I remember that marvellous sunset on Koh Tao, an island north of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. I had walked into the sea to capture the scenery photographically and was knee-deep in the water until I felt something like a sting or bite in my lower right leg. All I remember is that I hit it and immediately left the water. On the beach I then saw about 20 small skin lesions like punctures from a biopsy with a diameter of about 1 mm and the leg was bleeding quite profusely. Jellyfish alarm! Fortunately, we hadn't been far from our little hotel and I got vinegar for the wound there straight away. You actually use this to loosen a stuck jellyfish, but it didn't do any harm either. Unfortunately, I didn't have my emergency allergy kit for such cases (antihistamine, cortisone and an adrenaline pen) with me, but had it in my hotel room...;) That could have ended badly. I was really glad I hadn't gone swimming in the sea (I never do it after sunset). In Thailand, there are always deaths from large-scale contact with devil jellyfish. In a situation like that, you actually are shocked at first.
Yes, when you travel a lot, the strangest things happen to you. Once a snake flew towards us at the waterfall, that wasn't so funny either. But the number one story so far was when we were caught by a current in the sea. Horror stories, luckily we survived.
Ich erinnere mich an den wunderbaren Sonnenuntergang auf Koh Tao, einer Insel nördlich von Koh Samui und Koh Phangan. Ich war ins Meer gelaufen, um die Szenery fotografisch einzufangen und war knietief im Wasser, bis ich so etwas wie einen Stich oder Biss im rechten Unterschenkel spürte. Ich weiß nur noch, dass ich danach schlug und sofort das Wasser verließ. Am Strand sah ich dann ca. 20 kleine Hautläsionen wie Stanzungen bei einer Biopsie im Durchmesser von ca. 1 mm und das Bein blutete ganz ordentlich. Quallen-Alarm! Zum Glück waren wir nicht weit von unserem kleinen Hotel entfernt gewesen und ich bekam dort gleich Essig für die Wunde. Man nimmt diesen eigentlich, um eine festsitzende Qualle zu lösen, aber geschadet hat es auch nicht. Mein Notfall Allergie-Set für solche Fälle (Antihistaminikum, Kortison und einen Adrenalin-Pen) hatte ich dummerweise nicht dabei, sondern im Hotelzimmer. Das hätte böse enden können. Ich war heilfroh, dass ich nicht zum Schwimmen im Meer war (Ich gehe grundsätzlich nie ins Meer nach Sonnenuntergang). In Thailand gibt es immer wieder Todesfälle bei großflächigem Kontakt mit Teufelsquallen. In so einer Situation ist man natürlich erst einmal geschockt.
Ja, wenn man viel reist passieren einem die eigentümlichsten Sachen. Einmal flog uns eine Schlange am Wasserfall entgegen, das war auch nicht so lustig. Auf Platz 1 stand aber bislang, als wir einmal im Meer am Chaweng Beach von einer Strömung erfasst wurden. Schauergeschichten, zum Glück alles überlebt.
Thanks for your visit, danke für Euren Besuch!

En la vertiente norte del Parque Natural de la Sierra y Cañones de Guara se encuentran los valles de Belsué y Nocito, cuajados de pueblos pequeños, algunos deshabitados, en los que el tiempo parece haberse detenido.
Sus edificaciones y el estilo de vida mantienen la más pura tradición de los pueblos del interior de la comarca. Por cabañeras, antaño el único medio de comunicación con el Pirineo y el llano, se puede acceder a diversas pardinas, hoy casi en desuso. Desde el Santuario de San Úrbez, lugar de romería en busca de la ansiada lluvia, un sendero de montaña desciende hasta el núcleo urbano de Nocito y evoca los pasos de los niños que años atrás recorrían ese mismo camino para acudir a la escuela. Nocito es un buen ejemplo de conservación de la arquitectura popular. Los dinteles decorados, blasones familiares, chimeneas y espantabrujas nos trasladan a un pasado de vida aislada, dura y austera.
I had three fairly good images for Macro Mondays theme. I thought I would throw onw out early lest they sit in the queue forever.
Macro Mondays
(Image taken with an Analog film camera).
Black & White Film: Rollei Retro 80s @ISO 40.
Filter: Red, Support: Tripod with timer
Scan with Plustek 8100@3,600dpi, then edit contrast with Nick Silver Efex Pro2 & ACDSee Photo Editor 11.
Notes: Using Rollei Retro 80s for the first time, negative came out dense, next time will try ISO 64 and 9 minutes on Xtol @ 1:1.
(Location: Smyrna Dunes Park, New Smyrna Beach, Florida).
Thanks for your visits, comments, faves, and views.
Taken last Friday using A7RM2 using the CZ jena pancolar. We knew there was a fog forecast and as I rarely get a foggy photo we drove to this lovely wood near Louth. Unfortunately for my dreams of mist we were stuck in traffic behind two seperate tractors because agricultural land around here is all ready to be harvested so we should have expected it. Of course drivers were naturally being careful too so i'm not complaining. We should have set off earlier that's all. There was some mist left which kept drenching me when I was beneath the trees but I enjoyed myself and so did our two dogs. Jonathan said he did but he is such a selfless person he would say that anyway... I didn't take much close up but instead stopped the lens down to mainly f/5.6 or f/8 but don't remember which this was. The info actually showed ISO 1000 because it was fairly dull but the sun was trying to break through…
The use of negative space can have a powerful effect on an image and this is what I have tried to achieve here. I hope that you like it and I wish you all well and thank-you so much for your input and support. Have a great week-end my friends.

