Of the three recent misty shots I took, I like this one the most. Mainly because I had to "work" for it a little more. The first two were taken down by the sea when I saw this scene developing across the bay. Sadly some trees were blocking my view of the line of misty trees so had to walk/trott back up the hill to my home and then find another view point. Wasn't too sure the mist would stay for the 5 minutes I was half-jogging. Lucky for me it did. This shot was taken about one hour after sunset. Living in the north at this time of year it doesn't really get dark after sunset. Though I am glad I don't live further north with the sun being up 24 hours a day. Think I'd go nuts with that lol!
The other reason I like this shot is that jetty features in one of my all-time favourite shots, though from a completely different angle, seen below in the first comment.
Europorte heeft recent graanvervoer naar de Antwerpse haven overgenomen van SNCF. Hierdoor rijdt Europorte bijna dagelijks graantreinen tussen Frankrijk en Antwerpen. Al jaar en dag reed Europorte 1 à 2 keer per week een graantrein naar Antwerpen.
Na het hoofddoel (SNCF steenslagtrein) enkele keren succesvol op de foto te hebben gezet. Kon gericht worden op bijvangst. In de namiddag kwam er een melding dat Europorte uit Antwerpen was vertrokken. In Jurbeke werd een leuk plekje gevonden, waar Europorte werd opgewacht.

During a recent brief visit to Hong Kong we walked past the Hong Kong Museum of Art. An interesting building, currently under renovation, but I was attracted by its exterior and the strong contrast with the early morning sun peeping through. An unexpected moment.
To spend the morning in the rainy woods and the afternoon editing photos in a cozy study... a perfect fall day.
The foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains are riddled with stone walls like this, delineating long ago farmlands. Recent and welcomed rains heighten the oak leaf and lichen colors. The colors are as shot.
A friend was promoted last year and received a "new" office, filled with stuff left behind by a now retired professor. This Hermes 3000 typewriter was left in that office and needed a new home, so after a stopover for a cleaning and mechanical overhaul, it now lives with me. It was made in 1964, in Switzerland.
The recent stormy weather has brought down a good share of the leaves from the Japanese maple in front of our building. It was a dark and rainy day.
Isn't God a great artist? Thanks for looking!
A recent return trip to Cotter to try and capture a scene that has eluded me previously. The transformation of this idyllic waterfall through the seasons is something special. Accompanied and inspired this time by my good friend Jim, i set about trying to capture the falls from more unusual angles. Some extremely slippery rocks nearly cost Jim his 6D but a cracking save resulted in only some bruised ribs and very wet feet! As ever thanks for viewing. Nearly the weekend :0)
While on a recent wildflower hunt in upstate SC, we found a few of these beauties, the Catesby's Trillium, or Trillium Catesbaei or the bashful trillium. The leaves resemble bat wings to me.
If you're in the forest and find any trilliums, please don't act on your temptation to dig some up. The flower needs very special soil conditions to grow and will die. Additionally, the flowers once picked may affect other flowers so that future trillium won't be able to grow in that spot again. So HANDS OFF please!

As written previously some strange encounters and experiences only hit the full impact mark with some delay.
On a recent event I was viciously struck, once again, by the fact how people are trying so hard to stand out from the crowd.
Clutching for recognition haunted and conforming to some distant paradigm.
In an almost perverted way of begging for attention, they act just merely all the same…
Waiting for a miracle to get noticed, dwelling around (could be a side effect of too many mojo-cocktails though) with eyes closed to their own originality.
Peculiar fact: they want to stand out and simultaneously being simply slightly different from the crowd terrifies them …
Exhausted by too much conversation, by all those attempts to come up with jokey and lively epigrams as the hours and the evening evolve, they seem to fill less and less the room, a kind of emptiness silently surrounding them. Awaiting some miracle solution or advice on how to navigate the crowd.
Wouldn’t it be more simple, every now and then, just to merciless avoid the crowd and just stand tall, against the wind …
Been a minute since I’ve shared on here. I’ve been busy workin on the railroad and don’t have a big slot to photograph anymore.
We were just on a regular daily walk not far from where we live. Sometimes on our walks there, you see a nice tree, hear a bird or two, and that's it. On this day, we saw pretty cool things. A moose. A coyote. Some geese perched high on a rocky outcrop. All under gleaming blue skies. Some days are magical!
The recent weather might be great for sun worshippers, but cloudless days and haze is usually the death-knell for any sort of atmospheric landscape photography. But as the sun goes down the stars come out, even at the height of summer when skies are lighter. This is two exposures, about two hours apart.
