Taken up in Bláfjöll. Was surreal standing there, in the quiet by myself. Might go out again tonight, the sun is apparently going nuts these days and there was another solar eruption the other day, wich probably will hit earth today.
I heard that the borealis might be visible where they normally are not, by that I mean more south than they usually do, but don´t shoot the messenger if I heard wrong!
Trying out a new toy, the EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS II and had a little luck with the rise of the moon. It is a shame that light pollution, heat haze and high moisture content of the air reduced the image quality. Quite happy for a first attempt though.
A flower in my back yard taken with a vintage Soviet Helios 44-2 58mm f2 lens attached to my DSLR.
I was attempting to photograph bumble bees doing their thing in the garden quite unsuccessfully (manual focus lens, shallow focus, fast moving object, etc) but this bee was just taking its time in the flower - covered in pollen. Unfortunately I think it was at the end of its life - was still there this morning, still moving but very slowly. A night away from the hive.
My six year old daughter was in tears when she realised.
My grandmother told me long ago that once in a lifetime if I was lucky, I would see the heavens open for the celestial spirits to dance across the sky. Today I saw this!
I've recently watched an interview with Salvador Dali where he was stating that all his artwork are based on his dreams coming to him 10 minutes before he was fully asleep.
Dali learned over time to take control of his lucid dream state and with that, he mastered accessing his subconscious and used what he had found in his act of creating. Of course, the way he materialized what he found is truly amazing as well, in any ways, all his artwork are now fascinating manifestations of one man's creative mind, ideas and experiences, for all of us to see and wonder about.
This all made me think, this 10 minutes time period of lucid dream state, mystical space before we all are fully gone somewhere else; I cannot help noticing a parallel notion happening in the way nature behaves just before it awakes or falls asleep; the most unexpected, wonderous and profound events, colours, particles, sensations are seem to manifest themselves in those couple of minutes of lucid dream states of nature, just before it all settles again.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this Celestial Dawn?! I thought she'd been removed for a make-over ages ago. Anyway, the poor old gal looking rather shabby, against a not-so-interesting sky. The windmill and spire of St John's church visible in the distance.
Speaking of yawns, I think I might go and have a lie down. I've been AZd today, and feeling a bit weary (but pleased) 😊

Another jaw-dropping - breathtaking sunset in my town last night.
We have been missing the rain this week, but sunsets were beautiful every night.

"Quoi ?! ENCORE ?!" diront certains.
Eh oui, ENCORE une photo de ciel. Mais faut avouer que ce ciel du soir qui, à peine arrivé et aussitôt reparti, apparaissait depuis mon balcon, est très séduisant photographiquement.
Bref.
Je vous encourage, une fois de plus, à zieuter du côté de www.flickr.com/photos/192553045@N08 pour voir bien d'autres images de ciels nuageux aux innombrables nuances colorées ! Un régal pour les yeux !
Taken from an aeroplane 10 minutes after takeoff from Gatwick Airport by my son who had the window seat….Clearly already a better photographer than me!
Thanks for visiting.....
Beautiful dark skies of South Eastern Utah and the many arches around Moab give a lot of opportunity. The only thing to hold you back is your own imagination
