From my airport visit last Summer, on the same day I took this…

…this Swiss Air flight was uniquely positioned right under a chemtrail which for once I thought was kind of useful for the shot. I notice many photographers find photos of aircraft boring, they never seem to attract the audience, however, one needs to experiment, get a bit daring and opposed to just an aircraft portrait so to speak, you have to use your imagination, the environment, the weather and get a bit more technical!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! 😊

A baix a la vall de el Segre la boira tancada no dóna treva,, m'escapo cap al nord buscant el límit,, aquí a estones surt el sol,, dóna gust notar-ho encara que sigui tímidament,,, salutacions i gràcies
Abajo en el valle del Segre la niebla cerrada no da tregua,,me escapo hacia el norte buscando el limite,,aqui a ratos asoma el sol,,que gozada,,,saludos y gracias
Down in the Segre valley, the closed fog does not let up, I escape to the north looking for the limit, here at times the sun rises, it is nice to notice it even shyly, greetings and thanks
Had a go at replacing the sky again on this one, being as the rocks gave me a really easy outline. But to keep it as close to reality as possible, the stars are blurred exactly as they were in the original - the only reason this wasn't possibly in the original was a) the North Star is a bit higher than that, it'd be about at the top of the image in this, and b) it was like 3am and we were ready to head home!
The upside is that because the stars were taken outside the house, that I could leave the camera until the batteries died, which impressively was about 10 1/2 hours. Although I did do a quick swap half way in, still not bad in freezing weather though.
This is another for a friend's music art, so I don't feel bad about the compositing, because even though it's almost real, that's not what I was going for. The idea is it looks good on Spotify on your phone:)
Kayla’s video session had dragged on hours past its limit, leaving her tired, a little sore, and absolutely famished.
Irritation simmered under her skin—her costar was quite full of himself. He’d been intentionally blowing his cues all day, forcing retake after retake, clearly enjoying himself far more than the scene required. As she pulled on her clothes, Adrienne’s earlier comment drifted back with maddening precision: maybe this really was too much work.
And the worst part—she still hadn’t been paid.
A few people lingered in the studio, stretching and chatting. Good. If she jumped straight from her dressing room, someone might wonder where she went. Better to be seen leaving through the front door.
Her muscular costar glanced up, “Rest up, darling. I’ll have something big waiting for you tomorrow.” He flashed a grin and winked. “Oh—and Carlos may be joining us.”
She returned a polite smile and wave, then stepped out into the cool evening air.
Rain. Ugh.
A few cars rolled by, but the sidewalks were nearly empty. She was too tired to look for a microwave. She headed down the block toward a spot where her vanishing wouldn’t be too obvious.
Then her senses prickled—a faint pressure at the edge of awareness. Not danger exactly… just presence. She kept walking, pretending to browse the storefronts.
A travel agency poster snagged her attention. She stopped.
It read, JOIN THE SERVICE. SEE THE UNIVERSE. What looked like an Arcturian Axiom Class starship gleamed across the image.
She blinked. Leaned closer. “Join the service? See the universe? What the F…” she muttered.
Movement flickered in the window glass. A reflection behind her. Her first thought was car headlights.
Her breath caught.
A luminous orb hovered in the street only yards away—identical to the ones they’d seen at base, but impossibly out of place here. It shouldn’t have been able to track her this far. Miles from the bunker… how had it found her?
She eased back from the window, pulse tightening, and quickened her pace toward the nearby alley.
As she turned, a flicker of movement caught in her peripheral vision. The orb was no longer small—no longer passive. It had swollen to many times its original size, its surface pulsing like a living star.
Then it lunged.
The distance vanished in a single heartbeat. Bright, searing light engulfed her, swallowing her breath, swallowing everything.
She jumped—pure instinct, pure terror.
Her eyes snapped open. Concrete walls. The familiar hum of electronics. The bunker.
Her pulse hammered against her ribs. She exhaled hard, relief flooding through her in a shaky rush.
That had been almost too late. It wasn’t observing her.
That thing was hunting her.

“The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts
to stretch the limits of things which can never become unlimited,
to reach the infinite
by absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite.”
~ Rabindranath Tagore ~
Why someone put this ladder in the water at the end of the dock, instead of a traditional wooden structure, is a bit of a mystery,
but it somehow adds intrigue to the composition.
Now I'm wondering about the depth of the pond
and the length of the ladder!
Hard to believe we actually drove through a few light snow flurries today in Rhode Island during an Artists' Studio Tour!
With this shot, I wondered what I might see if my vision were limited, to black and white. If there were no color, and even the greys were barely present. This rocky outcropping would contribute to both dimension and texture. And the brightly lit clouds would help make the point of the extreme limits of my hindered vision.
It was an experiment in extremes, and one that seems to deliver a dramatic looking scene. There was limited colour regardless, and the landscape reflected this boundary with the harsh appearance of opposites

Thank you so very very much \o/

"Sky's The Limit" is a song from 1990 by Soul and R&B band Tony! Toni! Toné!, and when I processed this photo, that old song started to play in my head. What also immediately came to mind was the very last scene of the final episode of "Star Trek Next Generation" (one of my most-favoured TV shows of all time) where TNG's main characters meet for their regular poker game, and Cpt. Picard joins them. His words "Five-card stud, nothing wild... and the sky's the limit..." are TNG's final sentence.
But enough of this fangirl stuff. "Sky's the limit" is certainly true for that bird up there soaring Berlin's skies freely. But what about the other birds in the frame, the ones you can't see? Because the "net/mesh and steel frame" in my image belongs to two large aviaries at the Kranzler Eck's patio (the former Café Kranzler was West Berlin's most well-known café). Despite being located at the busy heart of City West, the patio is a pretty relaxed place with not too many visitors, and the aviaries are spacious and also offer enough shelter for about 100 birds (mostly parakeets, but not only) who greet the visitors with quite some noise.
Processed in... well, Color Efex is what I remember because I did the finishing touches in that programme today, but this image has been a work in progress for a while so I don't recall all the single steps (as usual).
Please note that the info on the lens is wrong. I had used my Laowa 7.5mm F/2 lens, but had forgotten to change the lens info settings in the camera, so it still "thought" I'm using the 6mm lens which I'd borrowed earlier from my Mom, magrit k..
Wishing you a beautiful second half of the week, dear Flickr friends!
This location is now hard to get to , the owner has discouraged photographers from visiting. When I took this about 4 years ago I took 3 or 4 slightly different compositions so this is another in that series that I will publish from time to time.
Fantasy colourisation of a very small portion of the Quadracci Pavilion, a 2001 addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Design by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
This building placed at #59 of 150 on a list called "America's Favorite Architecture", as determined by surveys of members of the AIA (American Institute of Architects) and the public; source: www.flickr.com/groups/23735488@N00
The LVM-Building "Kristall" in Münster/Germany is 63 m high and was designed by Duk-Kyu Ryang from Korea. This one was taken with the old 50mm AiS Lens :)
En la vida no hay límites, somos nosotras las que nos limitamos.
La vida conlleva riesgos ...no existen los obstáculos, eso lo inventamos nosotras mismas para que nos sea mas cómodo decir “Yo no puedo con esto o esto otro”.
Nos resulta mas fácil rendirnos antes que luchar por algo, así nada nos hará temer en la vida.
Lo mismo pasa en el amor, adoptamos la posición de no amar y no querer tener compromisos, así no perdemos, aunque tampoco ganamos.
