An intriguing street performer, playing music on crystal glasses on a wintry day next to the Chain bridge.
The 10 km Nipigon River Recreation Trail is located approximately one hour NE of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. It is a linear trail that runs from the small settlements of Red Rock to Nipigon. It is also located at the area where the Nipigon River meets Lake Superior.
There are 3 lookouts along the top of the trail. The one above is called Eagle's Ridge.
Hopefully you are able to comprehend just how incredibly high up this vantage point is. Those cliffs are sheer! Unlike, well, most other trails, this one has no protective rails - at all. !!! I really, really wanted to get a selfie of me sitting on the edge but Ray would have none of that! There were far too many grumblings of ‘You Photographers… get a piece of glass in front of your face and you lose all sense of where you are in the world… swatting at gnats all the while… [grumble-grumble-grumble]’. In fact, I only got a couple of shots before he, like, really-really insisted that I sit down to take my pictures. Like really? We all know you just can’t get a good panorama while sitting down!
…And that Kim, is why I don’t have selfies! LoL …Or nice things (aka a decent pano of this location). Lol =^D
Thank you for all of your kind comments, visits, faves and invites. I do appreciate you taking the time to stop by for a wee visit. ♥ =^D

A wild feral cat sunbathing on a beam at the top of the Acropolis! It was already in the 30's and turns out you do not want to pet wild cats...
So I first seen the Anonymus statue when I visited back in 2017 and was somewhat mesmerised by it then as I was this time. The statue is of a man who was once a notary and chronicler for a Hungarian king. The man's identity however has been vastly debated over the years to the point he is only known as Anonymus.
From 2 years ago in my early days of photography. I was 15 years old when I took these shots.
I was using my old Nikon d3200 with a 40mm 2.8
Located in the courtyard between blocks 10 & 11 the "Death Wall" was where an estimated 4500 people took their last breath. After being sentenced to death by a criminal court they would be led to the wall for their final moments. The windows facing the wall in blocks 10 and 11 boarded so the atrocities couldn't be witnessed by others awaiting "judgement".
So there we were on our 2nd day in Iceland in February, about to embark on a trip to Þingvellir national park in hope of seeing the aurora borealis. The leader of the group indicated our chances seemed minimal as they hadn't been seen for the best part of 10 days. Despite the opinion there was still part of me that held out hope. We embarked from Reykjavik at about 19:45 on what felt like a journey into the darkness. The further behind Reykjavik was, so was the light pollution and the darkness embraced us.
Upon arriving in the national park, a little wooden shack with a cafe was all that was in sight, behind it a large vast meadow covered in snow. I wondered out into the snow and waited for what felt like a lifetime. Nearly 3 hours into sub-zero temperatures my 10 second captures started picking up a glow. I wandered a little further as crowds of tourists started to appear trying to photograph them with their flashes on -_-. Before I knew it I was stood knee deep in snow, in sub-zero temperatures risking hypothermia for the shot I was praying would happen.
Before I knew it the sky seemed to explode in green and pink tones and dance around in front of me and over my head. 10 minutes I will never repeat nor ever forget.
- Day Four -
After our trip around Apgar Mountains, we headed eastward. We drove route 2 through the Rocky Mountains until we met the rolling hills and plains. It felt like we were in a western movie; we even saw buffalo to top it off! We drove out to the town of Browning, where we met a woman in a curio store. She was very knowledgeable & gave us a map to our next destination - Two Medicine Lake & Running Eagle Falls. We saw some beautiful & curious things along the way!
I rarely take photos from a moving car window, but the blur of the foreground, the direction of the clouds, the mountains on the horizon - everything seemed to come together. It almost depicts how our trip felt to me, fleeting but beautiful.
Close-up Nature Exploration
I began this small collection of photographs a while back and I hope to expand/explore much more when I can get my hands on a macro lens.
So having climbed up Mt Vesuvius first thing the same morning it was so powerful to visit Herculaneum the lesser regarded town that was destroyed in the eruption of 79AD.
A much smaller site with very rich mosaics and multi-floored homes, it is a site of wealth and power. To capture an image of the excavation of Herculaneum and the modern town of Ercolano under the watchful eye of Mt Vesuvius the destroyer of towns sent shivers down my spine.
