Captured while waiting out the rain under the pier. It didn't stop... Not complaining though, if not for the rain, I never would have spotted this image.
Hope everyone is having a great week, thanks so much for viewing! :)
Playing with items found in my kitchen is a wonderful way to dive into macro photography. I found myself thinking about the lyrics of the song, America the Beautiful. This is my version of purple mountain majesties, with a splash of pink and yellow. "The force that propels the human spirit on the clear way forward and upward is the abstract spirit."
Wassily Kandinsky
This image of a handsome Mandarin Duck was captured in an urban park somewhere in London. Although this particular duck was free-living, his relative fearlessness probably meant he interacted regularly with humans.
This species of duck is native to Eastern Asia (China, Japan and Russia), where they are now rare, although a large and thriving introduced population can be found in the British Isles and Western Europe, with additional smaller introductions in North America.
The Mandarin Duck is a very rare winter visitor to Hong Kong. Over the last five years of constant searching, I’ve only ever managed to see a single wild pair in Hong Kong.
Thank you for your interest, views, faves, comments and awards ! This image was captured in London, UK 英國倫敦. (Better viewed on a larger screen.)

As one rounds the sharp corner of a bend, this stretch of land progressively appears. At this time in the evening, reflections are prominent and even. The sky is almost the same blue as the water, and a single bright spot of light remains on a distant hill.
Soon this will be gone, so off to a safe pullout goes the car, Out I fly with tripod and camera in hand. The setup is fast with all settings predetermined. One shot happens, histograms are checked, adjustments are made, and one more chance to capture the moment. Then, the light on the far hill is gone, and it all fades into darkness.
Selfie with the Milky Way! 50mm bokeh Milky Way, I'm lit by two flashes, one I'm holding. Playing with tints on the flash units. Processed in Photoshop. On a hill on Moralana Scenic Drive north of Hawker. This was the shot I missed from the previous night, took a few goes to hold still enough!
