Wild colors, pristinely clear water and shallows filled with giant stone can wreak havoc with depth perception along this special stretch of Superior. A walk along the edge without imagining the clusters of submerged boulders as beautifully preserved dinosaur eggs is near impossible.
Alice laughed, "There's no use trying," she said, "one can't believe impossible things."
"I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

REPOST
To create the impression of time travel I have not used a zoom blur (impossible with the Panasonic DMC-TZ40). This picture is the result of processing multiple exposures (none of which in themselves are blurred images). I hope we can imagine what it was like at Cape Bruny back in 1836.
A millipede (Ommatoiulus rutilans) hugging a dead flower.
The photo was taken using an external flash triggered remotely and manually configured to 1/32.
This image of what, at first sight, appears to be a leafy pathway through a hedge, was created by splicing together a picture of a fence in Linn Park in Glasgow with its mirror image.
Landmannalaugar is in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve in the Highlands of Iceland. It is at the edge of Laugahraun lava field, which was formed in an eruption around the year 1477. It is well known for its natural geothermal hot springs and surrounding landscape.
Landmannalaugar is the northern end of the Laugavegur hiking trail and a popular destination for tourist traveling in Iceland.
Iceland. September 2015.
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
I will not be another flower, picked for my beauty and left to die.
I will be wild, difficult to find, and impossible to forget.

I can't remember what these things are, besides sharp. I think they look better "dead" than blooming though. Happy Sunday all.

Day started out Sunny and not too hot, so the camera and I went out to work. By the time the clouds had rolled in and the wind picked up I had shot 750 images. When I got home I started the process of winnowing out the duds. As soon as I found this shot, I HAD to get it uploaded right away. Sometimes a photograph just grabs you, and this one did me.
Hope you like it too.

Nikon D7000. Tamron 180mm Macro. 1/1250th @ F/11. EV = -2/3. ISO 500. WB = sun. Shutter Priority. Multi-point AF. Photographed June 13, 2011
"remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill up the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end
those days would never end
remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used to dream
those nights would never end
those nights would never end
it was the sweetness of your skin
it was the hope of all we might have been
that fills me with the hope to wish
impossible things
but now the sun shines cold
and all the sky is grey
the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
and all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away"

To be used large pls - and to patxi
The room was dark
And full of sharks
And I thought of you
I thought of you
Dreamer
Give peace a chance
Don't think just dance
Impossible
Impossible dreamer
Joni Mitchell
