trying to improve, looking at different examples of light and wondering how we might take a turn and do something a little different. So working with light is really a lifelong educational process :-)

Ingleborough (723 m or 2,372 ft) is the second-highest mountain in the Yorkshire Dales, England. It is one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks (the other two being Whernside and Pen-y-ghent), and is frequently climbed as part of the Three Peaks walk. A large part of Ingleborough is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and National Nature Reserve and is the home of a new joint project, Wild Ingleborough, with aims to improve the landscape for wildlife and people.

“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”
― John Keats, Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne
Yesterday, was a very long day in the warehouse. Slowly but surely, we are clearing away 30 years of theatrical props, and costumes.
It was such a welcome relief to come home to some pretty tulips, and a window full of bright late day sunshine.
I enjoy color so much that the RGB levels in my digital paintbox get used regularly.
Last night, after looking at my yellow tulips from all angles and in all shades, I decided to go for this rich cabernet tone.
Not to improve upon God's work, mind you, because as a botanist, He rules. I just like experimenting.
I will dedicate this one to God, who has blessed me with sunshine and colors. With every beam of light, whether by sun, by moon, or by human, I feel His love. And His love comes in so many fascinating shades and colors. Amen.
Weather conditions improved in the late afternoon. This is a northwestward view from a hill that used to be the site for Chichijima's weather station.
The island in the left is Nishijima (西島, western island), while those in the right are Hyoutanjima (瓢箪島 gourd island), Anijima (兄島 older brother island), and Hitomarujima (人丸島).
According the climate data provided by Japan Meteorological Agency, average temperature of the coldest month in Chichijima is 18.5 degree Celsius, which means Chichijima has a tropical climate.
Annual precipitation of Chichijima is 1,296 mm, and the precipitation of the driest month is 51.6 mm, which means Chichijima has the tropical monsoon climate (Am) as compared to the humid subtropical climate (Cfa) in the Izu islands and the main island part of Tokyo.
Chichijima's climate is relatively dry judging from the Japanese standard; annual precipitation of downtown Tokyo is 1,530 mm.

Some studies of monotypes to improve my skills. Sorry for the bad lighting, but the size (A3) was too big for the scanner. So I shot the works very primitively. My bad.

After their overnight run from Medley, FL, FEC train 336 switches onto the Cemex City Point lead at CP City Point in Cocoa, FL.
CP City Point was rebuilt from its original configuration a few months prior to this photo. Originally, it was just the single main and the City Point lead with some standard vaders. Now, as you can see, there's a whole new main being built and two tracks that turn west off of the main to head toward Orlando for Brightline.
For improved visibility on level crossings, NS are fitting the class SNG EMUs with a yellow front. For now, the blue and yellow fronts can be seen together - in this case literally, as the leading unit has the blue front (mostly obscured by the overhead line portal and, of course, the other EMU) and the trailing one is yellow. The pair are on their way on a local service from Amsterdam Centraal to Amersfoort Vathorst. Soest, 05-09-2021.
On the edge of Kingsmere Lake, Mackenzie King spent almost 50 years (1903 – 1950) improving and expanding his estate, which he bequeathed to all Canadians. From the moment we enter this picturesque estate through wooded paths, we can enjoy the beauty of the Mooreside Main House and gardens where he hosted several important statesmen such as Winston Churchill among others. The spirits lead us to King’s historical ruins:
The Abbey Ruins
The stones from the Abbey Ruins were pieced together from remnants of other buildings, including
- the Canadian Parliament Building destroyed from fire in 1916,
- the crest of a former speaker of the House of Commons at Westminster, England,
- the stones from the printing office owned by King’s maternal grandfather, and
- the temple-like front piece (“Greek temple on a hill” he says) – came from a bay window removed from a Sandy Hill house about to be demolished. His imagination turned the bay window into the Acropolis.
Mackenzie King Estate, Gatineau Park, Québec, Canada
Au bord du lac Kingsmere, Mackenzie-King passa près de 50 ans (de 1903 à 1950) à améliorer et à agrandir son domaine qu'il légua à tous les Canadiens. Dès que nous entrons dans ce domaine pittoresque par des chemins boisés, nous pouvons apprécier la beauté de la maison principale et des jardins de Mooreside où il a hébergé plusieurs hommes d'État importants, tel que Winston Churchill. Les esprits nous mènent aux ruines historiques de King:
Les ruines de l'abbaye
Les pierres des ruines de l’abbaye ont été reconstituées à partir de vestiges d’autres bâtiments, notamment
- le Parlement canadien détruit par un incendie en 1916,
- l'emblème d'un ancien président de la Chambre des communes à Westminster, en Angleterre,
- les pierres de l’imprimerie appartenant au grand-père maternel de King et
- le morceau de façade en forme de temple « temple grec sur une colline », dit-il) - venait d'une baie vitrée retirée d'une maison de Sandy Hill sur le point d'être démolie. Son imagination transforma la baie vitrée en Acropole.

Trees improve air quality
Forests help purify drinking water
One large tree is a day's worth of oxygen for up to four people!
"A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away,
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark
But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around."
After some nights spent to learn and practice new imaging techniques, I propose a version of my first attempt to Andromeda Galaxy, less harsh, more realistic and detailed and (I hope) nicer to see.

Original title “Working Girl” was inappropriate. Looked back at all my photos that year and asked myself what I liked best, and why. This is the type photo for a core theme—images resolving contradictions. In this case, order and chaos, as the woman cleans the window of a clock shop with a perfectly horizontal squeegee stroke in a sea of bubbles. Love her contemplative expression, and the clutter of urban reflections superimposed on the orderly interior of a Viennese clock seller.

The other one was so messy, so I redone the whole thing, and I also didn't like his previous owner...
Karl-Marx-Hof is a municipal residential complex with 1382 apartments in Heiligenstadt, a neighbourhood of the 19th district of Vienna, Döbling. It was built in the years 1927-30.
Karl-Marx-Hof is a so-called Gemeindebau, which is the German word for "municipality building" (pl. Gemeindebauten). It`s one of the best-known Gemeindebauten in Vienna.
"Gemeindebauten have become an important part of the architecture and culture of Vienna since the 1920s. Up to 1918, the housing conditions of Vienna's growing working class were appalling by modern standards. When the Social Democratic Party of Austria gained control of the municipal administration during Austria's First Republic (1918-1934) (so called "Red Vienna"), it began the project of improving living conditions for workers. A large number of Gemeindebauten, usually large residential estates, were built during that time. Including those buildings that were finished after the events of February 1934, 64,000 apartments where completed, which created housing space for about 220,000 people. Apartments were assigned on the basis of a point system favoring families and less affluent citizens.
The classic interwar Gemeindebauten typically have a main entrance with a large gate, through which one enters into a yard. Inside, there are trees and some greenery, where children can play without having to go out on the street. Apartments are accessed from the inside.
This fortress-like structure made the buildings adaptable to military use. Several Gemeindebauten in Vienna, most notably the Karl-Marx-Hof, were sites of fighting during the Austrian Civil War of February 1934, when they were defended as Social Democratic Party strongholds." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeindebau
