the sun shines after a snowfall in Uppsala/ En suggestiv vinteratmosfär, solen lyser efter ett snöfall i Uppsala.../Una atmósfera invernal sugestiva, el sol asoma tras una nevada en Uppsala...(144-2)
It's the first sunset of 2023! Photo was taken at Paine's Creek on Cape Cod. The marsh in this location works as a great setting at the golden hour. I don't often have people in the photo :) In this case, I think they added to the overall ambience of "Hope" (the shimmer).
May this year be a better one with peace, happiness and good fortunes.
Works best in large.
Happy New year 2023!

Ambience and ambiance are different spellings of the same word, referring to the special atmosphere or mood of a particular environment. While some dictionaries list ambiance as the standard spelling, ambience is far more common in all main 21st-century varieties of English. It’s worth noting, though, that ambiance tends to take precedence in contexts relating to art and design, but this is by no means a rule, and exceptions abound.

A restaurant I found in Assmannshausen (lol) that was very expensive but had a COOL décor!!
This is going to be a long commentary so pull up a chair and get comfortable. You good, Ok here goes.
This is a shot of the False Kiva in Canyonlands National Park. Taken on day 3 of the southwest tour. It is a panorama of 10 images shot vertically, overlapping 50% between shots.
The Kiva is a cave formation in the side of a cliff with an arduous path leading up to it and at about a mile (.08) makes it a fairly easy hike to get there. Or so I thought. Hear me out!!
While making the preparations for this shot and my trip, I saw a cool photo from my favorite Nightscape photographer Wayne Pinkston, and decided to make a comment about going on this trip. He replied back and said that he would be there at the same time for a couple of days. So, we arranged to meet at the Canyonlands Visitor Center. We originally planned to head up to the Kiva much earlier but when we met I found we had so much in common that we sat there chatting for 2 hrs about a variety of photography topics, scouting, shooting, processing, equipment, and Flickr. What a treat it was to meet up with him. He is the nicest guy and a fantastic photographer. By the time we headed out to the Kiva it was already dark, but we were both "sure" that we could find it. So we trekked off down the trail and quickly found it difficult to follow because some of it goes over solid rock and to make matters worse, the rangers frequently remove the cairns that mark the trail, making it even more difficult to follow. After some time though we relocated the trail and spent the better part of the night shooting at the Kiva. I had pre-visualized this shot well before arriving here and purchased an Indian headdress from Amazon to use as a shadowcaster, which is what has created the shadows across the roof of the cave and Wayne set up some lighting back down the trail some ways to help illuminate the far inside canyon. We wrapped up at around 1:30am and headed out to shoot Mesa Arch at sunrise, except!! we couldn't find the trail out. we scoured the area for signs of a trail with no success, and after shining my flashlight over the edge of the cliffside and seeing nothing but pitch black several times, we decided to campout for a while and wait for some early morning light to help us out. Wayne was running a GPS app on his phone and it helped somewhat but not enough to accurately direct us back to the trail, but when some pre-dawn light showed up we easily found the trail and were on our way.
I love Flickr, where else can you connect with other like minded people and get lost together in the desert. :)
My family and friends thought I was nuts. "Are you crazy" your going out to the desert 900 miles away in the middle of nowhere to meet a stranger from the internet you've never met in person in the middle of the night? "Good luck with that, they said"
Later, After the trip Wayne sent me a screenshot of the GPS map and it looked like we had spent the 2 hrs at the visitor center pounding down inebriating cocktails. LOL :) All told we managed to add 4 miles to the trip just trying to find the trail but man what fun it was and quite exhilarating. What an adventure we had and one I will never forget, not in a bad way, but in a good way. Yea we missed the sunrise at Mesa Arch and I'm not sure about Wayne, but it was my best day shooting photography so far. I kept thinking as we walked around searching for the trail "Man here I am walking around in the middle of the night in the middle of the desert with Wayne Pinkston....Wayne Freaking Pinkston, what "Luck" (Good). :)
For more of the story see Wayne's comments below in the comments section.
Wayne my friend, I thoroughly enjoyed every step and would do it again in a heartbeat!!! Thank you so much. :)
We had originally planned to do some back-packing to get there and managed to do some back-tracking to get out. :)

***Sidenote... I was so into the whole feel of this location I downloaded a couple of Navajo songs to play on my JBL Flip while there. I made sure that the songs had no indian words or chants, I wouldn't want to raise any ancient spirits while there. :) It really gave the whole scene a nice ambience at the time of shooting, the acoustics here are amazing.
****And "thank you" for taking the time to read my description and look at my photos. As always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have an awesome weekend everyone :)
Fotografie ist Malerei mit Licht. Im Studio kann man Beleuchtungen unschwer einstellen. Ist man aber in Freien, kann die Gunst des Augenblicks über die Bildwirkung entscheiden.
Painting with light. This is photography. In the studio you can adjust a lot as you like. In nature, you need a little luck.

