Otro de esos lugares random que nos encontramos de ruta por el Valle de Bujaruelo fue este por donde una de las cientos de cascadas que caían por las laderas de las montañas entre los colores del otoño, niebla y lluvia. Junto a @rafadiez78 y @fotomiguelortiz

Típica foto de las Islas Lofoten. Pero esta es muy especial para mí. Ha pasado justo un año desde que la tomé. Sabiendo que un virus empezaba a atemorizar el mundo. Pero no pensábamos que sería para tanto. Tal vez habríamos valorado más esos momentos, aunque disfruté de cada rincón en el que estuvimos. Espero poder volver algún día no muy tardío.

Behind the Lens - Global Creative Photography Project: Week 16 : Depth of Field/Bokeh
"Night Blossoms" - Pyrmont Bridge, Darling Harbour.

I took this shot for the Behind the Lens: Global Creative Photography Project. The theme for week 10 is Organic/Natural. To me this is almost as organic and natural as it gets. These little mushrooms are about an inch tall and were found growing out of a small nurse log on the forest floor of an old growth stand. Soon to be frozen and return to organic material themselves these little guys show the more fragile and incredibly intricate part of our natural world.
The theme this week for the the Behind the Lens - Global Creative Photography Project is cuisine!
A big thanks to Kristen for preparing the waffles and helping me set up the shot. Thanks to Evelyn for making the batter! They were so tasty!
Enjoy!

Cool, cold and refreshing.
For the Global Creative Photography Project theme "Advertising".
This shot from the Bridge Cafe, a great little coffee shop with some very funky furniture and pleasant owners in Shoreditch, East London. Worth while seeking this place out if you are in the area!
I had the opportunity to do a little exploring on the Sunshine Coast earlier in the summer...
The Mt. Steele Cabin sits in a beautiful alpine meadow just below the summit of Mt. Steele in Tetrahydron Provincial Park.

Sorry it's late - internet issues!
Hello dear friends!
Its been quiet for a while, I just moved to a new city so its been very busy in RL. Not going anywhere though, lots of plans!
There is something important I want to share my thoughts of with you all. AI generated images.
Please pay attention to that wording. I said images. Not Art.
When Artificial Intelligence is proven sentient, yes, I would love to know if robots dream about electric sheep. But for now, lets be precise.... all these AI image generations create nothing, they take images from the collective global creative community, mix them and offer you the mix. Its not creation, its not art. Its stealing. The artists are not credited or paid.
This endangers the livelihood of people like me, who have invested their life in creating a distinctive style.
Unethical customers and websites that sell artwork wont care if its AI or not, they will care its fast and cheap.
Support real artists. AI prompters are not artists, AI generated images are not art.
A nascent global movement is rising, originating in Artsation's tepid minimum effort response to the artists outrage at seeing AI images featured on the site. This is the beginning. AI generated images need to be regulated.
Creativity and Art are one of humanities defining traits. These images endanger these human defining traits.
Artists are not against AI in general, or even against AI images. They can have a few good uses even to artists. They are against the AI generators blatantly stealing their artwork and the prevailing schadenfreude that can be seen in some communities at artists outrage, and having this stolen art images being sold as real art.
Support real art. Yeah, we all play with AI images. But remember that this is not art, they are a soup of stolen references from real artists that spent collectively many millennia perfecting their skills and styles.

This is an East African land snail, photographed in Hawaii and now used for the Global Creative Photography Project's theme for this week: MACRO.
Before posing this shot I did a little research...
This East African land snail is known as one of the worst invasive species in the world. In recent times, the land snails have been kept as pets; however, they are now illegal to possess in many countries including the United States. Since arriving in Hawaii in 1936 from Japan this species has been a nuisance and a pest on many of the Hawaiian islands and numerous predators to the snail have been introduced to try and kill it off.
Apparently this strategy isn't working too well as this little guy was not alone where we found him at the Dole Plantation on Oahu.

Todays challenge in Our Daily Challenge is: Odd... well this certainly fits the bill.
There is a story to this shot though...sort of.
Some time ago, it was decided that there would be a "fish day" in the 365 Community Group. That day was going to be November 30. The idea behind the fish day was that there was these "Fortune Fish" that were mailed out to anyone who wanted one/some and that they were to take a shot of these fish and contribute them to the group all on the same day...November 30. I signed up for my fish and had decided that my shot of the fish would entail hanging them on a "clothesline" to mimic the old Maritime tradition of drying salt cod on a clothesline. I even found these tiny little clothespegs at a Dollar/craft store that are less than an inch long and very colorful. Unfortunately, my fish didn't get here in time to post a shot for November 30 but they did arrive the other day. So today, my shot with the fish and clothesline for the 365 Community and that all led to this....LOL! Talk about the long way around... This is from the thought of how far we have come from the days of hanging negatives on a clothesline (sort of) to dry...
So, after all that explanation, this very "story" also fits the topic of "odd"... LOL!!
Also added to Behind the Lens: Global Creative Photography Project: Out of Place
I included the fish shot below...
Another idea for a series is shaping up here... LOL!! 100 shots on a clothesline...hhmmm??

