This monochrome image shows a landscape at the Hungry Horse Reservoir in Montana. The foreground of the composition is framed by the silhouettes of tall, bare pine trees, with an Osprey sitting atop a large nest. A small island, covered in thick pine trees, is situated in the reservoir, and in the background, rugged mountains can be seen in the Flathead National Forest. More precisely, these mountains are in the Flathead Range, which is a part of the Northern Rocky Mountains.

Done in the almost pitch dark, by using long exposure, remote switch on camera and torchlight - more precisely waving a torch around and about and up and down until enough seconds seemed ok! (11 secs here). Good fun.
solvang has many different personalities. preserved for ages. it's a city that I would love going back to over and over. there's not much going on and precisely the reason why most people go there.
No words to describe, Perfect.
He did accidently drop fish to ground. We noticed how precisely he ate head first, rest of fish in contact. Except for a few Talon marks on body.

Sensor oxidation is visible at the top of photographs. Usually when there's a blue or clear sky.
It looks like an elongated dust spot. If I don't touch the photo with Lightroom, it's precisely to show the sensor oxidation.
This message will appear on all photographs.
I have a UV/IR filter on my lens.
LEICA, SAVE THE M9. PLEASE.
--------------------------------------------------------
La oxidacion del sensor se ve en la parte superior de las fotografias.Generalmente cuando hay un cielo azul,o claro.
Parece una mancha alargada de polvo.Si no toco la foto con Lightroom es para que se vea,precisamente,la oxidacion del sensor.
Este mensaje aparecera en todas las fotografias.
En el objetivo llevo puesto un filtro UV IR.
LEICA SALVA LA M9.POR FAVOR.
Creo que Leica tendria que darnos una solucion.
Honestly if you were a bird wouldn’t you prefer to bath in this birdbath over a puddle? Well of course you would and precisely why we supply such a venue, lol. We have no fewer than four on the property. One of my weekly chores in my retirement is yard maintenance is looking after our many and varied feathered friends. Thanks for viewing my photos. Gratitude and Kindness can smooth out the rough edges in life.
...man–resists this transformation with all its strength, he resists this re-birth, this metamorphosis; and he persecutes those who call upon him to undergo this transformation. He prefers to remain the man of old, the old man, rather than become the new man. Or more precisely, he harbours two contradictory desires: one induces him to accept this metamorphosis and the other makes him turn back, regress.

Feeling, requires a search!
Silence enhances a wound,
Where forbidden sounds lack words.
Emotion, lacks boundries!
Quietly the soul mourns,
Without a friends understanding.
Passion, explores the darkeness!
Gently tears disappear,
While waiting becomes an affliction.
Thirst, requires a fountain!
Softly a direction is taken,
But dread thwarts birth.
Hope, rescues a doubt!
Peace blossoms into light,
And the sightless choose to walk.

Ce qui fait tout le charme et l’intérêt de cette petite chapelle, c’est sa particularité d’être à même la roche. Plus précisément qu’une chapelle troglodyte, on dit qu’elle est semi-troglodyte. Troglodyte signifie que la structure est taillée dans la roche ou installée dans une grotte naturelle. Ici, la grotte ne constitue qu’une façade sur laquelle ont été ajoutés des murs. Ainsi, la construction semble comme adossée et blottie contre la roche.
What makes this little chapel so charming and interesting is its particularity of being built into the rock. More precisely than a troglodyte chapel, it is said to be semi-troglodyte. Troglodyte means that the structure is carved into the rock or installed in a natural cave. Here, the cave is only a facade on which walls have been added. Thus, the construction seems to be leaning against and nestled against the rock.
► ▓░█ ALTHOUGH THERE'S still five to six minutes left until the astronomical sunset, ideal horizon lies here behind the dykes and other relief blocking the view. So it appears that this is precisely the sunset. –Note in the distance the usual euphoric bird play around this time (or sunrise) with the setting Sun as backstage.

Developed from raw and edited in Affinity Photo 2.4 -I am rather unhappy with the colors I got... the Affinity's Haze Removal filter is indispensable for bringing up the distant detail but shifts the blue colour of the sky into an ordinary midday tint which comes rather unnatural over.

