Taken a few years ago when I had the fortune to spend some time around more snow than I am used to at home. (It's not all of Sweden that can boast with really white winters.)

At yet another birthday party with the kids this past weekend, at Quassy amusement park located on Lake Quassapaug. The kiddie park area, where I inevitably spend most of my time, is separated from the water by only a fence. So of course, with the sun setting, my attention is being torn by this lovely sunset glittering on the water...and like usual, I feel like I'm the only one noticing the beauty.

 

I took some shots, but this time for kicks, I tried a few shots in sunset mode, which is something I very rarely use because I don't like the result. It seems to take away the colors and adds an almost sepia tone...maybe because it's an older camera, I don't know. But I actually like the result here, giving everything an amber glow...reminding me of tiger-eye contrasting with the dark areas.

 

Have a wonderful day, my friends :-)

75% of getting a good shot is being there :-) I spend a lot of time scouting and looking for scenes and responding to changes in the light and landscape.

 

It had rained pretty heavy just hours before, and the water here is paper-thin, just enough for a reflection. No way was I going to pass this spot up.

**** “I wish you joy. To spend life's fleeting days mid joy that never meets an evil hour is to be blessed beyond compare.”

― Euripides, Electra

 

I have no belief in any sort of extra terrestrial paradise so will happily take my moments of perfection on this earth while I am here. This was a perfect day In Ravenna the morning looking at masterpieces of European and Byzantine art . The afternoon sharing good food and chilled wine with Mary under a canopy in this most beautiful Piazza . We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary .The sky was a deep blue that brought out he colours and shapes of the Piazza del Popolo buildings . It will not last for eternity but it is the transience of the moment that creates memories for life .

Mindfulness in nature gives us the opportunity to awaken to what is within us as well as around us, to heal and live skillfully.💚

We spend our lives waiting for something to happen and the only thing that happens is life.

“You need to spend time crawling alone through shadows to truly appreciate what it is to stand in the sun.” ― Shaun Hick

 

And if to-night my soul may find her peace

in sleep, and sink in good oblivion,

and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower

then I have been dipped again in God, and new created.

 

And if, as weeks go round, in the dark of the moon

my spirit darkens and goes out, and soft strange gloom

pervades my movements and my thoughts and words

then shall I know that I am walking still

with God, we are close together now the moon's in shadow.

 

And if, as autumn deepens and darkens

I feel the pain of falling leaves, and stems that break in storms

and trouble and dissolution and distress

and then the softness of deep shadows folding, folding

around my soul and spirit, around my lips

so sweet, like a swoon, or more like the drowse of a low, sad song

singing darker than the nightingale, on, on to the solstice

and the silence of short days, the silence of the year, the shadow,

then I shall know that my life is moving still

with the dark earth, and drenched

with the deep oblivion of earth's lapse and renewal.

 

And if, in the changing phases of man's life

I fall in sickness and in misery

my wrists seem broken and my heart seems dead

and strength is gone, and my life

is only the leavings of a life:

 

and still, among it all, snatches of lovely oblivion, and snatches of renewal

odd, wintry flowers upon the withered stem, yet new, strange flowers

such as my life has not brought forth before, new blossoms of me,

then I must know that still

I am in the hands of the unknown God,

he is breaking me down to his own oblivion

to send me forth on a new morning, a new man.

 

- D.H. Lawrence, Shadows (1930)

Spending a vacation week with the "kids" and grandkids, my schedule shifted and I found myself up before sunrise every morning. The skies and clouds at Lanikai Beach were often so dramatic with the sunrise, sunset, rain and rainbows.

After spending hour at dam for nice sunset, the things did not work out, so finally left, as i was driving away, my eyes caught the glimpse of bright blue light in sky, so pulled over and took this shot. I think the wait and persistence paid off!

Es ist etwas ganz besonderes Erlebnis einen Frühlingstag im schottischen Hochland zu verbringen.

I didn't spend much time in the city but I did want to try a pano from Pier 14 and Pier 7. It was a very rainy day. The rain finally subsided for about an hour and then started right after I got this. It was a very wet, windy and cold walk back to my hotel. This is the new boundary wrap pano feature in LRCC. If the weather had been better I am sure a lot more people would have been on the pier so maybe it was just as well that the weather wasn't that great.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

After spending some time scouting The Queen's Garden Loop Trail on my 2nd day, I returned later that evening and ran across this unique looking tree and it reminded me of the photos i've seen of the old gnarled tree in Schulman Grove in the Bristlecone Forest, which still sits on my bucket list. This one turned out a bit grainy even though I used some light panels and ISO 1600 to minimize the noise but I thought it still looked interesting. I still have a lot to learn and this is part of the road to MW nirvana which still eludes me. I suspect it's the fact that I have a crop sensor camera when I really should be using a Full Frame for this kind of photography, or it could be operator malfunction and inexperience. I probably won't know until I upgrade, I'm holding out for the 6D Mrk II which should be out spring 2016. :)

