Rich View Terrace, Square Street, Tai Ping Shan
Los Angeles-based artist Lauren YS often paints in a bold and rebellious manner – and this one is no different. Titled ‘Mind Temple’, the mural drew inspiration from two main themes: her twin sister's experience living and working in Hong Kong and the importance of mental health. With the idea of creating a visually safe space in the neighbourhood, Lauren also researched into the Tai Ping Shan area to incorporate elements that would reflect the mural’s surroundings. The mural, in its entirety, was created with spray paint, utilising a calming colour palette of green, blue, and pinkish tones to evoke the scenery of dawn or sunset. A dragon design was added to the shorter side of the wall parallel to the stairs in order to enhance the mural's overall composition.

Wilson's indigobird (Vidua wilsoni) or the pale-winged indigobird, is a species of bird in the family Viduidae. It is found in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria, Senegal, South Sudan, and Togo.
A nest parasite that lays its eggs in the nests of Bar-breasted Firefinch. Breeding males are glossy purplish-black with a pale brownish panel in the wings, while females and non-breeding males are brown and streaky on the back and pale below, with a bold facial pattern. The bill is white and the legs pinkish. Found in a wide variety of open habitats including open woodland, thickets, savanna, cultivated areas, and scrub. Breeding males can be identified with care by their vocalizations and purple gloss. Non-breeding males and females cannot be separated visually from other indigobirds. Imitates the vocalizations of its host firefinches: a low “chip” call and an up-and-down twittering song.
An Potpurri (french) is a pot with dried plant material, increasing the room smell. This is the same, visually.

Visually, the sky meets the earth. Figuratively, something is likely to soon occur. Literally, leaving this tropical island north shore beach of calcareous limestone layered with volcanic tuff, the next landfall would be the Aleutian Islands about 2,400 miles distant. Don’t fall off!
The secrets of the cottage garden..It is an intimate, enclosed space and, although visually connected to the rest of Sissinghurst, with views of the Elizabethan tower and the Tudor front range, it feels secluded. Vita and Harold both had bedrooms in the cottage that sits sentinel overlooking the garden; Harold had an office in it, too...It includes tender exotics such as hedychiums, salvias and cannas. Vita restricted the colour range to variations on sunset hues of orange, red and yellow.

Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open. All I did was to visually translate the idea of a camera I had in my mind. I did not create this camera (being around for almost 20 years) or this lens (60 years). But I defined the lighting and determined the angle of view. And, since this is a close-up and a hand-held shot and in order to avoid camera shake, I set the aperture to F2 with a high ISO count leading to a fast shutter speed. A camera is essentially a box with a hole in it (filled with a lens, of course) through which light can enter. All we need to do is to catch the light in such a way that it makes us see.
Crocuses hold a special place in my heart, They are Early Bloomers: and among the first flowers to emerge in spring, often pushing through snow. This early appearance makes them a symbol of hope and renewal after winter's dormancy. Crocuses display a wide range of colours including purples, yellows, whites, and even striped variations. This diversity creates visually appealing displays.
Their goblet-shaped flowers and delicate petals add to their charm. Their bright colours and pollen attract early-season pollinators like bees, contributing to a healthy ecosystem.
They tend to grow in clumps, which creates a very visually pleasing effect.
In essence, crocuses are beautiful because they signal the start of spring, provide a burst of colour after a dreary winter, and possess a delicate and appealing form.
Les crocus ont une place spéciale dans mon cœur, ce sont des fleurs précoces : et parmi les premières fleurs à émerger au printemps, poussant souvent à travers la neige. Cette première apparition en fait un symbole d'espoir et de renouveau après la dormance de l'hiver. Les crocus affichent une large gamme de couleurs, y compris les violets, les jaunes, les blancs et même les variations rayées. Cette diversité crée des affichages visuellement attrayants.
Leurs fleurs en forme de godeaux et leurs pétales délicats ajoutent à leur charme. Leurs couleurs vives et leur pollen attirent les pollinisateurs de début de saison comme les abeilles, contribuant à un écosystème sain.
Ils ont tendance à se développer en touffes, ce qui crée un effet très agréable visuellement.
En substance, les crocus sont beaux parce qu'ils signalent le début du printemps, fournissent une explosion de couleur après un hiver lone et possèdent une forme délicate et attrayante.
I can't think of a more visually tranquil color scheme than the subtle tonality of a Gadwall Drake.

