Chair by the window.
It is positioned in the corner of the room.
It looks somewhat lonesome on its own, it is tattered and torn and shows it's age. Who last enjoyed comfort in the chair?
Was it someone living alone and in need of companionship and were they young or old?
No other furniture decorates the room, no picture frames just starkness.
How many years have passed since the room felt the warmth of the open fire place?
There is no glass in the window nor a curtain. Mould has overtaken the walls and ceiling and wind blows through the old house.
What ever the story all we do know for certain is that the chair is still there, positioned in the corner of the room.
In a paddock in the wilderness somewhere in Tasmania, Australia..
I was not expecting to pull a bat out of the water today. This little bat was attacked by seagulls then dropped into the river. While I was looking for something to reach it the bat flipped over and started swimming for the dock. I picked it up, it was pissed, and put in in a bucket until after work. I took it to an abandoned building, in safe spot. It was still pissed when i took it out of the bucket. Seemed to be fine, other than bothered.

Back from a self-imposed Artistic snooze
I decided to have a break for two reasons. One, my trip to Iceland spoilt me with the incredible scenery and the weather was so dramatic and extreme that it left me wanting more, and the Summer weather seemed too flat by comparison. Two, the gap between my processing and what I visioned in my head was getting wider, so I decided to close Photoshop and have a rethink. Not that I could stop shooting :)
Back a great trip to Scotland and Isle of Skye, this is the first from that outing.
Looking forward to the Autumn and some experimentation.

Still have no time really. I even managed to get an EF-12 extension tube off ebay cheap so I could use my 50mm F/1.8 lens (soooo sharp) and I've had it a week and only just taken a few shots with it :(

The Falls of Bruar are a series of waterfalls on the Bruar Water in Scotland, about 8 miles from Pitlochry in the council area of Perth and Kinross. They have been a tourist attraction since the 18th century and were immortalized in a poem by Robert Burns, The Humble Petition of Bruar Water to the Noble Duke of Atholl, supposedly from the river itself entreating the Duke to plant some trees in the then barren landscape. The falls were probably formed some time in the last 10,000 years, after the retreat of the glaciers at the end of the last ice age. The waters slowly cut through the rock which had been pushed up by the geological forces which formed the Scottish Highlands some 500 million years ago. The layering of the rocks means that the water has cut a meandering path through the softer rock and left the harder rock untouched. This has led to the creation of deep pools, outcrops and, in one place, a natural arch. The falls consist of two large falls and a number of smaller drops. The water is often coloured brown from the peat through which it flows. Nowadays, the A9 Perth to Inverness road passes near the foot of the falls in Glen Garry, and there is a shopping centre and car park from where visitors may access the falls. A circular footpath leads up to the Lower Bridge, close to the natural arch, and continues on to the Upper Bridge, about 1/2 mile from the car park, before returning down the opposite bank. The total drop of the falls is about 60 metres. The narrowness of the gorge means that the falls are most impressive after heavy rain, but since the construction of a hydroelectric power scheme in the late 1940s, water is extracted farther up the river and the falls no longer reach the volumes they once did. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falls_of_Bruar

Male Cuckoo on top of a dead tree on the other side of the river.
They adopt this wing and body positon when calling 'Cuckoo!'.
Did a bit of research - one study found that male cuckoos adopted a certain posture, wing drooping, and tended to keep their tails up more frequently in areas with the highest versus lowest host nest densities. This is consistent with these behaviours acting as potential signals (to females) codifying information on nest abundance in the area.

« La Maison Cauchie, habitation personnelle de Paul Cauchie, construite en 1905, peut être considérée comme une des plus belles œuvres de l’Art nouveau à Bruxelles. L’artiste tend à affirmer, à valoriser ses goûts, sa culture et sa position dans un contexte social où domine le conformisme »
Franco Borsi, Bruxelles 1900.
Paul Cauchie (Auguste Paul Cauchie), architecte, peintre et décorateur belge, né le 7 janvier 1875, à Ath (province de Hainaut) et décédé le 1er décembre 1952, à Etterbeek (Bruxelles)
Il fut une des figures marquantes de l’Art nouveau en Belgique. Son style architectural, contrairement à ceux de Victor Horta ou Paul Hankar, qui utilisaient le fer forgé et la pierre pour suggérer des volutes végétales, se caractérise par une rigueur géométrique compensée par la richesse des décorations picturales.
JEWEL OF BRUSSELS ART NOUVEAU
“Maison Cauchie, the personal home of Paul Cauchie, built in 1905, can be considered one of the most beautiful works of Art Nouveau in Brussels. The artist tends to assert, to promote his tastes, his culture and his position in a social context where conformism dominates."
Franco Borsi, Brussels 1900.
Paul Cauchie (Auguste Paul Cauchie), Belgian architect, painter and decorator, born January 7, 1875, in Ath (province of Hainaut) and died December 1, 1952, in Etterbeek (Brussels)
He was one of the leading figures of Art Nouveau in Belgium. His architectural style, unlike those of Victor Horta or Paul Hankar, who used wrought iron and stone to suggest vegetal scrolls, is characterized by a geometric rigor offset by the richness of the pictorial decorations.

Manarola Sunset Series - Five
Positioned to watch the Manarola sunset light show as the sun paints the Cinque Terre village with vibrant, warm color before disappearing over the horizon into the Ligurian Sea and leaving the most spectacular blue skies imaginable~! This was an evening well spent and unlikely to be soon forgotten.

At this moment and positioning in perfect sunlight there was only the appetizing black walnut and him. He watched the big man with his lens but accepted him in the near.
It takes several minutes and some energy to open a hard black walnut (oh yes, they are able to open them and they do it very often but in winter when they have to save energy). It seems to me that the delicious content is worth the hard work.
However during opening I took a lot of photos and had enough time to play with different settings.
Lucky moment for both, me and him :-)

I would have liked this shot more had it have been totally in focus, but they were quite a way, away, and I didn't have a tripod..:O(
But I liked the way I caught Mother and Child looking like each other and in the same direction...just luck I guess..lol..:O)

Now for the real deal. A Metra inbound rolls under the PRR Position Lights at CP Morgan Street, preparing to enter the canyon of skyscrapers that make up Chicago's massive skyline. This was probably one of the most successful shots that resulted from today's expedition into the city.

I haven't been really active these days, I'm sorry!!!
This is my first attempt with infrared and sea. It gives an effect similar to the 10 stops ND, plus some nice tonal shifts if you include greens, such as I did in this one.
Thanx a lot for the great appreciation comments for my previous upload!

The right side is a mirror. I knew that, so i took the shot in a way the mirror would look nice. At least that's what i thought when i stood there with my cam. In the original image there is an ugly wall on the right side.

We sure did get some dramatic skies at Point Reyes last weekend. This was definitely one of the best coastal sunsets I've seen; between the amazing colors and huge clouds we got some pretty epic skies!
It took me a while to decide on which shot to post from this viewpoint, as I took a ton of photos from this location while the sun was going down. I tried a few different processing techniques on the various shots but I think this one captured the drama the best. This is actually a blend of two exposures by hand in Photoshop. It was a lot of work but I think it came out really well.
