Topping out at the crux of Corvus in the Lake District. Spotted the exceptionally stunning stone circle looking over the valley.

I thought of the old movie, "Attack of The Killer Tomatoes", when I found this tomato in my garden with a deteriorating face and alien look. I love pareidolia anywhere you can find it. HSS!

It was one of the hottest days this year.
It still was in the evening/at night: 32°C / 90°F at 10 pm.
I think that I already long for winter.
And as we are told to expect some shortages of natural gas in December or so (no need to explain why) I already have one of my garages almost full of wood ready to be put in my fireplace and stove when need arises.
This is a sample of what is still waiting to be chopped and stashed in my basement maybe. One of these days, when it gets colder.
For now it is just something to shoot on the World Photography Day
(in lack of more interesting objects).

In this striking long exposure photograph, the beauty of St. Paul's Cathedral is elevated to a new level as the sun rises and casts a warm glow on the structure. The cathedral's reflection in the smooth surface of the water is mirrored perfectly, creating a stunning scene of symmetry and stillness. The long exposure allows the colours and details to come to life, as if you can feel the warmth and hear the stillness of the morning air. This image captures the timeless grandeur of the cathedral in a new and unique way, showcasing the power and majesty of both nature and architecture.

The Chicago Theater is an historic movie palace in the city of Chicago. It's now used mostly as a live music venue, and has been restored to its original splendor. During a tour I noticed the stairs to the upper levels. Pointing my camera straight up, the curves of the bannisters created this graceful effect.

Elegant isolation - An atmospheric misty dawn reveals the beautiful ruins of Kilchurn Castle reflected in the deafeningly silent and still Loch Awe; hauntingly beautiful in elegant isolation from its normally mountainous backdrop by the dawn mist rolling up the loch.

Located in Northwest Cove, Nova Scotia, this home is one of several that make up this picturesque fishing village. It is one of many fishing communities that populate the South shore of NS.
This one light bulb keeps fascinating me.
It has an intricate network of filaments that is incredibly long, as it goes up and down along the central tower, in an eight point star pattern.
And it flickers ever so slightly, humming to the tune of passing seconds, in a warm, decent bright orange glow.
Off course I'm usually not using it outdoors, but for this week's Macro Mondays challenge, I've put it in front of the open window to have a nice expressive sky as a contrasting background.
Looking at it from the top and using a wide aperture makes for a mysterious glowing pattern...
The USAF Thunderbirds fly in formation this past Sunday at Airshow London. It was mostly an overcast day but the sun broke through during the highlight performance of the afternoon, illuminating the squadron of F16's on a backdrop of dark skies.
Thanks for viewing and hope you have a great day!

An autumnal soft-tone macro still life shot in total darkness except 2 candles. Two apples and several mini red and golden apples from my bonsai trees.
Still life sperimentale in totale oscurità salvo due candele, macro "soft" e tante mele, grandi e bonsai, per festeggiare San Martino e, speriamo, il ritorno della primavera per una settimanina :-)

Turning Torso, once the biggest building in Scandinavia.
A nice and almost shocking architecture right next to the sea, in the city of Malmö (Sweden).
First out of two different shots.
There is nothing better than artisan sourdough bread, lightly toasted with fresh tomatoes and mayo, my daily bread.

The Capitol has a long history in art of the United States, beginning in 1856 with Italian/Greek American artist Constantino Brumidi and his murals in the hallways of the first floor of the Senate side of the Capitol. The murals, known as the Brumidi Corridors, reflect great moments and people in United States history. Among the original works are those depicting Benjamin Franklin, John Fitch, Robert Fulton, and events such as the Cession of Louisiana. Also decorating the walls are animals, insects and natural flora indigenous to the United States. Brumidi's design left many spaces open so that future events in United States history could be added. Among those added are the Spirit of St. Louis, the Moon landing, and the Space Shuttle Challenger crew. Brumidi also worked within the Rotunda. He is responsible for the painting of The Apotheosis of Washington beneath the top of the dome, and also the famous Frieze of American History. The Apotheosis of Washington was completed in 11 months and painted by Brumidi while suspended nearly 180 feet (55 m) in the air. It is said to be the first attempt by the United States to deify a founding father. Washington is depicted surrounded by 13 maidens in an inner ring with many Greek and Roman gods and goddesses below him in a second ring. The frieze is located around the inside of the base of the dome and is a chronological, pictorial history of the United States from the landing of Christopher Columbus to the Wright Brothers's flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The frieze was started in 1878 and was not completed until 1953. The frieze was therefore painted by four different artists: Brumidi, Filippo Costaggini, Charles Ayer Whipple, and Allyn Cox. The final scenes depicted in the fresco had not yet occurred when Brumidi began his Frieze of the United States History.
When I was under the two giants, I was moved, they were so big, so tall, so majestic.
I braced myself for an extreme "nadir" frame, looking for the two towers to close in almost to touch each other. the vanishing point towards infinity gave me a perspective that helped the composition and then those marvelous seconds passed in each photograph, in each image, in each photographic shot. I still get emotional when I remember it and I enjoy it every time I see it, I wish that you also have this feeling.
Cheers.

I really love to be in Rome. It is a city that reminds of the great as well as bad things that human being have achieved over past many thousands of years. At the same time the Colosseum has to be my favorite building to do night photography.
Last summer there was serious water crisis in Rome. They had to close down several fountains including the famous one at the St Peter's Square. The water pressure of Trevi Fountain was also reduced. You can see those yelled grass there. Those used to be green. But lack of rain started making them yellow and probably die eventually!
I have taken this shot so many times before. But this time I was there for my colleague who was very interested in this location. So I also took the opportunity to have one with the 5DSR; which has way superior image quality than my previous 5D3. This image has so much detail. I can clearly read even those smaller words.
Ok, don't ask me about that moon. That is a bit of fantasy that goes with that shot. :)
Another great story about this image was my discovery to TSE architecture photography. In my 2010 trip to Rome; I was very disappointed with my architecture images. All the buildings were looking like they were about to fall down. So I started reading a bit as I didn't know about the TSE lenses till then. After a bit of research I figured out the concept of TSE and understood that either I have to take a much wider image and lens correct the falling building or I need to get one of those very expensive TSEs.
Initially I was a bit hesitant due to the price tag. Again after some reading; I finally went for them. It ended up being the best decision I made about a photographic equipment choice. After that there was no turning back. Nowadays I almost entirely capture my architecture images with those TSEs.
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice weekend whatever is still remaining.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
