Strong windgusts create blowing snow at sharp mountain edges, glowing in the backlight, near Myre on Norway's Vesterålen islands. The same wind is used by a white-tailed eagle to climb higher and higher.

Little Black Cormorant (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) - it feels great to be able to visit the wetlands and parks, even within the prescribed 25 km radius, for no reason again ;-)
Spotting a Nankeen Kestrel within the first few minutes of my return to the wetlands today was a real treat. Shortly thereafter, it joined another on a nearby tree – a pair indeed!
(Falco cenchroides)
All of the angles, corners, and glass & steel in Chicago means there are interesting photography spots to find - like where a sliver of a sunset meets reflected light.
to all of the wonderful people in my life who make me feel like this on a daily basis.... I am privileged to call you my friends. thank you <333
With winter seeming to break its icy grip on us finally, the warmer temps been uplifting. Taking advantage of the better weather on my late lunch break, CN Q149 splits the signals at Kearsley and passes by the fresh blue water that the control point runs through. It almost felt like beach weather today shooting, but, not quite.
When someone is inspired to create a Poem, he/she is uplifted!!
When someone is uplifted, he/she is temporarily found in a very original, private, personal world of Beauty (or not…), inspiration, and refinement, extreme pleasure (or not…). He/she feels strong emotions and sensations, while creating his/her poem; a huge creativity!!
Poetry in Nature is the creation of Mother Nature’s upliftment!! Which creates enchantment, creativity and inspiration in certain humans..
Lake Genval in Autumn is a Pure Poetry!
Following on from the POTUS departure, the two US Marine Corps HMX-1 Sikorsky VH-3D Sea Kings BuAerNo's 159356 & 159354 lift away from Heathrow to return to RAF Northolt to overnight there before being collected by C-17 transports the next day
However, with Northolt being marginal for loaded C-17 transports those flights then routed via Mildenhall for further fuel uptake for the long haul back to Quantico, Virginia

Milwaukee Road 113A is having an uplifting experience after hitting the ditch on the Ellie Sub. The Bucyrus Erie 250 ton MILW X18 was called to the incident to get the F7 back on track.
The X18 is a 1/29th scale scratch-built, functioning big hook. Building the X18 was pretty easy, adding the cables, well that's a whole other story.

Low clouds obscure the highest peaks of the Victoria Cross Range, and the sun filters through a chance opening to illuminate the distant uplifted sediments that long ago departed the angle of their origins, Jasper National Park, Alberta. Emigrants Mountain (8,376 ft; 2,553 m) is on the right, and Mount McKean (8,999 ft; 2,743 m) is second from left.
A portion of Monarch Meadows forms a long, relatively even slope that gradually pinches to a narrow but easily navigable pass. In this photo I am looking down that slope and back the way I traveled while my friend and hiking partner climbs toward me. We were not sure what we would find over the pass as we entered the Snaring River drainage, but even at the time the name left me somewhat apprehensive. Our reading of the maps suggested a steep, forested valley would need to be negotiated on the other side before we could ascend above tree-line to yet another pass. The upside to the high route and its attendant passes was that we hoped to avoid many miles of travel through dense forest and downed logs. The downside is that we did not know how steep and negotiable (or not) the passes might be. As I mentioned previously, the 100 ft. (40 m) contour intervals on our maps are capable of concealing a great deal. Moreover, it was never exactly clear just what density of contour intervals translated to 'impassable', as even small cliffs might be problematic.
The upper reaches of the Meadows did reveal one abundantly clear lesson: there is a considerable amount of water moving through these mountains. As we approached the narrow pass, the ground remained spongy and dotted with sedge-lined pools, though there was hardly any watershed remaining. The pass itself began to form a stream on either side as soon as a slope became discernible. The soil at the pass was loose and coarse, and we counted not one, not two, but three impressive piles of Grizzly Bear scat right at the high point. It was comical to imagine so many bears gaining this commanding viewpoint and then consistently being moved to defecate as they contemplated their next move.

FAVOURITE COLOUR COMBINATION...
The w-e upon us, I'll be working, pfft, if you can call it that?
Doing what you love??? Making images?
Again somebody wrote to me how, on a stressful day, they open my latest upload, they feel uplifted and positive... the world becomes a better place... I'm only quoting.
Wow, that is achieving my goal! All I want...
I am happy! ¡Olé!'
Fuchsia flowers, some of the last from the garden, the were dangling precariously in the strong wind… I took pity on them lol.
So delicate and pretty and in a lovely colour-combinations!
From a dark pink to a dusky pink.
Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees.
The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in 1703 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier.
He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.
The Fuchsia flower has four long, slender sepals and four shorter, broader petals; in many species the sepals are bright red and the petals purple (colours that attract the hummingbirds that pollinate them), but the colours can vary from white to dark red, purple-blue, and orange...
Thank you for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

Door County, Route - G
About halfway between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor was this beautiful little park. It had a large cement dock, picnic areas and a small ball field.
There was one bench on the dock facing the water. My bride said, "It's a good thing we don't live near here, you would be on that bench watching the clouds and water all day!"
Yup, she knows me pretty well! :)

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I generally see in black and white when I am shooting street, in terms of visualising my shots, but a splash of colour amid the dull hues can really sing out to me. Seems that she agrees too, the orange-red among the blues is fabulous. Enjoy!
I really do not know for sure which one of these captures, that I present today to you, I love most !!! Because, all of them, represent one of my mostly loved spots in my beloved Château-land -- Château De La Hulpe. These captures are taken on a bright , sunny, November day. I was standing just a few meters away in each , while being always at the same spot….It is a magical , inspiring, and uplifting place, especially between mid October and mid November….
This is a part of my personal “Château secret path” of about 30’-45’ in my beloved Château Forest(s). Every time I arrive here, I stop, breathe deeply, look around in deep admiration and awe, listen to the sounds, and say….”thank You!!”(…and then, I start photo-shooting…). Right here, the path close to the first water-side stops, so I have to turn around the water-side, in order to follow the other side of my path, again close to the waters…Just like walking alongside a large, river-like pond, surrounded by a magical, colourful woodland…..
(*** It is really worthed, to experience these captures in LARGE, in case you have some time available…)

This landscape belongs to the sandstone peak forest landform in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China. Crustal uplift changed the sedimentary rock stratum into a hilly and mountainous area, then the sandstone was carved by exogenic processes like weathering and erosion into rugged rock pillars.
Zhuangjiajie is known for its breathtaking landscape of majestic mountains. It made the news after James Cameron's blockbuster Avatar movie and by the success of wingsuit skydivers flying through the hole in the needle of Tianmen Mountains. UNESCO World Heritage site Wulingyuan is within the Zhuanjiajie National Park.

I think color, shade and contrast can really be “Uplifting.” When one comes across the brightness of a Rose, a Violet or let’s say a daisy it can bring a smile on our face. Natural beauty does it to me whether seasonal beauty, an animal or a person it can change in an instant. Beauty can be uplifting. Gratitude and Kindness in the mix can only help.
