The Central Highlands is a region in Tasmania, Australia where geographical and administrative boundaries closely coincide. It is also known as The Lake Country of Tasmania. The Central Highlands Council incorporates most of the highland region. Early power developments by Hydro Tasmania in the Central Highlands included the communities of workers who were employed in construction. Significant numbers of the communities were migrants to Australia. The Tarraleah community was one established in 1934 which was a significant early community for the Upper Derwent Power Development. The part of Tarraleah known as Ticklebelly Flat - the area of the married quarters of the community - has become a part of Hydro history, being utilised in the most comprehensive history of the Hydro to date, Heather Fenton's book Ticklebelly Tales. Due to the large number of waterbodies in the Central Highlands, fishing is a long-standing popular activity in the area. The combined councils of the Central Highlands and the two Midlands councils - the southern and the northern have had for almost a decade a web based portal which combines the areas to a name of Tasmanian heartland. The Central Highlands Council has been organising the annual Bushfest which includes various outdoor activities such as fishing, camping, hunting and adventure sports. The event started in 2014 and witnesses a gathering of nearly 4000 people every year. 29739

Re: Climate Change
Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest, a towering stand of forty-nine haunting Atlantic white cedar trees, is a newly-commissioned public art work. Lin brings her vision as an artist and her agency as an environmental activist to this project, a memory of germination, vegetation, and abundance and a harsh symbol of the devastation of climate change. The height of each tree, around forty feet, overwhelms human scale and stands as a metaphor of the outsized impact of a looming environmental calamity.
In nature, a ghost forest is the evidence of a dead woodland that was once vibrant. Atlantic white cedar populations on the East Coast are endangered by past logging practices and threats from climate change, including extreme weather events that yield salt water intrusion, wind events, and fire. The trees in Ghost Forest were all slated to be cleared as part of regeneration efforts in the fragile ecosystem of the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.
The magnitude of planetary vulnerability is a significant subject in Lin’s practice through sculpture, installation, and her web-based resource, What Is Missing?. Now two generations removed from the Earthwork artists of the 1960s and 1970s, Lin is taking on rural and urban outdoor space with a focus on geology and the fragility of the earth’s ecosystem.
Lin created Ghost Forest Soundscape highlighting the sounds of some of the native species of animals once common to Manhattan. To listen, click the audio button to the left or view the accompanying text and credits here. It draws from the Macaulay Library sound archive of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. A series of public programs focused on nature-based solutions to climate change, including planting 1,000 trees and shrubs in collaboration with Natural Areas Conservancy, are planned throughout the run of the exhibition.
"Maya Ying Lin (born October 5, 1959) is an American designer and sculptor. In 1981, while an undergraduate at Yale University, she achieved national recognition when she won a national design competition for the planned Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.[1]
"In 1981, at 21 and still an undergraduate, Lin won a public design competition to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, to be built on the National Mall in Washington D.C.
Lin has designed numerous memorials, public and private buildings, landscapes, and sculptures. Although she is best known for historical memorials, she is also known for environmentally themed works, which often address environmental decline. According to Lin, she draws inspiration from the architecture of nature but believes that nothing she creates can match its beauty."
A number of steps to get this result. The photo is composed of a series of 4 photos stitched together with Hugin. Initial post processing to NR and sharpen with colour adjustments to bring out Milky Way. Last edits were done, trial and error, with a web based AI agent. There is a loss of resolution doing edits this way but the overall result was good IMHO.

……Music has been my ‘go to’ retreat during the pandemic - but then it generally is anyway! What's been useful is the plethora of web based music that is is now available to us now! I was listen to J to Z the Jazz prog’ on BBC Radio 3 and heard a piano trio - I googled to investigate more and found him - Emmet Cohen, great I thought and began to listen! But the guest vocalist REALLY was something else which led me elsewhere!!! Cyrille Aimée - WOW what a find, so Cyrille is my nominated Macro Monday Artist - please please PLEASE see link for Emmet & Cyrille youtu.be/81viyOKgx0w ……BTW, the picture is a close-up of the bridge on our sons Double Bass. Happy Macro Monday, stay locked down and cosy to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

We have seen it all before and I have stayed away from this location because I had seen too many images from here. Too many sunsets, sunrises, too many images where there is drama. I was tired of seeing so many images none I found actually paid attention to the principal subject matter, the boat shed and the path that leads on there and how it sits alone just off the banks of the river.
Well after numerous requests I caved in and when photographed it a few times recently with this occassion providing the conditions I was after to what I think best reflects the boat shed, its color and form and the position it occupies along the Swan RIver.

