The spring haven't arrived yet to Finland. No blooming to be seen so i haven't been very active with photography lately. This LE shot is from last summer. Sadly my Canon 50D's noise control even with 400 iso is crappy and i have hard time to create pleasing results with it. Even with photoshop i cant seem to fix the problems often. I now days mainly just stick to 50d+sigma 50mm f.1.4 combo, which i love. Take care!
None of my photos are HDR or blended images, they are taken from just one shot

The Callanish Stones are an arrangement of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle.
They were erected in the late Neolithic era, and were a focus for ritual activity during the Bronze Age. They are near the village of Callanish on the west coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland (source: Wikipedia).

"Leave no stone unturned. Deeply explore the beauty of your life."
Quote - Neil Gaiman
My absence lasted a little longer than expected. Back from vacation, unexpected work on the garden turned out to be possible again....stones from the driveway removed and replaced with gravel for the parking space and borders for new plants.
Hope that now finally a quiet time will come. Happy start of your week ;-))
In a quiet moment...
Feel your oneness with earth and imagine you have roots grounding in the earth,
while your spirit still soars with the breeze into the vastness of the universe.
Zen is more of an attitude than a belief.
Zen is the peace that arises through the unity of oneself with a wholeness, a being that is of a different nature than oneself.
Zen means being aware of the oneness of oneself with the world and everything in it.
Zen means living in the present and experiencing it through and through.
Zen means being free from the distractions and deceptive conflicts of the material world.
Zen means being in tune with the universal course of things.
Zen is to fully experience the present and to enjoy the fundamental miracle of life itself.
🌄 Wishing Everyone a Good Day with Balance
I really like visiting this place and I've been here a few times over the years. I took the drone to get a better (higher) perspective. As you can see it was one of those lovely sunny Winter days after a hard frost the night before. I also made a short video clip which came out pretty nice.
There are actually 4 circles within a few hundred metres of each other but this is the nicest in my opinion. Apparently Oscar Wilde's father (Sir William Robert Wills Wilde FRCSI (March 1815 – 19 April 1876) lived nearby here for 13 years. He had a strong interest in archeology and folklore and was also fascinated by the circles. I wonder was this one his favorite too?
The red sandstone construction of the old Dallas County Courthouse (known locally as “Old Red”) rises into the sky over North Texas.
The Hurlers stone circles are a group of 3 stone circles on Bodmin `Moor, Cornwall.
The name "Hurlers" derives from a legend, in which men were playing Cornish hurling on a Sunday and were magically transformed into stones as punishment.
Textures and colours - the red stones are clay saturated in red oxide and abound in this area in Les Rougiers in SW France

At a versatile request of a single lady now exclusively the blooming stone rose. The photo of its bud I posted on monday. Ok ... I would have posted it anyway.
Auf vielseitigen Wunsch einer einzelnen Dame hier exklusiv nun die blühenden Steinrosen der Knospe ich am Montag gezeigt habe. Ok ... ich hätte es sowieso gepostet.

Taken just after sunset last night in rural Augusta County, Virginia
This is a spring take on the same barn photographed after sunset almost three months ago:
Eastern Chipmunk.
Between 8 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches in length. Reddish brown above with a white belly. 1 white stripe bordered by 2 black stripes on sides ending at the rump. 2 white stripes on back nuch thinner than side stripes. Dark center stripe down the back. Pale facial stripes above and below the eyes. Tail brown on tip and edged with black. Prominent ears.
The Eastern Chipmunk's habitat includes open deciduous woodlands, forest edges, brushy areas, bushes and stone walls in cemeteries and around houses.
They range from southeastern Canada and the north-eastern U.S. east from North Dakota and eastern Oklahoma and south to Missisippi, northwest Carolina and Virginia.

For the "Looking close... on Friday!"- theme: "a single stone".
I found this painted stone on one of my walks in Corona-time, when everything was shut down and closed.
It was a trend at the time.
First, people would look for stones, then paint them at home and place them in a visible spot in the forest or elsewhere, where other walkers would also come. You could take them with you and place them somewhere else or take them home. I found this one so heartwarming that I kept it.
Wishing you a happy smiling Friday ;-))
