  • We had an eclipse of the moon the other night. / So I thought I would try to fly to it. But the clouds got in my way, and I lost direction. / Well this is the result after a play with PhotoImpact.

  • Another beautiful car from the 2008 Hot August Nights. I’m off today to find more of these and to visit my brand new grandson. Should be a really good day. Nikon D50, 24-85mm.

  • Sony H5 with M3358 close up lens. Cropped back from 3072×2304 to 1808×1360 and rotated it for better viewing. Yes I know I can up-size it back to 3072×2304 but that way you loose image quality IMO. Hence only available as card or matted print. If anybody wants the original shot or an up-sized version let me know. / / Have a look at my other photos. For example: / / Or browse through one of my categories: / animal / building / cemetery / church / damselfly / dragonfly / drop / fall / flower / france / insect / leaf / light / macro / nature / other / reflection / water / winter

  • In life as well as fishing it’s all about the journey! / As the sunrise burned through the fog early Sunday morning, on Clear Lake near Hunstville, Ontario, two fishermen enthusiastically set out for their favourite fishing spot… / This shot was as a result of an early morning walk in / August 2008 in the fog: part planning, part serendipity. I particularly like the fact that compared to a lot of fog shots it displays color, to I think, an advantage and shows the promise of a beautiful sunny summer day emerging… Nikon D40, Nikkor 18-55mm lens Top Ten Placement in the Nikon D40 Users, Masterpiece challenge, September 2009 / Featured in the Nikon D40 Users group, July 2009 / Top Ten in the Journey or Destination challenge for the First Things group, July 2009 / Featured in the Outsiders, March 2009 / Featured in Canada: The Great White North group September 2008 / Featured in the Nirvana group September 2008 / Avatar for Shots In The Fog group October 2008 / Featured in the ImageWriting group November 2008 / Featured in the 100% group.

  • Morristown, NJ – August 2008 – Shot as a RAW / Suburban Scenes by Mike Savad Squidoo Lenses

  • Taken on an early morning in August 2007, this picture is one of the most popular ones of my jchanders-gallery on deviantArt. So it is high time to share it with you here, too. In the weeks to come I shall do so with those top-shots of my three galleries over there which you do not know yet. After all they are certainly also worth your attention. Again this shot was taken on the grounds of the country-house Groeneveld near Baarn, the wonderful scene of so many of my pictures. Groeneveld, 1st August 2007, 6.24 am / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 50 / F 11, 1/60, ISO 200 Here a later sunrise shot of the same scene, taken earlier in the year though in April 2009. So the sun rises further to the right (=the south):

  • Cradle in Winter. This shot as taken on August 4 2008, with a canon 400d with 18-55mm canon lens!!! 536 views!!!! / / Cradle Snow was featured by Red Bubble….A wonderful honour indeed!!!!

  • Will this be the last sunset for this old barn / taken in Southwestern Saskatchewan / with Olympus E510 14-42 lens Sept 08 / Photomatix 2.3 Lightroom 3.2 / Rhenastarr has honored this image with a Fantastic Poem / this a Collaboration of the two works thank you Marie The Last Sunset And The Old Barn The remnants of the old barn / lit by the setting sun / ablaze in it’s magnificence / Painting the sky with it’s intensity / creates shadows of flashing fire / that spill across the weathered boards / bathing the crumbling giant / awash in remembered glory / The boards are no longer weather worn / and gray / but imbued with the colors of the sky overhead / The haunting sound of cattle lowing / within the confines of it’s mellow memory / An old farm tractor can be faintly heard / as it drives through the doors hanging / loosely upon their rusted hinges / The remembered fragrance of soft hay / still permeates the crumbling shell / cloaked now in the musty odor of time / Ghost figures stroll from out of the / shadows of the past / spotlighted in a misty shimmer / by the glory of the setting sun / work worn hands stroke a days worth / of sweat from non-existent brows / Times of hard work and pride / come alive as the vibrant glow / caresses the splintered edges of what was / Stubbornly the old barn has held fast / Clinging to hope as more walls / tumble to the gound / Lopsided in the continual decay / A silent plea for renewal falls onto the / winds of time / Sad and dejected, tears of years, / stain it’s weathered boards / Where rain, snow and the relentless sun / left their harshness upon it’s aging frame / Time has become the barn’s enemy / a ruthless foe, intent upon his demise / He knows there are not many years left / Soon he will join the dust of the earth / upon which he stands / There he will lay down his last boards / and retreat to memories of glories past / But for tonight he will bask in what / will probably be his Last Sunset Marie Harris (Rhenastarr) June 2009

