Juist is one of seven East Frisian Islands at the edge of the German Wadden Sea in the southern North Sea. The Low German pet name Töwerland translates as magic land.
The bill domain is the last house on the western tip of the island.

While the light tries to make its way
through the menacing dark clouds
swollen with rain ...
The sea waves rise roaring,
shaken by a raging wind ....
Everything seems to be crossed
by uncontrollable and overwhelming forces ...
Mentre la luce tenta di farsi largo
fra le nubi minacciose e gonfie di pioggia ...
Le onde del mare si sollevano ruggenti,
agitate da un vento impetuoso....
Tutto sembra attraversato
da forze incontrollabili e travolgenti ...

MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU! :)

Iceland Waterfalls are perhaps the country's most recognizable series of attractions. They're everywhere! Its collection of waterfalls rivals any other country in sheer power and raw beauty. The falls range from powerful and wide river-type monsters like Dettifoss, Gullfoss, and Goðafoss to tall and narrow ones like Glymur, Háifoss, and Hengifoss. Moreover, the country sports classic waterfalls such as the rectangular Skógafoss as well as unique waterfalls such as the trapezoidal Dynjandi. And these are just the famous ones! There are countless other waterfalls tumbling by the Ring Road as well as many more that don't even have formal names!
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. It is a unique waterfall on the river Seljalandsá, about 30 km west from Skógar. It drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. There is a foot path behind it at the bottom of the cliff, but with a thin cascade. It is the only known waterfall of its kind, where it is possible to walk behind it. The waterfall is very picturesque and therefore its photo can be found in many books and calendars. Seljalandsfoss is situated in between Selfoss and Skógafoss at the road crossing of Route 1 (the Ring Road) with the track going into Þórsmörk. The path at the bottom of the cliff allows you to walk behind the waterfall without getting wet, or nearly not getting wet. It was bit tricky to capture this shot as the water is being constantly sprayed around. I have found one spot where the wind didn't blow so intensively and managed to make 0.3sec exposure to smoothen the falling water.

Of the four possibilities this one is my favorite. If it drives me too crazy, I’ll take it into post processing later to get rid of that tiny hair.
This portion of the little sugar bowl is under two inches and I’ll put up a context picture later to verify that.
(btb, the runner up picture is of the Halloween duckies.)

Bandit being his incredible photogenic self. He loves to pose for photos, in fact he even photo bombs when I try to take photos of other dogs. This one was taken at Riverwood Farm in the fall of last year and decided it deserved an edit.

I found this small patch of wild sunflowers yesterday afternoon. There was quite a bit of cloud cover so I was very happy when the sun peeked out and gave me a little bit of sidelight. Hope you all have a great week.

Had too many versions of this and couldn't decide which one to post. I made it last week when I did the other version, I really do prefer the other version myself, but thought I post this one up.

It was a magical time full of awesome light and clouds to be at this beach!

We only have the one lighthouse on the Central Coast, at Norah Head. I can't count the number of times I've been there in the last 15 years, taking photos from every possible angle & perspective. This one is taken from Gravelly Beach.
They can't weigh very much, being called lighthouses. Speaking of weight .... did you know the fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. Apparently, he acquired his size from too much pi ;)
Thanks for dropping by & any comments, always appreciated.

Šilo Safe Haven Before the Storm
A dramatic landscape photograph captured in Šilo harbor on Krk island, just before a summer downpour. The composition is led by the stone breakwater on the right, guiding the eye towards the calm sea surface and the distinct green lantern (navigation light). The contrast between the stone texture, the quiet sea, and the heavy, rainy clouds in the background creates a strong sense of peace and anticipation.
Sigurna luka Šilo pred oluju
Fotografija dramatičnog pejzaža usnimljena u Luci Šilo na otoku Krku, neposredno prije ljetnog pljuska. Kadar je kompozicijski vođen kamenim valobranom s desne strane koji vodi pogled prema mirnoj morskoj površini i prepoznatljivoj zelenoj lanterni (navigacijskom svjetlu). Kontrast između teksture kamena, mirnog mora i teških, kišnih oblaka u pozadini stvara snažan osjećaj mira i iščekivanja.
Monochrome is the best way to capture the dramatic contrasts in light and shade. The lighting here is all natural as the setting sun shines on this housing estate. In the background lie the mountains that are engulfed in stormy darkness. Between the mountains and these houses flows the Tamar River.

Autumn, Where the Road Meets the Sky
The road slips softly through the hills,
beneath a wide and changing sky;
The grasses bow, the air grows still,
as clouds drift slowly by.
Autumn comes in russet coats,
in amber leaves and fading green;
It scatters gold along the slopes
and hushes every scene.
The distant ridges blur with rain,
their edges softened into blue;
The road winds on beyond the plain,
toward something old and new.
A restless breeze combs through the trees,
then carries leaves across the ground;
They dance like small, bright memories
before they settle down.
The daylight thins. The shadows lengthen.
A coolness gathers in the air.
The hills grow quiet; colors deepen;
the evening finds us there.
Still, down the road, beneath the sky,
the season’s gentle embers glow—
Autumn teaches us that letting go
can make room for what will grow.
Photoshop edits and slight Hdr to bring out the finer details.
Thank you for your visit, faves and kind comments.
A tranquil black-and-white analog photograph capturing a misty rural landscape. The scene evokes a sense of mystery and solitude. Shot on APX 100 / Fomapan film with a Minolta Dynax 700si, the image is unedited, highlighting the timeless beauty of analog photography.
(I upped the camera's ISO setting for this shot.)
In the photography game sometimes you need to wait for the right conditions. At other times you need to achieve a level of technical skill to execute your vision. Sometimes you need both. This image is one such example. The day was a bust until out of nowhere the sky opened up and delivered. I shot away as it was happening, but when I got home and ran it through various attempts, I couldn't achieve what I wanted. Last weekend I finally achieved the finished product. Hey it only took 3 1/2 years, but sometimes life works like that.
From a technical standpoint this is two exposures hand blended to compensate for the motion that destroyed many HDR attempts.
I have been slacking on visiting, but I will be back soon I promise. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and check out my photo stream I really appreciate it
The sun settles towards the horizon while two boats rest at anchor, their masts and rigging standing dark against the amber sky. Below them, the sea catches the last light, its ripples carrying broken traces of gold across the blue-grey water. The boats seem content to remain where they are, suspended between the warmth of the setting sun and the quiet depth of the sea. Some evenings offer no great event or dramatic story — only a moment of stillness worth keeping.
When I turned the camera away from the setting sun things became a lot more dramatic. This small section of suburbia was awash in sunlight, but all around the shadows dominated as the dark clouds rolled over Launceston in the background.

Today I spent the day at the BMW DP Tour at Wentworth, and it’s fair to say we were treated to some hefty rain spells, scattered throughout like dramatic interludes.
At times, the sky would darken suddenly, turning a deep slate grey as towering thunderclouds rolled in with theatrical force. The atmosphere felt heavy, electric—nature’s own commentary on the tournament below.
By the time I got home, golden hour had arrived, casting everything in a warm, forgiving light. I sent my drone up to chase the remnants of those storm clouds that had drenched us all day. This one here was still spilling its raindrops—only now, they shimmered in a soft orange hue, kissed by the sunset.
The town in the foreground is Welling, quietly basking beneath the drama above.
