This is a reflection of a tree in water. Motion was created by the water movement combined with intentional camera movement
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.
I'm so obsessed with the way this top and this eyeliner look together! I'm glad I put this outfit all together hehe..

Climbing the slopes of Conachcraig, the deep Glen behind us leads to the snowy wintry slopes of Lochnagar. Clouds are over the snowy mountains in the distant Cairngorms.
Conachcraig is a Corbett standing at 865 meters (2837 feet). A Corbett is a Scottish mountain between 2500 and 3000 feet high, with at least 500 feet of descent on all sides.

~~~ 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..... ~~~

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....
Back from Mount Keen and on the bikes, we follow the track that meanders either side of Tanar Water all the way back down Glen Tanar to the cars. It's 7 miles and all downhill reaching speeds approaching 30mph, this is going to be awesome!! Until the next time, see you for another climb.
Mount Keen is my 11th Munro and this is my second time of climbing it. It is the most easterly of all the Munros and stands at 939 Meters (3080 feet), forming an almost perfect cone. A 7 mile cycle up Glen Tanar gets us to the foot of the 2 mile ascent up the mountain.
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.

Climbing up from Glen Lui below us, following this narrow path on the bike with snow on the high mountains.
Before we went to lockdown I managed to get out on the bike into the highlands. I'm heading up Glen Lui, which can be seen below us, then heading to Clais Fhearnaig to eventually reach Glen Quoich before getting back to the car. Hardly saw a soul and so glad to get out.
What a nice topic for the week? Science and photography... two of my favorite things. :)
For the subject, I searched on directional freezing mentioned in the discussion to produce the clear ice. This was my third attempt as the previous two did not go well (good bye exploded cherry). Hahaha.
I built a DIY container with cut plastic bottle wrapped with aluminum foil to allow only one side to freeze. I used barbecue sticks and nylon string to hold the strawberry under water because it floats all over. The small piece left in the photo was supposed to be at the back part but the strawberry spun around while floating. Oh well.... :)
The explosion looking effect and the red streaks going upwards was not an intentional effect. I think the strawberry got squeezed while freezing and there are air inside being pushed outwards. I used a yellow background to emphasize this.
For the lighting I used a strobe from the front which actually reflected on the ice. I was chasing against the melting subject so did not have time to find the right angle to take away the reflection. Oh well again... :) hahaha.
I really enjoyed this weeks topic. I hope you guys like the pic as well. Thanks in advance for comments and faves. HMM!!!

peony, (genus Paeonia), genus of about 30 species of flowering plants (family Paeoniaceae) known for their large showy blossoms. All but two species are native to Europe and Asia, and several species are cultivated as ornamentals and for the floral industry.
European common Peony
garden peony
There are three distinct groups of peonies: the herbaceous Eurasian peonies, the Asian tree, or moutan, peonies, and the North American peonies. The herbaceous peonies are perennials that grow to a height of almost 1 metre (about 3 feet). They have large, glossy, much-divided leaves borne on annual stems produced by fleshy rootstocks. In late spring and early summer they produce large single and double flowers of white, pink, rose, and deep crimson colour. The fragrant Chinese peony (P. lactiflora) and the European common peony (P. officinalis) have given rise to most of the familiar garden peonies. P. lactiflora has provided hundreds of cultivated varieties, including the Japanese types, with one or two rows of petals surrounding a cluster of partially formed petals in the centre (petaloid stamens).
The tree peonies are shrubby plants with permanent woody stems. The plants sometimes attain a height of 1.2 to 1.8 metres (about 4 to 6 feet). They begin flowering in late spring. The blossoms vary in colour from white to lilac, violet, and red. Tree peonies require a hot dry summer season for best growth, and they can be grafted in late summer or autumn on the roots of herbaceous peonies. Horticultural varieties have been developed from the Chinese species P. suffruticosa. A race of hybrids, developed by crossing P. suffruticosa with the yellow Chinese P. delayavi, has both single and double flowers, sometimes tinged with red. Many varieties have been grafted onto supportive rootstock and so cannot be readily propagated by simple division. Peonies are seldom grown from seeds except in breeding programs; the seed takes about two years to germinate.
Two peony species are native to North America. Brown’s, or western, peony (P. browni) ranges from California to Montana, and California peony (P. californica) is found only along the Pacific coastal mountains of California and Mexico.
The scene from the bottom of our garden is amazing, as our house turns into a lakeside property. Fortunately with the railway line between us and the water, we're always pretty safe.
The next few uploads will be from the Scott Kelby Photo walk that I participated in at Pensacola Fl. I had a blast. What more can you ask for than, good company and wonderful topics. Although I think I listened and watched the other photographers more than I shot. It was fun and I would do it again any day. Thank you to our group leader…Leaders…for pulling this together for us.
Sweet details from a fountain~
This is the same shot as I posted before...I just decided to post the one of me playing with it. Enjoy, you can pic the one you like.
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.
The modern history of the library can be traced back to 1802, the time of the restoration of the Benedictine order. The first records referring to the library date back more than a thousand years, so except for a few interruptions, it is the oldest and most valuable art collection in the country. The library now consists of approximately 400,000 volumes compared to the original 70-80 codices. In terms of topics, the collection includes every conceivable scientific discipline. The language is more often Latin, but the books were also written in Hungarian, French and German. After the restoration of the Benedictine order, the library also made great strides, it began to prosper, and the collection reached its great size through purchases, collections and legacies. The Abbey, its library and its spiritual value was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.