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.
- We Don’t See Things As They Are, We See Them As We Are.
Although we look at the same thing, not all of us always see the same thing.
- This song has absolutely nothing to do with the photo, but with my feeling today! You and I can be little heroes today ... by being good people and generous with others! I hope you have a very good Friday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTzcaEpvQec

The Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster) is a visually arresting seabird I encountered during an early morning expedition by fishing boat to Isla Terrón de Azúcar, a remote rock island in the open Caribbean waters off the coast of Capurganá and Acandí, in Chocó, Colombia. Battling the ocean’s rhythm, I stabilized myself at the base of the cliffs as the boat rocked through intense sunlight reflecting off the water’s surface. This bird perched calmly on the rugged rock, allowing a moment of stillness amidst the motion for a shot.
To capture this image, I used my Canon R5 paired with an 800mm f/11 lens and a 1.4x extender, giving me an effective focal length of 1120mm. I selected 1/750 second to compensate for the instability of the boat, while shooting at f/16 and ISO 800 to maintain detail and depth under the bright tropical sun. The result is a high-resolution portrait that captures the contrast of the bird’s rich brown plumage against the textured cliff and the soft gradient of ocean and sky beyond. Technical choices aside, this was a rewarding challenge—one that reminds me of the delicate balance between preparation, persistence, and nature’s fleeting stillness.

Challenge - In the Middle. Some staff where I work were talking about filling in the middle of cookies and it sparked this idea. Not only does Nabisco make double stuff Oreos - they make MEGA STUFF Oreos. I know, that's a lot of stuff, but visually it really helped the photo. :D Merry Christmas!
This type of image has always seemed visually very attractive to me, I know that this is not my best shot but I decided to try this in a new place and this is the result. Looking at the photograph on my computer, I realize that, it seems that I was in the very center of the road taking the photograph, that is the sense that it transmits to me when I see it ... but obviously I was on the bridge, capturing and observing the speed , the lights and that loud noise of cars, trucks, motorcycles ... that great daring of the day to day. I was there between 30 and 45 minutes ... you realize the madness of life that people in general lead, we run to all places, many of the times angry or upset with this or that ... and why ? In my opinion, not at all ... because if you stop to think calmly, everything is much simpler ... but it seems that this great inertia that we carry cannot be stopped!
I hope they are all well and I also hope they do not run as much as everyone I saw go by on this highway!
And remember:
"Speed is not an advantage in a vicious circle"
Thank you very much for your visits, faves and kind comments.
Spider Rock might be one of the most visually arresting landmarks in the entire National Park Service- a massive stone tower, shining in the sun and surrounded by the walls of an undulating and bending canyon. What a delight.
Much like Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly isn’t just part of the iconic landscape of the American Southwest, it is still a living and breathing and active community within the Navajo Nation- it is the only National Monument that is not on Federal Land, but instead, on Navajo Nation land. Spider Rock, a towering monolith of sandstone in the canyon is believed to be the home of Spider Grandmother, a spiritual figure who gives advice, medicinal cures, and help. Mindfulness of the privilege of being here is the way to go.
Across Utah and Arizona, you are in the Navajo Nation. In Navajo, sacred land is referred to as Diné Bikéyah. This land belongs to the people. Hopitutskwa, Pueblos, and Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute) land is also found across these two states and at archeological sites. It is an honor to see them.
Quite the sight ! The two brightest planets in the predawn sky rising above the landscape. Among conjunctions this one stands out as being visually breathtaking. This is a close conjunction with the separation of Venus and Jupiter being about the same as the Moon's diameter.
The visually spectacular red-crested cardinal is hard to miss. Looking like a flame shooting from its head, the red crest is magnificent. This South American species, also called the Brazilian cardinal, was introduced to Hawaii in the 1930s. Despite the resemblance and common name, the red-crested cardinal (Paroaria coronate) is not taxonomically classified as a cardinal.
Solitary Aspen, Dark Forest. © Copyright 2021 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
A small autumn aspen tree in the light in front of dark forest.
There is something about solitary trees standing against some sort of background. A friend has referred to them as “brave little tree” photographs — something I now think about every time I make one or see one. Landscape photography doesn’t always come quite this close to eliciting metaphorical associations, but I can certainly understand how one could make this association with these subjects. On a more prosaic note, from a purely compositional perspective, a single central subject posed against a larger and contrasting background often works visually, too.
This photograph was also an extra reminder to me about why I like to photograph non-iconic subjects. (Though I do have to admit that the solitary tree is a sort of generic icon, if that makes sense.) I rediscovered this photograph recently while reviewing some raw files from a couple of years ago. I usually record location information as I work on photographs, but with this one I could not even determine exactly where I made it! By sequencing the files before and after this exposure I was able to narrow it down to one very large drainage, but I don’t actually recall making the photograph! I I had worked with the file back when it was new, but I wasn’t fully satisfied with the result. When I came back to it I saw it in a somewhat different way, and I saw how to apply some newer post-processing tools to get the result I was after.

