Swarovski used to make a lovely range of beads ... and I collected a few of each design I thought might photograph well. These are among my favourites. Called 'brilliants' they create all kinds of colours when the light hits them. These are tiny, about 8mm cubes.

I haven't used my drone very often this year, mainly because my other camera was more inviting, but maybe coming winter I will use my drone more often.
One of the nice things of a drone is that you can picture structures from height that you otherwise wouldn't see.
That is easy seeable with this picture of the "Ijsseleye".
The IJsseleye is an artificial island in the Ketellake (Ketelmeer, province of Flevoland, the Netherlands) used as a depository to store polluted silt. Most of the polluted silt was deposited in the Ketelmeer by the IJssel river between 1950 and 1990. Removal of silt soil from the Ketelmeer lake also aims to deepen the channel leading to the mouth of the IJssel to at least a depth of 3.5 m (11.5 ft), thus aiming to improve access to the river for navigation.
I used colorful wrapping paper for folding this fiery dragon, but couldn't decide which side to show. So now you see both sides ;-))

Macro Monday. Single Use
Part of my morning ritual is to make tea, iced tea to be specific.
I always feel bad about using the teabag once and then into the trash it goes. Occasionally I do try to use the teabag twice but I don't get the caffeine fix nearly as quick.

Two in the sea - Dos en el mar
Mar Mediterraneo
La etimología de este mar procede del latín Mar Medi Terraneum, cuyo significado es "mar en el medio de las tierras". La mayoría de los habitantes de sus costas han usado una denominación derivada de la latina. En idioma griego se llama Mesogeios Thalassa con el mismo significado que el nombre latino, en árabe se llama Al-Bahr al-Mutawāsit y en turco Ak Deniz ("mar blanco", por oposición al mar Negro, pues los turcos llaman "blanco" al Sur y "negro" al Norte).Para los egipcios era "el Gran Verde".
Mediterranean Sea
The etymology of the Mediterranean Sea comes from the Latin Medi Terraneum, which means "sea in the midst of the land." Most of the inhabitants of its shores have used a name derived from Latin. Greek language is called Thalassa Mesogeios with the same meaning as the Latin name in Arabic is called al-Bahr al-Mutawāsit and Turkish Deniz Ak ( "White Sea", as opposed to the Black Sea, as the Turks call it "white" South and "black" to the North). To the Egyptians was the "Great Green."

Orthoclase, a pink feldspar, gives the mountains their pink tint.

C'è un inquinamento luminoso ma mi è piaciuto il montaggio delle foto che feci al mare una notte che ricercavo le scie delle stelle.
Posto la foto che è il risultato del lavoro.
Mi piacciono le stelle in generale, non le voglio associare ad altro.
Il cielo è sempre stato un'attrattiva infinita., prima che esistesse la fotografia per me.
A proposito di fotografia, voglio tranquillizzare fata cam.
La tua foto mi piace tantissimo, io non sapevo come dirtelo, ti stavo scrivendo ieri, poi non ho spedito la mail, il perchè è che ero stato troppo specifico, non ne avevo la ragione... non c'entra la tua foto. "E' TUA" , delle tue foto sei tu a decidere il come. Tu sei brava davvero.
La tua foto è un bn di grande capacità, oltretutto, un racconto e un'emozione di ora e del passato che è stata di ognuno.
Il partire...
E' un'altra cosa...
Il rispetto si conquista a fatica, parole gentili non costano...
I giudizi ...I consigli...
Io sono un folletto del non consiglio, per cui ti abbraccio.
Aspetto le foto...
Di tutti!
Le foto le guardo, anche quelle senza cielo...A volte si vogliono esaltare stelle non materiali ed il cielo se ne va via...Foto senza stelle le guardo anche, con la pace verso il re del cielo : Il Creatore.

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
I need to find a silent place that I can call my own
Is it mine, Lord is it mine?
When everything's dark and nothing seems right,
there's nothing to win and there's no need to fight
I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land
But it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand
Is it mine, Lord is it mine?
When everything's dark and nothing seems right,
You don't have to win and there's no need to fight
If only I could find a way
To feel your sweetness through the day
The love that shines around me could be mine.
So give us an answer, won't you,
We know what we have to do,
There must be a thousand voices trying to get through.

