Round abstarct patterns at the Cascade stairway in Yerevan, Armenia constructed at the Soviet era between 1971 and 1980.
My contribution to the group this week is a simple Still Life of everyday objects; a glass, vine leaves, rose hips and a purple sheep.
What makes a great Still Life,
Nobody really knows.
Could be the light
or the wiggling of toes.
Could be the objects,
proud and true.
Could be the shadows,
could be the hue.
But, as ever,
I'll leave it
up to You!
(A poem by me)

A lovely woman takes at dusk a photo of "Maman", a giant bronze spider by Louise Bourgeois (1999) standing in the back of the Guggenheim Museum, alongside the Nervión river in Bilbao.
The cloud on top left is generated by the thousand fog nozzles and high-pressure pump/motor system of "Fog Sculpture # 08025 (F.O.G.)" (1998), by Fujiko Nakaya, which fires several times a day for a few minutes.

Chicken salad on a bed of fresh greens, heirloom tomato, and a cup of peanut soup with tiny bits of peanuts, red peppers and watercress.
It was ten degrees below zero, well after dark, and starting to snow. Standing, barely, on a pile of snow on the verge of a bridge. You bet I used a lot of sliding to create this image...after my fingers thawed out. Mostly dehazing and noise reduction, and MANY repeated little adjustments of light, color, luminance, contrast, sharpness...and on and on. I bought a new pair of photographers gloves right after I made this image.
While I was out, yesterday, being very careful not to do anything really stupid, I walked into a field to meet this lovely bull. And, very friendly he was too. 😉
He was found in a garden wall between the Geraniums, but I don't know if he was put there by the owner of the house, or that he was put there, for someone who'd lost him. I was tempted to bring him home to meet the new snail and mouse!!

Set adrift upon a crumbling raft by his evil step-brother Radicchio, Pinocchio contemplates mortality and is soon to meet Il Monstro.
Three fishing boats sway placidly in the last light of sunset, in the port of Castiglione della Pescaia.
Bobolice Castle
Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska is a wonderful land with castles, gorges and limestone rock formations (monadnocks). For me, there is no more beautiful place on Earth than Jura.
One long exposure. Manual focus with a flashlight (LedLenser P7 450 lm), after that the flashlight was not used to illuminate the castle. The castle is illuminated mainly with small light sources (a pleasant color of about 3200 K) coming from the lighting of the Hotel, which is located about 50 m below the castle hill on the right - I asked the staff to turn off all the lights around the castle. The castle tower illuminated by a single hidden light source - below the tower on the left side of the castle. I set the white balance in the body to 3400K, center-weighted light metering, camera in bulb mode, remote shutter release using a radio trigger.

I mentiond it a couple of times before. My trip to Abu Dhabi. I borrowed a small camera from a friend. Didn't know anything about golden hours etc. One evening we had a long wait in the riding school, so we went to the Mosque. When we, my niece and I, arrived at the spot to photograph the Grand Mosque there were a lot photographers. When the sky turned golden, we knew why. So coindential we were at the right place at the right time. Another day we visited the inside of the Grand Mosque.
Ik heb het al een paar keer eerder vermeld. Mijn reis naar Abu Dhabi. Ik heb een kleine camera geleend van een vriend. Wist niets van golden hours etc. Op een avond moesten we lang wachten in de manege, dus gingen we naar de moskee. Toen wij, mijn nichtje en ik, op de plek aankwamen om de Grote Moskee te fotograferen, waren er veel fotografen. Toen de lucht goudkleurig kleurde, wisten we waarom. Zo toevallig dat we op het juiste moment op de juiste plaats waren. Op een andere dag bezochten we de binnenkant van de Grote Moskee.

"The Temple of Vesta is a Roman temple in Tivoli, Italy, dating to the early 1st century BC. Its ruins sit on the acropolis of the city, overlooking the falls of the Aniene that are now included in the Villa Gregoriana. It is not known for certain to whom the temple was dedicated, whether to Hercules, the protecting god of Tibur, or to Albunea, the Tiburtine Sibyl, or to Tiburnus, the eponymous hero of the city, or to Vesta herself, whose more familiar circular peripteral Temple of Vesta is to be seen in the Roman Forum. A rectangular temple stands nearby, equally difficult to attribute, often called the Temple of the Sibyl." Source: WIkipedia 05 Jan 2022
Snowing hard today along with the usual wind. It inspired me to post a snow flake from an earlier snowfall.
I have seen dendrite snowflakes by other photographers on Flickr that had "thin film effect" colors in the center. This is the first time I've had a photo of a dendrite that had that. My microscope objective has a lot of problems with chromatic aberrations. While they're fairly easy to remove in Lightroom removing them would also have removed the center colors so I have left the aberrations in this photo. Tried to clean them up as much as I could without killing the center colors.
