Below the Beaufort Castle in the Mullerthal runs a wildly romantic, wooded V-shaped valley, which is criss-crossed by the Haupeschbaach with its natural, wild course. In some places, wetlands and small bogs have developed, which are to be protected by a wooden walkway. A good thing.

[Sept. 2007] Quite possibly my favorite shot of the whole week*, taken by a random stranger of the male persuasion who grabbed my camera and insisted on taking a picture with me in it. (I will take credit for doing the 'art directing' though, once I handed over the camera.)

 

This photo somehow captures the look and feel and spirit of the Burning Man experience -- for me (because Burning Man is so many different things to so many different people).

 

*I just got back from the playa --literally-- and I have hundreds of shots to sort through, so that might change...but for now... :)

Common and abundant.

To think of shadows is a serious thing.

It had its head just poking out of the water. With a tweak to the contrast, the photo came alive.

Some of you may have seen our increasingly woeful UK Prime Minister, just before our recent election, saying that the naughtiest thing she had ever done was to run through a field of wheat as a child. I thought I’d try and recreate that historic scene, using Alirium as the setting and a new pose from Foxcity that seems to fit the bill perfectly. History relived before your very eyes!

The hardest part is following this advice yourself.

   

Clouds in the sky after a rainy morning. I went to Oak Canyon to get out and smell the fresh air. This set was captured from the same spot on a hill top. I was lucky today. It was a good day.

 

I had seconds to get this shot. Good thing my camera was on and close to the correct settings.

I've been trying to get out for a little fresh air before I start work everyday but with daylight starting so much closer to work time my chances to grab a shot are getting very limited, and I probably have to accept I will soon be doing just long exposure shots.

 

On my brief morning jaunt routine I noticed that a local wood had become swampy in the middle and I thought had aspects that looked a bit like a mangrove swamp. On a return visit I realised that I must have had my romantic glasses on and that "the swamp" had a more sinister feel about it.

 

So I was excited when this morning I woke and saw the local forecast showed "FOG". Well what a load of b@ll@cks that was. Not even a thin veil of the misty stuff.! But nonetheless self-discipline dictated I must head out for a short walk in the gloom. And stopped briefly to grab a few shots in the swampy bit in the semi-dark. But came away very unimpressed with my results. And now I'm not sure proper fog will make it any better

And here is 'Wild Thing' by 'The Troggs' (1966). Check out the hilarious, though still rather 'groovy', video clip:

Looking forward to spring, when the green will become the thing again. Fresh and full, not warm, not cold, you can almost hear the forest growing. And birds will sing again. I'm really looking forward to this music...

Setup: camera, me, beautiful nature and natural/ambient light...

Location - My home in Serbia :)

The Rotterdam Port Authorities informed me that by night the 'thing' illuminates a part of the shore line. On my picture you can hardly see the light component.

Among rapid cybernetic hybridization, a thing of beauty flourishes above the metallic earth.

 

This is my small contribution to New Hashima at Brickworld 2023. I wanted to add an element of nature to the cyberpunk environment. I chose to build a wisteria tree, one that resembles a carpet of flowers when looking up.
