This beautiful photo of "Brush islet" (ilôt Brosse) was taken in Isle of Pines with a Canon EOS 700D camera in New Caledonia, somewhere on planet Earth. Enjoy seeing the world differently with Love and Light! (posted at 3:00 a.m)
We’re still under a sever Arctic cold snap where the temperature dipped to -32 Celsius in certain areas of Ontario—ours is hovering around -22 C today. This capture was taken a few days ago before the cold wave started. Anyway and regardless of the freezing weather, we look to welcoming the first chapter of the New Year with warm hearts. Please keep warm and safe. Have a wonderful day.
Most common roadside raptor across much of North America. Often perches atop telephone poles, light posts, and edges of trees. Incredible variation in plumages, including less common dark morphs and various regional differences. Eastern adults have brilliant reddish-orange tail and pale underparts with obvious band of dark marks across belly. Western birds are typically darker. Immatures do not have a red tail. (eBird)
Based on the pale eye and the stripes in the tail, this is an immature bird. It will molt into its adult plumage this fall.
Of course, it has chosen the ugliest perch it could find, on a light post on the road between the new Amazon distribution centre and the big box shopping centre. Still, based on its full crop, it's not lacking for hunting skills or food.
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. March 2022.
Wintereinbruch im April und ich muss zugeben: mir gefällt's. Eigentlich könnte man fast eine Faustregel aufstellen: je ungemütlicher das Wetter, desto spannender für den Landschaftsfotografen.
Onset of winter in April and I have to admit: I like it. Actually, one could almost set up a rule of thumb: the more uncomfortable the weather, the more exciting it is for the landscape photographer.
My last post and then you will have the house and the name,
some of you already mentioned the name or something similar,
I think this year I enjoy the simplicity of it.
This photograph was taken last Sunday at Lower Seletar Reservoir, looking from Heritage Bridge towards Orchid Country Club and beyond.
It was a beautiful morning, with slight breeze. The sun was rising above some vegetation and light posts of the country club. The sun was partially hidden by clouds and leaves of the palm trees.
After photographing the American Goldfinch and a few other things, I returned home with the dogs only to find that the Female Red-tailed Hawk that I had previously photographed, had perched on the light post at the side of my driveway. Well what a surprise that was, I quickly grabbed the camera and started shooting. She didn't seem to mind the dogs running around underneath her, but just continued to look around. I was amazed that she could perch so well on a rather smooth lamp post, she did slide once but caught herself gracefully and perched again.
Called the Queen of the Adriatic, Venice has a setting that no other city in the world can rival. It is a network of rii (streams), canali (canals) calli (streets) and campi (squares). The richness and charm of Venice does not derive solely from the presence of significant works of architecture and art (Bellini, Tiziano, Veronese, Tintoretto, Palladio, Sansovino, and many others) but also from the general layout of the city and its way of life. “The rules change in Venice,” I’m told by Janys Hyde, long-time Venice resident and friend. For me, Venice is pure magic. In some ways the city is like a movie set tho' it's not fair to minimize Venice to make believe.
Venice is unique among all great cities of the world in that its streets are full of water. Made up of 118 islands only two to four feet above sea level, crisscrossed by 117 canals, and connected by some 360 bridges, its main avenue is the curving Grand Canal, its buses are the vaporetti. There is no other city in the world of this size and sophistication where the automobile is absent. With no better way to explain, Venice is all about the water. Janys tells me “when furniture is delivered to your home, it’s done by boat or when an ambulance is called it arrives on the water. To truly understand and ‘get in touch with Venice’ one must embrace the water.” Embrace I did, and instantly, feeling a sigh of relief from the usual bells, pollution and whistles of the big city.

Here is a photo I took back in January of 2020. An empty parking lot, on a cold, wet winter's night. Photo was made with a Canon 80D, with a EF-S 18-135mm lens. Photo was changed to b+w during post-processing.

Estamos cerca del solsticio de verano. Mediodía. Luz vertical muy intensa. Los postes apenas proyectan sombras.
Último día antes del cierre temporal de esta línea por obras.
El tren (S592) circula en sentido hacia Alcoi. Su próxima Estación es Albaida.
*********************************
Renfe medium distance train (Regional Xátiva-Alcoi) passing through the halt of BUFALI (Valencia)
We are close to the summer solstice. Midday. Very intense vertical light. Posts hardly cast shadows
Last day before the temporary closure of this railway line by works.
The train is moving in direction towards Alcoi. Its next Station is Albaida.
Well, I have been off this cookie shit and out to the real world for sometimes now (super busy) and do you want to know what's it like in the real world? Well, the food and drinks are better, but beyond that, I don't recommend it.
Cortona is a hilltop town in Tuscany, Italy. The views from the top is magnificent. The previous day we had the only day of rain riding into the steep hilltop town. This is the after effect the next morning! Tuscany does have special light.
A little mixture of everything in this one...fog, clouds, and blue hour...and, of course, the riverwalk in New Orleans... :)
I pulled into work yesterday morning and there she was, perched atop the light post again. Grabbed my camera and got right under her. She kept checking me out but didn't fly away.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Just starting to head out, it's lightly raining, but feeling very optimistic, slept well and have a good audio book playing to entertain my mind and help the miles speed away. A good start!
There are photos that everyone takes, and Tucumcari has those by the score. This is one of them.
As photographers, I think we should be looking for new photos. And when we can't, we should be looking for new ways to shoot old photos. And when that fails, we should rely upon shitty film and a questionable lens to deliver old photos in a different way.
And I think that's what this is. Probably.
I've shot the old Alco before. It's essentially required by law for anyone passing through town. But with this one, I wanted to dizzy heat of the day to bleed through the lens.
The sky was cloudless (like almost every sky for me this summer), and a cloudless sky needs something more. Whether that something is for it to simply not exist or it's an unnaturally blue hue with the fires of hell coming in from the left, just know that it needs something.
The lighter blue streak centering itself between the left frame and the light post is god talking. Thanks for dropping by.

Location: Historic Gastown
Building: Leckie Building
Gastown is the historic core of Vancouver, and is the city's earliest, most historic area of commercial buildings and warehouses.
The lights and colours are constantly changing on this building in different shades of red, purple and blue.
The Leckie Building is a massive cubic seven-storey Edwardian era warehouse/factory building located at the southeast corner of Cambie and Water Street in the historic district of Gastown. Built in 1908 and a large addition to the east was constructed in 1913. Exterior: brick and granite. Internal structure: built of massive timber elements.
Gastown is the historic core of Vancouver, and is the city's earliest, most historic area of commercial buildings and warehouses.
The Leckie Building is representative of the importance of Gastown as the trans-shipment point between the terminus of the railway and Pacific shipping routes, and the consequent expansion of Vancouver into western Canada's predominant commercial centre in the early 20th century
