This box was my Mom's full of memories of my Dad (1911-1978) from a child to WW II with letters, pictures, bible from his Mom when he went to the war and metals.

 

Smile on Saturday.

Full of Memories.

Years have passed since that day that marked my life .......

this shot reminds me of that moment

 

I work for a Piaggio dealer ;) ;)

Have never seen the Valley of Rocks so flooded with golden light as on this recent foray with the cameras with my shoot partner. (f/14, 18 mm, 1/13th sec at ISO 64).

Shooting east at sunset - a storm to the east provided a dark backdrop to the mountains, and as the sun was setting, a blast of golden light illuminated the mountain ranges beautifully.

 

The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

This is an old image of a stream flowing away from a picturesque waterfall. I was upset that I forgot to bring my ND filter for the waterfall. However, it turns out that this photo captures the waterfall in its own way.

The Yellow Rose of Friendship

Once in a while a friend is found

Who’s a friend right from the start;

Once in a while a friendship’s made

That really warms the heart

Once in a while a friendship’s found

to have a lifetime through;

It really does happen,

Just once in a while,

It happened to Me and You.

PS. Busy day today and I'm on the run, so apologies for not keeping up with all your wonderful comments and visits. I'll try to make up when I get back home later tonight!

Fields of Gold

Sting

 

You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley

You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile upon the fields of barley

In his arms she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love among the fields of barley?

We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we lie in fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so upon the fields of barley.

Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly and there have been some that I've broken

But I swear in the days still left we'll walk in fields of gold

We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days among the fields of barley

See the children run as the sun goes down among the fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley

You can tell the sun in his jealous sky when we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold, when we walked in fields of gold

Many viewers have commented that The Guardian Building (originally The Union Trust Company Building) reminded them of a church.

 

This picture shows approximately half of the bank lobby on the main floor. Imagine the original bank building with 60-90 bank teller cages lining the entire length of both sides of this "nave". The ceiling was composed of a 3/4 inch (1.9cm) of horsehair and coated with a layer of plaster cement. Then, a canvas layer was applied, and painted with designs reminiscent of the patterns of Navajo rugs. This was a sound-deadening system.

 

The "altar piece" ( I suppose) was the three-story mural of the map of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted were the major Michigan moneymakers of the1890s to 1920s: mining, manufacturing, lumber, fishing, commerce, and agriculture. It was completed in 1929, unfortunately the year of the beginning of "The Great Depression".

 

This superbly decorated Art-Deco bank building was nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance." So, if the earlier pictures reminded you of a church (reprised in the first comment below) --you were very observant : -)

Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye. Moscow (1528-1532). The church is made of brick with white stone with numerous decorative elements in the form-centric church tower, and its height is 62 meters.

One of the two Avadavats found in India, one being Red and other being Green. These are endemic to India and are incredibly rare to sight. The birds are fast disappearing due to rampant wild life trade of these birds where it is known as Green Waxbill.. The birds are currently categorized as "Vulnerable" in IUCN List and found only in a few places across the country.

 

The birds are around 10 cms long and always forage in flocks. A fellow birder found them quite by chance and we made a beeline to that place to get a glimpse of this beauty. The bird was foraging in open fields and it was impossible to get a view of it from far. We started walking very slowly and carefully only to see them appear right in front of our eyes and fly away into the bush.

 

Thank you very much in advance for your views and feedback.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

Looking Close on Friday theme: shades of purple

 

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated!

A beaut of a butte, east of Lake Powell, on the far side of Antelope Island, which lies low in the foreground, shadowed just before sunset. Note the layering on the butte and the cliffs behind, indicating sandstones and shales laid down by sedimentary processes—completely different from the massive intrusive granite blocks in Monument Valley, which are remnants of volcanic activity.

The map location may not be accurate.

"...one of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between man and nature shall not be broken.”

  

I'm wishing I was out 'connecting' with nature but instead I'm connected to a computer and desk. BUT -- good news! It is Friday and I'm looking forward to some outdoor time tomorrow. Rain and 5 degrees in the forecast but those quiet early mornings are worth getting bundled up for!

 

Happy weekend all!!

I am inspired by many things. Musically by the genius of Miles Davis, hence my title which refers to, IMHO, one of the best jazz albums of all time. Likewise I come to Flickr for photographic inspiration. My views on photography and indeed the many genres of photography that I attempt have been heavily influenced by so many talented people here on Flickr. One of them is Joseph Pearson Images, a London architectural photographer who has photographed so many of the same buildings and structures around London that I have but both of us do it in our own way. Its always interesting for me to see his take on a building that I am very familiar with myself and see what his 'eye' picked out. Usually it's something I've missed and so my education continues!

 

Yesterday Joseph posted a picture of one of my favourite underground stations here in London, Southwark station, and it got me looking back at some of the pictures I've taken over the years in this most photogenic of stations. I was surprised to see that I'd never posted this escalator shot so thought I'd do so now. Taken pre-covid, way back in 2019.

Big Horn Sheep leaping on the rocks at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. As much as I would like to tell you I had hired a guide and spent days or hours tracking them down in the wild, I took this photo and about 150 others of them playing in the campground. They come in most mornings to get water and put on a show

Hverfjall crater in Myvatn area, north of Iceland.

This shot was taken when I was out strolling around in the nearby nature reserve of "Norra Järvafältet". I was looking for a single tree located in a grassy field so I could take a "frosty, foggy" shot later this year. I didn´t found exactly what I was looking for but I found this tree and decided I should try to find some good compositions. The tree's branches form a bit of a "mushroom hat" and are fairly symmetric. I will go back in the autumn and see how the scene changes and what colors that bring. This image is processed to be on the warm side, with saturated colors and "golden" glow to it.

 

This shot was taken with my Nikon D7200 and Sigma 24-105mm f4.0 art lens.

'Bowl of Beauty' Peony is famous for its huge, hot-pink outer petals that surround a soft and frilly ivory-yellow center, with each bloom measuring up to 10" across.

 

One of the most attractive peonies available, and one of my faves to photograph ..

The Queen butterfly (Danaus gilippus) is one of three milkweed butterflies that reside in the state of Florida, along with Monarchs and Soldiers. The Queen butterfly is native to both North and South America and is a member of the Nymphalidae or brush-foot family. The adult butterfly only appears to have 4 legs as the last 2 insect legs are very small and are located near the butterfly's head. As adults, these delightful butterflies are clever mimics, utilizing Mullarian mimicry to reinforce the warning colors and distasteful qualities of several related species, gaining all species more protection from predators.

 

Seen less often than the ubiquitous Monarch, they can be distinguished by the darker brick red color of their wings that looks very different from the Monarch’s bright orange coloration. The topside of their wings lacks black lines that follow the veins on a Monarch’s wing.

 

I found this male along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County Florida.

Found this while digging around in the archive. From our visit to the gardens on the Isle of Mainau in Konstanz, Germany. A lovely, lovely place filled with gardens and trails and benches and many, many flowers.
