After I processed this there was only one title and one song that came to mind....

"My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit.

Can we forget

About the things

I said when I was drunk?

I didn't mean to call you that

I can't remember

What was said or

What you threw at me

Please tell me

Please tell me why

My car is in the front yard

And I'm sleeping

With my clothes on

I came in through the

Window last night

And you're gone

It's no surprise to me

I am my own worst enemy

'Cause every now and then

I kick the living sh*t out of me

The smoke alarm is going off

And there's a cigarette

Still burning

Please tell me why

My car is in the front yard

And I'm sleeping

With my clothes on

I came in through the

Window last night

And you're gone

Please tell me why

My car is in the front yard

And I'm sleeping

With my clothes on

I came in through the

Window last night

It's no surprise to me

I am my own worst enemy

'Cause every now and then

I kick the living sh*t out of me

Can we forget about the

The things I said

When I was drunk?

I didn't mean to call you that

The full moon looking like the sun above the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Taken before dawn from Crissy Field.

I loved how the sunlight lit the ferns on the trails at Golden Gardens.

The Northern Lights put on a show that allowed me to take some pictures of our home that I never imagined would be possible.

City of Gold Coast after sunset, seen from Burleigh Heads.

Who would have thought!!! There are moments when dreams come true; this is one of those. We had Aurora, we were in Death Valley, there were clouds, they parted for ten minutes, and I made my shot!

Taken with a Sony A7RII in Belfast

Manhattan skyline shot from the Rockefeller building......

Thanks for looking,

Chris.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊

First California Poppy shot of the year.

If one were so inclined to take decent night street photos they could head to the theatre district and take them under well lit marquee signs.

shall I take this down? I'm never sure...

explored highest #116! :D

VTEC HST passes bridge 33 (the bridge before colton junction) the evening lighting makes the shot!

enhanced via gimp mobile phone shot from tonight outside in the garden.

Street in Yerevan, Armenia. What jumped out to me were the bright lit windows, with the chandeliers pouring out light onto the street. The stone of the building has nice rugged structure and gives some interest and beauty to the scene.

Photo details: Exposure 1/3 sec at f/8 (ISO 100), Camera E-M10 with a OLYMPUS M.12mm F2.0 lens at 12mm.

La luce migliore viene sempre per prima .. :D

Low light RP images. I like this camera but I pick up the R6 on Tuesday. The RP may be in the pile of gear to get traded.

The Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne, aka “Lit & Phil” as it is popularly known, is a historical library. It’s the largest independent library outside London. The library is still available for both lending (to members) and as a free reference library. It houses over 160,000 books.

It was founded in 1793 as a "conversation club" by the Reverend William Turner c.s. The annual subscription was originally one guinea. The Lit & Phil retains its mission: to educate the people of Newcastle and the surrounding area. There are currently around 2000 members, the highest figure for decades; since 1952 to be precise. Next to literature, it has an outstanding music library.

The Lit & Phil is a public building and everyone is welcome to use it. Just go up the stairs and enter the library. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. It is allowed to take photos inside as long as you respect the house rules. So, please take the time for a visit. It is a hidden gem and waiting for you to discover it.

Technical stuff

This is a single shot photo. I used a sigma fisheye lens (15mm). So no pano as you might expect of me.

Post-production included nothing much. I tinkered a little with the curves tool in PS CC to give it a HDR-look; but is actually isn’t. And as always, I added some copyright watermarks. They are, alas, there to stay due to the frequent copying of my photos. So, don't bother commenting on that.

Collioure recèle des richesses maritimes et architecturales incomparables. Port catalan, village de pêcheurs, patrimoine médiéval et couleurs ensoleillées de la côte méditerranéenne, vous comprendrez mieux pourquoi Matisse, Derain et Picasso ont décidé d’y planter leurs chevalets. Découvrez une belle escale des Pyrénées Orientales, connue aussi sous le nom de perle de la côte Vermeille.
