This fjord lies away from the beaten tourist routes, but the sceneries that it generously provides to those, who reached it, do not yield to the most famous places ...
It is reached by a narrow serpentine Panoramic road in the area of the Northern fjord.

'With a Big heart and generous Hands' is a macro photograph of a leaf. it is a part of a series called 'Green World.'
Castro's is a small bar, but popular with east-end crowd. 'The Reverend' is not a great singer or a mesmerizing trumpet player. He is fun, has charisma and showmanship. His band is excellent. They play for the tip jar and when people have fun, they are generous.
The Sunday Blues was very joyful with the help of Mike Sedgewick (guitar), Mark Ansara (drums) and bass player Justin Snikkar and Walter on vocals and trumpet. Paul Renaud (harp) and Janet Christie (violin) guesting on few tunes. Castro's is around for over 35 year, the historic photos (over 200) on the wall feature Lenin, Marx, Che, Ghandi, Churchil, but not Putin yet. Of course Fidel is on few of them.

The Throne Hospital was established due to the generosity of the Martin family, whose wealth was derived from the Shrigley flax spinning mills. Samuel Martin conceived the idea of establishing a children's hospital in a rural district close to the City of Belfast.
Although he died in 1872, his philanthropic wishes were honoured: 28 acres of land were purchased and a children's hospital with 32 beds was built at a cost of £4,000 to the designs of the architect T. Hevey. It opened to patients in 1874.
The site must have been wonderful back then - situated on the lower escarpment of the Cavehill, and commanding an uninterrupted view of Belfast Lough. Today the building has been converted to offices, confined to a cramped site, and surrounded by the Greater Belfast urban sprawl.
In the first annual report of the Throne Children's Hospital for year ending 1876, it is recorded that 121 patients were admitted, of whom 44 were deemed cured, 41 relieved, 29 incurable, 4 died and 3 were discharged for bad conduct!

If you‘re into older lenses it seems to be a good idea to not give up on them too quickly and grant them a second or third chance… they might surprise you! This lens came, quite beaten and somewhat strange looking, and when it didn’t shine during the first testshots, I put it down, thinking it just might not be worth the effort. But because it‘s part of an upcoming article I‘m working on, I decided to use it a bit more in order to get a more consistent impression. Glad to admit my initial impression seems to have been completely wrong. It turned out to be a very interesting, capable and unique little lens.
Maybe it would be a good idea to extend that generosity to fellow humans as well… but what do I know about them? 😅

It is a truly magnificent thing, a testament to the generosity and kindness that exists within us all. When we give to others, we are not only helping them, but we are also helping ourselves. There is a certain sense of satisfaction that comes with knowing that you have made a positive impact on someone else's life.
Supporting each other is equally beautiful. When we offer our support to others, we are letting them know that they are not alone. We are telling them that we are here for them, no matter what. This can be an incredibly powerful message, especially during times of difficulty and struggle.
To all of those who practice giving and supporting each other in their everyday lives, I extend my heartfelt thanks. Your kindness and compassion are truly inspiring. Your actions remind us all of the goodness that exists in the world, and they serve as a reminder of what we can achieve when we work together.
So here's to all of the givers and supporters out there. You are making the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. Thank you for all that you do!

Richard Tatti generously provided some NEF files to download nd follow along with his edit in a recent YouTube video: www.nightscapeimages.com.au/workshops---online.html
With travel restrictions in place (and thunderstorms anyway) I thought I would have a go. I set out with the intention of creating a different shot to Richard rather than trying to re-create it, which is not to say I don't like his original! In fact I probably would not normally edit this shot in the same way if it were mine! Richard used a Nikon Z6 and 20mm f/1.8 S lens, 9 sky shots and 3 light painted foreground shots. I used Sequator to stack the sky images (as per the video) and Photoshop to combine the result with 2 of the 3 foreground light painted shots.
Rootzz 4worldpeace! generously allowed me access to his photostream to play with a new plug-in called Fractalius. Thank you so much; it was lots of fun! I'm posting 3 of his photos [with his permission] this morning. A beautiful surprise appeared when I played with this one; a cat face in the wings above the butterfly's back. :-)

There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.

Joel Meyerowitz. "Color photography satisfies the generosity of the moment. While black and white reduces that to a kind of figuration. Color is an expressive force."
Color film photography carries an emotion. Subtle tonal and chromatic shifts change the atmosphere of the image thus affect a change in the mood of the viewer.
Film renders the scene in a Sfumato manner, softening contours and forms rather than the sharp edged contrasty digital photos.

