Snow and more snow... We had gone to the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula because there was a nearby 'dark park' where we'd hoped to see the Aurora Borealis. Alas, we had nothing but clouds and snow during our time there...
I'm late on my project already. 😕 Hope to catch up soon. #London #Uk #Waterloo #lightpost #fish #line #lamppost #sunset #365 #365days #project365 #southbank
Ice crystals suffuse the air with translucent diffraction, while the products of an industrial civilisation pierce the night with their illuminations. The brightest lights, confused by the cold project not only down and around but straight up into the sky as if they are trying to escape to space, but those wayward photons are slowly absorbed and scattered by the myriad crystals of frozen water in the frigid air. Their energetic voyaging initiated at 186,000 miles per second is predictably derailed, and their paths obliviated as surely as in the deeps of a dark and bottomless sea. Everywhere the pervasive cold of a Yukon night slowly wins against the protests of those ordered beams. Entropy wins the night.
This photo was taken from the edge of the Alaska Highway near the airport in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. Ambient air temperature was about minus twenty degrees Celcius and there was a mild breeze blowing. The buildings located across the highway from the shooting position are mostly a collection of aircraft hangars and associated structures.
The camera used for this image was the Canon EOS R and lens used was the Laowa Argus FFII 35mm f/0.95. Both were mounted on a Jobu Designs tripod with a Acratech ball head. This is a single exposure photograph processed from raw in DxO PhotoLab 6.1.1. Nothing was added or removed from the image other than a mild crop from top, bottom and right sides. The shafts of vertical light represented in this photo were also clearly visible to the naked eye and are recorded here as seen.
Digging out an old collection of India pictures I took several years ago during my first trip there. This was taken while waiting for my early morning train at the station at Udaipur.
I also took the time to reedit another shot that was taken in Kerala: flic.kr/p/ia7bY7

2nd picture that's ended up on Explore!
Get it?.....instead of the yellow brick road, haha.
The building in the distance with the dome is the Via Rail Station and also where I work for Environment Canada. I'm lucky to have all the shops and restaurants at The Forks right outside the door, not to mention the Human Rights Museum and other cool areas to see. Great for lunch or a walk along the trails.
Below are a few places I took cell phone pics on a stroll a few weeks ago.

Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/Dickson-Hill-HC...:
Dickson Hill is one of the most unique communities in the City of Cambridge.
Dickson Hill is named for the Honourable William Dickson, a prominent Galt settler who arrived to the area in 1816. Dickson is credited with founding the Village of Galt due to his considerable land holdings and was responsible for much of the commercial development on the west bank of the Grand River.
His son, William Dickson Jr., acquired most of the lands that currently make up the residential area of Dickson Hill. His own residence, located at 16 Byng Avenue was constructed in 1832. The development of the residential component occurred over several decades and by a series of developers. Florence Dickson, niece to William Dickson Jr., and his heir, controlled the development of this area until the 1890’s.
Dickson Hill features an extremely high concentration of significant buildings of various types: residential, institutional, commercial and manufacturing. In addition to the buildings, key elements that define the character of Dickson Hill are:
• Tree-lined streets;
• Distinctive globe street lights; and
• Prominent urban public spaces and landscape features.
This is an HDR with all Photomatix controls on overdrive. This was taken at dusk, just before it became compleatly dark. So it's a kind of night photography. The dynamic range of the scene is really difficult to handle. To get both detail in the clouds as well as the brightly lit lightposts requires a small workaround. Most prosumer DSLR's can only take 3 shots on AEB mode with maximum +/- 2EV spacing. Here I took 4 shots at f8.0 (1/8s, 0.5s, 2.0s, 8.0s) and to be honest I had two extra exposures for 0.5s and 2.0s which I accidentally threw in as well and I have no idea if they make any difference.
In photoshop I only used the curves tool in LAB mode and reduce noise to the sky.
I know that the composition could be better. I would have preferred to position the camera more to right and have the church more to the right and the lightpost a bit more to the right. But would have been difficult because of a house just outside the left part of the frame.
A pair of Cooper's Hawks have a nest right in the neighborhood and have been providing great views for passerby's. The size difference between the male and the female is pretty obvious up close, and the male has been bringing food back to the nest a couple of times a day.
Study of part of one of the light posts that line each side of Balboa Park's Cabrillo Bridge.
I liked the colors created by the flaking paint, and obviously it's quite a target for spider webs.

Paseo Fernando Quiñones is located at one end of La Caleta beach and is formed by a long and narrow promenade over the sea. This narrow strip of land is actually called an isthmus because it has water on both sides. This bridge connects the mainland with the nearby Cádiz Lighthouse and the Castle of San Sebastián that is found at the end of it. This walkway has wonderful vistas along with stunning views of the sunset!

. . . I was expecting to possibly spot a nice Snowy Owl, but instead a Red Tailed Hawk was on a lightpost checking the area out for mice. This is a good sign, that all the new construction around Chums Corner will not scare away the raptors from hunting here.
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Crossing Jirásek Bridge. The postmodernist eyesore to the right of the lightpost is the Dancing House
