I would certainly never dare say of myself I’m this or that specifically. The only thing I can say is that I’m trying to understand the world through photography. I’m just one more photographer doing a testimony of my times :-)

''...C’è tanta gente infelice che tuttavia non prende l’iniziativa di cambiare la propria situazione perché è condizionata dalla sicurezza, dal conformismo, dal tradizionalismo, tutte cose che sembrano assicurare la pace dello spirito, ma in realtà per l’animo avventuroso di un uomo non esiste nulla di più devastante di un futuro certo. La gioia di vivere deriva dall'incontro con nuove esperienze, e quindi non esiste gioia più grande dell’avere un orizzonte in costante cambiamento, del trovarsi ogni giorno sotto un sole nuovo e diverso… Non dobbiamo che trovare il coraggio di rivoltarci contro lo stile di vita abituale e buttarci in un’esistenza non convenzionale...''

(Dal film ''Into the Wild'')

Where'd your sense of adventure go?

You sit at home, with dinner on a tray,

The world is outside.

Do you remember how it used to be,

At 17, I've never been the same,

Forgot my lies.

She said, we could do anything, we can do anything,

Oh oh oh oh,

Open your eyes; the world is outside your door.........

The red light here comes from the bowling sign as seen on the previous photo. I wanted to take a photo of the red sign from a different angle, but it was not possible because the area was fenced in. Anyway I turned the camera and took this one. It was complete dark but if I moved a little bit, a sensor would register it and a lamp would turn on and the area would be flooded in white light.

I'm pleased with the result. It has a certain mood. And I'm glad it is in focus.

Wicked awesome as they would say in Beantown!!

From the DEEP website:

Another tale focuses on the potholes near the falls, which are some of the finest examples of pothole stone formations in this section of the country. Perfectly cylindrical, they range from inches to several feet in diameter and depth. These potholes were formed by stones moved downstream by the current and trapped in an eddy where the stone was spun around and around, wearing a depression in the rock. When the rock wore itself down, another would catch in the same hole and enlarge it. We know this now, but to the early settlers the potholes were a great mystery that they tried to explain with references to the supernatural. They thought that the Devil has passed by the falls, accidentally getting his tail wet. This made him so mad he burned holes in the stones with his hooves as he bounded away.

At my dentist's practice (Any resemblance to living or dead teeth would be unintentional and purely accidental - By the way: he is a good dentist)

Would like to have got a bit closer to the seagull but would then have lost a lot of the waves!

Would this be called 'Stimulus generalization'? The ISO was a little of a puzzle. I'm thinking the f/mount lens had something to do with it. I sold the f/ mount lenses shortly after taking this image.

I did :-)

And I didn't see one snake!

Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

The Temple Island in Henley-On-Thames is a beautiful little spot tucked away amongst the more exalted bustle of the Henley Regatta. I first caught wind of this place a few years ago when I had been a spectator at the Henley Regatta. Although I wanted to take some shots, there were not a lot of cloud cover to make it worth my while.

As a landscape photographer, everyone would nod their heads in unison that whilst sunny weather is preferred, all sun with little clouds does not really make for some compelling viewing especially at dusk.

So I went back thinking I should be here on other day when the clouds would play ball. Thing is you do not need too much of wind either or your reflection would be shot. So in all, there are a lot of factors that need to come together to get a good photograph of a place. There wasn't much of a wind blowing although there were a lot of boats going backwards and forwards which leaves a big wake every now and then. So you have to time the shot in between such instances.

In all, it was a decent evening's work at the temple island. Midsummer is a good time to be here with the sun setting adjacent to this location.

Would prefer it without the peanut taken at Barons Haugh I did get it in-flight but twigs over it's face sigh...bit overexposed on whites too but thought would just post it. :-))

Thanks for stopping by.

Would have worked better in fresh snow, but that wasn't to be.

I knew I would be lucky finding any Red-Tailed Tropicbird chicks as my arrival on Oahu was at the end of their nesting season. I did some research and found out the general area. After arriving early in the morning and scouting around I ran into a local who pointed this fluffy fella out to me. I saw one very late nester, but it was super high on a cliff face. I'll have to return during prime time in the future for the parent/chick photo opportunity.

without postprocessing, my town would look a lot more boring.

Would you lie with me

The derelict Fuller's Earthworks factory, in Redhill, Surrey. Now torn down for housing I believe, this site was famous for being on every urbexer in the South-East's "have visited" list.

I went out early in the morning, looking for large wildlife to photograph. In June, grizzly bear is the primary target, but I'll gladly settle for moose, elk or wolf.

It was another of those frustrating days, where you see fresh bear scat everywhere but no bears. A solitary elk crossing the road, too far in the distance for photos and a moose that was just teasing me but I knew I would have to be lucky to get a photo.

I had stopped a couple hundred meters from the moose and was down in the ditch, hoping that he would keep moving in my direction. Alas, he trotted off into the trees and although I took some photos, none was worth keeping. I just sat there thinking what a frustrating morning it had been.

Then I looked over and saw this young red squirrel on the ground, enjoying a snack. I am sure that out here, in the middle of nowhere, this squirrel had never seen a human before. I did this nonchalant thing that works with some animals, where you look the other way but leisurely creep towards them. Surprisingly, she didn't run away, even as I laid in the grass just a couple of meters away and slowly swung the camera her way.

We spent a few minutes together, so the morning wasn't wasted after all. I wonder what story the squirrel told when she went back to the trees.

Would like to announce the arrival ......

well America we gave you a start !....Oh by the way

if you are heading this way bring a can of gas with you ......please

oi told you to put the can in the trunk paddy."what's that? "oi was carrying the potato seeds .....
