Weekly Photo Challenge: Let There Be Light!

November here in the north is mainly, grey, rainy, dull, dark so the topic Let there be light is on the top of everyone’s minds. We had this beautiful light this morning…these photos are taken at 10:30 and it looks like its ready to go down again…so you can understand the joy of seeing this light.

But also one uses these sources light to have a warm atmosphere during this season of darkness

Sunday Stills: Night Shots

I don’t have that many night shots as I seem to be home then, or I’ve  left the camera home when I am.  Maybe I should do something about it… These shots I found from  Las Vegas  as it is all about nightlife and lights.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

We saw this wonderful sight at the coast of Sri Lanka. One rarely gets to see a blue whale so close. We were told to be quiet  and having listened to the captains orders;  the whale came to check out our boat.  It swam around and under our boat, so we were able to see it up and close –  It was impressive!
