So ist das Leben ....
nicht alles, was von oben kommt, ist gut! :-)))
Jetzt kommt der Endspurt - wünsche Euch schöne Tage bis zum Fest!
C’è un momento in ciascuna alba in cui la luce è come sospesa; un istante magico dove tutto può succedere. La creazione trattiene il suo respiro.
(Douglas Adams)
Nel cuore della Maremma Livornese, la Costa degli Etruschi in Toscana, c'è Rosignano Marittimo.
Sunrise, anything can happen
There is a moment in every sunrise when the light is suspended; a magical moment in which anything can happen. Creation holds its breath.
(Douglas Adams)
In the heart of the Maremma Livornese, the Etruscan Coast in Tuscany, there is Rosignano Marittimo.

There's something about mushrooms that always makes me think of magic and fairies. Not seen one yet though... :-(
One of my recent in-camera monochromes with the helios lens, but given a slight creative twist for fun. (Produced by adding coloured pixel layers and using blend ranges to restrict the colours to just the highlights. With a bit of masking to get the colours where I wanted them. [The colours were purposefully kept really subtle, so don't worry if you miss them!] )
Every year I say no more duckling shots.
Technically therefore I haven't broken my own rule.
Naturally I had approached the local pond in search of goosanders, when I stumbled across these youngsters.

Our Alfie🐈 is today (Sunday August 1th 2021) in urgently,
operated on a bladder obstruction due to bladder stones.
I do hope he will survive 🙏 He is strong but has also 12 years.
Be well our sweetest💕 darling friend!
My love for 12 years passed away on August 5th, 2021
at kidney and liver insufficiency after bladder obstruction.
He was a fighter but has lost his battle....
Now he has passed the rainbow bridge.
We meet again my dearest Alfie, our red tiger! Love you so much!

The person you are and the person you become sometimes it takes a lifetime and sometimes it happens in a flash, sometimes we look completely different, sometimes we look almost identical but still Change is just what happened Orlando Florida 4/3/20
That's what happens when it's warm and sunny and it's FRIDAY ! :) Sometimes it doesn't take much to make Cleo happy.
I took several photos of her today. Maybe I should store them somewhere for the long weeks and months of winter when I'll hardly have any chance to get a Cleo photo.

I love the Oregon coast, and I also love being in the forest, so here, I was in the forest on the Oregon coast. I find that being in a forest, I immediately feel a sense of calm and oneness with nature, and am in awe of everything around me. When I try to capture that on camera, it's never what I experienced, so have a hard time working with any of my forest images. The magic happens when I'm there, but it doesn't seem to look the same on the screen. Oh well....
I wasn't able to be online much the past couple of days, so most likely, you only received faves from me. I'll try to remedy that today. Have a lovely Monday!
Zoom in and take a look around :)
Preparing for tomorrows Macro Mondays Theme ........it was securely set up..........Then Accidents Happen !
I happened to walk by kitchen window and saw this turkey walking around in backyard looking for food. I had to photograph bird through the door window as I could not open door or he would have been gone in a flash. At least the window allowed me to get a few images.
A new life.
My friends,
I created my little (really small) business last Wednesday. In fact, I am the boss and employee. :)
I must say I do not know if I will succeed to earn some money, but one thing is certain, in a week (or two) my website will be there. It is already online but empty now...
I'm scared, really do not know how things will happen...
Have a lovely new weekend...

I am sure this is something that happens to other people, not just me. You see something and immediately a song pops up in your mind. I was wandering in the streets of Chora in Serifos and as I took a turn and walked in this alley I felt a strong wind gust from behind. The closed windows of the 2 houses started creaking and I instantly remembered the lyrics of this Greek old song where the singer says that he feels like the wind passing through the city's streets making the closed windows creak . It was so quiet and so peaceful on that mid September evening in Chora. Its streets were empty and the sound of the windows didn't bother me at all. I stayed there to enjoy that moment and absorb everything through my eyes and ears. White walls, colorful windows, the sound of creaking and a nice and refreshing breeze. Perfection. Happy Window Wednesday everybody.