Llamas are used at Machu Picchu as a natural way to keep the grass low. Llamas, alpacas, vicuñas and guanacos are native to the Andes Mountains and all are in the family Camelidae, closely related to camels. Llamas are the pack animals of the Andes. Alpacas are smaller with shorter heads and are raised mainly for their fine hair and as meat. The vicuña and guanaco are the wild ancestors of the alpaca and llama respectively. Vicuñas have even finer wool and although protected in Peru, natives are allowed to catch and shear them once a year. A vicuña hair sweater can cost thousands of dollars.
Must confess Halloween is my most dreaded holiday.
The hype is impossible to ignore . . . and the fact this particular event has become as celebrated as Christmas is a bit disturbing to me. None-the-less, it's everywhere . . . and we do enjoy the other parts of this indoor/outdoor used book park!
For Window Wednesday, this works!
First used normal oil painting effect at 70%. Had planned to crop, but really enjoyed the surrounding foliage so decided against it. Finished by enclosing in the film strip 6 frame, which also darkened some of the photo corners. Located in my neighbor K’s rose garden.
She used to stop on that bench with the illusion
That behind her the sunset wasn't just a colored wall of orange-red sun
The tree next door with its autumn leaves
A magical touch of a children's book
The leaves fell silently on the bench
And on the ground creating a colorful carpet of light
There wasn't much traffic along that stretch of road
And that's exactly why he chose her
No passerby would have sat next to her,
no car would disturb his thoughts
but now she's not here and the tree and the bench wonder why
there will be no answers
there will be no other days
harmony is shaken by a shiver of wind
another trembling leaf has fallen
everything is silent now on that stretch of road...
Horizontal Tanks used to store old Terlaner wines at the Cantina Terlan winery in Alto Adige, Italy.
Actually, these are Charmat Tanks, designed to make sparkling wines, but never used for that purpose. Unusual as well in that most tanks are vertical - you get more area on the lees in a horizontal tank and can also be easier to maintain

Golden hour photography uses the soft, warm, diffused light just after sunrise or before sunset, creating a magical, flattering glow with long shadows and rich red/gold tones due to the low sun angle filtering light through more atmosphere.
It's ideal for portraits and landscapes, adding depth and a dreamy quality.
Not quite the same in black and white.
Shooting in black and white during the golden hour
shifts focus from warm colours to light, shadow, texture, and mood, creating dramatic, high-contrast images with long shadows and ethereal light, emphasising form and emotion over hue, and often revealing timeless, classic compositions.

Happy Arachtober 22 & HBBBT have a great day folks ;0) Another one of my crab spider on route to the blue daisies
Used to do a lot of HDR. now very rarely. Think it is the difference between this d300 and my d800.
Found this it had never been processed from archives.
Panorama (2 photos stitched using Hugin). OM D E-MV II, f12mm, 1/125, f10, ISO320. Photos taken in july 2022.
Caïre (ou cayre) signifie en langage local un sommet rocheux. Les Caïres dominent la vallée du sanctuaire de la Madone de Fenestre. Le sanctuaire est établit depuis le moyen-âge (année 887), refuge d'étape pour ceux qui désiraient passer du comté de Nice (dépendant de la Savoie) au Piémont italien par le col de Fenestre (2474 m), sur le chemin duquel la photo a été prise.
Au cours de la seconde guerre mondiale, le col a servi de route d'exil pour les juifs niçois réfugiés à Saint Martin-Vésubie fuyant la persécution nazie (650 personnes à partir du 9 sept. 1943). Malheureusement, nombres d'entre eux (350) furent internés dans un camp de concentration Italien (Borgo San Dalmazzo) puis déportés à Auschwitz.
J.M.G. Le Clézio, prix Nobel de littérature, a écrit un roman au sujet des juifs de Saint-Martin-Vésubie : Etoile Errante, 1992, Gallimard, Paris.
Caïre (or cayre) means in local language a rocky summit. The Caïres dominate the valley where the sanctuary of the Madone de Fenestre is located. This sanctuary has been established since the Middle Ages (year 887) and was the refuge for those who wanted to pass from the county of Nice (depending on the Savoie county) to the Italian Piemont by the pass of Fenestre (2474 m), on which path the photo was taken.
During World War II, the pass served as an exile route for Jewish people from the city of Nice fleeing the Nazi persecution (650 personnes from the 9 of sept. 1943). Unfortunately, many of them were interned in an Italian concentration camp (Borgo San Dalmazzo) and next deported to the Auschwitz camp (Poland) from which they never came back (350 people).
J.M.G. Le Clézio, Nobel Price of literature, wrote a novel about this sad story of Jewish people of Saint-Martin-Vésubie : "Wandering Star", Willimantic: Curbstone Press, 2004.
Using a very shallow DOF (f2.0) and placing focus on the petal tip gives this image a somewhat painterly look.
