If you really wanna get my presence, all right
No sugarcoat, can't be low, I need all facts
Cause baby you gotta know where my head's at
The edges of ponds and small lakes provide vegetation that interacts seasonally with the water and its reflections...always a fun subject to meditate on.
Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias - Valencia.
A Calatrava's building. A wonderful space... really liked the ambient.
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and Prechistenskaya Embankment in the morning. View from Bersenevskaya Embankment. Shot from tripod, standard picture control, polarizer attached to reduce brightness of the sky.

Taken for the theme "Guess what this is" of "Crazy Tuesday"...
any guess? ;-)

Challenge finished: it is a sponge, captured with a 50mm pentax macro smc takumar plus an extension tube of 28mm.
The loading bay’s hard lines meet the darkness of the pavement. A shallow pool catches the ceiling light, fracturing the industrial architecture into liquid geometry. Here, commerce pauses, and the slick surfaces hold a temporary, silent mirror to the lonely work of the night.
The picture shows a calm lake at sunset. The sky is colored in different shades of blue, which turn into a warm yellow and orange towards the horizon. The water surface of the lake reflects the colors of the sky, creating a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere. On the right edge of the picture, trees can be seen, whose silhouettes are also reflected in the water.
Das Bild zeigt einen ruhigen See bei Sonnenuntergang. Der Himmel ist in verschiedenen Blautönen gefärbt, die sich zum Horizont hin in ein warmes Gelb und Orange verwandeln. Die Wasseroberfläche des Sees spiegelt die Farben des Himmels wider und erzeugt eine harmonische und friedliche Atmosphäre. Am rechten Bildrand sind Bäume zu sehen, deren Silhouetten sich ebenfalls im Wasser spiegeln.
On my way to the water to enjoy a good day of paddle boarding, The paddle board is one of the latest from Madpea, The paddle comes with several realistic animations including a few yoga sets. So grab a board and come relax on the water. See you on the surface!
Something a bit different - a landscape of droplets on red plastic.
Had the (mis)fortune to be working on the plastic, prepping an art installation for Hobart's annual DARK MOFO. Rained pretty much the whole time and we were well over it by the end.
For this pic however, the sun came out for a few moments and the 'art' was hard to pass up!

Blue creek point, Eufaula lake. Pittsburg County, Oklahoma... Decided to post something a little bit different than the stuff I have been putting out lately. The comp is maybe a bit too busy, I don't know, I still like it though. Hate to post and run but I have to go to work. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
Just viewing the pond this morning and this guy popped up - made each other jump and then we had the stand off!!
A moment of perfect stillness on a frigid morning. A magnificent male Gadwall duck confronts the viewer with a direct, unwavering gaze as it floats on the icy water. A delicate dusting of frost on its head and the thick mist rolling in the background speak to the deep chill in the air. This intimate, eye-level perspective reveals the breathtakingly intricate, lace-like patterns of its feathers, creating a powerful portrait of serene resilience against the cold.
Mount Vernon, George Washington's home, is built of wood, but the siding looks like as if it is made of stone by rustication, a false appearance of stone.
Detail of the rusticated side of the Mount Vernon mansion. In the 1st and 3rd rows, near the simulated block line, meeting of two wooden boards shows. In the area where painting is off, the original wooden board is shown underneath.
The yellow pine siding boards were cut at regular intervals and beveled to resemble stone blocks. After paint was applied to the board, sand was thrown onto their wet surface so create a stone-like texture. In addition to making the Mansion appear more substantial and expensive, the sand-painted surface protected the wood siding boards.
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Mineral Surfaces. A former decorative waterfall seems to indicate a rocky road ahead. HMMM!
I've got hundreds of these little wheels in my basement. How do i get rid of them?

Inle Lake is a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Taunggyi District of Shan State, Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 116 km2, and one of the highest at an elevation of 880m.
Most transportation on the lake is traditionally by small boats, or by somewhat larger boats fitted with single cylinder inboard diesel engines. Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men. Women row in the customary style, using the oar with their hands, sitting cross legged at the stern.

‘But it flows. Yeah, it flows.
Underneath the city through' dirty brickwork conduits
Connecting white witches on the Moor with pre-raphaelites down in Broomhall.’
The Wicker is an area in the centre of Sheffield. There is a confluence of the River Don and River Sheaf, which then run in underground tunnels before surfacing on the south side of the city. I’ve linked to an article on the tunnels below:

Pulp hailed from Sheffield and the video that I’ve linked to shows each of the places mentioned in the song.

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star comprising about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. It is a near-perfect sphere, with an oblateness estimated at about 9 millionths,which means that its polar diameter differs from its equatorial diameter by only 10 km. As the Sun consists of a plasma and is not solid, it rotates faster at its equator than at its poles. This behavior is known as differential rotation, and is caused by convection in the Sun and the movement of mass, due to steep temperature gradients from the core outwards. This mass carries a portion of the Sun’s counter-clockwise angular momentum, as viewed from the ecliptic north pole, thus redistributing the angular velocity. The period of this actual rotation is approximately 25.6 days at the equator and 33.5 days at the poles. However, due to our constantly changing vantage point from the Earth as it orbits the Sun, the apparent rotation of the star at its equator is about 28 days. The centrifugal effect of this slow rotation is 18 million times weaker than the surface gravity at the Sun's equator. The tidal effect of the planets is even weaker, and does not significantly affect the shape of the Sun
