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.”

Rising 6200 feet/ 1900 m above the town of Crestone Colorado, Challenger Point (14080 ft / 4292 m, right center) catches the last full rays of the sun along with other summits of the Sangre de Cristo range, including 14ers Kit Carson and Crestone Peaks. Challenger Point was named in honor of the seven astronauts who perished when the space shuttle Challenger broke up on liftoff in 1986.
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.

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
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."

Compositionally Challenged Week 47: Song Titles and Movie Titles
Song for a Dying Planet by Joe Walsh 1992
www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYwg6PneRRE
"Is there anyone out there?
Does anybody listen or care anymore?
We are living on a dying planet
We're killing everything that's alive
And anyone who tries to deny it
Wears a tie
And gets paid to lie
So I wrote these songs for a dying planet
I'm sorry but I'm telling the truth
And for everybody trying to save it
These songs are for you, too
Is anyone out there?"

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.
……Went for the Circus side of the theme in this weeks Smile on Saturday, the chair is a creation by the Daughter in Law from a few Christmases ago - made from a top off a bottle of Bubbly, balancing it was a challenge but not insurmountable! The Elephant came from Jill’s moms but needed a pair of Tusks - unlikely to be Ivory poachers, however a few minutes with a Crochet needle (also Jill’s moms) I fashioned a new pair for him! The Ball is a remnant from when our Grandson was little. And finally, the Big Top backdrop is the curtain we hang over the front door to keep the direct sun off it. Indeed it was natural sunlight here, ‘Click’ & hey presto - Smile On Saturday, well after some minor edits just in Lightroom only. Alan:-) HSoS……

It's just about 8:15 AM on a gloomy morning during the last week of the Alaska Railroad's 2017 summer passenger season. The passengers aboard the Coastal Classic (train 210W) cruising toward Seward have been riding in darkness for most of the 90 minutes they've traveled so far since pulling out of the historic Anchorage depot. The SD70MAC/GP40-2 duo leading the way are seen here at about MP 70.6 on the ARRC mainline just south of Kern Creek in this wide angle view looking across the Seward Hwy from the small Forest Service pull off. Getting this shot without cars or tourists blocking the view can be a challenge is it is a very popular spot for visitors to stop for a photo to mark their adventures in the 49th state.

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.