#macromondays #Fictitious
The latest #macromondays challenge #Fictitious prompts me to share this picture with you too. Finally Homer made it into the pool but of course i gave it a try myself to create more than just a single shot!
#Fictitious is an adjective that describes something that is not real or genuine, but rather imagined or fabricated. It can refer to something that has been invented or made up, often in the context of stories, data, or identities.
Spider-Man is a fictional superhero created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. He first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15, published by Marvel Comics in 1962. Spider-Man has since become one of the most popular and enduring characters in the Marvel Universe, and he has been the subject of numerous comic books, television shows, movies, and other forms of media.
Key Attributes and Characteristics:
Real Name: Peter Parker
Origin: Peter Parker was a high school student living in New York City with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. After being bitten by a radioactive spider, he developed spider-like abilities including super strength, agility, the ability to stick to walls, and a sixth sense that warns him of danger, termed his "spider-sense."
Web-Swinging: With his scientific acumen, Peter developed a web fluid and a pair of wrist-mounted web-shooters that allow him to create webs for various purposes, including swinging between buildings, capturing criminals, and creating various web-based tools and weapons.
Motto: "With great power comes great responsibility." This phrase serves as Peter's guiding principle, instilled in him after the tragic death of his Uncle Ben, a death Peter feels responsible for because he initially used his powers selfishly rather than to stop a thief who later killed Ben.
Enemies: Spider-Man has one of the most diverse and iconic rogues' galleries in all of comics, which includes villains like the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Venom, Sandman, the Lizard, and many others.
Allies: While often a solo hero, Spider-Man has teamed up with many other superheroes in the Marvel Universe, including the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and the X-Men. He also has a close relationship with other street-level heroes in New York, such as Daredevil.
Identity: Peter's struggle to maintain his secret identity and balance his personal life with his responsibilities as Spider-Man has always been a central theme of the character's narrative.
Alter Egos: While Peter Parker is the most famous Spider-Man, other characters have taken up the mantle or have been inspired by him in various storylines and alternate realities. This includes characters like Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy (as Spider-Gwen or Ghost-Spider), and Ben Reilly (as the Scarlet Spider).
Portrayal in Other Media: Spider-Man has been portrayed in numerous films, notably by actors Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. Additionally, the character has been the subject of various animated series, video games, and more.
The character's relatable struggles, both as a teenager and as an adult, combined with his wit, determination, and strong moral compass, have made Spider-Man a beloved figure in pop culture for many decades.

i experienced an enlightenment late last year.
I should pursue projects that would challenge my creativity and artistic sensibility.
It is tied up to print design and tangible projects as opposed to web-based jobs.
The problem is I find myself stuck with boring jobs and clients without any artisitc sense.
I'm lost. I need to go somewhere else.

52 Weeks of 2017
Week 42
Theme: Pixel Sort
Category: Creative
This week's challenge was certainly an interesting exercise... I had never heard of this technique before, and, since I don't have full version Photoshop to upload actions into, I went searching for a web-based alternative. Luckily I found one here: pixlshift.owlmoth.net
Also for Sliders Sunday - HSS!
There are certain places that you go that you have to take THE shot…you know, the same one they use for their “come visit” posters, brochures and web-based marketing. Here is the one of the more often used for Yosemite. Some will zoom in or out, others may wait for more cloud cover, but I don’t wait well for landscape shots…so here is what it looked like in the 2.3 minutes that we stopped on the overlook once this picture came into view.
Looking at it now, just over two weeks later and at home on the computer, my mind still cannot comprehend the scale of this place. Only now do I understand why John Muir, also known as “John of the Mountains” fought so hard to protect this place. I truly thank him for his foresight and depth of understanding of the human condition. It was an honor to have lunch in the same room that he and Theodore Roosevelt met in while discussing the development of our National Parks System.
In this shot you see (L-R) El Capitan, the largest exposed single piece of granite in the world. At 3,593 feet tall it is a fantastic reference point when trying to determine direction. In the center of the shot with clouds mimicking its shape is Half Dome. To the right is Bridalveil Falls, a 616 foot tall waterfall that flows year round and provided the rainbow shot previously posted.
NASA and the National Park Service worked together to create a web-based tool that helps park managers better understand the impact of outdoor lighting and noise on animal species in national parks.
The website allows park managers to choose a time period, such as the spring or winter seasons, and then zoom into a particular park to see sound and nighttime lights data and determine which animal species might be at risk from those sensory stimuli.
Observations from space, such as nighttime light data from the NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP satellite used to produce this United States map, help to better gauge the impact of outdoor lighting on animal species in national parks.
April 16-24, 2022, 2022, is National Park Week. Parks across the country are hosting events virtually and in-person.

