Last night at 10:45pm, William McIntosh sent me a text, "70% chance of awesome sunrise at Leo Carrillo Beach". I immediately declined and he sent back "Boo". After checking Bill's conclusions on NWS and Skyfire it only took 30 secs to succumb. Alright I'm in, I replied. Again I would have to be up and ready to go in 5 hours. Forget it I'm not going to be able to sleep I thought to myself and I was right. I spent the next 4 hours studying and watching Youtube videos about photography locations. I have now been awake for 36 hours straight.

During our last trip to Malibu Beach, Bill and I ran into another photographer on the beach that turned out to be a real nice guy. While we where loading up the car Bill had ask him if he knew of any other interesting spots in the vicinity to shoot. The man says that just up Pacific Coast Highway about 10 miles was a cool little spot that he liked to shoot on occasion. A little spot found around lifeguard shack three just passed the parking area he says. It was already after Golden hour but Bill and I decided to go and scout it out for a future trip. What we found was such a cool location which we were "Surprised" to find included a double arch, several small sandy beaches, a flat reef shelf and a pass through cave leading to a little hidden beach while during sunrise has a beautiful glow entering it from the east. This is a shot of one side of the double arch, the view of the double arch can only be captured during the point of lowest tide but during high tide it is possible to capture one side of the arch which is seen here. The sky exploded with color and Bill has now dubbed me his lucky charm after 7 of our last 8 excursions were blessed with fantastic light. I'll take those odds anyday. Funny thing, I was just thinking the same about him. Hehe. Hope you like it!!! If you do please leave a quick comment.

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead my friends!! :)

Capture taken during last year fabolous summer vacation in the southern France area. Hopefully we can return back in August! Stay safe and healthy! Cheers, Udo.

This is a record shot of the rarely seen opened wings of a female Clouded Yellow Butterfly (Colias croceus). They never seem to settle with their wings open so I was pleased to capture this shot in flight. Not the sharpest of images I know, but chuffed that I had accidentally managed to capture it.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

I went out with a mission, I wanted to capture the light

I went up stream

And down stream

In to my forest

And out again

Happy clicking away

Wow

The passion

It's this urge, it kind of boils inside me

How happy you feel when you see what is unfolding in front of you

How happy you are to be out hiking

Using your body and mind in the best way ever

That's joy, the ultimate joy, instant joy, no fake

I find light in different ways, either it's inner light or out in nature, hiking or together with certain people.

There are some precious people out there. Spending your time with this kind of people you may actually feel that there has been switched on an inner extra light within you when you stay in their sphere.

You get recharged

That is also a kind of light

The precious light

Love

I love light

My light captured this time is my Grand Canyon

Well it's not grand

lol

But it's my Grand Canyon

It has a bridge over it, therefore the darkness - and the light.

Neat, huh? Yes yes

I was definitely EvaThrilled

Royal Scot Class 4-6-0 46115 'Scots Guardsman' stands at Newcastle Central with West Coast Railway Company's steam excursion from York to Edinburgh (1Z78).

It was nice to see the drama of the event appealed to folk across the ages!

For the lucky passengers, the journey from here to Edinburgh was a leisurely one taking just over 4 hours - plenty of time to allow the fine dining to digest before a bit of sight-seeing around the hilly Auld Toun!

Steam locos don't feature too often on this stream but, being up in Newcastle for a few days, it seemed like too good an opportunity to miss. Looks best full-screen.

My daughter photobombed this capture taken on the colorful morning. You can see here off to the side there with her camera and tripod. It was a great morning to share there with her.

This wet feather was sitting on a fence in the Lyde Garden that I was walking in. I liked the colour contrasts, the water drops, and the way that part of it was draped over the edge.
