the splendour ....
the sheer majesty of it all,
and I wonder how I could trouble my mind
with day to day nonsense
underneath such grand drama
When I opened this RAW file it was a black blob with a blue wing and red eye. My goal was to build a work flow that would get more detail and never planned to post it due to the background. Any critique you have, I would love to here it.
Quando ho aperto questo file RAW era un blob nero con un'ala blu e un occhio rosso. Il mio obiettivo era quello di creare un flusso di lavoro che avrebbe ottenuto maggiori dettagli e mai pianificato di postarlo a causa dello sfondo. Qualsiasi critica hai, mi piacerebbe qui.

Fishing boat with fishermen's equipment on the river bank in the morning at Karnafuli river (Kaptai). When fishermen fish in the fog-covered river in the winter morning, an unearthly environment is created. It's like a heavenly morning.
The name of the traditional river of ancient Chittagong is Karnafuli. This river is an immortal witness of thousands of years of history. Starting from the eastern hills, this river has merged with the Bay of Bengal on the wide western side.
The scenery of the two banks of Karnafuli is amazing. Everyone's eyes will be closed. The only hydropower plant in Bangladesh has been built on Karnafuli.
Chittagong, the holy land of Bar Auliya and the green land of natural beauty, has developed on the banks of Karnafuli. One of the main reasons for this beauty of Chittagong is Karnafuli. The port built on the banks of this river is economically important. Chittagong port is very old. The river is losing its romance. The river is only being attacked because of the profiteering people.
কর্ণফুলী নদীতে (কাপ্তাই) ভোরে নদীর তীরে জেলেদের সরঞ্জাম সহ মাছ ধরার নৌকা। শীতের ভোরে জেলেরা যখন কুয়াশা ঢাকা নদীতে মাছ ধরে তখন অপার্থিব পরিবেশ তৈরি হয়। এ যেন স্বর্গীয় এক সকাল।
প্রাচীন চট্টগ্রামের ঐতিহ্যবাহী নদীর নাম কর্ণফুলী। হাজার হাজার বছরের ইতিহাসের অমর সাক্ষী এই নদী। পূর্ব পাহাড় থেকে শুরু হয়ে বিস্তীর্ণ পশ্চিম পাশে গড়িয়ে গড়িয়ে বঙ্গোপসাগরের সাথে মিলে গেছে এই নদী।
কর্ণফুলীর দুই তীরের প্রাকৃতিক দৃশ্য এক কোথায় অসাধারণ। যে কারও চোখ জুড়াবেই। কর্ণফুলীর ওপরে গড়ে উঠেছে বাংলাদেশের একমাত্র জলবিদ্যুৎ কেন্দ্র।
কর্ণফুলীর তীরে গড়ে উঠেছে বার আউলিয়ার পুণ্যভূমি, প্রাকৃতিক সৌন্দর্যের লীলাভূমি চট্টগ্রাম। চট্টগ্রামের এই সৌন্দর্যের অন্যতম প্রধান কারণ হলো কর্ণফুলী। অর্থনৈতিকভাবে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ হলো এ নদীর তীরে গড়ে ওঠা বন্দর। চট্টগ্রাম বন্দর বহু পুরোনো।
নদী তার রোমান্টিকতা হারিয়ে ফেলছে। মুনাফালোভী মানুষের কারণে নদী কেবল আগ্রাসনের শিকার হচ্ছে।
মানবিক ও শৈল্পিক দৃষ্টিতে তার রূপ উপভোগ কিংবা নদীজীবনের স্বাদ গ্রহণের রুচি আজ হারিয়ে যাচ্ছে। কান পাতলে কর্ণফুলী নদী’র গুঞ্জন আজও শোনা যাবে, চোখ মেলে তাকালে পাহাড়-অরণ্য-উপত্যকা ভেদ করে ছুটে চলা স্রোতস্বিনীর সৌন্দর্যও দেখা যাবে।কিন্তু সে কান আর প্রাণ কোথায় আজ? প্রয়োজনের ক্ষুধিত চাহিদার থাবার নিচে সবই মিথ্যা হয়ে যাচ্ছে। হয়তো কর্ণফুলীর গুঞ্জন আদতে তার ক্রন্দন আজ। হয়তো দেশের অন্য নদীর ক্ষেত্রেও এ-ই সত্য।
This raccoon seems to be enjoying a good scratch. I found the image while going through the archives. It brought a smile so I decided to share it with my Flickr friends. Hopefully, it will bring you a smile, too.
When someone is inspired to create a Poem, he/she is uplifted!!
When someone is uplifted, he/she is temporarily found in a very original, private, personal world of Beauty (or not…), inspiration, and refinement, extreme pleasure (or not…). He/she feels strong emotions and sensations, while creating his/her poem; a huge creativity!!
Poetry in Nature is the creation of Mother Nature’s upliftment!! Which creates enchantment, creativity and inspiration in certain humans..
Lake Genval in Autumn is a Pure Poetry!
When you go out past Kilchoan, towards Sanna on the most westerly edge of Ardnamurchan you enter a very remote, dark and barren land of mountain, moor and bog. The volcanic rock is largely black, but everywhere the dark rock split with patches of white where white quartz has bled through the molten rocks. Seeing this prompted me to look for mountain hares in their winter garb. After all the landscape would appear to be ideal habitat for them, although a large eagle population might cull their numbers. Yet, I haven't seen one so far (this is an old picture from Manchester days). There are some over towards the east in the Cairngorms ( I last saw one near Glendoebeg) but none I am aware of in Ardnamurchan. I wonder if they could be re-introduced in Ardnamurchan?
It was doomed from the start. They made magic together for one night before he gave her the cold shoulder and she just melted away.

