These flowers are from a bush that I grow in a large pot. A friend gave me 3 seeds a few years ago and only one germed. This is a tropical species and I have to bring them inside and cut back each winter. Anyone have any idea what they are, please let me know.

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.

This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.

The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.

In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.

While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 15 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

The new Professor found her barings and settled into School nicely. There were a few things still left to do before the term started officially next week, and many things to consider as she settled into her new role. For now, she pulled out a book - there was material to review.

I found this on a building, covered with metal siding, close to the Museum of Glass. Tacoma, WA

A new flower for me - the African Lily or Agapanthus. The flower heads are big, full of flowers and rather drooping and shaggy - like a very bad hair day! So I took a few of the small flowers, and used the sunlight streaming through the window.

There'a a window, some bokeh and plenty of textures - so ....

Another study in color grading.

I took this RAW shot 5 years ago and it is technically all wrong. I clearly remember the day since it was one of my first outings with my new Sony camera. Randi with her sharp eye pointed out the interesting patterns on the sand dunes in Malibu and I took this and a few similar shots. I clearly used the wrong aperture, the focus is off and framing is haphazard.

I have come back to this photo a few times over the years, intrigued by the shadows in the sand but not knowing what to do.

Recently, as I am learning more about color theory and color grading techniques, I have taken a swipe at editing this photo in a complementary color scheme. While the raw file is totally lacking color, with typical SoCal grayish sand, ocean and sky, this edit is specifically focused on complimentary orange and blue hues, evoking African sand dunes by the Indian Ocean.

Thank you very much for your views, kind comments and faves.
