Enigma of the GREEN 'Planet'

Like many others i have surfed on the internet asked the same question: what is that green planet outside our earth, near the moon? could it be a reflection? but how? could it be another planet? but which one? could it be some reflections from my camera lens? i just simply couldn't figure out this enigma.

the image below shows the green object is just behind the light tower

and within a minute of new shot, the green object moved slightly to the right

another minute later, the distance of the green object is now between the light tower and the moon. how can it moved that fast?

i am about to think it might be some kind of reflections, but just how did the green object get up there and why green? is our earth so green? but our world is covered some 72% water and should be blue, don't you think so?

here are my after 9 o'clock photographs and the green object is now closer to the moon.

HELP! i have brain constipation - what is that GREEN thing planet outside our planet earth?

just so you know, those are my most wanted-to-know photographs. when i photographed them, the green orb was not visible to the naked eyes. camera doesn’t lie and these photos are untouched, other than reduced. the moon looked like what is almost vapor but the green object is giving me brain constipation!

i can’t figure out what it was neither can i get any clear answer on the web but thanks to Joel from RI for surfing to ease this haywire mind.

my FIL said it maybe a sun. Planet SUN? now i have more curious homework to research what it really is. the tiny dotted on the photos are twinkle-twinkle little stars and perhaps other planets wandering around, i think so :)) i hope there is someone out there reading this is able to lessen this constipated mind… LOL.

Thunderstorm and Lightnings Pörtschach

strong lightnings splash

Friday, august.8: We had 'cat and dog' weather morning and it calmed down afterward but started raining hard with severe thunderstorms later in the evening.

there were harsh lightnings and rolling thunders in the sky. upon seeing lightnings as we sat at the restaurant’s balcony, i rushed to my room trying to capture at least a glimpse of the lightning. Unfortunately, i missed a lot because of my poor camera setting and how i focused my lens. essssh!! these lightnings traveled faster than me :)) i only managed to capture splash lightnings and its tail…

hmm... that are all i have of my some (boring) photographs to share...

Caught on camera: half moon and Green Planet/Object over Pörtschach

Saturday, august.9 as i was sitting inside my room working on my photographs on my laptop late last night, i saw this moon and the beautiful colorful clouds over lake Pörtschach.

our room is on the 2nd floor and we have a wide window. seeing the moon and the colored sky encouraged me to photograph it.

can you spot the green object near the moon?

i have no idea what was going on around this half moon and i could not see this green object from my naked eyes until i have downloaded my photographs and i saw this green object!

could it be another planet circling the moon at the right time i was photographing it?? or could it be an Unidentified Flying Object, LOL? either one, then i have made history for myself, LOL..!!!

at first, i thought it could be a reflection or dirt on my lens but seeing each 3 shots of photograph and it is GREEN and somewhat rounded made me realized there is something going on around the moon as this green object was not standing still.

Photograph 2 and 3 obviously shows like there is another planet moving around the moon or around my earth, but which planet could that be and what is it? any idea someone? i am very, very curious now...

Ghost captured at Portschach, Austria

after downloading all my night photographs i took last night at the pier, i saw an unanticipated image that freak the hell out of me!! WHY?? my camera have captured a “spirit” moving along this jetty!!! FOR REAL!!!! CAN YOU SEE IT on the photograph below??

have a thorough look and you can see it seemed to be like a, HER!!!! crossed my heart, i didn’t do any superimpose or manipulate this photograph and it was originally taken as it is.

OH WAIT. after having my photograph deeply thinking and zooming back and forth, there is an explanation as to how this ghostly image appeared in the photo. i recalled of a young girl walking on this jetty when i set my camera on a slow shutter speed, and upon seeing me photographing, she walked away.

FHEWWW… i hope i have eased everyone thoughts and mind that it was just from my camera creation … i have seen circulated email about ghost captured in photographs as well as documentary on TV that some people have captured “ghosts”. i reckon those photographers could have had used slow shutter speed and someone happened to walk by. yup! i have testified that here and what may looked ghostly was all the catch of the camera speed lights. sigh. now i dont have any famous and controversial piece of rock and roll ghost story to tell the world... Oh heaven knows all. LOL… now, have you ever saw ghost in your life before?

more Portschach photographs to follow ...

it’s a Beauty Full Day, Sunny and Dazzling in Lausanne

it is always an uplifting spirit to wake up every day seeing beautiful morning, beautiful day in gorgeous place when you are away on a trip. we, indeed had a lovely day throughout our stay until the last day we left Lausanne for Lyon in France.

