An evening in Savona.

For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Herbs"

We grow a few herbs in our garden, and cut them for cooking, along with salad greens, or as fragrances with calming and healing properties. It's not the best time for them at the moment, as the chives have finished flowering, and the lavender is only just beginning to form tiny buds, but I cut a little of both ;o)

This is a further panorama taken in spring with Murnauer Moos. The dominating mountain group is Estergebirge, at the right side we can see Ettaler Manndl and Wetterstein far behind.

I merged 2 hand held shots taken with the 50 mm ens.

I live close to a small river and often walk along the towpath. Regardless of the weather, almost always I find great subjects to photograph.

This was taken along one of my favourite stretches early one November morning about five years ago.

I came across it a few days ago when I was looking for some pictures taken locally to hang in the newly decorated bedroom (yes folks, it's finally finished!!!). I played around with it and added a texture and think the result is quite pleasing.

But now I can't make up my mind if I prefer the textured one or the untextured version shown below.

So you decide for me! (Though I must add that, as always, the Artistic Director will be the final judge!!!)

Halmstad streettheatrefestival....so much fun!

Niagara River @ Sir Adam Beck (Queenston-Lewiston Bridge)

My musical suggestion is: 'River Blue' - Oh Suzanna.

*Note: all textures my own, unless specifically credited.

The garden is full of purple lavender coming into bloom. And the small wild bees are loving it! So I didn't want to take too much.

But together with the white potentilla growing beside it, the colours, the sounds and the fragrance of summer is here!

And the temari ball just seems to echo the summer feel too 😊

Shot with the Canon 70D and a Helios 44-2 lens, giving a smooth and silky bokeh background.

HBW! 😊

I just went to a series of older shots and found some that could serve well for merging a panorama from a beautiful evening with crazy light at Rifugio Casati. This was made from 3 single hand held shots taken with the Leica M9 and the 2/50 Zeiss Planar.
