Café De Omval must close due to new construction. The pub, which opened its doors in 1938, must make way for new construction.
Neighbours objected to the pub's departure and started a petition, but to no avail. The property is owned by the municipality, which previously announced the forced departure. The neighbourhood is developing and in recent years many office and residential buildings have sprung up around the area next to the Amstel River.
Lions go through extensive mating rituals about every twenty minutes for several days. Sitting around watching them is super entertaining and provides opportunities to capture images like this from the Masai Mara region.

Imagen de la iglesia desde una zona arbolada para que pudiera salir unos trozos de árboles con su amiga la farola. Además de la imagen principal si tengo ocasión intento que salgan otras imagenes complementarias.
Image of the church from a wooded area so that she could leave some pieces of trees with her friend the lamppost. In addition to the main image, if I have the opportunity, I try to get other complementary images.

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.
While wandering the endless badlands of an industrial park I came across this sleeping beauty all alone in an expansive lot.
The joy in photography is the unexpected. Here it was the opportunity to meet Matthew. A fine gentleman and owner of this beauty.
This gorgeous giant swallowtail was hanging out on the firebush soaking up some rays when I spotted him through the window. I took a couple of snaps and went out to see if I could get a shot from outside but alas he was already gone.
I hope your day is filled with incredible opportunities and you are able to take full advantage of them. Happy snapping.
This is the best photo of an American Robin I've ever taken. See if you can find it. A great opportunity during sunset color recently.

This is inside my husband Masonic Lodge. We took our Mexican friend there in September for a visit as he is also a Mason. I love Mid Century Mod and the light was so nice!

TURN A DIFFICULTY INTO A NEW OPPORTUNITY
LUCKY OPPORTUNITY to photograph one of these Slim and Savage predators, active by day and night, it relentlessly tracks down its prey by scent. It often kills prey more than twice its size, biting deeply into the neck.
Captured at Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent.

31-January-2022: when, near you, there are contiguous areas with different meteorological and micro-climatic peculiarities, something is always found (even in a winter that has offered little more than nothing), but you must be ready to seize the opportunities given; this is not easy but sometimes very sathisfactory.
The tail of a cold front from the North, one of the very few that touched the area (always at night, no conditions!) during a short retreat of the African Anticyclone, after having cutted off the Alps and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (sheltered, in winter, by the Tauern chain, in Austria) reformed between the Slovenian plain and the Eastern Karst Region/Northern Dinarides with a series of snow showers in the form of squall-line.
Not for nothing I was there...
As soon as the fast snowfall stopped, I thought I'd take some photos in the only area that is always illuminated in that wide virgin Forest at night.
Artificial light is certainly not like solar one, but, also in this case, it is "of necessity-virtue".
The lights with different tones, reflected from the snow and accumulated by the long pose, create a "carnival" of particular colors.
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,

Things have been a bit manic in the last two weeks, but I finally got the opportunity to get out and hobble to the Woods to catch the "wild garlic" before they get past there sell-by date.
The aroma of garlic as I got out of the car was unbelievably strong, with it being a still evening. I managed to get a little late light to filter through the woods and came away with some nice shots. This is the path leading into the woods, which I thought was worthy of a post! My left leg is still badly swollen and painful but the exercise walking around this enchanted woodland was great therapy.

The image was taken from a photo hide owned by "Hides de Calera" (www.hidesdecalera.com/, @hides_de_calera). Thanks to Jose David Gomez for this great opportunity.
Thanks a lot, everyone, for stopping by, for looking my work, for your comments and likes! Always appreciated!
I'm not a great lover of photographing captive birds but as I have never seen one in the wild I thought I would make the most of the opportunity.
“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

The Entabeni Game Reserve:
Entabeni means 'place of the mountain', is a 220 km2 (85 sq mi) private reserve situated in the Waterberg in Limpopo Province in northern South Africa. The Entabeni Reserve is popular for safari trips because of the opportunity to see big game and a variety of birds and antelope species, as well as its scenery, and the fact that it is in a malaria-free zone.
The reserve is home to lions, African Bush Elephants, lion, South Africa giraffes, African leopards, South African cheetahs, South African warthogs, African buffalos, hippopotamus and other safari animals in a variety of habitats.
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!
Ein absolutes Highlight konnte am 8. Februar bei Vierkirchen fotografiert werden: die halbseitig beige-blau beklebte 151 075-9 hatte einen schönen Güterzug (EZ 51732) von Nürnberg Rangierbahnhof nach München Nord am Haken.
On 8th February I had the opportunity to take this picture of 151 075-9 hauling a mixed freight train from Nuremberg to Munich.
This Barn Owl was perched on the post behind the tree making it difficult to get a good angle for a shot, when a brief gust of wind moved the branches allowing me to capture this photo, hence the title.
In 2011 it snowed here in the area we live, and people who have lived here for 50 years have not seen it ever happen, I was so glad that we could also have the opportunity to see it! www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/5442971/Wellingtons-on...
... another light painting image. I’ve wanted to try the book thing for a while but haven’t had an opportunity to set the shot up. This week’s theme was perfect and I ended up capturing some hearts in the light too. Happy Valentine’s Day to you all.

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.
Clear sky above Durham this afternoon. Headed down to the riverside to catch the sun in the best position for the autumn colours. Took the opportunity to get down to Durham ahead of the lockdown tomorrow.
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.

This is my take on this year's Uncommon Common art installation in Grand Pre, Nova Scotia. It was designed and erected by Nicole Evans and Patrick Farrell.
Explored on September 22nd, 2015. Highest position #148.
When opportunity knocks on your door, always be willing to take a chance, because you never know how perfect something could turn out to be.

Grace Lakes Trail, Stevens Pass, Washington
In this world of snowy solitude, the most striking aspect of my time out on the trail was the absence of sound. After departing the trailhead shared with a busy ski area, I encountered only a few other snowshoers and backcountry skiers throughout the day. With the deep, soft snow covering the landscape, it was as through a blanket of silence had been laid over it all, with only a few muffled noises made by my snowshoes.
Along the way I took many opportunities to stop and simply absorb the sound of nothing...and everything. In those moments of utter silence, surrounded only by snow, trees, and mountains, it was as though everything else in the world had ceased to exist.
Parc Angrignon - Montréal
Je trouve extraordinaire de pouvoir capter des images très près de ces beaux oiseaux! Parfois j'ai droit à des moments assez uniques! Il était un pêcheur très habile, mais chaque fois, il répétait le même scénario: il capturait sa pêche, l'apprêtait à souhait, puis, étrangement, la laissait morte dans l'étang. Un détail, si vous grossissez l'image, au niveau de l'oeil, il est possible d'apercevoir la paupière intérieur à demi tirée.
Merci de vos visites, commentaires et favoris, toujours grandement appréciés.
Great Blue Heron
I believe it is an opportunity to be able to observe very closely these beautiful birds. This Heron was a gifted fisher, he would capture his fish, would get it ready to swallow, but would strangely leave it dead in the lake... If you enlarge the picture at the eye level, it is possible to see the interior eyelid, half pulled.
Thank you for visits, comments and faves, always greatly appreciated.
