“The birth of Aphrodite from the foam of the sea of Cyprus”
It would be impossible for the Greeks not to create a goddess who would protect and personify natural beauty and physical perfection, two elements which the Greeks loved and worshipped so deeply. They created Aphrodite for this exact reason; she symbolizes eternal beauty and erotic feeling. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and of beauty, emerged from the soft foam of the sea. She made her appearance in Cyprus many millenniums ago, right next to the Rock of Romios (Petra tou Romiou), the huge rock that appears majestically on the shore of Cyprus.
The most prevalent myth concerning her origin is that she was born from the foam of the sea on a beautiful shore in Cyprus. From there, the wind of Zefiros with a soft breeze pushed her to the sea, in the white foam waves. She was welcomed by the ‘Hours’ (the seasons of the year). They dressed her with beautifully decorated dresses of porphyries and silk. They platted her rich hair and they fixed it with a gold buckle. They decorated her fair neck with gold necklaces and her ears with pearl earrings.
It was only during my second visit of Cyprus that I have timed my journey right and decided to spend late afternoon and evening at this wonderful place, hoping for some great results. Entire evening has indeed turned out to be better than expected. This photo was taken bit later than my previous shot from this place. Silky smooth sea effect was reached with 30s exposure time.

On our Starbucks coffee run this morning. The cloud-enhanced sunrise was beautiful.
Tucson's potholes are very noticeable. The car and camera jerked as I snapped this The streets are not paved to handle rain. We get two monsoon seasons, but it's always a surprise to the road maintenance departments, city and county.
It's not a very colorful sunrise. We are headed east. The clouds are coming to Tucson from the south. They are from a storm off the west coast of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean. I hope we get some rain. None from this storm so far.
Next week there will be anode Pacific storm off the coast of California. We all need rain!

Candid street portrait taken in Glasgow, Scotland. This couple were watching a street performer but I felt that the dappled light falling across their faces was performance art all of it's own.

If you look closely at this picture, do you see a rainbow? Okay--it's not a rainbow, perhaps, but it sort of reminds me of one. This was one of the most unique sunsets that I've witnessed in some time.
My wife and I took this series of pictures of an unbelievable sunset on our way back from Peoria a few days ago (yes, that's how it actually appeared!). We came up over a hill and saw it--and I desperately started looking for a place to pull off the road to take shots. Finally, I found a very narrow gravel country road and turned off onto it.
We both leaped out of the Corvette with cameras in hand. We were out in the middle of nowhere with no one else around. As luck would have it, however, a pickup truck soon drove towards us headed towards the highway! Dismayed, I scrambled to get the car started and then pulled if off to the side and into the weeds somewhat. It was worth it, though! :D

In the midst of a powerful lake effect snowstorm, not even that can stop the railroads from running! NS 1196 leads the way through at the helm of train 277, passing by the former Mascot Hall of Fame site in Whiting, IN.
Our Sis told us about this trend....and its TRUE!!!! Be sure to check out the vid with sound....couldn't resist (also couldn't figure out how to get a video on here...so the effect isn't full yet! :P )

Beyond Layers - Day 10. I mostly followed Kim's recipe, with some tweaking afterwards.
The lonely boats were spotted whilst on holiday on the west coast of Scotland last year.
Seeing it here, I'm hoping it's not too dark and am trying to convince myself it's 'dramatic' !
fyi:
The lunar influence on human behavior has been termed 'The Lunar Effect' or 'The Transylvania Effect'. The influence of the full moon remains one of the most common explanations for a wide range of bizarre events from deaths to violence in a psychiatric setting.

Shot in the Upper Antelope Canyon, AZ
During the monsoons, rainwater washes down from the basin above these canyons picking up speed and sand. Over millions of years these flash floods have eroded the hard Navajo sandstone and left behind these beautiful, smooth wavy lines.
People can't help but stop in their stride and gaze upwards at the wonder that is Antelope Canyon. The twig above the lady's head was washed into the canyon during the last flash flood.
The above pic hardly does justice to the place (and the fact that my camera boosted the ISO to 3200 doesn't help either). Hopefully my tripod stabilized long exposures will turn out better...

