This is an image looking through one of the windows at Willow Court, New Norfolk. Willow Court was Australia's oldest mental asylum (which closed many years ago). Now gradually the buildings are being restored and repurposed for other (nicer) uses such as cafes, antique stores, etc.
There was something a little creepy about this shot, with the dentist chair (at least I think that's what it is) just sitting there on the floor. And somehow i've got a weird reflection on the top-left corner of the window which gives a strange distortion to the scene.
when I was admiring and photographing this cactus in someone's front yard, the homeowner came out and we started to talk. She was a lovely older woman with a fabulous head of silver hair done up in an elaborate chignon. Her charming accent was Dutch, she told me she had been born in Holland. Her garden was immaculate, filled with cacti and succulents and Canna lilies in full boom. There was also a glass walled patio attached to the back of her home and it was filled with even more Cacti varieties. And it was all so pristine, no fallen plant debris of any kind, I was gobsmacked, so much so that I took zero photos while I was given the tour, but I haven't forgotten it.
seen two years ago in Beach Grove BC
We've had some pretty great sunsets lately in the Sierra foothills, and last night's was especially nice. This view is across the Central Valley to the Coast Range.

When wondering what to do
It shouldn't be such a surprise
To follow heart's whispers
Always with open eyes
When it opened in 1964, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was the world's longest suspension span.

At the Magic Kingdom they have a fireworks show every night called "Wishes"-- it is amazing, strangely very moving, and a pleasure to photograph. More from my recent visit to the Happiest Place on Earth here.
For a great flickr friend and talented photographer John Frenzel who left me a lovely testimonial. You should make a point of checking out his varied photostream.
This is a view of the Havana Skyline from El Morro Fortress.
Shot with an old F-series camera using black and white film and converted to digital with a CanoScan 8400F. No texture or major processing. Added clarity due to the conversion to digital.

When the snows came
Lately we’ve just had mist lingering all day… not as beautiful as mounting snow.
So some beautiful snow to brighten up the day.

Wish nice two relaxing days. I am heading to my grandparents and relax (my eyes) from a long exhausting week at the screen.
Hey Mat & L. (&. T?): Wish you excellent light for sunday. :-)
Alberta, the farthest place I have travelled away from home, is still a largely wild and untapped province with exquisite landscape. Images from Fort McMurray have revived both fond memories of my trip in this part of the world in 2013 and saddened me with the anguish of the people there. Trusting that the worst is behind them now.
AI creation on Nightcafe
Does it make any sense? With adopting a prompt by another creator and adding my own 'mustard', I deliberately try to confuse and make AI halucinate.

You should've seen by the look in my eyes
That there was something missing
You should've known by the tone of my voice
But you didn't listen
You play dead, but you never bled
When I said that I love you
I meant that I loved you forever
And I'm going to keep on loving you
Because it's the only thing I want to do
I don't want to sleep
I just want to keep on loving you
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change
ourselves.

When I returned today from work and saw the weather, I decided to go out for a few photos. The sunset was beautiful and clouds fit perfectly.

Have a great weekend my friends!!! Will go out tonight to watch Karate Kid, I'll check your stream once I get back.
Thanks for your visit, comments, and faves!
When I visit my brother in Cornwall I always look forward to seeing wildlife that I don't see at home. So, on my latest visit early June I excitedly when looking but , alas, I didn't see anything new but I'm still most pleased with this photo of a Speckled Wood all the same!
Have a fab weekend dudes and dudettes!
As Winter finally ends, the early blooming Iris reticulata, Crocus, Snow Drops and Adonis are popping up everywhere. And even though Winter is rumored to be dropping a couple of inches of snow before Spring officially begins tomorrow at 6:45PM, all these little ones are strong enough to make it through.
Here's what the Pacific Bulb Society says about this exquisite and feisty little iris, Iris histroides 'Katherine Hodgkin':
"Iris 'Katherine Hodgkin' (sometimes spelled 'Katharine') is a justifiably coveted reticulata iris hybrid of Iris winogradowii and Iris histrioides. When it first opens, the flowers have an ethereal color scheme that's hard to describe; a tinge of sea-green suffused with powder blue and fabulous intricate markings. The cross was performed by E. B. Anderson in England in the 1960's; he named the plant after the wife of a fellow enthusiast, Eliot Hodgkin (mother of Sir Gordon Howard Eliot Hodgkin)."
