Do you ever wonder how many sunsets this rock has seen?
Sometimes I do.
Innova 6x9 pinhole / Kodak Ektar 100
This is the other shot from my corrupted card yesterday... 2 minute exposure with ND x1000 filter...
What is this...that stands before me?
Figure in black...which points at me...
Turn round quick...and start to run...
Find out I'm...the chosen one!
"Clancy, I should be the one saying that."
I asked you to and you declined.
"No, you asked me to sing it like the Black Sabbath
song and I declined."
You're not much of a Halloween person, are you?
"Hey, I'm a great Halloweener."
More like a great Halloweiner. And speaking of weiners,
my diet is finished, right?
"Yes. You've lost five pounds sinse April 1 and look
fine to me. The vet said I should see an hourglass
shape when I look at you from above, and if I'm not
seeing an hourglass shape, I'm at least seeing a
3/4hourglass shape, good enough for me. So, yes,
when we get home you can have a weiner."
Really? I take it back, Dad, you're a Hallowinner!
(Happy Halloween and stay safe, from Count Clancy, B-Rat and Ding-Bat!) (And me!)

Upper Antelope Canyon - Navajo Reservation - Page, Arizona View On Black
The rocks that make up Antelope canyon are the petrified remains of prehistoric sand dunes laid down when a shallow ocean filled this portion of North America. Cross bedding is noticable in the soft sandy walls. Many large overhangs with spiraling grooves carved into the sandstone loom overhead. Millions of years of erosion created this awesome splender of Mother Nature. Over time, the water started cutting it's way into this sandstone with tremendous force creating eddies and whirlpools, this is what makes the spiraling walls referred to as the Corkscrew formation.
Happy Friday to all my friends....hope everyone has a wonderful weekend....53 days & counting to vacation :-) Thanks for stopping by to visit!!!
Ad occhio nudo, in una notte perfetta, si possono contare circa 5000 stelle...
ad occhi chiusi, si riescono a vedere i confini ultimi della nostra Galassia.

"1 sheep, 2 sheeps, 3 sheeps, 4..."
"Barney it's not sheeps is sheep!"
"Pfft. 5 sheeps, 6 sheeps.... ....29 sheeps, 30 sheeps"
"You'll send yourself to sleep counting all those sheep Barney!"
"Won't. I'm gonna send YOU to sleep then, then, I'm gonna go round up all the sheeps and me and some other collies from down the hill are gonna have a sheep trial!"
"You mean a sheepdog trial!"
"No. I haven't done anything wrong, it's the sheep that are on trial. Bad things them are. With their bleatin and worrying dogs and stuff."
You can't see them here, but there were sheep all around the spot I took this! They teased poor Barney all day long, popping out of the undergrowth in front of him and trotting jauntily ahead, just out of reach (he was on a lead!)... Barney is friendly with cows, he is polite with horses and cats and slightly frightened by chickens and goats but sheep are just too tempting - he can't help trying to stalk them, so he stays on a lead around them, apart from when I'm standing still, taking a photo of him, when he knows to stay put!!
Well, you'll never guess what but I'm back at university again! This time, I'm at Birmingham, which is great as I can commute up from home. For the time being, I'm only going up for three months - to work on a research project, but it's very likely I'll actually be there a lot longer - possibly doing a PhD next year. It's all happened so quickly, I can barely believe it! My dad works for a professor at the university and mentioned me to him a couple of weeks ago. At the end of last week, I went and had a chat with him and this Wednesday, I was offered the temporary job. I pretty much started the project that day! It's all rather sudden but I'm very pleased as I'm sure you can imagine :)
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

