhere close to what she was able to do with her camera, I wanted this image to be a tribute to a wonderful woman and very creative artist and photographer.
RIP, Ali - we will miss you.
HSS!
Personally I love this man made organic composition, it is an architecton with the dominant, it is the urban model abstract worked by nature. What do you think?
The light was awful when I took this, so it's very heavily processed.
I persevered, because I liked the composition. Oh and it's the
Shropshire Union Canal, just of the A5 east of Telford. A hundred yards
from the road and hardly anyone ever goes there.

EXPLORE Worthy, Mini Challenge 14 - HALLOWEEN (Art from 2016)have a good Halloween everyone.Figures from pixabay rest by me .PS oil ,texture onone perfect effects.Just a bit of fun for Halloween.
Sometimes nature creates really spectacular moments and often I am totally surprised by them.
It was the same this time. I was at the beach in Nienhagen on the Baltic Sea to photograph the sunset. But a thick band of clouds moved in front of the sun shortly before and the light was gone. So I packed my stuff and headed back to the car.
On the way back, at a point with a clear view of the water, I looked back briefly and was overwhelmed.
Just before the sun reached the horizon, it managed to break through the clouds and greeted me again, blood red, over the waves.
You can't imagine the stress this sight caused. Throw off the backpack, set up the tripod, change the lens and take pictures. All in a maximum of 3 minutes. There was no time to pay attention to photographic subtleties. Such a sun is not waiting for me.
When I finished the first photo, I was able to relax and watch her sink into the sea.
The day could hardly have ended better.
Manchmal erschafft die Natur schon wirklich spektakuläre Momente und häufig werde ich davon total überrascht.
So war es auch dieses Mal. Ich war am Strand von Nienhagen an der Ostsee um den Sonnenuntergang zu fotografieren. Doch ein dickes Wolkenband schob sich kurz zuvor vor die Sonne und das Licht war weg. Also packte ich meine Sachen ein und lief zurück zum Auto.
Auf dem Rückweg, an einer Stelle mit freier Sicht auf das Wasser blickte ich kurz zurück und war überwältigt.
Kurz bevor die Sonne den Horizont erreicht hat schaffte sie es durch die Wolken hindurch zu dringen und grüßte mich noch einmal blutrot über die Wellen hinweg.
Ihr könnt Euch den Stress nicht vorstellen, den dieser Anblick ausgelöst hat. Rücksack abwerfen, Stativ aufbauen, Objektiv wechseln und fotografieren. Alles in maximal 3 Mintuten. Um auf fotografische Feinheiten zu achten, dafür blieb keine Zeit. So eine Sonne wartet nicht auf mich.
Als ich das erste Foto fertig hatte konnte ich dann wieder entspannen und zusehen, wie sie im Meer versinkt.
Besser hätte der Tag kaum enden können.
