I sprained my wrist and won't be able to develop film for a while. Meanwhile posting a round of old stuff.
What you see is Castle Rock (Lóndrangar) in Snæfellsness, Iceland. What is unseen is the wind causing the ice particles to hit the lens and sting my skin. I was pleased with how this photo turned out, but it brings back memories of my struggle to stay focused on the shot and to ignore the weather.

While attempting to take some images of my beautiful, flowery, flashy daisy's on a nice foggy morning I wasted a couple of images (hey kids remember film??) on the bamboo, lurking as always, above the flowers --- I've walked by it literally thousands of times and never really noticed the beauty of the bamboo until just now...
dreams drift away
across those distant hills
lost to the voices
of the wind in the wheat
who is there
to bear witness
'neath this big lonesome sky
who saw the unseen
and raised song
to the unsung
when the end
reveals itself
will any truly remember
that which has passed

I love to capture Infrared images. I do not shoot them enough. Here is an image in the Great Smokey Mountains on a cloudy, rainy day. Infrared sees the unseen light that is available, the light we can't see.
Thanks for stopping by
Masters at navigating, well seasoned ship handlers, experienced former ship captains mostly, on each and every travel, they pilot the ships safely, in and out of the port, into safety, out of harm's way! So here's one for you all unseen heroes. Salute and Godspeed sailors!
Just the sun trying to burn through the fog last week.
Flickr acting up again tonight refusing to let me comment or invite on some contacts. Hitting "Enter" in the comment box intermittently acts in the old way to move down a line but sometimes closes the comment box. I'm not going on Flickr tomorrow as a protest rather than posting a red image which generates more views.
“The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them. They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen.”

People often seek long-lasting and extraordinary pleasures — like unique trips or rare experiences. But in doing so, they tend to overlook the simple joys, like watching a sunset or sipping a quiet cup of tea. And yet, it’s in those small moments — the ones we never even considered — that true peace is often found.
There is no question that there is an unseen world. The problem is, how far is it from midtown and how late is it open . - Woody Allen

Really enjoyed this picturesque little island. The sky was gloomy and It wasn’t that busy when we went and lovely section for swimming and great landscape for pictures between the islands!
The Milky Way core from near Hawker, South Australia. Very dark skies in the area, once my eyes become accustomed to the dark I can easily see the Milky Way but to the eye I can't see anything like this clarity. One of the things that I love about Milky Way photography is how it enables me to see stuff I cant just look at, so I aim the camera and it is always interesting to see what it records. In daylight photography you are sometimes disappointed that the camera doesn't pick up what you are looking at. Here it is the opposite. This is a stack of 4 shots using a Tamron lens, stacking in Photoshop, processing in Lightroom. The image is with a daylight white balance to show the colour spectrum of the stars.
I captured this deadpan portrait of a stranger, her back to the beautiful sky, from the boardwalk of the popular United States' Ocean City beach resort. [Flickr Explore, October 30, 2023.]
