High Rock Overlook -- More from our last adventure just days before the first lockdown. We got lucky to have the place basically to ourselves.
Captured at Kokeizan Eiho-ji Temple, a historic Zen temple in Tajimi City, Gifu, Japan.Right after a heavy snowfall, the wind suddenly died down, revealing a flawless mirror-like reflection.The "Garyu Pond" of the scenic garden designed by Muso Soseki, the roofed "Musai Bridge," and the National Treasure "Kannondo" hall are beautifully mirrored on the still water.An unforgettable winter landscape born from a moment of absolute serenity.
The roseate spoonbill is beautiful in almost any light but the setting sun gives it almost a luminous look !! We are so fortunate to have this species in Florida and to be able to see it in different situations and light .
Wishing you all a blessed and wonderful day !!!

This image of the black rhino was captured as he came down to the water whole just as the sun was beginning to go down. We were so thrilled that he came when he did because there was just enough sun to get a few images and then it was gone. Such awesome creatures and to know they were endangered we felt fortunate to have seen them and so close.
One day I was trying to capture a bird in my hedge and when I looked at my photo, this is what I saw!?? I had taken the photo through my window, but there was nothing of this shape on it. The 'apparition' seems to resemble a squirrel ... I have no idea what it was (some reflection?), but I thought it might be fitting to post it for Halloween! 👻
When I heard a 70 approaching Mill Lane Junction, Northampton, I was almost excited. However, when the train came into view, I was utterly disappointed, as it was virtually empty. I would usually refuse to take a photograph of such a train, leaving them instead for John Tomlinson, but as I had been starved of railway shots of late, tried something a little different.

It was a competition of some sort for young girls at the Fair. I was in the back of the room, and there was no way to get enough DOF to get both the phone and the stage in focus. But by taking two photos--first the phone, then the stage, in focus--I was then able to composite them into a single story telling image. I should have taken a third shot, since there is blur visible in the audience between the phone and the stage. Oh well, next time...

I was on my way out from a temple in Bagan when I saw this girl. She was just crouching there still as a rock and gazing aimlessly at a dry open dirt ground. I only took a few shots because there was nothing in her eyes to capture. Came to realized later that it was the "emptiness" that was the main story of this photo. I could only hope that one day her faith would turn for the better and that the emptiness would be filled with happiness and joy.

Thank you so much Heinz for this little piece of art.
Captured a few weeks back down at the pumping jetty, normally a sunrise location , but fancied a shot of it at sunset, a big sky beckoned that arvo so headed down, had some great clouds and a splash of colour so it worked out pretty well in the end.
Mind you the sunset to the west that night was blazing...
Ah well you make your choices...
