Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesday is fruit still life. I don’t know why but pears are such nostalgic fruits. Maybe it is the shape of pears or just the fact that they don’t last that long ( I know pears last longer than bananas or avocados for sure but not as long as apples for instance)… Each time, when looking two pears leaning on each other, I think about elderly couples in love.
Mucho, mucho amor for you !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !
FYI: I’m very busy at work and at home so I will not be able to answer your comments… So comment at your own risks ! However, I will read everything for sure !
What better instance than this to depict the the co-existence of the real and the magical?
This is no 'forbidden forest', just a part of our campus!
Can it get any more idyllic?
I normally prefer the less bright side of photography. More run-down places, imperfections or odd instances. But this view on Sibiu's Piaţa Mică was too perfect and calm while one block away life went on to its fullest as it was the Sibiu Marathon weekend.

Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred
Lots ot etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette
For instance:
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
In our daily hurly-burly lives, we tend to overlook that right under our noses there are wondrous universes, for instance in an inconspicuous half-frozen puddle, that are home to strange and alien beings. They are only visible for photographers with a macro lens. And they only reveal themselves to an audience with an open mind and a rich imagination.
This series won the 3rd place in the 6th Fine Art Photography Award (abstract category).

Il Palazzo Pretorio o dei Commissari granducali è una costruzione che si trova a Terra del Sole e rappresenta un classico esempio di architettura rinascimentale, a pianta quadrata, con all'interno il cortile delimitato da un triportico a due ordini. Era sede del Tribunale di prima istanza per tutta la Romagna toscana a cui ci si doveva appellare per tutte le cause civili escusse nei vari capitanati della Provincia. Fu realizzato su progetto di Baldassarre Lanci.
The Palazzo Pretorio or Palazzo dei Commissari granducali is a building located in Terra del Sole and represents a classic example of Renaissance architecture, with a square plan, with an internal courtyard delimited by a triportico with two orders. It was the seat of the Court of First Instance for all of Tuscan Romagna to which appeals had to be made for all civil cases brought up in the various captaincy of the Province. It was built to a design by Baldassarre Lanci.
People and Posters
This is an area where I can be a bit more creative. Although I have been out with the camera in London and other cities in the past, trying to find those iconic areas of graffiti, coloured shop fronts and unusual posters. I must also find then the right people to walk by at that precise moment, which is not always possible; so I take the venues and the people separately and then match them together in my own time. But I think they are like Marmite. But in this instance I hope you do like.
As always, keep safe and best wishes. Patrick
Ps It comes about because I do not have the patience to wait around but I admire those people who do.

Cupola of Saint Issac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg Russia.
The cathedral's main dome rises 101.5 metres (333 ft) and is plated with pure gold. The dome is decorated with twelve statues of angels by Josef Hermann. These angels were likely the first large sculptures produced by the then novel process of electrotyping, which was an alternative to traditional bronze casting of sculptures.Montferrand's design of the dome is based on a supporting cast iron structure. It was the third historical instance of cast iron cupola after the Leaning Tower of Nevyansk (1732) and Mainz Cathedral (1826)
This is one instance where the female looks about as pretty as the male, if not prettier.

Blue Hour, Sakrisoy, Lofoten, Norway
There are certain buildings that are so intrinsic to a particular location, that they become part of the landscape, quite literally in this instance.
This gorgeous orange rorbuer is such an iconic scene that it is impossible to pass by without stopping to take a photograph. The main difference that I see moving forward is the inclusion of a new wooden platform that extends over the water inlet in front of the rocks in the bottom of the frame to have photographers stood in a safe place instead of by the roadside.
On this particular occasion, the snow came in and completely hid the mountain behind the rorbuer, which always creates a more serene image.
I cannot wait to return to Lofoten at the end of January 2026 with my top workshop leader Chris Frost Photography