Ah, strawberries and raspberries! It's easy to see why I love them. Here's a breakdown of some possible reasons:
* Taste:
* Sweetness: Both fruits are naturally sweet, providing a burst of sugary goodness.
* Tartness: Strawberries and raspberries often have a slight tartness that balances out the sweetness, making their flavor more complex and refreshing.
* Juiciness: They are both juicy fruits, releasing a burst of flavor when you bite into them.
* Texture:
* Softness: They have a soft, delicate texture that's pleasant to eat.
* Seeds: The tiny seeds in raspberries add a slight crunch and interesting texture.
* Versatility:
* Eating alone: They're delicious eaten fresh on their own.
* Baking: Strawberries and raspberries are fantastic in cakes, pies, jams, and more.
* Other uses: You can add them to yogurt, cereal, smoothies, or even salads.
* Health Benefits:
* Vitamins: Both fruits are good sources of vitamins C and K.
* Antioxidants: They contain antioxidants that may help protect your cells from damage.
* Aesthetics:
* Colour: Their vibrant red color is visually appealing.
Ultimately, the reason you like strawberries and raspberries is likely a combination of these factors. Perhaps you particularly enjoy their sweetness, their refreshing tartness, or the way they look. Maybe you appreciate their versatility in recipes, or simply the pleasure of eating them fresh from the garden.
Do any of these reasons particularly resonate with you?
It thrills me to conceptualize visually things that exist only in my perception. Inevitably this leads down some dark and lonely metaphorical roads. Literally, desolation is a key ingredient. I spend much of my creative time with the camera exploring very lonely places. It heightens situational awareness and makes me keenly aware of the nuance of the environment. There's an element of risk as times. I don't actively pursue it, but thrill to the sense of adventure that ensues when the adrenaline kicks in. Makes me feel very alive. Anyway I'm off on another tangent here. My point is conceptualization of imagination. And a springboard for that is the feeling of an unseen presence I often feel around crop fields. There's some sort of energy there to be sure. Not something that can be gauged on a scientific basis, but we're talking about my mind here, and anything goes. Since childhood I've fantasized about apparitions that exist on one plane that momentarily become visible in our realm. Wraithlike female forms is one of my favorite incarnations. I prefer my terror in beautiful forms that somehow coexist with nature. More subtle than a chainsaw wielding monster, but every bit as terrifying.
Among all the photos from tropical climes, here's one that captures our German reality. It's autumn, and it's raining heavily (a bit too much for my taste).
And so, here we see a Dogwood leaf, still bearing the decorations from the last rain on its back.
When I look at the drops, I immediately think of Braille (only visually, of course. Tactile feedback wouldn't be very successful here), and I wonder what message nature might have left for us here.
Zwischen den ganzen Fotos aus tropischen Gefilden kommt hier eines, welches auch einmal unsere deutsche Realität zeigt. Wir haben Herbst und es regnet sehr viel (etwas zu viel nach meinem Geschmack).
Und so sehen wir hier das Blatt eines Hartriegels, welches noch die Dekoration vom letzten Regen auf seinem Rücken trägt.
Wenn ich mir die Tropfen so anschaue, muss ich spontan an Blindenschrift denken (Natürlich nur optisch. Abtasten würde hier keinen großen Erfolg bringen) und ich frage mich, welche Botschaft die Natur uns hier wohl hinterlassen haben mag.
DDC-Visual Interest
This is a twist on the theme, but it's pretty obvious where Shizandra's visual interest lies.
My last San Francisco layover was during July full moon, also called 'Buck Moon'. There was quite some media coverage about 'the first supermoon of 2023'. For me, this is a complete hype, though. The difference between the size of a so-called 'supermoon' and a regular full moon is just a few percent and therefore negligible as we will never be able to visually compare them side by side.
Their bright light, however, makes Milky Way photography all but impossible, and so I was planning to do some daylight scouting for future visits. As the spots I had on my list were all covered in coastal fog, though, I decided to take advantage of the weather and the moon phase.
To get above the fog drifting through the Golden Gate, covering the bridge and the coastal valleys, but sparing the city center and the higher hills, I headed to Mount Tam. After some hiking and shooting a few time-lapses of the fast-moving fog, I captured the 'Buck Moon' rising behind Mt. Hamilton, home of the famous Lick Observatory, the layered fog over the coastal hills and downtown San Francisco's skyscrapers glowing in the last light of the fading day.
For a silky-smooth look of the fog, without blurring the moon, I stacked 10 short exposures of the foreground and separately aligned and stacked the moon of the same exposures for noise reduction.

