What a delight it was to open my page and find you viewing and sharing your thoughts and comments with me about “Dunajec castle II”, my dear Sirus. I was glad to find this place in such unusual weather conditions. The castle with a sky above as if brewing up for a storm looked mysterious surrounded by the dark menacing waters …
Thanks Sirus for your great comments on my old waterfall picture. You were the only one to see that I had 'made' the old colour, to soften the image. It was a really old negative which I scanned it, but the black and white looked too harsh, so I softened the tones. Thanks for noticing! Have a good weekend! Kate
Hi Sirus
Lovely to see you as always! The sculpture photo was taken early evening in London. I'm glad you like it that I've kept it dark and quiet. The crescent on her hip is actually the end of a dolphin's tail. The original was in portrait form and I just cropped it and left the result like this. They are both on top of dolphins and a column base outside the old church. The ivy just finished it off. Kate
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Churchill
Thanks Sirus! Fortunately when I took that photo of Sunny Seaweed yesterday, the sun was out - and the colours just buzzed! Glad I captured the moment and that you enjoyed the shot! Kate
I hope your eyes are gleaming with delight, Sirus. Here it comes - winter season with a blanket of pristine white snow on the ground, on the abstract looking trees giving us quite an intimate atmosphere. I am very pleased mountain “winter kingdom” caught your eye and I appreciate your thoughtful comments...
Hiya Sirus!
Thanks for seeing exactly what I wanted with my White on White photo. I can always count on you to know what I want to convey. White, simple and clean! Thanks for coming along - I appreciate your feedback very much, Kate
thanks loads for your comments. its always super appreciated. and yeah, i make a bunch of layouts with my friends (they do the coding), one of these days i'll get paid for it lol.
Thank you again Sirus - I knew you would see why I had to take the tin in the bronze scuplture. It is such a lovely sculpture of a young lady who is holding a basket of herring and she is dressed as in the early 1900s. Sadly there will always be those who don't appreciate her beauty. Thanks for coming in to see it, Kate
Thank you much Sirus!! You really boost my confidence with the camera and my instincts making comments like you did for "stillness... "...I sometimes have a very dark mood where I need to get away with a camera and take pictures of anything and everything that seems to fit my mood. no one talking to you or expecting anything out of you...just hearing music in your ears and looking for what you feel in the world outside you...clicking the camera in every angle you find it. Thanks again dude!
Great to know you do not suffer from vertigo and gathered up courage to admire the spectacular views of the impressive Garganta del Chorro, one of the most significant nature spots in Spain because of its spectacular shape. El Chorro has some very steep cliffs. They are 180 meters high. A walking path - the Camino del Rey - along the cliff was made in 1921, to give an impression of the astounding size of these cliffs. Today it is closed to the public and the only way to admire the ravine is either from the top of the surrounding mountains or from a train going north from Málaga.
Hi Sirus!
Thanks so much for your compliments on my lily photo. It was the serrated edges which attracted me and made me do the photo this way. You knew - as ever! Kate