Nature, as we all know, is far from simple. Just a few instances here in this photo. One, this beautiful purple Ruellia hails originally from Mexico; and yet during the last century it's been naturalised all over the tropical world, also in Kuala Lumpur and environs. In this case, apparently, naturalisation is simple. And also - different often from those in human worlds - this exotic is nurtured carefully; here in park borders far from Mexico. Two, our Asian Honeybee seems to have no problem at all in her symbiotic relationship with North American Ruellia. Three, pollination might seem to be a simple process... but just think how many factors come into its success. I watched these Bees for a bit and noticed that it was only very occasionally that their pollen-laden backs touched the Flower's pistil. The pay-load seemed very low indeed. And yet Nature 'works'.
I've been struggling recently, hence I was missing in action here, possibly a crisis of confidence if I'm honest, that and as I said before in my previous post, I've been unable to fully connect to my art. My best friend told me that I am needing to get back into the practice; other than snow, the Winter months are my least favourite, so often in this time I have less drive and tend to await Spring, which is right around the corner; cannot wait for the warmer weather.
Anyway, this shot I took when, you guessed it, there was lots of snow and a sunset about to happen, so in this instance I very much got the best of both worlds.
I hope everyone is well and had a great St Patrick's Day! And so as always, thank you! :)
158719 heads north west across the low plains between Keith and Elgin with an Inverness bound service. The signal to the right of the train is superfluous in this instance, but are the lineside wires?
Crail... is a former royal burgh, parish and community council area (Royal Burgh of Crail and District) in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The civil parish has a population of 1,812 (in 2011). The name Crail was recorded in 1148 as Cherel and in 1153 as Karel. The first element is the Pictish *cair (c.f. Welsh caer) meaning "fort", though this word seems to have been borrowed into Gaelic. The second element may be either Gaelic ail, "rocks", or more problematically Pictish *al; no certain instance of this word exists in P-Celtic. However, if the generic element were Pictish, then this is likely of the specific. Quoted from Wikipedia
I “Love The Rain” for plenty of reasons, of course. In this instance for the beauty, richness and the way it’s combined with the Sunshine after this passing storm. The air got muggy with heat but the beauty was intensified when both rain and sunshine simultaneously landed on the pedals of this beauty few roses. Thanks for viewing and any comments you might leave any of my captures, Have a great weekend.
An instance where I found the focal length of the lens to be too much. There weren't a lot of openings in the leaves to get the full view of the owl.

In fotografischer Hinsicht steckt im Stinkenden Storchschnabel viel Potential. Man kann Details beleuchten und z.B. nur Staubgefäße und Griffel in starker Vergrößerung abbilden, oder aber die ganze Pflanze thematisieren, indem man alle oberirdischen Pflanzenorgane zur Abbildung bringt. In diesem Fall hatte ich Glück, da ein Blatt hinter der Blüte emporragte und somit das Vorhaben möglich wurde.
Objektiv: Helios 44 2
Herb-Robert offers great photographic potential. You can highlight details—such as capturing a highly magnified view of just the stamens and styles—or focus on the plant as a whole by including all its above-ground parts. In this instance, I was lucky: a leaf rose up behind the flower, making this type of shot possible.
Lens: Helios 44-2
Suffice it to say that black and white are also colours,
for their simultaneous contrast is as striking
as that of green and red, for instance.

I shot various instances of this scene, trying to get the tree and the building to play nice with everything else. If only there were clouds.

“Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.” Oscar Wilde
Trying the combination of Fujifilm digital medium format sensor with full frame lens, by instance Canon EF 135mm f/2 L USM.
That specific lens is the reason why I still keep my Canon DSLR system. Sold many L lenses to be more light but that one I just can't get rid of it, it's an addiction ;-)
In the bird world all the glamour usually favours the males - in this instance I think female eclectus definitely came out the clear winner in the sexually dimorphic beauty race. With rich, vibrant reds and contrasting deep violet/blue plumage all complimented by a jet black weapon-of-a-beak, these beauties really stand out. The males are largely green bodied (with just hints of red and blue showing underwing) and an orange to yellow fade in the beak.
Incredibly smart with an impressive vocal range - captives need constant stimulation and enrichment. Females can be murderous and having worked with several eclectus can recommend not housing them in flight aviaries without proper vetting first. One female had a penchant for killing doves.. any and all kinds of doves. She also enjoyed the odd nibble on exposed human toes - the smaller the better.
One thing that impresses me here in Thailand is how many people look after animals that don't belong to them. At our building, for instance, there are two feeding stations with bowls where various tenants provide food and water to free-roaming dogs or cats (one spot for each species).
I once watched a cat waiting right there for its "provider" to come home from work. As soon as he arrived, she ran toward him, calling out, and naturally received her dinner from him.
But it isn't just dogs and cats that people here care for.
At a café in a Bangkok park, I saw a waitress who, on a hot day, kept bringing small pieces of watermelon to a tree, where then a squirrel would come to collect them.
I managed to take a photo of one of these moments. In this instance, it was a Finlayson's squirrel gratefully accepting the sweet treat.
Eine Sache, die mich hier in Thailand beeindruckt ist, dass sich hier viele Menschen um Tiere kümmern, die ihnen nicht gehören. So gibt es bei uns am Haus zwei Futterplätze mit Schüsseln, wo verschiedene Mieter jeweils freilaufende Hunde oder Katzen mit Futter und Wasser versorgen (je ein Ort pro Gattung).
Eine Katze habe ich dabei beobachtet, wie Sie direkt darauf wartete, dass ihr "Versorger" von der Arbeit kommt. Bei seiner Ankunft lief sie lauf rufend auf sie zu und bekam natürlich auch ihr Abendessen von ihm.
Doch es sind nicht nur Hunde und Katzen, um die sich die Menschen hier kümmern.
In einem Cafe in einem Park in Bangkok sah ich eine Kelnerin, die an einem heißen Tag immer wieder kleine Stücke Wassermelone zu einem Baum brachte, wo diese dann von einem Eichhörnchen in Empfang genommen wurden.
Eine dieser Szenen konnte ich fotografieren. In diesem Fall war es ein Finlayson-Hörnchen, welches die süße Erfrischung dankbar angenommen hat.

It is widely known that travel broadens the mind.
On my trip to Laos, for instance, I had the opportunity to learn about the region's characteristic methods for transporting heavy loads.
Here you can see the version typical of this area: a bamboo pole with two baskets—woven from natural fibers like bamboo, rattan, or bast—hanging from it. In other regions, carrying baskets made from the same materials are used instead; these are carried using straps that rest either on the shoulders or against the forehead.
I have immense respect for this elderly lady, by the way. The load she is carrying up this rather steep road looks incredibly heavy.
Das Reisen bildet ist ja weithin bekannt.
Auf meiner Reise nach Laos habe ich zum Beispiel die regional typischen Techniken kennenlernen dürfen, um schwere Dinge zu transportieren.
Hier seht er die für diese Region typische Variante. Eine Bambusstange an der zwei aus Naturfasern (Bambus, Ratan oder Bast) geflochtene Körbe hängen. In anderen Regionen werden an dieser Stelle aus dem seben Material gefertigte Tragekörbe verwendet, die mit Riemen wahlweise auf den Schultern oder an der Stirn getragen werden.
Ich habe übrigens absolute Hochachtung vor dieser älteren Dame hier. Das, was sie hier gerade diese recht steile Strasse hinauf transportiert sieht ziemlich schwer aus.

Remember
In an instance we remember. a smell, song, taste, sound, word.
Our eyes can't hide it. The sadness of those who have passed. You may be gone but never forgotten. Memories locked up tight in the mind like unearthly treasures. We miss you and look back upon you fondly. Thoughts make one smile and laugh. The eyes can't hide the sadness of loss. The memories bring smiles and comfort. We miss you but will never forget you.
DB unbranded 60010 hugs the Loughor Estuary near Pwll as the tug throbs towards Llanelli with the 6B13 05.00 Robeston-Westerleigh petroleum tanks.
The phrase you don't go you don’t get seems pertenent in this instance - this location was another that, I felt, had been on the to-do list for far too long. The optimistic weather outlook settled it and a very early alarm call coupled with a pleasant ride into Wales most definitely recified this anomaly.
Special mention goes to DP for the inspiration and the local know-how.
Well, here we go again.......no spring this year, right into summer. Turn off the stove and get the A/C in the window. Wildfire smoke has become an issue for several years now, and having it on a weeks' vacation makes it even more frustrating. Once such instance was a day on the WNYP in 2020, we were following the Farmers' Valley job with 2 C-430's in a thick haze of smoke.

