Thanks by the visit =)

The beginning of an arch formation - let's come back in 10,000 years and see what has developed. You can get a sense of the size from the small house lower left.

 

Most natural arches are formed from narrow fins and sea stacks composed of sandstone or limestone with steep, often vertical, cliff faces. The formations become narrower due to erosion over geologic time scales.

 

The softer rock stratum erodes away creating rock shelters, or alcoves, on opposite sides of the formation beneath the relatively harder stratum, or caprock, above it. The alcoves erode further into the formation eventually meeting underneath the harder caprock layer, thus creating an arch.

 

The erosional processes exploit weaknesses in the softer rock layers making cracks larger and removing material more quickly than the caprock; however, the caprock itself continues to erode after an arch has formed, which will ultimately lead to collapse.

This magnificent Japanese Garden which is located in Clingendael Park in The Hague and Due to its fragility, the garden can be visited only during a short period of the year, from end of April to mid June. The vibrant colors and the Intoxicating aromas of the flowers make the visit an unforgettable experience not to be missed.

 

The Japanese Garden was created in the beginning of the 20th century by the former owner of the country estate of Clingendael, Marguérite M. Baroness van Brienen (1871-1939), also called Lady Daisy. Lady Daisy sailed off a number of times by ship to Japan and brought back to the Netherlands a number of lanterns, a water cask, sculptures, the pavilion, the little bridges and several plants.

 

The original design with the serene pond, meandering brook and the winding pathways has remained intact all these years.

 

The Municipality of The Hague has always taken great care of the Japanese Garden because of its uniqueness and tremendous historical value. The garden was placed on the list of national historical monuments in 2001.

I am thinking this is the perfect way to begin a new day...

Up before sunrise to lie in a puddle bare foot. It also turned out to be cold, frosty and icy (we're having a really mild temperatured winter in the UK) - how lucky for me!

For my friends Patrick (Kansas Poetry) and Nancy on the celebration of their marriage. The happy couple hosted a wonderful reception this evening at the old Lawrence Train Depot. We had a great time helping them mark the beginning of their life of love together.

The future flies with the wind.....

This is #11 in my rebar series.

There was an eerie calmness this evening at the construction site, giving no hint that in the morning it would be crawling with workers building a new tower.

This Melbourne institution has grown enormously from its humble beginnings in technology. It is fast becoming the university of choice for overseas students seeking a career in architecture and design besides IT.

Six years ago, the start of our first trip to discover snow!

If you are someone inclined to look at exif data you would notice that after 6 years there is a camera change here. I am not one who needs to keep up with the "latest and greatest". My little D610 has served me well and given me many images that I love. However, my eyesight which has been poor since childhood has taken a nosedive over the last couple of years due to retina complications. I found it harder and harder to focus my manual lenses...especially my favorite old 135mm. Even on auto focus I couldn't really see whether my images were acceptable unless I was tethered to my computer and that was rare since I only do a little studio shooting.

 

For many months I deliberated over whether I could justify the expense...and which Nikon to go for. The D850 images had crazy awesome megapixel stats...but it is heavy and pricey. Then Nikon ran a sale on the D780 and I bit. I am so glad I made the leap...I can see so clearly through the viewfinder, and the live view option as well as the tilting screen have made the chore of shooting into a delight again.

 

So just as these fresh new ferns signal a new beginning with summer, so my camera switch is providing a fresh approach in my photographic journey.

 

OH and PS...if anyone with decent eyesight is looking for a perfectly good used D610 cheap, just let me know.

Thank you so much for your visit!

Wildflowers are beginning to bloom near Crested Butte, Colorado. A few snowy peaks of the Elk Mountains in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness rise up in the background.

One month from today I'll be in my truck moving back to Wisconsin. It's been a great run in the PNW, but you're too expensive and your traffic is a mess.

Saying hello to Spring, and new life.

After several years of anticipating a trip to the Clinchfield (despite only living a few hours away) I finally came up . Q692 is seen here entering the loops at Ashford, NC.