Today I met a contigent of US Airforce team of 10persons who was stationed here
They had come all the way from Washington DC
All Things Are Quite Silent is one of my favourite English folk songs and it really sums up the peaceful ambience at Fall Trace. A lovely location to show you another !gO! item that I’ve been remiss about blogging, this delightfully rustic long skirt and top (I’ll hopefully show you the skirt in a later blog). Add the russet tones of the new Tableau Vivant hair from Kustom9 and you have a perfect autumnal idyll. Yes, I know it’s winter, but this is Second Life and it can be any season you like here!
We were warned that half way around the lake walk, the bridge was out, it had been swept away a few days ago. If the river was still too high we would have to return the way we came. Our guide assessed that we could cross safely. We all crossed safely, although one person unfortunately stood in the water, while the rest of us used the rocks as stepping stones.
You can see the broken bridge washed into the lake.

Gabrielson Wildlife Area - Iowa
Before deer season gets into full swing, I wanted to hike a favorite area just for the fun of it! Not much wildlife today, other than some turkeys.
What catches my attention more than anything? This simple leaf still attached.

В сером пространстве под лишённым солнца небом я был один. Я так увлекся изучением этого болота и поиском интересных форм, что стало не понять, где я оказался и куда идти дальше. Я заблудился, окутанный серым туманом, который дрожал на слабом ветру как тысячи приведений. Высмотреть что-либо в таком тумане было невозможно, тем более яркая одежда была только на одном участнике этой авантюры. Мягкий мох, что отделял меня от толщи ледяной воды, восстанавливал форму после моих шагов со скоростью, с которой таяли мои надежды вернуться по своим следам. С низких серых небес безостановочно падали мелкие капли воды. Больше всего свежей воде радовался сфагнум. Мне же он доставлял лишь неудобства. Я потер руки в мокрых перчатках, пальцы начинали коченеть. На болоте начинал властвовать холод или я просто впадал в шоковое состояние. Впрочем, ничего удивительного в этом не было. Ко всем неприятностям добавлялось еще одно неудобство – у меня закончился кофе и согреваться придется только движением. Скудный свет, струящийся с неба, нисколько не помогал. Нужно было поскорее покончить с тем делом, ради которого я забрел так далеко вглубь болот. Мерзкий голос у меня в голове интересовался – разве оно того стоило? Ответа у меня не было, но где-то в глубине души я понимал, что ситуация, в которую я попал, очень глупая. Торфяное озеро с забавным островком осталось позади. Я шел по густому мху и старался, чтобы бледное пятно света оставалось по правую руку. Иногда я останавливался и пытался высмотреть человеческие фигуры в тумане или просто прислушивался. Вопреки моим ожиданиям, никто не спешил появляться в поле зрения, и я продолжал свой путь в сторону высокой сосны, выбранной в качестве ориентира. В какой-то момент я уловил движение краем глаза и помчался в ту сторону. От переизбытка эмоций казалось, что я перепрыгиваю сосны. На этот раз все обошлось, но сделаю ли я правильные выводы…
In a gray space under a sunless sky, I was alone. I was so carried away by studying this swamp and searching for interesting forms that I began to not understand where I ended up and where to go next. I was lost, shrouded in a gray fog that shook in the weak wind like a thousand ghosts. It was impossible to see anything in such fog, especially since only one participant of this adventure was wearing bright clothes. The soft moss that separated me from the thickness of the icy water regained its shape after my steps with the speed with which my hopes of retracing my steps were fading. Small drops of water fell continuously from the low gray skies. The sphagnum moss enjoyed the fresh rain water the most. That rain only caused me inconvenience. I rubbed my hands in wet gloves, my fingers were starting to get numb. The cold began to dominate the swamp, or I simply fell into a state of shock. However, there was nothing surprising in this. To add to all the troubles, there was one more inconvenience - I had run out of coffee and would only have to warm up by moving. The meager light streaming from the sky didn't help at all. It was necessary to quickly finish the matter for which I had wandered so far into the swamps. A nasty voice in my head wondered – was it worth it? I didn’t have an answer, but somewhere deep down I understood that the situation I found myself in was very stupid. The peat lake with a funny island was left behind. I walked through the thick moss and tried to keep the pale spot of light on my right hand. Sometimes I stopped and tried to look out for human figures in the fog or just listened. Contrary to my expectations, no one was in a hurry to appear in sight, and I continued my way towards the tall pine tree chosen as a landmark. At some point, I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and rushed in that direction. From an overabundance of emotions it seemed that I was jumping over pine trees. This time everything ended well, but would I draw the right conclusions...
