i've been tagged....more than once, so here goes.......
photo taken by dw3844 a couple of years ago on one of our sister vacations in alabama.
1. I don't like having my picture made. would rather be behind the camera, not in front.
2. My husband, mike and i have been married for 19 years.
3. Maggie is my only "child" and she is very pampered and spoiled!
4. I have 3 older sisters. We don't live in the same state so I don't get to see them as often as I would like.

I've been using this image as my desktop background lately, partly because of the clean uncluttered look to it, but also to remind me to revisit the lake this year. Had a wonderful time exploring some new areas on last years visit, but the clear weather wasn't the best for photos... at least a few clouds did appear over the mountain for sunset.

G.A.S. issues and test. I came across this really great condition 'piano black' edition Pentax SL. I definitely don't need another camera or lens - but it was in such good shape. Lame excuse/justification I know - and it will need a slight CLA as its really quite hard to advance. But otherwise - just a few marks on the body and a bit of that sexy brassing😛
The clear and uncluttered viewfinder and body style of the SL - this is definitely my favourite model of all.

Sob a luz invernal de fevereiro, o Square du Vert-Galant, um jardim triangular situado na extremidade ocidental da Île de la Cité em Paris, revela a sua beleza singular. Observado a partir da Pont Neuf, o espaço verde, inaugurado em 1884, ocupa o local de antigas ilhotas consolidadas, situando-se sete metros abaixo do nível da rua. A designação homenageia Henrique IV, cuja estátua equestre domina o local, aludindo à sua reputação de "Vert-Galant". A paisagem despojada permite uma visão desobstruída do Sena, bifurcando-se e revelando a fachada imponente do Louvre na margem direita. Frequentado por locais e turistas, o jardim oferece um refúgio sereno, com bancos, caminhos pedonais e acesso ao cais, onde atracam barcos turísticos, refletindo a importância dos espaços verdes urbanos na integração da natureza, história e vida quotidiana no coração de Paris.
In the winter light of February, the Square du Vert-Galant, a triangular garden at the western end of the Île de la Cité in Paris, reveals its unique beauty. Seen from the Pont Neuf, this green space, inaugurated in 1884, occupies the site of former consolidated islets, lying seven meters below street level. The name pays homage to Henry IV, whose equestrian statue dominates the site, alluding to his reputation as the “Vert-Galant.” The uncluttered landscape allows an unobstructed view of the Seine, bifurcating and revealing the imposing facade of the Louvre on the right bank. Frequented by locals and tourists alike, the garden offers a serene retreat with benches, footpaths, and access to the quay where tourist boats dock, reflecting the importance of urban green spaces in integrating nature, history, and everyday life in the heart of Paris.
Just in time for the release of the movie “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens,” NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has photographed what looks like a cosmic, double-bladed lightsaber.
In the center of the image, partially obscured by a dark, Jedi-like cloak of dust, a newborn star shoots twin jets out into space as a sort of birth announcement to the universe.
“Science fiction has been an inspiration to generations of scientists and engineers, and the film series Star Wars is no exception,” said John Grunsfeld, astronaut and associate administrator for the NASA Science Mission directorate. “There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe."
This celestial lightsaber does not lie in a galaxy far, far away, but rather inside our home galaxy, the Milky Way. It’s inside a turbulent birthing ground for new stars known as the Orion B molecular cloud complex, located 1,350 light-years away.
When stars form within giant clouds of cool molecular hydrogen, some of the surrounding material collapses under gravity to form a rotating, flattened disk encircling the newborn star.
Though planets will later congeal in the disk, at this early stage the protostar is feeding on the disk with a Jabba-like appetite. Gas from the disk rains down onto the protostar and engorges it. Superheated material spills away and is shot outward from the star in opposite directions along an uncluttered escape route — the star’s rotation axis.
Shock fronts develop along the jets and heat the surrounding gas to thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. The jets collide with the surrounding gas and dust and clear vast spaces, like a stream of water plowing into a hill of sand. The shock fronts form tangled, knotted clumps of nebulosity and are collectively known as Herbig-Haro (HH) objects. The prominent HH object shown in this image is HH 24.
Just to the right of the cloaked star, a couple of bright points are young stars peeking through and showing off their own faint lightsabers — including one that has bored a tunnel through the cloud towards the upper-right side of the picture.
Overall, just a handful of HH jets have been spotted in this region in visible light, and about the same number in the infrared. Hubble’s observations for this image were performed in infrared light, which enabled the telescope to peer through the gas and dust cocooning the newly forming stars and capture a clear view of the HH objects.
These young stellar jets are ideal targets for NASA’s upcoming James Webb Space Telescope, which will have even greater infrared wavelength vision to see deeper into the dust surrounding newly forming stars.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, in Washington, D.C.

