Hi guys and gals!
I'm super excited to let you all know that today, after 2 months of tweaking and testing, I've finally released my Presets package for Lightroom!
I invite you all to download and try it out, and I hope that it'll save you plenty of time during your post processing journey.
In this image I used the Shadow Dancer Lightroom Preset to create the colours that you see there. I couldn't think of a more suitable image to formally release with this one other than a nifty hot air balloon floating into the sky.
Anyway let us know how you go with the use of those presets and as always your valuable feedback is important to me.
Peace to you all, stay hip and stay awesome!

Kåkbrinken is the name of this small street in Stockholm Old Town (Gamla stan). The name is first attested in 1477. 'Brink' is not a word really used today, but mostly survives in names. It means a short slope. 'Kåk' is used today, it is slang for 'house' - and Kåken ('the kåk') actually means prison. But that was not what it meant back in the 15th century, then it meant pillory. This street was named after the pillory found on the square at one end of this street. But it is safe to say that most Swedes today would not know that is the case! (I myself, and I've studied history, found out when I read up on the name.)
Using the freshest seafood from the loch of the same name (the longest sea loch in Scotland), Loch Fyne restaurants serve a variety of shellfish and smoked fish - all of which are complimented by an extensive wine list. Non-seafood dishes are also available
I can recommend Loch Fyne Kipper's for me they are the best you will have.

Song: Mercy, Mercy, Me (The Ecology)
Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh Jesus, yeah, mercy, mercy me, ah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh
Hey, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, ooh, woo

Please, don't fave and run, you will get yourself blocked.
I always feel compelled to rescue on or two of these when the opportunity arises….Bettie than plastic perhaps, but still mad!
I use it almost every day. Adhesive tape to fix things that have come loose or should be held together. Very often I have already injured myself on this sharp edge. Luckily for this shot, I did not need to tear down anything, just provide the right light.
Fast jeden Tag benutze ich es. Klebeband, um Dinge zu befestigen, die sich gelöst haben oder zusammen gehalten werden sollen. Sehr oft habe ich mich an dieser scharfen Kante schon verletzt. Für diese Aufnahme brauchte ich zum Glück nichts abzureißen, sondern nur für das richtige Licht sorgen.

I have long had this creature on my Bucket List of shots I wanted to capture. My husband took a trip to YNP with a friend and was able to spot a badger burrow. I was so envious when he came home with a few shots. On one outing, I saw a badger moving through the weeds with the tail showing, but never did I get the full view. Finally in 2021 I found my first Badger family.
The location was in YNP near Lamar Valley. I spent many hours watching for some action. Mom, (the sow) often peeked out of the burrow (setts) to check out the photographers. The American Badger is a nocturnal hunter. They are fossorial carnivores, as they catch a large portion of food when they tunnel after rodents with great speed. This badger was a solitary, with only one home. Mom had three cubs (kits), but on the day of filming, a coyote had capture one baby. The next day, another cub disappeared. Mom was very attentive, and would pull the badger out for daily grooming. I think she actually felt safer with the photographer watching her home. When Mom did leave the burrow, I was shocked to see her long body (which can be 23-30 inches long and can weigh 14-19 lbs. for females and the bore can weigh more). I never saw the male.
They have powerful front claws and can run 16-19 mph for a short distance. They eat coyotes and other small mammals, with added protein from worms and bugs. The grizzled black-brown and white pelts are used for shaving brushes and paint brushes. The America Indian along with other groups often ate the meat from the badger.
The first house was build in the thirteenth century as a hunting lodge used by the counts and dukes of Gelre. The house was named 'Pauwenburcht' (Peacock Castle) because of the white peacocks they kept there. The dukes of Gelre used to wear the feathers on their helmets.
The present house was build in 1905 on the foundations of a house dating from the seventeenth century.
Staverden Castle is build on the foundations of a seventeenth century house.
At the backside of the house lies a small island in a pond. On the the island you can find the tomb of Eleonora. This Eleonora lived at Wildenborgh Castle, one of the eight castles of Vorden. She had a lover, who went on a crusade in the Holy Land. When he was away, another man wanted to gain her by force. When her lover returned home, he was killed by his rival. Eleonora wanted to escape this evil man and fled to Staverden, where a mighty knight lived, who gave her protection. She stayed there for the rest of her unhappy life, always dressed in black.
After her death she was buried on the island in the pond. On moonlit nights, the black lady is seen there, walking to and fro on the island, wringing her hands and lamenting about her lost love.

