I wasn't going to buy any more APS cameras but I saw a cool looking Nexia Q1 and I could not resist. I still have about 20 rolls of APS film, too bad I have had to start sending APS out since the local CVS can no longer process it. Kodak Advantix 200 film expired 2/2012.
This tree was at least 30ft tall, which is enormous for a Cherry Blossom tree. It's blossoms were a beautiful shade of pink(not normally a favorite of mine!)
This style of tree has always been my favorite to see bloom.
Location: Western Rhodopes

В околностите на гр. Пещера има няколко езера. Те не са чисти и привличат комари през топлите месеци.
There is a local shrine nearby built next to a huge tree. If you look closely you can see something that resembles cave speleothers or stalagmites. They are know as "tree tits" in the community. The word is that if you dont have any breasts to boast you can come and rub your hands together here in hope. The longest one is over a meter. Some say thats too big, I say give me bigger hands.
チャールズ・ワードが自転車で日本一周の旅へと出発したのは、2006年の春でした。彼は1年間の旅の間に、何千枚もの写真をとりました。この写真はその中の1つです。最初は有機農場でボランティアとして働きながら旅を続けていましたが、ある日、それをやめ、「きゅうちゃん」という名の折り紙の小鳥といっしょに、自分なりの平和活動を開始しました。
このチャーリーの冒険が、『チャーリーです地球人です』という一冊の本を生みました。彼は新たな世界を発見し、同時に、平和活動のために今やるべきことを明確にしました。
This photo is one of 1000s taken by Charles Ward as he cycled around Japan for a year (2006-2007). Half way though his trip he gave up working as a volunteer in organic farms to start his own peace movement with a little paper bird called Kyu Chan.
Follow Charlie in his adventure to change the world in his new book "Charlie desu, Chikyujin desu" and find out what he is doing now to promote peace.
I think banyan trees are good examples of how men should live in life. Such tiny fragile roots yet so many of these tiny roots fall down from all over the place to provide support for the huge tree. On a very emotional note i think its like this. Most of the time we get to be something big in life. Each of us is best and unbeatably good at one thing we do. Funny we tend to ignore the point of view of a smaller person in the same tracks as we are thereby resulting in big and small, you and me, better and bad sort of politics. I think if we can co-exist with each other, the small on the big and the big rewarding the small like the banyan tree things wont really be much complicated as it is today. Just a thought that flashed by when i saw this image, dump it if it sounds crazy, sometimes i do sound like that.

Made a quick trip to Ancaster last weekend. Found this rather large old tree. The trunk is very twisted, and the branches are very spread out. Lots of character there!
There's a Tree Hyrax hiding in the tree. Can you find it?
Hint: To the right of center, 3/4 up.
Fun Fact: They are the elephants closest living relative. They actually have little tusks.
(just north & outside of Serengeti National Park)
I first thought it was autumn coming, however ends up there is a beetle killing the trees. Kinda sad that I liked the colours!

Nikon D810 HDR Photos!
Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show !
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

Homer's Odyssey: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide. . . Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; --Homer's Odyssey translated by Samuel Butler
