A small but beautiful pine and birch forest where I often recharge my batteries. And yesterday, I saw a deer here for the second time. Unfortunately, I had my wide-angle lens on this time—or perhaps fortunately, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take this lovely forest photo with the deer in the background.

I think everything happens for a reason. :-)

Ein kleiner aber wunderschöner Kiefern- und Birkenwald in dem ich öfter meine "Batterien" auflade. Und zum zweiten Mal sah ich hier gestern ein Reh. Leider hatte ich diesmal mein Weiwinkelobjektiv drauf - oder vielleicht auch zum Glück, denn sonst wäre mir dieses schöne Waldfoto mit dem Reh im Hintergrund nicht gelungen.

Ich denke, alles hat seinen Sinn. :-)

From bud to bloom.

From my garden, a few days of lesser weather, the Roses suffered, I watched till I could no more and then brought them in... and here it is, one of them, the showy Just Joey, for our pleasure.

Few roses are as perfumed as 'Just Joey' a classic variety, with a fabulous scent and stunning depth of colour.

The salmon, coppery-orange flowers have pronounced red veining, with the whole bloom fading to a satisfying copper-buff with age.

It is also very disease-proof and undemanding.

Hybrid Tea Rose and has a fruity fragrance (to me it smells like ripe raspberries mmmmmm) which wafts from large ruffled salmon blooms, once opened.

This superstar rose is from England. Just Joey roses were inducted into the Hall of Fame by the World Federation of Rose Societies in 1994.

The flowers are well-formed with large, high-centred buds, supported by long, straight and upright stems.

The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit.

Have a lovely day and thank you for your comments, M, (*_*)

Dormition of the Theotokos Cathedral in the background and statue of Avram Iancu, Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Avram Iancu (1824 – September 10, 1872) was a Transylvanian Romanian lawyer who played an important role in the local chapter of the Austrian Empire Revolutions of 1848–1849. At that time Transylvania was part of the empire. Hungarian revolutionaries in Romania (many of whom were landowners) refused to debate the abolition of serfdom (which at the time was the state of the larger part of the Romanian population in Transylvania). He started rallying peasants in the Apuseni (Western Carpathian) Mts. to protest. As the Austrians granted the abolition of serfdom, they also forbade all representative institutions in Transylvania. Avram Iancu was censored throughout his life, had his library confiscated, and was placed under surveillance. The Austrian authorities knew that his presence alone served to inflame local sentiments. Avram Iancu was officially declared a Hero of the Romanian Nation in November 2016 by the Romanian Parliament and the president Klaus Iohannis.

Built in a Romanian Brâncovenesc style, a synthesis of Renaissance and Byzantine architecture, the cathedral is located in the Avram Iancu Square, across from the Cluj-Napoca National Theatre. The cathedral was built between 1923 and 1933, after the Union of Transylvania with the Romanian Old Kingdom. The main dome of the Cathedral, inspired by the dome of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, is surrounded by four Romanian Brâncovenesc style towers. The 18 large columns supporting the dome are sculpted in stone. The main material used for the construction of the Cathedral was stone extracted from Baciu and Bompotoc. (Wikipedia)

Macro Monday - Sweet spot squared

This was interesting as I quite often use f16 when I want everything in focus but went for f9 in the end for this shot as I felt the point of focus was slightly sharper (if I understand correctly, that was the point of this theme) I felt a bit like I was at the opticians...is it sharper or just closer...I'm never sure there either! ;)

I am slowly catching up after my weekend away. I am going away again in a few days so may not be on Flickr much for the next week, I will try to comment when I can but actually have a very busy few weeks ahead. HMM

a fleeting moment at the retiro park—where a pigeon takes flight, carving its path against the moody sky. the feathers stretch wide, catching the light, each edge outlined in quiet strength. the blurred waters and distant monument dissolve into whispers of the background, letting the bird own the frame. here, in black and white, is motion frozen and yet alive. it’s a pause before the air carries it further, leaving only a memory in its wake.

The stairs are an excellent perspective training. They climb and spin towards the background of the image. This is creating an imbalance and naturally guiding the eye.

In a staircase it is better to watch where you put your feet.

In the photo, this reflex is repeated.

I took This man in a hurry, a little later also, when he crossed the door.

Here he has its full dimension.

This cheap pack of pencils, still my favourites to write with... was brought into the studio, props for 'GOING BACK TO SCHOOL' advert, ahem... I also saw the possibilities of some 'creative' imagery, so I asked to keep them, more (useful) props.

I love the way this came together as a 'flower'.

Have a fun day, I did, and thanx, M, (*_*)

GEXR 2303 and RLK 4095 depart the harbour track with 10 loaded salt hoppers. In the background is the Sifto salt mine as well as freighters Frontenac and Algomarine. When this photo was taken the Algomarine had less than a month left in service. Her final load of salt was carried down the St Lawrence Seaway in early May and decommissioning took place at Montreal on May 10. She was then towed across the Atlantic under the name "Mari", arriving at a Turkish scrapyard in June.

I had some reasonable shots of a Kingfisher but they had a pretty uninspiring grey background due to a dull overcast day. So for the very first time I decided to find out how to change the background of the shot, this is the result not perfect by any means but more pleasing to the eye than grey. There is also a slight vignette, it's obviously not a natural background and I would always say if I had done this. Any thoughts ?

I don't usually like to put up new versions of old images, but I've broken my rule in this case. The previous version didn't give a sense of the scale of the building: it was just a crop of the top. This version, I hope, better conveys the height.

One of my still lives at candle's light to celebrate the cherries harvest.

Cherries are the fruit I prefer and also the true protagonists, the most precious fruits of my area.

I like to display cherries in a rustic way, on wooden trays or bowls but in this new Still Life shooting, I have been willing to lend what cherries represent in my area, pure jewels, more than the best chocolate pralines... An unforgettable gourmet delicacy for both taste and eyes. An experience that only lasts 2/3 weeks in the year, the time they are mature and picked up. Something unmissable...

Especially for this shooting:

Wrapping and display is important if the content is.

So, this time, I have been using as display tools only silversmith handmade author's jewellery.

Here to the right, a mini sterling silver bowl for the whipped cream, to the left a mini sterling silver fondue holder to melt chocolate and then deep inside a cherry. I made it for real, so in this photo chocolate is melting, well, maybe boiling and the candle blown up very quickly. I could not replace it as it's not a regular tealight, it's a customized mini tealight made especially to adapt to this miniature sculpture.

I built some candle's stands using some old camera tripods and fixing the candle holders on top of them. Apart this, well, I have an appointed personally conceived "technique" to display further candles in the angles where I need this particular natural light.

The ice cubes or the dry ice gas would eventually complete the special sweet fondue.

The cherries had just been picked up from the tree, I hurried up to shoot them in all their splendor of freshness.

This vision and this flavour are never possible when buying cherries from the groceries.

Zero km food is in most cases the very best food.
