Sun was low and the fog was forming as I came down the Coast Range behind our home.
Taken with my Z9 and 70-200mm lens.
Hornbeam foliage forms a veil of green leaded like stained glass with black branches. For how many millennia has the sun illuminated spring leaves for eyes comprehending or otherwise? Just doing the math very roughly, it has been millions of mornings like this, and many thousands in recorded history. But how many of them do you want to see in your life? At this time of year, at similar latitudes, there is one continuous, glorious morning gliding around the planet as it revolves.
And who knows what beauties coalesce silently near where you live every week — enough that the message is the same: go outside! Quick!
There's time to fav this photo when you come back. 😁

After I finished working on my new "Goo Gach" for my key chain today I quickly polished Tiff's and put a hole in it for a key chain ring and then WAM BAM, it was done.
I didn't have to do much to this piece of metal to turn into a little piece of dangling art, just had to clean it up and drill a hole.
Tiff likes her Goo Gach !

The rock formation "Twelve Apostles" in morning light. Australia is still closed for most tourists. So, all we have left are "postcards" like this one.
"Die zwölf Apostel" strahlen in der Morgensonne. Australien ist immer noch für die meisten Touristen geschlossen. Also, bleiben uns nur "Postkarten" wie diese.

Une ghorfa est une sorte de grenier servant à emmagasiner des denrées : des céréales dans la partie basse, des olives et des fromages dans la partie haute. L'aération est assurée par deux trous dans les murs extérieur et intérieur créant un courant d'air. Ces cellules voûtées ont la forme d'un demi-cylindre clos du côté extérieur du ksar et muni d'une porte ouvrant sur la cour. Chaque ksar peut comporter de un à six étages comptant des centaines de ghorfas (en moyenne 200).
A ghorfa is a kind of attic for storing food: grains in the lower part, olives and cheese in the upper part. Aeration is ensured by two holes in the outer and inner walls creating an air flow. These cells have vaulted the form of a closed half-cylinder on the outside of Ksar and has a door opening onto the courtyard. Each ksar can have one to six floors with hundreds of ghorfas (average 200).
An image I’ve been pondering over for a while. It was nearly the first photo to post on my return from the Lakes early November but for some reason I didn’t and moved on to other images, now with 4 seascapes in row it was time to move inland.
....forming one large head of gorgeous blue, I love a summer of hydrangeas in my garden.

Après avoir exposé à Anvers et à Venise, en 1999, l'entreprise a déménagé dans une nouvelle maison connue sous le nom de Kanaal, située à Wijnegem, à vingt minutes à l'est d'Anvers. Construit à l'origine en 1857, le vaste site était un ancien complexe de distillerie et de maltage. L'architecture existante comprenait des entrepôts en briques et des silos à grains en béton situés le long des rives du canal Albert.
Le développement initial du Kanaal comprenait l'installation des bureaux et des studios de l'entreprise. Cela a été rapidement suivi par l'acquisition d'installations artistiques permanentes, telles que celle d'Anish Kapoor, Au bord du monde. Un plan a été conçu pour faire de Kanaal un centre culturel et résidentiel, un processus qui a commencé au début des années 2000.
Les plans de transformation du site se sont appuyés sur le caractère et l'histoire des bâtiments d'origine pour donner à l'ensemble du quartier un nouveau souffle authentique. C'est un trait central de beaucoup de nos projets. Dick Vervoordt a mené un plan ambitieux pour combiner les efforts de trois équipes d'architectes - Bogdan & Van Broeck, Coussée & Goris, Stéphane Beel - avec le paysagiste Michel Desvigne. La qualité de vie était une priorité absolue et les plans ont été conçus pour adapter la conception de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, convertissant les anciens bâtiments en nouveaux espaces de vie et de travail.
En 2017, la galerie anversoise déménage dans un nouvel espace au Kanaal, ouvrant par une rétrospective monumentale de Kazuo Shiraga.
Le premier programme de la galerie comprenait une spécialité dans l'art d'après-guerre et contemporain avec un accent particulier sur l'art d'Europe, du Japon et de Corée, en particulier l'art des mouvements ZERO et Gutai. L'accent mis sur Dansaekhwa a suivi, alors que le programme de la galerie et sa participation à des foires d'art mondiales ont pris de l'importance et que sa liste d'artistes s'est élargie.
After exhibiting in Antwerp and Venice, in 1999 the company moved to a new house known as Kanaal, located in Wijnegem, twenty minutes east of Antwerp. Originally built in 1857, the sprawling site was a former distillery and malting complex. The existing architecture included brick warehouses and concrete grain silos located along the banks of the Albert Canal.
The initial development of the Kanaal included the installation of corporate offices and studios. This was quickly followed by the acquisition of permanent art installations, such as Anish Kapoor's At the Edge of the World. A plan has been devised to make Kanaal a cultural and residential center, a process that began in the early 2000s.
The site's transformation plans have built on the character and history of the original buildings to give the whole area an authentic new lease of life. This is a central feature of many of our projects. Dick Vervoordt led an ambitious plan to combine the efforts of three teams of architects - Bogdan & Van Broeck, Coussée & Goris, Stéphane Beel - with landscaper Michel Desvigne. Quality of life was a top priority and plans were made to adapt the design from the inside out, converting old buildings into new living and working spaces.
In 2017, the Antwerp gallery moved to a new space at Kanaal, opening with a monumental retrospective of Kazuo Shiraga.
The gallery's first program included a specialty in post-war and contemporary art with a particular focus on art from Europe, Japan and Korea, particularly art from the ZERO and Gutai movements. The focus on Dansaekhwa followed, as the gallery's program and its participation in global art fairs grew in importance and its roster of artists grew.

