University started again and it's very interesting, but my schedule is really full as always and it's kinda exhausting already. So I will be (hopefully not to long) a bit missing on flickr. Additionally I have a flu since one week. Good news is my visit of munich was fantastic! Lots of sightseeing in one day - new record I think.
Have a wonderful monday friends!
Fun time with some coins, lightbox, and color prism. Hope you enjoy this series as much as I liked playing around with the light and angles of the light.

I've probably been in Thailand too long to think that the water of Emerald Lake would be anything other than freezing cold. Call me soft but even though it was a really hot day I only lasted a few seconds paddling in the lake
A bit different with the processing on this one...mostly due to the extreme shadows and highlights. I decided to do something different and embrace the chaos. I quite like the result, but prefer a nice overcast day for woodland and water...Turkish clear blue sky and blazing summer sun are not exactly the ideal conditions. Take what you get
Another bit of a reflection of a blossom on the bank of the bayou accompanying one of my good buddies! I like the way the light lit up from the sun! Taken on Horsepen Bayou!

A bit of photoshop fun for Sliders Sunday.
Don't ask about the concept here because I'm not sure there is one LOL.
The base image was taken with an ND filter to get a long exposure which removed all of the traffic. The A380 is one of my stock one which I've used before. I tried to work with the proportions here where the wingspan is 80 meters.. Alas, the width of the M6 here is more like 45 metres (verge to verge) making the shadow's wing span approx 60 metres.. So, still a little short...
Anyway, thought it was (just about) worth sharing.. HSS.
Went out for a bit today...I did have plans to go to other locations around central but there were issues with the trains ☹ Never the less, decided to visit St. Paul's! Got quite a few shots which I'll share over the next few days!
This is the first bits of jewelry I bought for my wife thirty three years ago. When we first discussed getting married this is what she picked out for the initial ring set and I added earrings and a pendant on a gold chain. Not a spectacular horde but it means something to her that goes beyond extravagance. HMM and thank you for any views, faves and comments.
Dave and Lee were both peering into dusty looking bags, brows furrowed, pulling out metallic black objects with bits of glass on them. These, I explained to them, were cameras. Their cameras in fact. “Do you remember cameras?” I asked. It was the pair of them that dragged me into this hobby. They looked a bit confused at this question and carried on talking about the football season that by now was all but finished for another year. “Would Ollie Watkins leave the Villa Lee? Apparently he’s a boyhood Arsenal fan and the Gunners desperately need to beef up their striking options.” Lee decided not to be too worried about the prospect of his team’s centre forward leaving for pastures new in the summer. “What’s this thing again?” “It’s a camera. You bought it on eBay, remember? What have you got now? Ooh a Pentax. You haven’t had a Pentax before have you?”
Getting these two to make themselves available at the same time and come out to play for an evening used to be so simple. Ten years ago, we’d be racing home from work, piling into Lee’s trusty old red Renault Kangoo (or Kenneth as he fondly called him), and pottering off to the coast for sunset, where Lee and I would usually end up pitching our tripods on the same square yard of rock in front of the lighthouse or whatever, and Dave, fine art degree at Liverpool Polytechnic and all, would ignore the obvious subject and wander off to do something interestingly creative with a thicket of brambles or a patch of nuclear green gunge in the shallows. If we were statistical samples, Dave would pretty much always be the outlier, and he’d usually produce what Lee and I would grudgingly concede was the shot of the night.
Nowadays, these gatherings have become almost as impossible as herding cats. Whenever I would attempt to wake up the Whatsapp group, one would be responsive and make appropriate noises while the other would remain electronically taciturn and a general sense of inertia would crawl across the entire enterprise once again. They’d take turns at being Mr Positive and Mr Ignoramus and I’d give up and go out on my own. Over the past three or four years these regular outings had almost all but died, replaced by flurries of shutter activity on the occasional residential field trip outside the county. The team at Morrison’s Cafe in Buxton are still counting the profits from our visit to the Peak District last May. Even now, we had one planned for Dartmoor in a couple of weeks, but Dave’s employers have decided to launch two new products at once, despite being short of key personnel, and he’s had to bail on the month entirely. So now we’re hoping to go at the start of September, when the colours should be a bit more interesting, and just before I head to Sweden for another photography jolly. It’s a busy old life you know.
But on Monday there was a pleasing sense of enthusiasm as the pair of them arrived and piled into my car - Kenneth is sadly long gone - for the short trip to Godrevy. Maybe we’d go down to Porth Nanven in a month or so when the white nights are here, we agreed. The field car park was open until nine, so we pulled up in front of the sea, where we sat, catching up with each other’s news. I wondered whether either of them would take the next step and actually get out of the car before it was time to go to the pub. Eventually we descended the steps down to the rocks to the right of the beach, where the tide was full. Late April is a good time to take a shot here when the sea is all over the foreground and the sun is creeping into the left hand side of the frame. But not so much when there are people everywhere. We moved on to where I really wanted to go this evening. The scramble down the cliff. “Remember that time we came down here when there was an amazing sunset?” “Yes, that was the first time we found this spot. Got some great shots that night but I deleted all my raw files afterwards.” That was ten years ago in fact. I don’t delete raw files anymore - not unless they’re complete duds.
An hour later, in time honoured fashion, Lee and I were standing on the same patch of rock taking more or less exactly the same shot, while Dave was a hundred yards to our left, facing in the opposite direction and shooting the sea moving in and out of a deep gully, although he’d forgotten his step up ring and couldn’t use his filters. “Do either of you by any chance have a 67-72?” We didn’t, but we each agreed that we might have one lying around somewhere at home, which wasn’t much use now. All was well in the world - well except for Dave not having brought all of his kit with him. He says he hasn’t got anything worth sharing, while Lee declared he was going to take another look. He at least must have an image to post here. He was standing in the same place as me, using the same filters. As for Dave, he’ll suddenly decide he’s got a masterpiece after all. We’re used to this reticence in demonstrating his genius in the editing suite. We await with bated breath. Will either of them post an image for the first time in forever?
It was time for the pub, three pints of Sea Fury and the customary appraisal of one another’s images from the evening. Dave left his camera in the car. He’s obviously still warming up. At least we were all out together again. That’s the best thing about it. A jolly boy’s outing to Godrevy on a beautiful spring evening with the entire summer ahead of us, and the prospect of more to follow soon.