Picture was taken early in a cold, dark and windy morning in Achill Island, west coast of Ireland (check the geotag if interested). A little later a huge storm rolled in from the Atlantic Ocean and spoiled my photographic fun.
I ran the name of the boat through Google translator which returned the result “God of Math”. Strange name. If anybody that speaks Gaelic sees this please drop me a line about the accuracy of the translation. Thanks!
Update: Thanks to Peep O'Daze for helping out with the translation. I started out on the wrong path by misreading the word mara as mata. From there on it only got worse with web based translators. Cu na Mara means Hound of the Seas. Mystery solved!

Das Narrenschiff - "The Ship of Fools". Sculpted by Juergen Weber, based from woodcuts by Albrecht Dürer of a 16th-century book by Sebastian Brandt.
iTower, or 'The Experiment', strange title? Here's why:
Just yesterday I had a discussion with a colleague about the old "you need good camera to take good pictures" argument. My opinion (although I own quite some cameras) is, that for most web based viewing even a smartphone would deliver OK-results. This led to my little fun "Experiment" of taking my smartphone out to my lunch break with the intention of taking one picture to post to Flickr the next day and check for feedback. Well and that's all there is to the title. I called it iTower, as I took the picture with an iPhone. OK - the pic went through some minor Lightroom tweaking’s, but that’s nothing I wouldn’t do to other pictures as well. What do you think? Are smartphones valid cameras? (BTW, shooting with a smartphone just FEELS wrong, maybe they will produce a smartphone with a viewfinder in the future... just kidding...)
Evoshop28 – Shopping Hud - Second Life fashion
media-sl.com/2021/08/27/evoshop28-shopping-hud/
A New Event Concept in Second Life Shopping where each Designer sets up 1 vendor with a New, Original and Exclusive product that will expire in 28 days on a web-based-product-view, and the customers purchase their products in a HUD in-world, shopping on the fly, fast and privately.
Because the HUD is copy/trans, hundreds of thousands of residents have free access to it, allowing each Creator's product to be seen by all EvoShop28 users and therefore, increase their new release revenues, and even more with the easy Gift function that allows any product to be gifted to any resident with ease.
The EvoShop28 Event was created by Yoshida Suki (legacy name), has been in the works since early 2020, and the EvoShop team are like-minded individuals with the same goal, including engineers, entrepreneurs, sales experts and experienced shopping residents, some from Second Life and some from Real Life. We are not affiliated with any current Second Life vending systems or any other systems, current or previous, nor do we use any third-party software of any kind.
The base concept of EvoShop is to grant all residents the opportunity to shop all the great items on the fly, giving them a lot more flexibility and convenience, while making the Creators businesses much more profitable, making it a win-win situation.
Each creator is allowed to have 1 vendor at the EvoShop28 Event that when approved, will expire in 28 days, unlike the events held on regions that open and close, EvoShop28 allows the buyer shopping experience to be continuous 24/7.

