VIEWING TIP- Best viewed full screen on a dark background.
This photo was taken after dinner one evening on our recent New Zealand Spring Workshop, after a huge day in the canyons & waterfalls we snuck out along the lake edge near Queenstown to have a crack at these mini waves.
It’s a demonstration of how easily you can use moving water as a strong & impactful foreground in a grand landscape.

The sky didn't fire up as I expected but the dark clouds add some drama. From Whitby beach at sunrise.
Okay, okay, okay! I have a lot to say today, I know so unlike me but do to the amazing day I’ll share. Amazing why? Front Page, wow! I know but it is so nice to have that feeling like someone gets you or something you love to do is shared. The climb was quite the experience and I’m glad I did and could share it with you! Love you guys!
Second, the story yesterday I was wrong. I said that Mt. Sherman is one of the easiest in Colorado, ranked 45 out of 53. So its 54 not 53 - 14ers in Colorado and pertains to the height not easiest. But still is one of the easiest, I was hoping it wasn’t!
Now to this shot. This is the second mining structures you come to about a quarter into the climb. It’s a good place for a shutterbug, a mile into the hike and 800 feet. Also a good spot to act like you’re taking pictures not catching your breath or taking a break, that’s between you and me don’t tell!
And last but not least thank you Samuel for your testimonial, he was my first Flickr contact and is a wonderful person!
A magical view from my front garden... I feel blessed with all the amazing sunsets I've experienced on my front steps!

A dramatic stormy sunset sky near Eiras, O Rosal, Galicia, Spain, featuring vibrant orange and purple clouds. The cloud formations are rich and dynamic, combining fluffy cumulus and dense nimbostratus types. These colors are illuminated by the setting sun, casting an ethereal glow over the darkened landscape below. The silhouette of rolling hills is visible in the distance, creating a striking contrast against the colorful sky above.
The Bendigo Stupa.
I was really torn with this edit. A Stupa is a peaceful location and even if you are not a Buddhist, you cannot help but fell a calmness.
But the structure, the sky, the way the light fell gave it a dramatic feel. And yes, I did lean into this drama.

Caught this incoming storm on the way home and got caught in it when I got there - snow, sleet and hail. Had to sit in the car for ten minutes until it passed
Napa Light Festival - segment of video projections on the First Presbyterian Church by Artist: Hotaru Visual Guerilla | Donostia from San Sebastian, Spain. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max on Live Mode.
it was a regular afternoon in portixol, just a moment on the way to the office. i´d parked the car nearby and, as i glanced up, the clouds unraveled a scene too striking to ignore. dramatic and textured, they hovered over the sea, parting just enough to let divine rays of sunlight pierce through, illuminating the water below. a jogger with a stroller crossed the scene, her steady pace a striking contrast to the still vastness of the moment. it wasn´t planned, just a fleeting stop for a photographâbut sometimes, the most ordinary interruptions offer extraordinary beauty.

