“Sometimes it’s easy just to get… stuck. Stuck with what’s comfortable, stuck in what we know, what we think makes us happy.”
I heard this quote in an intro to a song recently and it struck a cord with me personally.
While 2014 is coming to end, I look back on all of the memories and places I traveled to. In 2015, I already have at least one west coast trip planned and several other trips that I'm still trying to iron out plans for.
With that said, I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe New Year!

An abstract image of the beach at Cramond, near Edinburgh, Scotland at low tide. I liked the textures and patterns that had been left by the receding tide.
Edited (very briefly) in Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro.
Some days ago I took a closer look at Nik´s Analog Efex Pro, this is one of the results :)
Shot on my way home from work.

This shot has been taken during one of my sunrise sessions in Rosolina Mare (see my What a meaningful world... for information about that peculiar location).
In its conception this is a humble shot, just the first of a series of exposure bracketings to be stitched and blended into a panorama. Not enough spare time even to think of such an endeavour now - but I have realized that this shot could have a life of its own, so I have processed it and... here it is.
I was fascinated by the rampant, mighty, glowing cloud on the left - something like a rampart against the shadows of the night - and this "detail" of that sunrise puts it in the limelight. Hope that you will enjoy this view, my friends!
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] 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.

Camera: Canon EOS 1000D
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1,8 II
Exposure: 1/400 sec.
Aperture: f/8
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO: 200
Lighting info: Natural light
Format: RAW
Processing: Adobe Camera Raw 6.0, PS Dodge and Burn and Nik Software Color Efex Pro.
Seen at the "Jungfraujoch", Europe´s highest railway station.
The basic b&w edit was done with Nik´s Silver Efex Pro. I wanted another size than the original 4:3 ratio from my point-and-shoot-Canon, so after that I used the Liquid-Rescaling-Filter for Gimp for a 3:2 format, because of compo-reasons I didn´t want to cut the image.
On rare occasions, the wind embeds a leaf between the two poles on my bird feeder; it happened one time last year, as well. This is not staged but a quirk of nature which I happily take advantage of so expect more pics of this subject.
Awesome colors from the red maple in my backyard.
Usually, I'm quite able to determine which images to select and how to process them but this one has me stumped--is it a B&W or a color image? I figured I could put it up here on Flickr and get some opinions from my photo-friends :)
So, does this work better in B&W or in color? Why? I can't keep both of them so I figure I'll try something new and use the hive mind help me figure it out.

Thanks alot for the latest explores! It's absolutely awesome:)
We could see our mountain hut for hours. We were so close and yet so far :D
The Sigma 35mm 1.4 did a really good job, it's now one of my favourite lenses:)
Thanks for your support! Have a great week:)
