Or cultural meeting point. Sarajevo is a beautful town in which the architecture style changes drastically from one corner to the next. In this photo there is a part of the Old Orthodox Church, and a builiding on a main boulevard dating from the times of the Austro-Hungarian occupation.
Fall Webworm Moth caterpillar, Hyphantria cunea, wins a game of chicken with a larger caterpillar, species unknown. I saw them on a collision course, was really surprised that the big guy dived over the side of the boardwalk handrail. Eventually they passed and continued on their way.
Happy Twofer Tuesday!

SRC 89 comes through the fields near The Red Caboose Motel on the way back to East Strasburg station on a Santa run.
Clash of birches, in snowfall.
I left a bit of colour, thought it worked well here. Thanks for taking your time and have a nice evening folks.
I don't read a lot of fiction so for this weeks Macro Mondays theme "My Favourite Novel (Fiction)" I chose to google a fictional novel to represent and came upon "A Clash of Kings".
This was going to be a fairly easy one to represent as I could either have used a chess board or a pack of playing cards.
I chose the chess board and after first focussing on my ruler to frame for the 3 inch rule I then set up the board and then positioned my tripod so that the kings were in focus.
I used some of my sons Play-Doh to make the kings lean toward each other and then angled the camera for a slightly more dynamic view.
I shot the same composition at a series of different aperture settings and chose f/8 as it had the effect I Ilked the most.
I have included a link to a Wikipedia page about the book below.
The Kars Fortress lies near the present day Turkish-Armenian border in a region where the great historical empires of Persia, Ottoman Turkey and Russia intersected. This rocky hillside was first fortified by the Armenians in the 9th century and changed hands many times. It was destroyed and rebuilt in a series of bloody wars and sieges between the Persians, Byzantines and Mongols and the Russians. Even the British were involved in the defence of the fortress during the Crimean War and again with the Allies in WWI.

Sedona is in the transition between autumn and winter during this time of year and the weather system that rolled through over the last couple of days reminded us of that! In this scene an unusually late and colorful autumn display nicely contrasts with the results of an unusually early brush with winter.
For two hours I stood transfixed by dancing clouds as they drifted in and out of these colossal fir trees near Mt Robson, BC.
I don't know about you, but I get a huge kick out of capturing bonus images that I never intended or expected to find.
It's even better when those bonus shots turn out to be way better than the one you're standing around waiting for.
It just goes to show that it pays to have that second camera and ideally a big old telephoto lens.
At 274mm, I had to switch on the optical stabilization of the lens to minimize the camera shake. To free up the shutter button, I used back button auto focus which was assigned to a big button on the back of the camera that I could control with my thumb.
I find it really useful to save these types of camera settings to a C3 custom setting dial on the camera. I can then instantly recall these lesser used settings with the turn of a dial giving me more time to capture the moment and less time faffing around with camera settings.
Thanks for looking

Still weird to see Macs on Metra. Here we see a UP line train crossing over the Milwaukee Road In downtown Chicago
ExPLoReD! No 68 on 12th April 2015. Thanks very much for all your faves and comments.
I'm guessing they painted the front door when the rose wasn't in flower, otherwise they just might have thought about the colour!

A sea of colorful night-market tents in an ocean of grey concrete. That's Bangkok in 2020 for you! Well... one aspect of it. There is quite a bit more to this city. Not all pleasant though. But always exciting. And if you wait until dusk for the lights to turn on, it might actually look quite beautiful.

It’s been 1 1/2 years since I’ve been to Iceland but I still have images left that I want to publish. This picture of a block of ice washed ashore on the black beach at the Jökulsarlon glacier lagoon is one of them. Our visit at Jökulsarlon was probably the most memorable location of our whole trip and I keep coming back to the hundreds of pictures I took during that night. Here I really like how the different classical elements – air, water, earth and even fire (in the sky) – all come together.
