"The funny thing about fairy tales, is that we forget about them so fast
And we grow up, we buy things, we build up fences
We sell our innocence and forget our dreams
We forget who we are in order to be something we’re not
And we’ll keep believing in this so called truths, until we forget how to live
Or until we open our eyes, and wake up."
Sunny fog early in the morning, on a day that was going to be a warm Spring day!

Apart from resin on my clothes and skin and mosquitos and problems with the car, taking photos with these beautiful girls in the forest that day was so much fun. :)
A tanuki, or Japanese raccoon dog, is more dog than raccoon. It's a quiet, nocturnal animal that can be found in most parts of Japan, even urban areas. It's represented in folk tales as two different characters. Older tales depict tanuki as being spirits that can shape-shift, capable of assuming human form or even the form of an everyday object. More modern stories represent male tanuki as womanising, heavy-drinking characters that wear a farmer's straw hat and carry a saké bottle and notebook. The tales say that tanuki constantly need to borrow money and use the notebook to write down their debts. This image shows a tanuki in his usual guise alongside a pot of rice ready to brew his next batch of saké.
The photo was taken on a Nikon D750 using the fabled 55mm AIS f/2.8 macro lens. The shot was lit from the left using a Nikon SB-800 in a softbox and from the right using a Nikon SB-600 with reflector and grid to light the background. A white card filled in the shadows.

I was going through my archives and found a scenery which i took some years ago. The geroldsau waterfall in the black forest. This time with a more dreamy look ! :-)

Many people refer to Iceland as the ‘land of fire and ice’ but the ‘land of waterfalls’, or ‘Foss’ in Icelandic, would be just as apt. Everywhere you go there are awe inspiring columns of water falling over basalt cliffs, or cascading through old lava fields. So I saw my fair share of waterfalls in the 2 weeks I was over in Iceland, but I think this one was my favourite! This is Gljufurarfoss, a magical waterfall, semi concealed in a cavern, and often over shadowed by its more famous neighbour; Seljalandsfoss. Walking through this canyon is like walking into a fairy tale, it just doesn’t seem real, a really beautiful place.
With such a contrast between the highlights and the shadows I opted for a bracket covering 6 stops and then blended them together using luminosity masks. I’ll pop up a few more shots of this location in the next few days.

I met her on my way back.
And she told me her nightmare tale.
Her destiny was to make dream all the girls in town,
But nobody did the same to her.
She just could stay beautiful forever.
What a lovely happy-ending.

I am a very serious person...
...99.9% of the time.
I despise chickens and all chicken-related things (books, humor, art, etc.). Even the sight or mention of a chicken makes me groan inside. Then why in the world would I choose to build this?
Occasionally, when my mind is tired, not knowing what to think or even why to think, I fall into absurdity. In short, I cave. My seriousness leaves, and in its place stands incoherent gibberish. I embrace what I don't like, even if that means chickens.
So in a way, this creation represents the utter nonsense that can spout forth from a brain that really is not thinking clearly.
Speaking of that, Chicken Little is a story about some foolish young fowl who has a piece of something fall on its head (it may be an acorn, or a leaf, or a raindrop; who knows?). It goes berserk and insists that "The sky is falling!!". Thenceforth Chicken Little makes a huge fuss over it and gathers fellow animals to go warn the ruler of the area. The group meets a sly fox (what other kind of fox would there be?), who convinces the gullible animals that the way to the ruler goes right through the fox's lair. They enter the lair and the fox eats them all. (Or, if you like the other versions better, they escape and warn the ruler, but still turn out to be incorrect about the sky.)
So I think that that image of hysteria is what I've captured in this obnoxious little build. Whenever I feel like blurting out whatever my immediate reaction to my circumstances is, this chicken can remind me to always think before I speak, lest I believe the world will end and thereby fulfill my own prophecy through my own ignorance.
Don't worry, I promise that the next creations I submit will be serious in nature. This one is not a new precedent for me.
This chicken is a bauble-head; it has a technic axle as its neck that would need to be flexible if this were to become a set so that the head could wobble. The wings and tail can flap.
And yes, that is a canoe.

The word 'Istanbul' adds magic to our imagery.
Architecture, tapestry, jewellery, silks, species... all beauties of Istanbul (Turkey) still come to Life in the city.
In its long history, Istanbul has served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922).
The Ottoman Turks built the Anadoluhisarı on the Asian side of the Bosphorus in 1394, and the Rumelihisarı at the opposite (European) shore, in 1452, a year before the conquest of Constantinople. The main purpose of these castles, armed with the long range Balyemez (Faule Metze) cannons, was to block the sea traffic of the Bosphorus and prevent the support ships from the Genoese colonies on the Black Sea ports, such as Caffa, Sinop, and Amasra, from reaching Constantinople and helping the Byzantines during the Turkish siege of the city.
The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