This one is from Rose Garden on roof of Molde Town Hall
Most of my Rose photographs are captured in and around the city of Molde. Molde is the second largest city in the county of Møre og Romsdal, lies along the shores of the Romsdalsfjord in Western Norway.
The official, and also most common, nickname for Molde is The City of Roses or Rose City. The town's largest collection of roses is to be found at the Town Hall roof
A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds.

Happy mid-weekend, everyone! I have been a bit absent from the Flickrsz the last month or so... I have scampered through sporadically, but yes, catch up time for me again, and I can't wait to see the adventures you have all been sharing! I hope everyone has been happy, well and safe.
Here, I'm dancing the night away with my beautiful, super dear friend, Sparkle, 'cause we are both weird sleep freaks and night owls of the uppermost order! Sparkle so completely lives up to her name too, let me tell you! She shines from the inside out with megawatt light, and I swear she got in line twice when they were doling out beauty, intellect, charisma, mad artistic talent and kindness. You can't know her and not adore her. Love you, Sparkling Sassy Thing!! Oh, and I owe her an extra special thank you for working her artsy magic on my unintentional trademark hair glitches in this and for making our elbows look pretty doggone groovy too ... yep, I said that!
I hope you are all having super happy adventures in real life as well as in your online travels, and I am sending everyone heaps of love! xoxo 💕❤️
52 Weeks of 2019
Week 38: Get pushed
Category: Creative
The Brief:
The idea of the 'get pushed' theme is that each member of the group picks another member of the '52 weeks of 2019' group who he or she is going to challenge. Browse through the photo stream of that member and find an area of photography that is hardly present in his/her stream.Then give that member a short assignment in that area for him or her to work on next week (week 38).
Thanks to EricNearDetroit for pushing me to do an industrial abstract!

