I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
The Waterboys – Whole of the moon

England, Walmer – December 2024
The panoramic mode on the iPhone is not a favorite setting for me. On Instagram you get bombarded by adds about all Apple did not tell you about taking photos on iPhone: some work, eg using panorama setting for a wider angle (the fun for me using an iPhone is to be curious about all you can do finding it out for yourself).
But making a panorama having a straight line in front of you (a road eg) is hilarious. What would a sky panorama look like? So I did a 360 sky and a 180 horizon of the sea front at Walmer. Just for fun.

The start of a brand new year, the first day with 365 following, given this is a leap year. A calm sea, the light breaking into the waves, painting a gorgeous sky in the clouds. It’s all in the details. The small boat heading out to a new port of call.

2023 is in its final day, tomorrow opens a brand new year. Not a complete blank canvas, but one with lots of room and opportunities for new initiatives, changes, life! I wish you a wonderful new year in freedom, as a gull on his wings soaring the sea and land. Carpe diem!

This week LAPC #260 is ‘overlooked’. Taking the word literally, one from the film archives. One of the ponds in Les Tuileries in Paris, looking at the small arch and the Louvre.
About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but most do have scratches, dust and stains.

At sunrise on the marshes at Blakeney. The weekly theme for LAPC #237 is ‘bringing softness’. I pulled the camera following a flight, coming in towards the rising sun, and here coming into the light.
Here is morning flight 1, here is morning flight 2. And if you follow my blog you have seen the photo of the same flock after they passed the sun ‘winter sunrise over the marshes’.

Right now the coast at Katwijk is work in progress. Sand is dredged out of the sea, pressed through tubes and added just before the beach under the water. 5,5 cubic meters of sand. Making it safe again and compliant to standards. As always Rijkswaterstaat does an amazing job.

The weekly theme for LAPC #237 is ‘bringing softness’. Softness can be achieved in processing a sharp photo. Or just use zoom on an iPhone and do not keep it still while pressing the shutter. It gives the softness that makes this beach view interesting.
