Time for another b/w image....here's Alaska's Virgin Falls, a small segmented waterfall that had tight limited access, which isn't uncommon with waterfalls (dangit). Would have liked some other perspectives on it but if I waded towards the side falls I would have been too close, and slippery steep rainforest cliffs surrounded it packed with foliage that blocked any view. Even to get this perspective was a thrill. That's one reason shooting falls is so fun, and challenging. I can understand why many have made capturing these natural wonders their primary objective. Truly enchanting places, often with a difficult puzzle to find and shoot a unique angle. Fun!

Thanks for your visit and any comments, faves or suggestions. Always appreciated.
Certain times it happens that I decided to review some older photos with the idea to improve them through the new post processing technique I've learned.This one of the Etretat Cliffs is a typical example, the previous version was apocalyptic and spectacular enough, but the realization was raw with a lot of small particulars I didn't like. This one is the new image, 2016 edition, in a color process I really like more than before and with some small corrections of details I've always noted in the old one. Anyway, this is one of the big arches of the Etretat Cliffs, it is almost the sunset, and the light is turning to red and warm tones. The sunlight is reflected from the sea on the bottom of the clouds, everything gets a blue/purple tone, even the white rocks of the cliffs are colored in pink and the scene assumes a look worthy of a fantasy tale. My luck has lured a lazy seagull flying from a rock to another in search of a place where to pass the night, why not to frame everything in a single dream?

Here's another composition from my last trip to La Jolla. The photo gods were kind to us this evening and it turns out there where 4 flickr members all there at the same time taking advantage of the moment, that night on the reef. Someone needs to come up with a Flickr hat or armband or something :)
Ya know, It just realized. It's funny that I'm talking about new hats after the story on my last post. If you haven't read the description than please do you might get a chuckle out of it. :)
Thank you for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week. :)

There are no poppies blooming yet this year where I live, but here's one from last Spring for this week's Monochrome Bokeh Thursday.

I posted several photos of this sunset last year but this one didn't make the cut a the time. Seems worth sharing now. Taken at 6:39 pm ;-)
"Silver and gold
And it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay
As thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine
Chill you to the bone
'Cos the mandolin wind
Is the melody that turns
Your heart to stone..."

I was driving past in my car when I spotted this raccoon headed for an open garbage can at a Michigan Metropark. When I stopped and rolled down my window, he paused and stared at me for just a moment before diving into the can. Seconds later, he was on his way, making a beeline toward a nearby wooded area with a plastic garbage bag in tow. These garbage cans need lids, methinks.
This kid was a demonstrator for bubble guns being sold from a booth at a county fair in Michigan earlier this month.

INDIEN, Khajuraho (Tempel)
Most Khajuraho temples were built between 950 and 1050 by the Chandela dynasty. Historical records note that the Khajuraho temple site had 85 temples by 12th century, spread over 20 square kilometers. Of these, only about 20 temples have survived, spread over 6 square kilometers. Of the various surviving temples, the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple is decorated with a profusion of sculptures with intricate details, symbolism and expressiveness of ancient Indian art
The Khajuraho temples feature a variety of art work, of which 10% is sexual or erotic art outside and inside the temples. Some of the temples that have two layers of walls have small erotic carvings on the outside of the inner wall. Some scholars suggest these to be tantric sexual practices.] Other scholars state that the erotic arts are part of Hindu tradition of treating kama as an essential and proper part of human life, and its symbolic or explicit display is common in Hindu temples. James McConnachie, in his history of the Kamasutra, describes the sexual-themed Khajuraho sculptures as "the apogee of erotic art":

I went this morning to get a shot of the sunrising behind them, but liked this shot better. Those are power lines in the background and I was going to photoshop them out, but I think they add a sense of being tied down. As always let me know what you think.
What about this view of Vancouver

This is a salt mill at St. Monans on the Fife coast in the east of Scotland. The mill was used to provide power for salt production from the River Forth. I've geo-tagged the location. Look at it on google maps and you can still see all the salt pits on the shore.

The avocet reminds me a bit of a black-necked stilt with their long legs, but it is their amazing bills that makes them so unique (at least for me!) and sets them apart. This was one of the first frames I was able to capture of him - he kept moving to the right and I lost the blue background of the lake as he moved. This was taken at the Monte Vista NWR in south central Colorado. This refuge is known as a stop over for migrating sandhill cranes.
Thank you so much for your view and comments!
An early morning spotlight on my favorite row of trees in Midden Delfland. They planted a new row of trees last year, possibly meant to replace the old trees in a couple of years.

I asked this gentleman if I could take a picture of him. Sure, he said, it's just that I'm a bit stressed. I've stolen a pair of sunglasses from a guy and I think he's looking for me right now. I thanked him and went the other way.
I hiked so many times to Second beach last summer. It is an amazing place. This is one of the pictures taken at twilight when the stars started to come on in the sky.
For this shot the settings are f/4, ISO 2000, at 20 sec.

Got some golden light on the flooded Red River this night. That is a house boat across the river at the flooded Boat Dock on the Shreveport side of the river. Boat ramps and parks under water.