When contemplating this facade, I was immediately struck by this black structure with golden edges that seemed to float against the concrete, like a musical score etched into matter. I wanted to capture this duality between the mathematical rigor of the architecture and the almost poetic dimension created by the rhythmic repetition of elements.
The soft daylight allowed me to reveal the subtle variations of blue in the raw concrete, creating a cold yet living backdrop for these black blades with their warm edges. I chose a frontal, uncluttered framing to transform this portion of architecture into a visual abstraction close to painting.
In this quest for the essential, I sought to transcend the purely functional nature of the building to reveal its sculptural and meditative dimension. What fascinated me was the tension between the horizontality of the lines and the ascending movement of the whole - as if these black and gold strata were levitating, defying gravity and transforming concrete into a canvas for contemporary architectural calligraphy.

Jahrhundertelang drehten sich auf der unteren Mur dank der unerschöpflichen Kraft des Wassers die großen Räder der Schiffsmühle.
Die Mühle wurde 1997 nach originalem Vorbild wieder errichtet und ist die einzige schwimmende und funktionierende Mühle Mitteleuropas in traditioneller Bauweise.
I had originally not anticipated shooting lightning, because locally it is often so ephemeral. But while at the marina, it contiinued. So I quickly tried to think of where I could get an angle at which the lightning would reflect off the bay, and headed to the Morro Bay Natural History Museum. I took some long exposures to hopefully catch a flash of lightning and, while I expected the lightning reflections, the effects in the clouds were more than I expected. Photoshop helped with the noise. Morro Bay, CA
As I add this to a "most interesting" group, I add this note:
This photo has been at the top of my "interesting" list since it made the flickr Explore page and I have gotten responses from around the world. I assume the allure is the combination of lightning (with its attendant energy/electricity), landscape and reflection in a relatively uncluttered composition--at least that's what it is for me.
Please - you really need to View On Black!
For The Rogue Players Dof Fiends, FGR Uncluttered, and of course Bokeh Wednesday.
Also it's about time I posted to my mate Abe's fab new group Theme Of The Week so I give you my representation of air.
I'd originally planned a SP using bubbles but that didn't work out so I went with this instead - taken while sitting on my doorstep. It was a lucky capture as I only got a few shots before the wind started blowing and I had to give up. We've just been having fun with bubbles at bathtime too - E has enjoyed catching them on her hand and popping them. We love bubbles!
This is the male cheetah that I have already posted a few high key shots of. This is when we first caught up with him first thing in the morning and he did move around a little. There were a few cars at the sighting which made it difficult to get a good uncluttered shot as he wove between the vehicles. He didn’t move far.

Heal's Department Store, London, England
Most photographers in London have seen or even visited the wonderful staircase at the Heal's Department store, the one with the awesome chandelier in the middle of it well this is that same staircase before they renovated it. No chandelier there and looking rather different to what it is now.
Don't get me wrong, I love the new staircase and how it looks now but there is something that I really like about the old staircase, maybe its is honesty and its worn feel or maybe its the fact that it looks slightly uncluttered compared to what it is now, I am just not sure. My favourite part of the staircase within this photo is the darkening on each stair and how each one is unique and different, to me this is part of the character of the staircase.
Which is your favourite, the way it is here or the way it is now? Cast your votes now :-).

My post from yesterday did not appear in the defective and constantly buggy Activity Feed, so it received 0 faves and only 3 comments. Flickr is looking into it. I know lots of us are having similar "issues"... anyway, it's a new day, let's see what happens with this.
Still at Muir Beach, northwest of Sooke on Vancouver Island. This Great Blue Heron was actively fishing on the rocky shore, and having great success. Here, it has just given its head a shake. I found a good working distance at which it seemed unconcerned. I'm sure it helped that no other humans were on the beach that February day. Cloudy bright sky, threatening rain but not raining, nice soft light.
Conventional wisdom says minimize white sky in most photo situations, but that's just another rule, and rules are made to be broken. Here the white sky became a negative space that resulted in a clean, uncluttered look that I liked a lot.