Interesting to know/understand about why
this particular image was chosen for "EXPLORE".......
Explore is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period.
That's only one image in every 17,000!
How to find out if your photo was Explored by Flickr: Big Huge Labs has a web-based app for that, called "Scout": bighugelabs.com/scout.php
An art crtic, John Grande
came to see my show and wrote this about me:
Roger Guetta: Everyday Magic
Re-working the real to uncover a hidden universe that is there for anyone to discover if they remain open to the world we live in, Roger Guetta captures something of the avant-garde spirit. His aesthetics are based on the play of and with the image. For Guetta, images are like phrases or words. The act of layering and reassembling that is an essential part of the artist’s process is like writing with images. But before that Guetta is a hunter gatherer of imagery, selecting and searching materials, objects and images from a range of sources, whether Village des Valeurs, a forest, a beautiful model, or that forest of signs that is our urban reality, all the intensity of microscopic details of our world. The journey Roger Guetta is on involves capturing visual cues and details. He then uses them in the layering, cropping, enhancing that take place in the final stages of his process. In this sense the process of formulating images in the multi-layering is like a form of cognition. The image is no longer an icon but instead a place to visit, where we can find points of experience that exist as a fulcrum for the moment, many moments, a sequence where images are used to build textures of visuality. As intuitive visual investigations of the essential mysteries of life, Guetta provides us with a variety of points of perception within a single image. Like visual texts these photographs inspire each of us to build a meaning into what we see out of the common references drawn from the everyday we discover, uncover, recover, in the textures, colours, movement. Guetta draws from everyday life for sourcing in his imagery for a reason. It enables him to participate in life theatre, like an anthropologist of the present moment. The visual sourcings flower and explode out of a multiplicity, and that flow has no borders, and there is no evidence of cropping, or composition. Guetta condenses, compacts, and layers with great speed. As visual oracular testaments to that great gift of consciousness, we humans have. Guetta mines the unconscious as part of that dualistic process we are always dueling with. The speed of the action and decision-making in bridging imagery builds image depths we can read into. His photos are not maps, but instead pools with depths of interpretation born of the digital age. Roger Guetta uses techniques with an acute awareness of photography’s place within a full spectrum of visual processes from video, to web-based design, to commercial advertising, to televisual and multimedia.
Guetta intuitively understands what the visual image is and can be. While most of these works were produced over the past two years, Guetta produced a series in the 1970s and 1980s using an SX 70 Polaroid Land Camera that revealed the influence of Lucas Samarras. The polaroids were then re-photographed, re-coloured and enhanced to then be printed in a larger scale. The look of these images is Baroque, embroidered, unreal. . Titles form an integral part of the process for they provide a human point of contact with the image. A recent image The Ensemble Waiting for their Props have an 1980s feel. Inspired by the expressionist performance piece Place Of Thunder Guetta directed in 1979, that included masks, drums, a body, and an audience participation that added to the shock effect of the production, this image speaks of presence and absence, of prop scenarios and the theatre of the absurd. In The First Critical Theorist Criticizing his Second Critical Theory, Guetta references irony using the everyday, integrating a solemn copper body image amid a textural, hieroglyphic collagist splay of visual devices to build a resonance, an immediate concrete illusionism. Strong Presence in Association to the Event is a real-time chronicle of illusionism, with a set of eyes disguised under a mask of material, gold leaf and white atmospheric effects; this is an image that reifies our sense of the hidden gesture. The mystery unlocks another mystery….
