As the heavens prepare for an imminent downpour, nature paints a breathtaking scene in the mountains of Tuscany.
Italy experiences a period of intense rainfall as dark clouds dominate the sky. The relentless downpour transforms the landscape, turning streets into temporary rivers and fields into saturated patches of earth. People navigate through the rain, seeking shelter and utilizing umbrellas and raincoats to stay dry. The heavy rainfall showcases the power and unpredictability of nature, reminding us of our vulnerability in the face of natural forces.
The imposing geology of the Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Giant's Causeway, located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
Le châtelet d’entrée a été transformé en musée et le château Egeskov slot est situé au Egeskov Gade 18, Kværndrup, île de Fionie au Danemark.
Une vue à partir des jardins du château.
Majestueux et privé, le château, débuté au 14e siècle, a été achevé en 1554 sur une île, au milieu d'un lac bordé d'une forêt. Sa construction sur une grande quantité de pilotis de chêne aurait « coûté la vie à toute une forêt de chênes », d'où son nom Egeskov signifiant forêt de chênes. Ce château Renaissance à vocation initialement défensive est passé aux mains des ancêtres de l'actuel propriétaire en 1784. Celui-ci, le comte Ahlefeldt-Laurving-Bille, un grand collectionneur d'engins mécaniques l'habite toujours et le château n'est visitable qu'en partie.
Le château est reconnu en Europe comme le mieux préservé des châteaux Renaissance bâtis sur une île. On y admire notamment la Grande Salle de banquet, restaurée en 1975, et, disséminés ici et là, des trophées de chasse rapportés d'Afrique par l'avant-dernier propriétaire. À proximité, un musée de 3 000 m2, créé par le propriétaire, présente sa collection de voitures anciennes, d'avions, de motos et de voitures à chevaux.
Mais ce sont les jardins privés du domaine de 15 ha, créés au 18e siècle et entourant le château, qui constitue son joyau. Les jardins ont évolué grandement au fil des ans mais le plan date de 1730 lorsque Niels Krag conçut le jardin à la française qui en 1962 fut remplacé par le jardin actuel de style Renaissance par le français Ferdinant Duprat avec ses topiaires en forme de pyramide et de spirales. Un pont-levis datant de la fin du 19e siècle relie le château à une superbe avant-cour où errent des paons blancs. On découvre au-delà une partie des 750 ha de terres cultivées qui font depuis longtemps la fortune d'Egeskov.

Transforming a deer photograph into a Van Gogh-style masterpiece using AI is a fascinating blend of nature and artistry! Here’s how you can do it:
Capturing the Deer
- Lighting & Composition: Opt for soft, natural light, preferably during golden hour, to highlight the texture of the deer’s fur.
- Background: Consider framing the deer against a dramatic landscape—perhaps misty woods or a sunlit field—to enrich the final aesthetic.
- Movement vs. Stillness: A standing, contemplative deer might suit a portrait effect, while one mid-stride could add dynamic energy.
AI Style Transfer
To achieve a Van Gogh effect:
- Use Style Transfer Tools: Platforms like Deep Dream Generator, Runway ML, or Prisma allow AI to overlay famous artistic styles.
- Adjust Brushstroke Effects: Van Gogh’s style is known for bold brushwork and swirling patterns, so tweak settings to exaggerate movement in the image.
- Color Enhancements: Amplify the saturation and introduce warm yellows, deep blues, and contrasting greens—hallmarks of his palette.
- Texture Refinement: Some tools let you emphasize impasto-like effects, mimicking his thick paint application.
Would you like advice on the best software for achieving this transformation? Or perhaps some tips on fine-tuning the AI-generated output?

There’s something deeply transformative about watching the sun gently touch the dunes, as if time slows down to remind us of what truly matters. Every grain of sand holds the memory of ancient winds, movements beyond our control yet shaping us all the same. In this open space, we’re invited to quiet our minds and feel the weight of our footprints, knowing they’ll soon disappear. Life, much like the dunes, is shaped by the unexpected and the fleeting. And maybe that’s what makes it so beautiful: the fact that everything is temporary, but, for a brief moment, entirely ours.
" Symbolisme : La forme dure et épineuse du chardon bleu représente la force, la résilience et l'endurance. Il symbolise également l'indépendance, la régénération et la transformation. "

As the sun retreats behind Mount Serapi, the Sarawak River transforms into a shimmering canvas of gold and deep blue. Silhouetted against the glow, a Pak Tambang rows his traditional wooden boat, a silent custodian of an age-old river culture. The gentle ripples of his passage reflect a heritage that has stood the test of time, linking past and present as the Malay kampung lights begin to flicker along the riverbanks.

L’ossuaire date du 17ème siècle. Il était incorporé au cimetière situé autour de l’église. L’enclos paroissial étant désaffecté, l’ossuaire gênant la circulation, les Allemands voulurent le raser, il a aussi été déplacé en 1941/1942. Il s’agit d’une tombe collective utilisée avant la Révolution. A l’époque de la construction de l’ossuaire, le cimetière était un lieu de vie, une foire où avaient lieu des manifestations joyeuses. Cet ossuaire est en granit, d’architecture lourde, la toiture est en dalle de pierre et l’ouverture décorée de 2 collerettes.
En 1861, le curé-doyen de Plélan, l’Abbé Morin, souhaita rassembler ces trois croix pour édifier un calvaire, destiné aux processions de la Fête-Dieu. On éleva donc une butte mi-circulaire maintenue par une murette avec une rampe de terre pour l’accès sur une terre marécageuse au niveau de l’actuelle salle des fêtes. Lors de la construction de la salle des fêtes, les 3 croix furent déplacées d’une vingtaine de mètres sur la route de Saint-Maudez (actuelle médiathèque). Cette nouvelle localisation à côté d’un transformateur électrique fit polémique et en 1971 la municipalité ordonna un nouveau transfert, près du cimetière.
Les 2 croix latérales sont des croix dite « pattées », ce sont en fait des croix latines dont les branches s’élargissent aux extrémités. Elles encadrent la troisième croix, plus curieuse, en forme de croix de Lorraine à double traverse, dont le fut est légèrement galbé. Les socles de ces croix, plus anciens, furent choisis sur le chemin de l’Etrat (la route de Corseul à Vannes).
L'ossuaire du xviie siècle, qui était autrefois adossé au mur du cimetière et a été déplacé en 1937. Inscrit au titre des Monuments historiques en 1926.

