I took this shot, and others, early in the morning. I didn't take my tripod but now I wish I had. This one came out really pretty but there is a ton of noise in it. So, don't look too close..))
Hope everyone's weekend went well. We're still having our usual "Hot" Texas summer. Luckily, I work inside. 105 is just too hot. Saudi Arabia can get up to 129. I don't know how they live in that heat
HBM!
The festivals were great. I'll post some images later, after I've had time to process them better. We were lucky with the rain.
This is from the grounds of Laguna Gloria museum/art school. It's a really place in west Austin. Lots of weddings are held on the grounds. Not so much in this area, but other sections where it's much prettier.
Beautiful area for walking and taking in nature. Quabbin Reservoir Visitor Center in Belchertown, MA.
I will return to catch this quaint little bench set in the dunes near Cresswell for a sunrise at some point, was just a scouting mission yesterday
Planters and benches on the park. HBM!

... waiting to be used.
Germany. Hohenheim Gardens. August ... a month with massive infrared light. So i don't hesitate to take "winter" shots in summer. My macro equipment at this day is placed on this bench.
Nikon D40. Lens 18.0-55.0mm f/3.5-5.6. ISO 200. 1/320 sec. f/8. 18mm. Using an infrared filter 720nm. Red/Blue channel swap in post production in order to get the dark blue sky.
If you are interested in an image of the disassembled Nikon D40 for infrared conversion ... here it is --> Nikon D40 Infrared Conversion.
Hello my amazing friends !
Another day, another bench to sit on. Those composite pictures are a completely new experience and obsession for me. I hope you like it as much as I do !!! This one is a melancholic bench to sit on and reflect on the last year … or just to watch the universe and think about the future… or the present. Or maybe this is bench for singles to sit on and wait for love ? Who knows ? All we can say is: there is a bench on a pencil with a red ballon floating in mid air and a lamp post. But it is way less romantic than a waiting for love bench…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well.
..HBM!!
This is an outside beach bar from the Holiday Inn, Corpus Christi/Padre Island, Texas. I was there early trying to get a sunrise shot but I was a little bit late..:( I can't image it being a lot of fun in this place, as it's the windward side of the Island. I was worried about my gear because I could feel sand and spray getting on me.
Looks like we're in for a wet week here.
Good thing we have flickr. Our connection to the outside world..;) For a big bird, Sea Gulls don't like to be in a space where they don't have a 360 view. At least from what I can tell. I was trying to be a little creative here and only focused on the bench.
I'm taking a couple of days off this week. I don't have anything planed, just trying to use up my vacation time before the first of the year.
spring is in the air. As I wander through this beautiful park, in another 12 days it will be jammed packed with visitors from everywhere., So I try to get here b4 that happens, and I was in luck, the weather was perfect (a few Days ago) and just a few families...perfect for photoging:)
HBM!!
The Quarter Shops is another one of those trendy shop here in Wimberley. And, of course, it has a bench..;) Someone said we must like to sit a lot around here because of all the different benches. I've actually, never seen anyone sitting in them. So, I have no explanation for all the benches we have around here. My guess is, at one time people must have thought them pleasing to look at. Maybe, even an art form. Whatever the reason, we do have a bunch of them. Enjoy..:))
Hopefully you can see the bench. I didn't want to crop it anymore than I did. Than I used Topaz for the special effects.
Still in quarantine here in Texas. However, I went to Loews today to pick up some stain and it didn't look like everyone was quarantined. Guess everyone was doing like me and working on a home project. I found this really gorgeous front door at a garage sale for $50 with glass inserts. It just needs some tender loving care..:) Can't wait to finish it
Hope everyone is holding up. I don't want to lose any of you..)
