I was talking to a couple family members. While viewing this sunset last night. We all really enjoyed it. Hopefully people here enjoy it the same way we did.
This is a reflection of a tree in water. Motion was created by the water movement combined with intentional camera movement
Recently, the Flickr Social group has been discussing bokeh. I find this topic very interesting.
This is one of the examples of bubble bokeh, created in my favourite macro lens 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor.

Some of us, like me, take photos for the beauty of what we see in SL. Others make their beauty, some tell stories with their art or they have art with purpose.
scylla.rhiadra's art has meaning and purpose. Her photos tell a story , some of the stories are hard hitting , socially relevant and profound.
She uses darkness to help illuminate her story in a way that leaves me in awe. I did not experience her art till she bumped into me one day at 777 motors. I checked out a few of her exhibits at different galleries and was blown away with the topics she covered and shared with her arts in an SL gallery. I felt like I could have been at any modern museum , maybe in SoHo New York.
I was honored when she asked if I'd take a pic with her. Her version shows how much she understands the use of lighting and darkness to share her vision. I took a photo, she captured a moment.

Almost back at the car now after having great fun descending on the bike back down Glen Tanar. Trout Loch near the Tanar Estate Office is rather beautiful and offers some great reflections among the trees.
Mount Keen is the most Easterly of all the Munros and although it is the closest to where I live, although I've climbed 10 others before climbing this, my 11th Munro. It stands at 939 Meters (3080 feet) and forms an almost perfect cone in its prominence. I made the ascent from Glen Tanar, cycling 6 miles in by bike (with an ascent of 210 meters / 689 feet), taking about 1.5 hours. This left me a final climb of just over 2 miles, with an ascent of 549 Meters (1801 feet), which I did surprisingly quickly (for me) at not much more than an hour. Including stops the whole trip was just over 4.5 hours, not bad for a 50 year old covering 16 miles of tough ground.
My friend, Connor Mitchell , posted recently on the topic the fate of the homeless. He started me thinking about the state of humanity. In these turbulent times, we see and hear much being said. Mostly it is just opinion or at best educated guesses. Mostly it can be summed up as fear of the uncertain. It occurred to me to ask, when has anything ever been certain? Certainly the people of Ubay Island never expected the ocean that provides their livelihood to flood their home every month. I thank my friend,Simply.Jana , for her beautiful Ubay Island posts and the videos of both the people living there still in the real world and the touching tune by Peter Gabriel. My friend, Charly Keating , posted earlier today a very positive message about the power of faith, trust, and prayer. It is as if were were all connected somehow. This song reminds me of the joyous attitude of the children of Ubay Island and the quiet determination of their elders to survive and thrive. Finally, AD♫ is always so supportive, encouraging, and full of wisdom. He is another one of those people for me who has become vital to the stability of my world. Muchas gracias, amor. ♥
I started writing this, then as I thought I was nearing the end, I realized that I hadn't really had a clear idea of where to begin at first. The beginning is the same as the end. Friends, family, loved ones, neighbors, acquaintances, co-workers, and fellow believers. This is our personal network and safety net. We can be there for one another. We should be there for one another. Reach out in your community, do not shrink back in fear. ♥
Be "God's hands."
Together, as the song says, "we are never broken".
POSTCARD WORTHY is the topic for Friday, October 22, 2021, Group Our Daily Challenge
I have to go to this castle a couple of times a year, it is worth a visit at any time of the year.
This morning the sun was shining so beautifully, but when I got there the sun was gone ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ich muss dieses Schloss ein paar Mal im Jahr besuchen, es ist zu jeder Jahreszeit einen Besuch wert.
Heute morgen schien so schön die Sonne, doch als ich dort ankam war die Sonne verschwunden....
Waterfalls at the end of Glen Ey, which burble and roar in my ears as I eat my lunch at the end of a 7 mile cycle through the highlands.
Patterns in Nature is the topic for Macro Mondays, July 15th

~~~ You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold..... ~~~

Photographic Lines... is the topic for Sunday ~ July 14th, 2019, Group Our Daily Challenge
Today my Topic is to recognize the Sun after Hours and hours of heavy Rain. Some of my older Takes of my Trip with the HURTIGRUTEN through the Baltic Sea some years ago, show also some interesting Light Combinations. Taken with the Sony NEX-7 and the 18-200mm OSS Zoom.
This one shows a Norway scenery near Tromsoe after some hours of longer Rainfalls. Finally the Sun decided to appear and some Mountains showed up! And the blue Parts of the Sky were already quite promising!

Don Gibson - Foggy River
After making it up to the ridge we now follow this deer fence up to our first sub-summit of Broom Hill, then it's a small climb from there to reach Pressendye.
Pressendye is just a small Graham of 620 meters (2034 feet), but a 15 Km (9 mile) circuit definitely stretched the legs.
A single grass stem going to seed in the garden, covered in raindrops on a foggy morning after it rained all night.

A very old street in the old town of Edinburgh called The Vennel, offers a classic view of the imposing Edinburgh Castle perched high on its rock.

Popular little hamburger joint in my city found among the downtown buildings. This was a drive by capture and I was pretty happy with the clarity on this handheld shot.

We're camping at Bargara (out of Bundaberg) . I went to the beach, before sunrise this morning & the pink sky was beautiful & reflecting on the sand at low tide.
I've taken Soooo many sunrise photos, and on a morning like this, the beauty gave me a big Smile & joy in my heart.
A gentle camera movement helps to give another element to the scene.
Waterloo Bridge offers probably one of the best views of the Square Mile in London. This is the small area from which the whole city eventually grew. In front we have Blackfriars Bridge spanning the River Thames.
A long weekend in London sees us staying at this hotel, with fine views of St. Katherine's Docks on the Thames and City of London beyond.
Taken on one of my last walks during our final months in Greece. I loved the pop of colour against the pale blue autumn sky, the line of the black iron fence framing it.
Submitted for our daily topic: foliage.
HFF, everyone!

A cluster of tiny white fungi grow from the side of an old tree stump. I have no idea what they are so any fungus experts able to provide an ID would be appreciated.
Approaching the far end of Loch Muick, near Glas Allt, the Pine and Autumn Larch trees are reflected in the perfectly calm waters of Loch Muick, deep in the Scottish Highlands, on a beautiful Autumn morning.
Our house in Scotland being sold, one week before we move away back to Dinnington, where I grew up and where my family still is, including the grandkids, we decided to take one last circuit around Loch Muick, the first place we explored when we moved up to Scotland 15 years ago. It's still as stunning as ever and I will certainly miss this kind of scenery.
Dominating the skyline at Trafalgar is Nelson's Column, probably one of the most famous landmarks of London.
