Several days were spent in the Lower Bug River Valley and each day a visit from grazing cattle. After each such visit, swarms of biting flies were left behind.
Standing tall in divine grace, this is the magnificent bronze statue of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, at Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang, Malaysia. Rising over 30 meters high, she represents compassion, kindness, and love—values deeply cherished in Buddhist culture.
Kek Lok Si, Southeast Asia's largest Buddhist temple, has been a beacon of spirituality and cultural pride since the late 19th century. This awe-inspiring pavilion, completed in 2009, shelters the goddess with its intricately carved pillars and vibrant roof, symbolizing both strength and serenity.
A visit to Kek Lok Si is not only a spiritual journey but also a visual delight—where history, architecture, and faith come together in perfect harmony.
Tip for Visitors: The temple's hilltop location offers a stunning panoramic view of Penang, especially at sunset. Don’t miss this sacred masterpiece!

Just found out that some of images are going into the Visit East Lothian handbook.
Their website can be found here: www.visiteastlothian.org/home.asp
I have some images in their gallery but they have been heavily cropped so wasn't happy with these, but hopefully this will be resolved in the handbook.
This shot is a cropped version of the original as there was a foreground rock but sometimes I like the less cluttered approach...
Below : 2 Desoria tigrina-complex.
Up : 1 Ceratophysella sp. and 2 mites.
I didn't see any attack of the mites...

Kongresshalle (Berlin)
Die Kongresshalle ist ein Berliner Gebäude für Veranstaltungen und Ausstellungen an der John-Foster-Dulles-Allee im Großen Tiergarten und Regierungsviertel. Bis heute bewirkt die Kongresshalle Aufsehen und Anziehung mit ihrem Dach, das sich in einem weiten und hohen Bogen über das Auditorium spannt. Das Dach besteht aus einem Netz von Stahlseilen, das an zwei Stahlbögen aufgehängt ist und hier mit Beton abgedeckt wurde.
In den ersten Jahrzehnten war die Kongresshalle ein prominentes Symbol für die deutsch-amerikanische Allianz und wurde während der Ära des Kalten Krieges von Anfang an bis heute politisch instrumentalisiert.
Nach dem Umbau 1987 änderte sich die kulturpolitische Agenda, der deutsch-amerikanische Schwerpunkt wird seitdem durch ein multikulturelles Programm im Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) erweitert. Das Auswärtige Amt beaufsichtigt das HKW als eine von fünf beauftragten und finanzierten Mittlerorganisationen im Bereich der Auswärtigen Kulturpolitik. Das HKW erhält eine Regelförderung vom Auswärtigen Amt und vom Bundesbeauftragten für Kultur und Medien

This is my entry to the Space Jam contest, in the travel poster category. I was inspired by vintage travel posters, usually with a character on the foreground and a monument / landscape on the background, and mostly pastel colors.
All the elements fit into the same shot, including the “Gaia” brickbuilt text. Here is the original picture, and that’s the photography set-up.
In editing, I removed the supports and changed the background to a sky. I also removed the light reflections on the character’s head, enhanced the colors and added the “visit” and “station” text.
My calendar has a reminder today that we are flying to Nome, Alaska. That visit to the Seward Peninsula was planned many months ago before Covid-19 existed. The trip was canceled of course but I neglected to remove it from my calendar. So instead of spending some quality time with some of my favorite wildlife in person I've been going through some images of them as consolation. Found this shot of a muskox bull next to a stream.
We have visited this waterfall a number of times before. Most shoot this from the left side of the falls, as have I. The trails take you right up to the face of the falls. That's easy enough. However I have always wanted to see what it looked like from the far right side. Trouble is, that side is hard to get to. First, you have to cross the river. I guess that's no biggie but it's not an easy river to cross. This time I brought my waders. I have not had good luck with these in the past, in fact they caused me to fill my camera bag with water in the past. See, the bottom of the feet are hard plastic and they get no traction on the rocks. Anyway, this time they worked well.
So once across the river, you are facing a wall of delicate moss. This is one of the reasons to see this waterfall. Being one of those that always tries to be unbelievably respectful of the landscape, this created the biggest challenge. I needed to get up and almost behind the moss covered hill to see the smaller series of falls that usually hide in the shadows. I started by staying in the many small streams that fall down the hill face because there is no chance for footprints in the moss. Once over there I saw that I was not the first to try to walk up to this side. It seemed my predicessor also tread lightly. Even so, I could see thier footprints, so I followed those to minimize my trek.
It was a slow climb, not because it was hard, but because of the care taken. I had finally reached the top and I have to be honest, I was not all that impressed. Well, I was there, let's see what I can do. I wanted the full scene so I reached for the fisheye. This is an all new fisheye for me. My classic Tokina 10-17 has now left the bag and a new Sigma 8mm has entered the scene. This was my first outing with this glass. It worked well, but it was not weather sealed and being at the top of the moss hill it was clear why the moss was there. I was getting soaked. Wipe, shoot. Wipe, shoot. Wipe shoot. By the time I left the hill I was soaked. So was the gear.
So this is a bracket blend because it was dark up there under the trees at the top of moss mountain. Let me know what you think.