A long exposure photograph taken by myself during the Vivid Sydney Festival 2015 from the old Pyrmont Bridge which is now a walk bridge from the heart of Sydney to Darling Harbour, a popular venue for tourists.
This image shows the Ferris Wheel alight and in motion and the pretty and illuminated buildings at Darling Harbour including the Novetel Hotel, which had light projections of various colors changing all the time.

I took this shot for Our Daily Challenge: Starts with W. (Wish, water, white)
This turned out even better than I'd hoped for...
I hope everyone is having a great week so far!
This photo sparked a curiosity in me to find the origin of wishing wells and such things. Here is what I found thanks to Wikipedia:
A wishing well is a term from European folklore to describe wells where it was thought that any spoken wish would be granted. The idea that a wish would be granted came from the idea that water housed deities or had been placed there as a gift from the gods, since water was a source of life and often a scarce commodity.
The Germanic and Celtic peoples considered springs and wells sacred places.[1] Sometimes the places were marked with wooden statues possibly of the god associated with the pool. Germanic peoples were known to throw the armour and weapons of defeated enemies into bogs and other pools of water as offerings to their gods.
Water was seen to have healing powers and therefore wells became popular with many people drinking, bathing or just simply wishing over it. People believe that the guardians or dwellers of the well would grant them their wish if they paid a price. After uttering the wish, one would generally drop coins in the well. That wish would then be granted by the guardian or dweller, based upon how the coin would land at the bottom of the well. Traditionally coins were made of copper or silver and had biocidal properties which kept the water from going sour (bacteria produces various acidic compounds which affect the taste, notably Hydrogen sulfide). It was thus lucky to throw coins in the well.
The tradition of dropping pennies in ponds and fountains stems from this. Coins would be placed there as gifts for the deity to show appreciation.
In November 2006 the "Fountain Money Mountain" reported that tourists throw just under 3 million pounds per year into wishing wells.
This may be a left over from ancient mythology such as Mímir's Well from Nordic myths, also known as the ¨Well of Wisdom¨, a Well that could grant you infinite wisdom provided you sacrificed something you held dear. Odin was asked to sacrifice his right eye which he threw into the well to receive not only the wisdom of seeing the future but the understanding of why things must be. Mímir is the Nordic god of wisdom, and his well sits at the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree which draws its water from the well.
(just in case anyone else in curious....)

June 2015, I went into the City of Sydney to view firsthand the spectacular VIVID SYDNEY, a festival of light, patterns, music and ideas.
This image is one of my long exposure photographs of the bright and colorful projections of light on the Sydney Opera House. These colorful projections were continuously changing making Sydney Harbour look like a piece of art.
Coloring the city with creativity and inspiration, Vivid Sydney highlights include the hugely popular immersive light installations and projections; Vivid Aquatique immersive water theatre; performances from local and international musicians at Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House and the Vivid Ideas Exchange featuring public talks and debates from leading global creative thinkers.
The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centers in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the north-eastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and inland by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Last Monday I got up early before work and took a few photos around the city. This shot of the Lions Gate Bridge shows traffic coming in and out of the city center through Stanley Park.
Opening in 1938, the Lions Gate Bridge crosses the first narrows of Burrard Inlet and connects the City of Vancouver to the North Shore municipalities of the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver, and West Vancouver. The term "Lions Gate" reflects the Lions, a pair of mountain peaks north of Vancouver.
I took this shot for the Global Creative Photography Project. The theme this week is movement.
For the theme "Simplicity" for the group Behind the Lens - Global Creative Photography Project come and join the fun!!

This dahlia is from a bulb I planted last spring. It sure took its sweet time coming to flower. This is the one and only flower it got on it this year and as winter was descending upon us rather quickly here, I thought I'd better get a shot of it before it was claimed by frost. It's a good thing I did because two days after I took this, frost hit hard and now its laying in a limp pile on the sundeck. I have to go out and dig the bulb out of the pot to keep it for next year... I took this shot for the Behind the Lens: Global Creative Photography Project: Week 10: Organic/Natural and the Weekly Photo Assignment: Red.

Tonight I returned home from a week away in the small town of Oliver. The drive through the Penticton area and Manning Park was a wintery wonderland. The drive was a little sketchy but boy was it stunningly beautiful. I was truly just struck by how beautiful it is in this little corner of the world and how blessed that I am to live here and be able to explore such a place.
This is a shot from the end of the summer taken on a solo hike up to Thurston peak and meadows. I talked for a while with this paraglider and then snapped a few shots as he literally walked into the air. Boy was I jealous - just thinking about the walk back to the car made me long for the ability to jump off the mountain like this guy.
This shot for the Global Creative Photography Project Theme of Sports. ... I guess I interpreted it as extreme sports. Hope that's ok Peter!

I captured so many colorful long exposure images of the bright and colorful projections of light and patterns on the Sydney Opera House that I decided to make a rainbow collage of a few of them, as there were so many different colors.
These colorful light projections on the Opera House were continuously changing making Sydney Harbour look like a piece of art.