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
When the weather forecast announces freezing rain, it seems only natural to find sun or sunflowers for a bit of respite.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
Good to get those last minute bits done on Christmas Eve while you are enjoying this fab set from [QE Home].
Merry Christmas all!
a bit of a fuller more sweeping view of the terraces at Linderhof Palace in Bavaria... I was about mid level here I believe...very green with all plants life just coming alive in early May...you can see where I took the previous image just about lower middle ...I could have looked at this scene for eons..and never tired of it...but we were off to more beauty and the Bavarian countryside was beckoning to us and heading to explore the WEISS CHURCH or in German known as the" Weiskirche"...not far away..Church in the meadow...

This male wood duck was a bit agitated because an Anhinga was sitting on the top of the palm where the Wood Ducks had established their nest. He began to fly toward the nest, apparently hoping to drive the Anhinga away, but gauged its size and thought better of it. This image shows his decision to turn away. There’s nothing like a strong maternal instinct. The hen, after waiting for what seemed an interminable period of time, finally had the courage to fly right under the Anhinga, straight into the next. That was no small feat. The opening of the palm was small and when she entered it when it wasn’t encumbered by a big old Anhinga, she would awkwardly land on the lip of the palm and sometimes fall when getting inside. Good Mom! Just to give the Anhinga’s side of the equation, this palm was its normal perch used to dry off its wings, long before these annoying Wood Ducks showed up. Why should he leave, he was there first! Anyway, the whole episode gave me and several other photographers a lot of entertainment as we watched the nesting play out. In the end, as I previously posted, a mixed brood of Wood Ducks and Black-bellied Whistling Ducks made it into the world. Small chicks lead a perilous existence and have hopefully survived. Momma Wood Duck has kept them secreted away and to my knowledge they’ve been out of sight since the hatching. Good luck little guys!

A bit of blue skies popped through on Thursday afternoon, during our winter interlude! Temps were in the upper 50s when I shot this and it back in the low 20s now, and that's were it's going to stay for awhile Another Polar Vortex is here! Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
Bit of a bust outing. Too dark, not much going on, no lights - until I turned around and saw this creepy lil number on the hill behind me.
Whenever the day turns out to be a bit dull, which is definitely the case here today, I'm happy that I still have photos of the cherry blossoms on the banks of the Elbe in Dresden.
And so today I'm taking you back to this beautiful evening, which I spent here searching for appealing motifs.
Here we are again looking out of one of the trees at the beautiful backdrop of Dresden's Old Town, while the evening sun caresses the tree's blossoms.
And before you start thinking: I didn't climb the tree to take this photo. The branch hung so low that it was enough to hold the camera high above my head to get it in this position.
And with this warm and sunny view, I wish you all a happy Easter.
Immer dann, wenn der Tag etwas trüber ausfällt, was hier heute definitiv der Fall ist, freue ich mich, dass ich noch Fotos von der Kirschblüte am Elbufer von Dresden übrig habe.
Und so nehme ich Euch heute nochmals zurück zu diesem schönen Abend, den ich hier mit der Suche nach ansprechenden Motiven verbracht habe.
Hier schauen wieder aus einem der Bäume heraus auf die wunderschöne Kulisse der Dresdner Altstadt, während die Abendsonne die Blüten des Baumes umschmeichelt.
Und bevor Ihr Euch Gedanken macht. Ich bin nicht auf den Baum geklettert um dieses Foto zu machen. Der Ast hing so tief, dass es gereicht hat die Kamera hoch über meinen Kopf zu halten, um sie in diese Position zu bekommen.
Und mit diesem warmen und sonnigen Blick wünsche ich Euch allen ein schönes Osterfest.
