Iglesia, San Francisco

Iglesia San Francisco

Iglesia San Francisco, Granada, Nicaragua. With late afternoon lighting, the colors on this old church were warming up nicely. All colors here are earth tone. I used the stairway to lead your eye to the door. The stairway railings, pillars and doorway are wonderfully detailed in the warm lighting.

Dama Hermosa

Granada_4286

 

Dama hermosa

Ella tiene un corazon para el amor

Con sus oídos ella escucha.

Sus labios te darán la verdad.

Su nombre es bella dama

Su nombre es bella dama

Su nombre es bella dama …

Con manos tan suaves.

Ella te calmara

Su voz cuando habla.

Es una voz con amabilidad.

bella dama

bella dama

Ella es el amor de mi vida

Ella es mi esposa

Ese gran arbol de la vida

Que permanece para siempre

Ella es como una roca

No importa la hora

En el viejo reloj

Ella es hermosa dama

Ella es hermosa dama

Ella es hermosa dama

Ella es el amor de mi vida

Ella es mi esposa

Ese gran arbol de la vida

Que permanece para siempre

Su nombre es bella dama

Su nombre es bella dama …

bella dama

Lady Beautiful

Granada_4286

 

Lady Beautiful

She has a heart for love

With her ears she listens

Her lips will give you truth

Her name is lady beautiful

Her name is lady beautiful

Her name is lady beautiful…

With hands so gentle

She will soothe you

Her voice when she speaks

Is a voice with kindness

lady beautiful

lady beautiful

She is the love of my life

She is my wife

That great tree of life

That stands forever

She is like a rock

No matter the hour

On the old clock

She is lady beautiful

She is lady beautiful

She is lady beautiful

She is the love of my life

She is my wife

That great tree of life

That stands forever

Her name is lady beautiful

Her name is lady beautiful…

lady beautiful

lady beautiful

Mountain Fire

_MG_0778_4338

The winds were blowing out the North yesterday at a brisk pace. The town of Jinotega, Nicaragua is nestled down in a valley surrounded by the mountains. This event occurred on the Eastern side of Jinotega on the mountain slopes.

It is a common practice that occurs every year in March to set fires to burn the vegetation. It is a very dry time of year as you can see by the color of the grass. No homes were burnt.

AS a photo opportunity I saw some potential. Grabbing my camera I headed to a small hill. Jinotega is infested with wires crisscrossing the streets. So being on the hill eliminated that problem.  There is a gully running the side of the mountain here that gave some depth and a focal point. Three trees surrounded by smoke and fire on the edge of the gully add to the element of this composition. Then I added a few casa at the bottom to present a sense of danger. Will the wind shift to the East and send the fire roaring through the homes

The beauty Of A Composition

Banff_3627presets

An aimlessly drifting cloud. Early morning lighting. The patches of light highlight this composition . You can pick up on the patches of lighting going up the mountainside in two locations here. There is small detail here involving the morning light. Morning light is cool. Evening light is warm. A patch of shadow dominates the central of the composition. But there is detail available in that dark area along with the light touching certain elevated parts.

Sinclair Pass (el. 1,486 m or 4,875 ft) is a high mountain pass in Kootenay National Park between the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers to the northeast of present-day Radium Hot Springs in the province of British Columbia

 

So enjoy the beauty of this composition.

Clouds and Mountains

 

RockyMountains_4056

There is a unique feeling observing clouds below the mountain peaks. It gives you a whole different prospective of your surroundings. It means you have moved up the ladder higher in the sky. Maybe someday you could even walk in the clouds. Now that would be cool.

Look Up

Banff_3904a

I had just finished a couple hours photographing along the Minniwanka Lake shorelines. I was walking back to the car lot. I looked up to a magnificent view of a mountain peak.

The various layers of this mountain are well define. To compose this composition I used the roadside trees to guide your eyes to the main subject, the mountain peak.

Along The Logging Road

 

Rockyountains_3594

This is a view of St Mary’s Lake  BC. It is a view of the back end of the lake. My brother Bob and I turned on to a gravel logging road. The road climbed ‘higher and higher till we were traveling above St. Mary’s Lake. As is always the case on these roads, you are enclosed by trees on either side of you. When an open towards the lake appears,you can pull over and photograph.

Now here we have a scene of tremendous depth. The valley between the mountains goes to infinity. The shadows are deep. Beautiful clouds to fill the background.
