Dame nature qui nous gâte ... Lady nature that spoils us
Et qui réflète sa beauté ... That reflects it's beauty

Clouds make art from a sunset! The temperature's cooling day by day .... somehow these beautiful warm colours make me feel cozier! :)
I was on a surf trip in Bali Indonesia and one evening I took my camera out. This kid in the pic was really a killer good surfer... must have grown up in the water.
One of my last shots from Wednesdays rather nice sunset, it was very nearly dark when I took this one but I was milking it for all it was worth. The sand and shingle along this stretch of coast at Lancing is very soft and not that good at supporting a tripod especially when waves comes in around and overtop my wellies , it makes long exposures a bit of a trial so I take lots more images to makes sure I have some keepers. lots more to come .
One: Denial
Over the past few days, several cruise passengers – including Emma and Nigel – have taken to the bed with flu-like symptoms. The ship’s medical team, purportedly denying what the world had come to accept by then, sent out a memo earlier assuring passengers that their cruise ship was the safest place to be during a raging viral epidemic. ‘The risks… are near negligible’, they had written.
Near negligible!? Nigel has a high fever with shortness of breath, while Emma woke up the other morning with an incapacitating soreness in her throat and a headache that felt like being in a millstone. Confined to their claustrophobic cabin, the world appeared unusually grey through their little glass-pane window. Days are dying in utter silence in this pandemic – the culling master of vulnerable, which this ship has many. Despite the peripeteia in their plans, she hoped against hope that they are not one of them.
“Why won’t they let us dock and go home? Are we supposed to rot away here and vanish on our own?”, she said in a weak voice that betrayed her exasperations. The ship was barred from the port and was now anchored a few miles from the shore.
“For the greater good… saving everyone else but us”, he responded sarcastically in vexation. “Utilitarian sycophants! Why don’t they instead rescue the healthy ones from the ship and quarter them to obtain their organs? That too shall save many greater number of people on organ wait-lists!”
“Such dim-conceived glories of the brain
Bring round the heart an undescribable feud;
So do these wonders a most dizzy pain,
That mingles Grecian grandeur with the rude”
–John Keats (On Seeing the Elgin Marbles)

Mount Lómagnúpur in South Iceland, partially covered in snow, bathed in soft sunset light against a gentle lavender sky and reflecting in a small but still unfrozen section of the nearby river.
This distinctive 767m mountain was formed over 1 million years and is largely made of palagonite, with lava beds and sediment making up the base.
The mountain is of enormous cultural significance to the Icelandic people and has been extensively written about by authors and poets. One poet, Jón Helgason, in his poem Áfangar writes of the great giant Járngrímur emerging from the mountain. Járngrímur is an important cultural icon for the people of south Iceland. He is said to have acted as a guardian spirit during the earliest days of the country’s settlement, warding off potential invasions from foreign Kings. Because of this role, the giant can now be seen on Iceland’s coat of arms, iron staff in hand, alongside the three other guardian spirits who make up the North, East and West of the country.

A spiritual meditation and reflection moment

As seen looking down the Leeds Liverpool Canal in Lydiate, Merseyside. The canal was flat calm almost like glass reflecting the fire in the setting sun.
One of those "may as well go out, nothing better to do shoots". I was hoping the colour would spread further around but it didn't quite do that so I should have really gone somewhere facing west but was too lazy. The water was perfectly still so it would have been really nice with the right sky.
“Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space. I know of no sculpture, painting or music that exceeds the compelling spiritual command of the soaring shape of granite cliff and dome, of patina of light on rock and forest, and of the thunder and whispering of the falling, flowing waters.”
–Ansel Adams
Reflecting on the banks of the gently flowing Merced river, it was not hard to visualize mythical gods aboding those giant peaks. These Gods must have been excited when Ansel Adams visited their garden and decided to craft his version of the Sistine Chapel on films and plates. The master may have stood somewhere close to where I was while shooting the Valley view above… now, that very thought gave me goosebumps. Following footsteps of such an august giant is not easy. Scores of advancements in photography equipment and techniques has made it relatively undemanding to reproduce a classical view. However, to perceive that ‘compelling spiritual command’ within and then reproduce resulting ‘glitters of green and golden wonders’ inside a 3X2 frame is the hard part. Please pardon my audacity, the wee expressionist in me had to give it a try.
Ecco il Sole piegarsi all’abisso,
fiamma sospesa tra cielo e mare,
carro d’Apollo che sfiora l’orizzonte,
fondendo oro e sangue nell’ultima corsa.
Il Mediterraneo lo accoglie in silenzio,
eco di dèi e canti svaniti,
mentre il fuoco si dissolve nell’onda,
promessa eterna di un ritorno.

Just another shot from last Mondays rather good sunset, I`m told that Tuesdays was even nicer but I was at work and could rather frustratingly see the sky reflected in the building opposite.
“Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.”
― Maya Angelou
Blue hour reflections across Canning Dock on the Liverpool Waterfront. Lovely still conditions and a pleasant enough sunset sky make for nice shots.
The great thing about shooting local is you pretty know what your composition will be and its more of a case of getting lucky with the conditions. The more you go out the luckier you get
It was a perfect evening for photography, calm water, beautiful light and beautiful cloud formation.
All alone with me

Bon Mardi à tous
On this evening I went to Princess Point in Hamilton Ontario in hopes of getting a good sunset. Nothing was happening in the sky. So, I decided to put on a telephoto lens in hopes of getting a closer scene of the swans. I was new to switching out lenses so I was a bit slow at it. When I stood back up and looked out over the water this is what had happened ... in just a few minutes! My wide angle lens went back on. I'm much better at switching lenses now hehe!