It's a nice emulsion, but having seen KodaChrome images and photos printed in the CarBro manner and CibaChrome dye process I am left wanting.
Addendum: I am pleasantly surprised that this shot was well accepted. I happened to like it very much, but didn’t think what I saw would translate to the viewer. Which goes to prove what Henry Winkler said: “Always trust your tummy. You can argue with your mind, but always trust your tummy.” Great saying.
These gorgeous handmade ornaments were given me by a generous, grand and artistic friend! Though there are 4 photos, two of them are a view of the same ornament. These three glorious creations are on the Christmas tree at Riversong, our Alabama home on the Elk River. The other three are on the Christmas tree at Lagniappe, our home in New Orleans! I couldn't not bear to leave all in New Orleans, and I expect the other three will be coming back here to reside on the big tree for the rest of the holidays! But OH! How we are enjoying them on each tree! Such sparkle to catch the eye, and remind us of those we love!

Have a nice weekend folks!
No need to comment, since I may not be on Flickr this weekend, I just needed to have these images uploaded ;)
They were edited with the new Christmas presets from the generous Dino ;)
After the generous snowfalls last weekend due to the visit of the low pressure system named Monica, the Sierra de Guadarrama looked beautiful on a very sunny day.
This is the view from Madrid, with La Moraleja in the foreground.
The straight line distance from this location to the mountains is approximately 27 miles (44 km).
With temperatures rising over the past few days, much of the snow has already melted, a real boon for our reservoirs, which are currently above 84 percent capacity.

La Sierra de Guadarrama después de las nevadas de la semana pasada, Madrid, España
Después de las generosas nevadas del pasado fin de semana por la visita del sistema de bajas presiones bautizado como Mónica, la Sierra de Guadarrama lucía preciosa en un día muy soleado.
Esta es la vista desde Madrid, con La Moraleja en primer plano.
La distancia en línea recta desde este lugar hasta las montañas es de aproximadamente 44 km.
Con el aumento de las temperaturas durante los últimos días, gran parte de la nieve ya se ha derretido, algo realmente beneficioso para nuestros embalses, que actualmente se encuentran por encima del 84 por ciento de su capacidad.

Leos are creative, passionate, generous, warm-hearted, cheerful and humorous.
Known for their loyalty and generosity towards friends and loved ones. They often go out of their way to make grand gestures and show appreciation.
Passionate, intense, and fiery, Leo loves hard. For Leos, love itself—whether falling in love, thinking about love, making love—is one of their favorite things in the world. A busy Lion will always make sure that there's plenty of time for passion in his or her life

"So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish" by A Perfect Circle
Time is money, money's time
We wasted every second dime
On politicians, fancy water, and guns, and plastic surgery
Like our Prince and Reenie's mom
All the dolphins have moved on
Signaling the final curtain call in all its atomic pageantry
Bravissimo, hip hip hurray
What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away
Under the mushroom cloud confetti
I bought myself a Nikon D3300 yesterday - I had been tempted to test it for a long time. Doing some macro in the yard yesterday was so much fun ! And so many more tricks to learn from it. Just look at the EXIF to check on technical data my friends. 😊🍀💕

and I ask for nothing more for myself.

Remember early last year when Storm Freya paid an energetic visit to our shores one feisty weekend at the beginning of March? Possibly not; after all the storms seem to roll in one after another towards the end of the winter around here. This year it was the same, with Ciara, Dennis and Jorge arriving from the west to enliven February. Apparently the last one was due to be named Ellen in keeping with the alphabetical sequencing theme, but our friends in Spain saw it first and gave it a more continental flavour. We do get a lot of storms along the west coast of the British Isles. At least they had the decency to arrive at the weekends to bring a bit of drama to our photographic adventures.
Freya was also a weekend visitor, and it seemed rude not to head five miles down the road to Portreath to watch the action, elbow to elbow with a generous number of fellow camera wielding visitors as is always the case when the weather gets a bit exciting here. Eventually I managed to entrench myself in my favorite corner of the few square yards that provide this vantage point. In this chosen spot you can watch incoming rollers that race towards the inner harbour drench the unsuspecting viewers on the edge of the quay below as you wonder whether you should have warned them (although I suspect they're aware and they do it for fun). Occasionally one of the bigger waves will carry enough force to even reach our lofty position so you have to be ready to spin through one hundred and eighty degrees and crouch down rapidly to protect your precious camera equipment. It doesn't matter how weatherproof the camera is. Sea waterproof it is not.
On this visit I didn't bother with a tripod - a rare thing - and I set the camera in burst mode. This resulted in sifting through almost 700 RAW files later in the day, from which I picked a few. Sometimes I feel that the more fun I have actually taking the shots, the less pleasure it brings when I have to decide which of the fruits of my labour I'm going to work with. Until recently I'd left the folder full of images untouched, but just a few days ago I decided I needed to clear some space on the laptop. 700 files became a still confusing 28, which made this morning's happy little spell of absent minded pottering about in Lightroom slightly easier than it otherwise would have been. It's still challenging, because every image I've kept has a different aspect that catches my eye. What I liked about this one was the curtain of water cascading from the harbour wall.
The are probably still one or two more I might share from this session. Once I've furrowed my brow at the remaining 27 shots in confusion that is.
Happy Sunday Flickr friends.
