This image was taken just over a week ago during a explore at a local woodland.
The aim was to capture the change of seasons. The autumn colours were there however summer was still visible.
The foggy conditions helped to motivate an early start as it was still dark when I got to the location. With the fog present I knew that it was going to be a good visit.
I was lucky enough to see one of the Black Swallowtail cats changing out of his 3rd instar outfit into his 4th instar. As is typical of caterpillars, once the skin was fully shed, he/she turned around and ate it. It is believed that they do this so as not to leave an easy sign for predators. Ingenious.
The sky was a blood red due to the rising sun. I grabbed my iPhone (Camera being packed) and walked outside and within those seconds the red had gone and had degraded into an orange. Disappointed the blood red had degraded so quickly, but the skyscape was, in my opinion, still interesting.

This image was taken minutes before the next image in my stream - amazing how quickly the light can change!
A queen, a change of fate, and the burn of fire to take it all away

Changes.. that is a thing a highly sensitive person like myself doesn't like very much! Fortunately it was changing into sun and blue sky when I took this picture : )

It's amazing how fast photography is changing. I never gave HDR a thought until just under a year ago when I used my own car for my first HDR experiment on Jan.1st of this year. This photo now just happens to be my #1 most viewed photo at about 50,000 views (mostly because of you do a search for HDR it's usually the #1 or #2 most relevant photo).
And this photo is another in the series I did with my work buddy Jeff. The original Viper photo I posted is now my #1 most interesting photo of all time.
And according to my most interesting photos, the top 14 shots are all HDR shots, all taken this year. My previous #1 shot held that position since I initially posted it over 2 years ago. This was when I was at my peak of doing night-time long exposure shots. At that point, my photography was all about going out somewhere random late at night and taking long exposures at night. I also had my times doing tilt shift miniture fakes and using toy cameras for another way of looking at things as well as using textures to help enhance a photo.
What I'm getting at is that these fads come and go. Who knows what will be next? Years and years ago, improvements in photography came at the advances in use of film, and better lenses, and artificial lighting, but these came at a rate of every few years.
My next goal is to obtain and use slip-in filters to create more natural, even exposures.
I know a lot of people going back to film and understanding the original principles of what makes an out-of-the-camera photo more interesting. I think if we all strive to start there, we'll need to do a lot less enhancing to obtain Explore greatness.. or even the accolades from our peers.
Happy rainy Monday. I hope most of you have all your shopping done.
Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes or fynbos. In local tradition, the protea flower represents change and hope. The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape flora are thought to be caused in part by the diverse landscape, where populations can become isolated from each other and in time develop into separate species. The main vectors responsible for the transfer of pollen in protea cultivation are birds, insects, and wind. Some Protea species exhibit both self-pollination and cross-pollination as a method of reproduction. Cross-pollination is preferred, though, as a method of reproduction because it provides genetic diversity in the population. When cultivating proteas, breeders use hand pollination as a controlled method to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Proteas usually flower during spring. The general structure of their flower heads consists of a mass of flowers on a woody receptacle. The ovary is protected by the receptacle, thus is not seen when looking at the flower, but the anthers are present at the top of the flower, which can then easily transfer the pollen to the vectors. 17529
During the trekking on Annapurna Circuit, Nepal, the scenery changes often, from green trees to barren land, with snow capped peaks at the far end.
•The truth about Yosemite: www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Sexual-Harassment-Common-in...
Morals are how we treat people we know. Ethics are how we treat people we don’t know.
Morals are what make us a good parent, a good friend a nice neighbor.
Ethics are how we build a society, that’s the true test of our higher self.
What happens when society is ruled by the subjective morals of sociopaths, which chose to project that on to complete strangers? We all end up with a society governed by self-aggrandizement. These people chose to judge others by their own twisted point of view; furthering the erosion of our entire social fabric.
This is how so many are easily influenced into unethical harassment towards a targeted individual. This is how workplace mobbing, gang stalking and community stalking are embedded into society.
It’s time for change. People’s lives are being destroyed by the judgment of a few, which project that judgement on others. Gang Stalking, Community Stalking and Workplace Mobbing are real. Help me break this cycle of unethical harassment; expose those that participate in these acts. Help me change this dark future being imposed on our children.

