One of the most relaxed Timbers I have ever encountered. Snakes were climbing up on rocks all around me on this surreal foggy morning.
In the foreground is St Helen's Bishopsgate which dates from the 12th century and is located just off Bishopsgate. It is the largest surviving parish church in the City of London and it contains more monuments than any other church in Greater London except Westminster Abbey, hence it is sometimes referred to as the "Westminster Abbey of the City".
It was the parish church of William Shakespeare when he lived in the area in the 1590s.
St Helen's was one of only a few City of London churches to survive both the Great Fire of London of 1666 and the Blitz during World War II, however in 1992 and 1993, the church was badly damaged by two IRA bombs that were set off nearby. The roof of the building was lifted and one of the City's largest medieval stained glass windows was shattered. The church has since been fully restored although many of the older monuments within it were entirely destroyed. The architect Quinlan Terry, an enthusiast of Georgian architecture, designed the restoration along Reformation lines.
The church was designated a Grade I-listed building on 4 January 1950.

Foreground exposure pushed because when the ducks came into the picture the lower right was in shadow. One of those moments that is more fun to experience than share as a photo. But it's worth posting because it was fun.

Trenton Owen and Makayla Sherwood sit on the new wooden benches in front of Lentz-Carter Cafe in Stella, MO on March 5.
I had an idea for a series of diptychs like this, but; a) I keep forgetting to take the background shot, b) I'm not sure it really works
I focused on the plant and set the aperture to be wide open at 2.8, and it gave me a smooth blur on the background. I boosted color green in LR.
Alaska: Sterling Highway from Seward Highway junction towards Soldotna (Kenai Peninsula, set 5 of 20)... It rained pretty hard as we left Seward, but began to clear as we reached the Sterling Highway Junction at Tern Lake.
In this picture, I loved how the ice and lake in the foreground are really interesting because of the matte (ice) and reflective (pond). The trees in the middle ground were an interesting vertical to the flatness of the lake. The mountains in the background are not given justice with my camera, but the blue of the Colorado mountains contrasts with the golden color of the dead grass.
