My favoured past time is throwing boomerangs at the universe, and wait for the boomerangs to return...b.mikic
A sculpture that impresses with its movement and the size of the athlete’s body. It is opposite the Panathenaiko Stadium, and reaches 2 meters in height. The discus thrower is standing, with his hands extended raising the discus behind his head before throwing it. It was made by Konstantinos Dimitriadis in 1927.
"The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy."
Florence Scovel Shinn
Except that sometimes the thoughts, deeds and words can be wrongly interpreted and even completely disregarded.....b.mikic

Newlywed couples in Moscow are expected to kiss on a bridge on their wedding day. As part of this tradition, the couple must attach a padlock with their names and vows written on it, to a metal tree on the bridge, and throw the key in the river to symbolize faithfulness and enduring love.

A gate in the ancient Roman Aurelian walls, named after the church San Giovanni in Laterano, just a stone's throw away. So the wall is ancient, it was built 271-275 A.D. and named after the emperor Aurelian (Aurelianus). The gate is not the original from that time, the gate for this part of the wall is the Porta Asinaria that is right next to this one. But with all the traffic to the church the pope decided to have a new gate built in the 1570s, and the result is this one - inaugurated in 1574 (probably more practical but very much less imposing than the Asinaria one which is situated just beside it - and looks like this www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/50779414817/
"Heavy, bitter rain.
Saturday night.
The news bulletin of 9 sells my loneliness, my life that slips.
But I still exist, I am still here.
I take a breath and color, I fly in another orbit.
Throw red in the night, throw oil to the fire.
From what I have experienced, I ask for more.
Hot, old rust.
It's raining tonight
The news bulletin of 9 sells the land, that falls in ruins rejoices
But I still exist, I am still here.
I take a breath and color, I fly in another orbit.
Throw red in the night, throw oil to the fire.
From what I have experienced, I ask for more."

Forget Tolkin and all that waffle. I see them off their faces and dancing to this, one of the godfathers of techno:
This was a shot I had been longing to do when I was last down in Schierke, this is a stone's throw away from the apartment I was staying in. Unexpectedly it was a very unseasonably cold evening and I spent the majority of the LE pacing up and down. It was also a very clear night so that said I was happy for no heat distortion and the stars in all their glory could be seen perfectly.
LE star shots can be tricky in exposed areas, luckily there were a few street lamps and so I aimed for the furthest one to get an auto focus, then switched the lens back to manual before setting off the shutter, which in this case was for 20 minutes or there about.
If stuck for focus points in the dark, either use a powerful laser pointer, a torch which can be adjusted to a narrow band which you can aim at a tree or a relatively far away object or even better still, set up the camera to point in a general direction, take a run with the torch, switch it on and leave it on the ground, head back and get your focus aiming at the torch. Switch back to manual and you will have good sharp focus for your image.
If all above fails, use the LV display and zoom in on something light, manually then focus until the light source is smallest on the screen, that should just about do it but it's sometimes pure guess work. I've seen so many potentially great night time shots wrecked because of bad focus, there's quite a few little cheats to by this problem.
We're off from Monday, I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

Seasons slowly transform from one to the other right in front of our eyes..sometimes subtlety, others blatantly... finding gratitude in whatever form it arrives ...

Sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis, Gruidae) come together before their migration south to warmer regions for the winter. Here they are collected at the White River Marsh State Wildlife Area in the Town of Seneca west of Berlin, Green Lake County, Wisconsin.
Cranes are known for throwing debris in the air. Sometimes they do it if they have a mouth full or debris with their prey. Often times, however, they toss stuff into the air as part of their "dance" rituals with other cranes. The dances may be associated with courtship or aggression when another bird gets too close.

Another of my Simple pleasures is to raid the shredder and find interesting random strips of paper to shoot! A cross-cutter is useless ... but this simple one we use for magazines and the more complex coloured pages can produce some strips that are keepers... 😊

After heavy rain one of our hydro dams at Clyde on the Clutha river was spilling the extra water. I was lucky there was a break in the clouds for a spot light on the water.

One of the surface actions of the Humpback Whales. Whale watching in Brisbane's Moreton Bay. The whale is throwing itself on its back with the underside of the tail facing up to commence tail-slapping.
Though it may not look likely here, he made a sharp turn, staying out of the No Wake zone that was on this side of the sign.

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I′ve been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Forever in debt to your priceless advice
