For Throwback Thursday today, I thought I will share this image from the trip to Iceland last August. This was taken at the famous Mt. Kirkjufell & Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls. Everyone probably familiar with the famous images of the waterfalls themselves with a Kirkjufell mountain in the background, but this view from the bridge above the waterfalls I have not really seen, but it is just as spectacular, imho.

No Stopping...
One morning in February I headed out very early, as overnight a light dusting of fresh snow had fallen. there was a white coating of snow on everything.
in the yellow glow of the street lights the plowed and salted driveway of the nearby school glistened in the dim light. the pale yellow no stopping painted on the asphalt glowed eerily.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

Still haven't managed to find any decent butterfly shots from Easter Monday, but this gorgeous field of rapeseed.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm only 5'2" and rapeseed is a lot taller than that.... so, I had to stand on my tiptoes and reach my camera as high as I could into the air... I was able to twist my screen down so I could see what I was shooting LOL
It was a dull evening, but I think I salvaged this one :)
I'm so glad we're getting closer to the weekend. Even with 2 days off, I'm still shattered LOL
Have a lovely Thursday and thank you for stopping by and for the great comments on yesterday's Spring Scene Pic :)
Third image of four that I will post of this amazing cosmic show...
The clouds were moving in and eventually completely covered the lights. You can see the clouds here and I think they actually add a nice element to the image.
Like thousands of other photographers and sky lovers around the world, I spent a couple hours the other night watching and capturing one of nature's most glorious phenomenon.
From 1am until 3am I shot 81 images. The location I chose to shoot from was the rock shelf of North Point, along the shores of our city, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. You can see some of the rock ledges here in the foreground.
The lights were fairly faint to the natural eye, but long exposures really brought out the colors and light.
And what a show it was! It had just rained two hours before so I expected that the cloud cover would hide the colors and light of the aurora borealis. Fortunately, the clouds dissipated for a couple of hours, allowing for some great images. And even when the clouds rolled back in, it made for some dramatic captures.
This is my first experience of seeing this natural wonder and I was not disappointed. I'm a bird and nature photographer, not a night sky photographer, so I had low expectations as I went out, but hoped I'd get lucky. Thankfully, it all worked out very well and I came away with some nice images and with a renewed awe for nature and God's amazing creation.
Enjoy the show with me!
The shadow of the Big Wheel or Ferris wheel if you are American falls across the beach. It occurred to me that now that all restrictions have been lifted it will be quite difficult to take this shadow with the beach so empty since (obviously) it only occurs in the afternoon. I guess as summer wanes and people leave the beach earlier, then it may be easier.
This was taken at the Valley of the Gods in Utah. Such an amazing place! It was my first visit and so hard to capture it's true beauty it was almost overwhelming.
Here's to all of us Mothers out there I hope your view today is beautiful and your future is full of new adventures!!

Zwavelkopjes
De naam "zwavelkop" heeft betrekking op de kleur en vorm van jonge exemplaren, die lijken op de voorloper van de moderne lucifer. Hypholoma fasciculare en Psilocybe fascicularis zijn synoniemen. Hypholoma betekent "zwam met draden", Psilocybe "naakte hoed". De soortnaam fasciculare betekent "in bundels verenigd" of "bundels vormend". Zwavelkoppen hebben de neiging om in bundels bij elkaar te groeien.
I was trying to get rid of the halo around the border between the blue sky and the white cloud when my computer had a wobble and lost the whole image 😒 so this is a copy that I have downloaded and saved from my Facebook page!
Nothing special about this but I like the contrasting details. The oil 'thingies', the tents and windbreaks, the guy observing the scene and, if you took out the tents there is the hint of the dunes.
Lines, shadows, and vanishing points — Cologne’s Chlodwigplatz subway station becomes an architectural stage in black and white. The wide-angle lens reveals the bold geometry of escalators, staircases, and columns, frozen in a moment of striking contrast and perspective.

Linien, Schatten und Fluchtpunkte – die Kölner U-Bahn-Station Chlodwigplatz wird zur architektonischen Bühne in Schwarz-Weiß. Das Weitwinkelobjektiv betont die starke Geometrie von Rolltreppen, Treppenhaus und Säulen – ein Moment voller Kontrast und Perspektive, eingefroren im Bild.
Buachaille Etive Beag is often overlooked in favour of its bigger brother Buachaille Etive Mor which sits alongside. However it is a magnificent ridge in its own right, offering great views down to Loch Etive and the surrounding peaks of Glencoe.
#Sliderssunday
OK, probably not for the captain who navigated this boat through the Spree and Landwehrkanal on a wonderful birthday "Bridge Tour" eight (!) years ago.
I posted photos from this tour long ago (please check my album, if you like) but only images I had taken with my vintage 50mm Zuiko lens. During the second half of that tour, I'd used my 17mm lens – a lens that (hard to believe) has been sleeping in one of my photo gear drawers ever since because I'd never quite warmed up to it. I can't quite pin down why exactly, maybe I couldn't handle the focal length of 35mm equivalent, or maybe I didn't like the colours, or maybe both... But when I flipped through the "Bridge Tour" folder only yesterday, I realised, to my great surprise, that the m.zuiko 17mm F1.8 images are actually pretty nice, and that the lens renders beautifully crisp and sharp images, with good colours as well. So one thing is sure: This lens hasn't gotten enough love so far, and I will now change this ;)
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!

A very good feeling to be back behind the camera again last night - just a short walk along the canal and river on an almost totally calm evening. Perfect :-)
took this shot yesterday on my very brief visit to Morton Arboretum in DuPage County...this is Meadow Lake, one of several lakes found in this beautiful arboretum...my favorite part of yesterday's visit was walking thru the conifer section of the garden and just smelling sweet pine scent as you walk thru.....this image is a mild HDR process with a 20% color boost......pls.

Into The Dusk.........
The sunset tonight was subdued due to the smoke that was in the atmosphere; caused by the US west coast fires.
The idea that this cloud of smoke has drifted over 3000 miles to affect our sunset boggles the mind, even as i try to grasp the scope of just how big these fires really are.
We have friends in California and Oregon and pray for their safety and the safety of all those affected.
This image is a composite; (Inspired by David M SARGEANT and his wonderful composites.)
This was a bit of an artistic stretch for me as I repositioned the sunset and then split and mirrored the image, finally adding the plane from another shot. hope you guys like it.