And here are the lyrics in English:
As I walk out of your door
I will see the round sun
wearing your beautiful last smile
I will wish you good morning
then I will leave, I will be lost
and maybe you will only see me again in your dreams
Because I am the air that passes
in the city's alleys
and makes the closed windows creak
Because I am an evening aura
I am a breath clean and alive
which makes the tilted window shutters rustle
I am leaving to go high on the mountain
and then I will fall off the cliff
as I sway in the depths and the heights
And in silence I carry
an unruly cry
and some unspeakable hope that you have hidden
I happened to be in Stillwater on this day, and seeing the nice updates from the peeps in the field about a late transfer from the CN, I decided to take a little detour north before heading home. Managed to hike to the bridge with only about 10 minutes of waiting before this nice trio of matching SDs pulled across in perfect light.
In 2011 it snowed here in the area we live, and people who have lived here for 50 years have not seen it ever happen, I was so glad that we could also have the opportunity to see it! www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/5442971/Wellingtons-on...
Just happened to glance down an alley and these hoops (bike storage?) just jumped out at me.

While going through some older photos, I happened to find this little gem. It's Trinity, posing at the dog park. It was originally in color, but it just didn't look right, so I changed it to black & white to give it a more softer and dramatic effect.
I happened to discover the spiral staircase in this shot by a stroke of luck. I was passing by the Golden Mile Tower, and was curious to see that there was a movie complex The Projector attached to the tower.
The lifts were out of order, so I had to take the stairs. It turns out the staircase turned out to be a spiral one. This spiral staircase is truly a rather welll-hidden and dare I say, one that may descent into obscurity in the near future.
It was not surprising to see the cineplex so quiet and devoid of people as many people, especially the younger ones may not be aware of this place.
It finally happened, last night it snowed and it was the beautiful kind of snow that sticks to everything. Central Park reported 1.1 inches and here in the northern part of Manhattan we got more.
True happiness ensues indirectly. It always appears in a state of non-search.

The 2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast is an example of what happens when an automaker commits to crafting a vehicle that offers the best performance money can buy. With almost 800 horses under the hood, this coupe provides brutish power, facilitating a zero-to-60-mph sprint that clocks in at less than three seconds. Fuel economy is poor, and the 812 Superfast's $330,000-plus price makes it accessible only to the very privileged few. Still, if you have deep pockets and a thirst for spectacular handling, this skilled Ferrari won't disappoint.
Ferrari's 812 Superfast gets its muscle from a 6.5-liter V-12 powerplant, and this engine delivers a bracing 788 horsepower and 529 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. The 812 Superfast holds a place among the quickest of the quick. In our track tests, it sprinted from zero to 60 mph in a scant 2.8 seconds. That's a dazzling performance, but it trails that of the McLaren 720S. That car made the run in just 2.7 seconds. Handling is nimble, especially when you consider this Ferrari's relatively hefty curb weight. The engine note is mellifluous, and the car's brakes are potent enough to bring this beast to a quick and decisive standstill.
Thanks to Car And Driver for the above.
...on rainy dark november days.

Mikado, also known as pick-up-sticks or jackstraws, is a game of skill of European origin that, at least according to (German) Wikipedia, was already played in ancient Rome. It is named after the highest scoring stick (blue), the "Mikado", which refers to the Japanese emperor.
This is a slightly different, new type of Mikado, and its rules are simple: clear the game board without tossing the burning candle over or lighting the "active" playing candles in the process, and do it before the red candle burns down (which happens quite fast with these thin candles).
Initially, I wanted to build a much larger Mikado pile with more candles, but they kept rolling away, so I focused on creating a nice-looking pile instead.
Size info: Each candle (except the lit red one, which I cut in half) is 6 cm/2,36 inches long, so together with the negative space (I also slightly cropped the image), the width is about 2,75 inches.
HMM, Everyone!
Happened to be driving by Burt's pumpkin farm on the way home today and caught a glimpse of the light from the trees in the background reflecting on the stream under this old covered bridge. Decided to make a quick stop for capturing the light before the sun disappeared behind the mountain. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week. :-)
For some reason, this and a couple of other pics came out really dark and grainy (I probably screwed up a setting or two again). But, instead of trying to fix it or even trash the pic, I decided to go with it.
San Jose, California.
While I was about to get into my car, I saw this lovely cat appear from underneath someone's side gate. Not to be confused with my neighbour's cat, Nala, this guy is much more furry. I was pleased I happened to have my camera with me.
It's happened to all of us: you're driving somewhere along a lightly trafficked line, you hear a signal call, feverishly navigate to the nearest spot with usable light, wait, and...it's just light power. I can't say I was that surprised, as this was R240, the Big Sandy Sub "local" out of Shelby. A land of virtually no carload customers, this job tends to shuttle around less-than-trainload coal empties, bad order cars, and the occasional sand traffic for the transload at Martin Yard at the start of the E&BV. A short distance ahead, they will tie onto a cut of empty coal at Fords Branch and tie down for the day.
