Another of my sunsets along the river Thames, it was such a fabulous and beautiful evening that this is the third image from the batch that I took!

 

It is all a bit of a hit and miss affair when you are taking shots like this because you are not to sure how the rays are going to come out!

  

Greek Elegaic Mimnermus, Frag 12

 

Ἠέλιος μὲν γὰρ ἔλαχεν πόνον ἤματα πάντα,

οὐδέ ποτ' ἄμπαυσις γίνεται οὐδεμία

ἵπποισίν τε καὶ αὐτῷ, ἐπεὶ ῥοδοδάκτυλος Ἠὼς

Ὠκεανὸν προλιποῦσ' οὐρανὸν εἰσαναβῇ.

τὸν μὲν γὰρ διὰ κῦμα φέρει πολυήρατος εὐνή,

ποικίλη, Ἡφαίστου χερσὶν ἐληλαμένη,

χρυσοῦ τιμήεντος, ὑπόπτερος, ἄκρον ἐφ' ὕδωρ

εὕδονθ' ἁρπαλέως χώρου ἀφ' Ἑσπερίδων

γαῖαν ἐς Αἰθιόπων, ἵνα δὴ θοὸν ἅρμα καὶ ἵπποι

ἑστᾶσ', ὄφρ' Ἠὼς ἠριγένεια μόλῃ·

ἔνθ' ἐπέβη ἑτέρων ὀχέων Ὑπερίονος υἱός.

 

For Helios the Sun’s lot is toil every day and there is never any respite for him and his horses, from the moment rose-fingered Eos (the Dawn) leaves Okeanos and goes up into the sky. A lovely bed, hollow, forged by the hands of Hephaistos, of precious gold and winged, carries him, as he sleeps soundly, over the waves on the water’s surface from the place of the Hesperides [in the West] to the land of the Aithiopes [in the East], where his swift chariot and horses stand until early-born Eos (the Dawn) comes. There the son of Hyperion mounts his other vehicle." -

 

Same evening as the one posted a few days ago, but slightly later, just goes to show on evening like this every few minutes gives you different scenes! This is the river Thames at Erith, Kent a mile from home!

  

An old oak reached out its arms to the sinking winter sun. Starved of warmth.

Another in this series! I did this with a mirror sunk in some water to get the reflection, the grass stem was placed in a tub with earth to hold it up and sprayed with water to get the droplet for those of you that are interested in such things! with the aid of PS as well!

  

There's a little bit rain late afternoon, it stopped couple of hour before sunset. Its a beautiful day end :)

Have a wonderful day/eveing everyone

 

Please View On Black you won't regret it!!

This one is from a truly insane evening late in may. I shot this around half an hour after midnight. The whole evening had already proven to be extraordinary. A blanket of pitch black clouds had created the most magnificent display of colour and drama you can imagine.

 

I knew that the midnight sun would appear in this spot at exactly this time and i wasnt disappointed. The dark clouds darkened the whole scene and the sun was intense in the gap between sea & sky. An extremely difficult shot to pull off because of the enormous dynamic range.

 

This may not seem real, but this is as close to reality as i was able to come... I just love how the sunlight is showing through the blueish water over the rocks.

 

I wish i had a reverse grad for this scene, but i still managed to get some detail out of the sky. It was a sick night...

 

That said, i`m not sure if the photograph itself is any good. So please let me know if it lacks anything...

'obscured sun' On Black rather better.

 

Same viewpoint as this one -- flickr.com/photos/algo/328187097/

 

This was very strange light. It had been sunny, but the clouds were rolling over, soon to be quite dark. This was a moment in between, almost a ghostly light.

As I am going through my shots of last year I found this original, one of those moments when as a photographer it all makes sense, freezing your fingers and toes off and asking yourself "What in gods name am I doing here" well this image is the answer to that, when I held up the camera to take this you get a tingling sensation all over but those three birds was the magical moment I had just one chance at this!

  

The sun is running away from the heavy clouds to be ontime for his sunset.

The sun rises over the Balearic Sea. Didn't have to think too much about this just a beach and some rather nice light.

 

Single image processed in Lightroom.

 

Thanks for looking

Brian

midwinter sun -32° C / 25.6° F and the dog refused to go out ....

The whole Vale had been covered in fog -- for once too much for me to take many photos.

Then on my way home, through the fog, I began to see the sun light up the sky above the hills. Of Course I stopped, and watched it rise slowly, and finally appear. Pure Magic -- above the fog.

"Soon we will be on our way

Say goodbye to yesterday

Soon we will be in the light

Swimming in the open sky

We’ll spread our wings around the stars

Watch the way we drop our scars

We will be kissing the sun

Everybody knows kissing the sun

One and one with the one you’ve chosen

We’ll spread our wings as we get higher

Spread our wings into the fire

We will be kissing the sun

Everybody knows kissing the sun

One and one And the thing explodes"

I took this shot during sunset, with my nikon zoom!

Sun of Day and Endesa of night.

 

......an Endesa the life is day and night !

...shot this while travelling inside the car travelling to the airport... sunrise at Nyaung Shwe - Lake Inle, Myanmar...

Aye, all day long he has no eye for me;

With golden eye following the golden sun

From rose-coloured to purple-pillowed bed,

From birthplace to the flame-lit place of death,

From eastern end to western of his way.
