Freitag, der 13. - die Sonne verabschiedet sich!
Bis jetzt ist alles gut verlaufen - schau'n wir mal, was der Abend noch bringt -))
Wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende!
The early morning mist giving an eerie feel to the day with the Silhouette of a man walking into the distance, looking very ghostly. Leaving the seat empty. Would you sit there?
The trees on top of Mt. Zao, Yamagata Pref., Japan covered in ice and snow. They are known as the snow monsters.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
Au départ,il y a eu des feuilles du beau coleus de Clo que Lou a mises dans un petit pot afin qu'elles fassent des racines...J'ai vu grandir le coleus à une fenêtre de mon sous-sol...Nous avons même dû le couper en deux tellement il avait grandi...Le printemps dernier, Lou a planté les deux parties dans le jardin...L'une a dépéri et n'a pas survécu...La partie du haut est devenue ce coleus lequel continuera sa vie, au sous-sol,cet hiver...À l'an prochain...peut-être...

It isn't a fire burning the countryside but a rainstorm is passing far away, between my home and the alps, the air of the sunset is limpid and dry, and the view can go far far away.
This is the stunning, unbelievable, show the sunset of yesterday over the Oltrepo hills.

Un coucher de soleil derrière le Fort ! d’où le choix de la pose longue avec un réglage lumière sur le soleil .
Seul sur site ! ou presque ...
A sunset behind the Fort! hence the choice of the long exposure with a light setting of the sun.
Only on site! or almost ...
Busy skies reflected in British Columbia's Muncho Lake.
Was pretty in color (in comments) but thought it made for a nice black and white as well.
Enjoy this first week of 2016!
A new day, a new year 2017
Healthy and good New Year.

Lipan Point on the south rim of the Grand Canyon is one of the most evocative and meditative lookouts over the Colorado. I was shooting several photos of the sunset when this guy, probably a native, sat on the rock in front of me offering himself as unintentional and occasional model for a slightly different shot than the usual ones. A little human touch in presence of this huge, vast and wild place.

These are not trees but wooden poles of this trabucco.
A trabucco is a massive construction built from wood, which consists of a platform anchored to the rock by large logs of pine of Aleppo, jutting out into the sea, from where two (or more) long arms called antennae stretch out suspended some feet above the water and supporting a huge, narrow-meshed, net (called trabocchetto).
The morphology of the Gargano coast and of Abruzzo determined the presence of two different types of trabucco: the Garganic trabucco is usually anchored to a rocky platform, longitudinally extended to the coastline, from which the antennae depart.
The variant of Abruzzo and Molise, also called bilancia, often insists on shallower coasts and therefore is characterized by the presence of a platform, transversal to the coast, which is connected by a tight bridge made of wooden boards. A bilancia has just one winch, often electrically operating, even when the sea is perfectly calm. Abruzzo bilancia has also a net much smaller than that of Gargano trabucco, another feature that differentiates the two types is the length and number of antennae, more extensive Gargano (also double that of Abruzzo and Molise) in Termoli balances were more than two antennae, Gargano always two or more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabucco

I had a second look at my pictures from Norway and found a few that had been missed and would deserve being published. Here, the Jostedalsbreen glacier in the early morning. More on Norway at www.flickr.com/photos/132192297@N04/albums/72157655975010102.
After 2 days of boring skies, I was treated to an awesome sky for the evening and morning of my last day. As I watched the clouds roiled and rolled into some fantastic shapes.
Undulatus asperatus (or alternately, asperatus) is a cloud formation, proposed in 2009 as a separate cloud classification by the founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society. If successful it will be the first cloud formation added since cirrus intortus in 1951 to the International Cloud Atlas of the World Meteorological Organization. The name translates approximately as roughened or agitated waves
These clouds are most closely related to undulatus clouds. Although they appear dark and storm-like, they tend to dissipate without a storm forming. The ominous-looking clouds have been particularly common in the Plains states of the United States, often during the morning or midday hours following convective thunderstorm activity.

Creating some great captures was a cinch. I managed to get to several locations for multiple compositions during the display. I felt so lucky to have bagged this shot because I was supposed to be in Death Valley that day but because of unseen circumstances I was forced to shoot for 3 days in the same location, which is rare for me, I usually try to moved to a new location from day to day. As a result of my immobility I decided to skip all the arches and to focus on finding hidden compositions that maybe nobody else has seen before. :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a Happy Easter weekend my friends :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.

Ces photographies sont issues de la série d'une cinquantaine de clichés que j'ai pris avant hier. En réalité, il fait un peu plus sombre.

The Frontenac County Court House in Kingston, Ontario, Canada is the Courthouse for Frontenac County, Ontario. The Neoclassical building was designed by Edward Horsey and constructed by builders Scobell and Tossell. Alternation after 1874 fire by John Power added the dome tower. It overlooks City Park to its south, and Lake Ontario beyond. The front of the structure features the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.
The building was constructed between 1855 and 1858 as a judicial and administrative complex with a jail in the rear. In 1980 it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada.
