A narrow road, mostly an unpaved dirt road winds its way along Bali’s rugged east coast around the volcano Mt, Seraya. Back in time strangers were very rarely to be found there and the locals often looked with suspicion when someone like me went there. For my chauffeur, the jeep ride was also a real challenge! Sometimes he would stop and ask, where is the road? It was sometimes so steep that you couldn't see where it was leading in the curves. But the breathtaking view we could enjoy was worth all the trouble.
Hidden in the haze on the horizon we saw the neighboring island of Lombok, which is separated from Bali and the Asian tectonic plate by the deep Lonbok Trench. Lombok is on the Australian Plate and is very different from Bali in terms of flora and fauna. Here the sea is very deep and there are dangerous whirlpools and currents. The so-called Ring of Fire of the South Pacific is here with its numerous volcanoes.

Eine schmale Straße, größtenteils ein unbefestigter Feldweg, schlängelt sich entlang der zerklüfteten Ostküste Balis um den Vulkan Mt. Serayag herum. Früher waren Fremde dort sehr selten anzutreffen und die Einheimischen sahen oft misstrauisch zu, wenn jemand wie ich dorthin ging. Auch für meinen Chauffeur war die Jeepfahrt eine echte Herausforderung! Manchmal hielt er an und fragte: Wo ist die Straße? Es war teilweise so steil, dass man in den Kurven nicht sah, wohin es führte. Aber die atemberaubende Aussicht, die wir genießen konnten, war alle Mühe wert.
Versteckt im Dunst am Horizont sahen wir die Nachbarinsel Lombok, die durch den tiefen Lonbok-Graben von Bali und der asiatischen Kontinentalplatte getrennt ist. Lombok liegt auf der Australischen Platte und unterscheidet sich in Bezug auf Flora und Fauna stark von Bali. Hier ist das Meer sehr tief und es gibt gefährliche Strudel und Strömungen. Hier befindet sich der sogenannte Feuerring des Südpazifiks mit dessen zahlreichen Vulkanen.

For years, I've been asked to do pictures of me as comic book women, so I've done some online research to find out who they are and what they look like. Then I put together costumes to get their look as close as I can. Usually, it takes a good bit of photo editing. Making their look and building sets or finding good locations is a fun process. Thanks to the people who have suggested who they would like me to appear as. I have more in the works. If you have any suggestions, please drop me a line.
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.
Some weeks ago I rendted myself a perfect little spot on It All Starts With A Smile
8 different houses, fully decorated but all perfect in their own league.
Not only a perfect place to live but also a great place to visit, to hang out with friends and take pictures.
For more information visit It All Starts With A Smile website

Women are always told to be demure, to let the men take over and protect them, when in fact, we are quite capable of taking care of ourselves. We face challenges head on, on a daily basis and are able to hold our own. We are champions in our own right, never let someone ever dull your shine and continue to fight for what you believe in and want! <3
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!

Compositionally Challenged Week 18 Texture
Wanted to show the wonderful crisp and soft textures at the same time... a lye roll isn‘t common in many parts of the world, but you might know it, because the dough and process is the same as with Pretzels.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
I composed this image in response to a self-imposed photography challenge: create an interesting image of a door, or doors. In accomplishing this, I sought to construct a photograph that was open (pardon the pun) to interpretation.
