Summer's evening looking out from the back of my house, across the fields from Emley Village towards Emley Moor, West Yorkshire, UK. 2018.

Taken in the 'China: Through the Looking Glass' exhibition (May-September 2015).
This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.
From the earliest period of European contact with China in the sixteenth century, the West has been enchanted with enigmatic objects and imagery from the East, providing inspiration for fashion designers from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent, whose fashions are infused at every turn with romance, nostalgia, and make-believe. Through the looking glass of fashion, designers conjoin disparate stylistic references into a pastiche of Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions.
The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. Filmic representations of China are incorporated throughout to reveal how our visions of China are framed by narratives that draw upon popular culture, and also to recognize the importance of cinema as a medium through which to understand the richness of Chinese history.

I was lucky enough to see how wonderful the evenings can be in the "skärgård" outside of Stockholm.

Fotografía realizada hace un par de años por estas fechas, en la sierra de la mosca, en Cáceres. Durante una tarde de lluvia y pequeños nublados, a última hora de la tarde se pudieron sacar fotografías con una luz interesante.

Se trata de una Abubilla, ave que todo el mundo conoce por su canto y por sus colores tan característicos. En está fotografía se le puede ver en primer plano en posición de “alerta” en un posadero y con una luz de fondo muy bonita. Es un ave diurna y territorial, habitan en regiones secas, bosques claros y campos cultivados. La ubicación de sus nidos suele ser huecos de árboles, tejados, paredes… Incuba la hembra, que permanece en el nido desde el comienzo de la puesta y es alimentada por el macho.

Went for a much needed but chilly walk with my daughter. Stopped for a quick evening portrait by the church close to our home.
Despite a mistiness over the Donegal hills there was still a glare from the sun which cast this lovely evening light on the promenade. A short walk on the prom was a delightful way to end a busy day.
The view across the Docklands, Victoria Harbour and Melbourne's western suburbs from the Rialto Towers.
The company I work for took us on a retreat in Kananaskis Country. The lodge we stayed at was nestled in these mountains and to the right. A magnificent place, when the others left for home I stayed long into the night to capture the awesome view that was coming.
Lately I have been drawn to take more photos in black & white. For some reason I find a strong sense of depth in it despite the fact that thistle has a beautiful purple colour. The bee just wanted to be part of the image...a bonus. Thanks for stopping by!

Waiting at the Woodley Park metro for the night to begin.
(Yes yes, we'll be back to Scotland pictures tomorrow.)
(Also, can I just mention again how much I love my 35mm lens?)
(More details later, as time permits)
***************************
As I've noted in other sets of photos here on Flickr, I've been lucky enough to visit Rome dozens of times since I first celebrated a solitary birthday there back in 1972. Since then, I've often come alone (usually on business trips to lecture about various aspects of software development), and I've sometimes managed to bring various children and/or my wife. This time, like many other trips, I was alone.
On most of my trips, I make a point of visiting Piazza del Popolo at least once -- because there are always interesting scenes to photograph, with a combination of tourists, students, lovers, and amateur musicians. This time, there was a Michael Jackson impersonator -- who, at least from a distance, seemed to mimic MJ's fluid moves pretty well. And there was an electric guitarist, but it turned out that he could only play instrumentals -- and he tended to play the same songs, over and over again.
I photographed people in Piazza del Popolo on the first and last days of my visit; but I also spent a couple hours in Piazza Santa Margarita in Trastevere, where there was a wedding underway. And I strolled a block or two from my hotel to Piazza Cavour, where the entire piazza had been off-limits for years because of reconstruction work. But the reconstruction is over, the piazza is open, and I was lucky enough to be there during the "golden hour" before sunset, where I got some interesting photos of the local people enjoying a balmy early-summer evening.
On Sunday morning, I decided to visit the enormous "flea market" at Porta Portensa, where I did my best to get a few interesting shots of the shoppers, tourists, and long rows of merchant stalls filled with various forms of cheap, tacky merchandise. It was quite an experience...
As I have on past occasions, I took thousands of photos during my week-long visit, from which I select a few dozen to upload to Flickr. Hopefully they'll give you a sense of what it's like here in the Eternal City ...
Some pictures of a very relaxed weekend. No commitments, no appointments, no visits. Almost like a wellness weekend for the soul.
Beautiful evening, thinking of you!
Louis Armstrong - When You Wish Upon A Star
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is to extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
As sweet fullfillment of their secret drowns
Like a boat out of the blue
Fate steps in and see's you through
Moma when you wished upon a star
Your dreams come true
(instrumental break)
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
As sweet fullfillment of their secret drowns
Like a boat out of the blue
Fate steps in and see's you through
Baby when you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
When you wished upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Your dreams come true