STARTS WITH THE LETTER P is the topic for Saturday, May 22, 2021, Group Our Daily Challenge
Dominating the skyline at Trafalgar is Nelson's Column, probably one of the most famous landmarks of London.
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.

Desde su llegada a Novigrado, Alastor y Eidel empezaron a llevar una vida humilde como granjeros, vendiendo sus cosechas en el mercado. No obstante, las peleas entre ambos fueron en aumento, pues su compañero se mal acostumbró a enfrentarse a algunos civiles y montar escenitas en la plaza, llegando a ser conocido como el granjero follonero.
Para colmo, aparecieron nuevas amenazas en la ciudad, las sirenas. Sin embargo, la peor pesadilla que sembró el caos en la ciudad fue la aparición de una pandilla de payasos asesinos liderada por un tipo que se hacía llamar Hijo Bastardo. Si Eidel pensó que nada podía empeorar estuvo equivocada, pues Alastor empezó a llegar muy tarde a casa, incluso con golpes, algo que la elfa empezó a llevar mal. Para colmo, estuvo a punto de perderlo al haber sido herido de un flechazo en el pecho por un altercado en el muelle relacionado con las bandas criminales.
Debido a los acontecimientos que azotaron sus vidas como los asesinatos en la ciudad y el poco dinero que ganaban, la relación de ambos se torció y Eidel abandonó la granja para irse a casa de su madrina y el ausente Jacques, en la ciudad.
Gracias a un nuevo brujo, que empezó a estar muy vinculado a su madrina, empezaron a verse involucrados en sucesos relacionados con la pandilla de Hijo Bastardo, llegando a recopilar entre todos unas pistas vitales para descubrir su verdadera identidad. Lo que Eidel no tuvo en cuenta, es que Alastor guardaba demasiados secretos y se vio obligada a usar su magia contra él para descubrir el por qué de tantas incoherencias y mentiras, descubriendo que su excompañero era el mismísimo cabecilla de la pandilla de payasos asesinos.
La fatídica noticia destrozó a Eidel y decidió enfrentarse a Alastor e invocar un hechizo para dejar una marca a fuego sobre su piel. El símbolo sería permanente y escogió la imagen de un payaso en su pecho como castigo y recordatorio.
Tras ello, Eidel se sumió en un trance depresivo, estando encerrada semanas en su habitación de la universidad de Novigrado, incapaz de procesar la realidad. Había estado conviviendo con un asesino, el supuesto amor de su vida, y no comprendía en qué momento llegó a dejar de ser Alastor para ser Hijo Bastardo.
Pasadas las semanas, la elfa descubrió qué mafioso manejaba realmente a esa pandilla, el banquero fanfarrón de Novigrado. Alastor había sido su estúpido peón que, movido por la codicia y la promesa del dinero fácil, cayó en su red y trabajó como su secuaz olvidando todo rastro de integridad y compasión hacia sus víctimas. Eidel sabía que no podía arriesgarse a denunciarlo, pues había topos en la misma guardia que podrían advertir al banquero, por lo que ella, Eyra y su hija recién nacida seguramente serían las primeras en caer a manos de los matones del mafioso.
Era tal el dilema, que la elfa decidió marchar de la ciudad hacia Nilfgaard, a mejorar su control del caos en la academia de magia Gweision Haul, conocida como un lugar de prestigio y disciplina. Se marchó junto con su perrita Pandora dejando atrás aquella ciudad llena de promesas que solo trajo desgracias a su vida y a la de Alastor.
Eidel se prometió que una vez lograra ser una gran maga volvería a acabar con la mafia de Hijo Bastardo.
Sin embargo, los acontecimientos no fueron como esperaba y, pese a formarse como una talentosa maga, sus planes se torcieron y se vio obligada a huir de la academia. ¿Quién iba a imaginar que una vez entrara iba a convertirse en una mera herramienta a las órdenes del emperador? Estaba harta de aquel lugar que se había convertido más en una prisión que en una academia, controlada y vigilada a todas horas.

Walking along Cullen Beach in Morayshire, we came across this striking specimen washed up on the sand ..
My topic for the calendar 2021 will be watersheds within Switzerland. So the one shot for November is done. Here between Lago Bianco in the foreground and Lej Nair in the background is the divide between the Adriatic sea (front) and Black sea (background). All the snow on the mountains will flow into the Inn and finally to the Black sea.
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.

This huge mushroom, some kind of Bolete I believe, was growing beneath a shrub. The cap is a foot across, I know this because I measured it with my foot!
It cannot be said often enough: do not eat yellow snow!
I took this photo at Mita Beach Ice, where I can go ice skating, drink mulled wine, and fool around during the winter months :)
My outfit is new. I found it at “V8 Underground” and it's called “Galdina X Christmas Style.”

Looking down the coire across Coire an Lochan below us to the blue waters of Loch Morlich in the distance, the town of Aviemore can just be made out to the left. But from here, on the Cairn Gorm plateau, we have a fine view west across the Scottish Highlands.
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