Una foto che per me ha un valore speciale se non fosse altro per quei piedini che raccontano giá molto da soli :)
Immaginatevi una sala abbastanza grande illuminata da alcune finestre, ma la maggior parte dei monaci si trovano in una condizione di luce difficile. Sono seduti su piccole panche messe a ferro di cavallo.
Siamo nel tardo pomeriggio e i bambini si trovano tutti insieme, dopo le lezioni, per cantare le preghiere ad ALTA voce. Sono circa una trentina in un'etá compresa fra i 4 (!!!) e i 10-12 anni.
Ci sediamo in mezzo a loro per quasi un'ora e gli insegnanti ci offrono anche del thé e dei dolci tibetani.
Veniamo avvolti da una cantilena potente e in qualche maniera ipnotizzante creata dalle loro voci cariche di un'energia incredibile con la quale continuano imperterriti a recitare le preghiere per tutto il tempo della nostra permanenza.
Ho fatto molti scatti in questa occasione e col tempo ve li mosteró :)
I use "Big Head" for more fun.
For someone, orange groves - a common occurrence.
But for me it is something special.
In my country, oranges are not grow, and these trees are just amazing for me
Feel, like in a fairytale, and that's amazing

Taken in the Dahlia garden, near “De Piepermolen” te Rekken.
Maar hoe is dahliatuin in Rekken ontstaan?
In 2010 tijdens het 100-jarig bestaan van de Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest was er voor het eerst een dahliatuin bij de Piepermolen in Rekken. Een groep vrijwilligers heeft toen vanwege het 100-jarig jubileum van Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest een dahliatuin aangelegd met daarin 100 soorten dahlia’s. Unieke soorten die niet verwerkt worden op de (Rekkense) corsowagens. De belangstelling voor de dahliatuin was overweldigend. Een aantal vrijwilligers heeft daarom de koppen weer bij elkaar gestoken om enkele jaren later wederom een dahliatuin te kunnen realiseren. Zo werd er in 2014 voor de tweede keer een dahliatuin aangelegd bij de Piepermolen. Deze dahliatuin was met zijn 160 soorten nog groter dan de die in 2010. Ook nu weer was de dahliatuin aangekleed met diverse accessoires. De belangstelling bij de opening was groot en ook in weken, maanden daarna zijn er vele mensen geweest die een bezoek hebben gebracht aan de dahliatuin. De reacties waren ook nu weer zeer positief, dat zorgde ervoor dat de vrijwilligers toen al besloten dat de dahliatuin ook in de jaren daarna een vervolg zou gaan krijgen. En nu is dat moment aangebroken. De vrijwilligers zijn alweer bezig met de voorbereidingen voor de dahliatuin 2022. Dit jaar zullen er weer vele soorten dahlia’s te bewonderen zijn.
De vrijwilligers zijn ruim een half jaar druk bezig met de aanleg maar vooral met het onderhouden van de dahliatuin, zij houden zich bezig met o.a. het poten van de dahlia’s, het schoffelen, het plukken van de (slechte) bloemen en aan het einde van het seizoen, het uithalen van de knollen. Dit alles is zeer arbeidsintensief, de vrijwilligers zijn hier zeker één middag in de week mee bezig.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But how did the dahlia garden in Rekken come about?
In 2010, during the centenary celebrations of the Rekken Folk Festival Association (*Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest*), a dahlia garden was created for the first time at the Piepermolen in Rekken. To mark the association's 100th anniversary, a group of volunteers planted a garden featuring 100 varieties of dahlias—unique types not typically used on the local parade floats. Public interest in the dahlia garden was overwhelming. Consequently, a number of volunteers joined forces again to create another dahlia garden a few years later. Thus, in 2014, a second dahlia garden was established at the Piepermolen. With 160 varieties, this garden was even larger than the one from 2010. Once again, the garden was enhanced with various decorative elements. There was great interest at the opening, and many people visited the garden in the weeks and months that followed. The response was extremely positive, prompting the volunteers to decide right then that the dahlia garden would continue in future years. Now, that time has come again; the volunteers are already busy preparing for the 2022 dahlia garden. This year, many varieties of dahlias will once again be on display.
The volunteers spend more than six months hard at work—not only establishing the garden but, more importantly, maintaining it. Their tasks include planting the dahlias, hoeing, removing spent or damaged blooms, and lifting the tubers at the end of the season. All of this is very labor-intensive; the volunteers certainly spend one afternoon a week on it.

I used 4 Wombo creations to bring this together. The top half and bottom half are 2 different images. The car and the tree beside it were 2 separate images. All was blended using Pixelmator Pro.
Prompts: Autumn trees, windy, swirling leaves, puddles, misty, cold, ultra realistic details
Style: The City
Input image was the same as used for "Autumn Rain"
Wishing all of you a great weekend!
