Storm clouds dominated the sky over the town of Sant Pere de Ribes at twilight in a prelude to the rain that would soon fall.

Contemplare un'alba !

La poca luce fa svanire

le ombre diafane, immense.

L'aria sa di buono, al mio palato!

Contemplating a sunrise! | The little light makes the diaphanous, immense shadows vanish. The air tastes good on my palate.

PRELUDIO

(Verso Asciano, Siena)

Driving back to the hills after work, I had to stop and take some shots of this scene, looking down towards the Valley floor. The beech tree, not quite yet in autumn colours, looked beautiful in its splendid isolation…

 

COP26 in Glasgow is about 50 miles NE of here. Let’s fix this.

I will be posting some pics from our road trip on Facebook regularly.

Bubbles Prelude

 

#sliderssunday

 

Tomorrow's Macro Mondays theme is "Bubbles". Back in May 2021, I had experimented with photographing soap bubble planets for the theme "Soap". Back then, I had four nice-looking, usable images of rainbow planets in the end, and I've always wanted to upload the other three photos, one at a time, "peu à peu", but somehow, I never got around to doing so. But what better opportunity to present one of these "outtakes" is there than the eve of another "bubbly" theme. So here it is: rainbow planet No. 2 :) Duly overprocessed for Sliders Sunday with several mask layers in Lightroom and some extra vibrancy added in Color Efex with the "Reflector Efex" filter.

 

You can find a link to my original "Soap" theme photo in the first comment. If you are interested in how to photograph soap bubble planets, you'll also find links to a few tutorials in the description of that first bubble planet photo.

 

I will try and take some new bubbles for tomorrow's "Bubbles" MM theme, let's see if I can come up with anything nice, if not, I'll skip ;) Wishing you a lovely first Sunday of Advent and Happy Sliders Sunday, dear Flickr friends!

Stone Giants - Metropole

 

My heart gets heavy

My soul seems so weak

And my mind starts to race

And I cannot speak

My character’s tarnished

A spirit’s that’s stained

I show no expression

I feel so ashamed

Over and over I make this mistake

Internalize failures day after day

It cuts me down, runs me ‘round but this fact remains

Sometimes Bad Things Happen to Good People

It’s what I must face

I grow resentful as haters pass by

The frustration’s looming and I know just why

My judgment’s all clouded

It used to be clear

I despise my position but I can’t move from here

Over and over I make this mistake

Regret past decisions day after day

That brings me down, keeps me down but this fact remains

Sometimes Bad Things Happen to Good People

That’s what I’ve got to face

Time waits for no one especially not me

And some circumstances can render pain

Well I hate being jealous while they’re all so selfish

As if I had something to gain or if they had someone to shame

Over and over I’ve made this mistake

Squander opportunities that’s what they all say

That brings me down, keeps me down but this fact remains

Sometimes Bad Things Happen to Good People

That’s what we all have to face

Sometimes Bad Things Happen to Good People

Too bad we all have to pay

The glorious sunflower prelude into fall continues.

We are they who ride early or late

We storm at your ivory gate

Pale Kings of the Sunset, beware!"

After a day of thunderstorms, we were treated to a bit of brilliant color in the evening sky. A prelude to the evening fireworks displays around Lake Tahoe.

 

Hope every one had a great 4th of July, whether or not it was a holiday for you. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
