When in Rome. Another from the all night shoot with Doug Chinnery and Terry Gibbins back in June or so last year. At this stage I was cold and certainly hungry
The end of another day comes to Lake Superior at Little Girl's Point in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The Nikon 28-400mm Z is quite the versatile lens. This and the previous photo were taken side by side.
"When February sun shines cold.
There comes a day when in the air.
The wings of winter slow unfold.
And show the golden summer there."
- Philip Henry Savage (1868–1899)

This is a country scene on the road to my house. I was returning home after being out shooting pictures and it became very overcast, foggy and raining. As I turned on my road the Sun popped through the fog for just a few moments and this is what I saw.
......they open your heart and lift your spirit.
I think those kisses come in the form of a friend, a thought, a sight, a song, a laugh, a moment.......
I want to thank my Flickr friends for giving me all of those.
Today, I'm blowing some kisses your way. Have a nice Sunday.
:-)

It was dark at 5:30am, the path to the top was muddy and slippery due to raining these days. 0C degree, it was freezing cold even with winter jacket on. The sky was full of stars, my hands could almost reach them. When my eyes gradually adapted to the dark, the stars were even brighter. The beautiful Moraine Lake was looming in the mist from the blue hour to red with sunrise light… The most beautiful 2~3 hours. 😉
There were not so many parking spots left at 5:15am. But luckily got in. Went here again one week later at 4:50am, planned to take sunrise photo at Moraine Lake, then hike to the Larch Valley. But parking lot was full. If the lots were full, you would not be allowed in… But the staff started to work at 5am, so many cars parked the 13 km road to Moraine Lake (roadside)… It was the peak time for Larch Valley, which is located up above Moraine Lake in the hamlet of Lake Louise, the trailhead of this hike begins at this very busy, very popular Moraine Lake parking lot… If you want to capture sunrise in the early morning, better arriving before 5am to guarantee a parking spot. Otherwise, you may have to go somewhere else…😊

The Acalypha Wilkesiana or Fijian Fire Plant, at the end of our garden, is one of the places I check for Dragon and Damselflies every day. This morning, though, there were no odonata but, surprisingly, this False Garden Mantis in search of some preys. It is the very first Mantis that I find in that tree.
From a productive trip to explore fall colors in Washington State this past Sunday. We saw rain, snow, sun, and a whole lot of colors.

Pensar incomoda como andar à chuva
Quando o vento cresce e parece que chove mais.
Não tenho ambições nem desejos
Ser poeta não é uma ambição minha
É a minha maneira de estar sozinho.

Another image from my favorite retail art museum (as I call it), Anthropologie. If I purchased everything I photographed, I'd be broke! Thanks, Anthropologie, for your free license to photograph and promote your gorgeous design creations!
A lot of the old commercial buildings of the early 1900’s carried a name either of the proprietor or the company that had it built. If your dentist had a suite in this building you would tell people that he was in the Watercott building and they would know where you meant without an address. Years ago a big shot lawyer came from Chicago to inquire about renting a suite in our local Lehman Building. The building manager showed him the place and he seemed well pleased. On the way in though he noticed that a couple of old shabby looking men were running a news stand on the sidewalk in front of the place. He told the building manager that those two would have to go however if he were to rent there. The building manager replied: “Sir, those two men own this place.” It was the Lehman brothers. They were a couple of eccentric millionaires whose family name was on the building. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
High atop a mountain ridge in the Great Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, you can see for a hundred miles. To me, there's no better place to start a new day.
Took this picture when out sailing last week. It´s a pic of the Swedish painter Bruno Liljefors hunting lodge out in the Stockholm Archipelago. I shot it on Fomapan 400 and concentrate on the heaven.
Something went wrong in my head at developing, I got in my mind it was Foma 100 and developed it in Rodinal...
It became very grainy and very underdeveloped.
But in someway I like the dreamy, grainy character on it.

March 2020 just before lockdown we had a brief but brilliant weekend escape to Narooma and surrounds.
I thought I'd revisit a few that I fell in love with from there with current software and techniques...
When we landed at Gatwick Airport last summer after an overnight flight, we took a cab to the Bed and Breakfast at Copyhold Hollow near Haywards Heath. After a sumptuous breakfast and a nap, we took the short walk to this garden and got over our jet lag by spending the late morning roaming its paths and resting on its many benches. Here is a link:
It’s been a while since my last upload, but I’ve been very busy in my job and my girlfriend and I were also busy planning something I’ve dreamed of a long time: a trip to Iceland! After so many years, I finally managed to visit and explore the land of fire and ice and even though we initially thought about spending three weeks there, our two weeks road trip was just epic and so overwhelmingly and otherworldly beautiful that I cannot even describe it.
And on top of all of it: Approximately a week before the start of our trip, the Fagradasfjall volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula became active and started spitting lava. For some reason, I have the feeling that this was no coincidence as this happened exactly at the birthday of my mom who sadly passed away six years ago one day after her birthday and which I know for sure would have loved to see me going there on a road trip adventure taking lots of beautiful images. So if this was really you mum, thank you so much for such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were even more lucky as in the first days, lava was only coming out of an elongated fissure which has then transformed into a small photogenic crater as we arrived.
But let’s start from to the beginning: We started our trip and thought that we should hike to the volcano as long as it is active and since it was very close to the airport, we drove there immediately after we picked up our camper van. When we arrived at the parking lot, we saw crowds of people and struggled to find a parking spot at the second parking lot they opened (they even closed the first one), but luckily we did find a spot, took a short break to rest and hiked up there in the afternoon. The first part of the trail was easy to hike although it was the steepest part leading up the hill for around one hour followed by a very, very rocky “path” on top of the mountain ridge which also took us around one hour before the trail goes down to the actual eruption site. All in all, it took us 2.5 to 3 hours to get there and after being stoked about seeing the old lava fields from last year’s eruption the volcano finally revealed itself in front of our eyes. We just stood there in awe, had goosebumps and I think we both didn’t realize what was in front of our eyes. I still don’t fully realize it today and cannot describe it in words, but seeing this and hearing the sounds of the volcano spitting molten rocks high up into the air was just phenomenal.
We then spent some time there and decided to leave as it got dark since we didn’t want to hike the very rocky part of the trail in full darkness (even though we had headlamps with us). Knowing that this will again be a 2+ hours hike also strengthened our decision to leave and on our way I looked back, saw that the smoke from the volcano which was coloured red from the glowing lava and thought that this would have also made for some very nice images. Anyhow, I did take a few images like this one which I really like and got amazingly lucky to be there just in time, especially since the volcano was declared inactive after one and a half weeks later. So I hope you like this attempt of capturing the Fagradasfjall and I hope that you will follow me and my girlfriend (www.flickr.com/photos/193130995@N02) on our road trip through the amazingly beautiful Iceland.
Candid street photography can be easily misinterpreted - - -
A polite smile and a wave - and be prepared to run.
In reality most shots like this from the hip and at a distance are not even noticed. Those that do notice are more often just looking at an odd old guy with white hair, the camera is unobtrusive unless you lift it and use the viewfinder.
