Wow wow wow!! 2.5 yrs ago the robin at my old hide had 5 young unfortunately rats were seen killing 2 of the remaining 3 ,2 were leucistic 1 not a lot i called Storm the other an absolute beauty of a bird I called Blizzard.
Well after they had grown they were chased off by their parents and luckily 1 of the little whites went 200 yds to a friend lotty plot for a few weeks but disappeared.
Now my new place is the other side of the ground quite a distance away I have been there since last March and its affectionately know as the paddock hide.
Well yesterday I went down with the dogs and the camera and after an hour who should appear but Blizzard cant tell you how happy I am and to top it all as well as it being almost Christmas today is national robin day you I'm extremely happy to see my old friend (how old do robins live esp when their bright white) and I have a male sparrowhawk on the prowl?
What a delight just like to wish my flickr friends a very Merry Christmas and I really hope old blizzard becomes a regular fixture .

I'm taking yet another side trip this week.This is the third one in a month, and hopefully the last for a while. When the leaves start changing around here, you might only have a week or so to shoot them. So, to be as mobile as possible and to save gas, I have ditched the motorhome. I left it at a friends house. I will be sleeping in the back of my truck for a few days and taking a giant loop back through Aspen, Colorado, then around through Ouray, Telluride, Durango, and coming back through the south part of the state.
This was this afternoon on McClure Pass, between Aspen and my aunts house in Payonia. On the left is Mt Sopris. The color was at absolute peak up there today. Just spectacular! It took me about six hours to drive 50 miles. I kept stopping every five minutes to take another photo.
First visit here.
Spoke with a friend last night and a planned weekend reading Hilary Mantel's final installment of Wolf Hall turned into a three hour sleep, a 04:15 start, and a mad dash down the A55.
I was watching the sky the whole way and it was looking angry but perfect. I think I must've mimicked some of that anger when we hit the 40mph average speed roadworks, with zero cones and zero workmen for what seemed like 20 miles. I probably muttered a few choice words, especially when every McDonalds on the way was closed and I'd not had a morning coffee. Hell hath no fury like an Adrian without his morning coffee.
I normally do a fair bit of research before going to a new place but didn't have any time so had no idea what to expect. I knew I wanted to take the cliched shot of the boats tied up but had no idea how long the walk was. 06:10 with the sky on fire and sunrise at 06:11 and we were still a good 5 miles away plus however long the walk took.
Fortunately the sky just got more and more intense and we soon realised we were in for an absolute treat. Sat Nav took us to the parking spot and the walk from the Western edge of the lake down to the boats is only a 200m stroll with a couple gates to negotiate.
The wind was ridiculous, gusting to 60 mph as the Easterly blew down the valley directly in our faces.
I'd had visions of it being still and tranquil with low mist on the lake and a little colour in the sky like the fantastic shots I've seen of here. I tried a few long exposures but the boats were far too blurry and the wind had whipped up waves that were actually breaking. Pretty sure it's unusual for an Easterly to be blowing here and the mountains on either side acted as a funnel so we felt the full force of the venturi effect.
Spent about an hour being battered and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it but we opted not to make the walk around the lake, instead retiring to the safety of the car and making a hugely welcoming brew.
Very testing conditions and frozen to the marrow but what a fantastic location.
This will be my last upload for year 2010 and it has been a great year for me in photography.
I would like to express my gratitude to many of you guys out there for the constant support and guidance that makes me looking at photography in different perspective and more seriously.
This is one of my favourite work in 2010 and hope to achieve Explore FP! Lolz....well, I do not really care though...
Have a lovely holiday and will catch up with work from you guys. Thank you!

