A pastel sunset at Pyramid Lake, Nevada.
Please don't forget the sunrise Photowalk tomorrow morning at the Woman's Forum overlooking Crown Point and the Columbia River Gorge. It will be a blast!
These walking sticks left at one of the trailheads into the Green Gardens Trail in Gros Morne National Park should have given us a hint, I suppose. It looks easy here but once you get to the coast, it's a wonderfully scenic but arduous trek.
flower that scents love
free and durable, always by your side
of the path forever
you decorate it and brighten my way

The sky is what I call a subtle Autumn Orange this morning. My view isn't as good as it will be once the leaves fall off the trees.
This is a response to Elma Džidić's photo. www.flickr.com/photos/199291167@N06/53594100959/in/datepo...
My initial reaction to her photo was "Oh, this really has some sentimental value for her." So, as a way to respond to that impression I had, I decided to take this.
This is the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk and it holds a lot of sentimental value to me because I go there very often, I volunteer to clean there every Summer, and I have so many memories with the beach. However, it's easy to forget the subtle changes over time if you're not observant enough. The boardwalk isn't the same after Hurricane Sandy, and certainly not now, ever since the risk of flooding that threatens the place. So I decided to portray the current change to the boardwalk.
This mid-Summer Sunset warms the unique mountainous formations of Zion National Park. The toned canyonesque sides give way to jagged and disjointed cliffs jutting up to the yellowish cloud filled sky. At a distance is another mountainous range touched by the gilded light of Sunset. In the foreground the green shrubs and bushes are settled under the shadow of a cloud. I found the view and the quiet revitalizing. Zion National Park, Utah 24 July 2009.
This unusually coloured sunflower was at the back of border beside the glasshouses at Sheffield botanical gardens. As I emerged from the abundant jungly growth I noticed I was being watched by two ladies who in turn must have thought I was spying on them. Using the plants as a hiding place. I just smiled courteously and walked away....... briskly... ;D
Some of these flowers were flaming orange red, while others were slightly more pink and not as intense, like this one. All of them were gorgeous. I have no idea what they were, so perhaps someone can identify them.
Even in the tail end of Winter, Sugar Mill Gardens can be ablaze with color, and reminds us that here in Florida, it's more like Spring than Winter most of the cooler months. With the kind of brutal Winter most of the U.S. and Europe has been having, we were blessed to have a rather pleasant one, with a few great, cool days sprinkled in here and there. Summer will be another story, with temps in the 90+ range and heat indexes going over 100 degrees. For us, it's been a really pleasant Winter, and the flowers are proof of it!
A ragged little tree sticks up out of a snowbank. I wish the leaves were a little less curled, but I still like it. I think it's an aspen.

The fish-eye distortion can be overwhelming at times. It’s not overwhelming like when the Bears would make it into the red zone only to botch the landing. But you catch my drift. In this shot below I used a fish-eye lens. The shot contained some of the tripod leg and an awful composition. So, naturally I tried to fix it. I used Lightroom’s lens correction tool. I then cropped out the area I despised and voila!
The lesson from today is use the crop tool to fix shit you dislike. I recently discussed how I dislike cropping if it doesn’t meet the cropping standards. I still used the rule of thirds to compose the shot after the initial cropping. I guess I should have discussed the possibility of your fish-eye lens grabbing too much. Sometimes less is more. I got lucky with the subtle reflection from the skyline. It really makes the city look different.
... FONDACO: the word derives from the Arabian word فندق
which means hotel...
***************************************
First constructed in 1228, and located at the foot of the Rialto Bridge across from the fish market, the Fondaco dei Tedeschi is one of Venice’s largest and most recognizable buildings. It was used as a trading post for German merchants, a customs house under Napoleon, and a post office under Mussolini. Depicted by Canaletto and other masters, and photographed countless times as the impressive but anonymous backdrop of the Rialto bridge, the Fondaco stands as a mute witness of the Venetian mercantile era, its role diminished with the progressive depopulation of Venice.
Twice destroyed by fire and rebuilt (in its current form in 1506), manipulated in the 18th Century, and then subject to a series of radical architectural interventions in the 20th Century to accommodate the central post office under the fascist regime, the Fondaco quietly embodies Venice’s secret brutality. Almost entirely reconstructed with modern concrete technology during 1930s, the Fondaco is a historical palimpsest of modern substance, its preservation spanning five centuries of construction techniques. Regardless of the history of its adaptations (towers removed, courtyard covered with glass, windows added, structure rebuilt …) and the objective lack of authenticity of its structure, its legal status of ‘monument’ (granted in 1987) forbade almost any change.
For a long time it was the palace of the Central Post Office
in Venice till Benetton bought it in 2008....
OMA’s renovation scheme is based on a finite number of strategic interventions and vertical distribution devices that support the new program and define a sequence of public spaces and paths. Each intervention is conceived as an excavation through the existing mass, liberating new perspectives and unveiling the real substance of the building to its visitors, as an accumulation of authenticities.
The project – composed of both architecture and programming – opens the courtyard piazza to pedestrians, maintaining its historical role of covered urban ‘campo’. The new rooftop is created by the renovation of the existing 19th Century pavilion, standing over a new steel and glass floor which hovers above the central courtyard, and by the addition of a large wooden terrace with spectacular views over the city. The rooftop, together with the courtyard below, will become public venues, open to the city and accessible at all times.
New entrances to the building are created from the Campo San Bartolomeo and the Rialto; existing entrances into the courtyard, used by locals as a shortcut, have been retained; escalators have been added to create a new public route through the building; rooms are consolidated in a way that respects the original sequences; crucial historic elements like the corner rooms remain untouched. Some aspects of the building, lost for centuries, have been resurrected: the walls of the gallerias will once again become a surface for frescoes, reappearing in contemporary form.
The Fondaco dei Tedeschi will unlock its potential as a major destination and vantage point for tourists and Venetians alike; a contemporary urban department store staging a diverse range of activities, from shopping to cultural events, social gatherings and everyday life. OMA’s renovation, both subtle and ambitious, continues the Fondaco’s tradition of vitality and adaptation, its preservation yet another chapter of the building’s illustrious and multi-layered history. It avoids nostalgic reconstructions of the past and it demystifies the ‘sacred’ image of a historical building. The project was led by Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, Rem Koolhaas and Silvia Sandor.

Nell’autunno ci sono colori visibili a tutti e altri che appartengono solo a noi: di cui nessuno sa nulla.

Foglie con colori dal tardo autunno risplendono del sole più bello, con una tonalità che ricorda ancora l'estate.

Beauty is often found in the most subtle of details. A faint blush of sunrise pink surrounds a small clump of grass standing in a misty pond at San Luis NWR.
A study of elegance and contrast—soft curves framed by delicate fabric and shadows. The interplay of light and texture adds a layer of mystery, leaving just enough unseen to spark imagination.

Finally got round to covering the new school route 618 - here is VLE35 doing the honours on this afternoon's journey. The destination is Mill Hill Broadway which is definitely on the blinds, so not sure why it's not showing it! Perhaps it's to avoid confusion with the 114.
