Costumes Institute's Heavenly Bodies Show, the Met, October 2018. To start, the venue was to be unmatched. This show was unmatched as well. This image is just a tiny slice.
Title: Heavenly.
Another one from Wreck Beach from earlier in the week, as Nature performed
Year: 2014
Location: Eyre Peninsula, South Australia
Heavenly Falls is a 50-foot tall man-made waterfall located in the Portland Japanese Garden in Portland, Oregon. It flows into the lower pond of the Strolling Pond Garden and was named by the garden's designer, Professor Takuma Tono, who felt the water appeared to flow from the Milky Way. The waterfall was rebuilt and increased in height to 65 feet after being severely damaged in a 1997 ice storm
The American Southwest is an amazing place for photography, but the Antelope Slot Canyons near Page, Arizona are absolutely heavenly.
During this trip we visited both the upper and lower sides of the canyon. The lower canyon was much less touristy and my favorite as a photographer. I will share some images from that section also.
This image was taken in the upper section. As we approached the scene the light beam was attracting a collection of enthusiastic people with cameras. After I felt everyone had enough time to capture this view, I asked my son to walk into the shaft of light. His instructions were to grab two handfuls of sand and throw them up into the light and hold this position. The sand particles are illuminated by the light beam and enhances the shaft. Needless to say, he was a trooper, holding that position as the sand fell down on his face, but I got the look I was after and it has become one of my favorite images.
Thank you for looking.
This heavenly rose is our newest plant.Just walking down our steps and this beauty greeted my eyes. Could not believe how lovely it was. We had no idea of the name or colour.Just one of three with no names purchased from Aldi Supermarket near valentines day.What a superb surprise this one is.
“It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.” ~ Henry David Thoreau “Set your sight on a heavenly azimuth.” ~ Me
“Really, what profit is there for you to gain the whole world and lose yourself in the process?” ~ Jesus (Mark 8: 36)
“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure that is hidden in a field. A crafty man found the treasure buried there and buried it again so no one would know where it was. Thrilled, he went off and sold everything he had, and then he came back and bought the field with the hidden treasure part of the bargain.
Or the kingdom of heaven is like a jeweler on the lookout for the finest pearls. When he found a pearl more beautiful and valuable than any jewel he had ever seen, the jeweler sold all he had and bought that pearl, his pearl of great price.” ~ Jesus (Matthew 13: 44-46)
“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” ~ C.S. Lewis

Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, US
One would think this photo was taken in flight from an airplane but actually, I captured this magical moment from my 11th floor apartment window. My window was partially frosted, the temperature outside was deep freeze -25C Windchill overlooking the Toronto skyline. When I focused on the sunrise, the ice turned to brilliant diamonds and a flock of pigeons flew by. To me it is a magical moment. A heavenly sight. Freedom, bliss and warmth.
You'll appreciate this in Lightbox I'm thinking
The title can be taken different ways...

An American Oystercatcher pauses to demonstrate the narrowness of its bill. The light sand on the beaches of Long Island, NY provide for some fun composition opportunities. This shorebird had been foraging beyond the brim of a small hill with me crouched low on the other side. This foreground is unaltered in any way. It is simply the result of providing enough distance between my focus point (the Oystercatcher's eye/forehead) and the sand combined with a wide open aperture, f/5.6. June 15, 2017
Day 274
Playing around with Lightroom today. I feel this has a slightly tacky look. Maybe it could go on the cover of a Songs of Praise album or something...
"There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons –
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes –
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –
We can find no scar,
But internal difference –
Where the Meanings, are –
None may teach it – Any –
'Tis the seal Despair –
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the Air –
When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold their breath –
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
On the look of Death –"
- Emily Dickinson (Poem 320).
I have to admit when I first saw this gravestone I was quite amazed. It brought to mind some of the old Puritan gravestones I'd seen in New England years ago. I've never seen another quite like it in Tasmania. All the more incredible it dates from 1923, not 1823. A finger pointing to heaven (as long as it is the correct finger) is a symbol well known. The Jesus People used it in the 1970s, "One Way to Heaven", as Larry Norman sang.
As I did some research on graveyard symbolism I did in fact find some examples. Some people thought it might be a symbol of Divine judgment: "Here lies a sinner." But obviously that is not the case here, as Blanche was clearly the "Beloved wife of Arthur Wells". But I did find an example that made sense, right down to the broken chain under the finger.
www.cityofgroveok.gov/building/page/hand-finger-pointing-...
This symbol represents "the hand of God descending from heaven to lift the soul. The finger pointing down does not indicate damnation; instead it most commonly represents an untimely, sudden, or unexpected death." Now since poor Blanche died much beloved at 50, that explanation makes complete sense. And the broken chain is exactly what Emily Dickinson is talking about in her (as always) deliberately ambiguous poem about death on a Winter's afternoon. You'll notice that the day Blanche died was almost 98 years to the day from this Winter late afternoon I spent in the Carr Villa Memorial Park.
Do you get moments when you suddenly feel you're in the right place at the right time? Rest in peace dear Blanche, and Arthur too. 'Saint' Emily understood: "When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold their breath –
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
On the look of Death –"
Nice accident...ha-ha!

This is an evergreen spreading shrub, beautiful tiny blue flowers. Have a colourful day you wonderful folks out there.
Maybe one can see this kind of sky show once or twice a year in big cities. Today Japan had terrible heat after the storm passed through and dashed to the north. But the nature in return left us this heavenly panoramic show to end the day. The pictures were taken from my balcony.

We are going south for a week........
Need a roadtrip. (LOL)
Have a great week my friends..
Spotted outside a local church today - Agas flirting with passers-by, as is their December habit here.
Taken with an E. Ludwig Meritar 50mm f2.9 (Exacta mount) fitted to an ancient Sony NEX-5T. Wide open, MFD, and a modest crop.
Day 2 of Pentax Forum's Daily in December 2022 (Bokehcember) challenge.
Spent more time on this shot than many, trying to decide what to do with it.....sitting on my desktop, looking, experimenting....and then just letting go of the whole process and hoping I could post how I saw the moon on that particular night.....with the softly colored aura around it, the beauty of it....
Picnik a great help here with its easily used tools....and some light texturing (Picnik) to soften some pixelation.
******
Any ideas you might have on moon shots, I'd like to hear.....I think my telephoto not good enough....and as well (gasp)...it could be me, the photographer!
Canon XSi, Canon 55-250mm lens, ISO 1600, WB set at sunlight (awhile ago a pro had told me to do that), monopod.....forgot to set 2 sec. timer, might have helped.
So glad you stopped by and hoping your week is going well for you....

The name of the traditional river of ancient Chittagong is Karnafuli. This river is an immortal witness of thousands of years of history. Starting from the eastern hills, this river has merged with the Bay of Bengal on the wide western side. The scenery of the two banks of Karnafuli is amazing. Fishing boat with fishermen's equipment on the river bank in the morning at Karnafuli river (Kaptai). When fishermen fish in the fog-covered river in the winter morning, an unearthly environment is created. It's like a heavenly morning.

Chittagong, the holy land of Bar Auliya and the green land of natural beauty, has developed on the banks of Karnafuli. One of the main reasons for this beauty of Chittagong is Karnafuli. The port built on the banks of this river is economically important. Chittagong port is very old. The river is losing its romance. The river is only being attacked because of the profiteering people. The only hydropower plant in Bangladesh has been built on Karnafuli.
