Looking south toward San Jose from Sierra Vista trail, Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve, San Jose, Calif, May 13, 2016.
Spindle (so named because the wood was used to make spindles) makes a fantastic hedge plant (or small tree in a hedge) because of its unique fall color scheme. In autumn we can enjoy the opening flaps of the fruits, from which orange seeds emerge. The berries are poisonous but the birds love them!!
I make this image public for getting an impression of the AVIF format (can be opened in the latest IrfanView, Chrome and Firefox): Link to AVIF in Google Drive
The AVIF image compression (in the HEIF container) is a very promising format as it provides good image quality in a very small package and is (in comparison to HEIC) free of any licenses. I hope Flickr as well as Google and Microsoft products will soon have full support for this innovation.
Besides the high compression efficiency the big advantage over JPEG is that a color depth per channel of 10 and even 12 bit is supported.
This sample is generated using the avifenc.exe command line encoder for windows.
I used this parameters:
avifenc.exe --cicp 2/2/1 -r limited -y 420 -j 6 --min 30 --max 40 --minalpha 30 --maxalpha 40 in.png out.avif
The result is:
- 6 threads used (for my 6 CPU cores)
- to colorspace YUV420 (422 and 444 is not supported by the Windows AV1 extension)
- 12 bit per channel
700KB for 35MP

🎧 Hear what I feel ► to play 🎧
And you’re the desert sand, I’ll be your water
And you’re the perfect plan I never thought of
I don’t wanna do this on my own
And you shouldn’t have to be alone
I would rather be alone together
Be alone together...

I found it struggle to make landscape photography work during the summer, but it's fine for planning autumn photography. I have planned this photo from June, and I finally nailed it in this week's trip to the Isle of Skye.
I chose the route from Sligachan with a total of 8 miles hike to the summit. It's only 494 meters in height, but it's steep and tough with 30 KG of camping gear and photography equipment. I had to take a few breaks before reached to the summit. The hike is challenging, but the view is definitely worth it. The northern wind blew fiercely on the summit. I set up my tent just behind these rocks, which created a perfect windbreaker and protected me from the wind gusts. Some incredible sunset I had while I was eating my dinner on the summit. I didn't get much sleep due to the noise of the wind and rain flapped the tent.
No rain, no breeze when I woke up at 5 AM. I have to say I had my faith in meteorologists, and they didn't fail me this time. The photo was taken at the blue hour (around 6 AM), followed by some fantastic sunrise photos.
What is the most inspiring thing a photographer can do? Just travel and look for new views, new emotions and new friends. So lets just make it real.
Leaving the city for some weeks to make a little trip in my country.
Here's a flipped panorama from some cute location close to Helsinki, Finland, May 2014.
Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends, see you soon.

[Listen]
Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live
Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh, you're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round
Still come back to you (still come back to you)
In rain or shine, you've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live
Oh, you're the first one when things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend, oh
Ooh, you make me live, live, live, live

”When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires, will come to you ”. 👱♀️🎧🎶 When You Wish Upon a Star ( from the movie Pinocchio, Cliff Edwards ). The image shows part of an icy candle lantern. When we have a really hard frost I make these lanterns as garden decorations in the winter. I freeze also flowers like tulips inside the lantern, as it is here.
The things that make us different
Are things that make us the same
We don’t share a first
Or even a last name
You don’t dress the way that I do
And my music hurts your ears
But as the earth is spinning
We share all seasons and years
Listen to my story
I want to hear all yours too
Then maybe at the end you’ll see
I’m just the same as you. . .
Milkweed plants have the most unique flowers. They are important to many pollinator...but hold a special place in the life of the Monarch butterfly.
"Besides monarchs, frequent visitors also include native bees, honey bees, hummingbirds, and many other types of butterflies.
Milkweed is both a food source and a host plant for monarch eggs that are laid on the underside of the leaves. The larvae feed on the leaves after hatching, but cause no permanent damage to the plant. In turn, the toxic chemicals in the sap of milkweed plants make both the caterpillars and adult butterflies unappetizing to predators."
"During monarch migration flight is fueled by nectaring on the flowers and is punctuated by laying eggs on milkweeds. To grow and sustain each generation, milkweed is the only food needed,” says Agrawal.

Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).