The Butterfly Effect is simply:
If a butterfly flaps its wings in China, would it have an effect on the weather patterns in London? The obvious answer is no. But since every action has an effect on other probabilities... The result is infinite.
Seen @ Utrecht Botanic Gardens, Holland.
The reason for the existence of Sugar Mill Gardens is complex. It is first and foremost, an historic site, where the ruins of the old sugar mill from the former Dunlawton Plantation stand. There is little to be endeared with in that, as it was once a place of slavery and drudgery, greed and a lifestyle built on the backs of others. By the same token, it was a necessary part of life and trade back in the day.
Slaves at one point joined forces with the Seminole Indians during a war between the Indians and settlers. After the second one, the Indians succeeded in burning the mill down. What is left is a shell and remnants of that attack, and a reminder to people that injustice doesn't go unpunished, and labor should be fair and paid for.
During the Civil War, troops from the Confederate army camped in the very spot you're looking at. Their leisure was short lived, and after the war, so was their way of life.
Fast forward about 80 years. The once vast Dunlawton Plantation would be only a memory, but making a profit off this land was still very much in the forefront. As Central Florida's tourism grew, small theme parks depicting the beauty of Florida began to emerge everywhere. Northerners came to see the alligator farm in St. Augustine, and the beach of Daytona was being used as a race track during the early years of NASCAR. Even the old plantation, now reduced to a mere 12 acres, was reinvented as Bongoland, named for Bongo, a baboon that was the caged mascot of the place. (Why a baboon is beyond me, as they are certainly not native to Florida!) Anyway, during this time, people would come and take a tram ride through the park, where some 25 large concrete sculptures of dinosaurs loomed large over the grounds. The ruins were still, there, and people would carve their initials into the coquina to mark their passage through the park and also the anals of time. Children (and adults) would unthinkingly climb on the dinosaurs to take snapshots of their adventures in the Sunshine State.
Bongoland was a fleeting thought in the history of this place, lasting only about four years. Larger and more interesting and more profitable places were springing up all over Florida, drawing attention away from tiny, Bongoland. No one has ever mentioned what happened to poor Bongo. He was probably another victim of the greed that caged him, probably sent to a zoo or something.
Years later, the land was given to the county, and the place was deemed historic, and therefore, worthy of a little maintenance and upkeep. Volunteer gardeners created much of what you see now, and the county, almost too late, began to protect the historic ruins, and the 5 remaining sculptures that hadn't been ravaged to their destruction. Donations are accepted, but no fee is charged to enter.
When I began to come here regularly, a cat named Tigger lived here. Tigger had lived on the premises for many years. His family had left him for the volunteers to take care of, and fortunately, there were those who loved him and fed him. When I met Tigger, I knew he needed more, and began seeing that he got it, taking donations myself from people here on Flickr, from vet care to more food, to flea prevention, but what Tigger really needed was a home. I had to fight for that a little, but I won him, and for the next four years, Tigger was my cat.
There were times when I'd see Tigger looking out the window at the bright, full moon, and I know he was remembering this place, and being the little ruler of it. He'd look at the moon, almost with longing, until I'd open a can of food and he realized he liked it much better without the hundreds of mosquito bites and fights with other cats, and going hungry because a raccoon stole his food and slopped up his water by washing the kibble in it!
Tigger passed away Christmas Eve of 2012, and it's still a little hard for me to go to this place. It's not the same without him there. So I take lots of photos and visit again in a year or two. It is both happy and sad for me to be here, but it's beauty and story, right down to a baboon and a little cat, need to be shared, so I go, and I tell it. Perhaps knowing a bit about Sugar Mill Gardens and the cause and effect of the place will make these photos feel just a little more alive and meaningful to you, too.
This was a crazy single droplet formation that I found interesting whilst playing with the consistency of milk, glycerine and washing up liquid detergent. The double reflection was achieved by using black reflective card and a piece of plain glass to bounce the droplet onto. The yellow colour comes from the washing up liquid and the purple comes from pink and blue gels placed over the 2 speedlites.
As the milk droplet was smaller than an inch in size I struggled with the depth of field when using a 90mm lens, the only compensation I found was to use a narrow aperture and the following camera settings together with a crop.
