Playing around on a Sunday afternoon

After taking other half to the station this morning I saw this strange cloud formation. I drove to the edge of the town to be able to get a shot of it without buildings.

This is an area on the outskirts of the town where they are building 5000 new houses, thanks to Gordon Brown and his "Regeneration of the Home Counties"!

Have you felt that special stillness,

That solemn, reverent hush

That settles on the earth

At close of day;

As though the world had come to rest

In all its frenzied rush

And paused for one short moment

Just to pray?

 

Have you ever sensed the awesome beauty,

The deep, pervading peace

That seems to fill the heart

To overflow;

When all its pent-up love pours forth

In blessed, sweet release

Within that holy light

Of evenglow?

 

If you've known this benediction,

Felt its calming in your soul,

Then you've come closer than

You may have guessed

To the very gates of Heaven

Where you've been renewed, made whole,

And you have walked among those

Truly blest.

Details coming as part of a series <3

Satisfied fishermen have been traveling to northern Manitoba and enjoying the beautiful sunsets, the clear pristine waters and the variety of fish that can be angled. Whether you are a rainbow trout, walleye, northern pike, tullibee, smallmouth bass or lake trout fisherman - you will find what you are looking for at Rocky Lake or in her surrounding areas.

 

Fishing starts the 3rd weekend in May and they are open until the second week in October. The prime fishing time is May-June and September, although some people enjoy good fishing all summer long.

 

This lake is located in the heart of waterfowl country of Manitoba and also moose hunting country areas later in the season.

We regularly have Canada geese and Mallard flocks that overwinter at our city's lakeshore, often swimming among the ice floes and freezing water. And sometimes we have surprising visitors that join the regulars, in this case a Trumpeter Swan!

 

As I often do in the wintertime, I went down to the lakeshore at sunset a couple days ago to photograph the ducks and geese and I discovered this beautiful, white swan. It was hanging around the geese.

 

I didn't get many shots of it before 50 geese decided to lift into the air and fly away, which triggered this swan to do the same. I was disappointed but was glad I got at least this nice capture to share with you.

 

What appears to be dirt and debris floating on the water surface here in the foreground is actually small bits of ice. How ANY of these birds can comfortably swim in such cold water is beyond me. But they don’t seem to mind and they carry on as if it were summer.

 

I love the pure white of the swan bathed in the reflected colors of the sunset here. Enjoy!

Quello che non ti ho detto, ma che ti farei...

Thanks Everyone for your kind words 😃

 

Hahaha I really didn't realize how ironic the name was when I was making this pic. It wasn't entill I posted it and was trying to put a name to that I really paid attention to the name.. Really!

Fun Morning in the Cemetery. I thought the high contrast looked pretty good in this shot.

A colorful afternoon in Philly-town. "It looks like a painting."

Kleiner Gruß an meinen Freund Ulrich

"After Raxus Prime Command was nice enough to hand me and the surviving members of my squad promotions, sadly there was a catch. I was being placed in charge of Whiskey Company's 1st platoon, normally I would welcome such a promotion with enthusiasm and a feeling of self accomplishment. But having a platoon under my command would mean having more men under my command and having more men under my command would result in more casualties and I most defiantly couldn't watch anymore of my brother fall to the Separatist war machine while under my command, but I didn't appear to have a choice..."

It's kinda late and I'm tired but here's a build, please excuse the lack of a title and the short description. Also, I'm going to apologize in advance for not being able to respond to much, but if you want to contact me or want me to see something just send me an FM and I'll get to it asap.

 

This will probably be my last upload for a while, should have ended with that WWII as my last build, it was so much better :P

 

As always, C&C is appreciated and TFVAHAGD!

Somewhere in this very large (easily 6-7 thousand acres). Beautiful hiking trails. This is not far,

(I think) from Morraine Lake. I could be wrong.

Surf's up....South Shore of Lake Ontario.
