When driving home last night the sky was dancing in front of me. I didn't have good clothes, no flashlight, almost out of gas and had forgot my phone. It still seemed like a good idea to park outside the city and enjoy the show...
When I arrived early this morning, I was surprised to see this male. The sun had just barely hit the water at this moment to light up his face.

Vorderer Lahngangsee, Totes Gebirge at 1500m / Austria, Samyang 12mm
This wonderful scene was captured during a multi-day hike through the Totes Gebirge in Austria. I had brought a small travel tripod with me and was just setting it up beside this beautiful mountain lake, hoping to capture the scene in brilliant sunlight.
Instead, low-hanging clouds began drifting slowly through the valley. At the time, I was honestly quite frustrated. I had imagined the lake bathed in warm sunlight, with the surrounding cliffs and mountains fully illuminated.
But nature had other plans.
Looking at the photographs again after returning from the mountains, I realized how much more atmospheric the scene had become. The mist winding its way through the narrow valley, the dramatic rock faces disappearing into the clouds, and the soft light filtering through the gaps in the sky created an almost painterly atmosphere.
The perfectly calm surface of the lake enhanced the scene, reflecting the mountains, trees and fleeting patches of sky. Even the small wooden huts along the shore seemed to disappear into this quiet, misty landscape.
Sometimes, the conditions we initially consider disappointing turn out to be exactly what makes a photograph special.

The George Formby song springs to mind!
“Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob
For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job
Now it's a job that just suits me
A window cleaner you would be
If you can see what I can see
When I'm cleanin' windows”

Oh Flickr sharpening, how I hate you. Oh well, today was just a really great day. I got my first paycheck, bringing me one step closer to getting a new camera! Then I spent a few hours outside trying out a bunch of concepts, and making the flower crown thing I'm wearing in this photo. Some guy awkwardly walked by me while I was wearing it, I just smiled and said hello. :)
please view on black!
When substantially all you have to photograph are Canada Geese and Mallard Ducks, that's what you photograph. Others will be along soon. It really is still just the very end of winter. Spring hasn't even taken its coat off yet.
In a month's time there will be many more bird opportunities, and in two months' time, lots of macro bird and insects. For now, we photograph the loyal creatures who have stuck with us all winter.
When I had concluded taking photos (or so I thought) one night at Disneyland, the view of Sleeping Beauty Castle behind the tree caught my eye. I quickly snapped a series of shots, changing my focal point as I thought two very similar, yet very different shots would be interesting. Here’s one of the photos. You can find the other on DisneyTouristBlog.com.
Which do you prefer? I prefer this one. Unfortunately, due to the constraints of space, etc., the tree could only comprise a small portion of the frame in each shot. Here, I think that works since it's not the focal point. In the other shot, the tree is the more obvious focal point, but is over-powered by the larger area of bokeh.

"When it's not always raining
there'll be days like this...
When there's no one complaining
Everything falls into phase
like the flick of a switch...
When you don't need to worry
When no one's in a hurry
there'll be days like this...
When you don't need an answer
When all the parts of the puzzle
start to look like they fit
Then I must remember
there'll be days like this..."
The city never stopped.
Engines roared.
People hurried.
Life raced ahead without waiting.
Yet in the middle of that restless road rolled a tiny chariot carrying centuries of devotion.
It needed no grand procession.
No crowd.
No announcement.
It simply moved forward,
reminding everyone that faith does not ask the world to stop—
it quietly continues its journey through it.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

When John Batman (who set out from Launceston, Van Diemen's Land) first set eyes on this location on the banks of the Yarra River, as it joined what was to be called Port Phillip Bay, he is said to have remarked, "This will be the place for a village."
And that village has grown and grown and grown ever since 1835. Melbourne now has a population of 5 million people and at current growth rates will overtake Sydney as Australia's largest city within a decade.
Here we see the skyline of the city as the Spirit of Tasmania II approaches Port Melbourne. I wanted to get as wide a shot as possible without a panorama. Perhaps the most striking thing in this skyline is the large number of building cranes. Melbourne truly is a city under 24 hour construction. The sun here is striking the buildings on the foreshore whilst the CBD is somewhat shaded.
One final little bonus. Can you see that speck in the left-hand sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a helicopter (I'll tag the photo so you won't miss it). Of course, this shot is best seen enlarged.
While dodging spots of rain, I managed to nab this shot of a Lake State Railway SD50-2 parked in Walbridge Yard. Wish I could've gotten closer.
When I was reviewing my photographs, I noticed some of the butterflies in the Huntsville Botanical Garden, Huntsville, Alabama (Madison County) had a beautiful blue sheen. I was pleased that I captured a few good images of the Blue Common Buckeye. 2017
I'm back folks! Hope you enjoy this post. I'm trying to get back in the swing of blogging again :)

The Blue Supermoon on the 30th August started being visible just on the side of the Sanctuary of Christ the King (“Cristo-Rei”), located on the south bank of the Tagus River. After a few minutes it was precisely located behind the statue.
This shot was taken from the north bank (Lisbon) at a distance of about 4km.
I had unsuccessfully tried to take this shot a few years ago. This time it worked! 😊