Ein Spiegel für das, was man nicht sagt
Die Tundra zeigt nichts Überflüssiges. Und gerade deshalb zeigt sie alles. Wer dort steht, sieht plötzlich die eigenen Gedanken klarer, weil nichts da ist, das sie übertönt.
A mirror for what remains unsaid
The tundra reveals nothing superfluous. And that is precisely why it reveals everything. Standing there, you suddenly see your own thoughts more clearly, because there is nothing to drown them out.
A few months ago, I had a lull in the creativity department. Sometimes, just getting out to shoot something---anything, will reignite the flame. I decided to try something new. I went for a drive, stopping every mile (precisely) and photographing whatever was before me. This was mile 1. I drove 8 miles and got 7 pictures. (I was prevented from the 8th mile picture due to lack of stopping places on the road, lol.)

We arrived at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh precisely at the time they were setting up gear and additional seats for an advent concert which unfortunately we had no time to witness. Loved the interior of this Cathedral and especially the sculpture of John Knox, the Scottish Reformator, which stands modestly in one corner on the right hand side.
In God, Truth is one, but finite creatures know Truth as truths, and when scattered across the page the plurality of truths may seem to contradict each other. Antinomy is precisely going past this experience of contradictoriness to arrive at unity. “Antinomicalness does not say, ‘Either the one or the other is not true.’ It also does not say, ‘Neither the one nor the other is true.’ It only says, ‘Both the one and the other are true, but each in its own way. Reconciliation and unity are higher than rationality.’”

Bagley Lakes, Table Mountain, and its eponymous glacier at precisely this time last year. This area gets some of the most snow of any place on earth, with the ski area just downhill from this spot holding the world record for one season – 1,140 inches (95.0 ft; 29.0 m), recorded during the 1998–99 season – as well as the unofficially highest average annual snowfall of any resort in the world, with 641 inches (53.4 ft; 16.3 m). The seven-mile hike I took on this day (with my canine sidekick Bailey) never went much above 5,300 feet of elevation, but it was still pretty grueling, and involved some significant stretches of snow on the trail, even at the end of August.
Handheld long exposure. More precisely, multiple regular exposures blended to give the effect of long exposure. I’ve found this still requires a fairly steady hand though or you can end up with blurred or heavily cropped pictures.
The warmth of the sun still lingers on her skin as she walks barefoot along the path.
One last glance back at the water, a quiet smile – it is precisely these moments that linger.
She’s returning from sunbathing, her thoughts light, her head clear. In one hand her sandals, in the other her bag – and on her back, her new radio bag from Royal Bags.
Unobtrusive, yet somehow exactly the detail that completes the moment.
Music plays softly, barely audible to others, but just right for her.
A personal soundtrack for this little stroll between sunshine and everyday life.
It’s not a grand statement – more that quiet feeling of ‘everything’s just right right now’.
And perhaps that’s exactly what makes this rucksack so special:
It accompanies her without imposing itself… and turns a simple walk home into a little summer moment.
Many thanks to Remy for this lovely gift :)
The bag is available for men and women in six different colours.

This shot was a total stoke of luck - I promise it's not a set-up. I never for one moment expected the paint mark on the wall to align precisely with the mouth of a bag seemingly being held open by a passer-by. But that's what I got in frame 4 of a 6-frame burst sequence.
I can't think what the significance of the letter 'N' might be, though.
The rain fell gently from the sky, as if it were falling just for her.
Under the pink umbrella, the world seemed a little brighter, and every drop sounded like a quiet promise.
She danced lightly through the puddles, her heart full of warmth, as if the rain itself were in love.
Because sometimes it is precisely these moments – wet, sparkling and full of emotion – when happiness quietly says ‘hello’.
Faced with the possibility that this image is not correctly interpreted, I would like to make a description: this image, has the commitment to be, a critic to the behavior of the masculine gender of this society. In the face of the increasing number of cases of deaths and abuses to which women are subjected. The center of the image is precisely the poster. Zoo Realty. In a clear Irony, that for animals the Zoo, is in the next exit
The River Nith is a river in south-west Scotland. The Nith rises in the Carsphairn hills of East Ayrshire, more precisely between Prickeny Hill and Enoch Hill, 4.4 miles (7.1 km) east of Dalmellington. For the majority of its course it flows in a southerly direction through Dumfries and Galloway and then into the Solway Firth at Airds point. Quoted from Wikipedia