In my constant effort to publish interesting and visually appealing photos, I usually refrain from doing self portraits - for good reason. Here, however, comes an exception. Behold yours truly in all his semitransparency.
This is about as much as I can dare to show of myself. If in doubt, just look through me.
Technically, the transparency was not done in post processing. With an exposure of 30 seconds I could comfortably walk right into the image and stand where I wanted to while the camera was exposing. It took me about 7-10 seconds to walk to this spot. This means that I was there to be captured by the camera for about 10 seconds less than the rest of the image - hence the semitransparency.
This image should be viewed as large as possible, so please press 'L' to view it in the lightbox.
Despite my presence - enjoy!
This one I saw with my eyes as I was out observing in the early morning for Leonids and saw this Taurid, and so did the camera. Nikon Z7II and Nikon 20 mm S F1.8 with interval timer.
Very bright, at the horizon over the mountains. Dark Moonless sky.
This is my brightest meteor so far for 2025, and one that I happened to see and experience with my eyes in the early morning as well capturing it with a camera.
I have been told wishes do not count if the meteor is only seen by the camera, but to see the fireball, I think I get a wish !
From this perspective, the spoon-bill's left eye appeared to be injured. Some photographers (w/ large zoom lenses) nearby also confirmed the fact as well. Meanwhile, the great white egret seemed to keep an eye on his/her unfortunate friend too.
Have a peaceful day, everyone...
Sand sculptures are three-dimensional artworks created by shaping wet sand into intricate designs and structures. They are typically made by artists or sculptors who use a variety of tools to mold the sand into different shapes and forms.
Sand sculptures can vary in size and complexity, ranging from small and simple designs to large and elaborate creations. They are often crafted on beaches, where the sand is plentiful and easy to work with, but can also be created indoors using specially formulated sand that retains its shape better.
Many sand sculptors compete in sand sculpting contests and festivals around the world, where they showcase their skills and creativity. These events attract large crowds of spectators who come to admire the intricate and detailed sculptures that are created.
Sand sculptures are temporary in nature and are subject to erosion from wind, water, and other environmental factors. However, some artists use special techniques and materials to help preserve their sculptures for longer periods of time.
Overall, sand sculptures are a unique and visually stunning form of art that combines creativity, skill, and the natural beauty of the beach environment.
I was presented with my British Empire Medal today by the Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire. It was awarded in Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's final Birthday Honours for my voluntary work helping other blind and visually impaired people to live their lives more fully and independently by helping them select the right technology and then training them to use it. It has been very rewarding, especially over lockdown and the BEM was a huge, delightful surprise.
This is Jackie and me in the gardens of Beaumanor Hall after the presentation. Photo by our daughter, Michelle.

