# 3 in the interesting shots of this camera since 14th April
Ortigia, Siracusa. Italy
Pete, eat your heart out! ;-)
This is the view from my living/dining area. We've had some odd weather lately and hopefully it's clearing up.
I keep having deja vu moments- today it was driving behind my old car (we sold it to V's coworker last year). T's baby clothes that were passed along to friends are coming back to C via other friends. That kind of thing. It's good to be back.
This Osprey hovering over my head certainly gave me a different point of view, I was just worried about other things!..... please view on black
The formation on the left is Zion's Great White Throne. At 6744', it towers over Zion Canyon, and is perhaps the most easily identifiable landmark in Zion National Park.
Not from this angle, however. This is a view from the Kayenta Trail, which I don't believe I had previously hiked. The far more common view is from a pullout off the tram road a mile or so north of here, where you can get a straight-on view of the Great White Throne's face. Didn't stop there on this trip, however.
A view under the Fore River Bridge from the Weymouth (MA) side to the Twin Rivers Technologies plant across the river in Quincy (the lit building seen in the distance).
Here is the view from my hotel room. The trees are nice but what the heck is that ugly dumpster doing there. Oh well, life is not perfect.
Thanks a lot for following me and view my work and pictures !

I can't believe that last night have been snowing again ....;-((( This morning everything looked white. How I long for sun and spring ...lol
2 years ago in this time of year temperature here was +25-30 C degrees, but surely not this year...;-((
I'd like to use this opportunity to thank everyone who regularly (or occasionally) visits my photo-stream to view and comment on my photographs!
Although I’ve been passionate about panoramic landscape photography for many years already (I started off by sticking 35mm prints together with magic-tape), I feel that ever since I joined Flickr (late last year), the compositions and quality of my photographs has improved tremendously!
You are all responsible for inspiring me to take better pictures… whether your specialty is portraits, macro flower-shots, sport and action scenes, or landscape photography (like me), you are all helping me to continually challenge my own sense of beauty and perfection!!
However, I would like to thank three people who have inspired me more than anyone else, and who are mostly responsible for the improvements in the quality of my images.
Firstly (and most inspirationally) there’s AndreinAfrica! Not only did he sponsor my Flickr Pro account, but his photo-stream is so gobsmackingly beautiful that anyone who isn’t inspired by what they see there… is dead!! Andre was also directly responsible for helping me to kick my HDR habit, and for changing my processing objectives from trying to recreate the scene as it could appear (at some time), to how it did appear (at that time). Thanks Andre, for everything!!
Then, the next most influential person for me at Flickr is a guy called Barkeater. This crazy dude hails from Saranac Lake, New York, and his specialty is cinemascape-format panoramas! You only have to see them to realize that I still have a long way to go before I reach that level of excellence!! Some months ago, he posted a tutorial that described the steps he takes to achieve his consistently awesome results, and when he mentioned layers and masks, semi-transparent brushes, burning and dodging… he inspired me to finally read the Paint Shop Pro manual and to learn about all these cool processing techniques! Thanks Aaron for helping me to take that step!!
Then last but not least, there’s Daniel Cheong from Mauritius. As far as I’m concerned, he consistently produces the best photographs that I have ever seen on Flickr!! Although he has quite a number of HDR processed images on his stream, most of his latest work has been processed using a new technique called DRI (Dynamic Range Increase) – which gives a much more natural result than can be achieved with HDR! Thanks Daniel for all the inspiration that your images have provided me with over the last couple of weeks!!

Please, feel free to comment/criticize. Thanks a lot and have a nice day!
A view of the rooftops of Bergen from what I believe is the University of Bergen Student housing complex where we stayed overnight in a dormitory with bunk beds.
I captured this view of the Thames from St Paul's to the Tate Modern while doing the 'Queens Walk'.
London; June 2005.
[ This was panorama stitched from three images
captured with a NIkon 4500. ]
I see things with this machine – it’s strange and intoxicating. As a child, a young boy I so wanted to be an Artist – a Painter in fact. Art was and remains fascinating to me. But alas, I could not present what my mind saw on canvas/paper. My drawings sucked. Fast forward to the ninth grade. This is where I met Mr. Thomas Lambert (my typing teacher). He is one of three or four instructors who have impacted my life.
Mr. Lambert’s real job was the photography instructor. One afternoon, I escorted Mr. Lambert to his photography classroom. When I walked in to the room I walked into another world (keep in mind I am an African American kid [essentially from Compton CA] who had never seen such a thing as “photography”); I was translated, raptured, in awe! He became more than a “teacher” he became a mentor. He allowed me to use everything at his disposal; I even had keys to the classroom for weekend access! (Not to mention, I didn’t own a camera until one year after we met). This man gave me a World and trusted me with it as a young teenager. He afforded me an opportunity to be an Artist, a Visual Artist. With this gift of responsibility he also gave me a View on life and humanity through a lens.
Life got in the way and I lost this love: photography. Almost 20 years gone, we have reunited (thanks to mySulma). Sulma has helped me re-awaken a gift and a passion – thank you. I have a View, a unique perspective on life, people and the world. This is my View, this is my camera and this is how I see my World.
A view over "Hobbiton" at Matamata on the North Island of New Zealand part of the "set" for Lord of The Rings. (This image taken by Karelle Walker)
View from the top of the Kinderscout peak in the Peak District National Park.
This was taken about half way between Kinder Low and Kinder Down Fall, with Kinder Reservoir in the distance, and behind it the village of Hayfield where we stated from.
As you can see it's still a bit snowy at the top, tho it's actually mostly frozen and turned into ice instead - the going would have been a lot easier wearing crampons - there was a lot of slipping and sliding - talk about suffering for your art - i ache *so* much this morning :-s