My 16th Winter Count. The mid-January photo is a bit different because there's nothing in it that says Winter, it is a view over Riddarholmen from Monteliusvägen at Mariaberget. We had a school shooting in February. Eleven people died, including the shooter. This photo shows flags at half-mast at the Royal Palace the day after that horrible incident. In March, I obviously ate a semla during Fat Tuesday. I got a virus in April and was out of action for two weeks. So I missed most of the Cherry Blossom mania, but managed to visit Kungsträdgården at the end of that frenzy. Sköna maj. Everyone's favorite month. When all the colors returns. Somenone stole my eBike in June. A bigger blow than I had ever expected. Quite a few walks with camera through the old town this year, snapping away at tourists. I checked out two classic car meets in August. This one is from Sveavägen. Sure was a fine Autumn day in September when I took this candid photo of a happy woman at Vattentorget. Can't have a Winter Count without a photo of That Old Tree. I took a few night shots as we entered the 100 Days of darkness. We finish with a photo from the Nobel Lights Week.
"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"
Yeah, we'll be counting stars…"
*OneRepublic*
There are three great white sharks in this shot, along with two yellowfin tuna, and a yellowtail amberjack. Can you spot them all?
Nuremberg Castle, or Kaiserburg, is one of the most important castles in the history of the German Empire. Between 1050 and 1571 all the German and Holy Roman Emperors lived there at various times. Nuremberg Castle was built in stages on a sandstone hill on the north side of Nurembergs's old city and there are actually three parts to the castle: the Kaiserburg (Emperor's Castle) in the west and complete in itself, the Burggrafenveste (Count's Castle) in the middle and also the oldest part, and the Stadtburg (part belonging to the Imperial City) on the eastern side. It reached its massive present size and length of 220 meters in three stages of construction between the 11th and the 15th centuries

... will wake up soon and go in search of fresh blood.;-)
Burgdorf castle last friday evening.

Before getting into the title, let me address the image. In addition to the Finchette on the left side of the feeder, we see here a couple of new additions, not necessarily to the yard but definitely to the camera. So, why not introduce them simultaneously in a sitting pose plainly showing the backside as well as a snazzy flight maneuver by, yes, some of you may have guessed, Pine Siskins. As you can see, they are a pretty colored bird with beaks that are more slender than that of a Finch. We used to have a couple of green ones coming around but no such luck this year yet. One more reason we are looking at this flight shot is that I have encountered some criticism regarding my yard management techniques. I want to make it clear that Levitation is not the only thing happening here, although and perhaps because of my dislike for rules (in spite of my German upbringing – nothing is Verboten here) Levitation is practiced a lot.
The reason I am bringing up the “Counting Flowers on the Wall and Inner Peace” in the title is that I simply neglected to mention a couple of things in my previous exposé on Inner Peace. Not only do I do a lot of bird watching (as you may have realized by now), there are other things such as counting ducks that I previously mentioned. Playing solitaire and watching TV have actually taking a back seat to my taking pictures. Smoking cigarettes is still high on the list. Some of you, however, posted such marvelous flower shots with such vivid colors that I now find myself Counting Flowers On The Wall. These, of course, only exist in my mind but are not any less vivid than the real thing.

Although I like the Statler Brothers (they did the original), this is a much snazzier version with way better sound. Addicted to the toe stomping, hand clapping beat.
This was Gibsy's first encouter with sheep. We stayed in a cottage in the Brecon Beacons in Wales and there were sheep and horses in the field next door. He was around four months old and totally fascinated. Happy Fenced Friday everyone!
The water released through the Devghar Dam's spillway and a small hillock of the excavation debris with few stars in the sky. Wasn't a perfect frame though.
I heard the water whispering "Welcome to the world of wide angles." :-)
Taken during the Devghar Moonwalk.
Shot in a moonlight, 30sec exposure.
One thing I look forward to every year is the return of the Damselflies, I just love them. They have such character, great colours and are one insect that have that anthropomorphic quality. You can really get eye contact with these guys and a variety of expressions. I really must try to find some different species this year as well. Only 3.5 Months or so to wait LOL ;o)
This was an Ischnura elegans from July last Summer, I took this using my MP-E at about x2-x3 mag using a diffused flash. It was a 15 image focus stack using an F/7.1 aperture, ISO 320 and a 1/160 shutter speed.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend :o)
Will you stand and count the waves with me?
They’ll steal your heart, capture your dreams
Watch, them play out on the sand,
And, then you can…And, then you can
Walk across the waters of your life
To dance through morning mists aglow,
And, then you’ll know…And, then you’ll know
That counting waves will cleanse your soul
And, wash your eyes anew
