Shot this on the way home the day I got my Canon EOS R5 this was one of the test shots off the new camera, while at the camera store I also bought a new carbon fiber Gitzo tripod, and a Gitzo ball head to go with it, so had a great time with a new camera and tripod :) forgot to get a cable release while i was there so this was shot on self timer so it would not get camera shake from pressing the button , shutter speed at 8 seconds. I would like to note all my shots are setup in manual mode, I do use auto focus, but that is all, so it felt strange to use the self timer to fire the shot. Canons auto focus is lightning fast and works great so mostly do use the auto focus, it does have a problem with very low light focusing. so like on my 5d mark IV in very low light have to manual focus, A, three stop glass graduated neutral density filter was used to even out the light in the sky to the light in the darker zones, final corrections done in photoshop

Lyrics:
Great titles do nothing Beautiful slogans mean nothing Love is a sentimental hodgepodge Write, look, die, fight, then lose it We're familiar with battles and numbers We've got no chance to win alone This sick ambition up closle will turn any plan into ashes We're familiar with battles and numbers We've got no chance to win alone And it's not worth it anymore, we've become void There's an emptiness all around, maybe we'll fill it up We'll replace sweet lies with truth The emptiness will disappear, we'll fill it up together Out of breath The pulse quickens Out of breath The pulse quickens Great titles do nothing They'll not see their own pride The ego got lost in its thoughts, exits, profits Too much loss In love with numbers, drinks, exposed to another shot This sick ambition up closle will turn any plan into ashes We're familiar with battles and numbers We've got no chance to win alone And it's not worth it anymore, we've become void There's an emptiness all around, maybe we'll fill it up We'll replace sweet lies with truth The emptiness will disappear, we'll fill it up together And it's not worth it anymore, we've become void There's an emptiness all around, maybe we'll fill it up We'll replace sweet lies with truth The emptiness will disappear, we'll fill it up together Out of breath The pulse quickens Out of breath The pulse quickens
About four years ago. Dogwoods (Cornus florida) produce lots of flower buds in late fall, or they become obvious then. They wait until the time is right, and open up, exposing four large bracts, and a couple of dozen or so small flowers, if all goes well.
Thank you for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
Winter's drought exposed the river's rocks,
Spring rain will conceal them once again.

"Go with the flow" has become such a cliche these days. However, we can take it literally this summer when it comes to our many local waterfalls. Walters Falls usually has quite a rush of water flowing over it's edge. Right now, the flow is split between two smaller streams going over the edge. I was mesmerized by the smaller stream in the corner of the exposed cliff. If we don't get some substantial rain soon, this may even be dried up before long.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

Yes, the forest nemesis. Not overly big one's, just enough to trip the trekker. Apart from that, they contrast well with the path ahead in both colour and growth.

This is the flat and relatively wide area of the pass, which, under the snow, hides the Pramollo lake/Stausee, which is a shallow artificial basin where the water, coming out of the soaked peat bog that characterizes the surrounding land, converges.
Peat is a deep and water-rich soil, with these characteristics it has helped the Spruce (Picea abies or Picea excelsea) to stay quite healthy despite the many dry and extremely hot summers (even at high altitudes).
Elsewhere this tree, a prevalent component of the Siberian taiga and widespread in the inner Alpine valleys, is suffering from parasites and lichens that attack this tree weakened by a soil that has become progressively poorer and too hot in summer.
A high percentage of this species has already died, especially in the sloping areas where water is scarcer, the land more exposed to the sun and generally to the wind that on October 29, 2018 (Vaia/Scirocco Storm) caused a domino effect of these weakened trees, especially between Carnia, Comelico and Cadore.

It is precisely on the slopes that the Spruce/red Fir/Norway Spruce would be most useful, as an anti-landslide, thanks to its ability to root widely and deeply, but the moist and fresh soil it needs is now only found in the valleys with marked thermal inversion or in these high mountain areas where the snow is still abundant and resilient, while peat, as mentioned, is very useful in this case.

To facilitate the arrival of Italian skiers, the Austrian resort helps clear the snow from the small, winding road, that leads to Nassfeld from Pontebba and with its snowcats spreads fresh snow on a cross-country ski run, which is also a pedestrian path, (despite the disagreements...), which makes an 8 in this area, all in Italian territory, and thanks to them, it must be said, this pass is almost always reachable, even in the middle of winter, effectively cleared after a snowstorm and easily walkable and skiable thanks to the compressed snow.

The amount of light that can damage your eyes depends on the brightness of the light and how long you're exposed to it:
Sunlight
Staring directly at the sun for even a few seconds can cause permanent retinal damage.
Dim light
Staring directly into a dim light, like a reading light, for more than a few seconds can cause discomfort.
Chronic exposure
Exposure to light that's not as intense over days or weeks can also cause permanent eye damage. This is called photo-oxidative damage and can injure the retina.
The iris, the coloured part of your eye, is your eye's main defence against bright light. When intense light hits your eye, the iris constricts your pupil to protect your retina.
Snow blindness, also known as photokeratitis, is a painful eye condition that occurs when the cornea is exposed to too much ultraviolet (UV) light: Snow blindness is a type of sunburn that affects the eyes. It's caused by damage to the cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye, from UV rays.

Some of you may recall that I broke the news on this top secret government facility located deep in the Snoqualmie forest and I've been broadcasting from a mobile van ever since to avoid the FBI and Guantanamo .... Actually it's a water pump station but it was love at first sight. I walked past this again Saturday and remembered that this shot never made the show so I blew the dust off of it. If you haven't seen it, check out 'the Fantabulous Contrapulator in comments, it's WAY up there in my favorite shots all time. Happy Windows Wednesday!

(I originally processed this photo in ON1 Photo Raw, which I was testing at the time. But frankly this update from Lightroom is better--more pleasing and natural colors and no artifacts from denoise. Think my experiment with ON1 is over.)
The 1st day of our trip had us heading for Reykjanes. The previous evening we managed to see the erupting volcano with a bit of ducking and diving around the security but it was all perfectly legal what we did and being with responsible adults I knew I was in safe hands. lol. We arrived at the Lighthouse to windy conditions. Our Co-Driver promptly jumped out of the car to ascertain what way the wind was blowing. (Always a stickler for accuracy) so we could get the steam at its best.
Trebarwith Strand Beach is a west-facing beach near Tintagel, Cornwall. It is a sandy beach with scenic, rocky peripheral areas, sitting at the end of a picturesque valley. At high tide the beach is entirely reclaimed by the sea. At low tide it is a fine family beach which also offers good surfing. So if the tides recede like over here, it makes for a fantastic beach to walk amid the rocks...

Thanks for viewing and have a nice week ahead!
No use of filters in this shot, just f/16 with 3 bracketed exposures,nothing i like better is to come down to this wonderful place as the tide was coming in, i know i have shot this loads of times but i'm just capturing an image with some nice movement, the light was also fading fast hence the under exposed shot at f/16 was about 4 seconds, giving that foreground just enough movement, i think the same shot taken with 1 normal exposure would not give you the same effect, it really is worth while practicing these type of seascape images, you never know what you might achieve

As I was shooting my first test exposure, this giant bolt shot down from the cloud, and I captured it, over-exposed and (frustratingly) out of focus.
I got three more frames with less exciting (but properly exposed and focused) sticks, but just 7 minutes after I arrived, rain started coming down in sheets so I split.
