This is a very unusual crop for me, as it is not leaving much room for the bird to travel to on the right, It turned almost immediately after I took this shot, so this made for a kinda cool pose. The best part for me is the tree behind it. I really liked how it looked so I kept it in, very moody.

Yet another bellflower image, where I intentionally shot through some of these flowers such that the Helios can create a beautiful painterly bokeh :) I hope you like it!
Always looking for a different spin on classic photo locations. This is the Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto Japan. Popular spot for night photography, for obvious reasons. Very hard to do anything original. I found this single lantern hanging at the corner of another structure nearby. I knew I could line up the small lantern, the cool old fence, and the shrine, it was just a matter of finding the right lens a zoom combo to make it work. The Bonus was that you are not supposed to use a tripod at Yasaka, but where this was shot was far enough form the shrine that a tripod was back on the table.
Let me know what you think.
it is today, that I am 20.000 days on earth.
I stole the idea from Nick Cave, who made a wonderful film with exactly this title.
I can highly recommend that film from my heart, as well as "One more Time with Feeling".
Nick Caves concert should have taken place in Berlin in May 2020, and I am still very sad that it had to be cancelled.

A different shot from Silverbell Regional Park. I found out that the pond is actually called Silverbell Lake.
Now for those of you who live in the Southwestern US this is a lake. For the rest of the world this would be a large pond at best.
Any body of water here in the desert is a real anomaly and something to be truly appreciated. I'm surprised that this isn't called something like Silverbell Oasis considering it's location!
If you look up in the right hand corner you'll see that the sky looks different than the rest. I'm thinking this is because I was standing in shade when I took this and the majority of the sky was hidden behind all the leaves? It was 9AM and the sun was blazing bright, hence the reason for the shade.
If you look down in the right hand corner you'll see a lone fishing bobber. I thought about cloning it out but left it just to see if anyone noticed!
a slightly different shot from " i sit here watching".....im going all arty at the min....the only artist ill ever be is a whiskey piss artist...
sorry peeps if ive offended anyone..was just a bita daftness...i love "salvador dali" i have two of his books...
Reading and Northern train PNPV (Port Clinton to Pottsville) is headed south as they pause at about MP 82.1 on modern day RBMN's Pottsville Branch crossing the muddy Schuylkill River at a place known as "The Chutes."
The rails through here were opened by the Philadelphia and Reading in 1842. For the next 124 years this was the the northern end of the road's 88 mile mainline from Philadelphia to Pottsville. In 1976 the by then bankrupt RDG was folded into Conrail which operated this trackage for 14 years until selling it to the expanding Reading Blue, Mountain and Northern Railroad in 1990. This view is taken from the bridge of the parallel John Bartram Trail which once was the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Schuylkill Division that was abandoned shortly after the formation of Conrail.
Leading the train are two EMD end cab switchers from decidedly different eras, RBMN 803 (SW8 blt. Sep. 1951 as Lehigh Valley 270) and 1542 (MP15DC blt. Apr. 1982 as Southern 2426)

Something completely different from what I normally shoot. I was out for a sunrise shoot at this location, but nothing spectacular happened. I took some shots from the outside and thought, why not have a look inside. So that was my own Urbex exploring. It tell a story, of an old house where someone use to live. It has memories for someone. And now it's a memory for me too :)

We often wonder how different animal species see their world. What this surrealist image represents is that colour is entirely about perception. What we see and agree is green grass, might just as well be red to another creature. Some ancient historians argue, for instance, that in Homer's time the colour "blue" did not exist as we know it. Have a read of this article if you're interested.

These black and white Belted Galloways might see the world in monochrome, or perhaps they see their food source in bright reddish tones like this. This breed of cow comes from southwestern Scotland. It was established as a specific breed in 1921. I assure you the cow on the right does have four legs despite the illusion. You see, we can't always believe what we see!
None of this work involved AI at all! Nor did I use style filters. This is processing from the ground up where RAW files were altered using Capture One software.
We had a good crop of Camellia's this Fall with different colors. I guess the lack of rain and winds helped with the flowers still on the stems. Not much longer though.

Some think that these birds have grown accustomed to seeing my canoe on the bayou, but I’ve spent far too little time on the bayou and they are just like every other animal that you encounter. Some are willing to stick around and keep a wary eye on the photographer while other bolt or fly away long before I ever reach for my camera. This particular Green Heron was doing a bit of preening and my extremely slow and methodical approach allowed me to get well inside of its comfort zone without departing. I wish I had an explanation, but it’s just the way it happens with each encounter and each one is different. This bayou leprechaun even turned its back on me and continued to make sure that all of those feathers were in proper working order. And no, there’s not a lot of green showing in the plumage. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.

Avocets Feeding - Merritt Island
Space Coast Photo #17
From Animals ADDA:
Avocets are wader birds of the genus Reurvirostra, characterized by long legs and long, up curved bills. They live in wetlands and during feeding they sweep their bills from side to side. Avocets are rare and critically endangered bird species. They represent four species of the genus Recurvirostra which are commonly known as Pied avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta), American avocet (Recurvirostra Americana), Red necked avocet (Recurvirostra novaehollandiae), and Andean avocet (Recurvirostra andina). They also have migratory activity.
I had something different in mind for this shoot, but between the weather yesterday and certain issues it turned into this! I still like this different outcome, though :) And you probably can't tell, but it was one of the most painful shoots I've done yet, haha.
In three days I'll be flying out to be reunited with my bestie and I couldn't be any more excited! Look forward to a bunch of photos from that trip! :)
Also, I forgot to mention in the last description that there's a new blog post up, check it out! :)
Hope you're all having a wonderful day, love you guys!! *huug*
