In 2006 I had two times the opportunity to migrate into the valley of the Havasupai Indians and see this magnificent waterfall and take pictures of course. Unfortunately, destroyed a flood in 2008 a part of the beautiful lime sinter terraces .
The Havasupai Indians are also called "the people of the blue-green water". Blue-green has been the water the day before. In the night, however, it had rained heavily in the mountains, so that in the early morning a red-brown muddy broth rolled into the valley, probably a not-often-seen drama.
Unfortunately, a strong wind blew, so a fine spray of dirty water dyed everything including the camera.
In 2006 hatte ich zwei mal die Gelegenheit, in das Tal der Havasupai Indianer zu wandern und diesen großartigen Wasserfall zu sehen und natürlich zu fotografieren. Leider zerstörte eine Flut im Jahr 2008 einen Teil der schönen Kalk-Sinter-Terrassen.
Die Havasupai Indianer werden auch "die Leute vom blaugrünen Wasser" genannt. Blau-grün ist das Wasser auch am Tag vorher gewesen. In der Nacht hatte es jedoch in den Bergen stark geregnet, so dass sich am frühen Morgen überraschend eine rot-braune schlammige Brühe in das Tal wälzte, vermutlich ein nicht oft gesehenes Schauspiel.
Leider wehte ein starker Wind, weshalb sich ein feiner Sprühnebel des schmutzigen Wassers auf alles einschliesslich der Kamera legte.

Windows of Opportunity is a macro photograph of a Ficus leaf. This version blended the black and white version with the original, which was photographed on a light box.. A filter was added at 15 percent opacity to warm the leaf up a little bit. I will be off for two weeks starting tomorrow! Have a creative fortnight!
I came upon a serendipity moment the other morning as I noticed a perfect little window in the trees that let in the light & gave me a peak at the world beyond. This little window was created by Mother Nature and luckily I had my camera handy so that I could capture the magic while it lasted. I call this a window of opportunity.

TURN A DIFFICULTY INTO A NEW OPPORTUNITY
I had the opportunity to see one chick on a rock for few minutes
Then an adult arrived and he forced the young to move
J'ai eu l'occasion d'observer un poussin sur un rocher pendant quelques minutes.
Puis un adulte est arrivé et a forcé le jeune à se déplacer.

This is a traditional Yorkshire fishing vessel called a "Coble" that once fished out of Scarborough..It now lies in a semi-derelict state at South Ferriby on the banks of the River Humber,
In Parkes, NSW, for the David Malin Awards, I was told the normal floodlighting on The Dish radio telescope would be turned off to allow a timelapse to be made for the CSIRO. I hadn't planned to shoot The Dish as many others already have, but without the excess lighting, and given I didn't find a better site I thought I should try. Sigma lens, processed in Lightroom.
It just struck me that I have photographed this door a couple of times, been by it hundreds of times, seen the changes around the face of the door, but never ever peek beyond the door. I think I am Inspired to do so next time I am there.
Towards the sun but conveniently (with a few side steps from me) positioned between two conifers this Kestrel presented something of an unusual opportunity
Not classic photography
But different photography
And I'm always interested in something different!
“If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU.”
― Mandy Hale
I had not taken a picture in MN since leaving 5 years ago. This vacation though, I brought the camera in case there was something worthwhile. Since I spend most of my fall vacation up the shore, when we got to Silver Bay it was right around the time the 1100 train should be arriving if it ran. I went up to the lookout spot to survey the yard and didn't see any loads. A good sign perhaps. I then checked out the new (to me) walking trail that parallels the yard. Sure enough as soon as we got down there, the loads had just pulled in. In a funny twist of fate, the whole day I had been hoping for a trio of gray units, but knowing that shooting those is like finding a needle in a haystack, I resigned myself to the fact it was going to be an ACe-70M pair. If the ugly black thing was leading back, I was going to abandon this plan altogether. Imagine my shock when the trio of gray 40's rolled by headed back west! While the colors weren't quite peak, they were pretty damn good. Thus, I took my first train picture in MN in 5 years. I'm glad I did. Finally, it wouldn't be an NSM train without the headlights being off!
The sparrowhawk is surely one of the UK's most striking raptors.
Unfortunately this male's own strike was far from successful and his chosen prey had long since fled when I took this shot.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
When I was sent to Battle Creek to work nights for a couple days a few years ago when they were cutting over CP Baron, I wanted to visit the small farm town of Bellevue about 10 miles east of the yard. The perfect opportunity presented itself in the form of a pair of barns on A451. After snaking my way through the god-awful twisting roads in that area, it wasn't long before the pair came out of the dark and passed the classic mill in the heart of town that seems to be the victim of an eccentric painter.
Opportunities are rare sometimes. Bummer when you miss them but you have to move on. Have a wonderful Friday and a terrific weekend.

Just typical...spend a glorious week in Torridon searching for photo opportunities in fantastic conditions....get home and take the dog for a short walk and come across some fabulous drifts!
This Saturday morning, my wife and I took the opportunity to visit again the Liquidambar trees, which were splendid, in their best moment of Autumn color.
As it had been raining all the night before, and it seemed that it was going to rain again, the park was practically empty, which we appreciated a lot to be able to breathe calmly, not hear noises and be able to take the photos in complete peace.
The Liquidambar leaves were more vibrant than ever after the early morning rain. We loved seeing them.
I hope you like the photo. I take this opportunity to wish you a happy last weekend in October.

La magia del Otoño, Parque Juan Carlos I, Madrid, España
Esta mañana de sábado, mi mujer yo aprovechamos para visitar nuevamente los Liquidambar, que estaban esplendorosos, en su mejor momento de color del Otoño.
Como estuvo lloviendo toda la noche anterior, y parecía que iba a volver a llover, el parque se encontraba prácticamente vacío, lo cual agradecimos mucho para poder respirar tranquilos, no escuchar ruidos y poder hacer las fotos tranquilamente.
Las hojas de los Liquidambar estaban más vibrantes que nunca después de la lluvia de la madrugada. Nos encantó verlas.
Espero que os guste la foto. Aprovecho para desearos un feliz último fin de semana de Octubre.

A great opportunity to shoot moon when its full and traveling between the overcast. A bit difficult to set the exposure as the light changes every other second. Too much and you will loose details and too little then you won't get the clouds. Also since the moon is constantly on the move, you cannot do bracketing and later merge as you will get a slight motion and won't get a perfect merge. And I hate photoshopping anything that ain't there on the photograph. So the best option is to take multiple shots and hope one does come out with all details you would want in the shot!
Thanks for your favorites and comments, I highly appreciate them!

There was no queue for this shot but normally there would be. I think 2021 will live long in the memory for the year that tourism basically stopped
Some doors are meant to be closed , and when you try to reopen them , remember why they were closed in the first place .
There is a very tiny sediment pond (about the size of a bathtub) at Rockburn. It had an amazing array of odes on it. This Twelve-spotted Skimmer was happy to pose.
When opportunity knocks, you have to make sure that you have everything just the way it needs to be, nothing left to chance. So when a SD40-2W and BC Rail Dash-9 in red, white, and blue show up, you do everything in your power to make it perfect. With fine tuning done on all of my lights, the execution was all that had to happen. The results are good, and there was a lot less stress wondering if everything was going to be right.
