This is an image from a trip to the beautiful Lofoton Islands in Norway from a few years ago.
I am taking a small group back out this February and have a place left if anyone is interested in joining us send me a Flickr mail and I will give you the details.
This Black Browed Albatross was photographed somewhere in the Southern Atlantic Ocean between Argentina and the Falkland Islands.
Whilst others on the boat were knocking back their cocktails I was often to be found out on deck, constantly being blown around whilst on the look out for seabirds. There were good numbers at times but the Black Browed Albatross and the Southern Giant Petrels were the two species that came close and showed interest. As such most of the photographs I took were of these two species. Both species but in particular the albatross hardly seemed to move a muscle and simply wheeled around floating on the updraft from the ocean.
This shot requires two more people to complete.
No matter how long we waited, no team of four crossed the street together.
So I left it unfinished. Someday the opportunity will come.
This is a Juvenile Sanderling.
The Pea Island Wildlife Sanctuary is an excellent place to see warblers and much larger birds like the Herons. There were thousands of White Pelicans which originate in Wyoming and come to North Carolina for winter.
This woodpecker is near its nest and has a mouth full of bugs for its young. Photographed along the Tieton River, Yakima County, Washington. IMG_6064
[This] 1980 sculpture by Alan Chung Hung [1946–1994], located adjacent to the Vancouver Maritime Museum in Vanier Park in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1] The 4.6-metre (15 ft) sculpture of a square, cut and twisted "like a paper clip" to form an arch, is composed of weathered Corten steel that rusts to provide a protective layer. The work was installed in 1980 to commemorate the arrival of Captain George Vancouver in Burrard Inlet [...].
The work, sited on a plaza of paving stones that measures 7.9 metres (26 ft) x 8.5 metres (28 ft), frames views of English Bay, the North Shore Mountains and the city.[...]. According to Chung Hung [who was born in Canton, China, moved to Vancouver in 1969, and studied at the Vancouver School of Art]: "The objective of the sculpture is to create a symbolic image with definite visual expression, awakening an awareness in Captain George Vancouver's contribution to the world, his remarkable and meticulous surveys which included the north Pacific coast."

When I was younger, with my mom's help, I planted a jellybean in my garden. Planting it deep into the soil. I was two people in that moment: one who felt childhood optimism that perhaps this shop-bought jelly bean sweet could grow into a plant, the other part of me knew it would only rot and remain in the ground. Both versions held some truth, both versions still live within me.
I try to exist as both people to this day, learning that they are both great ways to be. In fact, they're even stronger when together. It is up to us to choose our outlooks on life. Do we think about the "what ifs" with hope and child-like wonder, do we analyse and decide based on facts, or do we accumulate a willingness to see both as valid outlooks?
'This might work.' Self Portrait, August 2020.
This part of the creek is in the national park. When the creek exits the park it is a popular trout fly fishing destination. I used lures and a pretty good luck.
This rusty-patched bumble bee is one of the rarest bumble bees in the U.S. and is listed as an endangered species. Their population has plummeted in recent decades as the savanna habitat that they prefer has been converted to croplands or housing developments. The Decorah Prairie and similar grasslands filled with wildflowers in the summer provide the necessary pollen and nectar supplies to keep the local rusty-patched bumble bee colonies alive.
when ever I look at this image it makes me happy, that's why the name.
the beautiful colour of this flower and multi coloured sdof makes the image more beautiful.
this image has been taken at trissur, kerala, india.
thanks for every one for views, faves, comments.
For me there is nothing better, on a dreary morning, than the recollection of a beautiful day spent in nature. It’s hard to beat the exhilaration of sharing space with bears in their own element. In a place where they have survived for millennia, we are only visitors, relegated to carving out small areas and brief seasons in which to live. Man, the most invasive species, has yet to this conquer this domain, and hopefully they never will. #BrownBears
Great. More people. Just what we needed.
Man, I really hate this place! At least Punk Suit is with me on that one.
Ranger Rick still thinks he can handle the situation. He is so wrong!
We are all going to die a gruesome death in this place.
And if that bitch doesn't stop screaming right now, she will be the first one!
This was when I was having a drink in the Hard Rock Cafe across street, that I noticed this guy sitting relaxed, messaging from his cell phone (I guess:P). To complete the frame, just behind him, in an open air grill/bar, there was an old couple ordering their food and having wine!
This is probably stretching it to fit the topic. But when I buy flowers, I use every photographic angle possible.
Used Circular App.
Thanks to Di for giving me the idea to add to this group. 😁
This is not a valley for the faint of heart, after rain melted 2 feet of snow its still a wintry scene.
This is the Biosphere in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Shot with a polarizing filter and minor Lightroom manipulation. I love the lines and colors...
This image was taken through the windshield of a Hughes 500D helicopter about 34 years ago. I've done about all the processing possible with the original transparency. The image shows the Ruth Glacier before climate change really kicked in. The entire foreground in the image is the glacier; more than a mile wide.

