Surfacing is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan, released on 15 July 1997. It was produced by McLachlan's frequent collaborator, Pierre Marchand, and its release coincided with the start of McLachlan's Lilith Fair tour. The album reached the top position on the Canadian RPM 100 Albums chart, number two on the US Billboard 200 and became her first album to reach the top 50 outside of North America.
On 23 October 2001, "Building a Mystery" became the first song ever publicly played on an Apple iPod. Apple founder, chairman and CEO Steve Jobs selected and played a short portion of the song during the presentation in which he first introduced the iPod to the public at Apple Campus in Cupertino, California.
I love Sarah’s voice and her music, I was hoping to see her performing live in their last tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of her album Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, one of my all time favorite albums, but I couldn’t,
Happy anniversary, Sarah McLachlan!!

Photographed on the coast of the Gulf of Finland in the Kallahti nature reserve, Helsinki in mid-March. A warm week (+5 °C) with rains melted the snow from the sea ice and accumulated water in puddles. The freezing weather that followed this made the ice surface really smooth, bringing out the features of the ice flowers well (A7R4078-1e).

High Street, and a single rain drop. When you are getting close to a surface you should not be surprised to detect its imperfections. Nothing is perfect. The plaster has come off in places and we can see what is underneath. And what is underneath is itself a cover hiding a much older timber-framed brick building. There was a time, perhaps around 1800, when many frontages in Markyate were "updated" according to the architectural fashion of the day. Usually, the choice was the Georgian style with its accompanying sash windows. Some buildings such as this one, however, achieved distinction by imitating a much grander stone masonry on their front wall. Grandeur comes at a price, of course, and is in need of constant maintenance. Fuji X-Pro3, MItakon Speedmaster 0.95/35 wide-open.

Just wanted to take a minute to clear something up about my last image. That is not a Cactus garden. I do not know of any true Texan that would plant Cactus. It's almost impossible to get rid of. If you chop it up it starts new plants from the pieces. If we try to run over it with the tractor the thorns punch holes in the tires and it doesn't freeze during the winter.
Looking as if it had breached the forecourt of the Buffalo Naval Museum, the sail of the nuclear powered submarine USS Boston greets visitors preparing to enter the site. More here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_and_Erie_County_Naval_%26_M...
The stillness of the water hides a predator’s patience. Only the ridged crown and ancient eyes of the alligator break the surface, a living fossil gliding through ripples that shimmer like brushed steel. The scene is pure tension calm on top, power beneath a reminder that Florida’s wetlands are never truly quiet. Every subtle movement of the water feels deliberate, every reflection a whisper of the creature’s stealth. This is the moment between awareness and action, captured before the strike, before the calm folds back into chaos.

Using Live view and holding camera a couple inches above the surface is tricky with the D500 as DSLRs live view focusing is not the best so you do have to use manual to get in range and hope the focus stays on the subject as it does not track well, plus you get the delay before it takes the picture
These images should be much easier with mirrorless cameras like the Z9
