Sunset on the Zambezi river - the clouds look like a giant Tiger Fish is about to swallow up the sun.
At Portencross. The tide was far out tonight, leaving the wee harbour high and dry. Salacia was the Greek goddess of salt water who ran (or flippered) away from Neptune. He sent a dolphin after her to talk her into coming back. Sounds about as likely as the brilliant weather today. February in the west of Scotland! There was even some noticeable heat in that sun.
i'm finally done sorting pictures from august and september. unfortunately i haven't really taken any since then. so for now i'm going to edit them until i get inspired once again.
school took over my life and i hope i can restart my 365 or start a new 365....
** i replaced this with a crop. the composition was bugging me ... this still bugs me but less.
A very rock stretch of coastline on North Shore, Oahu. The light started to get more and more colorful as I made my way down to this spot wearing only flip flops. I definitely earned a few scrapes from the sharp lava rock.
Peaceful evening along the Green River in northwestern Colorado. One of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen!
Sunset on one of the Philippines islands. It was made in "habagat" season, it`s most cloudy one. I was cursing on these clouds nearly every sunset, cause most of the time they covered sun down spectacles, but sometimes they created something unusual. Like here- "sunset at the world`s end"
The winter sunset comes early. Days are shorter and nights are longer. Winter weather provides beautiful cloud formations for us to enjoy. 354/366
Beddington Lane is a mixture of sewage works, waste transfer station, warehouses, ASDA, some houses and an array of electrical pylons (oh and a golf course too)
Took this photo in mid December - it was freezing cold & windy but the sunset was beautiful. There were still surfers in the sea...mad!
I photographed this as the sun was setting after a thunderstorm. The escarpment in the background forms the western border of the Mara Triangle.

Spent two days in the UK on a business trip. After work, I thought I'd take a drive up to Salisbury. I only had two hours of daylight left and wanted to go for a drive, no real purpose, just to get away for a bit. Drove passed Stonehenge, I knew that the site is under major construction so it wasn't on my to do list this time. Drove through Salisbury, nice drive but it was a bit of a grey, dull evening so no photos taken. Circled round and took a motorway back to where I came from. Drove over a hill and was completely stunned to see that not only, within the 10 minutes I spent driving on a tree-lined road without a view, the sky had turned into a magnificent sunset, but also that from this side, Stonehenge was visible in all its glory because all the construction was being done on the other side of the hill, and the sun was going down exactly behind it. Only problem was - I was going 80 mph on a very, very busy motorway. I was actually screaming like I was being murdered, panicking about missing this opportunity, knowing that there would be no cheering up possible in the next few days to come if I didn't manage to turn around. So I actually literally risked my life by spotting a tiny tiny dirt road in a right angle to the motorway that I entered at almost full speed by turning the wheel with little braking, because hitting the brakes on the motorway would have caused the car behind me to hit me. I turned the car around in a big cloud of dirt, making my adrenaline peak from feeling like a rally driver, but instantly cursing myself for doing it because there didn't seem to be a way to get back on the motorway because I had no view to the left at all. Risked it by pulling up really hard (well, as hard as a Fiat 500 allows), then 30 seconds after had to make the same sort decision again because at the precise spot I wanted to take photos from there was no emergency lane or parking spot. There was a small construction site along the road, basically a small sandpit marked with pylons - that I actually smashed when I hit the sand (only realizing long afterwards that I had no way of knowing whether I would ever be able to get out of the sand again). I stopped the engine, got my camera, got out, turned around, and all of a sudden, the world went quiet. Even though I stood alongside a busy motorway, it was just quiet. I took a few photos and only then realized I wasn't alone - there was a woman with a motorcycle who had basically done the very same thing right after I did and for the first 5 minutes, we didn't say anything, we basically clicked and cried.
After spending some time talking with her (and not believing my luck as within 15 minutes the sky went grey again), I drove 'home' on a natural high. Even though it was late, I couldn't resist going into 'our' pub (the wonderful Three Daggers in Edington) so I could upload the photos to my laptop to make sure they were real. :-) Ended up being there at least an hour, probably more, with a nice cup of tea (with milk of course, when in England, do as the Brits do) and an ever nicer chat with two colleagues that I had e-mailed with but not yet 'really' had a good chat with. What a lovely evening.
Processing: none.
No, none. I'm so pleased, especially since I was a long way away from the structure.
Looking west along Melville Street in Edinburgh towards St Mary's Cathedral, with a super sunset taking place. Two other people were busy taking photographs too.

A última hora de la tarde, en la Cala del Charco, el sol sacaba destellos de las olas que rompÃan contra las rocas. Una tarde veraniega agradable junto a compañeros fotógrafos y amigos. Para esta foto aproveche un momento de luz especial e hice hincapié en el cÃrculo naranja del sol que se ocultaba entre las montañas de la parte superior derecha, esos últimos rayos naranjas unidos a la espuma del mar podÃan proporcionar un ambiente diferente a la foto. A la hora de componer utilice dos sujetos principales, la roca en primer plano y la torre del fondo, unidas por una lÃnea imaginaria diagonal. El agua con un movimiento transversal formando ondas aporta dinamismo y movimiento a la toma. He dejado parte del cielo porque me parece interesante la tonalidad y las texturas que tenÃa ese dÃa. Para la toma he utilizado la D7000, el Sigma 10-20, trÃpode, cable disparador y filtro degradado inverso Hi-Tech 0.9 montado sobre un portafiltros de LEE.
(Day 162)
Spent the day at Cedar Point getting dizzy and having a blast. Photo of the day came from the trolley cars which span the park.
