The Romans used redux as an epithet for the Goddess Fortuna with its "bringing back" meaning; Fortuna Redux was "one who brings another safely home."

This area in the wetlands used to be a nice green grassy area with manicured bushes with a functional tennis court . It is now a fire hazard with a completely unusable tennis court filled with trash.

Foto scattata al margine di una di quelle splendide pinete marittime che si trovano appena dietro le spiagge. Sono particolarmente soddisfatta dell'atmosfera che sono riuscita a catturare.
Ricomincio con le foto scure?XD

I used to see Reminisce's work everywhere in SF in the early 90's and she had a big influence on getting me into graffiti along with the work of TWIST.

My beautiful roses, that--over time, despite the best of care and food and medicine and antifungals--succumbed to various diseases mostly brought on by the vicious heat and humidity they had to endure.
Sweet memories of their beauty in their prime.

Turquoise is used to describe things that are of a light greenish-blue colour. ... a clear turquoise sea.
Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses.

I remember that marvellous sunset on Koh Tao, an island north of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. I had walked into the sea to capture the scenery photographically and was knee-deep in the water until I felt something like a sting or bite in my lower right leg. All I remember is that I hit it and immediately left the water. On the beach I then saw about 20 small skin lesions like punctures from a biopsy with a diameter of about 1 mm and the leg was bleeding quite profusely. Jellyfish alarm! Fortunately, we hadn't been far from our little hotel and I got vinegar for the wound there straight away. You actually use this to loosen a stuck jellyfish, but it didn't do any harm either. Unfortunately, I didn't have my emergency allergy kit for such cases (antihistamine, cortisone and an adrenaline pen) with me, but had it in my hotel room...;) That could have ended badly. I was really glad I hadn't gone swimming in the sea (I never do it after sunset). In Thailand, there are always deaths from large-scale contact with devil jellyfish. In a situation like that, you actually are shocked at first.
Yes, when you travel a lot, the strangest things happen to you. Once a snake flew towards us at the waterfall, that wasn't so funny either. But the number one story so far was when we were caught by a current in the sea. Horror stories, luckily we survived.
Ich erinnere mich an den wunderbaren Sonnenuntergang auf Koh Tao, einer Insel nördlich von Koh Samui und Koh Phangan. Ich war ins Meer gelaufen, um die Szenery fotografisch einzufangen und war knietief im Wasser, bis ich so etwas wie einen Stich oder Biss im rechten Unterschenkel spürte. Ich weiß nur noch, dass ich danach schlug und sofort das Wasser verließ. Am Strand sah ich dann ca. 20 kleine Hautläsionen wie Stanzungen bei einer Biopsie im Durchmesser von ca. 1 mm und das Bein blutete ganz ordentlich. Quallen-Alarm! Zum Glück waren wir nicht weit von unserem kleinen Hotel entfernt gewesen und ich bekam dort gleich Essig für die Wunde. Man nimmt diesen eigentlich, um eine festsitzende Qualle zu lösen, aber geschadet hat es auch nicht. Mein Notfall Allergie-Set für solche Fälle (Antihistaminikum, Kortison und einen Adrenalin-Pen) hatte ich dummerweise nicht dabei, sondern im Hotelzimmer. Das hätte böse enden können. Ich war heilfroh, dass ich nicht zum Schwimmen im Meer war (Ich gehe grundsätzlich nie ins Meer nach Sonnenuntergang). In Thailand gibt es immer wieder Todesfälle bei großflächigem Kontakt mit Teufelsquallen. In so einer Situation ist man natürlich erst einmal geschockt.
Ja, wenn man viel reist passieren einem die eigentümlichsten Sachen. Einmal flog uns eine Schlange am Wasserfall entgegen, das war auch nicht so lustig. Auf Platz 1 stand aber bislang, als wir einmal im Meer am Chaweng Beach von einer Strömung erfasst wurden. Schauergeschichten, zum Glück alles überlebt.
Thanks for your visit, danke für Euren Besuch!
There used to be a small town here named Juniper.