Guetta’s photos engage us with their pulls, the turns, the facility with which he uses imagery as a painter would paint. The Photoshop of the digital era, enables effects to be achieved that the Surrealists once used with their paintings to explore the unconscious. In our times ‘reality’ itself is surreal, for the contexts, object elements, even nature are transformed seemingly endlessly, and so ‘original context’ is no longer what the artist works with. Imagery becomes a statement about a world in flux. Man Ray, Raoul Hausmann, and John Heartfield’s experiments with collage and montage developed a creative language of association that was expressionist. In the same way Guetta’s photoworks reference memory, imagination, sex, love, and life using imagery of the everyday, and with atmospheres of imagery that build and coalesce. Sometimes, the multi-sensory aesthetic is close to the aesthetic of contemporary Japanese photography.
Writing with visual layers is evocative, beautiful, and even classical when it comes to the portraits, the faces. Others metamorphose, and like embryonic mysteries, break open to reveal multiple facets, but not as fragments. Instead the nudes, and figures, and abstract lights effects establish continuity between the various elements. They become narratives on the sublime, and the imagery is a vehicle towards expressing more universal and spiritual interests. So Guetta builds earth dreams, in a temporal way, while referencing the full range of new technologies, and with an accent that tends towards the sensual whether in earth tones or vibrant colours. We see this in Old School Ride, an image of a 1950s car. Red Burn with its vibrant red and yellow effects is so evocative. The process involved exposing theatre gel on paper to the heat of photo lamps, whereby he colours melted somewhat, to then be stretched. Finally Guetta photographs his experiment and it becomes an abstract study.
Sometimes, the images are spliced together from various sources, and they can express an intuitive, almost sublime sense of the mystery of the everyday, for it is the commonality of the associations in these photoworks, and the strange truly unusual juxtaposition of light effects, colour, textures, and visual imagery. There is always a suggestion of abstraction even when the images are readable, for they are all abstractions from a supposed reality. Guetta has made a series of white on white images that are like worlds within worlds, total constructions, or constructions of a totality that is fleeting, ephemeral, interpretive. As cosmologies they still derive from the so-called real world and an infinity of effects we read into, and build meanings out of our experience. Our experience is every day, every way, always going on, and the filters do their work unperceived. Sometimes we recognize the effects, othertimes we search. The search continues….
And there is another aspect to what Guetta seeks to discover in the imperceptible recognizable, and the merging of it all. That something is the language of commercial advertising that invades our reality in vast volumes daily. Commercial is the most volatile and creative tank of endeavor, particularly as it applies to the visual image Each photo looks like it is captured from within a momentary flux of images, as if nothing were solid, or permanent Instead we feel the ephemeral ever changing sense of life and what it truly means as we experience it. For there are no clues, no ultimate reasons, just a series of visual cues and codices. Guetta interlaces these so as to present a scenario, but not as in theatre, or a plot, more like the way Joseph Cornell will arrange his elements in a magic box assemblage, taking the ordinary to create a near surreal reality, and making what seems unreal so real. We see this in The 7th Way to Cross a River. Juxtaposing a tiny doll manikin with a zig zag abstract surface pattern, this becomes a universal magical mystery. Guetta dances on the end of a rainbow, slides along its colourful arch. As a photographer he is eclectic, and has a very broad range of styles that he can apply. We live in an era when a multitude of styles are available as source from the photographer. Roger Guetta understands all this intuitively.

