Was immer du tust, vergiss nicht, dass wir nur diese eine Welt zum Leben haben. Wenn wir sie schützen und mit Ehrfurcht behandeln, wird sie es uns danken.
We only have this one world to live in. Don't forget that. If we treat her well, she will thank us.
Don't forget, not sure what you shouldn't forget, but it looks like she forgot. Either way this is a great place to come and remember all the things you don't want to forget, or a great place to forget all the things you want to forget.

"Pineapple juice doesn’t come in a can—it comes in a hard, spiky shell called a pineapple. Pineapples are great and all, but of all things to grow, up is the most profitable.” - Jarod Kintz
I think this is my first time experimenting with a multiple daylight long exposures, I took 400 shots at this famous spot on Xinyi Avenue, and then picked five of them to create this image.
1. Clouds (one exposure): 192 sec., f22, 11mm, ISO 200 + ND8 + ND400 + Black card.
2. Traffic (four exposures): 1 sec., f22, 11mm, ISO 200 + ND8 + Black card
3. Processing: Adobe Camera Raw + CS6 + Google Nik Collection
Have a great day!
I always think they are quite mad because the ice - as some people have discovered - is not yet thick enough...Good way to lose a vehicle. Homme Dam, ND
The title of my fifth image in this series says it all, I think. Suddenly the sun was out and this single flower just presented itself in all of its beauty.
All pictures in this series will be added to my tulip folder If you are interested in some general information about tulips, there's a longer text alongside this picture of a wayside tulip and finally there are some thoughts about this series attached to the first picture in it.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
I see street photography as a privilege. The right to photograph anyone and anything in and from a public place for the purpose of art and documentary is not universal around the world. Rights can be taken away at any time, especially when abused.
I shoot courteously and always respect my subjects right to refuse to be photographed. I have always deleted shots when asked to do so.
On Thursday in Glasgow I was harassed by another street photographer. I don't have to justify why I turned my back to them as they tried to photograph me and I am not a hypocrite for doing so despite their protestations that I 'had a nerve'.
However, if someone indicates or tells you that they do not want to be photographed, if you continue to photograph them over and over again what you are doing can be classified as harassment, a criminal matter. Don't be a jerk and don't bully people.
I reacted out of a place of trauma and I am not proud of that but, as you all know, harassment formed a major part of causing my trauma in the first place. The point is that we, as street photographers, have a responsibility to treat people respectfully. This is deeply important if we want our 'rights' to continue in a world becoming increasingly wary of photographers and 'surveillance'.
This is why I take one shot and move on.
You don't follow people, chase them, take multiple shots or feel affronted if they refuse to be photographed.
Take care my Flickr friends. Take photos. Be kind to one another and I wish you a wonderful week in this crazy world.

We see many black birds here so it stands to reason they would also be in our Gardens.

Rodin's famous statue, commonly called 'The Thinker' or 'Le Penseur' was designed as a representation of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, for inclusion in a monumental work called 'The Gates of Hell' - a huge bronze doorway for a museum that was never completed.
There are some 28 life-size 'Thinkers' on exhibition around the world, all considered to be 'originals' - and not one of them made by Auguste Rodin himself.
As well as being a genius sculptor in clay, maybe Rodin's greatest success was his ability to industrialise the process of turning his clay sculptures into much larger bronze statues - the creation of enlarged models and their casting, conducted by teams of skilful artisans.
The Rodin Museum, close to Bois de Boulogne in Paris, is well worth spending a couple of hours if you're in the area.

What a luxury that would be !
While I sit here at the computer with a hot water bottle strapped to my sciatica via a knotted flanno shirt, and another hottie waiting for me already in bed ( hot water bottle ), the pain is finally easing and I just want to be lulled to sleep, with no dogs barking at wallabies, no getting up and down to let the girls in and out ... in and out, all flamin' night ... just want to ease my mind of all the stuff going on lately, all the things I'm supposed to be doing but can't, all the humans who've annoyed the crap outta me lately, all the favours other people expect from me with no thought of lending me a hand,
…. all the ... all the … zzzzzz…..
Off to bed extra early folks, a huge thank you for all your support, with apologies I'm behind in some visits, and other visits too quick with faves and no comments, a stream of unanswered/unread Flickr mails waiting … I am so blinkin' tired..
no ed's..
Weeds in the wind, late afternoon, up the bank from the river bend, just down the road from town.
The light is from ther glare off a tin roof.
I could've sat there for longer the other day.

There's something about this project that gives me confidence I didn't think I had, it opens up different concepts and ideas in my head, it makes me think more, and often times I truly feel like I have a twin. If I'm so happy with this project already at day 37 i'm so excited for the rest of it!
this is my first body expansion of myself!
You can see the place we stayed in the eye.
We. went on a few trips this year. The most special was to Shetland. This otter appeared in the harbour feet from where we were staying.While it was fishing I grabbed my camera and sideled down one of the slipways. Remarkably the otter caught it's lunch and decided to eat it on the same slipway. I tried to retreat but it landed so quickly I ended up staying put. Having finished it's meal it came even closer to sniff me out before deciding I didn't smell so good and popping back into the water. An amazing experience and one I will always remember.
The saying has certainly had some meaning for me this year. After a lovely week down on the Coast at Lymington in the New Forest, I returned back home refreshed. However, by Monday evening, I said to my wife."I think I'm coming down with something" I had a headache, which is unusual for me and a bit of a cough! The following morning I felt even worse and did a Covid test, but was negative. So perhaps a bit of man flu, I presumed.
The 15th of March is the "Ides of March" in the Old Roman Calendar and as the day went on I went steadily downhill and overnight I did another Covid test which confirmed the worst!!
Anyway, sat feeling distinctly under the weather in my sick chair, I watched the sky outside at dusk starting to get really interesting. I didn't feel like getting up out of the chair, let alone getting the camera and tripod out. BUT the sky was awesome, so I staggered achingly into the garden and took this shot, before being ordered sternly and severely back to my sick chair by my live in carer!!!
So this is my "Ides of March" shot. The lengths we go to when confronted with a shot opportunity!!
Think the ID is right. These little things are still stupidly shiny even when it's cloudy. :@D

Do you think this picture look like warm? I tell you the truth, this lady with chinese descent, although Kompong Phhluk is a very poor place, but her behavior is very bad, because she keep selling stationery to tourists at high price, then told tourists to give the stationery to the children in the school. I see most of the local people are working down to earth, not to make money with a treacherous.
They think they're so clever, shuffling their little schemes and side-eyes across the garden court. Let them whisper behind their fans, let them bluff with their painted smiles and hollow promises. I see every tell, every nervous flutter of lashes, every bead of sweat masquerading as morning dew.
The thing about holding the Ace of Hearts? You don't show it. You let them play their hands—let them think they've got you figured out with their twos and threes and desperate kings. You smile. You sip your wine. You watch them double down on nothing.
And when the moment's ripe, when they've bet everything on their mediocre cards and puffed-up confidence?
That's when you lay it down.
The crowd always gasps the same way—half outrage, half admiration. But honey, I stopped playing for their approval ages ago.
I play to win.