From brown to green
Chameleon changes his colour
To suit the cause
To embrace the rainbow nation
He can fit in with all
After segregation
After hibernation
Chameleon walks free
Down the roads
Up the hills
In between robots
Chameleon walks free
The wind howls furiously
Gusts blows him away
Papers fly across the streets
And chameleon walks free
Returning home
To the planks of dirt
Cockroaches observe him with haunted eyes
Chameleon changes colour
Chameleon is free!

"Once you choose hope, anything's possible." ~ Christopher D'Olier Reeve. Repainted by artist Noel Cruz.
2022 marks 40 years since the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation and its predecessor organization began funding research. It’s a moment in time to reflect on the many people whose passion, like Christopher’s, inspire our mission, Today’s Care. Tomorrow’s Cure. Their belief in the Foundation’s work has made 40 years of progress possible. Today, with our Reeve torch ablaze, we carry forward the flame of passion that is catapulting us toward long-awaited cures.

Two Tree (or not two tree)
A very nice tree, near my home. I can't take any nice ones of it anymore though. The skyline is currently a vast construction site, and in a while a new neighborhood :(.

Dawn arrives, and the warm tones of day begin pushing out the cold blues of night at Oxbow Bend in the Grand Tetons, Wyoming.
My original plan was to chill in Dalton for an hour or two & see whatever comes through as a side trip on the way home from Chattanooga that morning. I pulled into the parking lot by the depot when my friend Brad shared an update that 27W was east of Tallapoosa, GA with EMDX Yellow Slug 7208 in the lead. With that news, I immediately left & started booking it down I-75 towards Atlanta to try & beat it. Thankfully for me, the dispatcher put them in the hole at Temple to let two westbounds through, buying me enough time to get to Austell as he was again going into the hole at Lithia Springs for about 20 minutes to allow the higher priority 226 to slip by them. Upon determining not to try either Austell or Mableton, I went to Bridge since I knew I could get them from either side of the crossing there depending on where the sun was. It just so happened that G98, which is normally G78, was going into the lead for Argos USA right as I got there. I set up to get a few shots of them while I waited for 27W when next thing I know, 27W calls Bridge, allowing me to catch a rather eco-friendly meet as the ECO-set powering G98 was passed by the tier 4 demonstrator unit. The moral of this story... it pays to be at the right place at the right time. 7-10-20
Yes, I realise this topic has already been talked over many times on our humble photo gallery. This time however, we have another big developement in front of us.
The famous Polish ban on photography had not really been in power, no matter what any person said. You were fully permitted to photograph anything you want, as long as you were on public grounds, which is a reasonable idea. All is to change now though.
My first post in this "no photo" topic has been published on 6.02.2024, when the Polish Ministry of National Defence published a draft of the ordinance containing the description of a "Photography forbidden" sign, along with many other things. This ordinance is what is required for the photo ban to be implemented in practice, as per a law published all the way back in 2022. The draft remained all that, just a draft, up until... this very day, 3.04.2025. It is now a full-blown ordinance of the allmighty Minister himself.
The published version can be seen on the official government service Dziennik Ustaw - dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU
The ordinance itself, numbered 432 can be seen here - dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU/2025/432 - contains a PDF file with the ordinance and a graphical display of the sign.
From now on, any person responsible for the security of an object of critical infrastructure (whatever that means...) will be able to hang out these legal signs and there is nothing the poor citizen can do about this, even when standing on public grounds.
*The ordinance comes into effect 14 days after its publishing, you have time until the 17th of April. For real now.*