Just a simple portrait of a widespread breeding bird, but I managed to get an uncluttered background. This was taken at St Aidans RSPB reserve in the Aire Valley yesterday afternoon. You can see all the diagnostic features here; black-tipped scarlet bill, longish legs, and a tail that does not extend beyond the wingtips at rest. Although it is called Common Tern, and it is the one that most people will be familiar with, numerically it is much rarer than Arctic Tern in Britain. We have about 10,000 breeding pairs of Common Tern in Britain, whereas the similar Arctic Tern numbers 53,000 pairs. But Arctic Terns usually nest at high density at a relatively few sites all at the coast, whereas a pair or two of Common Terns nest on inland waterbodies throughout Britain.
The scientific name of Common Tern is Sterna hirundo, the last name it shares with the generic name for Swallow (Hirundo rustica). Named because of the similar forked tail, terns were once known as Sea-swallows.
Early morning view of this lovely ex fishing village on the Costa Brava which has now expanded into a popular holiday spot gladly without the inevitable hideous tall buildings . Busy during the day but early morning after the sun comes up if you are happy to perch on a rock with a wobbly travel tripod you can get this kind of uncluttered peaceful view

Burggasse 15 - Graz
Dem Projekt liegt ein Architekturwettbewerb zugrunde, aus dem die Architektin Zaha Hadid als Preisträger hervorging. So ist das Erscheinungsbild des Gebäudes geprägt von der Art der stark dreidimensionalen Fassadengestaltung. Jeder Raum der Wohngeschoße findet seinen Abschluss in einem "Bubble", einem organisch geformten Fertigteil aus einer Faserzement-Composite-Konstruktion, der als Loggia oder Erker genutzt werden kann. Die beiden Sockelgeschoße werden von einer Glasfassade gesäumt. Auch die Dachform geht fließend in die Wandfläche über, und wird ebenfalls mit Faserbeton-Fertigteilen bekleidet.
Das Vorgängerhaus aus der Nachkriegszeit wurde 1985 abgetragen und durch das heutige Haas-Haus ersetzt, das am 19. September 1990 eröffnet wurde. Das vom Architekten Hans Hollein geplante Bauwerk setzt insbesondere durch den verspiegelten Erker einen starken städtebaulichen Akzent. Da das Gebäude einen extremen Kontrast zum gegenüberliegenden Stephansdom bildet, sorgte es zur Zeit der Errichtung für Debatten: Es war zu seiner Zeit noch umstrittener als der Vorgängerbau, und kontroverse Stimmen forderten eine in das historistische Altstadt-Ensemble eingefügte rekonstruktive Maßnahme.
Erdbeermond (englisch Strawberry Moon) ist ein landläufiger Ausdruck für einen Vollmond im Juni.
Alle 18 Jahre steht der Vollmond besonders tief. Nach dem 11. Juni 2025 wird dies erst wieder im Jahr 2043 der Fall sein.
I saw this from my hotel balcony and thought wasn't sure what it was, I considered not going to investigate but I'm glad I did, this is quite an early Alpine, with the grey bumpers. I like the design of these, it's very uncluttered. The Alpine formed the base for one of my favourite cars, the Moskvich Aleko
I never got a good panning shot with the new camera so this was great when I got an uncluttered panning shot of an amazing-looking C63 AMG Black Series.

Holy cow I should be in bed...but we went to see Kate's summer play Priscilla...Queen of the Damned. I'll explain more later, needless to say I needed to get a picture of Kate trying to vamp up the busty victim I brought. It only makes sense.
If you're in the know I'm uploading all the play pictures to the Broadway Chorus group. I'll eventually unlock a few choice ones here but for the most part they'll all be there to keep things uncluttered for y'all.
I eventually want to erase the dudes in the background.
John Martin Quartet
John Martin - Tenor & Soprano Sax
Jonjo Grisdale - Piano
Tim Fairhall - Double Bass
Andy Ball - Drums
This gig falls 4 days after the release of John Martin's debut album on the "F-ire" label. www.f-ire.com
The album, entitled "Dawning" reveals a young saxophonist/composer with a warm and engaging voice, mature and emotionally fluent on his instrument. His writing combines joyful African-inspired grooves, dark Mehldau-ish harmony, contemporary odd-time meters, and the folky European sound reminiscent of Keith Jarrett’s early quartet with Jan Garbarek.
‘Dawning’ represents the starting point of a journey full of promise. It has been recorded beautifully at Artesuono studio in Italy, and is characterized by a warm and open sound, and a certain emotional directness. Martin’s uncluttered improvisations and the dynamic structures created by the band respond to a wide range of inspiration, from English jazz and folk and the ECM sound to Wayne Shorter and the downtown New York scene.
“This album should be heard and bought” - Kenny Wheeler
“This is an honest, cohesive and sophisticated release –
a band to listen out for in 2011 and a credit to the F-ire collective” Iain Ballamy
