Мы постепенно двигались в сторону основной точки съемки, до рассвета оставался примерно час. Туман продолжал сгущаться и на сильном морозе мы целиком покрылись инеем. Ярко светила полная луна, на рассвете она стала оранжевой. Все это создавало отличные условия для съемки. Времени было полно и мы особо не торопились, фотографировали всякое. Это один из таких снимков, ничего особенного, просто туманный рассвет.
We gradually moved towards the main shooting point, about an hour remained until dawn. The fog continued to thicken and in the bitter cold we were completely covered with frost. The full moon shone brightly, turning orange at dawn. All this created excellent conditions for shooting. There was plenty of time and we were not particularly in a hurry, taking pictures of everything. This is one of those shots, nothing special, just a hazy sunrise.
The Tonnara di Scopello dates back to 1200 and is one of the oldest in Sicily. The activity continued until 1984 and every year, on average, about 500 tuna were caught.
The tonnara rises in a magical inlet, framed by steep cliffs and bathed by clear waters. The stacks emerge from the sea a few meters from the shore and make this small gulf even more fascinating.
The tonnara is located in Sicily, in the western part, in the locality of Scopello.
Scopello is a small fraction of the Municipality of Castellammare del Golfo, in the province of Trapani, which has about 400 inhabitants.

La Tonnara di Scopello risale al 1200 ed è una delle più antiche di Sicilia. L’attività è proseguita fino al 1984 e ogni anno, in media, venivano catturati circa 500 tonni.
La tonnara sorge in un’insenatura magica, incorniciata da ripide scogliere e bagnata da acque limpide. I faraglioni sbucano dal mare a pochi metri da riva e rendono ancora più affascinante questo piccolo golfo.
La tonnara si trova in Sicilia, nella parte occidentale, in località Scopello.
Scopello è una piccola frazione del Comune di Castellammare del Golfo, in provincia di Trapani, che conta circa 400 abitanti.
This will be my last posting. I will be away for most of the summer but I will continue to fave and make comments whenever I can. I wish everyone a safe and happy summer!:-)
Continuing on my clean up of the most recent images, still shooting and still staying safe.
Thank you for visiting and for all the very kind words, very much appreciated.
Shot at Courtenay BC. Vancouver Island. At first glance this mountain looks beautiful. but look closer and you see the scars of clear cutting that the logging companies have unfortunately been allowed to continue with.
I continue searching and searching for another soul, someone wrote a note that gave me hope, there must be a way to find that person. Now after days of searching I found this door, with another note written on it. Could this be the same person trying to warn me about someone, or something that lives here? What could be inside here that made someone go to the lengths they did to keep it there? Why does it say don't go out when it seems like the real threat is inside?

Some golden coloured Toronto cityscapes through the TS vision :-)
As I sit and think about the days,
I dream about a place far away.
I let the sun warm my soul
And ponder the place I'd like to go.
I let the wild winds play with my hair.
I let my spirit free to go where no one else dares.
Over the still waters of sacrifice and belief.
Over the dry lands I have recovered from any grief.
My heart is content and full;
I will allow myself to sit and tarry while these dreams I hold and continue to carry.
Sometimes, daydreaming is all a person can do when you discover something so sweet and new. Life is a fine work of art and a gift. I'll linger here a little longer and daydream.Thank you all for your continued support, kind favs, and lovely comments. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Green Grass Dart (Ocybadistes walkeri)
These two were busy doing their bit to continue the species yesterday.
One last look at this mystery before moving on to other content. I like this perspective as it shows the building with the vast open fields surrounding it. The branches from the tree also add an interesting touch!
The debate of whether this was a school or a house seems to be 50/50 based on your comments. I'd like to think that potentially it was both. I'll continue to try and find an answer but my research has yielded few results.
Let me know which angle is your favorite!

Continuing my theme of reflections taken on my tour of Skye and the Highlands region this image just had everything. The clouds, boat, trees, the mountains and the small reeds in the foreground just made it, in my mind, complete.

Continuing from this post . The ladybugs left without finishing the job. The plant then got a really bad infestation about two weeks after they left.
I then bought a pack of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri. They are called “mealybug destroyer” for a reason. They immediately started to feast on the pest bugs, wiping the population very quickly.
Here you can see a Cryptolaemus bug chasing a mealybug (the white little one on the leaf border). Plenty to choose from, though.
To be continued, again.
In Explore.
This series of photos continues to show my fascination with misty scenes, all four were taken the same morning, but of disparate landscapes.
In this fourth and last image, even though the sun has been up for hours, it has only just cleared the mountain opposite and is finally burning off the last of the mist at Talybont Reservoir, the lake itself is still in shadow.
The distance traveled by car from the first to last shot is about 13 miles (although they are all much, much closer as the crow flies) and took 86 minutes, you just have to love the Brecon Beacons!
04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.
Autumn Continues, although when I finally got out yesterday, I saw that the trees weren't nearly as full as they were last week

I went back to visit the wasps nest five days later to see how the larvae were progressing. They became very protective this time. I made two photos and left them alone. The larvae have progressed tremendously.
* To continue our globetrotting we now arrive in the Lofoten Islands in Norway.
The drive through the Lofoten Islands from Solvar to Reine was full of interest. Lots of beautiful places to stop off at though time as ever was limited. I thought the little settlement of Hamnoy looked particularly attractive I could have done with more time to explore it properly. This is a view of the harbour of the village .
I must say that while Highland Scotland was stunning I still think the Lofoten Islands in Arctic Norway are the most beautiful place I have visited in Europe . Scotland does have one or two advantages though, its a lot closer and much cheaper to have a holiday in
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
Continuing with my Positive Flags of Nations project.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Continued from yesterday. Mamma RSH with her young--a tight crop. This was right after the two parents watched me from across the river. Another few moments, she'll leap out of the tree and fly above me. I think she knew I was Camera Guy--I doubt any of the tent dwellers have a camera like mine--or at all. They do have their supply of needles, though . . .
The Nikon D7100 and the 200-500mm lens produce fine results. This is a rather tight crop, and it still came out just as well as if it weren't cropped at all, even in large view. I'll have the less cropped version of this and another in the distant future, more of Mamma here in the near future.
Thanks for Viewing.
I just wanted to thank all of you who continue to show me so much support. Especially those of you who's support has never changed even after my long absence from Flickr. I have made plenty of great friends and new friends on Flickr; I am looking forward to continuing those friendships. In the words of my good friend PetrosD, "For when we lie dying my friend we will not remember the beautiful photos we took, nor the charming models or how many photos we got into flickr explore. But i think we will reflect with happiness upon moments of friendship!" I've said this before and I mean it everytime I say it, You All Inspire Me! Thank You!

Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city isJayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Map of Central Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.

I end the year with a black and white image as a respect for all those people who are no longer due to the scourge of this 2020, and all those who have gone through it and are having a hard time.
I humbly wish that the year 2021 may leave us space to relax at some point, and that we may keep close to us all those people who bring us good things.
I wish the best of lights to all the photography lovers that we show in spaces like this our mutual respect and our widest tolerance, and that we continue sharing the world within our images.
Riding on some fast-moving water sports crafts is an exciting and thrilling experience. So, from early morning up and until late afternoon on Christmas Day, a number of guests at a popular beach resort, singly or in group, take a ride on jet skis and banana boats for an hour around a large area in Subic Bay designated by the resort's management as safe for such activities.
