Garden Liles 2..
There is something so visually pleasing about a lily, it is the mixture of complimentary colours that draw you in. the contrast of yellow and red. I am sure this is as intoxicating to humans as it is to bees and other pollen gatherers.
I am sure there is a solid science behind the reasoning for the many varied colours of lilies; but suffice to say they make my garden look amazing while they are in bloom and i thank God for eyes to see them with.

This is somewhere between Gillette and Rawlins Wyoming, windy as I traversed from I-90 to I-80, I believe this was south of Casper on WY 220. I've never driven this route before, so a bit of a new adventure that I'll avoid in winter. The load I was hauling was pretty heavy, GVW (gross vehicle weight) just under 80, 000 lbs so the wind wasn't too much of a problem. The strange thing is the disorientating effect the snow had as it moved across the road, it visually felt like I wasn't moving, an optical illusion, I had to look into the distance to avoid the uncomfortable feeling it created. I've run across this at night and it's even worse.

Open star cluster NGC 6939 (bottom center) is visually located close to the star Eta Cephei inside our galaxy, but in reality it lies more than 4,000 light-years away from us (this value is a bit uncertain). Its apparent magnitude is 7.8, meaning it can only be seen with binoculars or with a telescope.
By pure coincidence, less than one degree away lies the face-on galaxy NGC 6946 (center of image), an entirely separate galactic system outside our own Milky Way, at an estimated distance of about 25 million light-years (according to recent measurements). Because many supernova explosions were recorded at the last 100 years in this galaxy, it got the nickname of "Fireworks galaxy".
Both objects were discovered by William Herschel in 1798.
Thanks to everyone and clear skies!

Metal railings that visually create a sense of flow…
Observing the dense railings from the outside seems to be safe and sturdy. Standing in the building, so many iron railings, the vision should be very different. You know…XD
Many buildings in Taiwan,
Must rely on metal railings,
Let the residents feel safe.
金屬的欄桿，在視覺上產生流動感…
從外面觀察密集的欄杆，似乎是安全堅固。站在建築物裡面，這麼多鐵欄杆，視覺應該很不一樣。你知道的…XD
台灣許多建築物，
必須依賴金屬欄杆，
讓住戶得到安全感。

This was yet another barn I had seen which looked tempting from the roadside but had been dis-regarded in favor of some other locations.
After our discovery of Hansel and Gretel’s decrepit old house of cake and candy hidden in the woods (see: www.flickr.com/photos/jaydaley/15491111432/) we swung by this barn for a better look and my mind was made up.
That afternoon I returned for some softer light. The location was good and the composition worked but it was difficult to shoot because the road was lower than the foreground. Ready to jump the fence I realized that my solution was simple. Living the North American ideal I was behind the wheel of a Chevy Silverado truck with a large open back. I had a very convenient and elevated tripod platform under my right foot.
This barn was located on a small road called Kings Road, just outside of Petewawa. I parked my truck to the side of the road, set up my tripod and chose a longer focal length than my usual 50mm to bring in the scene and condense the foreground with the background.
The colours in this scene were actually so vibrant that they needed some degree of desaturation to make them visually acceptable and balanced with the foreground and barn.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Canada is an amazing country! From the Rockies in the west (which I cannot wait to get back to soon) to the lighthouses and coastal scenery to the east, the baron polar regions to the north and everything in between. This is a country of unbelievable variety and one I truly love spending time in.
Having only had a couple of days available to get out with the camera I was fortunate to be in such a densely photogenic location with incredible fall colours available at every turn.
I just wish I had more time.
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!

And what a view. No matter the time of day, a truly stunning experience. Visually overwhelming and almost unreal in its sublime beauty to wake up and see this vista.
Gomphrena globosa, commonly known as globe amaranth, Ping Pong Lavender, bachelor's button, makhmali, and vadamalli, is an edible plant from the family Amaranthaceae. The round-shaped flower inflorescences are a visually dominant feature and cultivars have been propagated to exhibit shades of magenta, purple, red, orange, white, pink, and lilac. Within the flowerheads, the true flowers are small and inconspicuous. G. globosa is native to Central America including regions of Brazil, Panama, and Guatemala, but is now grown globally. As a tropical annual plant, G. globosa blooms continuously throughout summer and early fall. It is very heat tolerant and fairly drought resistant, but grows best in full sun and regular moisture. The plant fixes carbon through the C4 pathway. At maturity, the flowerheads are approximately 4 cm long and the plant grows up to 60cm in height. G. globosa is an outcrossing species that is pollinated by butterflies, bees, and other insects. Floral volatiles likely play a significant role in the reproductive success of the plant by promoting the attraction of pollinators. 20616
Talking about the Pentacon 3.5/30 vintage lens. It may be half a century old, but optically it is a true 'generalist'. You can use it for any situation as long as the light is good. I prefer this lens to be wide open, as here. But that is a personal choice.
Both visually and audibly, the action of a swan rising from the water and stretching out those 2m wings is a sight to behold.