Moonshiners
A dense, endless pine forest in 1950s rural America, far from highways and city lights. Deep in the shadows sits an old shack - grimy windows, cracked glass, a crooked flickering lantern by the door. Nearby, a moonshine still bubbles over an open pine log fire, copper pipes glowing orange, condensation dripping into mason jars on a makeshift wooden table. The handmade, decades patched setup is illegal but the only trade these men know. Two weathered old timers sit on wooden crates in the muddy clearing, smoking hand rolled cigarettes, sharing slow words and long silences. One has a thick gray beard, the other skin like old leather. They laugh quietly at memories - running moonshine on dark mountain roads, outrunning sheriffs, hiding barrels in barns - laughter tinged with tired sadness. Beside them sits a rusted, barely blue old Ford pickup: eaten bodywork, dented chrome grille, cracked headlight, rotted wooden bed rails. The bed holds rope, rusted tools, feed sacks, and mason jar crates. A shotgun hides under a plaid blanket in the cab. Dusk settles. Fireflies flicker at the tree line. Still smoke drifts through branches. Firelight casts dancing shadows. Rough, worn down, and real - survival built from calloused hands, old machines, and hard lived trust.

It used to be a pub. The Sun Inn offered everything the traveller needed including accommodation and a beer garden behind the building. These days, pubs are being converted into residential homes and developers make sure that the yard behind is turned into accommodation too, rental or other.

in their ability to fish. Now with few fish competition is evident and placement is different. They used to line the trees but now they are more spread out. Development is infringing on the river and combined with fewer fish I believe it is creating unease.

The use of negative space can have a powerful effect on an image and this is what I have tried to achieve here. I hope that you like it and I wish you all well and thank-you so much for your input and support. Have a great week-end my friends.
Taken last Friday using A7RM2 using the CZ jena pancolar. We knew there was a fog forecast and as I rarely get a foggy photo we drove to this lovely wood near Louth. Unfortunately for my dreams of mist we were stuck in traffic behind two seperate tractors because agricultural land around here is all ready to be harvested so we should have expected it. Of course drivers were naturally being careful too so i'm not complaining. We should have set off earlier that's all. There was some mist left which kept drenching me when I was beneath the trees but I enjoyed myself and so did our two dogs. Jonathan said he did but he is such a selfless person he would say that anyway... I didn't take much close up but instead stopped the lens down to mainly f/5.6 or f/8 but don't remember which this was. The info actually showed ISO 1000 because it was fairly dull but the sun was trying to break through…

She used to stop on that bench with the illusion
That behind her the sunset wasn't just a colored wall of orange-red sun
The tree next door with its autumn leaves
A magical touch of a children's book
The leaves fell silently on the bench
And on the ground creating a colorful carpet of light
There wasn't much traffic along that stretch of road
And that's exactly why he chose her
No passerby would have sat next to her,
no car would disturb his thoughts
but now she's not here and the tree and the bench wonder why
there will be no answers
there will be no other days
harmony is shaken by a shiver of wind
another trembling leaf has fallen
everything is silent now on that stretch of road...
having to use an old photo on my new laptop... the old laptop has had it 's time... sooc of course
all kind of difficulties and other habits to get used to
still a lot of pictures needing to be transferred
lucky I got a neighbour who 's a computer-expert,
a lot of work to be done but we already got this far
thinking I better need a new camera too!

How many times were you awe struck by towering, majestic mountains or dunes, and overwhelmed by their incredible vertical scale? Yet, when you return home and look at your images, they don't seem to convey the grandeur? In my article I explain and illustrate with examples how you can use your telephoto to convey a sense of that vertical scale. Please feel free to read the article at this link. I hope you enjoy!
This image: A sail boat emerges from the shadow of a towering cliff face as it makes its way through the outer limits of the awe inspiring O-Fjord in East Greenland's Scoresby Sund. I hope this image conveys the incredible scales of this wild place!
