Dave's Old Trucks in Sprague, Washington is an interesting stop for capturing decaying old trucks. The trucks lend themselves to some nice artistic impressions.
This image was captured with a Nikon D-1 camera with a 70-210mm D SERIES lens using the Nikon electronic file format (.Nef) Shot on Lexar Flash media. All file was post processed using NIKON capture.

I really appreciated the humor these ladies put into their outfits.
Just found out this image made it on to the Explore page for April 15, 2021. Thank you all for liking my photo. 😁
I like how the interior turned out but wish there was a better background. Another oldie from Sprague, Washington.
I have friend who lives on her family four-generational farm. Some of it has been left alone with quite a collection; with old run down houses such as this one. Great photo ops.
Thanks for your views, faves and comments!
Shot some time ago in Frankfurt and edited with Nik´s Silver Efex Pro. Somehow I lost the Exif´s, but I think is was shot with my Tokina 11-16mm.
Vakantie Münster: bezoek Schloss Nordkirchen, stad Münster (o.a. kerken, Friedenssaal, burg en dierentuin), burg Vischering.
Schloss Nordkirchen is een paleis in de Duitse gemeente Nordkirchen. Het werd gebouwd in de periode van 1703 tot 1734 in barokke stijl. Het wordt door zijn omvang ook wel het Westfaalse Versailles genoemd.
This image was taken on Sunday 12th June 2015 up at the Pontypool / Blaenavon station where the WWII re-enactment took place.
My thanks to all the people that very kindly posed for me today ... and also for Jeff (Jeffda2) for yet another great day out !
This shot was taken during one of my sunrise sessions in Rosolina Mare (see my What a meaningful world... for information about that peculiar location).
Session over: back home - or so I thought. The sun had already climbed some of his way above the horizon and the sky was enlivened by an everchanging play of light and shade as the clouds and the sun was struggling for supremacy in the heavens. A lone sailing boat was gently gliding through the gleaming waters - it looked so small and fragile under such a sky, yet so bold... I could not avoid recalling Ulysse's tale in Dante's Inferno, Canto xxvi, 124-125:
And having turned our stern unto the morning,
We of the oars made wings for our mad flight *
How many choices we have made and will make... Some of them were bold ones, leading to "mad flights". But a defining feature of being human is that we should point to better ourselves and to gain new knowledge of the world we live in - and of the world which lives inside ourselves. I think that these are just different sides of the very process of being human - something you can not attain once and for all, rather a continuing, neverending journey. After all, again quoting from Ulysses' tale, we
were not made to live like unto brutes,
But for pursuit of virtue and of knowledge.
(Inferno, xxvi, 119-120)
A lifelong journey worth to be undertaken. My journey. And yours, too, so... bon voyage, my friends!
* We should actually change "stern" to "bow", since while Ulysses' journey was westward, that depicted in this scene is eastward, heading for the rising sun. Oh, and presumably no oars here, just sails translucent in the golden light of a new day.
(I quoted from the renowned translation of the Divine Comedy by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1st edition 1867)
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.3/0/+1.3 EV] (from a single RAW file) by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4 plus a small trick of mine involving a bw version of the image generated with Nik Silver Efex pro 2).

An early morning shot of Wilderness Lodge through the trees on our way to the boat dock and Magic Kingdom. I was really happy with how it was framed and the beautiful golden light bathing the trees. Please let me know what you think and as always, Enjoy!
