Taken a little later, I thought this remarkable place warranted a little closer representation. The Benedictine Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel is one of the most remarkable examples of mediaeval religious and military architecture and was one of Christianity's most important pilgrimage sites from the 8th to the 18th century.The Abbey comprises a superb ensemble of clerical buildings including the abbey church, the cloister, the refectory, the monks' ambulatory and the gardens of what has been known as the ""Merveille"" (Marvel) since the 12th century. In summer, the Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel is best seen in all its splendour after sunset during the special “sons et lumières"" shows. Unfortunately we did not witness one of them but were fortunate in experiencing a beautiful sunrise on the day we were there. If you are going, go early, as the whole village and abbey become packed with tourists, but it is an extraordinary spectical and one not to be missed.
A long exposure of the classic scene at Dunstanburgh taken from the treacherous boulders of Embleton Bay. I was very lucky this particular morning to witness such a sunrise. Its always a gamble and you just don't know what you will get when you set off at silly o'clock. I walked by torchlight across the pitch black golf course to this location and set up to wait. Though that was not easy. These slimy dolerite boulders on a receding tide made me look like bambi on ice. I'm just glad a didn't break my legs or dropped any of my kit before the first rays of light appeared on the horizon.

I witnessed an over four hour battle between five killer whales and a mother and baby gray whale. It was an epic battle and the mother and baby fought valiantly but in the end, the killer whales prevailed.
This particular moment captures the very last moment before the gray whale never returned to the surface. The whale was taken under by the killer whales and drowned.

The world has undergone some significant changes, and the way children grow up is certainly one of them. Open fields have been replaced by tall buildings, long playing hours in the ground replaced by countless hours infront of gaming consoles. The effect of urbanization has still not materialised,maybe it will take a couple of decades more for us to realise things. I wonder what this kids will see in the coming days.

Solo nel vento,
abbraccio l’orizzonte,
nessuno risponde.
Vagando fra i campi nei dintorni della splendida laguna di Marano, un malinconico ricordo affiora come quest'albero solitario.
Buon venerdi

Yesterday we were in Amsterdam. This picture I made at the port (Central Station in Amsterdam). These empty bottles ... two silent witnesses of a romantic night ...so sweet...

and brings us tidings of antiquity.”

Unfortunately ... these trees were all sick and had to be cut as you can see them now: statues ...
Reminders of old threes in a park I very much like to stroll every once in a while.
One of these trees a beautiful little fairy-tale house (see picture below) ... I'm glad they didn't cut it down entirely ...
This tree was killed by the last eruption of the volcano at Sunset Crater around 1000 AD. Ten centuries later, still stands as a silent witness of better times.

The "Praia da Ursa" is a beach that is located near Cabo da Roca in the municipality of Sintra, Portugal. Given the proximity to the cable, it is the westernmost beach in Europe.
It was considered by the Michelin Guide one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
The descent to the beach is accompanied by fantastic views but once you get your feets in the sand the beauty does not decrease with the possibility to admire, from near, the colossal stones of Ursa.
On this day, last February, there were about 12 photographers shooting most of them from Spain... the beauty of this beach exceeds the limits of Portugal.
Hope you all like it as mutch as i do :)

A young couplle sitting quietly appreciating the Sun setting skies.
Feels like it's been a month straight of damp, cloudy weather around here. I love the dreariness that emerges in autumn, but still yearn to capture autumn foliage. As much for the way it makes me feel as for how it looks. But no matter how I approach this subject photographically, it really does require some sunlight to fully appreciate. The other day I was making my daily trek to the local cemetery amidst a backdrop of extreme overcast with low level scud clouds chasing along the horizon and a light drizzle falling. Just as I approached the front gate, the sky began to lighten and the sun emerged. The light was dazzling to my eyes after days of cloudiness. The scene before me simply illuminated in glorious color with incredibly dark and brooding background clouds. Without a moment of hesitation I lifted the camera that hung around my neck and began shooting. I longed for a great foreground subject but none was at hand. I moved a few steps to my right to include the tree branches to help frame the scene and enhance the sense of depth that I was feeling. A sense magnified by the expanse of ground that I was looking across. The moment unfolded in about half a minute and then the sunlight simply vanished. Whatever opening had formed in the clouds closed up and that was it. Felt so fortunate that I was in the right place and time to witness it and was able to capture the moment.
Rising from the flat plain surrounding it, just as the sun is rising behind, the old grain elevator at Dankin is also falling. Sandra took me there specifically to witness the two old elevators: this one is almost a hundred years old, she said, and part of the roof has blown off since her last visit. We walked around them, crossing old railroad tracks, shooting in the flat light of evening. There is nothing left of Dankin besides the elevators. It is described online as "an area". Soon there won't even be these remnants; look at how badly it's leaning. One big storm will smash it down to a pile of broken boards. So our visit was tinged with melancholy.
The next morning, on my way home, I had to pass by them again, and tried to time my arrival for sunrise. Almost missed it. When I saw the light exploding through open doors at the base, I ran across a field of wheat stubble, stopping to set the tripod up fast, compose intuitively, shoot, and run some more. Part of the running was because it was so cold I knew I couldn't stay out long. Half an hour was all. Coming back to my car, fingers numb with pain, I thought I'd never been that cold in my life.
The only lens I used was the 14-24 mm - sharp and versatile. This was the fourth shot in the sequence; I'll upload others over time because I don't know if it's the best of the lot. Sometimes I have to let things settle; I've been looking through a lot of images these past few days. Many thanks to Sandra Herber for making a strong case to visit this location and photograph the two old elevators in winter light.