For some reason I just absolutely love the pictures of my flowerbed this time of year especially after the snow added just a touch of winter to the mix. I don't know if it is the textures or the colors or what, I just really love the way they look together!
Have a great Tuesday everyone!
Please be sure to view large if you have the time because it is truly better in large:

The most visually striking building in the 200 block of E. Front St. is this Victorian Romanesque-style structure designed by Bloomington architect George Miller and completed in 1886. For seventy years the building was the home of the Higgins, Jung and Kleinau Monument Co.
Designed by Bloomington architect George H. Miller in Victorian Romanesque-style, the building was constructed for Civil War veteran Hamer J. Higgins. The name "H. J. Higgins & Co. Marble Works" is clearly visible above the center bay of second-story windows. The building's appearance attests to the stone curlers skill and medium with dealing detailing Bedford Limestone, Indiana Marble, and St. Cloud Granite. Miller orchestrated these materials taking full advantage of the craftsmen's talent.
After monument and headstone production came to an end in 1956, the next long-term tenant was Nybakke Vacuum who had offices in the building from 1960 until 1992. That same year, the building was restored by Mike Temple to include apartments on the second floor. Presently Pars Rug Warehouse occupies on the first floor, with apartments on the upper floors.
The Higgins, Jung and Kleinau Monument Co. Building is contributing architectural property in the Bloomington Central Business District listed in 1985 in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The district includes roughly twelve square blocks of the city and encompasses 140 buildings, 118 of which are contributing buildings to the district's historic character.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.
visually speaks of the thunders we experience up here in our highlands: a vast inland plateau averaged at 1,200m above sea level. the mountainous relief seen here is what they term a gold slag dump, 'waste piles left over from the smelting and refining process of gold ore' - my friend now living in England, Gregory, says he misses our loud storms here, that he never finds them there.
Britannia needs no bulwarks,
No towers along the steep;
Her march is o'er the mountain waves,
Her home is on the deep.
With thunders from her native oak
She quells the floods below--
As they roar on the shore,
When the stormy winds do blow;

Sunsets are visually pleasing with their blend of warm and vibrant colors that emerge as the sun dips below the horizon.
A source of inspiration and spiritual insight for people around the world. These daily events offer more than just visual beauty; they provide a gateway to deeper understanding and connection.
Passionate photographers, artists, poets, and philosophers have long been inspired by the hues of a sunset, capturing its essence in their works.

Visually (in terms of shape, size, and color) one of my favorite vegetables. Those pictured are of the honeynut variety.
Visually she has strong traits of the Italian, her mix of Carniolan would be a darker honey bee. Some of her sisters show the Carniolan traits. She has a different personality, the Italian Queen is graceful and confident. This hybrid queen is a runner, maybe she will be more confident as time goes by. R.O. premium stock bred. This is the time I'm supposed to leave her alone and let her make brood. They must have let her out of her queen cage quickly. With 60% colony loss worldwide this year, this is a God send.
Since it's supposed to be very hot today, I'll at least cool things off visually.
And so I'll take you again to the Erawan Waterfall in Thailand.
A bit of effort is still necessary to get to this wonderfully beautiful place. After all, as you may remember, this is Stage Three.
But after about 30 minutes of sweating we arrived here. In a place that, at least for me, seems truly paradisiacal.
We can sit in the shade of the forest and listen to the sound of the waterfall, accompanied by the songs of many exotic birds, or take off our shoes and wade through the shallow water and let small silver-gray fish care for our feet. But be careful, the rocks are quite slippery in some places. And I don't want anyone to hurt themselves.
Or, if that's not enough to cool you down, just dive into the lagoon right in front of the waterfall. Because here, at almost 2 meters, the water is deep enough to completely submerge.
Yes, that's really bearable, isn't it?
Da es heute sehr heiß werden soll, sorge ich wenigstens optisch für etwas Abkühlung.
Und so nehme ich Euch noch einmal mit zum Erawan Wasserfall nach Thailand.
Ein bisschen Anstrengung ist noch nötig, um bis zu diesem traumhaft schönen Ort zu kommen. Schließlich ist das, vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch noch, die Stufe Drei.
Doch nach etwa 30 Minuten Schwitzen sind wir dann hier angekommen. An einem, zumindest für mich, wahrlich paradiesisch wirkenden Ort.
Wir können im Schatten des Waldes sitzen und dem Rauschen des Wasserfalls lauschen, welches vom Gesang vieler exotischer Vögel untermalt ist, oder die Schuhe ausziehen und durch das flache Wasser waten und uns von kleinen silbergrauen Fischen die Füße pflegen lassen. Doch vorsicht, die Felsen sind an einigen Stellen ziemlich rutschig. Und ich will ja nicht, dass sich jemand weh tut.
Oder, wenn das als Abkühlung alles noch nicht reicht, dann taucht doch einfach in die Lagune direkt vor dem Wasserfall ein. Denn hier ist mit nahezu 2 Metern das Wasser tief genug um komplett unter zu tauchen.
Ja, so lässt es sich echt aushalten oder ?

