It had been a long time since I had taken a I.B.D.T. shot nor posted one. Here's one I did with Holly.

This photo was shot along the river side, a boat has just past and these are the wave splashing on the land and rocks.
Inside the Rundetårn (Round Tower) in Copenhagen, which I was climbing to get a nice overview image of the city from on high. This is a 17th-century tower built as an astronomical observatory in central Copenhagen. What you are seeing here is part of an "equestrian staircase" or corridor leading to the top, which has 7 1/2 turns. Frankly, it was a blast to climb. The top affords an awesome 360 degree view of the city!

The Interior of Scream Until You Like It...
Yeah, we took that dare, and went inside to see what horrors reside within the walls. ;)

Manakha is located in the Haraz mountains, 85 kms (a good 2-hour drive) from Sana'a. It is located at 2300 meters above sea. As far as you can see there's mountains, smaller ones, bigger ones, and about 90 percent of these mountains are covered with terraces for agriculture. Not all of them are used anymore, because lots of locals have moved to the capital and there's just not enough people left to work all the fields. On every hilltop or big rock a town was built, for protection against enemies in the past, incredible constructions, it is mind-boggling how they managed to build them all ... and then : the fields and hillsides are so green, it seems unreal, as if it was painted on.
This photo was taken during sunset and I was rather lucky to get some clouds as the sky in Yemen tends to be just blue and blue.

...reworked as a seasonal "Brandy Snap". "The Great Britain IV (renamed Riley's Whisky Chaser)" leaving Perth on April 2011. (Please view F11 in lightbox for intended best.)
This image captures the facade of a historic building at night, illuminated by artificial lighting. The building features a yellow upper section and a white lower section, with multiple windows arranged in a grid pattern. The most striking element is the large shadow cast on the building's wall, likely from a nearby statue or structure, adding a dramatic and mysterious effect to the scene. The contrast between the lit and shadowed areas highlights the architectural details and textures of the building, making it an intriguing subject for photography.
I took this photo today at Concours Hippique in Wehl the Netherlands. There were lots of horses and people.

As the sky starts to clear a patch of strong sunshine lights up a snow covered Stang against a dark sky background.
Single bare Yongnuo 560 II speed light bare slightly to camera right on 1/2...an hour before sunset (so still pretty bright out). Shot by Kaunis Hetki photography at House Of Refuge South Florida
As with the preceding photo, the nature of the sunlight here is what makes this image interesting. Driving home from West Virginia on a cloudy, sometimes rainy day in August, a break in the cloud cover let sunlight through in rather dramatic fashion. Fortunately, I was soon able to pull over at the top of the twisty mountain grade, just a short distance from the Virginia line. I've seen similar light before, but not quite as nice, and not when I could get photos.

Sunrise at Monument Valley
It's been a while since I've been to Monument Valley. This was shot w/ a Nikon D70. Don't really recall if these rocks in the foreground were the rocks right in the parking or I took a walk to find something different.
I do remember the Navajo guides talking about all the cool places they could take me to and all the different prices ranging from $200 and I talked some down to $40. That was in 2006, I wonder what they would charge now. I really wanted to go to Teardrop Arch but couldn't afford it at the time. Now I think there is plenty to find in the wilderness to go off and explore on your own.
I'm getting married tomorrow and people keep asking me if I'm nervous yet? No not yet, kind of perfectly calm. Excited yes!

Photo of the Day 12.05.07
Thought it was so cool that the tips of the matchsticks were green.
Aren't they usually red?
In a chamber of velvet shadows and golden lamplight, she sits poised at her desk, a vision of aristocratic grace. Her strapless gown, crimson embroidered with intricate patterns, cascades into folds of satin where a blue accent gleams like twilight caught in fabric. Her hair, swept into an elegant updo, frames a face lit by quiet resolve and timeless beauty. Around her, the room whispers of history—green curtains, framed photographs, and a cityscape beyond the window. This is not merely a portrait, but a tableau of sovereignty and memory, where fashion, architecture, and presence converge into legend.
“The Lady of Crimson and Sapphire”
She leans upon the desk of memory,
her gown a river of fire
crossed by a single ribbon of twilight blue.
The lamp burns low,
but her presence is the brighter flame,
casting shadows that bow
to the sovereignty of her silence.
Photographs murmur on the desk,
ghosts of lineage and legacy,
while beyond the window
the city exhales its dusk.
She is not merely adorned—
she is enthroned,
her posture a decree,
her gaze a covenant.
In her stillness,
time itself bends,
and we, who behold her,
become pilgrims of her radiance,
carrying away fragments of crimson and sapphire
to kindle our own darkened rooms.

Evening descent from the mountains. The sun is already hiding behind the ridges, throwing the valley into shadow — but the majestic peak still basks in golden light. A fleeting, magical moment between day and night.

Oman is a stunning place to visit with lot of beautiful nature to see. I was also lucky to experience wonderful strong storm just before sunset. I just had to find some point of interest to make it work even more. This tree/bush worked just fine.

A patch of strong sunshine provides some brief foreground and middle distance lighting, but Cronkley Scar and Widdybank Fell are about to disappear as the next powerful squall comes in. Taken from the top of Harthope Bank under a wild sky on an extremely blustery morning.
No crowd noise.
No scoreboard.
No thought.
Only breath, effort, and the desperate space between being caught and breaking free.
I loved the tension in this frame the outstretched hand, the collapsing chase, the determination to keep moving forward even when exhaustion is already pulling at every step.
Youth sport carries something professional sport often loses.
Rawness.
Hope.
Fearlessness.
These moments disappear in seconds on the field, but photography gives them another life. A reminder that courage is often nothing more than refusing to stop running when someone is already reaching for your ankles.