Sculptures in the Friedrich-Engels-Platz residential complex in Brigittenau, the 20th district of Vienna, more precisely at Kapaunplatz. These municipality buildings, erected in the early 1930s, were supplemented by further apartment blocks in the 1950s. I moved into one of them, and my new address is at the back right. I now live in a senior citizens' shared apartment, which is a great thing!
I strongly suggest you zoom-in on the image. You won't be deceived by what you will find there and will understand why the moon was looking so attentively at the skyscraper 😊
It was a turbulent night and early morning 😂. Getting up in the middle of the night and constantly chasing the moon!
Even after photographing it aligned with the top of the Burj Khalifa (see my previous post), I wanted to keep photographing it aligned with the tower as it descended on the horizon. And to do that, I had to constantly run to the left of my position to keep it aligned, given how fast it moves.
I have some good photos of this epic "journey" (you'll hear about them later...), but here I chose one that isn't precisely aligned with the tower, which I like better. The moon looks like an alien investigating what's happening inside the Burj Khalifa! 😂

The small cyclamen flowers were clustered on the hillside. After several days of admiring them, I collected a few. Here they are in all their glory...frozen in time.
beauty of nature
Nature. The most beautiful thing in the world is, precisely, the conjunction of learning and inspiration. Oh, the passion for research and the joy of discovery!
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Goldentail morays (Gymnothorax miliaris) are usually brown with tiny yellow spots, see here). Every once is a while you find one that is yellow with some brown to form a honeycomb. (Or more precisely, instead of small yellow spots, there are large yellow spots.)
This was a small one, maybe 15cm long in total. The trick is to get it to be out of its hiding hole enough to get the strobes to light the moray without hitting the background coral.

The gust front has generated a robust storm cell over Kvarner gulf, but now the weather is improving with drier and cooler air from the North.
It is precisely towards the North (from Kršine brdo, 40m) that the view in this sky-landscape panoramic shot is; that is towards the base of the cape and the Istrian peninsula to which it belongs as the extreme southern strip of land that extends into the northern Adriatic Sea.
DE: Auf der Leerfahrt vom Handelshafen zurück zum Rangierbahnhof, um dort den zweiten DHL Paketzug an den Haken zu nehmen, überquert 294 616 die denkmalgeschützte Mühlau-Hubbrücke. Der Wettergott hatte wohl ein Einsehen und so war genau im richtigen Moment die Sonne zur Stelle.
EN: On the empty run from the commercial port back to the marshalling yard to pick up the second DHL parcel train, 294 616 crosses the listed Mühlau lift bridge. The god of weather must have had a good eye and so the sun was at hand precisely in the right moment.
being knowledgeable is essential, because, to me, nothing appears quite so difficult as to pose a model well and light him correctly, for the very reason that it seems so simple to do.
In the interest of photography and photographers I cannot urge amateurs enough to understand that photography is not a trade but an art and that, as a consequence, their feeling and their knowledge must be reflected in their works just as the feeling of a painter is reflected in his paintings :-)

Another image from my wonderful journey to California this summer of 2019 with my west coast damsel who took me to the city by the bay, or more precisely across the Golden Gate Bridge into Marin County, on the grounds of what once was a military installation defending San Francisco and Northern California but today is largest urban national park in the United States, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). While at the San Francisco Bay Area and as we traveled up the Pacific Coast Highway, I was constantly hampered or tasked by the eerie fog or marine layer which is the result of prevailing northwest winds actually change because of the in the summer the inland temperatures are quite hot, 90’ + so the bay is often subject to low clouds and fog. I was forewarned by my sweet companion but it’s one of those things that you got to see to believe. So the day we ventured into Sausalito into the Marin Highlands was such a day and in addition, the hand carved passage tunnel to the Point Bonita Lighthouse was closed which a very kind and helpful NPS Ranger informed us and told us of vantage point that the Point Bonita Lighthouse could be view. We hiked up there, the constraining marine layer notwithstanding, I was able to capture this image of the Point Bonita Lighthouse through substantial fog from that vantage point, thank you NPS Park Ranger. I hope to convince my west coast damsel to venture here again on my next trip out west, so we may venture to the actual lighthouse.

