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.

Этот фьорд лежит в стороне от проторенных туристических маршрутов, но виды, которые он щедро предоставляет тем, кто до него добрался, не уступают самым раскрученным ...
Достигается же он по узкой серпантинной Панорамной дороге в районе Северного фьорда.

This is not a scenic area, 😂 which is a peasant's cash crop, Planted in the middle of a paddy field, Generous peasants, Free for tourists to visit and photography. Taiwan media reports, Saplings purchase price of about $ 67, 10 years later sold for $ 670.
這不是風景區，😂 這是農民的經濟作物，種植在一片稻田的中央，慷慨的農民，免費讓遊客參觀和攝影。台灣媒體報導，樹苗購入價格大約2000台幣，10年後以2萬台幣售出。

Exhibit no. 4 of my Fern Fronds (photo-art) exhibition on the spectacular staghorn fern was generously selected for the 'Flickr Macro Explore' May 2021 takeover day.
The exhibit style presents a bold purple, red and yellow-orange colour mix, as well as showing the leaves that stem from the frond. As such the exhibit, in celebrating Art, Nature, and Colour, is well informed by photographic 'style' (as are all exhibits in this series).
To recall, 'style' is basically the way a photographer or ‘photoartist’ portrays the subject matter and expresses her or his vision, through the composition, which, here, stresses shape, texture, and colour.
On the latter, as the main emphasis, the staghorn fern frond is showed off in aesthetic (or beautiful) variants of green, yellow, pink and purple, and orange, as common to rare colours in nature.
In this exhibit, again, inverse colours of red, purple, and yellow-orange are introduced in moving more to the colour ‘inside’ nature).
On our subject, again, the staghorn fern, again, is an epiphyte or ‘air plant’ that grows without soil. Instead, it lives on host trees by using a tree’s branches to anchor itself.
It does not live off its host, instead the large, shield-like frond at the front curves outward to collect water and organic matter as it falls from above, as well as protecting the plant's roots, which also offers design ideas for environmental sustainability around eco-architecture perhaps.
For a good idea of the whole plant and more info: see: wimastergardener.org/article/staghorn-fern-platycerium-bi...
I hope you enjoy Exhibit 4 here, and in Flickr's photo-art online exhibition.

I'm excited to share that I've been working with the amazingly talented Nondol Jameson of KraftWork on a new decor set entitled "Skippy's Christmas Eve" which will be available at the beginning of December. I'm wearing Santa's Jacket and Hat, which are both part of the upcoming collection!
In addition, Skippy was inspired by the following incredible creations:

Keep shining bright, my friends!
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? 😅

How generous you are, Earth,
and how strong is your yearning for your children
lost between that which they have attained
and that which they could not obtain.
We clamor and you smile; we flit but you stay!
We extract your elements to make cannons and bombs,
but out of our elements you create lilies and roses.

I am strong in his hands
I am beyond me
On my own I'm human
And I do faults
I do confess
I feel you trickling
Down my shoulders
From above
I turn myself in
I give myself up
Volunteer
You own me : I'm yours
You have to trust it
I'm eternally yours
All that I gave them
I gave to you
So needy of comfort
But too raw to be embraced
Undo this privacy
And put me in my place
Generous palm stroke
The hugest of hugs
Undo this privacy
Embrace
I am strong in his hands
I am above
Way beyond me
I, con
She's strong in his hands
She is beyond her
On her own she is human
And she does faults

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.

I wanted to thank all of you for your continued kindness and support. Your thoughtful comments, your generous awards and stars, and your heartfelt messages encourage me to keep shining my light. Your amazing designs and incredible images inspire me and make me feel so happy to be part of this talented community of creators. I'm grateful to be part of a universe where we use our power for good, helping to lift each other up. Everyone has an important message to share, and each one of us can make a difference. And when we work together, we really can change the world.
Keep creating and sharing, my friends!
(And I’m pretty sure I made enough treats for all of you too!)

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.

True belonging is not passive. It's not the belonging that comes with just joining a group. It's not fitting in or pretending or selling out because it's safer. It's a practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are.
Dr. Brené Brown
Belongingness entails an unwavering commitment to not simply tolerating and respecting difference, but to ensuring that all people are welcome and feel that they belong.
John A. Powell
Today, if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Theresa, Saint Teresa of Calcutta
The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don't talk anymore, they don't sit down to talk and listen. They go to the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, update their status on the internet, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories
Paulo Coelho
We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, ‘It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.
Fred Rogers
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill
When we choose to wonder about people we don’t know, when we imagine their lives and listen for their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see as part of us.
Valarie Kaur
We must remain hopeful that a universal ethic of courage, caring, sharing, respect, radical compassion, and love will make a difference. We can never be too generous or too kind.
Marc Bekoff
I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life — whoever you are, whatever our differences.
