Pomarico may be small but packs an amazing punch only 20km from the heavily touristed Matera it hardly has any tourism outside of Italians and then only infrequently which to me gives it that real authentic feel that I am always looking for. Sitting on the hill between Bradano and Basento rivers the fertile valley is guarded by the village rising 459 m above, it has seen habitation since the Magna Graecia period today the population is just under 4500 citizens.
The town takes its name from "Pomaria Locus" or "Pomi Ager " which basically translates to place full of fruit trees and true to its roots the place is surrounded by vineyards, fruit orchards and olive groves. The village celebrates a music festival every year dedicated to Antonio Vivaldi the famous composer whose mother comes from the village and I think probably as close to fame as any villager has achieved thus far.
This shot captures the oldest part of the town perched on it hilltop, it also highlights one of the main problems in the area, landslides, when the rains come the ground becomes saturated without good drainage causing separation of soil from bedrock combined with the steep inclines equals a big mess.
I took this on Oct 6th, 2018 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 Lens at 98mm 1/80s f`11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

Behind the Dogwoods sunlight highlighting the leaves and blooms on this dogwood tree, found in North Carolina.
I still have not been able to get out lately ( at least when conditions are good) . Baseball season will be over soon and I should have more time for photography. I took this shot late last winter. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Peonies at the UC Botanical Garden. Right on schedule for Mother’s Day!
Peonies are important in Chinese herbal medicine. These are blooming in the university's Chinese Medicinal section.

Nachdem es in der ersten Stunde meines Aufenthaltes in Gemünden eher zäh Richtung Norden lief wurde es danach deutlich besser.
Neben dem einen oder andere Schmackerl freue ich mich sehr über die Lohrer Übergabe die am 31.03.21 über 6 Stunden zu spät in den Spessart fuhr.

Little Owl - Athene noctua
I have been photographing this local Little Owl on and off for a couple of years and an early morning visit to its favourite oak tree in June provided the opportunity for my best shots yet of the adult and, for the first time at this site, a fledgling.
Shooting with the Fuji X I can imitate the Nikon photo very closely but chose to do what Fuji X does best: be creative. I started with an in camera processed JPEG image, Softened the highlights & shadows. then ran it through photoshop for a different look: this is the result
While Fuji will never replace Nikon, [but would like Nikon to be more like Fuji X]. It is a viable camera that is easy & fun to use and takes quality photos.
I shot this about an hour earlier than the original, so the light is a bit stronger, and had to compensate by under exposing by about 1 to 2 stops to bring highlights into about zone 6 /7. Then bring up the shadows & blacks in Lightroom.
I have given serious thought to trading in my Nikon gear for a Fuji XT4. WE will see.
Not really Autumn but those colours give that impression! I use fill-in-flash to highlight the leaf and droplets!
I hope your day is going well? It’s been a while since I posted a shot from my favorite place. I remember this morning being off the charts beautiful and me standing there just sweating! I was trying to position my drone in the right place to get the sun right in the middle, inside of the lighthouse dome. There was not that much time to do that and still have some color, so the pressure was on. I’m glad I managed to do capture it at the end. What do you think?
There is no sin in being on the pathway; the spiritualists are wrong. But there is a sin in loving our road instead of our home; the materialists are wrong. There is no sin in being on the road, in being corporeal, in being finite, in being homo viator, in having responsibility for things outside, below, and now; there is only sin in settling for the lesser, and not letting it awaken an appetite for the greater.

We're still coated with ice and now 8 inches of snow, as well. A most beautiful way to end the year. This Red Twig Dogwood entirely coated in sparkling ice.
Concluding my look back over the last year.
From the end of November, the best birds were in East Sussex, although it took two separate visits to West Rise marsh to capture both the Long-tailed Duck and Slavonian Grebe (present from 9th November and 18th November respectively). But to conclude my review of the year, one more special bird (which in any other year could easily have been the Bird of the Year) and another fabulously confiding bird, this Desert Wheatear at Pevensey Bay from 28th November to 9 December.
What an incredible series of fabulous subjects. I only hope 2017 offers more of the same. So, wherever you are, I would like to wish you all a very happy new year.
