I made this image as a dedication to the family from my home town that were impacted by the Volcano at White Island. My suburb is not a large one and there are always connections with many people affected.

 

This is the Church of The Good Sheppard at Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. It is iconic for the images taken of it under the “dark sky” the area is famous for. On a clear night you can see billions of tiny stars twinkling and the wonders of a never –ending universe. One that is sometimes hard to understand.

  

I feel a long way from home at the moment.

It is extremely sad to witness puffins resorting to using fishing line to construct their nests. This highlights the impact of human activity on the natural world and the dangerous consequences of littering. The use of fishing line puts the birds' lives at risk and has serious consequences for the puffin and its offspring, including entanglement, injury, and death. It is crucial that we all take responsibility for preserving the environment and its inhabitants by disposing of waste properly and reducing our reliance on harmful materials.

This image is dedicated to the people who have lost there lives yesterday in The Netherlands.

An idiot has killed 8 people (including himself afterwards) in a shopping mall with a machine gun!

4 people are still in critical conditions and another 16 are also still in the hospital

How cruele people can be.

How crazy people can be.

How sick people can be!

 

Please no more killings!

The steam was so intense, I was here for probably twenty minutes before I even realized there was a man in the water.

 

Explored.

As a Dane, Mikkel Honoré was racing at home today, in this exceptional prologue of the Tour de France in Copenhagen. Having fallen and derailed earlier, the end of the race must have been quite painful.

Ich lebe mein Leben in wachsenden Ringen,

die sich über die Dinge ziehn.

Ich werde den letzten vielleicht nicht vollbringen,

aber versuchen will ich ihn.

  

Ich kreise um Gott, um den uralten Turm,

und ich kreise jahrtausendelang;

und ich weiß noch nicht: bin ich ein Falke, ein Sturm

oder ein großer Gesang.

Blood starts to bubble, brain starts to fry

And I'm staring at myself with dilated eyes

 

Something inside me, spark that just won't die

No matter how hard I pray away, no matter how I try

  

Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But Heaven don't need more angels and you just need more time

She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But I just want you here tonight, tonight

  

World starts to crumble, blade starts to cry

Lilith's wandering in her mind like a ghost in denial

 

Something inside me, spark that just won't die

No matter how hard I pray away, no matter how I try

 

Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But Heaven don't need more angels and you just need some time

She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But I just want you here tonight, tonight

But I just want you here tonight, tonight

 

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Oh, tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Oh, tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight

  

Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But Heaven don't need more angels and

She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But I just want you here tonight, tonight

Tonight

St. Vitus Cathedral (Katedrála Svatého Víta), Prague, Czech Republic is a Gothic masterpiece, and for some, the best cathedral in Europe..

 

The foundation stone was laid by King John of Bohemia in 1344 but it took almost a further six centuries to complete, with the final phase of construction taking place during the period 1873-1929.

 

The cathedral was so busy with tourists as you would expect, I was very lucky getting these shots as a little later I was told by security that I couldn't use a tripod!!! Phew!!!

 

A total of 8 Pixel Shift portrait images (the original collage is over 670mb in size) taken with the Pentax K3 II paired with the Samyang 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS (Ultra Wide Angle) lens mounted on the Manfrotto Tripod with Manfrotto Pan head 391RC2 and triggered using a Pentax remote,

 

Stitched together in the Photomerge feature in Photoshop on iMac then a pretty much standard run through in DxO Optics Pro on Mac......so really the image is very similar to the original stills.

This is the interior of the Catholic Church in Our Lady of the Rocks island, which s adorned with Byzantine-style paintings, including frescoes depicting religious scenes and local folklore, and features a main altar made of Carrara and Corinthian marble by Antonio Capellano.

It houses a revered icon of Mary and Christ painted by Lovro Dobričević and contains votive objects, including maritime artifacts and an 1828 embroidery made from silk, gold, silver thread, and human hair, which reportedly took 25 years to complete.

It is unique in every respect and it only conveys the dedication of people, who not only kept faith in God, but also dedicated every piece of art they could learn in their lives.

With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve - Quaid-i- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah

 

Quaid-e-Azam Residency (Urdu: قائد اعظم ریزڈنسی‎—Qāʾid-e Aʿẓam Rẹziḋinsī), also known as Ziarat Residency, is located in Ziarat, Balochistan, Pakistan. It is where Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah spent the last two months and ten days of his life. It is the most famous landmark of the city, constructed in 1892 during the British Raj. The building is a wooden structure, originally designed as a sanatorium before being converted into the summer residence of the agent of the Governor General. It is declared a national monument and heritage site and is of great architectural importance.

On 15 June 2013, the Residency was targeted with rockets by terrorists and badly damaged.

However, it has been reconstructed and opened to public since 14 August 2014.

 

Jinnah is one of my ideals and is a symbol of dedication in the history of Indo-Pak subcontinent, today is his birthday.

I feel a need to post this because I took a spill trying to get here. Bad shoes on slippery rocks = bad news. But I remember holding my camera high to protect it from the water, while my hip and elbow took the lion's share of the fall. Had to ice down a bit later, but the camera stayed dry. Thus, this was my hardest shot to get of the Maroon Bells.