En la vertiente norte del Parque Natural de la Sierra y Cañones de Guara se encuentran los valles de Belsué y Nocito, cuajados de pueblos pequeños, algunos deshabitados, en los que el tiempo parece haberse detenido.
Sus edificaciones y el estilo de vida mantienen la más pura tradición de los pueblos del interior de la comarca. Por cabañeras, antaño el único medio de comunicación con el Pirineo y el llano, se puede acceder a diversas pardinas, hoy casi en desuso. Desde el Santuario de San Úrbez, lugar de romería en busca de la ansiada lluvia, un sendero de montaña desciende hasta el núcleo urbano de Nocito y evoca los pasos de los niños que años atrás recorrían ese mismo camino para acudir a la escuela. Nocito es un buen ejemplo de conservación de la arquitectura popular. Los dinteles decorados, blasones familiares, chimeneas y espantabrujas nos trasladan a un pasado de vida aislada, dura y austera.

Above the grand staircase at Drottningholm.
Drottningholm palace is the home of the king and queen of Sweden - no, they do not actually live in the big palace in the middle of Stockholm, but in this much cosier creation just outside of Stockholm (in the small village of Drottningholm - which was actually built to house servants for the palace).
The name literally means the Queen's islet, and is older than the building itself. It used to refer to a palace built in 1580 for the queen Katarina Jagellonica - but that place burned down in 1661, and the current house is the one that was built to replace it. It was on order from the queen Hedwig Eleonora - at the time queen dowager but also regent for her son Karl (Charles) XI that was underage when his father (Karl X) died. The palace was designed by one of Sweden's most well known architects: Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, and after his death the work was continued on by his (equally famous) son Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. The queen used it as a summer residence, and as a place for hunting. The palace continued to be in fashion throughout the 18th century, and got a partly rococo interior during the time of queen Lovisa Ulrika.
But the place fell out of fashion with the new Bernadotte dynasty in the early 19th century, being to closely connected with the earlier regime. The last new add-ons to the place was electricity and modern plumbing at the beginning of the 20th century - after that the focus has been on conservation and preservation.
The royal family has lived there since 1981 (though the kids have moved out by now).

I read somewhere that you can make a telescope using the lens found in a photocopy machine (with pretty amazing results). Of course, my next thought was could I make a macro lens out of it?
The other picture shows the unassembled lens and what a beast it is! The whole thing must weigh at least 3 kg! The lens you see me holding in this picture is almost 1 kg and only one component of the whole thing.
After some trial and error, taking things apart and putting it back together, I managed to get a 'working' macro/telephoto lens. A very different set up to my usual DIY lenses and it's going to be an exciting challenge perfecting this one. The lens you see in the picture comprises of 4 lenses in total, 1 flat, 1 concave and 2 convex.
Putting the lens directly in front of my phone camera produces only ok results, nothing that blew my mind or was any different than the lenses I already have. It did provide with greater depth of field than the other lenses I have made, which is a bonus, but strapping this lens to my phone will be pretty useless and counterproductive as it weighs so much. I still had to be around 2-5 cm close to the subject to produce usable results.
However, when I held the lens 5-10 cm away from the phone camera something unexpected happened. In this picture, the lens was around 15-20cm away from the dragonfly and 10cm from my phone. I manually focused onto the lens and it produced the result you see in this picture.
My guess at this moment is Ill need to make some type of tubing/casing to hold the different lenses together after deconstructing it, as it seems to produce the best result when the lens is a certain distance from my phone. Of course with my phone, the sensor has a fixed aperture of f1.8 which makes everything that bit more complex. And then theres the issue of mounting the thing!
If you have any ideas please feel free to share :). Hopefully the end product will be a decent macro/telephoto lens which allows me to be 15-30cm away from the subject rather than 1-5cm (which is what im getting from the current lenses I have).

Must confess Halloween is my most dreaded holiday.
The hype is impossible to ignore . . . and the fact this particular event has become as celebrated as Christmas is a bit disturbing to me. None-the-less, it's everywhere . . . and we do enjoy the other parts of this indoor/outdoor used book park!
For Window Wednesday, this works!
First used normal oil painting effect at 70%. Had planned to crop, but really enjoyed the surrounding foliage so decided against it. Finished by enclosing in the film strip 6 frame, which also darkened some of the photo corners. Located in my neighbor K’s rose garden.
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!
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...
I used Topaz Detail and Topaz Simplify to create this.

Thanks for taking a look.
The Sparrowhawk uses its long tail to manoeuvre with speed and great agility through the forest and branches. The Ravens issued a warning call when it caught a glimpse of it and all the little birds cowered in the trees. It moves so fast it takes its prey by surprise and the poor Photographer too as it flies like a ghost through the forest, its burning yellow eyes fixated on their prey. A very skilled hunter.
I could use some back then, right now