AKA The Foo Fighters.
No wonder Kurt blew his brains out if he had to hang out with Dave Grohl. If I had to hang out with such a retard I would probably do the same....
Funny how on their revamped website their causes page no longer carries a link to the HIV denialist group alive and well (AKA Dead and Buried)
However there is still online a version of their old causes page here:
www.foofighters.com/community_cause.html
So not so easy to erase this public display of continued denialism...
As for the rest the following article makes for interesting reading (it may be old but The Truth Fighters are still continuing to support Maggiore, and much more on her later...):
Foo Fighters, HIV Deniers

Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl wants you to forget what you think you know about AIDS.
News: A platinum-selling alt-rock group may be endangering their fans by promoting a dangerous myth.
By Silja J.A. Talvi
February 25, 2000
Some rock stars want to free Tibet. Others want to save Mumia. The Foo Fighters, on the other hand, want their fans to ignore accepted medical wisdom about AIDS.
The multimillion-album-selling alternative rock outfit has thrown its weight behind Alive and Well, an "alternative AIDS information group" that denies any link between HIV and AIDS. In January, Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel helped organize a sold-out concert in Hollywood to benefit the group. Foo fans were treated to a speech by Alive and Well founder Christine Maggiore, who believes AIDS may be caused by HIV-related medications, anal sex, stress, and drug use, and implies that people should not get tested for HIV nor take medications to counter the virus. Free copies of Maggiore's self-published book, "What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong?," in which she declares "there is no proof that HIV causes AIDS," were also passed out to the concert-goers.
HIV experts are alarmed by the possible impact of the Foo Fighters' embrace of Maggiore's theories on their potentially gullible young fans.
"Clearly, more research is needed on the factors that contribute to HIV infection and the development of AIDS," says Dorcus Crumbley of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention. "However, the conclusions of more than two decades of epidemiologic, virologic, and medical research are that HIV infection is transmissible through sexual contact, injecting drug use, perinatally, and from receiving blood or blood products ... (and) the scientific evidence is overwhelming that HIV is the cause of AIDS."
Adds Crumbley: "The myth that HIV is not the primary cause of AIDS ... could cause (HIV-positive people) to reject treatment critical for their own health and for preventing transmission to others."
"When it comes to such a complex health topic, it behooves the band to have really researched what they are endorsing," says Diane Tanaka, an attending physician at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where she works with a large population of high-risk and HIV-infected low-income youth. "(The Foo Fighters) have a big responsibility in terms of (their) public role and the impact that they can have on young people. Is this band willing to take responsibility for a young person engaging in risky, unprotected sex because of information they've gotten from the (Foo Fighters) or from Alive and Well?"
Alive and Well is one of several fringe groups that deny a link between HIV and AIDS. Similar theories have been put forth over the years by various far-right groups and anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists, and other so-called "HIV-refuseniks."
"Your risk of being hit by lightning is greater than that of contracting HIV through a one-time random sexual contact with someone you don't know here in America," says Maggiore, an HIV-positive Southern California resident with no formal training in medicine or the sciences. "And if (a young person) were to get a positive diagnosis, that does not mean they've been infected with HIV." The HIV-AIDS connection, maintains Maggiore, has been promoted by greedy drug companies.
Mendel says he was won over by Maggiore's book, and passed it around to the rest of the band, which includes former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Mendel says that he would steer anyone considering an HIV antibody test toward Maggiore's group.
"If you test positive, you are pretty much given a bleak outlook and told to take toxic drugs to possibly ward off new infections," says Mendel.
With the other band members on board, Mendel aims to use the Foo Fighters' celebrity to get the message out to a broad audience. The Foo Fighters plan additional benefit shows, and have placed a banner ad on their Web site linking to Alive and Well. Mendel says that he does not have HIV, nor does he have any friends with HIV besides Maggiore, who has remained asymptomatic.
The most recent numbers from the Joint United Nations' HIV/AIDS Program estimate that 16.3 million people worldwide have died of AIDS-related causes since 1981. Medical research in the United States indicates that as many as 25 percent of the nation's estimated 40,000 annual HIV infections occur among 13- to 21-year-olds. Maggiore, however, maintains that worldwide HIV infections and AIDS deaths are exaggerated by the CDC and the World Health Organization, even in regions like sub-Saharan Africa, where two-thirds of the world's HIV-infected people live.
Maggiore's message has apparently penetrated the minds of at least some Foo aficionados. She says she has heard from many Foo fans since the show -- one of whom, she says, now works at the Alive and Well office.
"AIDS is a toxic disease caused by either long-term recreational drug abuse or short-term anti-HIV medications," writes a 22-year-old member of the Alive and Well-affiliated Students Reappraising AIDS on the Foo Fighters' Web-based message board. "HIV is not spread sexually, nor is it the cause of any disease."
Other fans are less impressed. Damian Purdy, a 21-year-old Winnipeg, Canada resident and devoted Foo Fighters fan, is outraged by the band's position. "By supporting this, the Foo Fighters have entered an arena that they have no business being in. The truth is that a rock concert is not the appropriate platform for these views to be expressed. I think the Foo Fighters have more influence than they realize," he says.
For his part, Mendel remains convinced that the media and the medical establishment are keeping the truth about HIV and AIDS from the public. The Foo Fighters, he insists, will continue to use their celebrity to bring "light to the issue."
Is he worried that the group might be endangering the lives of some of its listeners?
"I'm absolutely confident that I'm doing the right thing," Mendel answers. "No, I wouldn't feel responsible for possibly harming somebody. I (feel) I'm doing the opposite."
Taken a couple of years ago on my travels around California for 3 weeks shooing as much as I could in the time I had ... While this is an amazing place to photograph one has to wait till almost everyone has gone home or not arrived as yet. Reason being the crowds where insane with and finding the right location within the crowds was not easy ...

Arguably one of Australia’s most recognizable iconic locations, the 12 Apostles in Victoria. This location has been shot to hell and back, but its always changing as we now only have 8 Apostles remaining, but if you look at little closer you can easily see new ones being formed by erosion.
