This is what a visitor sees when exits from the other side of the upper Antelope Canyon. I've made this photo for the second time after seven years and the result is almost the same; but this time I was more prepared to capture its stunning textures details; then I underexposed a little in order to capture all blue and purple hues that the sensor was able to register, maintaining the strong light coming from the outside. The result is something that I printed on a metal surface like aluminium in a vertical, supersaturated composition.

Bit of a special evening yesterday! Popped up to one of my favourite local places after work, Healey Dell nature reserve near Rochdale, a little hidden gem of a place right near the town, kinda hidden away.
It's the kinda place that if it was in the Lake District it would be swamped by visitors and you'd have to pay £10 to park, but as it is, there's virtually never anybody around, even locals don't know what they have there :)
This is the 2nd of a series of 5 or 6 big waterfalls that run through the place.
But when I got there my eyes nearly popped out at how beautiful it had become with the golden leaves carpeting the rocks.
One of those special moments that makes you feel good to be alive :)
Hope you like, Visit my Facebook page if you want more pics and info
Happy Friday all :)
A bit of refreshment for my Flickr friends in the Northern Hemisphere.

Peaceful Sunday
An easy way to get to the top of Mount Alyeska.
Alyeska Resort is a ski resort in Girdwood, Alaska, approximately 27 miles (44 km) from the city of Anchorage. Mount Alyeska is part of the Chugach mountain range and the Alyeska Resort is the largest ski area in the state. The lux Alyeska Resort is far below.
Bet it looks a bit different today.....another summer view in the comments.
Have a great week!
It's a good thing foil came up as a theme for Macro Mondays because now I have a reason for keeping a bag of multicolored foil bits! Perhaps they'll make it into ice cubes some day but for now it's a foil abstract.
The image area measures about 1.5 inches X 1.5 inches.

Knowing a bit more about photography makes it easier to understand how and why some oil paintings, say the impressionist, abstract or even watercolour paintings, came into being.

A review by Flickr friend/Connoisseur Gertrud Klopp
This image featured in my latest Vlog on the subject about Better Compositions for Landscape Photography. The Video discusses the Golden Triangle as a way to improve your images by placing element on the lines created by a diagonal line for corner to corner, and two other lines from the empty corners which intersect the first line at right angles. The link to my Video is above
A bit of Sliders Sunday fun with a dose of detail/contrast boosting and a pinch of desaturation to make this shot of the backside of Durdle Door pop a little. The stairs I posted a week or so ago can be seen here on the very right side of the shot.
I'm still mostly off Flickr, visiting irregularly and not commenting much myself so I'll leave commenting off on this one as well. BTW, I found out why, when comments are turned off, some people can still leave comments. Apparently if you post to groups the other members of those groups are still able to comment. Who knew...

Think I will have a "Bit of Something on Blue week" (bound to be fairly minimal so no offence if you decide to pop back when it's all over :-)
I always pass this pump station at Elan in mid Wales and think tilt-shift would work, finally the miniature version is here!!!
While watching into an aquarium, I met this little guy (and immedeately fell in love). He was very interested in me and followed my camera in every part of his little world. I think he saw himself, mirrored in the glass of the lense.

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
she had bits of soul
in everything. from
her laugh to her
tears and in a world
of plastic smiles
and corrugated
feelings,
you couldn't help
but feel it.

Would have gone out today, it was fine enough, but other things got in the way. So took a photo of some ribbon I found, while sorting out something else. It looked OK, but I decided to play around with it a bit.
Today is : National Garlic Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/national-garlic-day-april-19/
And for Some Other News it's : National Hanging Out Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/national-hanging-out-day-april-19/
I would have done, but didn't have anything to hang out. 😂
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Sethi, the hunter, in his jungle. The current rather wet and cold weather slows him down a bit and reduces the number of rodents which end up either dead or alive in the house. I'm so glad that Cleo doesn't hunt anymore and Tofu has never shown much interest in chasing and killing other creatures.
Took a bit of a balancing act to get the sun-kissed red rock rims to reflect on the geometric pick-up sticks of ice. A storm is due in shortly with warmer temps tomorrow. I'm looking forward to a fresh batch of ice!
Sunset Fog the weather has been a bit more Spring like with some strong rains, an unusual early evening fog settles in, shot in North Carolina.
A bit of sunshine at last, and the meadows are full of buttercups.
Pylons, with their geometrical structure, may be photogenic in their own way.
