The plan had been to photograph sunrise over the frozen surface of Lake Erie at Metzger Marsh. We arrived forty minutes before sunrise, in a snow squall. The sun did not show up for another two hours, but the changing skies over the lake were worth the wait.
Continuing the theme of exploring more rural scenes in Dorset, I planned a trip yesterday morning as all the indications were for mist lingering in the morning. Unfortunately, on arriving at my intended location there was no mist and so I quickly diverted to a place I'd only recently discovered. There was a burst of wonderful early colour, followed soon after by some nice, brooding clouds. I hope you like what I captured.
A common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) was patiently planning for the dive from the top of a wetland sitting on a twig with sharp looks. Moments later he met the success - a fish catch. It looked very colourful under the morning Sun. I was chasing its actions for quite sometimes and in this rare occasion it accepted my close presence and hence the result. Pics was taken from river sides of the Ganges in Burdwan, West Bengal, India.
Tijdens de Raimusea safari georganiseerd door Stichting Holland Spoor (Roestrijden.nl) werd een bezoek gebracht aan de Koningslijn van de VSM.
Hier zien we tijdens een fotostop de 151 naast de VSM 2459 staan
Gestern habe ich mir diesen Platz für den heutigen Sonnenaufgang ausgesucht. Die kleine Kirche hat mir schon immer gut gefallen, sie ist nicht weit von zuhause weg und mit dem Löwenzahn fand ich sie nun perfekt.
Heute angekommen war ich erstmal enttäuscht, weil der Regen der vergangenen Nacht leider dem Löwenzahn ziemlich zugesetzt hat. Der Sonnenaufgang war dennoch genial, aber ich mag das Bild von gestern Abend lieber und habe beschlossen es ein wenig düsterer zu gestalten, als es in der Realität war.
Auch, wenn ich Bilder in dem Stil eigentlich gerne mag, habe ich ihn bisher noch nicht genutzt. Aber ich mag das Ergebnis genau so, wie es nun ist.
Vanoise National Park is one of the most popular outdoor areas in France. The scenery is mountainous and beautiful, sometimes almost other-worldly, and often very dramatic.
During the summer the Vanoise National Park is essentially hikers territory, and there are numerous trails that can be followed including several long, sometimes difficult but always impressive, hikes.
There are more than 100 mountains over 3000m altitude here, with the highest being the Grande Casse at 3855m above sea level.
On my first night in Arequipa, Peru I planned to do a “blue hour” shot from a third story bar overlooking the main cathedral. Even though I arrived with plenty of time, all the best seats were taken and there was not room for my tripod. So I went down one flight of stairs and found a window which framed the cathedral. I then opened the shutters which gave me these reflections.
Sometimes plan B works out to be better!
The city center of Arequipa, Peru is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is composed of baroque buildings derived from white volcanic sillar stone, giving Arequipa the nickname 'Ciudad Blanca' (White City). To add to the mystique of the city, it is surrounded by three impressive volcanoes (El Misti, Chachani and Pichu Pichu).
Happy New Year!
Thanks guys for all your views, comments and favs!
Happy Travels!