…more precisely, it’s what passes for a hand rail on the upward climb to the viewing platform at the basilica de Santa Maria, Elche, Spain. I’m still trying to catch my breath…
This little bird appeared out of nowhere or, more precisely, it startled up from near my feet and landed on a nearby acacia. It watched me closely, as if its burrow lay just out of sight. I took a few shots, then quietly continued my walk.

Introduction
Praise and Worship Music "The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything" (Christian Musical Documentary)
Throughout the vast universe, all celestial bodies move precisely within their own orbits. Under the heavens, mountains, rivers, and lakes all have their boundaries, and all creatures live and reproduce throughout the four seasons in accordance with the laws of life…. This is all so exquisitely designed—is there a Mighty One ruling and arranging all this? Since coming into this world crying we have begun playing different roles in life. We move from birth to old age to illness to death, we go between joy and sorrow…. Where does mankind really come from, and where will we really go? Who is ruling our fates? From ancient times to modern days, great nations have risen up, dynasties have come and gone, and countries and peoples have flourished and perished in the tides of history…. Just like the laws of nature, the laws of humanity's development contain infinite mysteries. Would you like to know the answers to them? The Christian musical documentary The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything will guide you to get to the root of this, to unveil all of these mysteries!
Eastern Lightning | The Church of Almighty God came into being because of the work of the returned Lord Jesus—the end-time Christ, “Almighty God”—in China, and it isn’t established by any person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. After reading God’s word, you will see that God has appeared.

A rice swift butterfly on a garden plant. I was busy photographing a snail that had climbed up the leaves of a water hyacinth after sunset when I suddenly noticed this butterfly on the adjoining plant. It allowed me precisely two shots before flying away.
The Heel Stone at Stonehenge is a natural stone, which has not been worked by tools, and extends someway underground. It weighs around 35 tonnes. It marks precisely the direction of the midwinter sunset and midsummer sunrise in relation to the main group of stones. Unfortunately, I dn't quite get the sunset I hoped for at Winter Solstice 2023, but there was at least some colour in the clouds.
I live only a short drive from Stonehenge, dating to around 2,300 BC in its current form, is one of the world's most mysterious and iconic sites, but I don't often go there to take photos: it's expensive to get in and the crowds can make it difficult to get good shots.
One of my parishioners asked me to take her there so she could watch the winter solstice sunset. Around 6,000 people had been there to see the sunrise that morning, but at sunset there were maybe 100 or 150. The horizon was cloudy at sunset itself, but I did get some great shots of the stones about 20-30 minutes before sunset. It was a very windy afternoon.
St Albans Cathedral. We are now in the 14th century, and this clock would precisely indicate when and at what time we would have the next solar eclipse whilst pilgrims would arrive and marvel at the holy remains of Saint Albanus. Richard of Wallingford was a scholar and the Abbot of what was then St Albans Abbey. He designed this astronomical clock (here a replica made in 1988) which was finished around 1355 (and demolished when Henry VIII confiscated the abbey and made sure that the shrine of St Albanus was flattened). Fuji X-E3.
So exciting, I've just got the test roll of a new old vintage M4. I can't wait until MP right in place. Sorry pal, maybe I'll get one in the future.
All the test frames are exposed accurately as expected. I am using a Gossen 1° spot meter for light metering.
No light leak, low-speed shutter responds precisely, evrything works outstaningly and the OVF is remarkablely crystal clear.
I am wondering if I should get an additional light meter in terms of mobility(Gossen Digiflash II) at the moment.
Remark: sorry about the low resolution scan from the out-tasking film development shop.
Or better: Hippeastrum is a genus in the family Amaryllidaceae.
The name Hippeastrum, given to it by William Herbert, means "Knight's-star-lily", although precisely what Herbert meant by the name is not certain.
For many years there was confusion among botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name "Amaryllis" is mainly used for cultivars of this genus, often sold as indoor flowering bulbs particularly at Christmas in the northern hemisphere.
By contrast the generic name Amaryllis applies to bulbs from South Africa, usually grown outdoors. The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas from Argentina north to Mexico and the Caribbean.
And although the 1987 decision settled the question of the scientific name of the genus, the common name "Amaryllis" continues to be used.
Bulbs sold as Amaryllis and described as ready to bloom for the holidays belong to the genus Hippeastrum.
I love the more theatrical dramatic light for some flowers: the 'divas', LOL.