Macro Mondays
{BAM 17 of 52}
Theme: Transformation
I normally don't wear this much make-up but when I do I can honestly say I feel transformed. lol
Happy Macro Monday everyone! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
By the way my eyebrows are having a bad day lol
My local pier, which is no longer in use, has fallen into a state of disrepair. I still see it as a thing of beauty and interest. I captured this image at sunrise yesterday and although there was little colour, due to the impending rain clouds, the Long Exposure gave some lovely movement in the sky and smoothed the water nicely. Beauty from something which at first glance, was not so beautiful.
I reckon this shot is a bit too late for the movie - Transformer. I didn't even realise this shot is in my archives... that's what happen when one has too much crap in his harddrive :P Anyway, its still better late than never! Sorry its a post & run this morning as its way past midnight here & I'm going to transform myself into a sleeping log now. Should see you shortly soon! ciao!

Super-Padd has almost recovered from the accident.
He was on his way to Mummy Marian's house when he collided with the sliding door on landing. He was unconscious for a while and suffered from paw problems.
He now wants to meet Paddy, Daddy Jesse and all the other bears who live in Australia.
Peter told Super-Padd about the secret magical portal in Mummy Marian's garden and also told him when you go through the portal you are in Australia.
But..because S-Padd is too big, he cannot go through the portal.
Peter asked for help from the fairy-mother.
She came immediately with fairy-dust.
Peter took Super-Padd to the agreed place in the garden after sunset.....
SUPER-PADD:
I do find it a bit scary Peter.
I don't know what's happening.
PETER:
Have faith in the Fairy Mother....look...there she is already!!!!
FAIRY-MOTHER:
I don't have much time Peter and Super-Padd. So if you stay still, I'll do the spell and sprinkle fairy-dust all over you Super-Padd. Then you can go through the gate.
It takes a few seconds to transform.
If there are any problems, you can send me an app.
Here we go....
Fairy Mother does the spell...sprinkles fairydust all over Super-Padd.
After that, she disappeared.
The fairy-dust circles around Super-Padd. Fog forms...a thud....and....
PETER:
Huh....Super Padd....where are you???????
SUPER-PADD: (replies in a small voice)
Here Peter!!!
Boy are you big! What happened to you?????

One afternoon last week, the light was intense coming through trees over our parking lot. I thought I'd try a multiple exposure, having not done one in a long time. And then, the image above was enhanced with Topaz software.
It's gotten hot in Jerusalem with the temperature nudging 90/f this afternoon. Hope you are having a warm and productive day.

Prisma is a photographic application that transforms normal photos into amazing images that attempt to replicate the human artistic touch. This phone-based app turns photographs into digital art in the style of drawings, watercolors, and paintings.
This two-acre plot of earth at the corner of El Camino Real ("The King's Highway") and Baldwin Street in San Mateo, California is perhaps the most venerable and historic site in the city. For over 150 years (since 1866) it has been the location of the Episcopal Church of St. Matthew, making it the oldest continually-used location in the city.
The devastating 1906 earthquake ruined the 1866 church and its fabulous bell tower. On May 15, 1910, the congregation buried a new cornerstone, containing all the artifacts from the original stone. Under the spiritual guidance of Reverend Neptune Blood William Gallaway, famed church architect Willis Polk engineered the new edifice. Considered one of the most beautiful houses of worship in California, it recalls the 11th century Stokes Poges Church in London, where Thomas Gray reportedly penned the poem "Elegy in a Country Churchyard."

I suppose it only fitting that life will take root in the structure itself. You see bricks are made from clay and concrete is made from lime, sand and gravel. So, the trees find a way to latch onto the core materials of the building. As they do, with a helping hand from rain and freezing temretures, the once rock hard building materials return to their soil beginnings, providing more material for nature to take root. Nothing goes to waste.
As the sun sets over the Utah Canyonlands, the sky ignites with a breathtaking display of colors that paints the horizon in a fiery glow. With every passing moment, the rugged beauty of the park transforms into an otherworldly landscape, leaving you spellbound by the power and grandeur of nature.
1920's Bathroom
Light walls, White woodwork, a smart pattern in linoleum, modern fittings and colorful towels, sash curtains and bath rug, transform old and dingy bathrooms into attractive modern ones.
When she transformed into a butterfly,
the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty,
but of her weirdness.
They wanted her to change back
into what she had always been.
But she had wings.
-Dean Jackson
A few weeks ago Alex Currie, Valerie Kasinski, Elaina Trapani and I took a little road-trip to Taughannock falls.
Elaina gracefully modeled this set of wings and looked absolutely magical! I made the wings a few weeks prior, they are manually cut, painted, wired, and stitched together by hand. I have a few more test wings to create and then may start selling on etsy!
