when I made this forever ago, I just thought I'd share some of my old school edits with you. Make you laugh at how bad I was at editing and whatnot. Hope you enjoy.
As the days become longer, there's a couple of minutes every evening when a sharp sunset ray, reflected off the windows of the residential block close by, pierces across our sitting-room. Sometimes highlighting very interesting objects in its way.
I am reading the new book "Digital Capture After Dark" by Amanda Quintenz-Fiedler and Philipp Scholz Rittermann. The book intrigues me again on the night photography.
But I am born to be a lazy photographer. I do not want to go to the remote or exotic places for night photography. I do not shoot RAW and I do not use a lot of post-production techniques as suggested by the writers. I don't even use DSLR for night shooting as everyone said compact camera has too much noise in the small sensor.
Anyways I just walk in the back alley in my neighbourhood and shoot in JPEG. I am just too lazy to fiddle around the white balance and therefore shoot in the B&W mode in-camera.
My photo club friends always tease me as crazy guy that associates photography with philosophy. Yes there is the philosophy that inspires you to see the beauty in mundane subjects and I believe there is a special charisma of night too. When the night falls, you can see some sort of special beauty even in a back alley.
Do you think so?
Happy weekend!

I am no different to any other woman when it comes to the pursuit of perfection, that elusive goal of looking as good as you possibly can. Not saying it has been achieved here but wow do I feel good about myself in this dress, make up and hair style.
When I went to fill my bird feeders today I noticed a little finch was sitting on one and he let me get vary close. When I went to fill the feeder he was on he flew a couple of feet up into the tree and continued to sing his song while I went about getting everything taken care of. When I was done and backed away he flew back down to the feeder and continued to eat and sing his song. Noticing how brave he was I decided to go in the house, get my camera, and take his picture. It was not until I downloaded the image that I noticed his left foot. Even against such hardship he continued to sing his beautiful song.
When I saw this woman back, the final scene of the extraordinary movie "Paris je t'aime" came to my head.
Cuando vi a esta mujer de espaldas, de repente me vino a la cabeza ese peliculón que es "Paris, je t'aime".
We could meet with a group of girlfriends - have a chat and catch up - have some fun - WELL
Those days are coming back and they will soon be here - be sensible stay safe and those days will be here xx
This pied shag thought that a leaf might be a nice gift. Despite all the efforts and persistence to give the offering, the other shag was not interested in the least. Uploaded three images of this series, because these two birds made me smile.

When driving to Elgol to passed this old church ruins with a beautiful snow-capped mountain behind and just had to stop and photo it.
Cill Chriosd (Christ's Church or "Kilchrist") is a ruined former parish church of Strath , on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It was constructed around the 16th century, replacing an earlier Medieval church on the same location, and was used until 1840 when the Parish church was relocated to Broadford. It lies on the B8083 Broadford to Torrin and Elgol road.
The ruins of the church lie at the top of a small mound, surrounded by the graveyard. It has been described by Miers as "The long, low, rubble ruin of the post- Reformation parish church of Strath has roughly dressed quoins and jambs, and a balustraded burial enclosure added to the east gable in the early 18th century for the Mackinnons."
The church doorway, in the south wall, has splayed jambs and check and square sconsions. The south wall also has three windows, with check and inward splay; the east gable has a similar window, which is now built up. The insides measure 52 feet 9 inches (16.08 m) by 17 feet 6 inches (5.33 m). The side walls are 8 feet (2.4 m) tall and 2 feet 3 inches (0.69 m) deep, with the gables 2 feet 10 inches (0.86 m) in thickness. The church is 30 degrees from due east-west, and has no openings in the north and west walls.
The church is the remains of the parish church of Strath, including the cleared villages of Boreraig and Susinish.
The location is thought to have a heritage of Christian worship dating back to the 7th century, when St Mael Ruba preached from nearby Cnoc na-Aifhreann ("hill of the mass"). The original Parish church for Strath was located at Ashiag, and was founded by St Mael Ruba in the 7th Century AD; the new parish church was relocated to this location in the later Middle Ages. The present ruined church probably replaced the first medieval stone church in the 16th century. Written records for the church date back to 1505, although the earliest records only give a list of the names of the ministers. In 1505 the chaplain Kenneth ("Kensoch") Adamson succeeded John MacGillebredison, before being replaced by John Johnson, and then John Ronaldson in 1508 after Johnson's death.
On 19 June 1627, Neil Mackinnon became the first Protestant minister of the church, however he "is remembered primarily for his meanness and his greed". During his appointment ceremony he 'gave his grite and solemn oath that he all treulie according to his knowledge, give up the Clerk of Councell the names of all the Papists he knew within the Isles'. It is recorded that he only allowed his workmen one meal on Sundays (rather than two, as for other days) as they were resting. However, one Sunday two hungry workmen waited until after MacKinnon had finished preaching and had left the church before setting to work with their foot plough. Following this, the preacher allowed them two meals every day.
Cill Chriosd was replaced by a new parish church in Broadford in 1840.
Records from 1913 show that there were a pair of unusual gravemarkers in the graveyard - one dedicated to Chief Lachlan Mor and carrying "obscure hieroglyphics", the other possibly dating from the pre-Christian era. However, both have since vanished. Most graves are connected to Clan MacKinnon, and are from the 18th and 19th centuries. One memorial, in the inner wall of the burial enclosure, is for "Charles Third", who was apparently born in Corry near Broadford as a MacKinnon but later died in Australia after emigrating. A worn medieval slab carved with an ornate cross is located in the south corner of the graveyard.
The churchyard also has an amorial stone, as well as a possible fragment of the necking and lower arms of a crude cross, with one side plane and the other side bearing two animals carved into a relief on the lower portion. The graveyard also contains a slab of slate with a foliated cross, with one side preserved but the other side worn away.

Falling Spring Falls. Covington, VA
On Friday evening, I decided to stop by this waterfall on my way down Virginia. But I had so much fun looking at foliage in Shenandoah that I was going to be late. I was getting bummed out as the sun set, and I still wasn't there, figuring I lost my chance for a photo. But when I got there, I was happy I still did go.

When learning of this special Amtrak run from Denver to Longmont on BNSF's Front Range Sub, I was hoping for a nice shot of the train backdropped by the flatirons. Alas, Mother Nature had other plans as a low ceiling of clouds completely obscured the mountains. With no flatirons visible, the special Amtrak move passes through Niwot along the Diagonal highway that connects Boulder and Longmont.
