Well I hope everyone is enjoying their Summer weather where they live, and or Winter weather in the Southern Hemisphere! As I said a few days ago, Summer has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest. I normally do not take too many photos when the light is this bright, especially of waterfalls, but felt I needed to run to Snoqualmie Falls to give it a try.
I am also needing to get more falls of the Snoqualmie, Issaquah area to sell at my friends gallery, Quirkz of Art, located in Fall City. Looks like I might have some prints available at their booth for the Snoqualmie Depot Days later in August. Some local fare should stimulate some sales! With the warm weather for the past few days, the snow melt is really taking off. In about a month, the flow over the falls will probably be a trickle! With the snow melt, that means wildflower season is just around the corner on Mt Rainier!
This is a combination of three exposures (-3, -1, +1) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. With the light as bright, I wanted to get more detail without blowing out the highlights, so I went to the -3 exposure. I also used an ND8 filter as well as my polarizer to remove some of the haze in the sky. I "Dodged and Burned" areas of the image and ran through Topaz Adjust to regain details. I also extensively removed the construction zone from the far side of the river. I did however leave some of the construction workers (see note above) on the makeshift dam that was created to divert the water from their construction wall (which I eliminated!). I then toned down the saturation a bit in Lightroom as well as applied some noise removal, sharpening and a slight vignette.
Thank you for your views, comments and faves. I appreciate your time and support. Have a great week ahead!

Church of St. Gregory of Neocaesarea (or Gregory the Miracle-Worker), 1679. Moscow, 2004
Большая Полянка. Храм святителя Григория Неокесарийского в Дербицах, 1679. Его завершают три ряда килевидных кокошников, «огненных языков». Над ними традиционное луковичное пятиглавие с глухими, то есть без окон, барабанами. В церковной символике пять глав обозначают Спасителя и четырех евангелистов. Кресты увенчаны коронами в знак того, что храм царский. Посадское барокко.

Hallandale Beach (formerly known simply as Hallandale) is a city in southern Broward County, Florida. The city is named after Luther Halland, the son of a Swedish worker for Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad. As of the 2010 census, the population was 37,113.
The city is known as the home of Gulfstream Park (horse racing and casino) and Mardi Gras Casino, a greyhound racing track which hosts the World Classic. It also has a sizable financial district, with offices for a number of banks and brokerage houses, plus many restaurants. Due to the large number of tourists who eventually retire in the city, Hallandale Beach has one of the fastest-growing populations in Broward County and in Metro Miami.
Hallandale Beach, like most of Broward County, had no permanent European-descended population until the end of the 19th century. Seminole Indians, in settlements that lay inland of the Atlantic shore, hunted in the area and gathered coontie roots to produce arrowroot starch. The northern edge of Hallandale Beach (along Pembroke Road) still features noticeable hammocks, points elevated above sea level in the distant past.
Railroad magnate Henry Flagler, owner of the Florida East Coast Railway, recruited Luther Halland, a brother-in-law of Flagler's agents, to found a settlement south of the community of Dania. Halland and Swedish immigrant Olaf Zetterlund touted the frost-free climate and cheap land of the settlement (then named Halland, later changed to Hallandale). Halland constructed a small trading post and became the first postmaster of the small community.
By 1900, the community had slowly grown to a dozen families—seven of Swedish, three of English, and two of African descent. In 1904 the first school was built, and the first church followed two years later. Hallandale was primarily a farming community; the beach was undeveloped and used by the residents only for recreational purposes.
Hallandale was incorporated on 11 May 1927, the eighth municipality in Broward County. By that time, a thriving community of 1,500 residents, with electricity and street lights, was in place. In 1947, Hallandale was reincorporated as the City of Hallandale, allowing it to expand its borders through annexation of nearby unincorporated land lying adjacent to the Atlantic shore. On August 27, 1999, the city officially changed its name to Hallandale Beach.
Hurricane Katrina first made landfall between Hallandale Beach and Aventura, Florida.
Hurricane Irma was originally expected to go right through Hallandale Beach, instead making landfall in Key West, and once again in Naples.

Every November, the height of the retreating monsoon drops a rainy deluge on the East Coast of Sri Lanka – but everyday life goes on.
Although it is called the “Dutch Fort”, Batticaloa Fort was built by the Portuguese in 1628. The rain was falling, and the fortress grounds were uneven and soggy with long grass.
Parts of the fort are in reasonable condition and currently house several government administrative offices. Employees in the administrative offices are not too busy to step outside into the rainy corridors for a chat, a smile, and to race paper boats in the flooded gutters.

Just before leaving Jaipur we visited the Sanganer area, a textile manufacturing area of Jaipur. As we visited textile printing and dyeing companies we also had the opportunity to participate shortly in wedding festivities.

Worker bee working hard or hardly working..
You know when you’re walking around a toy store looking at all the lego you can’t afford and something grabs your attention. Well this happened with the lego mario bee outfit set #71393. I saw the bee hat and thought “yes, I need to build something with that” One afternoon later I ended up with this little guy.

Well over 500 people gathered in Vero Beach, Florida in deep red Indian River County to speak up on Labor Day. Hundreds of "Workers Over Billionaires" protests were held nationwide on Labor Day 2025, with organizers highlighting extreme wealth inequality and advocating for improved conditions for working-class families. Led by organizations like May Day Strong and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the demonstrations target corporate power and the influence of the ultra-wealthy in politics.
