Utterly amazed and humbled how quick this milestone has come, thank you everyone who continues to visit the ZZR and ride through the beautiful area that has become Seogyeoshire.

“Oh, he did look like a deity – the perfect balance of danger and charm, he was at the same time fascinating and inaccessible, distant because of his demonstrated flawlessness, and possessing such strength of character that he was dismaying and at the same time utterly attractive in an enticing and forbidden way.”
― Simona Panova, Nightmarish Sacrifice

Utterly loving the new Taxi from Lusch Motors, i regretted not buying the original on my first avi... so i am supah happy this electric one was released! of course i had to pinkify it!
Completely and utterly in love with Tasmania ... this is about a 5 minute walk from our hotel accomodation. Pristine wilderness all to myself ... I couldn't believe it. I pay homage to those that fought so hard to preserve this wilderness wonderland.
On my way to the utterly splendid Aquarium - with a vast array of small sea creatures in finely maintained terrariums and aquariums - I walked through Nishikaigan Park. It's a breathing space on high dunes between the city proper of Niigata and the Sea of Japan. That park has many shrines and memorials most of which remained a mystery to me, clueless with regard to Japanese language. But I did find a monument marked in English. It was erected in a high place by the friends of Ango Sakaguchi (1906-1955) upon his death. Sakaguchi was a proponent of 'decadent' literature. And that 'decadence' was not of the soft and ripe kind. But rather, as Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) said: his prose, like vodka and gin, is brutally strong. When I was a young student and in thrall to Mishima I'd not yet heard of Sakaguchi but came to his work (in translation) later. Mishima is right!
Anyway, I was lucky on the path above the beach to see row upon row of Roundleaf Chastetree. And the color of the flowers - lavender - immediately reminded me of decadence! and hence of Mishima and Sakaguchi, who hails from Niigata.

This utterly stunning view, taken from the top of Bratton Castle on Monday 25th May 2020, shows the famous White Horse of Westbury, and the extensive panoramic view towards Bath and Bristol. Must visit for anyone in the area.
Utterly love the fact i can fly from the Railway to the beautiful mainland of Bellisseria. Came out here as i heard rumours that the SS Galaxy has sailed out to Bellisseria.
A few months ago, on one of my occasional weekend space-trips, I had picked up a magic lens that was capable of time-travel and simultaneous thematic image capture across multiple time-windows ;-) Since then this magic lens has received multiple automatic software-upgrades transmitted via the medium of sun-rays ;-) It seems to me that the upgraded lens has now begun to exhibit early signs of appreciating human speech and emotions :-O This realization dawned on me during my recent stay in Pondicherry (Paris of the East).
One evening in Pondicherry I had set up my camera with the magic lens, on a tripod, near the old pier hoping to capture a few interesting blue-hour photos. Out of the blue, an old friend of mine, who I had not met for a while, spotted me there on his evening walk. Soon we were totally engrossed in a deep conversation about one of our favorite subjects - visual arts - and dwelt quite a bit on the first fully painted animated feature film Loving Vincent. After my friend departed I turned to my camera to discover that (and this is a bit of a guesswork on my part) - the magic lens had felt badly neglected and utterly bored during the time I was talking to my friend :-( and since I had left the camera switched on, the magic lens had decided to make a definitive point to me by clicking, on its own, a bunch of 'art-like' photos ( à la Vincent van Gogh paintings) >:-{
By the time I got back to the camera, I was left with a completely drained camera battery and a whole lot of art-like photos taken by the magic lens! This is one of the better ones, in my opinion, from that lot. Hope you all like it :-)
Happy Slider Sunday!

the most impressive and utterly delightful entrance to CastleBrando, once you have mastered the ascend by funicular :)
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday everyone!
It really was utterly miserable and wet this morning when I took this photo on the Westminster Bridge but worth getting wet to get the shot I wanted :)
In the background, just visible through the rain, is Lambeth Bridge and St. George tower.

We could hardly contain our delight and excitement after spotting two little owlets sitting in the trees! Not too far from where we had seen the adult. Adorable is an understatement!!
Witnessing the harsh, cold, but utterly beautiful lands of Iceland was an incredible experience, something I dreamt for a long time. It was amazing, mesmerizing and life changing. Because I am still drunk of Iceland, I've already booked another trip there, at the end of May, when I hope I will see a green scenery. But in the meanwhile, here it is a view of amazing Vestrahorn seen from the eastern side across the Atlantic Ocean, from the Eystrahorn.
i am so very thankful for this man...
for his strength and guidance.
for his friendship and care.
for his magical brain and sense of humor.
for the thousand ways he takes care of me each day.
for the person he is on the good and hard days.
for the kindness he shows to everyone he meets.
I'm the luckiest girl. ♥
Technically, this is a terrible shot because of the distance and graininess. I just so loved the human aspect of this shot and sometimes it's not the clarity that counts!. They had just mated and groomed each other.