Hi Sirus
I don't blame you for not identifying the cloud! I washed it out too much in PhotoShop and was too tired (had a horrid day) to start again! It actually was a cloud right above that branch - I just cut out the whole thing. Ah well, still learning, but I do find it difficult to do something exciting! Thanks for your welcome comments on Gift for the Moon - as always, you are spot-on! Kate
Hello Sirus! So glad you like every mirror tells a story. You gave me the idea and all along, you have been so right in your comments on my pics - I had to show my gratitude! So glad you like the story. The great aunt was called Kate as well (like me) and she was my favourite as a child. She taught me so many things! Kate
Hi Sirus!
Glad you are finding my latest efforts fun! The Trolley in the water is something I've wanted to take for ages, but it has been too dark! I guess I am about 6 or 7 metres above low water as I wait for my bus home. There's a very small wall (used to be no rail, but there is one now) - and I just hang over it to look at the water, the ships and the birds. All my friends on the bus know what a mad person I am - so they just shout when the bus arrives! lol. Happy days ahead! Kate
Hi Sirus! You are right - the gallery/theatre is chic - and I love it! I think more people were upset because it was built on a former open car-parking area, rather than the aesthetics of the skyline! It is a very nice buillding. The sky was just right for the photo - blue or grey just didn't work as well. Nice to see you! Kate
Hello Sirus,
Thanks for your input on 'Boundry Groundcover'. I am just starting out on this whole photography thing. It was a test shot anyways... but you are right there is no real focus to it and it is a little too busy.. Thanks again!
Hi.
Thank you for commenting my "Frozen boat". The idea of leaving only water and boat is good, but you know, I like the nature as it is, without excessive "improvements". And "photoshoping" is not a real photography. FYI, we have the "Rework" category for that kinda works.
Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I do not get to your pictures as soon as you post them, I apologize. I try. Also if I do not respond for awhile it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you, it just means I'm really tied up with life.
Hello Sirus!
Thanks for your nice comment on 'Riverwalk'. That place has so many tropical green lush plants...that border the river. It is beautiful!! Thanks again!!
Hi Sirus.
Thanks for stopping bye,and commenting on Newcastle\Quayside\Black&White,l really appreciate it.
PS.Thanks very much,for adding me as your friend,Brian.
Thanks Sirus - I'm glad you liked the Stained Glass Canopy picture. I was on a steep path, so I was beneath the roots of the trees above me. I certainly felt small and the trees felt so large! Glad you could share it, Kate

Hello Sirus
You have analyzed my Wild Sea very accurately! It is an emotional journey across the sea in our ferry, on a wild night. The land is out of reach for the moment and it is frightening in the wild seas. The life-belt is within reach, but everyone knows that will not really save us! Thank you for understanding my work so well, Kate
Thanks Sirus - it was lovely to get your comments on my Eclipse of the Moon photo. I was just so lucky - the first really clear night for ages - but boy, did I get cold! Glad you liked it! Kate
Thanks Sirus - yes, Light and Glass does look like the ocean doesn't it! It just blew me away when I saw the patterns when the sun shone through! Glad you like it, Kate
Sirus - you are a lovely guy! I knew the shot was grainy, that's why I had not posted it before - but it was a friendly gesture to Tim on his birthday! At least you know I've got a sense of humour - and I definitely don't post the same type of thing over and over! Thanks so much Sirus - you're a pal! Kate

Thanks Sirus. I was just browsing through some old files and thought I would share Shirley. She was a lovely lady I used to work with in London. I used to have such fun with b&w, developing and printing - I almost want to take it up again! This was to try out a low-key effect - Shirley being black, with a black leather coat and done with one tungsten spotlight. I had to 'pretend' the 400asa film was 4 stops better at 6400asa, so I think it came out well in the end. Thanks again for your encouragement, Kate

How are you? Keeping cool, I hope...I am waaaay behind in my responses...please accept my apologies and sincere thanks for checking out "Cernera mountains, Dolomite Alps"...glad it caught your eye and I appreciate the positive feedback. Stay tuned

Hey Sirus,
Thanks for stopping by "Soft Rose", and leaving your nice comment, it is very much appreciated,

Thanks for the comment on 'In My Own World', but I'm not a Leo or a Taurus, I'm a Cancer. But cooincidentaly, my mum is a Leo and my dad a Taurus, so maybe I have a bit of a mix :P
Thank you so much Sirus - I'm glad you like my Aquilegia dance photo! I've been having a break from here for a while to do my own thing in photography - but I have got back to normal again, so here I am! Thanks again, Kate
Thanks again Sirus! Lily's got the Blues was fun. It was against green grass, so that's why there is variety in the resulting blues. It was a successful experiment! I'm so glad you like it, Kate
Hi Sirus,
Thanks for your kind visit and nice words on "Purple Gold", it is greatly appreciated,
I, on the contrary, am a big fan of those soft backgrounds, you may disagree of course, (~8

Hi Sirus,
thanks a bunch for your comment pn "Enchanted Forest", I agree, it would be cool if the world was like that. But if forests were blue we might long to see green ones. Anyway, thanks for stopping by^^