The photograph captures the vibrant, historic heart of Piazza del Duomo in Taormina, Sicily, dominated by the majestic Duomo di Taormina (Cathedral of Saint Nicholas) and its iconic baroque fountain, the Fontana del Duomo. Constructed in the 13th century over the remnants of an earlier medieval church and extensively renovated during the 15th and 17th centuries, the cathedral showcases a striking Sicilian Romanesque-Gothic style, characterized by its austere exterior of local pink marble and gray stone topped with crenellated battlements that recall a medieval fortress. In the foreground, the multi-tiered 1635 Baroque fountain features carved stone mythological figures and mythological sea creatures, culminating in the symbol of Taormina at its summit: a crowned centaur holding a globe and scepter. The wet, glistening cobblestones of Corso Umberto—the town's historical pedestrian artery—reflect the muted lighting of a rainy day, highlighting the bustling movement of visitors carrying umbrellas past historic facade archways and warm storefronts.
Perched dramatically on a rocky terrace of Mount Taurus approximately 206 meters above the Ionian Sea, Taormina’s geographic position has rendered it a strategic and cultural crossroads since its founding by the Sicels and ancient Greeks as Tauromenion in the 4th century BCE. Throughout the centuries, the town evolved through Greco-Roman, Byzantine, Arab, and Norman conquests, each leaving an indelible architectural mark on its urban fabric. Today, Taormina serves as one of Italy's premier luxury tourist destinations, renowned globally for its rich heritage, sweeping vistas of Mount Etna and the Noto Valley, and its world-class cultural events housed in antiquity at the Ancient Theatre of Taormina. The surrounding Piazza del Duomo remains a central hub of local public life, surrounded by elegant palaces such as the 17th-century Palazzo dei Duchi di Santo Stefano and vibrant cafes that line the town's narrow medieval alleys.
The region’s culinary landscape is deeply intertwined with Sicilian history, drawing heavy influences from Arab, Greek, and Spanish traditions that highlight the island's fertile volcanic soil and coastal waters. Visitors in Taormina frequently experience classic regional dishes such as Pasta alla Norma—crafted with local eggplant, salted ricotta, and sweet tomatoes—or fresh seafood specialties featuring swordfish (pesce spada) and sea urchin. Iconic dolci include cannoli filled with sweetened sheep's milk ricotta, citrus-infused granita served with warm brioche, and traditional almond pastries. The dining culture around Piazza del Duomo reflects this rich gastronomic heritage, where historical trattorias and refined restaurants showcase top-tier Etna DOC wines harvested from the volcanic slopes surrounding the region, offering a complete sensory immersion into East Sicilian culture.

Neidpath Castle is an L-plan rubble-built tower house, overlooking the River Tweed about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Peebles in the Borders of Scotland. The castle is both a wedding venue and filming location and can be viewed by appointment.
History
An early castle was probably built here by Simon Fraser of Oliver Castle between 1263 and 1266, while he held the office of High Sheriff of Tweeddale.[1] The barony of Neidpath was acquired by the Hay family, through marriage in the early 14th century to the heiress Margaret, a daughter of the sheriff's son, Simon Fraser of Oliver and Neidpath.[2] Sir William de Haya (d.c.1390) probably built the present castle in the late 14th century. It was held by them until the 17th century, although Sir William's son, Sir Thomas Hay, married the daughter and heiress of Sir Hugh Gifford of Yester, acquiring Yester Castle, which became the principal family seat, although Neidpath continued to be used.[3] It was visited by Mary, Queen of Scots in 1563,[4] and by her son James VI in 1587.[1]
Saturday Self-Challenge: Dramatic Picture
This was an interesting challenge.There are many different interpretations. At first I thought the most obvious was an image with a dramatic story, but after looking at examples provided in articles on the topic, I realized that lighting can also provide a dramatic, eye-catching mood. I happened to glance over at a couple of my teddy bears being illuminated by late afternoon sun, and had to capture it.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
The coloured version is one of my favorite shot, this round I convert into b&w & create a more dramatic processing.
How do you think?
The view from Maiden Rock Bluff is a spectacular one - train or no train.
I got an idea to hike the bluff train within the Maiden Rock Bluff State Natural Area on day before Christmas Eve seeing as there was no snow. The bluff had been high on my wish list. Views from the various vistas are amazing, and I was gifted a train rolling along the shores of Lake Pepin while I was admiring the scene. I was hoping a train would show up, and one fortunately did! I have admired others' Mississippi River bluff railroad photos, so I was pleased to get one myself.

Sunset at Praia da Rocha Beach, PortimĂŁo, Faro, Portugal. The sky is filled with dramatic clouds, casting a vibrant array of colors over the horizon. The beach is illuminated by the soft, fading sunlight reflecting off the tranquil waves. In the distance, the silhouette of PortimĂŁo's buildings is visible, adding an urban touch to the scenic coastal view. The contrast between the glowing sky and the darker clouds creates a striking visual scene typical of February in this region.