According the online information, a secret plan is a secret scheme to do something, especially something underhand or illegal.
So, my portrait of today. I thought it was decent day, but there were things I wanted to get done that I ended up not even attempting... and then I realized that that all too often I never even get to things I want to get done. Sometimes people say that that is the mark of a perfectionist... that they never get out of the planning stages because everything needs to be perfect... but I don't think that's it. I don't think I'm a perfectionist. A world class procrastinator, possibly. Yes, definitely. I avoid things that I don't like to do. I think. I plan. I come up with a plan and then decide that I really don't like the plan and it won't work for me. And then I tell myself that I should go to bed early, get a good night's sleep and get started tomorrow. When tomorrow comes, it is today... and you know how the rest of it plays out.
So, today, after being made aware of the fact that I said "I have no idea what is going on here" way too many times today... but, hey, procrastinator, or not... at least I'm honest and truly, I have no idea what is going on... I went home to avoid the things that needed to be done and ended up further obsessing about my complete inability to accomplish anything. I seem to think that I will one day miraculously find the means to get out of my own way and make great things happen. Yeah... until I realize that it's getting pretty late in the game and I am running out of time. So, I wonder when that will be. All of this worries me. I need to come up with a plan. But first... I'm just going to go to bed early and get a good night's sleep. (See a pattern here.... ?)
Plan B
“Time passes. The world turns, and we turn with it, and though we can never go back to the beginning, sometimes, we can start again.”
― Megan Hart
So... Plan B Day. It's Easter, but families can't get together, so we made do with phone calls. There are no church services this Easter Sunday. Plan B was online church services. I got up early and took a drive to take a photo of something that was no longer there... Plan B was a nice leisurely drive taking photos elsewhere... followed by what I actually planned to be Plan B... to take my daily photo in a place other than the farm that I have been challenging myself to find a new photo to take each day... but that place was roped off with police tape and closed... so Plan B became Plan A and I was back to my original plan in my original location... I guess that makes it Plan B?! So, I set my flowers down on the windowsill of a very broken window while I looked around for inspiration, trying to decide what this old farmhouse would offer up to me today. And then I turned around and saw the light hitting the flowers on the windowsill of that terribly smashed window that I have never used in a shot before because it was just too broken, and the light was never right... until now. And it worked.So, time is passing. Most days fly by, but when I think about it, it seems like it has been a very long time since I have been to work. There were 8 new Corona cases in my town today, but that is a 24% increase from yesterday. We can't enter a business without a face mask... and I did have to stop at Home Depot today... and it's a maze... I can't figure out which door they want us to enter through, where we are supposed to pay, or which door they want us to exit through, so I am hoping that I have all I need and won't have to go out there again... because it's too Twilight Zonish. Have you noticed that no one even looks at anyone else anymore? There is absolutely no interaction.But, hey! What about the good news!! The starry starry nights!! People are noticing that with less cars on the road, businesses closing, industries shutting down, and less air travel, that the fog and smog has cleared out, air quality is better than ever... and people are noticing the sparkling clear night sky! How awesome is that?!! And this morning, everyone I worked with reached out in texts to each other to wish them a Happy Easter. That has never happened before either. Yup, the world keeps turning and together we will get through this... and maybe things will never go back to the way that they were... but maybe... just maybe... they will be better! Like this old broken window, that I thought was too broken to be good for anything ... but when the light hits it just right, it's still good... and when the skies clear... the stars shine brighter! Maybe the Universe has a Plan B in store for all of us... and maybe it's even better than Plan A. (Yes, let's go with that...) As always, stay well out there!
Woke up a a couple of weekends ago to thick fog and decided to see what I could get. My initial destination was Beamish woods. When I got there the fog was nowhere to be seen. Not to be put off I could see the thickest fog was to be had near the Team Valley. I headed down not knowing what I was going to shoot. I decided to get out the car at Low Urpeth and go by foot over the fields. The atmospheric conditions were amazing watching the sun burn its way through.

Op zondag 15 november mocht het mooi opgeknapte treinstel 151 van de Stichting 2454 Crew (complimenten!) weer roestrijden, en wel in het RAS-gebied Zevenbergschen Hoek Aansluiting. Het treinstel staat tijdelijk gestald bij de SSN in Rotterdam, maar door werkzaamheden tussen Rotterdam en Dordrecht kon Zevenbergschen Hoek alleen via een omweg via Utrecht en Tilburg bereikt worden. Op de terugweg was er een planmatige stop in Woerden, waardoor in slechte lichtomstandigheden een foto kon worden gemaakt.

Ja li tocava, a la 335.013 fer-se amb aquest tren. Crec que ja no queda cap 335 llogada d'ECR que no s'hagi fet càrrec del fruiter. Aqui el veiem amb una hora adelantada i amb els seus contenidors de dalt a baix..... descarregats... jaja...
Ya le tocaba a la 335.013 hacerse con éste tren. Creo que ya no queda ninguna 335 alquilada de ECR que no se haga hecho cargo del frutero. Aqui lo vemos con una hora de adelanto y con sus contenedores de arriba a abajo... descargados... jaja...
Palou, 14 de Març de 2010.
Almost a year in planning and eventually i got the chance to go and photograph from the "Shard " in London.
Conditions were very difficult with the haze and reflections of the structure.Trying to get a wide angle shot is next to impossible due to the reflections but this im happy with.
Such a fantastic place with incredible views all over London.
Thankyou to my photographer friend Alpha Whiskey flic.kr/ps/yxgZ6 who joined me for this trip, we had a giggle and managed a few shots too ... always a pleasure my friend.

I have others that are of a longer exposure while resting the camera on my bag ( tripods not allowed )... but this has become my favourite so far.
Saguaro National Park, Tucson.
This was called a "Moonrise Hike", with the hope that we would see the Snow Moon suddenly appear above Arizona's Rincon Mountains.
The sky was cloudy & we never saw even a sliver of the moon, but at least we were treated to a nice Sonoran Desert sunset.

I was a bit lost with today's prompt and spent way too much time looking through my photos on my pc to find a photo that spoke to me. I came upon the photo of us at our reception and smiled at the thought of what our happily ever after turned out to be- and a page was born!

El mejor plan para un domingo: levantarte a las seis de la mañana e irte a fotografiar el amanecer con una amiga loca por la fotografía como tú. Y eso fue lo que hicimos Salomé y yo un domingo de Octubre. Y después del esfuerzo de subir hasta la ermita y hacer montones de fotos, nos tomamos un merecidísimo desayuno de campeonas con unas vistas fabulosas.

This change was a bit unintended... I bought the wig so I could try it on Momoe. But it made her look somehow sad and dark. Then still thought to try it on Nanami and I must say that I love the result <3
Funny thing... this wig was my first choise when searching a new wig for veritas but I didn't know how monique wigs would be like and was afraid to try.. And now she still got the wig :D
