I have seen so many snaps of fog, but this is the 1st time, I witnessed it in person.
It was such a divine feel seeing that thin layer of fog linger around the valley floor until the sun hit them. It was a wonderful day in Yosemite!

A tranquil early morning walk through Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto, Japan. A morning I will not forget.
Abdul Kalam in his book Ignited Minds says that, “Only children will have these innovative ideas... I personally feel that young have the most powerful minds. They can overcome the negativity of the bureaucracy and some self-centered policies of the state government to enrich the people of the country."
Her name is Divinity (yes, an interesting name!), waitress in a 50's themed restaurant.
A chain burger restaurant was down the block but this place is so much better. The price was about the same too, but they used locally sourced meats and vegetables, cooked deliciously to order.
I couldn't resist also getting a milkshake to complete the experience!

Note: the EXIF says X-T2 but this was taken with the X-H1. I had to change the EXIF data to trick an older version of Lightroom into letting me edit the photo.
We did the guided tour of the Bodleian while we were in Oxford and I'm so glad we did. The guide was so knowledgeable and we got to go to all kinds of areas that you can't access normally (and many of which you can't photograph!) We started here in the Divinity School, a building that has evolved from its beginnings in the C15th until Wren (himself an Oxford scholar) added the door bottom left to line up with the Sheldonian Theatre opposite in the C17th It is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures, oral exams and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, more recently it was used as the Hospital Wing of Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter films.

Snow in Tokyo is something spectacular.
Snow falls over the deep red gates at Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan.
God is not only in the cross atop the temples of devotion and forts of civilisations but in every drop that sparkles in its light. We need to see them all as part of him as who knows which drop is meant to quench your thirst. (Arabian sea as seen from the Diu Fort).
I would like to thank Iso400 for my recent feature on their Monday Morning Special.

St. Aldhelm's Chapel,

St Aldhelm's Chapel is a Norman chapel on St Aldhelm's Head in the parish of Worth Matravers, Swanage, Dorset. It stands close to the cliffs, 108 metres (354 ft) above sea level. It is a Grade I listed building.
The square stone chapel stands within a low circular earthwork, which may be the remains of a pre-Conquest Christian enclosure. The building has several architectural features which are unusual for a chapel; the square shape, the orientation of the corners of the building towards the cardinal points, and the division and restriction of the interior space by a large central column.
The lack of evidence for an altar or a piscina suggests that the building may not have been built as a Chapel. It may have originally been built as a watchtower for Corfe Castle, covering the sea approaches to the south. Its identification as a purpose-built chapel rests on records of payments to a chaplain in the reign of King Henry III (1261–1272).

The festival of Gion Matsuri is one of the biggest and of the oldest festivals of Japan.
It takes place on several days in July for the year 869. It is registered on the UNESCO world heritage list.
This ceremony of Shintoist origin was established by the Emperor to fight against natural disasters, earthquake and tsunami which struck the country. Every traditional district of the city is decorated with lanterns and with tanks are completely built and covered magnificent embroidered(exaggerated) carpets(mats).
Divinities are walked in 33 tanks and pulled(fired) with bare hands by men(people) in traditional clothes. Orchestras(bands) play the music in and around these magnificent vessels.
Persephone is a daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she was taken by Hades the God king of the underworld and taken as his majestic queen, as the goddess of death, no one must speak her name. She once lived far away, living with nature, many Gods fell in love and tried to capture her heart. But in the end Hades rapes and steals her away and takes her to the darkest depths of the underworld.
In the end Hades is forced to let her go, Hermes retrieves her, but Hades had got her to eat some pomegranate seeds and because she had tasted the food of the underworld she was required to stay there for the winter months and only return to her mother for 2 thirds of the year.
This shoot has been a dream for a long time. I first stepped foot in this manor house over 2 and a half years ago. I had actually put this shoot together many many months ago but just as the date approached to do it, the house became unable to visit.
For so long I dreamt about this scene, my heart torn apart that I would never be able to make it a reality. But then one day while talking to a friend, I was made aware that it was possible, it wouldnt be easy, but that has never stopped me before.
I was lucky to have an amazing model, Jessica Nicole Griffiths recently arrived in London from Melbourne. She was so up for it, it made me the happiest person alive and with the help of amazing Matthew Adams and Richie Gowen we had made it into the house in pitch darkness, arms full of beautiful gowns made my The Couture Company
During the mission to get inside, Richie had already faceplanted a shallow river as he slipped on the log across it. Poor Rich was freezing cold as we slept in this beautiful abandoned manor house.
Sleeping in such a decaying building, with the bitter cold coming through the windows and dust coating the floor, it was a test of endurance, but worth it when the sun finally came up and revealed the beautiful house ready for us to get these photos.
I'm so happy I made this a reality finally.
