This Picture is part of my contribution for Relay For Life of Second Life Attention Magazine's June 22 Issue. The entire Magazine is coming up in purple, it is an issue dedicated to cancer awareness.
I am sharing these pictures with you all because I think it is so important to spread awareness around cancer. It can affect anyone, and most of us will in some way in our lives be affected or touched by it, either we ourselves could become a victim of it, someone we know, or someone dear and close to us. But also because there is hope in the darkest of times.

"Bright Lights"
HAEVN
Your words are high and running through a tired mind
A howling wind surrounds you
I'm trying to illuminate a clouded heart
I'm gonna find the strength to stay
Feel we're gonna break out
At the last step now
Feel we're gonna break out
I really wanna see your face, and I see
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me home
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me home
Your hands are high and floating through a darkened sky
So many eyes around you
The distant sounds as neon sparks light up my heart
I'm gonna find a brighter day
Feel we're gonna break out
I really wanna see your face, and I see
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me home
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me home
You shut your heart and shut my door
You shut your heart
When I say hold me, when I say hold me, when I see
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me home
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me
Bright, bright lights, bright lights to guide me home
Bright lights to guide me
Bright lights to guide me
Bright lights to guide me
Bright lights to guide me home

This Picture is part of my contribution for Relay For Life of Second Life Attention Magazine's June 22 Issue. The entire Magazine is coming up in purple, it is an issue dedicated to cancer awareness, and staying hopeful that even in the darkest of times, there is hope and better days ahead.
Relay For Life of Second Life Attention Magazine's June 22 Issue
I know may of you have in some way or the other felt Cancer close up, either had Cancer your self or know of somebody who is or has been fighting the battle of cancer. Even though some dont make it trough the battle, we must always remain hopeful that there is hope. That is why we have to keep up the work in finding ways to fight this disease, by awareness and research that can help fight the disease.
I am crying as I write this, because I am thinking of those I have lost in my RL as well as in SL. But I know that those I have lost would want me to stay positive and hopeful, and to love and live my life to the fullest each day, because we never know what tomorrow brings. I also want to dedicate this picture in memory of our dearest Beautiful Angel Amber who lost the fight against Cancer, she was the most positive, loving, caring and most uplifting person I have ever met in the virtual world of Second life, She will always be missed and never be forgotten, she will always be in our hearts, as well as to my dear Uncle who also passed away too soon, due to Cancer.
"Better Days"
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
But if you're feeling lost in the night
It's okay to cry
Just as long as you hold your head
'Cause we're on our way to better
Better's ahead, better's ahead
It get's worse 'fore it gets better
But better's ahead, better's ahead
Better days are comin' (Better and better and better, ooh-ooh)
Better days are comin' (Ooh-ooh, better days)
Better days, better days (Better and better and better, oh-ooh)
Better days are comin' (Better days, better days)
I know you've been kicked down
Slept on, let down, faith gone
Waited for too long for something to lean on (Lean on)
You feel weak, just be strong (Ooh)
Deep breath, stay calm
If you just press on, press on, press on
You gon' see there's a light at the end of the tunnel (At the end of the tunnel)
Keep your eyes on the road ahead (On the road ahead)
And if you're feelin' lost in the night (Lost in the night)
It's okay to cry (It's okay to cry)
Just as long as you hold your head
'Cause we're on our way to better (Aah)
Better's ahead, (Better) better's ahead (Aah)
It get's worse 'fore it gets better (Ah-ah-ah)
But better's ahead, better's ahead
Better days are comin' (Better and better and better, ooh-ooh, I know, I know)
Better days are comin' (Ooh-ooh)
(Better days, better days) (Better and better and better, ooh-ooh)
Better days are comin' (Ooh-ooh)
(Better days, better days)
I know you feel left out and stepped on
Keep goin', keep goin'
Shine bright, don't dim yours for no one
Keep goin' higher, and higher and higher and higher
(Because there's better)
Better days, better days are comin' (Better days)
Better days, better days (On their way) are comin' ('Cause I know)
Better days, better days (Better days) are comin' (Yeah)
Better days, (Oh) better days are comin' (I know)
Better days are comin'

My contribution for this weeks #sundayslider. Early morning view of Lake Leelanau in Michigan with the most wonderful reeds poking through the misty waters. #hss #sundaysliders
This is my contribution to demonstrating against any kind of censoring art.
Originally it had "censored" writen on it, but I like it better this way.
No rubber ducks were harmed in the making of this picture and .. uhm well, the squid was deep-frozen when I bought it.
The Flickr community really shows its capability of protesting in creative ways. Thanks everyone for supporting this!
My contribution to Photo Sunday's theme circle. A slice of strawberry pressed on a window.

