During the last days, sunlight seems to have found its way back to Iceland. Shown here is Bessastaðir in front of Mt Keilir, which is located on the Reykjanes peninsula. The afternoon sun cast the mountain and the entire peninsula into a beautiful, diffuse, golden-warm light that felt like a first promise of the summer to come (although it is way to early for thinking of summer). I especially like Keilir for its highly symmetric shape and the way it dominates its surroundings.
To keep out the nasty mozzies, we got this to diffuse the aroma of lemongrass oil.

One more on the last day of National Tree Week...this is one from my 10 mile from home project.
I very nearly didn't even capture this as it had telephone wires running right across it.....thank goodness for the clone tool.

Tin City on Stockton Beach, NSW. During the Great Depression, a group of squatters constructed a small village of tin shacks. 11 of the shacks remain. Tin City and the surrounding dunes were used in several scenes of the 1979 movie, Mad Max. Around one minute after sunrise, a thick bank of fog rolled through Tin City, adding some rustic romance to the scene.

Wanted to have a mess about with this sort of thing for a while and feeling in a creative mood I decided to have a crack.
Black felt tip pen and a screen protector. Drew it out and stuck it to two chairs on the table. Hung black fabric over the back and framed up.
Flashgun sat on the tea jar camera left behind the drawing on 115mm 1/64 power fired through some blue acrylic clipboards which were destined for landfill re purposed as gels. Diffused led lenser camera right on lowest power behind the drawing. Big chuff of vape in front and behind for depth and jobs a good un.
Ladybird Beetles are also known as Ladybugs and Lady Beetles. The adults are oval domed in shape, range in length from about 1 mm to 10 mm depending upon species. Females in general are a little larger than males. Like all other beetles, their hard forewings cover the membranous hind wings and protect the abdomen. Their legs and their clubbed antenna are short, which are usually hidden beneath their bodies when disturbed.

I was about to ignore when I first saw this spider because I thought it was an ant. When I take a close look at it then I realised it was ant mimicking spider and thanks to it for giving me this nice pose.

The ultra-diffuse galaxy GAMA 526784 appears as a tenuous patch of light in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope. This wispy object resides in the constellation Hydra, roughly four billion light-years from Earth. Ultra-diffuse galaxies such as GAMA 526784 have a number of peculiarities. For example, their dark matter content can be either extremely low or extremely high. Ultra-diffuse galaxies have been observed with an almost complete lack of dark matter, and others consist of almost nothing but dark matter.
Another oddity of this class of galaxies is their anomalous abundance of bright globular clusters, something not observed in other types of galaxies.

halfway through the afternoon,hug blacks clouds(huge!) shielded the track from the sunlight for about ten minutes..the result was like a huge softbox in the sky..this is pascal wehrlein in the Mercedes..
Bit of a busy background, but first time observing this particular bee mimicking fly! Apparently, it's typical for them to sun themselves in the springtime on piles of leftover fallen leaves, which is exactly what this one was doing. Interesting to see the pattern of the white hairs. Photo taken during a walk at Parc-nature du Bois-de-Liesse in Montréal, QC, Canada.

Experimenting with window light and a flowering cactus. This one always reminds me of Callum even though it is grown from a leaf of Mike's plant. I remember Callum saying his one always flowered in June. Two years since he left us. Still thinking of you my dear old mate.
It is however a pity I forgot to remove the makeshift base of cardboard before photographing. A timely reminder to pay great attention to detail :)
Fun though seeing how much light could be cut out and still have the flowers pop. Hopefully this is just the beginning, once I have myself a black box I shall be taking many more.
Re the segue I thought the pinks matched nicely :) Next up railway tracks at the delightful Paekakariki station in golden hour. Woo hoo!