Thanks so much for your visits and comments.
When I spotted this colourful grass, I thought of my filled with love and passion photography, of being able to see creative side of life and happiness, and of being able to show you the energy displayed by nature, the power of colour!
Color have always been recognized for its symbolic power. Most of you know that red is associated with love and passion, where orange with creativity and energy. Some may know that yellow is the color of the life, energy and happiness, but only of few of us know that purple symbolizes wealth and power, and green-health and growth.

Explore #477 - October 22nd
When the male is ready to mate, the sperm is transferred from the opening of the primary genital on the 9th segment close to the end part of the abdomen to the subsidiary genitalia situated on the segment 3 and 2, which is close to the base of its abdomen. In the beginning of the process, the male holds the female with his claspers on the back of the female’s head, while the female twists her abdomen forwards and downwards to collect the sperm from the secondary genitalia of the male Damselfly. This specific position is referred as “wheel” or “heart”, and the termed used when they indulge in this process is “to be in cop”.
The female Damselflies, when ready to deposit eggs, hover around the water body to find suitable habitat for egg laying. Some also lay eggs inside the tissue of plants. For laying eggs in the water, the female Damselflies may submerge under the water for at least 30 minutes, and at intervals, climb on the aquatic plant’s stem. During this period, the male guards the female and the eggs from other rival male Damselflies.
When I looked at the photo on my Mac at home it did not look as dark as it does here on my job computer. Difficult with different screens which are not calibrated...
Well anyway, it was a lovely evening :)
Things are as ever slowly changing..
My illness that is now being treated with double beta blockers is not yet responding well and some of my ordinary PVCs have changed to interpolated PVCs which can eventually lead to Cardiomyopathy with severe and chronic anxiety being the root cause.
I don’t have control over my anxiety and Flickr is just one thing I can leave off at least. I have had some lovely mails asking me to just take a break then come back and believe me they are so heartwarming and mean more than you will ever know.
The place I am at now is to still leave my account open as it is paid up until April 2024. Comments for new photos are turned off and shall remain off as I am too unwell to leave comments as they take me ages to formulate and I get so tired and stressed.
I intend flooding my Flickr account with photos from my two previous Flickr accounts as I get a better idea of whether I myself consider them worthy of uploading to my new online account with a couple of online accounts instead of mixed with thousands of other photos on my PC

I shall hopefully start to fave but not be commenting on photos on Flickr as I not well enough to at the moment but I haven’t given up on getting better although I am unsure how…
I wish everyone well and am still browsing all your wonderful inspirational photography !

When I saw the Owl theme of “Looking Close on Friday,” I immediately thought of my earrings. Maybe you'll like it...or not. Both ok :-)
Looking Close on Friday's theme: Owl
When cool nights following on warm days, lots of humidity is condensing in the air, producing dewdrops on all the surfaces. This is happening in meadows and fields too, were in the morning any single plant is covered with tiny little water drops. When the sun is standing high enough, bringing each of these droplets to shine, it looks like millions of diamonds. An absolutely sublime view for early risers, because in a minimum of times the sun is drying off everything again.
Wenn kühle Nächte auf warme Tage folgen, kondensiert sehr viel Feuchtigkeit in der Luft und es bilden sich Tautropfen an allen Oberflächen. Dies geschieht auch auf den Wiesen und Feldern, wo jede einzelne Pfanze am Morgen von winzig kleinen Tröpfchen bedeckt ist. Wenn dann die Sonne hoch genug steht, und jedes einzelne Tröpfchen zum Leuchten bringt, wirkt das wie millionen Diamanten. Ein absolut grandioser Anblick für den Frühaufsteher, denn in kürzester Zeit hat die Sonne alles wieder abgetrocknet.

When we see a small fishing boat safe in the harbour, it looks big enough. When we view it from the coast near the huge cliffs of Moher, then view the massive Atlantic ocean, it looks so small and vulnerable. Thank you dear fishermen
When my Crabapple tree starts showing its new red leaves in spring, I can't help but be thankful for nature's renewal.
"Spring
The hopeless hope is one ..
of the early harbingers of spring,
bespeaking an innocent belief that the world might right its wrongs and reverse its curses
simply because the trees are coming into leaf."
~ Aleksandar Hemon
This is a shot of a windflower from Friday's photo session with my new Helios 44-2. Unfortunately there wasn't that much light since sun was already pretty low, but I think that exactly this lack of light creates a certain atmosphere. Hope you like it!
I took this picture at Gardasee Italy by sunset with my phone and covered it with a texture of Lenabem-Anna J.
thank s Anna

Thank you for all the views, faves, and comments.
When getting in Hoher Kasten I saw from the lift this beautiful hill. What there within this little house?
When we grew up, images were telling stories and showing them. Now they’re all into selling. They’ve changed under our very eyes. They don’t even know how to do it anymore. They’ve plain forgotten. Images are selling out the world. And at a big discount :-)

HBW!! and this quote is from well prior to the introduction of AI

when you realize something truly remarkable is happening and disappearing right in front of you, if you can pass a camera before your eye, you’ll tear a piece of time out of the whole, and in a breath, rescue it and give it new meaning.