Spotted this place as I was driving north on Hwy 89 toward Jackson, WY.
Map location is approximate.
This is a very happy photo.
The friends we make in our 20's are often those that stay with us for the balance of our years...
Chester City centre...this is where all the main streets in the centre of this city meet. Image taken moments before the madding crowds hit the shops!.
Please View On Black ...go on!.....you know you want too.
This is a bud on a climbing rose. backlit by the morning sun. I've used my Mikon Z6ii with Nikkor 105mm macro lens with a 1.4x teleconverter. Unusual for me, I went without
a tripod and hand held it. Also, I did a bit of editing to lighten it and add a bit of contrast.
This Mummers English Folklore street play takes place traditionally every 26 December (Boxing Day) this performance was captured in Stoneleigh Warwickshire England.
This species is common up here year round, and very appreciative of the food supplied during harsh winter months. There are four recognized color morphs of this bird, and I suspect they mix it up to complicate things even more for us birders! This one is Gray-headed. In North America, a second Junco species is found mainly in our neighboring state of AZ: the Yellow-eyed Junco. Both Juncos are considered to be members of the Sparrow family.

Having started out by Stillwell and finding out 396 was still a ways off we started driving west looking for the GTW Tri-lights but once turning onto S1150W road this nice scene came into sight making our short search for the tri-lights come to an end as this was a much nicer scene to be had.
This is a CN train running on CP's tracks in the directional running area of the Thompson/Fraser canyons. There was, of course, another engine on the head end of this train. In this photo you are looking at the unmanned tail end DPU.
This Circumhorizontal Arc is an optical atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when the sun is high in the sky and its rays are refracted by plate-shaped ice crystals in high-level cirrus clouds. The phenomenon is popularly, but erroneously, referred to as a "fire rainbow." View from 13,500 ft. on Mount Evans. Arapaho National Forest. Clear Creek Co., Colo.
This is the view out towards the forecourt from inside the ticket hall at Temple Meads railway station in Bristol, photographed on Saturday 19th July 2014.
This picture is doing well in many groups about the color GREEN. It was and still is a real green plant in my yard and real water drops.

This photo was shot during the Tuscany May 2017 photo workshop. There is a new workshop in May 2018. Please find the details here www.hanskrusephotography.com/Hans-Kruse-Photo-Workshops/T...

Notice: the sonic numa numa project has been canceled.... ive lost all intrest in it sence a friend died.... i am sorry for anyones hopes i got up
It's like a summer dream, isn't it.
I think I could stay here for hours, it's so quiet and peaceful.
In summertime the field is full with nice summer flowers.
I always go bananas when I come here at that time.
Shooting and shooting and enjoying the moment of joy for my soul and my eyes.
Aiko had to chill down a bit today, it's 25C and he was hot.
It's always nice when he wants to chilla bit, then I can go on shooting without having a leash that destroys my photos all the time.....
What a lovely walk.
This was the BA 777 which crash landed just short of runway 27L at Heathrow on January 17 2008, operating BAW38 from Beijing.
Seen here approaching the same runway back in December 2003. Photo uploaded on January 17 2025 - exactly 17 years after the accident.
This day-flying moth (Nannobotys commortalis) is not much larger than a rice grain, and almost invisible when roosting on sand. But as with a lot of cryptic species, up close its pattern and coloration are anything but drab. I've found several of these in the Mojave Desert this spring.
I think this was worth getting up early for and meeting lovely Flickr Friends to go for a walk in the Dandenong Botanic Gardens. The Gardens are up in the Mountains and the fog was heavy on the way up. It was still hanging quite low throughout the morning, adding a beautiful layer hiding in and around our magnificent gumtrees. I quite liked the contrast here with the Hydrangea's from the gardens and our tall, native Eucalypts in the background.

Something different. No bokeh today (sometimes I've got to do it). I had to stand in this spot for a while to get the path with no people on (there are some people in the distance though), but every time I tried to get a shot, someone would walk/cycle/skateboard into my shot. Now, if I trying for bokeh people, that would be fine, but instead, I probably looked like I was lost or something just standing there. :)
Happy Thursday! The weekend is in sight! I've looking forward to some quality time with my camera. I haven't picked it up for several weeks, and with the days getting really short, it's hard to find time or the light to get anything worth it. I always seem to be using the same lens recently, which is fine, but I do think I need to take some other lenses out for a spin this weekend. Maybe The Beast (macro lens)... or I might try and see if the garden birds co-operate with my big zoom lenses. We'll see... :)
