The grand staircase, this time shot with only available light/mirk for a more unsettling ‘Silent Hill’ look. Just a little light tone mapping to avoid burn-out and retain shadow detail, otherwise this is all natural – including the small scrap of very blue wallpaper in the bottom left.
The spiral in this fractal reminded me of a cyclone and the swirling winds. / /

An early morning cyclist on the Horneboeg Heath at Hilversum in the Netherlands Hilversum, 5th October 2007, 8.10 am / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 105 mm / F 34, 1/200, ISO 200 Featured in “Your Magic Place” and “Bicycle”. Here a later early-morning shot taken at the same place under very different cloud conditions:
The sky above the Horneboeg Heath at Hilversum shortly after sunrise on an October morning in 2007, so full of contrails as you seldom see them even here where the airfield of Amsterdam Schiphol is so near.

Studies going as far back as that of Goethe in the early 1700s have understood that pale green – the colour of new plant growth – is the most psychologically positive and restful colour… So I wonder what the authorities were trying to do to the already fragile minds of patients locked in shocking pink, electric green, and custard yellow cells? The more I look at my shots, the more clues to inherent barbarity I begin see in the treatment of vunerable people.
As I promised you here another shot from my sunrise trip to the Southern Heath near Hilversum. Indeed was rewarded more than abundantly for my early rising that morning. The low night temperature, the stillness of the air and the clear sky had caused a good level of low morning morning mist in the open land of the heath (on next morning I was going to discover that it was even mistier in polderland – but please keep patient). / Ah, that morning sun! Filling your soul with its magnificent light! Ever so invigorating to experience it, but also so hard a challenge in June! After all the sun rises here at about 5.15 am at the moment (in autumn, winter, and spring the challenge is a lot easier!). But the reward: an empty heath! Just you and the sun! And the rabbits of course! Though most oft hem had sprinted to their covers! Lucky ones: they can enjoy all the sunrises! May we conclude: Be a rabbit! Rise early! After all did not my mother teach me already: “Early to be, early to rise, makes a man happy, wealthy and wise.“ / Let me add. Not being a rabbit I am so grateful to you all! Without you I would never have discovered these sunrises and developped the new habit of sunrise-chasing, but would just be keeping my head on the pillow or piddling around the house. Whenever I tell some friend that there is nothing like a June sunrise at 5 am, they find me pretty crazy. What do they know? They do not have all my wonderful fans on deviantArt en Redbubble who make me go out so early and who enjoy my pictures afterwards. Well, if I succeed to get some good shots. So here is the challenge! Near Hilversum, 12th June 2009, 5.36 am / Nikkon D80, Nikkor 18-200 at 130 mm / F 16, 1/80, ISO 100
Well, at least the SECURITY department at Arkham has a better record than the REHABILITATION department… My second entry in the Batman Comp.

I was out about 5 hours on that 23rd December , 3 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon – and came home with with some 400 pics. Most of them you will never see, as I am extremely selective. But there are quite a few still which are worth showing here, and so here is another one, taken on the Horneboeg Heath at Hilversum just about 10 minutes after I had left home (we are very lucky and live close to that heath). The hoarfrost was less heavy than the day before, but it was still in good quality on north-lying positions where the sun had not eaten it up on the later hours of the day before. And there was mist which had not been there the day before. Someone actually said to me: this day is nothing like yesterday! Why go out! Poor chap! He did not see IT! Hilversum 23rd December 2007, 9.59 am (as you know the sun rises late on that day) / Nikon D 80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 70 mm / F 13, 1/80, ISO 200
The duck in this photo was asleep with one eye open and standing on one leg. The photo was taken at Baldwin Swamp, Bundaberg / /

view larger! please note, this painting is made entirely out of respect for the late actor. I painted this out of honour, I think this image is incredibly iconic and wanted to encapsulate that, despite his sad and untimely death, Heath Ledger will go on to become an icon and I hope you understand this image is entirely in good will. not for sale cos of the copyright which I completely understand, merely here to say ‘look! isnt it cool?’ :)
Photo taken in the Currimundi Conservation Reserve – wish there were more places like this left on the Sunshine Coast
