I've been photographing Groningen's landmarks and iconic sights for the past few years. However, there was one building I had never captured before. It was absent from the cityscape during my previous visits and later underwent construction. Finally, it is now completed and ready to be photographed. Photographing this particular building proved challenging due to its size, height, and location. It is squeezed into a small square next to the main square, making it tricky to get the perfect shot. However, after careful consideration, I managed to capture a detailed image using a wide-angle lens, showcasing the distinctive modern architecture with its striking tilted façade nestled in Groningen's historical city center. For those curious, this architectural gem is a multifunctional building that houses a public library, exhibition spaces, a cinema, and hosts various cultural events. The Forum offers engaging exhibitions on diverse topics, features a cinema called Forum Images, and boasts a rooftop terrace where visitors can relax and enjoy scenic views – Groningen, the Netherlands

This mountain previously known as the 'Southern Sky Column' in China, has now been named the 'Avatar Hallelujah Mountain'. The peak became the inspiration for magical ‘floating peaks’ in James Cameron’s film after a Hollywood photographer spent time shooting there in 2008. This column is about 150 m high. This was taken from the top of a horse-shoe cliff, through thin mist.
袁家界是張家界的一個景區。“南天一柱”是張家界“三千奇峰”中的一座，位於袁家界景區南端，海拔高度1074米，垂直高度約150米，頂部植物鬱鬱蔥蔥，峰體造型奇特，垂直節理切割明顯，彷若刀劈斧削般巍巍屹立，有頂天立地之勢，故又名“乾坤柱”。
2008年12月份，好萊塢攝影師漢森在張家界進行了為期四天的外景拍攝，大量風景圖片後來成為美國科幻大片《阿凡達》中“潘多拉星球”各種元素的原型，其中“南天一柱”圖片就成為“哈利路亞山”即懸浮山的原型。
2010年1月25日，張家界“南天一柱”正式被更名為(Avatar-Hallelujah Mountain)《阿凡達》"哈利路亞山", 當天數百名土著居民及海內外遊客見證了更名儀式。

What continues to amaze me is the versatility of Ohio's State Nature Preserves. Christmas Rocks in Lancaster, OH is one I've visited several times before, but never during Winter. Without the foliage, new views made themselves available. I documented the trip and you can follow along here:

Marché de Noël (Marché de Noël, quartier d'affaires de "La Défense", décembre 2024)
A Christmas market takes place at La Défense in December. It's an opportunity to buy handicrafts from different regions, as well as food products (honey, chocolates, etc.) in anticipation of Christmas. Many stalls offer street food for visitors. This photo was taken at one of these stalls, through the vertical plastic tarpaulin that protects it from the side. Hence the resulting blur.

The East Temple is a prominent 7,709 ft summit made of Navajo Sandstone in Zion National Park in Washington County of Utah, United States. The nearest higher peak is The West Temple, 3.85 miles (6.20 km) to the west-southwest.
This was taken on board a tourist coach while travelling along the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway.
Zion National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah near the town of Springdale. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles long and up to 2,640 ft deep. The canyon walls are reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone eroded by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest point in the park is 3,666 ft at Coalpits Wash and the highest peak is 8,726 ft at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park has a unique geography and a variety of life zones that allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals, and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches. (Wikipedia)
Before the COVID lockdown I joined a Zen meditation class at Hakone Gardens, a beautiful Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. Recently we went to visit this inviting garden again. I held my camera with a 210° angle fisheye lens inside a small tree, it looks almost like inside a tent that has a gnarly support structure.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

The coastline of Asturias is full of cliffs and rock formations like lonely souls. On the eastern coast the rainwater, chemically molding the limestone, and the seawater, brutally hitting it, draw dreamlike sculptures.

Last week I made an early morning trip to Rock House, in the Hocking Hills. This was the first time I'd been there during the cold season, and I'm so glad I made the trip. Conditions were about 30 degrees colder than I would have liked, but the light snow covering frozen to the trees was a highlight to the morning.
I made a video about the trip you can watch here:

Ocean Beach on Tasmania's West Coast on a very nice mid-winter day.
The beach is exposed to the full force of the Roaring Forties - westerly gales all the way from South America.
Archive shot from 2014 with the famous "Splatter Cam" D600 I had for a while.