on Tuesday july 15th, i pushed myself walking up the hilly streets, even steep ones from lake Ouchy to uphill Lausanne City Centre. i reached my destination in 25-minute challenging walk. SWEATING! in 17°-19° Celsius

one of the many steep streets in Lausanne town

come to food, i fed myself at … errrrm…. McDonald’s because i understood the pictures menu than the one written menu in French. it was much quicker to place an order this way, LOL.

later i stopped by at this stall and ordered banana et nutella crepe, oh boy… that was jolly nyum-nyum!

after charging enough boost, i made a further walk uphill to the Cathedral church, crossing a connecting bridge and walked around the hilly city where the streets are made of cobblestones.

i share today's photography an idea i saw from a postcard of black and white image with partly coloured photograph. i hope it helps to pilot you what i saw in the heart of my adventure in Lausanne :) and they are somewhat, attention grabbing than full coloured photography, don't you think so? and i very satisfied with my work - my end results :))

photographed this from the bridge on my way to the Cathedral Church i saw these coloured buildings

i stopped by at this garden on the flat ground on my way back to lake Ouchy where our hotel is located

and this fountain frog left me a comical story to remember. a half senior citizen French woman (kind like a gypsy) was watching me from her bench at the garden here. she spoke some English and talked about photography. her talked made sense, though. she directed me how to photograph the frog which you see now and i do as told. when i have finished, i said thank you and she gave me Fr$5.00. i said No. No. but she kept insisting me to take it and i just don’t want to take her money because she “helped” me in photography. within seconds, she gone bizarre, so emotional, yelling and speak in French and i ran away quickly to rescue myself, LOL! i met a mental woman!! that was last year and now i purposely repeated taking this same frog at the same perspective view in “my hilarious memory of her”… LOL!!

yup! you have read i had been followed at lake Ouchy, now you read i already had stumbled with a mental person.

i am beginning to wonder if there is something witty about Photography and Me… hmmmmm … LOL!! i clarified this to my husband, if a female photographer could certainly attract males or strangers, it is also similar like a man walking his cute dog and the girls or strangers would approached to ask or talk about his dog, no?

i’ve been followed in Lausanne ?!!

it was such a beautiful sunny afternoon yesterday. the murky skies since the day we arrived had turned the dark skies, clear and blue. great photo shoot day out for me, of course.

as i was walking along Ouchy quays, my stomach started to beg for food - because i smell food all around and i stopped by at this Le Lacustre restaurant, located upstairs. i had toasted cheese and a bottle of diet coke and it costs me Fr$12.00 plus tips. Gila mahal kan. Crazy price.

after i have finished consuming my calories for energy, i stopped one level down of the restaurant's stairs to photograph this lake view.

from my camera lens, i saw a man in dark suite who was standing alone at a pole marked 4, and i wished him to go away. Telepathic may be it, that he shifted few steps away when he saw me photograph. that’s why we don’t see him in this picture. now i wished i have him in there, somewhere… somehow….

about half a mile i have walked away from this restaurant, all of a sudden i saw that same man in dark suite was standing like 50 yards nearer to me! my watch showed it was past 3 o’clock in the afternoon. there were people around and i wasn’t panic but afraid. i warned myself he has been following me!! i acted as if i didn’t see him standing there and watching me - thanked God i wore sunglasses to have a look at him from the corner of my eye!

when i have finished photograph this school of small fish swimming in this lake, i was so ready to head to the crowded zone, he quickly approached and stood in front of me and asked “can i take a photograph of you?” quickly i said “no, thank you”.

he was a well groom man and we started talking and throwing questions if i am here for a holiday and bla… bla… bla… little do i asked, he said he lives in Geneva and came to Lausanne for a meeting that was scheduled at 3pm but postponed to 4pm, hence he walked around and saw me photographing. he said he is originally from Holland, but i don’t want to encourage further for this stranger to talk more to know me and told him i am here with my husband and he started to get a bit confused in his conversation of what to say next.

by coincidence, this was the view we both saw and he pointed to the middle building is a Savoy hotel where his meeting is held… ewww… he was polite and said he must leave because his watch showed it was 3:40pm as he said it loud.

here is a photograph of him but from his back that i quickly photographed to take a glimpse of him. well groomed, don't you think so?

the terrifying part was that, i already saw this man nearby the restaurant when i went for my snack. i don’t know how long and how far he had been following me! of course, i buzzed this whole eerie encountered to my husband and to our friend, Bob. my guts already told me something fishy when i first 'detected' him standing at the pole no. 4 looking at me like a hawk and i don’t want to be foolish about it.