My humble contribution for the "The Journey" Exhibition currently in the Galerie des Beaux-Arts
You have to visit and contemplate the art pieces made by a group of very talented Photographers/Artists.
We all live in a world, where life is treated as a race and not as a journey.
LIFE IS NOT A RACE
Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.
Life is a journey to be savoured each step of the way
This is one of my favourite hybrid tea roses from the Roxborough Park Rose Gardens at Baulkham Hills in north-western Sydney. I photographed this rose with my Canon 60D and a Canon 100mm macro lens, and I have now re-edited it more than three times!! I keep applying different filters, effects and frames.
But anyway, this is my contribution to Thursday, 16th July, 2020.
Note: The map keeps saying 'Castle Hill' but in fact it is in Baulkham Hills, Sydney.
My contribution to an overly common theme :)
Hope you like my version!

My contribution to Photo Sunday's theme light.
A lovely chilly day with sunshine, frost on the ground and nice air to breathe.
My contribution to Photo Sunday with the theme of prints.
I think the tree's image against the sky fits the theme.
Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag med temat avtryck.
Trädets avbildning mot himlen tycker jag passar till temat.
My contribution to Photo Sunday with the theme heart matter. When I inhale the fragrance of the flowers, my heart and mind lift to greater heights.

Fall brings us amazing red, green, yellow colours. Close to my house there is a spot full of colourful leaves where all the little snails and lady bugs are hiding for winter. My contribution for "Fall photography" in Photosunday.
Hösten ger oss dessa fantastiska nyanser av rött, grönt och gult. Nära mitt hem hittade jag färggranna buskar som har både nyckelpigor och sniglar som verkar vila där under den kalla perioden. Mitt bidrag till "höstfoto - Fotosöndag."
macro mondays contribution.
One of quite a few taken for this week's theme so still trying to decide, it will be one of those occasions I decide on the bus in to work!
Done!!
I keep reliving MM challenges, this week sweet spot and inspired by a song!
contribution to MM challenge for 12/10/20, theme: Translucent
a long over due return to what I like photographing most. really really need to shoot more
Macro Mondays contribution 03/07/17; theme "Relaxation"
What better way to relax than with a drink, preferably a cold one given that it's summertime in the UK and, unusually, it has been hot!
I'm leaving the (liquid) contents of the glass deliberately ambiguous so that you can decide for yourself!!
HMM!
My contribution to Colorful Nature with the theme orange or yellow Thursday
The triangular thing in the middle is the pistil and the stamens are the small pin-like heads.
Contribution to MM challenge for 4/3/18, theme "Jewelry".
Slightly tricky challenge due to the number of times I've used jewellery in the past, not least as my Flickr avatar, but not helped by the fact my partner and I are living 200 miles apart at the moment so I can't raid her jewellery!! And I've already used my mother's wedding ring
This is all mine though and is one of those things that is never taken off. The star I bought on a school trip to France in the early 80s and the necklace it's attached to my sister bought me for my 18th. It's a while now to be wearing the same 2 chunks of metal around my neck!!
Our contribution to this weeks Macro Mondays: Member's Choice - Musical Instruments. Enjoy it and HMM to everybody.
Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend.
Have a nice Holiday.
contribution to Macro Mondays group for 23 Jan 2017 - "It's A-Peeling To Me"
Partially inspired by the cover art for the debut album by Velvet Underground & Nico.
contribution to MM challenge for 13/7/20, theme: Spiral
Quite possibly not technically spirals - but they might be!
Here is my first contribution to last nights total eclipse of the moon.
I headed to the mountens for this event. Not because it is needed to capture the eclipse itself, but to attempt torecord the Milky Way during totality.
In Switzerland the moon was already in its totality phase when it rose. Unfortuately this meant that totality was over 10 minutes before the beginning of astronomical dusk. I therefore was not sure if I would be successful.
Do you think I got my Milk? Stay tuned...
Contribution to MM challenge for 11/2/18, theme Holes
My first though when I read the challenge was of picture I took some time ago, I think for a different challenge. I laughed when I saw said picture included in the gallery of examples!
I went through a hole host of ideas for this challenge but was pushed for time so settled for the kitchen table with food. A hole lot easier than what I had planned for the bath
contribution to MM challenge for 3/2/20 - theme: "The Odd One"
