What humans abandon, nature embraces, preserves and transforms into something very powerful and beautiful.
The transformational power of nature is unbeatable.
As the heavens prepare for an imminent downpour, nature paints a breathtaking scene in the mountains of Tuscany.
Italy experiences a period of intense rainfall as dark clouds dominate the sky. The relentless downpour transforms the landscape, turning streets into temporary rivers and fields into saturated patches of earth. People navigate through the rain, seeking shelter and utilizing umbrellas and raincoats to stay dry. The heavy rainfall showcases the power and unpredictability of nature, reminding us of our vulnerability in the face of natural forces.

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.

"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"For over 60 years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly 50 acres of of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately 6-8 weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area's local heritage, also is one of nature's official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California." flowerfields.com
As always, a huge thanks to those who stop by to view, fave and or comment! I am truly grateful. :-)
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 Sunlight transforms all creatures inside out!! It is an irresistible Power that enlightens strongly, and gives Life and Hope!!
Speaking of humans, experiencing the dark present hours of Humanity, Sunlight is literally a life and energy source, an uplifter of spirits, bodies, and souls! Especially now, while Winter is approaching…
Therefore , last Saturday morning, a very bright , sunny day, I decided to celebrate light and colours, in the Château wonderland, together with hundreds of other people , as you can see in my photos!! Speaking of the spirits of all of us in there, I can assure you, that , even when wearing the disgusting masks , NOTHING could block the upliftment and joy in our hearts!
More than a year ago already I posted an imago of a romantic couple posing on the rim of the Charyn Canyon (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49239492492/in/datepo...), a wonderful spot in the far east of Kazakhstan (and the most eastern point that I ended up during this journey, ca 100 kilometer close to the border with China).
After that shot we walked down into the canyon, along a very rough but also scenic path. We ended in this lovely oasis where the river the Charyn has carved its way through the rock formations with all those intense red and purple rocks. And where water is, arid landscapes turn green.
If you want to sleep in this place, there is a campsite and cabins to stay for the night.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
Hot weather this summer has transformed a juicy English landscape into somewhat surreal scorched land. This shot was taken on Little Solsbury Hill. The hill plateaued at 625 feet (191 m) overlooking village of Batheaston and the surrounding area with spectacular views of the city of Bath from the east. The hill is the site of an Iron Age hill fort, is maintained by the National Trust, and is within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is the first time I visited the place scouting for a different location to shoot the August Supermoon on the following day. The flat top of the hill dominated by various species of dried thistle plants and dry grass making it looks like Mediterranean arid landscape thanks to incredibly dry and hot weather this during last few weeks. The setting sun enhanced this feeling even more. Little Solsbury Hill, Batheaston near Bath, BANES, England, UK.
A tender moment captured at the 4th Chennai Flower Show in Semmozhi Poonga! This blushing pink rose caught my eye among thousands of blooms. There's something magical about how it stands alone, perfectly lit, like nature's own spotlight performance in the heart of Chennai.
The Semmozhi Poonga shows never disappoint - they transform our city into a floral paradise. This little beauty proves why Chennai's flower shows are becoming a must-visit for nature lovers and photographers alike!
Macro Mondays
{BAM 17 of 52}

I normally don't wear this much make-up but when I do I can honestly say I feel transformed. lol
Happy Macro Monday everyone! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
By the way my eyebrows are having a bad day lol
When winter unfurls its icy embrace, the world transforms into a wonderland of ethereal beauty. The landscape, once adorned in the lush hues of autumn, now dons a pristine white coat, as delicate snowflakes blanket the earth like nature's own embroidery. Trees stand adorned with glistening icicles, and the ground sparkles under the soft glow of moonlight. Silence descends, broken only by the crisp crunch of snow underfoot. The air is crisp and clean, carrying the invigorating scent of pine and the promise of new beginnings. Winter, a painter with a frosty palette, transforms the familiar into a realm of enchantment, where each snow-covered branch, each glistening frost-kissed surface, whispers tales of magic and quiet marvels. In this winter wonderland, nature reveals itself as a master storyteller, captivating hearts with its frozen tapestry and inviting all to revel in the breathtaking allure of the season.

