Seasonal greetings and a very Happy 2016 to you all. Here's hoping that we'll all have a happy and peaceful New Year.
Folded paper envelopes filled with typewritten notes called "letters" were once very common. They did require this thing called postage (or a stamp) so the postal service would deliver them. Emails and texts contain less effort and often less thought.

Camera whitebalance was preset on 'lamplight' for the blue effect, I didn't want the lamps to come out yellow as they otherwise would have done.

Una ventana es un elemento arquitectónico que se ubica en un vano o hueco elevado sobre el suelo, que se abre en una pared con la finalidad de proporcionar luz y ventilación a la estancia correspondiente. También se denomina ventana a algun conjunto de dispositivos que se utilizan para cerrar ese vano.
El término proviene del latín ventus (viento), haciendo referencia a la capacidad de ventilación que proporciona. Antiguamente la ventana también se denominaba fenestra ó también denominada "finistra", de forma idéntica a como se llama en latín y en griego. Este sería el modo directo de derivación etimológica.
As soon as most people got off the train, they were straight on the phone texting.
This young lady is but one of many. Given a golden glow treatment.
With fall colours vibrantly changing the forests of Ontario, I thought I'd experiment with a little fall colours of my own. This image is a single frame (no focus stacking) of a Gerbera Daisy as seen through a Dandelion seed.
There was plenty of experimentation yesterday to find a composition I was happy with. My first failed attempts were done with Eucalyptus leaves, which allow for water to bead up nicely into spherical droplets. The right combination wasn't happening, so I turned to my backyard.
Since my return from recent travels I haven't been motivated enough to mow the lawn, and my laziness paid off. In the middle of the yard was a Dandelion that had gone to seed, a rare sight this far into the season. Just add water to one of the seeds and you're all set! And I decided to experiment a little with this technique as well.
Normally I use a spray bottle that produces a fine mist, but this seed was subjected to the water vapour being released from a humidifier. It produced an even distribution of droplets over the span of roughly 10 minutes, and I'm happy with the results - I'll be using the humidifier approach more often!
I typically use daisy-like flowers in these images because of the symmetry and flat design. The flower is placed behind the seed and the droplets refract an image of the flower like tiny lenses. The flash used to light this scene is carefully positioned so that it doesn't illuminate the seed too much; only the flower is receiving direct flash.
