this is a composite image that consists of manual blending of 3 images,2 long exposures for the acropolis monument and the foreground (trees etc). Then i replaced the sky with a milkyway shot which is another image and added a few tweeks to match it in terms of color and luminance! I did not have a tripod and it was windy as i was in higher spot so it was challenging in terms of keeping the camera really steady!note: the galaxy photo was not taken by me!

We stayed in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest a couple of hours after sunset to do a bit of light painting in the Methuselah Grove.
For this image we used a low ISO technique taught at the Pearsonville Junkyard workshop by Troy Paiva and Joe Reifer - f8, ISO 200, 4 minute exposure under a full moon. This allows for nice slow and even light painting, plenty of ambient light, and can be done with almost any DSLR.

Stonehenge at Salisbury, England. I knew about this place since I was a little boy after reding books about the Chariots of Gods and Ancient Gods that was authored by, i think, Eric Von Deniken. Stonehenge is believed to have some connection with the Incas of Peru Pyramids, Pyramids of Giza and even the Burobudor of Indonesia. Thanks for the likes my friends.
It is mentioned (A-pa-ta-wa) in Linear B tablets from the 14th-13th centuries BC. With its highly fortunate geographical situation, the city-state was powerful from Minoan through Hellenistic times, when it gradually declined.
In Greek mythology, Aptera was the site of the legendary contest between the Sirens and the Muses, when after the victory of the Muses, the Sirens lost the feathers of their wings from their shoulders, and having thus become white, cast themselves into the sea. The name of the city literally means "without wings".
In the third century BC, Aptera was at war with Kydonia, a prominent ancient city on northwestern Crete. In much of the Greek Archaic Period, Aptera was under the control of Kydonia. During the Lyttian War in 220 BC, Aptera was at one time in alliance with Cnossus, but was afterwards compelled by the Polyrrhenians to side with them against that city. The city was destroyed by earthquake during the 7th century.

The Juniper Queen
For the past six consecutive years, I have been blessed to travel with friends to Central Florida to fish, tell lies, unwind and most importantly, to photograph. For half of those visits, hurricanes have played both major and minor roles on when or even if we could go. A lady named Irma, toppled ancient trees and raising the water level for months to follow, hit this area hard a year ago last month. Our yearly October 2017 trip was canceled and rescheduled for April 2018.
Arriving seven months after Irma’s wrath, her impact remained evident both above and below the waters surface. It was during our first trip to the mouth of the Juniper River that I noticed her once again sitting high above her domain, the Juniper Queen. I had reached a point in our relationship that I almost expected her to be there for my arrival. On each of my previous visits I would photograph her as we passed under her to get to our favorite fishing holes, but on this April day, something was noticeably different. After taking a few shots, I cropped into the shot on the back of my camera to better see what was catching my eye.
Sadness quickly became the mood of the moment as I viewed her portrait; it was evident that this old girl had been battered about severely. Feathers from the top of her head were missing and her normally brilliant white majestic head was several shades of gray. She had several wing and chest feathers protruding at all available angles, she just looked sick. The only good news was that she was still with us, holding firmly to her spot.
Wondering what could have torn her up like that, my mind turned quickly to Irma and the battle for survival that must have taken place with all of God’s creatures in a hurricane. I pictured her riding out Irma right there; in her spot with the same attitude and gusto of Lt. Dan riding out the hurricane in Forest Gump, asking along the way “is this all you got?” Her photos from last April were so sad, I’m pretty sure that I simply deleted them. No lady wants her picture taken looking so poorly.
Earlier this month, as we cut across Lake George heading for the Juniper River, I could see from a distance that she was still there, holding her own…a blessing for us both. With the dark skies of one of Hurricane Michaels last bands behind her I took this shot. Looking so much better, so much stronger and as they say “Large and in charge” the queen was in fact back and in charge of her domain, with her newly developed head feathers protruding like a much deserved crown.

Rather a lovely old … very very old … hawthorn tree that probably made up a part of an old hedgerow many years ago (1600s).

The Big Bellied Oak also known as the sessile oak is about 1000 years old and has been named as one of 50 Great British Trees.
There is something ancient feeling about the redwood forest: the incredible height and size of the redwoods with smaller trees in the undergrowth and ferns on the forest floor.

A different world
This photo was taken inside The Map House – an amazing place. I liked the contrast here between the old, antique objects and the laptop and mouse.
We visited on a mission – to see the exhibition of maps of the London Underground. The displays were fascinating – from the earliest, realistic maps to the iconic examples designed by Frank Beck (and others) and including one new approach based on lines radiating out from a central hub. It’s we’ll worth a visit – although you’ll have to be quick as the exhibition closes on 30 November 2024.
