"I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells
Those holiday J-I-N-G-L-E bells
Those happy J-I-N-G-L-E B-E, double-L-S
I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, oh"

Only those who have an eye for it
sees something beautiful and good in every weather,
he finds snow, burning sun, storm
and calm weather beautiful,
likes all seasons and is basically content with it
that things are as they are.
Vincent van Gogh
"Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale."
-- Lauren DeStefano
As always, a huge thanks to those who stop by to view, fave and or comment! I am truly grateful. :-)
Those brave souls who follow world news will know that the Finance Ministers of the G7 countries are meeting this week in Banff, Alberta, Canada. This is what they will see each morning, as they gaze down Banff Ave. toward towering Cascade Mountain.
For those that are confused by my title, Don McCullin is a British photographer famed mostly for his war images. He was on the front line of many global conflicts, from Cyprus to Vietnam to Syria and many more besides. There are photos he took that I'm sure everyone will remember when they see them but perhaps do not know he was the author of.
The very first picture that McCullin ever sold was a shot of a gang of boys spread across the first floor of a bombed out building in north London in the late 50s. This image is nothing like his original image which frankly is one of my favourite images of all time for the way it so brilliantly tells the story of a time and a place. But there is something in my photo which immediately reminded me of McCullin's famous composition but in a VERY different way. Here's a link to McCullin's shot for those that may be interested:
rps.org/news/journal/2021/october/don-mccullin-the-pictur...
And for anyone who truly admires photography it is worth looking up McCullin's work. It is often disturbing because of the subject matter he depicts but it is always exceptional. He is now in his 80s and lives in the quiet English county of Somerset. Instead of wars he now prefers to shoot the landscapes of his adopted county in the most beautiful way. Perhaps an antidote to the terrible things he's witnessed throughout his career.
Well, that’s what my Dad always said. This slightly modified 1956 Dodge Coronet was a built a few years before I was born. Photographed at the 3rd Annual Red, White, and Blue Car Show in Altoona, Iowa.
Developed with Darktable 4.8.0.
Sometimes I find way too many shrooms to create an environmental scene.

This is one of those new-to-camera- lens-yard-and-me shots. The house wren arrived some days ago but I was unable to get a shot off until today. Not sure what she’s up to. She’s been checking out all the holes left by the downies and nuthatches and seems to like this one the best. Her pose seems to indicate that she feels she’s part of the in-crowd and I am just glad she acquiesced to do this shoot.
Naturally, this shot was facilitated by perfect positioning of the Adirondack. The major challenge was, however, to not drift off into a snooze. This was accomplished by some mental gymnastics that involved perfecting the recipe for what I call Apple Blossom. Of course it’s not a flower, it’s the perfect summer drink. I was introduced to this in the early eighties in Victoria’s Inner Harbour in a place called the Captain’s Palace (changed to Huntingdon Mansion). It’s one of those Victorian mansions converted into a restaurant and they really serve(d) wonderful fare. And part of the breakfast menu was, you guessed it, the Apple Blossom. I could have stayed there all day sipping this nectar of the gods and observing the goings on in the harbor. They never did tell me what the ingredients were but due to my tenacious nature (I’ve been called a pit bull) I am now getting awfully close and finally reaping the fruits of my labor.
RKO_5451. Two young/sub adult white-tailed eagles chasing each other.... Look at those talons!!! The early morning light was simply amazing.
The numbers of White-Tailed Eagles in The Netherlands are slowly increasing. Even close to my home there are now a couple of eagles building a nest. It's great news! It would be interesting to know how they are doing in Europe too.
BTW, in June I will be co-hosting a presentation on White-tailed Eagles, showing some of my WTE images. More info on my website.

♫♪ Those were the days my friend.
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way. ♪♫

Those first few MILW Hiawatha's that wandered onto the SOO were just tasty. They looked fantastic and were as good as it gets for MILW power at the time. Couple one to a clean SOO SD and...well you get the picture:). Train 910 arrives at Trout Lake with 192 and 769 on June 21, 1985.
Ok, ok - birds don't have tonsils like we do... but they have similar lymphoid tissue in their throats too and it is located to the left and the right of the vertical slot (the choana), sometimes indeed called the pharyngeal tonsils.
This juvenile red-backed shrike, who probably had just left its nest as it hard a hard time flying anything more than 5 meters at a time, shows its pharyngeal tonsils quite well, while calling for its dad, who was sitting nearby.
He might act all rough and tough but those eyes just don't lie.. Always so soft and gentle.
Thank you Zyrus for posing with me. Always great to see you.

Just one of those things. I had intended to do a straight photo of me painting Patankar so I stood on the docks next to the easel and made a "painting" of the scene to downsize and copy unto the easel. As it turns out, I liked the painting so here it is.
Patankar contest: Winner gets 5,000L. Deadline May 31th.

Location: Patankar, Family Dreams
maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Family%20Dreams/15/133/25
Note: Very cool sim. Lots to explore with a lot of vignettes in different areas.
Camera and Lighting:
Firestorm
In Photoshop, starting from bottom layer
Windlight water: [NB] Turbid reflections for all layer
To create the "watercolor" effect
Layer 0. Windlight Sky: [Tor] Sunrise - Breaking Firmament
Layer 1. Windlight Sky: [Tor] Sunrise - Barcelon 2 (Blendmode: Lighten, Opacity 50%)
Layer 2. Windlight Sky: [Tor] Sunrise - Frenlite (Blendmode: Multiply, Opacity 50%)
Note on Frenlite: changed the time a little on Frenlite to deepen the colors a tad
Layer 3. Levels to deepen the colors, reset the middle point from 1 to 0.64
Layer 4. Made a new layer
Use Alt + Merge visible to put all of it on one layer.
Layer 5. Made a copy of this new layer.
Layer 4. Used Filter Gallery: Ink Outlines with no dark intensity and a lot of light intensity to bring out the ocean
Layer 5. Did the same thing again: still not dark intensity but dialed the light intensity to almost all the way to the left side too
Set Layer 5 to Blend mode Darken and opacity 70%
Note: the Ink outlines made a black outline line around the trees and house which I cloned over. Had to clone on both layers.
