it is midday but the sun stays low, october is soon over.../En still landväg i norra Uppland, det är mitt på dagen, men solen håller sig låg, snart tar oktober slut.../ Lugares silenciosos, es mediodía pero el sol ya permanece siempre bajo, termina octubre... (DSC_6936-3)

Humming birds have always fascinated me and one of my photography goals was to learn how to capture them. I am self-taught and it has been a long journey.

Perfect lighting from a momentary flash in time

The Common Moorhen also known as the waterhen or swamp chicken, is a bird species in the rail family (Rallidae). It is distributed across many parts of the Old World.

This bird is closely related to the common gallinule of the New World which has been recognized as a separate species

The Moorhen has a distinctive red frontal shield. This shield is thought to play roles in protection, mate identification, sexual selection, and territorial defense.

☼ These people in paper suits can stay for long minutes without moving, like statues. So when they start moving, many passersby are surprised and jump ... it's pretty funny. On an island in the sun, called Cayo Santa María, in the Jardines del Rey archipelago in the north center of Cuba.

Two young Balinese hanging out in the shade at mid day near a spirit house or shrine at a road in Candi Dasa, Bali.

Cloths wrapping the shrine and umbrellas designed in a checkerboard pattern symbolize the relationship between good and evil, which they believe must always be balanced.

I took this photo in 1990 with an analogue "Yashica Samurai“ (half format) camera and Kofak Gold 200, IDO 200. Late scanned with the Nikon Coolscan LS IV ED film scanner.

I love this time of year for beach photography, as it is so much quieter. Conditions on this day at Bedruthan Steps were ideal.....low tide, very little wind, and good cloud cover, which enabled me to shoot directly into the sun for lots of contrast. Venturing out on the wet sand as the tide drops, is great for capturing reflections...CD's essential for tripod feet !!! The downside to this location is climbing back up those flippin steps with all the gear....they are brutal !!! Comments will be very much appreciated..... have a great day.

Normally no time for me to go out but after this find I don't know

A bull elephant stands under the shade of a tree in the midday heat of 34C during Winter at Etosha national park, Namibia...the only movement was its ears flapping to keep cool and this very slight turn of its head acknowledging that it was aware of our presence...
