A photo for this week's photo assignment, themed Minimal Colour.
I had pretty much given up trying to find a scene with minimal colour when I happened upon one while out for a walk yesterday. :)

Not a great deal to this one really, an evening stroll along the pier then a little post processing to correct the levels etc.
EDIT:
This photo features in Explore for April 3rd 2011, thank you to everybody for your feedback.

Shot of a couple as they were wondering in the park on an autumn day. It was a foggy day which created this beautiful light.
When it's freezing rain, late and you're hungry, it's time to raid the fridge and whip together Faux Pho Bo

Taken at Mt Seymour, North Vancouver BC a few weeks back, I added some pp on it to give it more of a winter flavour. I am wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, enjoy your time with family and or friends this Christmas season.
"...Autumn begins with a subtle change in the light,
with skies a deeper blue,
and nights that become suddenly clear and chilled.
The season comes full with the first frost,
the disappearance of migrant birds,
and the harvesting of the season's last crops."
~ Glenn Wolff and Jerry Dennis

I sat in my car and looked at the little gift shop. This was the first time in all the years that I have been coming here, that I have seen it open. Of course, I usually stop here in the middle of the night, so it's no wonder. I thought, I really don't need to buy anything, and I almost pulled out of the lot... and then that old familiar tug at my heart saying, "go in... there might be something wonderful in there!" So, I listened to my heart. When I walked through the door, directly in front of me, one of the first thing I noticed, was photographs, beautiful matted photographs. They reeled me in because I always need to see what other people see... do they see things the way that I do.... what do they see that I am missing? The beautiful photos seemed familiar to me... like I had seen them before. I looked at the signature. I knew that name! I smiled. This person that I "knew" from my Flickr pages, had her photos for sale, in my favorite place! How fabulous! When I left the little gift shop... I pulled out my phone and left a quick comment on her Flickr page. To my surprise, I quickly had a response to my comment telling me that she lived right around the corner and asking how could she get in touch with me? Being technologically challenged, I couldn't figure out a way to Flickr mail her my phone number, so I just threw it out there on her page and within minutes we were in contact and a few minutes later we had plans! Dinner and a night sky shoot... in my very favorite place! What could possibly be better?!!
For my birthday weekend... I followed my heart to a place that I love, to do what I love to do. And there... the Universe gave me a wonderful birthday gift... a new friend, with whom I spent a perfect evening.... eating pizza, shooting the sunset, talking about things we love, shooting the night sky and making new plans. And I know we will do it again!! Thank you, Universe!! Thank you Joan for a really fun night! ♥
Oh....and one last fun thought.... remember synchronicities?... those fun little unexplainable coincidences? Earlier this day I walked along the edge of a beach, not the water edge, but near wooded edge... and I happened to notice a little path through the woods... I wondered where it led. Later, I found that.... it leads to Joan's house! We are all connected in ways... sometimes by words on a Flickr page.... sometimes by paths in places you've never been. How cool is that....? : )
Follow your heart.... ♥
My new and very talented friend, Joan ... go say hi!

When one visits this charming little town there are walks on the headlands to north and south. The track I am now on, is the northern choice heading for Killantringan lighthouse. Looking back south we see Port Patrick itself.

Took a 4+ hour drive down to Death Valley just to get to Bad Waters. Super pumped about all the awesome shots I got!
When heading along the A82, I've rarely resisted the temptation to stop here & take a few snaps. It almost feels like you're cheating, though, as such uncompromisingly wild vistas usually require at least a little walking for full appreciation; this arresting view can be viewed without leaving your car. My little Micra was barely 20 metres behind me, here.
Four minutes before the sun disappeared below the horizon behind me, the light was dropping quickly. Owen Conservation Park, Madison, Wisconsin, USA, January 8, 2025, 4:37 PM.
When I spotted some glorious crepuscular rays beaming through the evening sky I didn't need a seconds thought in going out to shoot them and with countless fields full of of hay bales around at the moment I decided to pop along to no mans lane and capture a composition to include everything...
When I was a lad, crops were cut with a harvester and then put through a threshing machine. Then along came the combine harvester.
Before new crops could be sown, the stubble was burnt off and then the field was ploughed and harrowed before new crops were sown.
Now crops can be sown into a field of stubble if desired.

Happy New Year's Day everyone!
My first photo of 2018 was just about to be of a huge and bright rainbow over the nice view where I live, but it sadly disappeared when I ran out with my camera : / So I'll upload this one from two years ago instead - also from where I live. We tried to photograph the fireworks far away (there are almost none where we live), and suddenly realized that the northern lights were there.
Last night we celebrated at my sister's place, with a fantastic view over the towns of Sandnes and Stavanger. It was amazing watching the huge amounts of fireworks in all directions. But of course it rained too much to bring the camera : /

When Everett & I were exploring his back pasture, we found a beautiful window skimmer dragonfly. She really liked this perch & kept coming back to it.