Halteverbote gelten immer nur auf der Straßenseite, auf der die Beschilderung angebracht ist. Meistens ist das der rechte Fahrbahnrand. Der Bereich, in dem nicht gehalten oder geparkt werden darf, beginnt am Halteverbotsschild und endet in der Regel an der nächsten Kreuzung oder Einmündung.
Absolutes Halteverbot, Beginn und Ende Verkehrsschild.
Durch die weißen Pfeile werden Anfang und Ende eines Halteverbots gekennzeichnet.
Befinden sich zusätzlich kleine weiße Pfeile auf den Schildern, deutet dies auf eine räumliche Begrenzung des Halteverbotsbereichs hin. Ein Pfeil am oberen Rand des Schildes kennzeichnet den Beginn der Halteverbotszone, am unteren Rand des Verkehrszeichens markiert er das Ende der Halteverbotszone. Im Bereich zwischen diesen beiden Schildern darf nicht geparkt werden. Kurzes Halten kann erlaubt sein, wenn es sich um ein eingeschränktes Halteverbot handelt.
Aber was macht man, wenn man einen Parkplatz brauch?
Ganz einfach; das hintere Schild einen Meter nach links schieben.
hello everyone! i hope you are all wonderful and thank you all so much for all the comments and faves and emails:-) i've been really really busy working these last few days but i'll be back to visit all of you within the next couple of days, i promise:-) love & peace from me to you...
The first photo of my series “The forbidden Forest”. The text on the sign can be translated as follows: "Absolute ban on entry outside the paths! Due to its historical use, the entire site is contaminated with explosive ordnance and ammunition."
Well, that was a good reason for me to take a closer look ;)
About the series & the forbidden Forest
My dear Flickr-Friends,
All of the Photos were shot in a Forest, which the German Wehrmacht and the American Army used as a military training area. Many deadly duds are still hiding in the ground and leaving the official paths is strictly forbidden. For each photo, I want to share some information about the place, my technique or my editing. For me the work was extremely satisfying. Alone in the forest I was able to see its different faces and I also like the final results very much. I hope you can enjoy my Photos as much as I did and if you like, leave a comment and I will try to answer adequately :)

One the absolute coolest places on earth: Jökulsárlón. This is sunset, a few weeks back - what a night!
I've seen Kelvin-Helmholtz effect at the top of temperature inversions before but was nice to get a more photogenic combo with the Ben Ledi cross and the rising moon.
Is what I love from (my horse) Nikita's back! My mind is clear, free of all confusion, suddenly the light becomes sharper, sounds become richer, and I am filled with the deep powerful presence of life....the residue of God. I posted all 3 iPhone 4 pics of my Spring ride.

Saturday was an absolute whirlwind of activities. There were so many events and parties, that Xavier and I decided we woud try to hit them all.
We had to dress up in formal wear because of the Instyle Winter Ball Masquerade Party. Oh, what fun! Beautiful dresses and gorgeous models roamed the party as we danced to the electronica. I had a blast!
Next up was Jades Jazz Island, an invite from Montana Laurasia. Joaquin Gustav, a Spanish flamenco guitarist was playing. So beautiful! There were 71 people there for that event and lag was a bit difficult for the camera.
ColeMarie sent an invite to the World Wide Industry event on Deep Blue Devil sim. Edgy fashions and art wear were featured there. Favorites were the high top converse that went up to the calves and the incredible fire dress. WOW!
My angel Xavier got an invite from his good friend, DJ Xavier Amat who was having a party at his club GIVEmeSPACE. Pubic chat got confusing as both of them are named Xavier. LOL!
Then a dinner break. I snuck off to hear DJ Emi Halcali spin a 30 minute psy set. Oh how I needed that! A small gathering, an intimate setting at Dementia Radio, I had a very chill time listenining to her. TY Emi!
The Dealer was calling... DJ Jen Noel was over at Sphynx Jazz Club. She spins Spanish influences of jazz, flamenco, salsa and tango. Contemporary tunes are mixed in too for a beautiful, romantic set. I saw well-known psy DJ Healer in holiday clothes chilling to The Dealer's music.
Then a stopover at DeRailed for furry DJ Blabbermouth. Xavier loved this dj! Old school Electro, Goth, Psytrance and Synthpop... Xavi was in heaven. :^)
Later, I snuck off to F.I.V.e Unity Event. I caught DJ 8wall Wrigglesworth spinning there with his special brand of music. Always love 8wall's set! Earlier, Xavier and I saw trance DJ Morex Marx and Goa Master Thomtrance Otoole. That was an awesome event! Clubs Vital, Experience, Amsterdam and others were involved with that event.
At the end of the evening, we both were absolutely exhausted. What a fun Saturday night on the Second Life grid. Woot!
