There’s something magical about sunsets—the way they paint the sky with hues of gold, crimson, and indigo, turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Just Above Ceiling Height
Looking barely down on a ceiling holding lamps in suspension is a perspective that gives a different view. Closing time leaves mostly darkness but they hadn't turned out these lights. The array forms a pattern that joins a ceiling sporting patterns of its own. Splashes of light illuminate just enough to show off details. Spots of other colors offer punctuation - a bit of added interest.
It's a diptych in appearance, even though it's been done in a single frame - either side could stand alone.

There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them

When the museum architecture is as inspiring as this, what’s exhibited has to be grand. The Joslyn did not disappoint. Omaha, Nebraska. Sister is on 49/50 states before the 31st anniversary of her 29th birthday in June ‘26.
Took a quick snowshoeing trip overlooking Donner Lake last Friday. I shot these few snaps at the top up by the old train trestles. It was a perfect afternoon and I'm ready to hit the fresh mountain snow again after the next storm.

Taken during that magic hour after the sun has set ... a lonely sentinel standing guard as one last figure walks the beach. *happy sigh* wishing I was there ... wishing that was me!
Cheers to your Tuesday!

Down to earth then sinks the sun ♫
I can't end beach week without a beach fence!! If you look closely, you will find the fisherman!!
Happy Fence Friday & TGIF!
Back in 2018, it was my 1st time visiting the beautiful town of Baler and I got to capture this special view.
He was so happy to see the sunrise! It has been a very long time since I photographed Plankton! He was very miffed and uncooperative, but finally I got him to oblige. Even toys can't resist a good sunrise over the lake!
It has also been a long time since I posted a Toy on Thursday! *gasp* In fact ... the last time I posted was way back in January, and ... incidentally, that one was taken in Chicago too!
Happy Toy-in-the-Frame Thursday!!
I uploaded this to Flickr awhile ago but never posted it! Even now, when I walk about, it still looks like autumn around here. It is so ridiculously warm today (81°). I feel like I'm on another planet.
Sorry in advance to all you folk who suffered through the polar vortex. I really am envious of the snowy photos .... but not the bitter cold temps! Still no snow in the mountains around here. Never did get to take Sammy out sledding :(
Hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday!
Van Ness and CA
Timeless cablecars plow the streets of San Francisco collecting time and memories along the way. A collage of parts join to tell a story of passing moments.

Morning light at Serón
[This is a series of photos that I took while backpacking Torres del Paine. I tried to take as many photos as possible, but it rained so much more than I had ever anticipated, so it was not possible. Itt was extremely windy, so a combination of both rain and wind made it difficult to shoot while actually hiking.]
I did not know if the wooden wagon was even in use. It was there when I arrived there from Central for the first time, and even later when I returned from Dickson after failing to go over the pass due to waist deep snow, it was still there. Well, I definitely didn’t see a single horse or a cow there.
My mind was racing. I had to compose a shot before the light faded. And the wagon had to be part of it. While completely mesmerized by the color palettes that unfolding before my eyes, I had to make sure that the shot was worth composing.
I snapped a shot, but I wasn’t sure.
And took another.
And that was it. I was already looking for the next subject that I could place in the foreground.
I did minimal sliding here {sharpening & levels in Snapseed}, nature slid it way more impressively than I ever could!! I polled the family for a one word description. Examples were surreal, otherworldly and Daliesque. That last word seemed to cover it best!
This is an unusual shot because of the pool of water fronting the sea. A sand replenishment operation has reshaped the beach carrying the sand down the shoreline with the in and outgoing tides. The pool of water is one result ... displaying some spectacular reflections!!!! I have had no opportunity to check out the Nikon shots ... so I give you the iPhone shot!!
I'm taking Jack back to school this morning ... will be back to check out all your sliders this evening!! Happy Sliders Sunday Folks! Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
This is another long exposure shot of the potholes in La Jolla. The raw image was very dark. I slid some light in and discovered pastel color lurking.
Happy Sliders Sunday!! Are you ready to do the 12 Days of Christmas countdown?
Without rain nothing grows, learn to embrace the storm of your life.
"This is my wish for you: comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunset to warm your heart, hugs when spirit sags, beauty for your eyes to see, friendship to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
My friend Larry launched a new group: "The Human Element"
Recently, we had a long discussion around the idea that 'some photos just wouldn't be the same without the unique visual characteristics of the human form.' Please join his group and add your 'human element' image. We'd love it if you shared with us!
Last week, I drove to the lake to catch a sunrise. It was a beautiful sunrise. When this gentleman strolled into my frame with his long shadow, it transformed the image for me. It was boring without the 'human element.' I was saving this for a future Fence Friday but decided that this would be my first entry for the new group. And of course, it is also Wednesday, so ...
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

SANCTUARY
With the onset of the winter season the sports anglers change focus to lower Fraser tributaries like the Vedder/Chilliwack river to search for the prized winter steelhead. For many anglers, catching a steelhead is an ultimate dream, wether catching it on a fly, bait casting, spinner or centerpin is an incredible experience. These fish are classic and highly respected throughout the sport, It is the hardest fish to catch in the world, fishing or steelhead is not for everyone. You have to brave the cold and damp winter weather, spending hours in the cold, chilly weather, you have to wear layers to beat the freezing temperature, Steelhead fishing is not best-known as quantity fishery but it is absolutely renowned as a `must-try`one. I dedicate this to the strong willed sports anglers of the river of BC.
A day at the river with my fishing buddies & fellow photographers, thanks for a great day at the river,

"Golden hour magic meets timeless engineering. Caught this windmill standing proud against a fiery sky, with silhouettes adding just the right touch of story and scale. Sometimes, the best moments are the quiet ones we almost miss."

Let's walk through the fire together
Disappear in the golden sands
I like that particular bit of lyric ... seems to be at odds with this image doesn't it?
I dream of snow ... yet I also dream of golden sands ...
I'm quite sure this song is the telling of a tragic love story ...
but I like it anyway and I'm going with it.
Today is holiday recovery ... tomorrow back to work.
It went so fast ...
Pebble beach at Dickson
[This is a series of photos that I took while backpacking Torres del Paine. I tried to take as many photos as possible, but it rained so much more than I had ever anticipated, so it was not possible. It was extremely windy, so a combination of both rain and wind made it difficult to shoot while actually hiking.]
This is one of the small amount of photos that I managed to take on this trip. It is unfortunate that it rained so much while I was there. Guess it is one more reason to go back to Patagonia.
This was taken at the pebble beach at Dickson where icebergs were afloat. Although I thought I seized the moment when the rain stopped, as soon as I got out there and started taking pictures, the raindrops began falling on me again. Let me remind you that the winds never stopped blowing as well. Eventually the combination of rain and winds forced to withdraw from the beach.
The sun shone spottidly in a corner of the pale sky but never persisted, mostly blotted out by the grey blanket of clouds. In the company of rain, the clouds hardly gave way to the blue skies. In spite of long hours of daylight, the rain never permitted me to take shots for the rest of the day.
A line of monks leads to the main subject bathed in soft light. Focus directs - patterns and repetition add strength. But it is his eyes that draw mine and hold.
