From a welcome breath of fresh air on Saturday, when we made most of the sunny spell in between winter storms! I had spotted the carpet of snowdrops earlier during the week so was happy to return with the family and the sun just showing up behind Crediton church.

Another misty morning visit to a local wood yesterday, though there wasn’t near as much mist/fog as the day before. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get out on that day as I was waiting in for a delivery, which never turned up😡.
As the mist wasn’t as moody as I would’ve liked, I looked for details instead. Again I came across a number of these “Fairy Doors” set against the base of trees. There was even a “Fairy Village” with a church.
The journey to Janjehli, a little village in the Himalayas is an enchanting and fascinating experience. Janjehli is loved by trekker and nature lover alike, where tourists find the serene beauty of nature. The place is endowed with natural beauty with hills covered with pine and deodar trees. The beauty of this cluster of trees, with summer leaves reflecting the light of the sunrays falling on them with white floating clouds in perfect clear deep blue sky over them, took my breath away!

Another photo of the friendly swan at Horn Pond in Woburn MA. When do their babies hatch? I've been busy but I want to be sure to go back and try to see some cygnets. It must be within the next month.

Low angle light casting the shadow of a shop awning onto a nearby wall. The sun was a couple of minutes minutes away from sinking below rooftop level at this point.

A deceptive shot from beautiful rugged Ayrmer Cove in South Devon. Those 'mountains' are just a few feet high but the low angle and the rock pool made me think of an alpine setting. It was the first time we came to Ayrmer Cove at low tide, so we spent hours exploring the rocks and rock pools.

I believe that the most important skill in photography is the ability to see and sense things. You must be really open, sensitive to different moods, lights, colors. Great technique is important, but more important is the passion for learning. True passion makes you learn fast and the right things. When your heart is ”burning”, no-one can smother your flame.
It is also important to be humble. It keeps you open and you can learn from others better than you. You can’t evolve if you are bitter and envy others.
So, thank you for inspiring me everyday! ❤

Where the ceiling still shines and columns still smile. A masterpiece of ancient Egyptian art
Stepping back in time within the beautifully preserved Dendera Temple of Hathor, framing the interior of the grand hypostyle hall and marveling at the vibrant colors. A journey through history, where every column has a story to tell.
The massive columns feature capitals carved on four sides with the face of the goddess Hathor, who was associated with joy, music, and motherhood. The columns and walls are covered in extensive, detailed hieroglyphic carvings and reliefs, providing insights into ancient Egyptian mythology and rituals.
The ceiling above still retains much of its original, vibrant paint and is decorated with detailed astronomical scenes, including stars, the goddess Nut, and zodiac signs.
Portions of the vibrant blue ceiling decoration, which once featured astronomical carvings like the famous Dendera zodiac, are still visible.
The image uses a low-angle perspective, looking upwards and through the massive columns towards the rear of the hall. This technique emphasizes the monumental scale and height of the ancient Egyptian architecture, creating a sense of awe and grandeur.
The composition is dominated by the large, intricately carved columns which fill the foreground and midground. They feature distinctive Hathor-headed capitals. The columns act as leading lines and framing elements, drawing the viewer's eye deeper into the temple interior.
Natural light enter from the front and above, illuminating the foreground columns brightly and creating strong contrasts and shadows that highlight the depth and texture of the carvings. The back of the hall is more dimly lit, adding to the sense of mystery and depth.
The photograph showcases the remarkable preservation of color on the ceiling and the column capitals, with vibrant blues and yellows still visible. The entire surface of the columns and ceiling is covered in detailed hieroglyphs and reliefs depicting divine scenes and mythologies.
The structure showcases the advanced artistry and ingenuity of ancient Egyptian architecture, making it one of the best-preserved temple complexes from ancient Egypt.
