An image taken when I was in New Mexico photographing an Indian Day School in Sanostee, near Ship Rock. It was a pretty breezy evening with red dust blowing. I turned around to get the wind out of my face, and this is the view I saw. That's Mitten Rock on the right and the road is Indian Service Rte 13 heading towards Arizona.

Rarely am I so confused about the situation when I was taking a picture.
One day I ran into the Łódź Photo Festival. There was a looped film projection in one of the side rooms. Two young people watched it. The scene looked compositionally ok (although it was very dark) so I photographed it. My frustration in the subject of the description comes from the transmission of the material, for me it reminded me of an endoscope inserted into a tube. Maybe I don't know much about art or maybe I'm just not in the target group of recipients of this film material (even for sure).
In dreams, I see shapes and colors like these and I hear music as the shapes and colors change. It seems perfect to imagine those feelings and sensations with fractals.

I had been 'playing' with this concept for a while in my head. I called it (instead of the Silence of the Lambs) the Silence of the Bird. When I had the final result, it came to me immediately: VISUAL SILENCE.
I don't often 'dive' into the digital 'magical' darkroom that photoshop can be, but for certain projects it is a great creative tool!
Here, in the case of visual silence, what is being absorbed is not sound but gaze.
If silence is the absence of noise, then this visual silence is defined as the gradual absence, the vanishing, of what surrounds it, where we burrow from the visible surface to the invisible core. Our focus on the image involves a diminution of the optic field:
in this sense, visual silence is like a poem, its power arising from its sheer vulnerability. The image cannot be penetrated even by the most powerful of gazes because it is already open, in full view... and yet the transparency of the image, one that does not attempt to hide anything, is still capable of mystery.
Visual silence arrests us because it is the interface between two realms of partial knowledge: between he who does not know he is being watched and those who do not know what they are watching.
Some images leave us speechless, we watch them in silent awe.
Ultimately the camera is merely an extension of the human eye, it only sees and cannot wholly know what it is seeing.
May PEACE be with you and thanx for everything, M, (*_*)

Well I’m sure it’s pretty obvious where this started from, not.
It’s another great photographic idea that flopped on implementation and subsequently to be repurposed for Sliders Sunday. Originally it was a picture of water boiling in the bottom of a pan, taken on a whim while on holiday.
Great idea. Pity about the steam clouding the image, lol.
The Topaz Glow filter, for me, is a bit like a banned substance I guess (and I have to guess ;) )...I have withdrawal problems if I don’t get a regular dose of it...
Glow needs two things to work well at this abstract end of its possible uses: some sort of linear structure to seed its collagen building algorithms and some interesting colour. The boiling water (so the idea went) was all interesting circles for the structure, but the question was how to add colour, zap, zing, pizazz and general psychedelia?
So I created a layer formed from two overlaid conical rainbow gradients and blended that with the bubbles using Soft Light. I then used a Mirror distortion filter with 6 mirrors to get the sixfold symmetry (I’ll link to the original bubbles and this interim stage - where you can just still make the bubbles out - in the first comment).
Then the real fun started. Into Topaz Glow starting with one of the Neon presets, and then sliding the sliders to taste…
Back into Affinity Photo for mangling with the hue, saturation, contrast, colour curves (LAB) and a bit of Clarity filter. And there you have it, well apart from a black frame and a blue internal shadow :)
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image (legally) :) Happy Sliders Sunday!!
Here is my first attempt at architecture. I admire people who can just take those photos that are perfectly aligned or even know how to edit them so they are straight.
Well I dont know either but I do know that to see all these shapes in one place at a time aligned with the light and shadow is utter magic.
Here is a special thank you to my friend who brought me there. And saw me freaking out at this sight (:
not sure what to say about this image......simply messing around yesterday with old photos and this is one of the things that happened.
This is one of my favourite locations and the subject for my project 'Duffus Castle through the seasons'

Duffus Castle was a motte-and-bailey castle in use from c.1140 to 1705. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland.
At the beginning of the 12th century Moray was ruled by Angus, grandson of Lulach Macgillecomgan, who had succeeded Macbeth as King of Scots in 1057. Angus rebelled in 1130 and King David I began to populate the province with nobles. Among them was Freskin, of Flemish background, who built the great earthwork and timber motte-and-bailey castle in c. 1140.
Freskin’s direct line ended in 1270 and the castle passed into the ownership of Sir Reginald le Chen. With his death in 1345, Duffus passed to his daughter Mariot who was married to Nicholas, son of the 4th Earl of Sutherland. The Sutherlands were also descended from Freskyn and remained in their possession until 1705 when the castle was abandoned.

Holstebro, Denmark – February 2024.
During most of 2024 Holstebro will be celebrating it's 750 year anniversary.
This is from the opening night.
I don't know what Marbled Hot Springs Rd. would be without the American Bitterns! While we were there the reeds hadn't had a chance to grow very tall so the Bitterns were pretty easy to spot. Raising their heads up generally in position with the vertical reeds I'm sure they are imagening they are hidden from sight...I didn't realize until this picture what an incredible 'visual perspective' they have of everything around them in this position!
In the 1800s aristocrats from Britain often used to go on a Grand Tour through Europe to complete their cultural education, often ending up in Italy with all the classical sculpture and art. Much of what they saw they purchased and sent back home to adorn their stately homes with evidence of their erudition.
One of the types of art that was particularly popular was the marble sampler table, which generally was a round table inlaid with a wide variety of different coloured marbles. These days you can often see them in the grand houses that are open to the public. To my mind they are not particularly artistic but they are interesting. I just love the different colours and textures in the stone samples. Sometimes you can find a variety of fossils too.
This is one such sampler table captured in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford in February. I liked the bright colours so I thought I would try a zoom burst ICM of the tabletop. The colours have been cooked somewhat to produce a colourful psychedelic display.
Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x :)

My favourite time of year is Fall because it is such a visual delight. The wonderful colors, the smell in the air and everything that goes with it. This area of Fish Creek shows a river gently winding through an area of colorful trees.
