I was challenged by my very dear friend Ethan to partake in the #guardyourlight challenge that T E E J ✿ launched spontaneously a few days ago on her Flickr.
I was inspired and snapped this last night. Now it's my turn to challenge some talented artists to keep it alive and do something inspired by those words !
Friends, if you've been tagged,
grab your cameras and "Guard your light! "

”You have this way of seeing the Light in others. You have this way of noticing what is beautiful and unique about those around you. And I just hope you know, the same Light you see within others is shining within you too. You have this way of holding up a mirror to others and making sure they feel seen, and this is a very valuable thing. But sometimes, that can make you feel a little less seen yourself... a little less valuable, and less important than everyone else. So in case no one told you lately, it’s okay to turn that mirror around and see you for you, too. And know that no matter who does or does not notice you, Light is running wild within you. It shows up in your laughter. Your stories. Your presence. And I am sorry for all the times no one has taken the time to let you know this, in the same way that you have done this for so many others. I just wanted to remind you this is true: the same Light you see in others is shining within you, too.”

Compositionally Challenged Week 20 - Active Space
After looking in my bird books, I think this is a Swainson's Hawk.
We watched the hawk for several minutes while it moved from one branch to another before it took flight carrying a piece of bark.
For this week's MacroMondays

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. Its the ache in your lugs and the burining on your legs and the voice inside that yells you "can't" but you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whispers "can". And you discover the person you though you were, is no match for the one you really are.

A little shoreline bokeh dedicated to Phan Ly for a great testimonial she wrote me - thanks and HBW!
My neighbor's beautiful Husky. She is very loving, sweet and gentle. But, she's also a protector, so you'd better not mess with her owner because Sasha will defend and protect her.
Challenge #196: Selective Color
They are fighting over a crab you see in the water. None of them knew what to do with it and never even cracked it open. The gulls did that for them.
The challenge calls for "My Favourite Things". I have lots of favourite things to choose from but visiting the Sumatran Tigers at Australia Zoo is really a great pleasure.
"Australia Zoo is home to some of the last surviving Indonesian species of big cat – the Sumatran tiger!
Found throughout the forests and grasslands of Sumatra, these big cats are the smallest of all remaining tiger species. They are an impressive and powerful hunter with the ability to jump up to 5 metres (16 feet) in length! Using their stealthy stalking abilities, they will successfully hunt deer, pigs, jungle fowl and fish. Sumatran tigers have a range of vocalisations and communication tools. Their roar can be heard up to 3 kilometres (1.8 miles) away. Crikey! Like all tiger species, their beautiful orange and black striped coat is unique to every individual, just like our fingerprints!
Sumatran tigers are a critically endangered species. There are fewer than 350 left in the wild. These beautiful animals are victim to the illegal wildlife pet trade, illegal poaching for traditional medicine, illegal hunting for pelts and meat, as well as experiencing rapid deforestation and habitat loss. They are a species that is facing certain extinction without our protection."

It's mainly very expensive clothes for people who spend summer holidays on boats. With summer over, I don't think there will be many customers. There was only one boat left in the harbour after I saw the last three sailboats leave. The canal will now be closed until next summer.
Saturday Self-challenge - numbers
Dor Walker, here's my version... adjusted various tones & hues plus the little puddle. Tried to add some punch to it but don't know if I succeded.
Thanks for the challenge!
Wakering Photography Group Rust Challenge.
These items were at the Battlesbridge Antiques and Reclamation Centre.
These garden Ornamental Obelisk are also made on site by the company (anyoldfrenchiron.com) I was quite impressed with this one.
HEHEHEHEH - always good to see where we started and where we are now. 10 years ago, and this isn't what I looked like when I started here in SL that's even a bigger difference.

Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
When it comes to my pictures, I like to talk about challenges. Often, it's not about getting the best photos, but about the challenges in a particular situation.
In an old building that may be over 100 years old, such a window situation is unusual and only occurs in this room in the museum building. Of course, a tripod is not allowed.
So I tried to expose the outside and inside of the room in backlight, as close as possible to the exact same position.
Wide-angle lenses have their problems when orthogonal lines are distributed throughout the room because they distort in a cushion-shaped and barrel-shaped manner, and if you're unlucky, both at the same time (moustache type), and so a room where windows, corners, ceilings, and works of art form a grid makes the optical errors obvious.
This meant that I had to superimpose the exterior image over the interior image, and of course there were deviations, so I not only had to correct the distortion but also, quite often, correct parts of the image.
However, I found this “Petersburg hanging” of Münster Cathedral so interesting that I really wanted to show you the situation with a work of art by Albers, a work of art probably by Serra, and a black picture by an artist I don't know.

