These are some of the Greek and Roman amphorae from the 3rd and 2nd century B.C.; they were recovered from the bottom of the sea around the island of Lipari (Aeolian Islands north of Sicily). They have been most beautifully exhibited in the Museo Bernabo Brea in Lipari. Clearly, transport across the Mediterranean was dangerous, but, on the other hand, the contents of these containers (wine, olive oil, marinade) must tell us that life in antiquity had most attractive sides. There was luxury, for some.
One of these days with one of these scenes, multiplied by millions on the Flickr.
I do not know what got in to me, I have made hundreds photos of these sunsets in Split, I mean I love sunsets and sunrises and every minute of this life but point is, if you really want to say something to the world, than you have to find the words (images) which will resonate, the words which will say something so particular that it will have profound impact, words which will represent and reflect the beautiful sunshine of your own soul.
Walking with the crowd in the main road, chanting same song, does not have a voice.
I know you will kill me after reading this but have a mercy, this is about me, not you.
... and do not worry tomorrow I'll be back with another sunset ;-)
These three, along with the rest of the herd of miniature Shetlands were drying off in the sun. We saw them a few hours later trotting down the road, all dried off and ready for the next downpour

These little guys are so fast and they typically dive in and out of range so quickly I don’t have a chance at capturing them. In this shot the planets (af, settings) aligned but really the essential part was knowing the behavior. I knew they liked to land on the branch so I focused on that with a framing that lent to decent composition.
These chandeliers are quite spectacular. Take time to notice them the next time you pass through what used to be the very grand waiting room at Grand Central.
Well, these building may not be the first to catch the eye along Billionaire Row just south of Central Park but I couldn't resist the composition. I thought it interesting to find window A/C units and an old school water tank in real estate that runs way into the millions if not billions. A lot was being prepared for another skyscraper.
Technical Note: The perspective of this image drove me crazy, I couldn't figure out why the bottom of the center-right plane of the building looked a bit off (pulled in) even though the vertical lines are pretty straight. I thought it might have something to do with straightening the perspective or perhaps some lens distortion going on. What I concluded after plenty of study is it's a bit of an optical illusion with the four rows of lower windows having a different horizontal spacing than the top four rows! The result is that they tend to "pull" the image to the right a bit, IMO. Anyway, it was fun trying to figure this out and I was relieved that I didn't have to blame my 24-70. I shot this at 55mm which is a focal length I don't use too often for buildings. That being said, I'll have to run a few field tests next time I'm around tall buildings to confirm my hypothesis.

These tiny little bowls (I have 12 in all) were a gift from an aunt. I’ve tried to find out about them but the most I could find was that they’re probably Chinese export porcelain made in the 1950’s. Each one is hand painted with a different figure with some tiny Chinese (I think) writing next to each one. I’d love to know what the words say so if any of you can understand the one you can see I’d be really interested!!
Thanks for viewing

These trees are the leftover of the past but this is the landscape with lots of water. moors I think is more in fact the right name, anyway they are very welcome place of birds, crows,commerant and herons.
These Canada Geese start their day with the morning rise, a guidance for the beginning of a new day !

These are edible.....You see, the ones on the right, when they dried up, you can cook them with soup, meat and so on. I do have them in my home now.
These have appeared in the garden over the last few weeks - tiny things, about 4-6 mm across on average.
"These odd and fascinating little fungi look for all the world like tiny birds' nests. The fruiting bodies form little cuplike nests which contain spore-filled eggs. The nests are called "peridia" ("peridium" in the singular), and serve as splash cups; when raindrops strike the nest, the eggs (called "periodoles") are projected into the air, where they latch onto twigs, branches, leaves, and so on. What exactly happens next is not completely clear, but eventually the spores are dispersed from the egg. They then germinate and create mycelia, which eventually hook up with other mycelia and produce more fruiting bodies." - www.mushroomexpert.com/birdsnests.html
These icy feather shapes formed on my windscreen over night. I thought they were very strange, I've never seen them before.
These fabulous flowers were found in my cousin's garden in Washington. I have no idea what they are, but they are quite fun. I believe they bloom from bottom to top. I love the array of colors from the green stem to purple then red.
Thanks for visiting! Have a wonderful day!
These areal antics are a huge reason so many come from so far away to get frames of these guys honing their skills and playing with objects in the air. They exchange food in the air as well as a measly stick found to be the object of play. Here they are squabbling over something and one is showing the other a warning of impending doom.....
Thanks for the visit and comments
These are the last two (for the time being) from Holywell Bay. I must have 50 or so scenes at different shutter speeds and angles that make similar scenes so different.
These are the Cuchara Mountains, a small isolated range of the Rockies in south central Colorado, very close to the New Mexico border. Winter hangs on for a large part of the year here. This photo taken at almost 10,000 feet elevation shows that it's almost June and none of the aspens in the shot have a single Spring bud on them. There was a cold wind blowing, almost "like off the glacier", it snowed for a short time, mostly uber dry "corn snow", and temperatures dropped well into the 20's that night.
Hard to see, but in the distance is one of the "Spanish Sisters", peeking over the horizon.
Truly one of my favorite alpine ecosystems on the Planet.
These two Dunlins possibly adult left and juvenile right, were busy scouring the shoreline in search of food.
The dunlin is the only small wader in the UK that displays the distinctive black belly when in breeding plumage, which is clearly shown here.

These Lilies bloom about this time every year on the nearby lake. I try each year to make a decent photograph of them.

These seem to be in every pond, every park, in and out of the city. At Elm Park, if you're quiet, you can shoot them with portrait-length lenses while they take small fish along the shore -- no 500mm needed. This isn't as sharp as it should be, but still...
I hope everyone's having a great weekend. I'm alone with Charlie for most of it, so may or may not get any images out of my brain.
These November days are very short. This was taken on my walk along Princes Parade . Moody and beautiful
These parakeets were sitting on a slanting supporting wire of a piller.
The rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the ring-necked parakeet, is a medium-sized parrot in the genus Psittacula, of the family Psittacidae. It has disjunct native ranges in Africa and South Asia, and is now introduced into many other parts of the world where feral populations have established themselves and are bred for the exotic pet trade.
The rose-ringed parakeet is sexually dimorphic. The adult male sports a red and black neck ring, and the hen and immature birds of both sexes either show no neck rings, or display shadow-like pale to dark grey neck rings.
