Faces without names
Playing devils and angels
Lit up by the strobes
Moving hypnotised
I caught your reflection
In the neon on glass
An electric silhouette
Against a static sky

Couldn't resist taking a picture while wandering the amazing Blade Runner build at Themyscira.
When I was a child, there was a drive through giant sequoia tree in Yosemite. It was known as the Wawona tree and was also in Yosemite National Park. The tunnel was cut in 1881 as a tourist attraction. It fell 88 Years later during the winter of 1968-1969. When it died, it was approximately 2100 years old, 234feet tall and 26 feet in diameter at the base.
When out the other day decided to ride out to see if any eagles. First time out there since last winter and have heard they have been seeing them. Well one on the ground and several in trees. They have picked the deer carcass to the bones. These are some of the deer that get hit by cars near this farmers land and he pulls them farther in the field where the eagles can come and go and won't get hit by cars.
There’s something undeniably magical about sitting outside, watching a lightning storm light up the sky.

When I close my eyes I still hear your voice and see your face, so I spend my days drinking to dull the pain.
When it first flew up into the tree, it gave a big shake... like a dog and the light backlit its feathers.
Here is the sound they make.. 'who cooks for you.. who cooks for you too' www.youtube.com/watch?v=fppKGJD3Y6c
Thank you Alyx for the lights, Fly for the music, and of course Harry and Hannignton for being here.

When the sky is falling on our heads, when the fog invades our minds, .... it's sometimes better to travel a little to come back stronger

Quand le ciel nous tombe sur la tête, que le brouillard envahi nos esprits, .... il vaut mieux parfois un peu voyager pour revenir plus fort
On my 2 mile walk around the lane. Dull, grey, rain in the air. About 13C, warmer than expected at this time of year
When I came back from Nelson Bay yesterday, Romeo was there, waiting for me, a lovely way to start the New Year :) /
Lorsque je suis rentree de Nelson Bay hier, Romeo etait la, qui m'attendait, une delicieuse facon de commencer la Nouvelle Annee :)
I turn to sitting here, looking over Oltrano and Florence... Brunelleschi's Dome is on the left and Santa Croce on the right...
Florence is a must-see city for any art lover, but its delights reach far beyond the museums and galleries. According to some, the city itself is a piece of art. Have you heard of Stendhal syndrome, that supposed illness that causes sufferers to grow faint at the sight of great beauty? It also goes by the name “Florence syndrome,” as it was first coined after 19th century visitors to Florence were overcome.

When I was young, I loved playing with water, and I still do now.
Thank you in advance for your interest and comments on my photos. That's much appreciated.
Please view at the full size of 1600. (click once)
It's also more pleasure for you.
(I hope so)
Same spotted eagle ray as an earlier post (but from this angle you can't see the spots). The eagle ray had finished searching through the sand for food and then rose in front of me to give this view of its face, with the pig-like nose. I'd say it is cute, but I know that is debatable. :-)
The opportunistic palometa is underneath, with another one barely visible behind.
The eagle ray is listed as endangered by the IUCN.
the mealworms. Haha
Lots of sun today, giving me a chance to bundle up and get some shots.

Thank you for looking at my photos. It is very much appreciated.
We were driving for several hours in the early morning around Mt. Fuji, trying to get a glimpse of the Mountain. We finally stopped at a golf club parking lot to stretch our legs and WOW, the fog lifted and we got this wonderful view of the Mountain. GCFujiv2
Spring has also started in the beautiful Polenz Valley in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Here it always happens when the first spring snowflakes start to bloom.
And even if they are still found only a few at the moment or in small groups, you can feel spring.
In addition, when I was moving close to the ground for this photo, the first bees flew across my path.
And as background music there was the gentle rustling of the river Polenz and the singing of quite a few birds.
For me, this was a very successful and recommendable trip. But if you want to experience the highlight, the snowflake meadow in all its glory, then it's better to wait a few more days.
But you'll have to be prepared for a lot more visitors than the few I encountered today.
Auch im schönen Polenztal im Elbsandsteingebirge hat der Frühling denn Startschuß gegeben. Hier erfolgt das immer dann, wenn die ersten Märzenbecher beginnen zu blühen.
Und auch, wenn sie im Moment noch eher vereinzelt oder in kleinen Gruppen zu finden sind, man kann den Frühling fühlen.
Außerdem sind mir als, ich für dieses Foto in Bodennähe unterwegs war, auch die ersten Bienen über den Weg geflogen.
Und als Hintergrundmusik gab es das sanfte Rauschen der Polenz und den Gesang ziemlich vieler Vögel.
Das war für mich ein seh gelungender und empfehlenswerter Ausflug. Doch wenn Ihr das Highlight, die Märzenbecherwiese in ihrer ganzen Pracht erleben wollt, dann wartet besser noch ein paar Tage.
Allerdings müsst Ihr Euch dann auf deutlich mehr Besucher einstellen als die paar, die mir heute begegnet sind.

Had a very nice visit to Zollverein Essen, Germany.
It has been a colemine and cokes factory: with an area of 100 hectares, more than 25 years after its closure, the once largest colliery in Europe is the only Unesco World Heritage Site of the Ruhr Area.

... it gets super saturated too! One of the delights of the season, IMO.
Explored at # 92 on November 6.
For a few brief moments each year, the sun and this solitary tree share the same path.
Long before the lavender reaches its peak bloom, the composition already exists in the mind of the photographer. The tree, the horizon, the flowering rows, and the sun's trajectory slowly converge toward a fleeting alignment.
On this evening, everything finally came together.
As the sun slipped beneath the horizon, its light passed through the trunk, turning the tree into a silhouette suspended between earth and sky. Around it, the lavender field glowed with the last warm tones of the day.
The scene lasts only a few minutes. The alignment takes months.
When I retired my boss gave me a beautiful engraved cut glass vase, embellished with three cut glass beads.
It's very beautiful and a wonderful keepsake. Whenever I fill it with flowers and clean it out afterwards I handle with great care.
Binx loves to help with anything. Right now, he is helping my husband play Madden Football. He has all sorts of good ideas and he will even tell you when you have played long enough with a little nip at your hand. Do you think the cat runs the house? Well, you would be correct! Haha!