The red shouldered hawk isl if truly a bird of beauty and set against the high key sky it shows off his incredible color, detail and magnificence I love birds of prey and always feel very fortunate when we have an opportunity to photograph them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wishing you all a very beautiful and blessed evening !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm utterly enchanted by the green june beetles in my backyard. This is Stanley. The foliage he's climbing out of is the blue butterfly pea (see the previous pic in my photostream).
The pic posted below is the same shot of Stanley, with a different crop. Couldn't decide which I liked better -- which do you fine people prefer?
Personally, I think it's a shame that this type of photo is so utterly oversaturated by "street photographers" that point their DSLRs at every single person that crosses their path, despite having no discernible quality whatsoever, that it has become completely irrelevant. I think it's a shame because it forms the basics of street photography and if done well can be pleasing and interesting on many levels.
One of the things I like about street photography is the challenge to portray the ordinary in an extraordinary way. We can't all be compositional masters, but taking the same photo over and over with a telephoto lens of random people walking towards you from the waist up surely can't be in any way fulfilling? It's not even trying.
Nor can it be fulfilling the empty comments that ensue. When the 'depth of field', 'subject separation', 'nice tones', 'good expression' gratuitous comments are exhausted it then follows to comment only on the subjects attributes, because the actual photo has no merit in its own right. It's not a considered photo that has been taken for any reason, it's random thoughtless snapping.
I have read the opinions of a few of these 'random-people-snappers' and they say how shocking it is, the style of Bruce Gilden and (recently highlighted) Tatsuo Suzuki and how they would only ever treat their subjects with respect etc. yet in their bodies of snaps they have hundreds (from their multiple thousands of almost identical captures) of images of disgruntled people staring into the lens angrily and obviously questioning why they are being photographed. I question it also and wonder what purpose these snaps could ever serve.
Some of these 'snappers' even teach street photography! I've always wondered what the conversation / lesson would go like...
Student: What should I do first?
Master Snapper: Buy an expensive camera.
Student: What about the settings?
Master Snapper: Auto.
Student: Now what?
Master Snapper: Point the camera at a person.
Student: Then?
Master Snapper: Press the shutter button.
Student: What about the composition?
Master Snapper: That is the composition.
Anyway, it's just an opinion. It's all subjective, right?

Listening to this ^ number side-by-side ... one of my faves .. and dont ask how many times Ive seen this film ... probably hundreds ;)
The shot was taken at Cirencester: one of the most beautiful towns in UK I've seen so far. Not far from London. And utterly classy and beautiful.
If you get a chance ... do visit ;-)
An utterly miserable day! Rain, wind and more rain.
On the plus side... my Paramo trousers still fit! I haven't worn them since the first few weeks of moving in and feared for the worst! Also it took a little longer today before the Sciatica kicked in hard , about 10 minutes rather than 4. I put this down to sticking to easier (paved) terrain for the start of my half hour walk rather than straight over the fields.

Yellow Columbine - 041121 - LR
Utterly extraordinary. This spot has not seen standing water in 50 years. But a deluge the previous month brought badly needed rain -- Morocco had been in the grip of a 6-year drought -- and flash floods that pooled at the foot of Erg Chebbi, sand dunes in eastern Morocco. 28 people were killed by flooding in the mountains after an extratropical storm brought a year's worth of rain in 2 days.
Looking utterly forlorn in 1997, Swinford saw its last trains in the winter 1975, regular passengers services ending in 1963. Although the section remains closed, the rails have never been officially recovered and remain in sections, awaiting the many reopening proposals that have been delayed over the years.
Maybe it’s time to put our massive global digital tax windfall surplus back in neglected physical infrastructure that has always been so lacking, especially west of the Shannon.

I failed. I utterly failed. I failed at last year‘s project.
Thank you for having me back. I’m not sure exactly how many years I’ve been doing this. I promise to do better than last year. However, that bar is pretty darn low. I know, lots of excuses why last year was a failure. Many of those reasons are self evident. There’s a world wide pandemic! Yep, it’s worse in the good old USA. I live in Washington DC, “inside the beltway“, so lots of distraction.
Maybe i’m (chest)nuts for hoping this year will be better.
Wishing everyone a happy new year.
I have been VERY excited to put this blog together. It’s taken so long because there are so many images I love from the Tetons part of my trip. I confess I have been binge processing them in my computer’s dark room, rather than writing. Now comes the second best part of being in the...
Taken today from the bridge at Ware looking along the River Lea.
Slightly tweaked.
Much better large please xx
I am completely and utterly in love with Iceland. Editing all these photos from our adventures there in May is killing me, I am so ready to return to this beautifully strange place right now!

so, for the first time in my life, i actually captured lightning. it was utterly amazing.
i was just reading on the couch inside the beach house and camille came in and told me to come out to see the lightning, and i didn't really want to go at first because i was in the middle of a really good part, ha. but oh goodness, i am so glad i did. so i got my cam and i just kinda messed with the shutter speed until i found the bulb setting. then we decided to go stand at the edge of the ocean and take them. so we ran down in the complete darkness...because there are really no lights at all on the beach...which is really wonderful because i hate all those lights back home.
anyways, after a while, the storm starting coming closer and closer until we could feel the mist and the wind was so strong and it was getting colder and so we ran and laughed and it was crazy and beautiful and i am so glad that i was alive to have experienced it and then when we got back to the beach house we had to take all the towels down from the railings and off the clothes lines and it was an adventure and i love that i went outside instead of reading at that moment.
God is so brilliant. i only captured this photograph, this glorious moment in time, so quick, barely missed, yet, He, in all of his vastness, created the light, the veins in the sky. i cannot believe that He is that great, and even greater, yet he makes himself close enough to know me, to love me, and embrace me, and remind me that I, that we, you and I, are his masterpiece. even greater are we than this lightning.

There is something so utterly magical about how nature has taken over the temples of Ta Phrom. How the tree roots and trunk bind together the structure and become a part of it. No matter how many times you see it, every time you look at it and gawk in wonder.
See the mysterious embrace of Ta Phrom.

While in Washington DC for my brother's wedding, I became utterly enchanted with a bit of multimedia art in the National Gallery of Art.
Multiverse was installed by artist Leo Villareal in a 200-foot-long tunnel connecting the East building to the West building. It's an installation of thousands of LED lights, and it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. This page features a video that captures Multiverse in action.
I wish I could have spent an hour just hanging out in this tunnel. It was fascinating and beautiful. One of those simple, genius ideas that was executed perfectly.
