52 weeks in 2016 ... down low ...
... this was quite the challenge ... Drift would nót lie still as I was flat on my belly (not something we're used to haha) and I wanted the shot at f 1.4 for the bokeh and that's kinda difficult if your dog is constantly moving or coming towards you ... but we did it !

somehow the data was not exported from the new lightroom ...
canon 7D - 50 mm - f 1.4 - 1/1500 - ISO 100
This chipmunk that we found deep in the forest was hiding in plain sight. it thought by not moving it would not be found, and that nearly was the case. We could hardly see it in the light as diminished by the trees; had to turn the speed down and the iso up to photograph it. A little light came through a break in the tree tops which can be seen in the eye reflection.
Photo taken in Kent Gardens Park, McLean, Virginia.
This night photograph captured the view from the Helix Bridge looking towards the ArtScience Museum and Singapore’s Central Business District. The photograph captured the Museum and high-rise buildings, and their reflections in Marina Bay.
Best wishes for a great weekend.

This is basically an overlay of one of my photos (grass covered in melted hoarfrost in the sunlight) with a digitally created image (T2D, DDG) I have decided to texture it since I liked the patterns of light on the face originating from the photo but wanted to soften them for better balance.
In the summertime when the weather is hot you can stretch right up and touch the sky

Italien, In Malcesine(TN) am Gardasee.
Der Gardasee (italienisch Lago di Garda oder Bènaco), einer der oberitalienischen Seen, ist der größte See Italiens, benannt nach der Gemeinde Garda am Ostufer. Sein antiker Name lautete von etwa 200 v. Chr. bis 800 n. Chr. Lacus benacus. Der Name soll von einer alten Gottheit namens Benacus abstammen.
Malcesine ist eine norditalienische Gemeinde am Ostufer des Gardasees in der Provinz Verona mit 3689 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2019).
Malcesine wird häufig als „Perle des Gardasees“ bezeichnet. Mit diesem Begriff werden jedoch oft auch andere Orte wie Riva del Garda oder Limone sul Garda in Verbindung gebracht. Der Ort ist stark vom Tourismus geprägt.
~ previously posted in colour as 'close encounter' .. something about this particular image fills my heart with joy. I love images that express freedom.

La primavera ha sparso forme e volumi quasi casualmente in questo paesaggio umanizzato della collina. Oggetti, superfici e volumi colorati con tonalità delicate di giallo, di verde nuovo o di bianco. Ne è scaturito un armonioso disordine, che proprio per il fatto di essere armonioso è solo apparentemente un disordine. Perché la Natura ama il disordine, ma lo coniuga sempre con l'armonia ..... ..
Le montagne nello sfondo con un piccolo ghiacciaio, fanno parte del gruppo comprendente il Monte Similaun dove fu rinvenuto Oetzi, l'uomo vissuto tra 5300 e 5200 anni fa.
The mountains in the background with a small glacier are part of the group comprising Mount Similaun where Oetzi was found, the man who lived between 5300 and 5200 years ago.
In this picture the fog was higher than in the first picture. This created a very different mood as the sun shone through the fog
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesday is : In the middle. Mr. Teddy Bear is with us in order to celebrate Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays. And it is a very strange coincidence, since Mr. Teddy Bear is in the middle of a very, very interesting book. It is a criminal and international intrigue and Mr. Teddy Bear loves it. He decided to take a picture when he will be exactly in the middle of his book, and that is the picture you see today.
And not only, Mr. Teddy Bear is in the middle of his book, he is also in the middle of this picture ! Isn’t that awesome ?
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Oystercatcher [Haematopus ostralegus]
A beautiful, sunny day on Saturday, so I went down to a beach, close to home.
Here, two oystercatchers were rooting around in the shallows , in lovely light.

“In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone…
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you;
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence…”

In Messina, Sicily, there is a church tower with a mechanical carillon dating from 1933. The tower is almost 50 metres high and can be climbed. From the top you have an interesting view of the church square. I took three pictures of a man crossing the square and superimposed them.

You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Happy Caturday 24.1.2026 "Visitors"
Sorry, I didn't have the time (pensioner stress 😁) or opportunity to take any new photos this week. So I had to dig into the archives.
And in my mind, in my head
This is where we all came from
The dreams we have, the love we share
This is why we're waiting for
And in my mind, in my head
This is where we all came from
The dreams we have, the love we share
This is why we're waiting for

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

tips and tricks...i use M mode camera and here i made a little mistake.F5.6 isnt correct,best choice should be in this case F6.3-F7.1...probably i was looking for something else and i saw this guy.1/4000 is good...of course the wrong F5.6 gave me a better and cleaner background

This place is called Tilas stoll in Swedish which translates to something like Tilas shaft. This shaft is part of a bigger mine that is called Krakbogruvan and you can find it in Högbergsfältet in Persberg, Sweden. The "model" on the picture is my good friend Johan Aurvind. He is a young very promising photographer with an account here on Flickr. Check him out!
Thank you for visiting!
In a moment of warmth, the lovely, mellow sun of September peaked through the rain clouds to smile on the beauty of the University and the River Kelvin in Glasgow. I love the light and the plants persistently growing between the bricks/stones on the bridge :)
Autumn ... the year's last, loveliest smile."
