I discovered these thistles in a field of wheat while jogging. I returned two days later with my camera just to discover that the farmer was about to harvest this field. I asked if I could take some pictures first which he was totally okay with.
One day later this would not have been possible.
Enamored by the photography of the mid-nineteenth century with it's attitude toward such elements as scale, linear overlapping, and presence of space, I attempted such in this composition.
I am simply astonished at what those photographers created with their early photography cameras, lenses, and developing techniques.
Sure I took a dozen shots with the digital camera - that's the luxury of what they do... quite an abomination of artistic talent.
Only one shot worked - where the central characters are composed as a stretched diamond and suspended in a jumble of converging lines.
How the masters of the nineteenth century managed to compose their masterpieces with one shot using a view camera is beyond my comprehension.
Der Münchener U-Bahnhof Harthof: Die säulenlose Bahnsteighalle strahlt eine gewisse Nüchternheit aus, ist sie doch in ihrer Gestaltung vergleichsweise "unaufregend". Bei näherer Betrachtung fallen jedoch die durchdacht integrierte Beleuchtung und der behutsame Umgang mit Formen, Farben und Materialien auf. Die gefaltete Dachkonstruktion dient gleichermaßen als Lichtreflektor wie auch als gliederndes Element des Bahnsteigs, hat man doch das Gefühl, in einem Bauwerk mit herkömmlichen Dach zu sein. Die mit hellrosa und granatroten Glasfliesen verzierten Wände nehmen Bezug auf das kräftige rot des Linienbandes. Geplant wurde der Bahnhof vom Architektur-büro Obermeyer in Zusammenarbeit mit dem städtischen U-Bahn-Referat. Eröffnung:

Munich’s Harthof Underground Station: The columnless platform hall exudes a certain sobriety, since its design is comparatively “inexciting. ” On closer inspection, however, the well-thought-out integrated lighting and the careful handling of shapes, colours and materials stand out. The folded roof construction serves both as a light reflector and as a structural element of the platform, since you have the feeling of being in a building with a conventional roof. The walls decorated with light pink and garnet red glass tiles refer to the strong red of the line ribbon. The station was planned by the Obermeyer architectural office in collaboration with the city’s subway department. Opening: 20 November 1993. (Source: www. u-bahn-muenchen. de)

We were out Kayaking with another couple in our tandem boats when others needed to pass. We had purposefully come to a tight inlet where seals could be seen sunbathing however, it was feeding time and none were present. Although minutes prior to this shot, one came to within 20 feet or our Kayak to have a peek at us, then bolted with a splash. All the basic colors were present, from red to green, from yellow to blue, and more. The entire spectrum delighted our eyes with a treasure trove of visual sensations.
"If you want to express yourself you must present something tangible. But after a while this has only the function of a historic document. Objects aren't very important any more. I want to get to the origin of matter, to the thought behind it." Joseph Beuys, 1969. Ignore the Exif data, this shot was done with the Helios 44M-7 wide-open.

I must admit this hasn’t been the first time to have experienced this unique bonding, when the bird accepted my presence and wouldn’t fly away. Call it “interspecies communication" if you wish, or telepathy - I don’t know (smile).
After taking a few good shots with my 400mm f5.6, I have decided to take the chance and switch lenses, for a shallower DOF. The cute owl didn't move a bit. I must admit having experienced a feeling of acceptance and trust. I gave the owl its space by not getting too close.
Shot taken at f2.8 with Canon 5dIII coupled with canon 70-200 f/2.8 II.
The aesthetics of black rocks and black sand in contrast with the sea is so gorgeous! It takes me back to the north coast of my island. The sea is too wild and seaspray so dense always, that wouldn't be really possible to live that close (not allowed by law) and the windows wouldn't look that nice.
But in SL we can dream! so anytime I can I rezz my houses by or in the sea. Scarlet Creative's Barcelona Beach cabin, is minimal, beautiful and stylish, so much glass, I thought it could pair very nicely with Fancy Decor's Larsen set for Fameshed this month. Keeping it simple, clean, modern, using monochromes to connect with the blacks and greys of the rocks and letting the sea and the dracaenas to finish the job ❤

Black Rock beach has a small encampment there at the moment. Not sure if they are the rough sleepers taken to the beach or fishermen staying overnight.
Un lugar al que no fui muy convencido por lo poco que había visto al planificar el viaje, pero que superó con creces mis expectativas. Al ser una panorámica de varias fotos la cascada pierde la sensación de lo inmensa que era, pero a cambio se puede mostrar mejor el entorno en el que se encuentra. Un espectáculo visual acrecentado por el mood otoñal que nos encontramos. Sin duda, momento para recordar y suerte de haberlo podido inmortalizar.

An ominous view over Clear Lake yesterday morning as the weather forecast was predicting freezing rain, sleet mixed with snow for our area starting late last night!
Well guess what? The weather man must know what he is doing because that is just what we are experiencing here this morning!
Sigh . . . not good!
