This solitary Sequoia tree was not at all what you expect to see alongside a canal in Wales but there it was!

Created for Glow's "Art and Architecture" challenge.
Had a lot of fun today playing with photos on my iPad while flying over the U.S. on my way to Michigan. The odd spire - that I tripled above - towers over Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles. I suspect it has a purpose but I have no idea what it is!

Unusual for me to take a photo, process it and post it within 24 hours but I did with this! (do I hear rapturous applause? - no, thought not! hehe)
It's a scene from Stanton Moor in the north of the peak district, a lovely serene place with a real feel feel for ancient history, stone circle, standing stones, burial mounds, etc - and lots of Birch woodland.
This is two side by side shots stitched together and Andyfied - various blurring techniques then I made two copies, slightly bloated one and then merged the two slightly to give it a nice hallucinogenic feel. Finally, two copies again, one colour and and one B&W with a top to bottom merge at reduced transparency just to make sure you see the LSD goblins chasing around!
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Onion family".
Shot with a Noritsu "38-60 mm F 4-4.8" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Two spelling errors right in my title that I did not see until this morning. How embarrassing.
Some houses done with the blur effect in Photoshop Elements 15.
Tutorial here on you tube. This one helped me learn this technique.

It seems that I cannot add this to the slider Sunday group. How weird. This morning I can add to the group.
Happy Slider Sunday
Euphorbia milii. Crown of Thorns, Christ Thorns. Toxic.

A new company Firefly attempted to launch a much smaller, cheaper rocket last night at Vandenberg Space Force -- unfortunately they experienced (in their words) "An Anomaly" 2 minutes into flight and had to abort the mission over the Pacific Ocean.
Actually check that, significant portions of metal and insulation have actually floated to the ground just east of Santa Maria, now that's a little scary and is NOT supposed to happen.
Starting from the beginning when they delayed the launch an hour it was sort of doomed to failure.
My dictionary defines Anomaly as "Something abnormal; an irregularity" --
Those Texans sure have a gift for understatement.
Log 1.003 : No sooner did i get off of Space Station Goliath, did I meet with another issue. A shock wave of energy ripped through space and an anomaly appeared. My scanners and computer went haywire. I had no way of getting a clear reading on what I was seeing. This must have been what the rumors were about, must have been what the stations computers mentioned. I tried to steer away, but the controls of my ship wouldn't respond. I headed right toward it.
a blast of my two favorite colors and the smiles (or one smile) of two of my favorite people from our trip last year.
Dandelion.
Yep. It's that time of year again. Still looking to take a good dandelion pic. This is the latest idea...
Yey! I did a high key one... not something I find easy for some reason.
Rushed again tonight so just squeezing this in and then making a dash for it. Thanks a bundle though for all your faves and comments :(
For Thursday Monochrome and my 100x Monochrome & Toned challenge - only zillions behind now :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Thursday Monochrome and 100x :)
[Handheld in daylight, in the wild remote lanes of Gloucestershire.
Developed in Photolab for tones and colours, noise control and a bit of clarity trying to get just a little bit of detail on the border.
Retouched in Affinity; sharpened (USM) and cropped. Flipped horizontally - yey!
Converted in Silver Efex starting with one of the High Key variants (some of dark ones looked promising too - perhaps I'll have a go with one of those too sometime).
Light sepia toning.
Light vignette back in Affinity.]
A full size view of the scale here.About 10-15mm in height and the amount of detail that can be captured within a pure water drop.Had to tilt the base so a very large drop would sit nice in the seed head and so it would not snap the stem or fall off,some weight there and have to get it just right.The seed is stuck down with sugar water btw,but glue is just as good.love optics.

**Prompt :**
Créature extraterrestre biomécanique d’une complexité vertigineuse, en plan rapproché frontal, occupant presque tout le cadre, regard fixé directement sur la caméra. Sa peau est une mosaïque organique irisée, mêlant textures de corail, métal vivant et micro-organismes luminescents, couverte de centaines de petites excroissances sphériques semblables à des yeux secondaires ou capteurs sensoriels. Deux immenses yeux principaux dominent son visage, ultra détaillés, avec des iris fractals aux couleurs spectrales (bleu électrique, orange incandescent, violet cosmique), réfléchissant un univers étoilé.
Autour de sa tête, plusieurs appendices flexibles et tentaculaires émergent, certains terminés par des bulbes translucides brillants, comme des antennes bioluminescentes. L’éclairage est cinématographique, composé de halos lumineux diffus, lens flares arc-en-ciel, particules flottantes et poussières cosmiques en suspension. La scène baigne dans une ambiance galactique, avec un fond flou évoquant une nébuleuse multicolore et des traînées de lumière dynamiques.
Profondeur de champ très faible (bokeh artistique), netteté extrême sur les yeux et textures centrales. Rendu hyperréaliste en 8K, micro-détails poussés (subsurface scattering, reflets humides, micro-rayures, condensation). Style visuel entre science-fiction organique et art surréaliste, rappelant un mélange de biologie extraterrestre et d’orfèvrerie cosmique.
Ambiance émotionnelle : étrange, fascinante, légèrement dérangeante mais hypnotique. La créature semble consciente, presque mélancolique, comme une entité ancienne observant silencieusement.
Caméra : objectif macro cinéma.
Éclairage volumétrique, rendu Unreal Engine / Octane, HDR, contrastes riches, saturation contrôlée. Composition centrée, symétrie imparfaite pour accentuer l’organique.

**Prompt:**
A hyper-detailed biomechanical alien creature, captured in a tight frontal close-up, filling nearly the entire frame, staring directly into the camera. Its skin forms an intricate iridescent mosaic blending coral-like textures, living metal, and bioluminescent microorganisms. The surface is covered with hundreds of tiny spherical protrusions resembling secondary eyes or sensory nodes.
Two primary eyes dominate its face, अत्यremely detailed, featuring fractal irises glowing with spectral colors (electric blue, molten orange, cosmic violet), reflecting a star-filled universe.
Surrounding its head, multiple flexible tentacle-like appendages emerge, some ending in translucent glowing bulbs, like bioluminescent antennae. The lighting is cinematic, with soft luminous halos, rainbow lens flares, floating particles, and drifting cosmic dust. The background is blurred, evoking a vibrant multicolored nebula with streaks of dynamic light.
Very shallow depth of field (artistic bokeh), razor-sharp focus on the eyes and central textures. Hyperrealistic 8K rendering with extreme micro-detail (subsurface scattering, wet reflections, micro-scratches, condensation). Visual style blends organic science fiction with surreal art, like extraterrestrial biology fused with cosmic jewelry.
Emotional tone: strange, mesmerizing, slightly unsettling yet hypnotic. The creature appears conscious, almost melancholic, like an ancient entity silently observing.
Camera: cinematic.
Volumetric lighting, Unreal Engine / Octane render style, HDR, rich contrast, controlled saturation. Centered composition with subtle asymmetry to enhance the organic feel.
