August has been going by so quickly for me - my day job continues to be busy, and the Great Salt Lake continues to be covered with smoke from massive fires burning in California and Oregon.
This shot is from July before the wildfire smoke - my heart goes out to all those who are have been impacted by those fires.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
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.
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!:-)
COVID numbers are continuing to rise around the world. So many people are in lockdown and not able to get out, many have been sick and have had loved ones die, and so many, including me, who haven't been able to hug their families since the beginning of this pandemic. And we have no idea when the end is in sight, or if things will ever get back to "normal."
When I saw this little vine wrapped around a post in a nearby garden, I thought of how much all of us need a hug right about now. So I'm sending out a virtual hug to all of you.
Here's a song from one of my favourite bands, Walk of the Earth, that I think might give you a smile:
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?

Continuing down the county road in Texas Hill Country. First it was the cow going the opposite way, now I just stopped the car and watched as the donkey just kept walking closer and closer to me while I watched with amusement. Good think I wasn't in a hurry, lol. All in a day driving the back roads and looking for the spring wildflowers.
Continuing my series on Kawhia..........
My appreciation and thanks to all of you for your comments awards and faves.
To be continued... (maybe :P)

Some golden coloured Toronto cityscapes through the TS vision :-)
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.

Bald Eagles are hearty birds that stay in Northern Michigan throughout the year, even the cold winter months. I found this gal on a field near a small country road. She and her smaller mate (male eagles are smaller than females) were near a deer carcass on a cold winter day. The five degree Fahrenheit wind is blowing at her back, hence the ruffled head feathers.
Winter birding continues.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Autumn Continues, although when I finally got out yesterday, I saw that the trees weren't nearly as full as they were last week

Some say the age of miracles hath fled,
But surely it continues now and here.
How else could such magnificence appeal
From those brown lumps that seemed so dull and dead?
Is not this flower a miracle of red,
And this of pink, and this of yellow clear,
And this of white that hath no cause to fear
The whitest cloud that wanders overhead?
Yellow and pink and scarlet all ablaze!
Surely this splendour is of God's design,
Who would not have us cheerlessly repine
Over the drab of ordinary days,
But gives us colour, which no less than wine
Gladdens our spirits. Unto Him be praise!
An anti-lock braking system, is a safety system on motor vehicles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking.
A rotating road wheel allows the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking, by preventing a locked wheel or skid, and allowing the wheel to continue to forward roll and create lateral control, as directed by driver steering inputs. Disadvantages of the system include increased braking distances under some limited circumstances (ice, snow, gravel, steel bridges, anything other than dry tarmac) and the creation of a "false sense of security" among drivers who do not understand the operation, and limitations of ABS.
Russia continues to attack independent Ukraine. He drops banned phosphorus bombs on cities. Women and children are leaving their homeland en masse. The world stands in solidarity with Ukraine. And Russia, rushing in its madness, lies to its citizens, sends its soldiers to a real war and is ready to start World War III.
Россия продолжает нападать на независимую Украину. Он сбрасывает на города запрещенные фосфорные бомбы. Женщины и дети массово покидают родину. Мир солидарен с Украиной. А Россия, мечущаяся в своем безумии, лжет своим гражданам, отправляет своих солдат на настоящую войну и готова начать Третью мировую войну.
We stopped again at the abandoned Waterpark near Barstow, California. We stopped here last year. This time we met the new owner. Much of the park has been destroyed and the rest is destined for renovation of sorts. The plan is to turn the area into a racetrack. A small portion of the original waterpark will continue be used for graffiti contests.
Happy Sun Ray Sunday!

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.

Landscape Week Continues! While admittedly breaking textbook composition rules, I believe there are times when the photo's elements dictate doing so. And in this shot, I love the way the vertical & horizontal elements all come together near the horizon to pull you along the waving fence line.

Continuing on the theme of one sparrow a day this week, here is a beautiful Chipping Sparrow spotted near Nutter's Battery, Central Park, New York. They are now coming in increasing numbers...
Pictured above are the remains of an abandoned school house in Elmira, Illinois. Elmira is an unincorporated community located in Stark County, and is approximately 40 miles NNW of Peoria.
The school opened in 1902 and until 1915 held high school classes. The school continued serving elementary students until it closed in 1952.
The heatwave continues. Fynn appeared from his hideout behind the garden shed where he had taken a nap among the tomatoes and checked the conditions. He is usually a cat who makes the best of all kinds of weather but he has definitely too much fur for this year's summer. At least the tomato plants are happy with the dry weather as it looks as if we'll have a splendid harvest.
While many other places in the northern hemisphere are showing signs of warming weather, we continue to demonstrate why it is not the weather that drew us here. No, ironically we came for the jobs.
Framed in my last picture, this shows the trail continuing, hugging the lakeshore. If you look closely you can see a man and his dog.

As almost every day at a place like this, it pays to wake early before sunrise and find a spot to enjoy the start of a new day ... #etbtsy

Another winter storm will hit us tonight and Wednesday. I enjoy winter but continue to dream of spring while sipping a cup of hot chocolate.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and comment! I really appreciate it!
Continuing with the Grebe shots. This one seems to hanging out its wings to dry.
Thanks to all who view/comment on my images much appreciated :)
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.
Continuing with the C-O-L-D theme...
This image was captured within minutes of yesterday violet-hued picture featuring the 'icebergs'. You can see the same-colored sky here.
At -10 below zero, the water near the shore has frozen and that is the blue and white ice here in the foreground. The darker blue on the horizon are the large waves rolling in the open water.
Fortunately the temperatures have moderated in the last few days and we feel warm at 25 f. :)
Enjoy the cold with me here!
The heat continues and I think the insects love the nectar a bit extra right now.
This little bumble-bee clearly had a good source of food. With the pretty little brown eyes on me and the other half on the flower, it got out happy and satisfied.
Remember the importance of these and think of them as vital for our existence. Through my photography I have got to see them with my inner eyes and what would Summer be without the constant buzzing anyway?
Have a lovely and relaxing Friday night!
