It was the longest time that I waited for taking a sunset photo…I found the right place around 2 p.m. in Riomaggiore…As this is very touristic village, I decided to wait all afternoon long to keep this place…I was right…There were around 200 people around waiting for this great sunset…I’m glad that there are many sunset lovers in this universe…So, it was around 11p.m. when I finished my photo taking session…A little bit late for the great Italian dinner, but it’s worth it…;) BeNowMeHere, Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre, Italy, 2015 via 500px ift.tt/1NbcDjH

I promise that this is the last of the Loons I just had to post a sunset for Our Daily Topic so here it it...

Indeed for Lossky, the autonomous self is a sort of blasphemy, a broken mirror that reflects God’s image as a grotesque and diabolical disfigurement. Only in the social exchange of kenotic selves, each going beyond itself towards another, is God’s image restored. Humanness is not wholeness, self-mastery, self-containment: we are most human when we are cracked, when each self bleeds out into the lives of others.
--Christ the Stranger: The Theology of Rowan Williams, by Benjamin Myers, pg. 17
The incredible scenery of a recent evening.
Five minutes before it was even more spectacular, perhaps beyond imagination, ...
... but I arrived just in time to take this photo.

I am afraid to say to much as I'll probably give it away. But this was fun for me to try to figure out how to shoot.

"Time, like a petal in the wind
Flows softly by
As old lives are taken
New ones begin
A continual chain
Which lasts throughout eternity
Every life but a minute in time
But each of equal importance."
Benjamin Franklin

Yup , this was meant to be a bird to get a shot for SSC this week , and what do I get - a squirrel !! There have been a number of birds about so far this week from Blue Tits to Pigeons on the table , the seed feeder and the fat snax feeder and to be honest , a random capture may well do for my SSC shot even if I clipped the end of it's tail off .
However , the squirrel seems to be tucking in well and come the end of the summer it will be all over the curly - whirly tree after the hazelnuts .
Hope everyone have a great holiday!!!
Sorry for yesterday I'm not around cause work to late night! and off for today,

More practice with reflections and highlights today. I need to put together a kit of items for food. I struggled to balance the apple with the knife and I was worried about it falling off the table and onto my foot. Therefore, I couldn't show the whole apple or it would reveal my crazy prop system. Any tips or ideas on how to prop is always appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help and comments!
It's Raining Men ♫♪♫ Immer diese leeren Versprechungen - letztendlich kam dann doch nur Wasser vom Himmel ... :-))))))))
~~~It was cloudless last night and therefore there were multiple reports of a suspicious red flash.
The Origami Institute for Strange Flying Things (STF) has investigated it and comes to the conclusion, that it is not Santa Claus, but the Witch Queen of New Orleans, also known as Marie La-Voodoo-Veau, the Wicked Witch.
Her help has been enlisted by other witches with less magical powers for one of the famous potions, temporarily turning you into a skeleton. And why???
Well, tomorrow a party is organized by Smile on Saturday! :-) - group and you only may enter if it has something to do with 'Bones'.~~~~
Maybe I will see you there? ;-))
Thanks Juan for the inspiration for this song:

It was the most difficult bird I have photographed so far.
I had to climb down and climb a deep ravine to reach the place where these magnificent birds were.
The light was very dim and they were always hidden in the middle of the branches

When you're ready come and get it
Na-na-na-na
When you're ready come and get it
Na-na-na-na
When you're ready

Na-na-na-na
You ain't gotta worry, it's an open invitation
I'll be sittin' right here, real patient
All day, all night, I'll be waitin' standby
Can't stop because I love it, hate the way I love you
All day, all night, maybe I'm addicted for life, no lie
I'm not too shy to show I love you, I got no regrets
I love you much too, much to hide you, this love ain't finished yet
This love ain't finished yet
So baby, whenever you're ready
When you're ready come and get it
Na-na-na-na
When you're ready come and get it
Na-na-na-na
When you're ready
When you're ready come and get it
Na-na-na-na
You got the kind of love that I want, let me get that (let me get that, yeah)
And baby, once I get it, I'm yours, no take-backs
Gon' love you for life, I ain't leaving your side
Even if you knock it, ain't no way to stop it
Forever you're mine, baby I'm addicted, no lie, no lie
I'm not too shy to show I love you, I got no regrets
So baby, whenever you're ready
It was a time
Of frozen mornings
And barren trees
While I watched
The sky darken
As bit by bit
Pieces of the sun
Cracked
And fell away
It was a time
Of miracles
And changes
A time
When the earth
Once filled with green
Turned snowy white
Much like
The color of my hair
It was a time
When I was alone
In the night
And my thoughts
Filled empty rooms
With voices of those
I had loved
Dancing to
Lost music
It was a time
That I heard
From a distance
My voice repeating
Over and over
And over again
It was a time
It was a time
It was a time

It was summer and very hot, we heard on the radio that the horses on the Bile plateau lacked water, and we took some 200 liters in canisters, as much as could fit in a personal car. It's not much, but a small drop and a sign of good will. Fortunately, it rained tomorrow and the puddles from which the horses drink filled up at least a little. These two beauties looked at us gratefully and posed for this wonderful photo.
It felt more like walking in Autumn rather than Summer with all the cobwebs and mist of recent days.