Ich spreche bei meinen Bildern gerne von Herausforderungen. Oft geht es mir gar nicht um die besten Fotos, sondern um die Herausforderungen in einer bestimmten Situation.
In einem alten Gebäude, das über 100 Jahre alt sein kann, ist eine solche Fenstersituation ungewöhnlich und kommt im Museumsgebäude nur in diesem Raum vor.
Ein Stativ ist natürlich nicht erlaubt. Also versuchte ich im Gegenlicht eine Belichtung des Außenraumes und eine Belichtung des Innenraumes, möglichst in der absolut gleichen Position.
Weitwinkel haben ihre Probleme, wenn über den ganzen Raum orthogonale Linien verteilt sind, weil sie kissenförmig oder tonnenförmig verzerren, wenn man Pech hat, beides gleichzeitig (Moustache-Type), und so ein Raum wo Fenster, Ecken, Decken und Kunstwerke ein Raster ergeben, macht die optischen Fehler deutlich.
Bedeutet, ich musste das Außenbild über das Innenbild bringen und natürlich gab es Abweichungen, und musste nicht nur entzerren sondern ganz oft einzelne Bildteile entzerren.
Jedoch fand ich diese "Petersburger Hängung" des Münsteraner Doms so interessant, dass ich euch die Situation unbedingt zeigen wollte mit einem Kunstwerk von Albers, einem Kunstwerk von wahrscheinlich Serra und einem schwarzen Bild, von dem ich nicht den Künstler kenne.

A Roseate Spoonbill runs up from the water at the approach of a challenger, ready to see who is strongest.
I took a challenge to take a clear photo of my daughter & sun in law in this lovely misty surrounding to keep it for remembrance about kodaikanal trip. .
thanks for every one for views, faves & comments.
Même secteur, quelques minutes plus tôt. Un petit 12 venu défier de la voix le maître des lieux. Le bougre nous est sorti dans les pieds ou presque. Pas de miracle à pareille (courte) distance...

Matin d'hiver sur le palier
Tu rentres chez toi
Le regard froid, les cheveux mouillés
Tu n't'expliqueras pas
J'ai embrassé tous tes défauts
J'ai fini par les trouver beau
Le cri de ton coeur lui sonnait faux
Comme les toutes premières compos
Dis-moi, c'est bien nous deux qui avons froisser les draps
Dis-moi qu'c'est toi et moi
Elle me dit qu'elle est fidèle
Mais elle sort sous la pluie
J'crois bien qu'j'l'ai vu à l'hôtel lundi soir avec lui
Elle passe des heures à s'faire belle
Mais pressée de s'enfuir
Madame sort toutes les nuits sans son parapluie (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Elle sort sans son parapluie (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Elle sort sans son parapluie (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Jardin d'hiver, la fleur est fanée
Je ne saurais pas
Comment te plaire ni comment t'aimer
Je ne te reconnais pas
Pourquoi tous ces mystères mais dis-moi à quoi tu joues?
J'vis sous l'même toit qu'une étrangère
Qui s'éloigne jour après jour
Dis-moi, c'est bien nous deux qui avons froisser les draps
Dis-moi qu'c'est toi et moi
Elle me dit qu'elle est fidèle
Mais elle sort sous la pluie
J'crois bien qu'j'l'ai vu à l'hôtel lundi soir avec lui
Elle passe des heures à s'faire belle
Mais pressée de s'enfuir
Madame sort toutes les nuits sans son parapluie (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Elle sort sans son parapluie (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Elle sort sans son parapluie (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Madame se fout (se fout)
De tout (de tout)
De la pluie dans son cou
Elle passe de rendez-vous en rendez-vous
Madame se fout (se fout)
De tout (de tout)
De la pluie dans son cou
Elle passe de rendez-vous en rendez-vous
Elle me dit qu'elle est fidèle
Mais elle sort sous la pluie
J'crois bien qu'j'l'ai vu à l'hôtel lundi soir avec lui
Elle passe des heures à s'faire belle
Mais pressée de s'enfuir
Madame sort toutes les nuits sans son parapluie
Elle me dit qu'elle est fidèle
Mais elle sort sous la pluie
J'crois bien qu'j'l'ai vu à l'hôtel lundi soir avec lui
Elle passe des heures à s'faire belle
Mais pressée de s'enfuir
Madame sort toutes les nuits sans son parapluie (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Elle sort sans son parapluie (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Elle sort sans son parapluie
Elle sort sans son parapluie
Elle sort sans son parapluie