  • RB’s challenge “Substance of things not seen” inspired many questions of how to convey and/or observe what we cannot see, let alone create a piece of art. / Then, while listening to our CD player shuffle, this song played…Colors of the Wind / You think you own whatever land you land on / Earth is just a dead thing you can claim / But I know every rock and tree and creature / Has a life, has a spirit, has a name / You think the only people who are people / Are the people who look and think like you / But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger / You learn things you never knew / You never knew / Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? / Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned / Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? / Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? / Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? / Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest / Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth / Come roll in all the riches all around you / And for once never wonder what they’re worth / The rainstorm and the river are my brothers / And the heron and the otter are my friends / And we are all connected to each other / In a circle in a hoop that never ends / Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? / or let the eagle tell you where hes been / can you sing with all the voices of the mountain / can you paint with all the colors of the wind / can you paint with all the colors of the wind / How high does the sycamore grow / If you cut it down, then you’ll never know / And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon / For whether we are white or copper – skinned / We just sing with all the voices of the mountain / Need to paint with all the colors of the wind / You can own the earth and still / All you’ll own is earth until / You can paint with all colors of the wind. Not leaving well enough alone, I ventured into googling and found an amazing photograph (hven.swarthmore.edu) of a Wind Bubble and began searching more of the Stellar Winds ~ this all seemed to fit, so I sketched a female figure being blown by the wind and layered it atop the Wind Bubble, editing a little more with the Redfield fractilius plug-in to bring the force of the wind alive with evidence of its power, though unseen… “Thought is the Wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel. ” August Hare

  • No one alive will ever see this again! / I know that I won’t be getting much sleep in August, as my eyes will be on the skies to witness the red planet up close and personal. / Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. It is guesstimated, the next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. / Due to the way Jupiter’s gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the last 5000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again. / The encounter will culminate on August 27th, when Mars comes within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the Moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide, at a modest 75 power magnification. / Mars will look as large as the full Moon to the naked eye and will be easy to spot at the beginning of August as it rises in the east at 10pm and reaching its azimuth at 3am. By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30 am. / Truly a sight that no human being has seen in recorded history, so mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see and watch Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month… / Mars is the security department head, responding with action and self-defense, making you brave, courageous, daring and even fearless, symbolically speaking. Mars placement in your natal birth chart describes how you act on your own behalf. In the body, Mars rules the head, representing SELF; the blood, representing your expressing and receiving; and, muscles representing our ability to move in life. Mars is in charge of how you assert yourself and how you express anger, the side of you that initiates all activity. In astrology, Mars rules the signs of Aries and Scorpio, as the symbol of an aggressive man, personified as the Roman God Mars, the Greek God Ares, or the Mesopotamian God Nergal helmeted with a shield and sword or spear, perhaps mounted, sometimes with a wolf, and all associated with the energies of violence, courage, ardour, tension, fire, iron, the color red, the South direction and Tuesday. / Life on Mars? / Nasa photo of Earth and Mars (wikipedia) edited in photoshop7 with Fractilius filter (Redfield plug-in), saturation and lens flare rendering. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE SKIES! Thanks to CJ for the reminder too ;)

  • Just a simple forest scene on a foggy August morning, knowing that the fog will be rolling in, is good inspiration to be up, and out early. I really enjoy the simplicity, and the beauty of nature. / August 2009 -

  • a glimpse into what we are going through here.. it makes finding these images out in nature worth it.. one set of neighbors(pink house) seem to think that yelling at us and calling us losers..is ok.. in front of my 7 yr old child… ie ..we have the neighbors from hell next door..and are still in the process of leaving this place..hopefully soon..and I would not wish this on anyone…the hell they have put us through.. I just try and show nature at it’s finest and my husband and child and I just am tired of their constant harrasment. I checked and they are not in photo life magazine as a emerging photographer..i am so frustrated…as are my husband and child… note / Many thanks to the Four Police Officers for coming out to see the video and have a chat with our neighbors (pink house)....it has been constant daily harassment from them and Perhaps this will put an end to it..and thank to Nikon for putting the video component into the camera:thumbsup: it has come in handy….have a great weekend..:heart: / Nikon D90

  • Medicine Bowl of healing cures, / Of visions, dreams, and what endures / Beyond the Void of time and space / You bring the healing of every race.