The subject matter doesn't (or shouldn't!) need any explanation other than these are some of my partner's hobby tools.
The title is a direct take from the 70s sitcom featuring one of the best characters of all time - Arnold. That said I have no idea if it has stood the test of time, but he certainly was an odd one!
Contributions to Islamic art found in the Sheikh Zayed Mosque include the art of using colors to create original artistic forms. The colors of the walls, columns and the carpet are harmonized together transforming the entire Mosque into an artistic masterpiece and a symphony of colors and shades.
Contribution to MM challenge for 24/8/20, theme "Glass"
Well it's not an original idea but once I'd taken it I kind of fell in love with the imperfections in the glass even though my original plan was to eliminate them! They were lost for some time and I'm still not sure I've recovered them...
Just in case you're wondering it's shot in a puddle of water on a tin foil "bowl" in direct sunlight!
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Kruisplein, Mauritsplaats, Calypso, Calypso falls (slightly cut)
Shown here is the back façade of Calypso with "Calypso Falls" (2018) by Monique Benthin & Rick Messemaker. It is a rendering of the Seljalandsfoss in Iceland. ".....and was created by the Calypso Falls initiative group, consisting of residents of the Mauritsplaats, the Rotterdamse Schouwburg, Ondernemingsvereniging Schouwburgplein and the United Schouwburgplein Association. The project was realized with contributions from BKOR and Rotterdam Make It Happen, and carried out by Mothership." Source: Calypso-falls.
Calypso is a building complex with 407 up- market apartments, seven parking floors, offices, commercial spaces and the 'Paulus kerk'. It was designed by London architect William Alsop and Van der Laan Bouma Architekten. On the site once was a cinema with the same name.
This is number 602 of Rotterdam architecture.
MM contribution for 25/3/18, theme: "Hot or Cold"
Again I'm not a massive fan of themes with such a large scope as I find them difficult to narrow down. In fact talking to my partner about what I was doing she came with with about another 20 suggestions!!
What this did give me though was the opportunity to try out quite a few things. I fell foul of living at both ends of the country again because my zippo isn't 'here'!
So to catch a match just as it catches. Easy (really???). And I didn't even get through a whole box! Apparently they burn at around 800c - I think that qualifies as hot?!. And have a light temp of around 1500K which leads on to...
...strobist bit: 1 SB900 set to manual at 1/20, positioned to the left and firing toward the background. Using dark amber gel with WB set to tungston.
contribution to Macro Mondays theme for 24/04/17 of "intentional blur"
the effect here is created with flash (slow rear sync for anyone interested and it was entirely experimental on my part!). ironically the shutter speed used is faster than most of my other contributions to the MM group!
OK, here's my contribution to the recent stream of fuzzy fledgling Owl postings.
I first encountered nesting Great Horned Owls in this open space eight or ten years ago and it's been a constant producer of adult and fledglings. A few weeks ago I finally found the elusive nest. I tried to get images of the chicks in the nest, but only got a few low quality images in fading light. I returned the other day and found the nest empty. After searching for half an hour I heard a fledgling call out and was able to locate this one...again the light was failing but I was able to get a few shots before dark.
Nikon D500, Nikon 200-500mm f5.6E @500mm
ISO 3200 f5.6 1/60s
contribution to Macro Mondays group for 26/06/17 the theme being "Broken"
I'm away for a few days so may not see many contributions so HMM to one and all!!
I found this challenge hard, not because I couldn't think what to do but because the choice was too big and I think I've ended up being a bit cliche.
Macro Mondays contribution for 24 October 2016:
Swarowski Crystal Pig. The title means something in that "he" managed to get from his home and under my feet - quite a drop! As I needed to capture a back lit subject he became the obvious choice!
Lighting is all natural which meant I didn't have much time to get a half decent shot. Now I get an idea of what landscape photographers have to deal with.
poss contribution (#1) to MM challenge for 27/4/20, theme: Windowsill
something green after last week's yellow - I know there is no logical progression there but...
one of the pitiful herbs (rosemary, just in case!) that "grow" on my kitchen windowsill. The background ins't really real it's a piece of felt put in front of the window to block out the mess of the outside and to soften the light coming in
