It was a grey and sad day, even though I decided to head to the cost to capture the waves.

I was lucky and was able to capture this scene of this boat just behind the surf zone.

This photograph was taken on Jubilee Bridge looking towards Mandarin Oriental Hotel (from left of photograph), Ritz Carlton Hotel, Esplanade Outdoor Stage, Singapore Flyer, The Float, ArtScience Museum and Marina Bay Sands. The lattice structures have been erected on the Float to serve as the performance stage for National Day Parade on 9th August. Parts of Ritz Carlton were illuminated by the projected light from The Float.

Captivating sunbeams appeared behind the two hotels and Singapore Flyer. These sunbeams provided interesting contrasts and the mirror-like reflections in the Bay added further interests to the cityscape.

This was its favorite perch and would eventually return to it, after several tries I finally got it landing with a fish. Since it was distant it has a fair crop to the image.

Thanks D for your help it is working again I can now save in jpeg..

This was my first time to set my alarm clock to 4:50 AM on a sunday morning. I really wanted to take a picutre of this beautiful place on sunrise. As it turned out, I wasn't the only one with this intention. About ten other photographers were already there :-)

Here I met Eric Jacob (ej foto) who is also an Olympus photographer! Thank you for the nice conversation and the exchange of knowledge. Hope to hear more from you soon.

I made a lot of photos this morning. This one is made of a set of HDR photos, stitched together to a panorama. Hope you like it!

I think these are painted turtles; if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Was a beautiful day.. I love this time of year..

Western Australia

This was a little spot that we camped at for a couple of nights...we were lucky, we had all to ourselves. Sadly the small amount of water in the gorge was not safe to swim in, due to some microbes that could cause brain damage. We risked using it to wash our feet!

Could not resist to preserve this arrangement. It was cold outside and these chairs are metal, so no point in hanging around for anyone to sit down. One day I´ll start shooting pictures with people in them. What else is there that is interesting really?

..it was Saturday, about 7am, i'd been on the streets since 3am ...and I found myself on Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, the day was just breaking and two young guys passed by ... on their way home from a Friday night out .. they stopped for a chat, they were friendly, knowledgable around the camera and genuinely interested in what I was doing.

Hope you like the pic guys ...

*Mashallah*

I was rewarded for getting out to Forget-Me-Not pond Friday night. not another soul around 1:33 am Saturday May 28th

Rila Monastery - the monastery was founded in the 14th century on the site of the hermitage Ivan Rila existing since the 10th century in the valley of Rila mountain.

Modern form of the monastery dates from the 19th century, when through the victims of Bulgarian society and with the agreement of the Turkish authorities built a huge monastery complex. The walls of a thickness of 2 m and a height of 24 m giving it the appearance of a fortified stronghold. The inner courtyard is surrounded by three-storey buildings with arches painted in black and white and wooden galleries.

The main church of the Holy Mother of God is a three-nave basilica based on a cruciform plan with a dome at the intersection of the aisles. The pride of the temple are frescoes and great iconostasis.

In 1983 the monastery was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Rylski Monastyr – monastyr został założony w XIV na miejscu pustelni Iwana z Riły istniejącej od X wieku w kotlinie górskiego masywu Riła.

Współczesna postać monastyru pochodzi z XIX w., kiedy to dzięki ofiarom społeczeństwa bułgarskiego i przy zgodzie władz tureckich wybudowano ogromny kompleks klasztorny. Mury grubości 2 m i wysokości 24 m nadają mu wygląd warownej twierdzy. Wewnętrzny dziedziniec otaczają trójkondygnacyjne budynki z łukami pomalowanymi na czarno i biało oraz drewnianymi krużgankami.

Główna cerkiew pod wezwaniem Świętej Bogurodzicy to trójnawowa bazylika oparta na planie krzyża z kopułą na skrzyżowaniu naw. Ozdobą świątyni są freski i olbrzymi ikonostas.

W 1983 monastyr został wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

AT THE MORNING ON THE BEACH WAS MY FREEDOM DAY

I was at my daughter's house last night and these raccoons came to the door, probably looking for food and warmth. Suddenly they both stood up at the same time, as though pleading. I took this shot handheld through the window - it was below freezing outside.

My photo outing got cancelled today and has been postponed to Friday, but with the below freezing temperatures and black ice on the roads, I have a feeling it won't be happening.

Foto wurde durch meine Frau aufgenommen, mit ihrer Ausrüstung -Canon 100-400 L IS II USM, Canon EOS80D - Im Eberswalder Zoo ist es immer eine Herausforderug gute Fotos zu machen, Viele hohe Bäume erschweren das Fotografieren, aber bei hohen Temeraturen ist es dort auszuhalten

This beautiful CANADIAN flew by me within a meter...the sound, the energy, the speed...the rush I felt was staggering...it was only for a few seconds...wow...and then it was gone..."STUNNING"...

Yeah, and a Happy Fucking Valentine's Day to you, too.

I want you to hold out the palm of your hand

Why don't we leave it at that?

Die kleinen Nilgänschen machen einen Ausflug an den nahen See.

I was driving back from Fingeringhoe reserve with no success, when I spotted a few Linnets on a wire fence! It's amazing how close you can get when your sitting in the car! Luckily the background was ok too! First one I've photographed for a few years!

I was looking over my photos to see which one I could post, and looking at this one just kind of relaxed me while I was looking at it. So, I dusted it off and cleaned it up and posted it.

Have a great Sunday

I was in a local garden last week, when suddenly they turned the sprinklers on everywhere. Needless to say, I did get wet :) But I took advantage of it and tried to capture the spraying water.

Zoom in and see if you can feel it :)

This photo was taken 23 minutes later at the same observation lounge of Tochou (都庁) as the previous photo.

The road marked by taller buildings toward Fujisan is National Route 20, which is also called Koushuu Kaidou (甲州街道) as the trunk road leads to Yamanashi prefecture (山梨県), and Koushuu is its old name.

Shinjuku was originally developed as a post town on Koushuu Kaidou in the Edo era. Shinjuku (新宿) means “new post town.”