The colourful phenomenon was created by early gold-mining activities: sluicing work in the 1880s revealed the 'pink' hills near the historic town of Heathcote.
The Pink Cliffs Reserve is about 140km from Melbourne CBD. It was originally man made but is now considered one of Victoria's natural wonders. The multi-coloured soft granite exposed as a moonscape surface in the central portion of the reserve is the best known feature hence its name, Pink Cliffs.
This geological reserve offers hills of fine clay with an almost talcum-powder texture. The pinkness is more intense when the area is moist, i.e, shortly after a rain or shower.
This view was taken near the entrance.
Took this long exposure with an infrared filter. Glad the clouds co-operated. Fruit trees (apples and pears) - don't pick sign in place.
Indian summer , this photo was taken in a field near a small village in Germany. The photo was taken with an Olympus OMD EM 10 and a Olympus Wide Angle Lens.
I went back to Tinderbox the night after my recent post. Still some cloud around but managed to snare this five frame stitch of the Milky Way rising over Dennes Point, Bruny Island, southern Tasmania.
Nikon Z6, Nikon Nikkor Z 20mm f/1.8, 20 secs at f/2, ISO 2000.
Now thinking about picking up another 14mm to save stitching hassles. Have had the Samyang 14/2.8 before but thinking about Nikkor 14/2.8 if anyone has any astro experience with that lens - let me know? :-)
This photo was taken in the Technik Museum Speyer in Germany . Olympus OMD EM 10 was used with an Olympus M. 9-18 wide-angle lens .
The ruined Brighton Pier separated from the beach after a fire back in 2003, all that is left of the walkway are a series of support posts.

I walked through my favorite forest once again today. I felt even smaller than usual and it was perfectly silent… magical.

This was taken opposite the entrance to the Cradle Mountain Hotel, Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. This mural is part of the external wall of the Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery. It is painted by Sobrane, an artist based in Broome, WA, Australia. It was a snowy morning and visibility was low, despite it was almost summer.
Sobrane is an internationally recognised Australian artist with exhibitions held in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Italy, Broome and Tasmania. Sobrane completed her second exhibition in Hong Kong with Asia Contemporary Art Show as part of Hong Kong’s Art Month and held her first solo exhibition in Rome at the MatER Gallery which saw her gain press coverage as far reaching as the Iraq News. In December 2018 to February 2019 Sobrane held a 3-month exhibition in Sydney with studio overlooking Whalebeach.
Apart from works on canvas, Sobrane also specialises in painting large-scale murals, having completed a Silo in Tungamah Victoria and a 24-metre wall at the Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery in Tasmania.
Here is another shot from our wine tour last summer. In this shot, I am looking from west to east in the the southern part of the valley not far from Penticton. I believe that the water in the background is called Skaha Lake. The conditions were bright and hot, and the grapes were almost ready for picking. The photo was taken in August 2016, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
McCrae Lighthouse Playground is located on Point Nepean Road, McCrae on the foreshore.
The playground is adjacent to the iconic Mc Crae lighthouse, and within easy access of the beach.
The main focal point of the playground is a circular (10 sided) climbing structure which has a mini lighthouse, climbing options include a mini rock wall, scramble net chain, and regular stairs with hand rails
A three metre slide comes off the structure, which also includes other minor features for young children such as a wave mirror, crawl hole, play binoculars, clock panel, abacus and musical chimes. (Mornington Penisula Shire website)
This was taken on a hot summer's afternoon, children preferred to play indoors, hence the playground was relatively quiet and peaceful. It was rather appealing to lighthouse lovers like me.
Hanging Rock (also known as Mount Diogenes, Dryden's Rock, and to some of its traditional owners as Ngannelong) is a distinctive geological formation in central Victoria, Australia. A former volcano, it lies 718m above sea level (105m above plain level) on the plain between the two small townships of Newham and Hesket, approximately 70 km north-west of Melbourne and a few kilometres north of Mount Macedon.
Hanging Rock is a mamelon, created 6.25 million years ago by stiff magma pouring from a vent and congealing in place. Often thought to be a volcanic plug, it is not. Two other mamelons exist nearby, created in the same period: Camels Hump, to the south on Mount Macedon and, to the east, Crozier's Rocks. All three mamelons are composed of soda trachyte. As Hanging Rock's magma cooled and contracted it split into rough columns. These weathered over time into the many pinnacles that can be seen today.
This was taken on a fine winter afternoon. Spotted this moss smitten boulder while walking along the base of Hanging Rock.

The two rock formations out to sea are known as the Brisons.
This is one of my favorite places in Cornwall :)
