Fifty-Ninth Collection

This was shot at the most famous temple in Kathmandu, Nepal. The staircase and the beautiful gigantic wooden door captured my eye and made a very good frame for photographing it. I converted it into black and white to add more vintage and raw look to the whole photograph.

In Venice the "sotoportego" is a kind of gallery which, passing under a building, connects a street (in Veniza it is called "calle") with another street or with a square (in Venice "campo"). Often the sotoporteghi are anonymous passages, sometimes they are small masterpieces. Like this one of the "Corte Nova" which, in the Castello district, connects "Corte Nova" with calle Zorzi.

My peonies were not abundant this year, but the bush did create this glorious pink bloom. I love the 12ProMax ability to do close-up focus. And rain drops are always a fave. Even if created with a spray bottle.

Situated in the north of Singapore facing the Johor Straits, Sembawang Park is a tranquil park away from the bustle of the city. With a beautiful beach side and a stunning view, it is a popular fishing ground and a great place for family and friends to get together. Blending nature with history, this calm and serene park gives visitors a glimpse of Singapore’s naval heritage such as the Sembawang Shipyard, which was a British Naval Base from 1938 to 1968.

Island Magic<br />
This photo was captured as the cruise ship I was on, was passing the island of Kauai, HI. The island at this angle was fairly nondescript and unimpressive until the setting sun hit it just right. Then it was jaw dropping. It was amazing to watch the light show unfold before my eyes. The photo was made with my iPhone 11Pro Max from a moving boat and hand held!

15 minutes outside of Calgary, Alberta is western Canada’s largest outdoor amusement park.  My son and I had just spent a very fun day riding all the rides and eating way to much cotton candy when I captured our favourite ride bathed in evening sun and reflected on the pond.  A perfect capture to end a perfect day!

“Experience is the father of wisdom.” As per this Belgium saying, I experienced the wisdom while walking on the Belgium streets and passing by this Cathedral surrounded by the “Angel Clouds” with my family on my elder daughter’s birthday! Collaboration of a beautiful monument with the sky’s imagination.

Gerbera Daisies are one of my favourite flowers growing in my garden this year so I’ve taken many photos to capture their beauty.  While the full color version was beautiful, I decided to try a softer, black and white version for this challenge.

The birds are silent in their humble nest.<br />
Then comes the Master Artist with his brush,<br />
And paints with brilliant touch the golden west.” <br />