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.
see these red and white umbrellas at Old Town, Ipoh.
take a walk with me:
Mistress Lane or Concubine Lane (二奶巷) is approximately 500m long lane is located at the heart of Old Town neighborhood in Ipoh. During the tin-mining era, many rich miners had their mistresses stayed in these houses, therefore this tiny lane got its name after the infamous history.
With investors flocking in from neighboring Singapore, Mistress Lane is getting a "facelift" - transforming into a coming " it" place for pubs and cafes in Ipoh.
Today, this small alley has become "The" tourist attraction in Ipoh city.

Si vous vous aventurez du côté de Remagen, au sud de Bonn, vous tomberez sur une somptueuse gare néo-classique (toujours en fonctionnement) datant du milieu du 19ème siècle, offrant un magnifique panorama sur le Rhin. C’est la gare de Rolandseck, un lieu de rendez-vous des artistes et intellectuels au 19ème siècle ainsi que dans la deuxième moitié du 20ème siècle, transformée, depuis 2007, en musée grâce à l’ajout d’un deuxième bâtiment ultra moderne, perché au dessus sur la falaise.
La gare de Rolandseck, œuvre de l’architecte et ingénieur Emil Hermann Hartwich, a été inaugurée en 1858, à l’âge d’or du chemin de fer. De nombreuses personnalités du monde politique, artistique et culturel s’y retrouvaient. Guillaume Apollinaire a même écrit quelques poèmes, composés à Rolandseck, lors de son séjour en Allemagne entre 1901 et 1902.
Épargnée par les bombardements de la seconde guerre mondiale et tombée en désuétude, la gare devient, en 1964, grâce à un galeriste de Bonn du nom de Johannes Wasmuth, un centre artistique où sont exposées, entre autres, les œuvres de Hans Arp et de son épouse Sophie Taeuber Arp.
Au cours des années 90, Wasmuth convainc le land Rheinland-Pfalz et l’achitecte renommé Richard Meier de transformer le site en musée pour exposer une partie des oeuvres des deux artistes, œuvres léguées par la deuxième épouse de Hans Arp, Marguerite Arp-Hagenbach. C’est ainsi qu’en 2007 est inauguré le Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck.
Avant même d’entrer, on ne se lasse pas d’admirer le bel ensemble qu’offre la façade, ses balcons en fer forgé et sa verrière. Les étages supérieurs comprennant l’ancien hall de gare et les salles d’attente, servent de halls d’exposition et de restaurant.
If you venture to Remagen, south of Bonn, you'll come across a sumptuous neoclassical train station (still in operation) dating from the mid-19th century, offering a magnificent panorama of the Rhine. This is Rolandseck station, a meeting place for artists and intellectuals in the 19th and second half of the 20th centuries. Since 2007, it has been transformed into a museum thanks to the addition of a second, ultra-modern building perched above on the cliff.
Rolandseck station, the work of architect and engineer Emil Hermann Hartwich, was inaugurated in 1858, during the golden age of the railway. Many prominent figures from the worlds of politics, art, and culture used to gather there. Guillaume Apollinaire even wrote a few poems, composed in Rolandseck, during his stay in Germany between 1901 and 1902.
Spared from the bombings of the Second World War and having fallen into disuse, the station became, in 1964, thanks to a Bonn gallery owner named Johannes Wasmuth, an art center where, among other things, the works of Hans Arp and his wife Sophie Taeuber Arp were exhibited.
During the 1990s, Wasmuth convinced the state of Rheinland-Pfalz and the renowned architect Richard Meier to transform the site into a museum to exhibit some of the works of the two artists, works bequeathed by Hans Arp's second wife, Marguerite Arp-Hagenbach. Thus, in 2007, the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck was inaugurated. Even before entering, one never tires of admiring the beautiful ensemble offered by the façade, its wrought iron balconies and its glass roof. The upper floors, including the former station hall and waiting rooms, serve as exhibition halls and a restaurant.
Time and circumstance (and weather!) have prevented me from capturing full blown autumnal vistas of colour this year, so here are three mini-me autumn scenes that I have managed to capture on my wanderings of late…

As we bid adieu to the warmth of summer's embrace, we find ourselves on the precipice of autumn's arrival. The world transforms into a canvas of vivid hues, a tapestry of crimson and gold, where every leaf tells a story of change. It's a season that invites introspection, a time when nature itself seems to pause and take a deep breath. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, we're reminded of the beauty that resides in letting go, in the graceful dance of transition. So, as autumn approaches, let us embrace this chapter of transformation with open hearts, for it's a reminder that change can be as beautiful as the falling leaves.