Visually it matches with Japanese Beetle, but clicked in Bangalore, India. Indian Beetles look little different. So I am not sure about the exact name.
Minimalist image of a tree and a hedgerow above a snow covered farm field in Shropshire, England. How can an image, distilled down to a few elements, be visually pleasing? I think it’s because the world is so busy we rarely have the opportunity to enjoy the stillness of simplicity.

Isopogon is a genus of around 35 species, only occurring here in Australia, found in the southern half of the continent in temperate regions.
Western Australia contains most of the species in a natural habitat. Most are small to medium sized shrubs having flower clusters arranged in globular heads. The fruits are also globular in shape giving rise to the common name of 'drumsticks'.
The foliage is unique and visually interesting I think.

I could visually see the pinkish nitrogen fringe moving west to east. From Spaceweather.com "Pink is hard to make because it requires particles from the sun to penetrate unusually deep into Earth's atmosphere. Most auroras are green, a color that comes from electrons hitting oxygen atoms 100 km to 300 km above Earth's surface. Pink requires those electrons to burrow even deeper, below 100 km, where they can find molecular nitrogen. N2 produces the pink. This "nitrogen fringe" appears only during strong storms with extra-penetrating particles from space."

I shot this on my last Trip to Tralala's Dinner, i never come away without my texture junkie fix.
In my face...
Two visually identical species have been introduced into the north-west Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Although identification information is given below, this was derived for specimens from the native range. Lionfishes in the invaded range may differ significantly from native range specimens. At this time, positive identification can only be achieved through genetic analysis.
Pterois volitans Red Lionfish
The Red Lionfish has greatly elongated dorsal-fin spines. The membranes of all fins are often spotted. The body is white or cream coloured red to reddish-brown vertical stripes. The vertical stripes alternate from wide to very thin (with the thin stripes being more numerous) and sometimes merge along the flank to form a V-shape.
Pterois miles Devil Firefish
A closely-related species, the Devil Firefish (Pterois miles), is similar to the Red Lionfish. The Devil Firefish is found primarily in Indian Ocean and Red Sea (as opposed to the Red Lionfish, which is predominantly a Pacific species); however, its range extends to Sumatra where the two species co-occur. Although it appears very similar to the Red Lionfish, the Devil Firefish has fewer dorsal- and anal-fin rays. The Devil Firefish generally has 10 dorsal-fin rays and 6 anal-fin rays; the Red Lionfish usually has 11 dorsal-fin rays and 7 anal-fin rays. (USGS.gov)

While standing out along the edge of a cliff with a bunch of other puffins, this individual stood out visually for obvious reasons, and attracted a bunch of attention.
Some of us speculated that it was a young puffin that hadn't completed the change over to full breeding plumage and colour. But that might have been only be part of the story.
In talking to a longtime puffin photographer and documenter at a local coffee shop the next day, I was given an alternate explanation. Judging by beak wear marks, he believed this may be the same individual that was seen a few times over a few years, and the plumage and beak colour has been the same each year.
He had previously contacted a Scottish puffin expert, who wrote a book on the puffin, who believed it was a very mature female that was lacking some of the hormones that allowed it to develop the characteristic bright breeding colours on the legs and beak, the white facial plumage, full gape rosette (the orange at the base of the beak), and decorative orange and grey skin around the eye.
So, if you see a puffin out on the ocean in the winter, it would look a lot like this individual.

The visually spectacular red-crested cardinal is hard to miss. Despite the resemblance and common name, the red-crested cardinal is a tanager and not taxonomically classified as a cardinal. Also called the Brazilian cardinal, this South American species was introduced to Hawaii in the 1930s and has become naturalized and abundant. This beauty is commonly observed in urban areas of Oahu, Kauai, and Maui.
In what is visually a mix up of heritage, former Canadian Pacific SD40-2F 9017 splits the old CP ABS signals at Tarratine, on the old CP Moosehead Sub... while adorned in Bangor & Aroostook colors. Apparently with their other engines down for various maladies, they were short of power enough to put the freshly repainted 9017 on the point of Job 1 today, instead of waiting for the PR shoot to send it west. The 9017 is leading (and fortunately hiding) LTEX GP35u 2535, and twenty-eight cars, as they head west for Canada.
Nothing is a bit visually spectacular about this photo but I want to share to my friends a little of history that I learned during my recent holiday in Korea.
The picture was taken at the Demilitarized Zone of the two Koreas. There is a conference building at the right side (not seen in pic) where meetings and negotiations are held between the two Koreas. Beyond the yellow line where the North Korea's terrain and territory can be seen, taking photographs are strictly prohibited as maybe part of the agreement. However, at the South's side, picture taking was never a problem. Quite bizarre to me as there was practically nothing to see at the North's side from that point, except for a wide almost frozen river, some dirt roads. vast farm lands and typical countryside terrains.
