....still stuck in with iced up roads, so this is a "What you would have won" image. Scafell centre right and Scafell Pike in the cloud on the right...England's highest.
The Vanishing point is a history of linear perspective. And, as such, is the practice of creating the illusion of three-dimensional depth on a two-dimensional surface. Sometimes, the intersection is off the page and leads to a different looking image. Here, the vanishing point aligns with the horizon, as it must, but just to the right of the frame. This technique was used to further emphasize the conditions of the area.
Once again in the Nicola Valley, it is late afternoon, and in the summer heat. The tops of dry grasses are highlighted, and form a line leading toward the horizon. Shadows play their part as the sun is only peaking over the hills, just outside the frame. The area is exceptionally dry and experiencing a drought. Strangely enough, last year this area was flooded and only the hills were visible.
They may look like normal size leaves, but these are miniature Oak leaves growing off of that single little stem that has broken out from the trunk of the tree.
This tree is in my landscape and these triplet beauties caught my eye as I was cutting the grass yesterday.
In the house I went, grabbed my macro lens, and captured them from several angles. Here is the result.
What is it about autumn leaves that are so beautiful?!
L'ATR100.004 in arrivo presso la stazione terminale di Malles nell'ultimo tratto di Val Venosta dove finiscono per affacciarsi in un fazzoletto di Alpi Alto Adige, Lombardia, Svizzera ed Austria.
These three bells were made in 1668, 1755 and 1708. They are three of six in St Michael's church in Oxford, UK and it is said that if all six were rung full circle, they would be too heavy for the 1000 year old tower to support, so they are now hung 'dead' for chiming only.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

My grandparents on my dad's side lived in White Rock. My dad enjoys telling the story of how he and his father were sitting on the porch of my grandparent's house looking out at the view. Apparently, three-year-old me strolled up, stood beside them for a while as they sat in silence, and then said, "Well, it's a good day for it." I don't remember my grandpa, but I am told I gave him a very good laugh.
Hooded Crows visit for breakfast every day usually 6 of them - these 3 were late & sat on the fence hoping for more bird seed to appear!
We only had an afternoon in Prague this time. Fabulous place.
The previous photo shows the three in a different perspective.
Victor Vasarely is truly a genius, having captured this image on canvas with brush and paint in a wonderfully nuanced and harmonious way, without the use of today's high-resolution printing technology.
The painting hung high up in the stairwell of the Würth Museum, and I could only photograph it with a telephoto lens.
Here on my computer screen (press L), the image appears completely three-dimensional, with the blue areas curved concave and convex, and the red areas receding into the background. He swapped blue and black and red and black diagonally.
Dreidimensional
Victor Vasarely ist wahrlich ein Genie, hat er doch dieses Bild mit Pinsel und Farbe super nuanciert und abgestimmt, ohne die heutige, feindüsige Druckertechnik, auf Leinwand gebannt.
Das Gemälde hing hoch im Treppenhaus des Würth-Museums und ich konnte es nur mit einem Tele fotografieren.
Hier auf meinem Computerbildschirm (bitte Ansicht vergrößern) wirkt das Bild vollkommen dreidimnsional, die Blauen Flächen konkav und konvex gebogen, die roten Flächen in den Hintergrund zurück tretend (lang- und kurzwelliges Licht). Er vertauschte jeweils Blau und Schwarz und Rot und Schwarz in der Diagonale.

There is still some fall color hanging on if you get out and look for it. On this picture perfect Friday I did just that hunting the last pockets of autumn leaves to be found along Amtrak's Springfield Line. I started my day here at the Connecticut River bridge for a quick succession of three trains, one each from CTRail, Amtrak, and Connecticut Southern.
Here is the latter in the form of train CSO-4 northbound on Amtrak's Springfield Line main near MP 50 crossing the Connecticut River on the Warehouse Point Bridge crossing from the town of Windsor Locks into Enfield behind OHCR 8530 and CSOR 3901 (both are GE B39-8Es built in Dec. and Nov. 1987 respectively as LMX lease units for service on the Burlington Northern orginally numbered 8530 and 8511 respectively) . The 1470 ft long double track bridge (though only one track is in service) dates from 1903 when the circa 1866 iron bridge was rebuilt by the New Haven Railroad, but even that structure was the second one on the site replacing a wooden Howe truss that first crossed here in 1843 by NH predecessor Hartford and Springfield Railroad.
The Genesee and Wyoming owned Connecticut Southern is a small but busy shortline that dates from 1996 when then Rail America acquired the freight rights on Amtrak's line along the so called Hartford cluster of branchlinesfrom Conrail.

I was hidden in the brush at Eastern College Pond and saw four kingfishers through the leaves. One flew away, but I was lucky to get three in focus.
Just before Christmas 2014, I went in to Lower Tews Falls. Today being a Wednesday, and one of the rare days when I can now get time to go anywhere, I went back. The hard winter and the frosts had frozen the trail well, and what normally would be a squelchy hike in was pleasantly dry. It is worth contrasting this end of winter shot with the one that I took just as the ice was forming. No tripod; elbows wedged :)