Back in the corner of a barn stuffed full of all manner of junk, I've discovered this setup. It's a table with a couple of formed pieces of metal with holes throughout that I imagine steam goes through. And, then, there are all these forms for different sizes and shapes. I've never seen one of these setup anywhere.
Taking a picture from a stranger is different from other types of photography forms. It's relatively hard to clone those moments again. And that's why this project and all the precious moments become worthy to me.
Lake Matheson was formed about 14,000 years ago from receding glaciers. It is near Franz Josef glacier. It was quite overcast when I was there so I was not able to get the superb reflections that one can catch of the sky in the lake.

Yesterday we took Jessie to her first ballet class. Does she have good form or what? :) Proud of my girl.
She loved the class. It's a once a week class for an hour each Saturday. It's a ballet/tap class, so we have to pick her up some little tap shoes too. She immediately took a liking to one of the other little girls in the class and ended up followed her around and partnering up with her.
A mystery arrival in the garden this year, and in two different locations and colour forms. No idea how they managed to get there either. Ordinarily, birds might be considered the normal culprit but, according to what I've read, birds don't particularly care for them. The name stems from the rather unpleasant aroma when the leaves are bruised or crushed.
Qué verdura tan original y hermosa. Desde hace muchos años esta pieza que parece que ha sido traída de Venus ha estado llamado la atención a la gente en tiendas y mercados, y no me negaréis que sus formas parecen de otro planeta. Una pasada. Que sepáis también que esta geometría tan peculiar se llama geometría fractal, y es demasiado irregular para ser descrito en términos geométricos tradicionales. Pero bueno, es de aquí, y se llama romanesco o romanescu (Brassica oleracea). Esta verdura es de la familia de las Brassicaceae, del grupo itálica. Pero para que nos entendamos es un híbrido entre el conocido brécol y la exquisita coliflor. Leo que fue creado en el Scottish Horticultural Research Institute hace ya más de treinta años.
En España, el romanesco se empezó a conocer en los años 80, pero no en todos los mercados. Hoy por hoy el consumo sigue siendo más escaso que en otros países, y creo que esto debería de cambiar pronto ya que el romanesco presenta unas cualidades nutricionales muy buenas, y creo que puede ser algo que comer divertido para los niños. Posee además mucha fibra, vitaminas (algo más que la coliflor), sales minerales etc, pero destaca su vitamina C. También su contenido en ácido fólico (folatos), potasio y fósforo. El resto lo componen esos compuestos azufrados maravillosos, que son medicina para nuestra salud y que contienen todas las coles (es lo que provoca ese fuerte olor al cocerlas).
El color verde que posee, al igual que el brócoli, lo aporta la fotosíntesis con la luz solar, que incide directamente en la flor de la planta y le hace obtener ese color tan maravilloso.
Esta romanescu es riojana, me la regalaron en Calahorra

Following the purchase of GWR Castle Class No.7029 Clun Castle in January 1966 by Patrick Whitehouse, the locomotive needed a base close to its central West Midlands supporters' base. Whitehouse found space available at Tyseley, on the site of the former GWR depot, and formed 7029 Clun Castle Ltd to own both the locomotive and the rights to stable it at the depot.
In October 1968, 7029 Clun Castle Ltd purchased LMS Jubilee Class No.5593 "Kolhapur". With further locomotives and railway artefacts available as a result of the Beeching Axe, the supporters established the Standard Gauge Steam Trust as a registered educational charity, to preserve and demonstrate the steam locomotives. Following negotiations the trust acquired a long-term lease on a large part of the Tyseley site, and established the Tyseley Collection which still owns the locomotives and artefacts via the limited company, the depot site became the "Birmingham Railway Museum".
The trust cleared buildings and repaired the dilapidated tracks, and two water columns were repaired to allow steam locomotives to stay at the site. In 1968 the old coaling stage was converted into a two-road shed with an inspection pit to hold both acquired locomotives. In November 1966 Clun Castle was stripped and restored.
In 1999 the trust achieved its long-held objective of running a regular steam train service on the national main line railway network: the Shakespeare Express between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford-upon-Avon. At this point the trust felt that the term museum was inappropriate for its new status, and hence separated its assets and operations into two new organisations, Tyseley Locomotive Works and the operating arm Vintage Trains, with the third arm remaining the Tyseley Collection.
These Tree V Fold photographs show trees forming a fantastic figure fashioned from branches and leaves.
The sign with birds in silhouette both open and closed catches the eye and makes for a great positive message as you walk from the Car Park to the Visitor’s Centre. I was very pleased with the single image and also with the joining of images which immediately offered two variants. The two variants were either the original full frame joining forming a Tree V Fold, or a sharper incised cut to make a more precise V Fold at the centre of the pictures.
The Sun and Winter go very well together. Bright and strong the shadow making light built everything, well photographically at least. This is a great place with excellent cafe and visitor’s centre making a superb human reaction to help wildlife. This place is a reserved world of natural wonders nestled in amongst our modern pressures of life and living that often overlook wildlife and the chance to be calmer and closer to the land, water and sky and also to those that never left the cycle of seasonal lifestyle.
