Wheels That Don't Turn, Fires That Don't Burn....Wonderful albums, and music by Jimmy Webb. Camelot!

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 was probably around 10 months ago now that I took a vested interest into woodland photography. Looking back this was probably brought about through the changing of the seasons and some very inspirational shots I had seen from some prominent and some not so prominent photographers.

It was also about this time that I noticed my photography in genral was shifting, I was no longer trying to compete against shots I had seen on social media or forever chasing that elusive colorful sunrise or sunset (I still do chase these from time to time, mainly in winter when the trees have retired there foliage) instead I was paying more attention to smaller details and how things came together in shape and form. One thing woodland photography isn't is easy, far from it in fact. A lot of my early attempts at woodland photography left me with nothing but frustration. How was it these photographers made it look so easy? I would find what I thought was a great looking characterful tree take some shots of it and the images on review would be lifeless and I just didn't get it, what was I doing wrong? I think I am slowly beginning to have some thought on how to answer this question and hopefully this image is testimony to that.

Praying for Better Days!

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

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.

I did an extended photoshooting with my little model...

so you might get to see some more portraits of her ;))

Have a wonderful and peaceful sunday!!!

Taken @ Frontenac Park. This was taken one week after the last photo of Big Salmon lake. The colors are more muted and the light was fading. But the sky was awesome!

A brief history of time

Pour/to Gusmah

To my friend Tio

In the beginning I thought

he leaves me out in the rain

in the pouring rain

and you thought the same about me

I know

but there where some hints

some indications

eventually the rain stopped

just for a moment ?

a change to the better?

I was in the mist

I tried to peer through the fog

and I poked about in a fog

leaving somebody out in the cold

can produce fog

to cut a long story short

I found a valuable friend

or did he find me?

I think we both did the job

and this was good!

...it is hard to fly.

Early morning on the Millpond

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.

Groundhog Day, I wonder if the photographer saw his shadow?

This practice is not for me alone.

I dedicate it to my ancestors, my descendants, and all beings.

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.
