Ik was voor het werk even in Den Haag en heb, voor ik de trein weer naar Groningen hebt gepakt, wat foto's gemaakt van de hoogbouw rond het station.

Ich war geschäftlich in Den Haag und habe, bevor ich mit dem Zug zurück nach Groningen fuhr, ein paar Fotos von den Hochhäusern rund um den Bahnhof gemacht.

I was in The Hague for work and, before taking the train back to Groningen, I took some pictures of the high-rise buildings around the station.

Our weather has been unseasonably warm, but gets below freezing every night, so some areas like this marsh get a thin skin of ice overnight which sometimes melts during the day. It won't be long before this marsh freezes solid for the winter. This is on the edge of Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Idaho, and the distant mountains are in wyoming.
I had almost given up on Thin until i came across this bottle and decided to try to make something of it. Thanks to anyone that stops here to View, clicks the star and possibly writes a comment.
The smoky thin cloud curtain on the Heksinki shyline had a special efect on the sunset. (DSC00077-1-2)
It is amazing to this arch live ... at over 300 feet in length, and thin as it is ... just looks like it is ready to drop. Gravity will be winning soon.
Rio Puerco Valley. Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico USA
What I love about this shot: the shades of layers on the mesas across the valley.
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.
lyrics: Pink Floyd

We went to the Death Valley in California with the goal to experience the sailing stones on the Racetrack Playa at new moon. Before dark we scouted interesting stones on the playa and marked their GPS location. It was very windy at night, and we waited in the car for the wind to die down. It did not. I decided to go out on the playa in this condition; I found the rocks via GPS location. I used a dimmed-down warm-color LED floodlight to illuminate the black night. In addition I used a cold-color headlight from a low vantage point to illuminate the sailing stone.
Sailing stones are a geological phenomenon where rocks move and inscribe long tracks along a playa (dry lakebed) without human or animal intervention. Instead, rocks move when large ice sheets a few millimeters thick floating in an ephemeral winter pond start to break up during sunny days. These thin floating ice panels, frozen during cold winter nights, are driven by wind and shove rocks at up to 5 m/min across the muddy playa. More details.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully pulled the curves.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite lakescapes :) still hard to believe this is actually in my home state of California.
As always, I highly welcome your thoughts, critiques, etc. I keep going back and forth between two similar shots from this night and have been replacing them with each other every 10 minutes... I'll finally let this poor photo be and upload the other one later.