Uitgerekend op de dag waarop de lucht afgelopen week onbeschrijflijk mooi was, had ik mijn camera niet bij mij. De dag erna ben ik daarom trouw met camera en statief in m’n tas naar mijn werk gefietst. En hoewel het kleurenspel rond zonsondergang geenszins teleurstelde, was de lucht bij lange na niet zo mooi als de dag ervoor. Zul je net zien…
Precisely on the day that the sky was indescribably beautiful last week, I didn't bring my camera. Therefore, I staunchly packed my camera and tripod before biking to work the day after. And while the colours during sunset were by no means disappointing, the sky wasn't nearly as beautiful as the day before. Naturally...
From a bird hide in the Netherlands, I had the chance to capture this kingfisher. At first, everything was in shadow, but a little later the kingfisher was precisely lit by the sun, while the background was still dark. Which produced this very cool image
Morning exercises !!.
A beautiful ,very approachable Duck.
One of only two " Torrent Ducks" in the world and if not more carefully looked after there shall only be one.
As a boy in the bush with my Dad they were very abundant and he could gauge the amount of rain over summer qualitatively not precisely by how far out of the river bed these birds chose to nest.
If I remember rightly it was pretty accurate.
Why has God given animals far better judgement in some areas to us?..
The abbey of Piona, or more precisely of the Priory of Piona ( Italy ) . In this place you can breathe a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. It is still inhabited by Cistercian monks and makes forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the chaos of the city.
Thank you so much for your comments, favorites and views
Safranbolu (from Greek: Σαφράμπολις) is a town and district of Karabük Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey. It is about 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Ankara and about a 100 km south of the Black Sea coast, or more precisely about 9 km north of the city of Karabük. Former Turkish names of the town were Zalifre and Taraklıborlu and in Greek Theodoroupolis, Θεοδωρούπολις (i.e. city of Theodorus or female Theodora) and latter Saframpolis, Σαφράμπολις. It was part of Kastamonu Province until 1923 and Zonguldak Province between 1923 and 1995.
The Old Town preserves many old buildings, with 1008 registered historical artifacts. These are: 1 private museum, 25 mosques, 5 tombs, 8 historical fountains, 5 Turkish baths, 3 caravanserais, 1 historical clock tower, 1 sundial and hundreds of houses and mansions. Also there are mounds of ancient settlements, rock tombs and historical bridges. The Old Town is situated in a deep ravine in a fairly dry area in the rain shadow of the mountains. The New Town can be found on the plateau about two kilometers west of the Old Town.
The name of the town derives from 'saffron' and the Greek word 'polis' (city),[citation needed] since Safranbolu was a trading place and a center for growing saffron. Today saffron is still grown at the village of Davutobası which is 22 km east of Safranbolu and probably one of the best quality saffrons in the world.
Safranbolu was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1994 due to its well-preserved Ottoman era houses and architecture.
This is precisely why Phill shouldn't consume as much of that cured dried meat as he does. The effects are starting to affect my ability of Astral Conjecture, as you can see by the scattering of my particles. It must be something to do with the levels of noxious gas, built up over the last 2 hours. Jeezuz!