 

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead everyone :)

Just look at my face

Oh, I've come a long way

From that bitter sound

When you know what you know

When you feel what you feel

Gives me chills through my heart

Oh, I feel so good inside

Oh, I feel so free

With you by my side

Beautiful (man), oh babe

Spend some time with me

Help me breathe

Got to spend some quality time with my Mom today. It was a good day indeed. We drove around the lake and admired the views. A little more of the artistic side of my photography. A few lean more to the abstract side of what I see when I'm in nature. Time is oh so short, that is today's life lesson from Mother Nature.

Popular spot spend time in Oulu. Watching the sea next to city theater and market area. The sea is very calm in that spot as it protected by surrounding islands

After spending quite a few wonderful minutes in this dramatic landscape getting beautiful sunrise shots, I couldn't resist walking down the slopes to catch the sunlight through the holes in the pinnacles.

Can you please crawl out your window is a. Bob Dylan song sung by Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey on my playlist. I think the generally wild and windy week had made these special moments just dazzle.

I'm spending a lot of time with the birds at the moment...

It's cold.. they're hungry. In return for food, I get to photograph them. It's a good equation :-)

 

I think this one probably has a leg injury, otherwise these birds rest and sleep standing up. But it looked content... calm. I'm sure it was enjoying the light.

  

Comments off for this one...

with my thanks for the quiet company :-)

 

Skippy has Lunch this little squirrel spends his time eating bird seed and peanuts everyday.

To spend time, lots of time over a meal with friends. To share wine and conversation, and to let both bring forth much laughter...well, what a true pleasure that is!

Spending my evenings with my bird images and photoshop.

NECR 610 spends the weekend without a crew in Willimantic at the crew office with a pair of blue and golds up front.

Spending the day with my best friends: Victor, Marc-Uwe, Kurt, Franz, Alexander, Arthur, J.R.R. and Umberto who said "I love the smell of book ink in the morning." and he was so right.

Sea otters spend the majority of their day taking it easy, resting by floating on their backs. Groups or "rafts" of sea otters congregate in calm, quiet waters. The highest number of sea otters recorded in such a raft totaled over two thousand animals - that would have been quite a sight to see!

 

This one would float peacefully, stretch a bit and preen, then resume the "position." Sounds like a great way to spend a lazy, Friday afternoon!

 

Have a blessed weekend! Thank you so much for your views and comments! They are greatly appreciated!

I have to ask my Flickr Friends what sense does it make in spending this vast amount of money on politics when we need it for life globally and here in the USA whether it be food, drink, health, climate change and war amongst other things? Are all the dollars really worth it? Can democracy really be bought? How much difference do the dollars actually make?

After spending time investigating Roberts Creek, I drove along the coastal road and found the Roberts Creek Provincial Park. This entire area attracts a good deal of tourism in the summer so this time of year finds those same places somewhat empty of people. Except for one other person, this place was mine to play in.

 

After many angles, and numerous shots, this is the image that was in my mind. The sweeping stone stairs on a hill had drawn my attention, with the carpet of Autumn leaves laying undisturbed. Their vivid colors were in stark contrast to the grey stairs, while the fence and green foliage would support them in the background. I wanted to exaggerate the stairs and how they swept across the view so getting close with a wide angle lens was necessary. It was a fun afternoon with the time needed to find what lay behind the camera.

The cliff, the rock platform and the sea, what better way , to spend the day.

When you have just spent a week relaxing in a place like this, it is hard to spend time behind the computer to catch up on everyone’s images on Flickr. Our weather is still great at home so I stay outdoors as much as I can. We had a wonderful time camping and taking pictures in this northern Ontario park. The evening light warmed the heart on the cooler days. The air was that perfect fall freshness and crispness without feeling like winter is on the way.

After spending some time doing long exposures on our one and only morning at the Grundlsee it was already pretty bright and I thought about going back to our room, but luckily I did not. I still walked around and took a few snapshots and as I packed my gear the sun all of a sudden peaked above the mountains. I quickly took my camera out of my bag and decided to take some images without the tripod since setting up the tripod would have taken too long. In hindsight, it would have been nice to take a panorama, but since I didn't expect this to happen I just had a single image which I cropped to 2:1. Anyway, I really like the colors, the sunstar and the cute little duck :) Hope you like it too!
