Another dip into last years RAWS that never got processed till now found this shot. The light was warm but quite flat and I think this could benefit from a retake where the path does not go out of view behind that tree... but it's still a nice enough image that can defo be revisited! I think the best shots rarely come from first time visits to a location unless you get very lucky with the conditions and light and you really have time to work the composition. I remember being rushed that night as I had to be back to run dads taxi services... If there is one thing that I find I really struggle with is time pressures... I am probably the slowest photographer in the world as I really like to just soak up a scene first and really work at the minor adjustments.

The Ancient Mariner
This statue was commissioned in 2002 by the Watchet Market House Museum Society.
It was sculpted by Alan B Herriot of Penicuik,Scotland and erected in 2003 as a tribute to Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
This renowned poet resided for some years at the nearby village of Nether Stowey. In 1797, whilst on a walking tour, Coleridge visited Watchet. On seeing the harbour he was inspired to compose one of ht best known poems in English literature,
"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
There were so many wonderful images to be taken at Deadvlei but this will be my last for awhile. I could not help but love this tree as it shows the the incredible lines and markings of the passing years. Probably hundreds and hundreds of years old the trunk is gnarled but with a beauty that I found truly amazing. It is hard to express ones feelings and the beauty that became so evident with the rising sun. Lighting up the surrounding Dunes with a reddish reflective light that was just awesome. Our world is filled with so many wonderful treasures and truly a privilege to see.
Wishing you an awesome and blessed Saturday !!

Went up to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest with some other photographers this weekend. Had a great time. Especially as it was my first time there combined with my first time shooting the Milky Way.
This is just one single exposure with some subtle light painting. Hope everyone likes it.

Η Αρχαία Μεσσηνία είναι περιοχή της αρχαίας Ελλάδας στον ίδιο χώρο με τον σημερινό νομό Μεσσηνίας. Συνόρευε με την Τριφυλία της Ηλείας, την Αρκαδία και την Λακεδαίμονα.
Messenia or Messinia (Μεσσηνία) was an ancient district of the southwestern Peloponnese more or less overlapping the modern Messenia region of Greece.

Been playing with film simulations, this is Eterna simulation without the added grain.

Carlos V, Rey de España y Emperador electo de Alemania, decide edificar su Palacio Real en la Alhambra, después de la visita que realiza a Granada tras su boda en Sevilla con Isabel de Portugal en 1526. Su implantación, a pesar de su diseño y calidad formal, cambió la imagen del recinto alterando su tejido interior y la conexión con la ciudad. El proyecto original contemplaba una gran plaza porticada al oeste y otra más pequeña al sur modificando de forma importante los accesos.
El Emperador decidió construir el Palacio al estilo "romano", probablemente influido por el propio Gobernador de la Alhambra y Capitán General Luis Hurtado de Mendoza, cuya familia jugó un importante papel en la recepción de la cultura italiana en Castilla, aunque el modelo del palacio pudo ser sugerido por Baldasare Castiglione, amigo de Rafael y de Giulio Romano.
El proyecto original se debe a Pedro Machuca, formado en el círculo artístico de la Roma de León X, que dirige las obras entre 1533 y 1550, fecha de su muerte, dejando terminadas las fachadas excepto las portadas de poniente y mediodía. Le sucede su hijo Luis que realiza el patio circular, quedando suspendidas las obras durante 15 años por la rebelión de los moriscos de Granada en 1568.
En 1619 se completa la columnata alta del patio y continúan las obras hasta su abandono en 1637, sin cubrir de aguas el edificio. El Palacio quedó inconcluso hasta que en 1923 Leopoldo Torres Balbás inicia un programa de recuperación del mismo con destino a museo, que culminará el arquitecto Francisco Prieto Moreno en 1958.
En la elección estilística del Palacio hubo una firme voluntad de expresar una arquitectura "a lo romano", mediante la originalidad de la planta, un círculo inscrito en un cuadrado, y el uso del lenguaje arquitectónico del pleno Renacimiento.
Del diseño general de la planta cabe destacar el empleo complementario de la Capilla octogonal, figura geométrica que viene a ser una segunda estructura centralizada del Palacio, de gran prestigio en el Renacimiento.

An old thorn tree is hollowed out by many winters. Grown out through the ruins of an ancient dry stone dyke wall.
When I visited this old dolmen at Kilclooney I managed to smash my phonecamera. My brother (he of the quick wit) told me it was the spirits of the dolmen getting their own back on me for disturbing their peace by taking photos.
This shot has been EXPLORE #1 on March 5, 2007. Thank you all!! :)
View of a street on the ancient district of Girona, in Catalonia (Spain). Best viewed large.
Before uploading precedent shot I had two candidates, same place, same treatment... I finally decided for that one. But given the broad acceptance it received, I finally have decided to show you the other one. I hope you like it too!