It is hard to get out away from the family to get shoots sometimes. In this instance we were on a camping trip in the Tetons. I kept telling myself I was going to get a sunrise over the lake but the cold weather always stopped me. This was the last night there, it was now or never. I brought a chair, set up the tripod and waited. I was a bit surprised how many people were out around the lake at this hour. One burly dude in flannel (can you trust a dude alone at a lake in flannel?) sundered up to my spot, just about 10 feet from and sat. And sat. He just stood there looking the same direction I was looking. I could almost feel him looking at my gear out of the corner of my eye. Finally he mumbles, almost as if he were talking to the mountain "6d?" Ok, now I am even more nervous, he knows my gear. He was still not looking at me at all, could he feel the presence of the Canon? "Yes" I replied. Silence. I am ready for anything at this point, testosterone in overdrive. What felt like an eternity passed (about 15 seconds in my overly dramatic mind). Then he reaches into his coat...this is it, he is getting a knife, or a gun..I get ready to rush him, almost leaping across the rocks..then he turns, smiles, and pulls out a Canon 6d also. "Me too" he says. We proceed to talk shop while I am still shaking form the adrenaline rush. This image is for you creepy flannel man.
I already posted one image from this shoot in blue, pre-sunrise. Truth is I liked it better, but I thought I should revisit the set of brackets I shot that morning.
I am always drawn to images that are dark. Usually very dark. They just seem to pull me into the image. The thing is, I keep trying to shot dark images, and process dark images. I just can't seem to get them the way I want, dark. I almost forced myself to keep this dark while I processed it. Looking back, I wish I had gone into the lake to shoot this, it would have been more dramatic.
Singapore, 2025
Last year, my photography journey was far from fulfilling, leaving me with a sense of dissatisfaction. Despite my efforts, my creative growth appeared to have reached a standstill, as I repeatedly found myself reverting to familiar approaches. While there were moments where I saw potential in some photos, I overall felt that they didn’t meet the vision I had in mind. It became evident that I didn’t give myself the necessary space to evolve.
Moreover, the increasing demands of my work had a significant impact on my eyesight. The discomfort from two instances of eye infection added to my frustration, which was a real bummer, and I found myself feeling drained more often.
The overall experience left me yearning for more time to rest, refine my photography approach, and hone my craft, thereby pushing my boundaries.

Light trails arising from the movement of motor vehicles near the Rotunda do Istmo roundabout during a long exposure at night. This is a backlog shot that I held back for a long time as I felt was an imperfect shot, but I decided recently to publish it anyway.
The Rotunda do Istmo is a roundabout near the Cotai Strip in Macau linking four major roads to it. It has a pedestrian bridge built above it, which makes it easy to access several nearby places of interest nearby, such as the major casinos for instance.
This shot was taken on a Peak Design Travel tripod with a 31 second long exposure.
GBRf's 66733 edges across the North Viaduct on the Horseshoe curve with 6E45 0807 Fort William to North Blyth alumina empties.
The glen in this instance is the snappily named Achadh-innis Chailein which leads up to Loch Lyon and Bens Dothaidh and a' Chuirn.
Re the viaduct, the following (abridged) text from the Canmore site - this viaduct was built by Formans & McCall of Glasgow to carry the West Highland Rly across the Allt Kinglas; it opened on 11 August 1894, and remains in use. It is of lattice girder type and its length of 576 ft (175.6m) includes nine spans of 60 ft (18.3m); it was built by hoisting the girders into position with cantilever lifting tackle.

A few years ago we were lucky to have a reasonable amount of snow, which was so much fun, and this is one of the images I managed to capture. I prefer colour and rarely use b&w, but the skies were so white, so converting the image to mono did not make much difference.
There are instances when one can be surrounded by hoards of people and still feel alone, and yet at other times one can be alone and enjoy the richness of their own company.
Sprocket, in a rare instance when she can successfully stop me from whatever I was about to do and make me grab a camera for a few shots, one of which ultimately fits the weekend's Happy Caturday theme (sorry, usually of the broader ones like today's). Time constraints normally dictate the use of my everyday-carry camera, the timing was right for me to go fetch the DSLR.
Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and a fun, safe, and rewarding Happy New Year!
