My favorite bridge in medieval Bruges.
"The charismatic area of Bonifaciusbridge and Arentshof has the ability to enchant many a visitor. Its irresistible combination of striking history and warm romance may take your breath away. Arentshof, located along one of the picturesque canals, manages to create an entirely unique atmosphere with its tall trees, hidden benches, mysterious pieces of art and marvelous view on Church of Our Lady and Gruuthuse palace. It’s one of those places to watch the world go by: tourist boats pass and people wander around while the clatter of hoofs from the horse drawn carriages echoes throughout the day. Don’t be fooled further ahead, for the charmed ancient looking Bonifaciusbridge dates from early 20th century and is one of Bruges’ youngest bridges. While you admire the fairytale like canals with inclined houses and passing tourist boats a humble feeling will no doubt wash over you when looking up at the Church of Our Lady. In the evening carefully chosen illumination further enthralls this cherished lovespot." (Romantic hotspots in Bruges)

I decided to re-edit this piece because I felt that the first image hadn’t quite lived up to it’s name nor the moment that I had captured.
The morning I had captured this, a storm had just passed through, the beach was soaking wet from the rain, it was windy and cold - all-in-all it was pretty miserable. I decided to do one last long exposure of about 15 seconds before packing it in. During that 15 seconds the sky lit up like a fire had rolled through, brilliant reds, yellows and oranges burst at the horizon.
Sitting under the pier with my camera, the right side was full of illumination and brilliance and the left side was dark and moody. This re-edit shows (in my opinion) a more accurate telling of what I saw that morning.

I took this at Minnekhada Park last week. We were going to go for a hike there, but the trails were skating rinks, and I didn't bring my skates :(
But driving out of the park, the sunlight shone through the trees, and it was worth every minute of getting all the way out there.

Being alone, it took a few trips back and forth till I got the LED panels placed right. I was in that area of the Valley of Dreams already 3 times the last two years but never met anybody there. That makes this place very special to me.
I have a neighbor who lives in an historically preserved house, with an equally celebrated garden. Yesterday afternoon I got a call from her that her night-blooming cereus, a cactus flower that blooms just once a year, was about to burst. After the sun went down I walked down the lane, and there - on her front porch - was a six-foot cactus with eight amazing white blooms. I can't describe them with any justice, here is one I hope you will like.

While the memory's fading
Underneath the dying sun
You see
Now I won't stop pretending
Seems I'm always on the run
Foresee
That's why I need to chase
The stars under the rain
Of broken satellites
And just to say again
Don't blame me drifting in the space
Between the darkness and disgrace
It's my way
And my illumination
Don't blame me for being myself
I know that it will never end
Someday
Won't need explanation
Don't blame me drifting in the space
Between the darkness and disgrace
It's my way
And my illumination
Have no possibility to upload something new. Here’s an old pic from Moscow at night. I like this classic view with all those lights.
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.
I have long been fascinated by this tree clinging to a rocky ledge overlooking Lake Lopez. I have taken countless photos of it trying to capture the feeling it evokes in me. But none of them came close to expressing my heart....until I decided to create an art piece using the tree as the base image. When I added a sunrise sky I had taken at the Marina in Morro Bay my heart leapt! This was it!!!
