What humans abandon, nature embraces, preserves and transforms into something very powerful and beautiful.
The transformational power of nature is unbeatable.

Pretty amazing idea to build this park on 50 acres of unused utility land and transform it into a recreation wetlands open to the public! Here a resident Great Blue Heron is enjoying some relaxation time.

The imposing geology of the Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Giant's Causeway, located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.

The exact same location and very slightly different composition as a previous image, this time a few hours later in the day. The first one was taken just before dawn, this one at mid morning.
It goes to show just how transformative light is when it comes to landscape photography.
Le châtelet d’entrée a été transformé en musée et le château Egeskov slot est situé au Egeskov Gade 18, Kværndrup, île de Fionie au Danemark.
Une vue à partir des jardins du château.
Majestueux et privé, le château, débuté au 14e siècle, a été achevé en 1554 sur une île, au milieu d'un lac bordé d'une forêt. Sa construction sur une grande quantité de pilotis de chêne aurait « coûté la vie à toute une forêt de chênes », d'où son nom Egeskov signifiant forêt de chênes. Ce château Renaissance à vocation initialement défensive est passé aux mains des ancêtres de l'actuel propriétaire en 1784. Celui-ci, le comte Ahlefeldt-Laurving-Bille, un grand collectionneur d'engins mécaniques l'habite toujours et le château n'est visitable qu'en partie.
Le château est reconnu en Europe comme le mieux préservé des châteaux Renaissance bâtis sur une île. On y admire notamment la Grande Salle de banquet, restaurée en 1975, et, disséminés ici et là, des trophées de chasse rapportés d'Afrique par l'avant-dernier propriétaire. À proximité, un musée de 3 000 m2, créé par le propriétaire, présente sa collection de voitures anciennes, d'avions, de motos et de voitures à chevaux.
Mais ce sont les jardins privés du domaine de 15 ha, créés au 18e siècle et entourant le château, qui constitue son joyau. Les jardins ont évolué grandement au fil des ans mais le plan date de 1730 lorsque Niels Krag conçut le jardin à la française qui en 1962 fut remplacé par le jardin actuel de style Renaissance par le français Ferdinant Duprat avec ses topiaires en forme de pyramide et de spirales. Un pont-levis datant de la fin du 19e siècle relie le château à une superbe avant-cour où errent des paons blancs. On découvre au-delà une partie des 750 ha de terres cultivées qui font depuis longtemps la fortune d'Egeskov.

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

I decided to convert a picture of this amazingly colourful artwork into black and white. See below for details about the work:
Lothar Gotz has transformed the outside of Towner into a large-scale, geometric artwork. Gotz, a German artist who is based in the UK, was chosen from over 60 artists and designers through an open call for the Brewers Towner Commission - a painted commission to mark the building's tenth anniversary year. Drawing on the gallery's architecture, angles and unique exterior recesses, Gotz has produced his largest painting to date, a colourful new work that encompasses all three sides of the building.
Gotz's work - typically large scale paintings, drawings and installations that respond to existing architectural structures - has included commissions for Southbank Centre, London (2014), Pallant House Gallery, Chichester (2016) and Leeds Art Gallery (2017)
Taken from the Towner's description on the outside of the building
Overnight snow transformed the landscape. Seen just a couple of hours ago outside Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, Ireland. The sheep, dumb as they are, couldn't care less about the weather.
“To save Paeon (and show compassion to him), Pluto transformed him into a peony, because he knew it was a flower that people would admire and praise.”

In Tonopah's glory days, Victor Lambertucci operated a farm and vineyard just outside town. Using water pumped out of mines he transformed a patch of desert into a good business.

The American flag blowing in the wind near a window captured here reflecting and distorting in the glass of an old chalk drawing hanging on the living room wall. The soft vertical lines reflected in the glass are from vertical blinds.
It's a lazy photograph, you might say. I snapped it while sitting on the couch.

Eyelashes have the impressive ability to transform your face. Eyelashes complement the face as does lipstick, however eyelashes may actually even do it more.
Take these [Pink&Love] Oh My Autumn Lashes for example. These EvoX lashes draw a contrast between my eyes and eyelids - just like lipstick draws attention to the contrast between my lips and its surrounding facial features.
Long eyelashes could be flirtatious indicators for men, since we tend to blink more slowly than men do. This soft and fluttering accentuating signal undoubtedly serves us as a means of expressing our attractiveness.
Lipstick has been used for centuries by women all over the world to enhance their appearance, express themselves, and feel more confident. I complemented my looks with SENTINUS BEAUTY Ivana Lipstick to draw attention to my lips by making them look fuller and more defined.
To help remind me of my next date, I am wearing this SO SILLY Interactive Fruity Watch. Like my smart watch in RL, it is very fun to wear since it sequentially rolls through different dial faces.

My local pier, which is no longer in use, has fallen into a state of disrepair. I still see it as a thing of beauty and interest. I captured this image at sunrise yesterday and although there was little colour, due to the impending rain clouds, the Long Exposure gave some lovely movement in the sky and smoothed the water nicely. Beauty from something which at first glance, was not so beautiful.
Standing before the Viaur railway viaduct, I wanted to move beyond engineering prowess to reveal the dream woven into steel. By framing the structure diagonally and stripping away all context, reducing the scene to black and white, I sought to exalt the raw power of metal, the complex interplay of bracings, and the graphic tension of a suspended work.
My intention is to invite the viewer to see this giant not as a bridge, but as calligraphy traced across the sky—a monumental signature in lines and rhythms, of light and shadow. In this abstraction, matter becomes drawing, and technique transforms into poetry.
Through this gaze, I celebrate the essential: the human gift for shaping—and imagining—the landscape. The Viaur, in this frame, is a symbolic passageway: it joins the force of engineering with the creative breath of the imagination, bridging earth and idea, utility and art.
Super-Padd has almost recovered from the accident.
He was on his way to Mummy Marian's house when he collided with the sliding door on landing. He was unconscious for a while and suffered from paw problems.
He now wants to meet Paddy, Daddy Jesse and all the other bears who live in Australia.
Peter told Super-Padd about the secret magical portal in Mummy Marian's garden and also told him when you go through the portal you are in Australia.
But..because S-Padd is too big, he cannot go through the portal.
Peter asked for help from the fairy-mother.
She came immediately with fairy-dust.
Peter took Super-Padd to the agreed place in the garden after sunset.....
SUPER-PADD:
I do find it a bit scary Peter.
I don't know what's happening.
PETER:
Have faith in the Fairy Mother....look...there she is already!!!!
FAIRY-MOTHER:
I don't have much time Peter and Super-Padd. So if you stay still, I'll do the spell and sprinkle fairy-dust all over you Super-Padd. Then you can go through the gate.
It takes a few seconds to transform.
If there are any problems, you can send me an app.
Here we go....
Fairy Mother does the spell...sprinkles fairydust all over Super-Padd.
After that, she disappeared.
The fairy-dust circles around Super-Padd. Fog forms...a thud....and....
PETER:
Huh....Super Padd....where are you???????
SUPER-PADD: (replies in a small voice)
Here Peter!!!
Boy are you big! What happened to you?????

One afternoon last week, the light was intense coming through trees over our parking lot. I thought I'd try a multiple exposure, having not done one in a long time. And then, the image above was enhanced with Topaz software.
It's gotten hot in Jerusalem with the temperature nudging 90/f this afternoon. Hope you are having a warm and productive day.