We got a huge amount of fresh snow over the weekend. Everything was covered in half a meter of snow - no public transport, no car - snowshoes were the best option. So I set out in the morning with my photo equipment - two cameras in my backpack, one with a wide angle and one with a telephoto so that I didn't have to change lenses in the heavy snow - a real dream to trudge through the untouched snow. And similar to fog, I had no problem exposing the great snow-laden tree visually from the background. If you zoom in, you can see the many frozen snowflakes on the trunk.
I was again spoiled for choice and chose this cyanotope instead of the black and white photo. I hope you enjoy it.
Eine wunderbare verschneite Schönheit als Zyanotypie
Am Wochenende haben wir eine riesige Menge Neuschnee bekommen. Alles war mit einem halben Meter Schnee überzogen - keine öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel, kein Auto - Schneeschuhe war die beste Option. So bin ich morgens mit meinem Fotoequipment losgezogen - zwei Kameras im Rucksack, eine mit Weitwinkel und eine mit Tele bestückt, damit ich bei dem heftigen Schnee kein Objektive wechseln musste - ein echter Traum, durch den unberührten Schnee zu stapfen. Und ähnlich wie bei Nebel hatte ich so auch kein Problem den tollen schneebeladenen Baum freizustellen. Wer reinzoomt, kann am Stamm die vielen eingefrorenen Schneeflocken erkennen.
Ich hatte wieder die Qual der Wahl und habe mich anstelle der Schwarzweißaufnahme für diese Cyanotopie entschieden. Ich hoffe es gefällt Euch.
The image shows a visually striking scene featuring a goddess-like figure seated in a confident pose before a massive, ornate clock adorned with intricate golden designs. The figure is dressed in a dramatic outfit that blends futuristic and ancient aesthetics, including metallic gold armor and an elaborate headdress with fan-like extensions. Her long, wavy hair cascades over her shoulders, and her arms are raised gracefully.
The clock serves as the central backdrop, symbolizing the passage of time, with Roman numerals prominently displayed around its circular face. The structure surrounding the clock is grand, with metallic and gold accents and decorative patterns that evoke a sense of opulence and power. The sky behind the clock is moody, with clouds partially illuminated by sunlight, adding depth and drama to the composition.
The overall vibe is majestic and otherworldly, portraying themes of time, strength, and divinity.
That's what Chat GPT had to say about my sl photo.

Visually reminiscent of the Age of Rail, which had a positive impact on the economy of Hillsboro, the Katy Depot stands today in close proximity to the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad lines as well as the Hill County Courthouse (National Register, 6/21/71), the focal point of the downtown commercial district. Hillsboro was established in 1853 to serve as the governmental seat and trade center for a basically agrarian county, cotton the primary crop. The completion of the MKT Railroad through Hillsboro in 1881 increased the commercial activity of the city and broadened its economic base. With locally raised funds, the citizens of Hillsboro purchased the right of way and property needed for a depot. Functional requirements dictated the size and massing of the structure which reflects architectural and decorative styles popular at the turn of the century, reminiscent of the Prairie style of architecture.
The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, commonly known as the Katy, was the first rail line to reach Hillsboro. Passenger service on the line, which connected Fort Worth and Temple, began on April 26, 1881, with four daily trains and a sleeper through to Chicago. The Katy Railroad brought a surge of economic activity to this agricultural region, becoming a major means of exporting cotton and livestock. As the economic base broadened, so did the population, which facilitated both residential and commercial expansion. Building materials were brought in by train and used to construct then contemporary structures. With the completion of the railroad several Katy buildings were constructed including: a frame station consisting of a waiting room, office, and a freight room; a cotton platform; and a section house. In 1894, Katy built division shops and a roundhouse in Hillsboro. The original station was converted to a freight house in 1902 and the present depot (seen in the photograph above) was erected on the land purchased by the city of Hillsboro. Throughout its operating years, the depot served as an integral part of the Hillsboro community. Among those visiting Hillsboro via the Katy were railroad tycoon Jay Gould, and Presidents Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, Calvin Coolidge, and Harry Truman. And, the depot served as the departure and arrival point for World War I and II soldiers serving their country.
On December 19, 1979, the Katy Depot (aka the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Company Railroad Depot) was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its architecture, history, and being the location of historic events as described above. All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration which can be viewed here:

1. Danilo (Onillad) ever present commenting on my photos. (true or false?)
2. Jay (jahrock91) sometimes not commenting on my photos (hehe)
And last but not the least:
3. Dosia (SIGHT EFFECTS), she says I am her first contact here on Flickr (I am deeply honored). Thank you. Visit her stream, she has an eye for good photography. Keep on shooting, my friend.

There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
NB: There was always a lot of speculation about the town referred to in the opening line being Omemee Neil’s childhood town. Neil set the record straight in a 1995 Mojo interview with Nick Kent:
"Well, it's not literally a specific town so much as a feeling. Actually, it's a couple of towns. Omemee, Ontario, is one of them. It's where I first went to school and spent my 'formative' years. Actually I was born in Toronto..."
I love the reference to more of a feeling as opposed to a specific town. Many sights leave us feeling helpless…This was shot just outside of Omemee.
