Twisted and broken, some of the parts are missing
But I was left alive.
My creators fought, I was unfinished…
And I was left behind.

My depth of field was a bit too shallow here, but... :)

Black Bart and Aveline are making a stop - the nature of their alliance and the terms of their business, as yet unknown. (Though its a low-rez iphone pic, thank you ALL for the favs and views, and thank you Explore! :)
When I take the trip out from Sheffield into the Derbyshire countryside, I often take Stony Ridge Road, which is still within the boundary of Sheffield. Sometimes I never get any further, as in the right conditions, the views can be dramatic. Saturday evening was one such occasion. The weather was quite dull as I left home but coming over the hill, the view to the west was a glorious scene of crepuscular rays streaming through the banks of broken cloud and onto the high ground on the far side of the Derwent Valley.
Following a question from Lynne Berry (Photographic Queen of Steetley Pier fame) regarding the location of an opening scene from a recent TV series, it prompted Horace and I to take a look at said location in Mid Cornwall.
Whilst I bagged a couple of shots of this outcrop, Horace wondered off into the village of Roche armed with his notebook, (he is very good at short trotter) where he would keep his snout to the ground and leave no rasher unturned.
Totally out of character Horace walked into the Pub in Roche with his little notebook to source local knowledge regarding this ruined 15th century hermitage and the myth and mystery that surrounds it.
Horace gleamed that the ruined chapel on top of this outcrop was built around 1409 and dedicated to St Michael.
According to local folklore, a hermit and his daughter lived within the rocky structure, another story suggests the hermitage was occupied by some people who contracted leprosy and stayed here to avoid infecting others in the village.
Horace kept probing with his own journalistic style (mines a pint mate) to discover other tales, one being that Jan Tregeagle (Cornwall’s own Faust) a tortured sinner made a pact with the devil then tried to find refuge in the chapel when being chased by demons. (And people think I make things up).
It’s also said that doomed lovers Tristan and Isolde, from a medieval legend, hid here when their love had been discovered by Isolde’s husband, King Mark. It was at this point Horace looked at his empty glass and thought it is time to quit while he was able.
Once again I was very fortunate that whilst preparing to take this shot it poured down with rain, however as it started to clear this sky appeared and the rest is history.
Thank you for viewing my images, the comments and banter are much appreciated. 🐎💨🐷💨🍺🍺🍺😎🍷🍷🍷😂😂😂

In between showers and with a big south east sea running, a couple of big seas break through between Diamond Island and Redbill Point. Tasmania.

I shot and developed paper negatives for several years with no problems.
I've been fighting and flailing and foundering with paper negative development for over a week now and failing. I have a large stack of all black photos, a beautiful black.
something is wrong. I've changed exposure times, paper, development times and done a ton of internet reading. all it did was confuse me because everything contradicted everything else.
sigh...
maybe my brain is past remembering and learning.
egads!
this is a triple exposure with chai and a step chair with a doll on it.
no comments, definitely no faves.
I'm just hoping for success sometime soon.
at least I got a little something on this one,
Yin and yang, male and female, strong and weak, rigid and tender, heaven and earth, light and darkness, thunder and lightning, cold and warmth, good and evil...the interplay of opposite principles constitutes the universe.

Renland is a penninsula in Scoresby Sund bounded by the Ofjord to the south and the Nordvestfjord to the north. Although near the coast, it has a large icefield, glimpsed at the top centre, and many glaciers that plunge into the sea. This glacier is near the end of Ofjord were it meets Rypefjord.

and still waitin' for a good dump of snow this year - this is my first go-to location for when we get some lying snow, but so far this year there hasn't been much snow at all and what we do get is soon rained away
Explored (Number 31) December 29, 2020.
Yesterday was so warm and lovely, it brightened my sad heart. Like most of us I was making use of what I have to to photograph. This is my first year of Tulips here at Long Acre Manor. We moved in 15 months ago in the November of 2018, so no time to plant bulbs for the following year.
Last year the garden needed so much work, before we could even think of nice gardening and planting flowers. Anyway, last October me and hubby planted about 200 Tulips bulbs. Still not enough though, I think it will take a few years of 200 bulbs a time to get what we want, but that's the fun of building a garden together.
This house is 180 years old, its steeped in so much history. The land is beautiful but had sadly been so neglected over the last 30 years. I have trees and a woodland, wild flowers but no planted flowers or borders. We did plant some flowers last Spring and start building borders for flowers and we had a fruitful Summer of flowers all considering.
This year I was hoping to really get planting but I will be limited like so many other folk at this time as we can't get to Garden Centres to get seeds and plants.
But... my beautiful Tulips have blossomed. I have an array of colours. So, yesterday I spent an hour crawling around in the warm grass and the flower beds trying to get a good POV of my Tulips with a very daft dog leaping on me. I now have neck ache, hahahaha but a collection of Tulip images to share.
Have a wonderful Monday, stay safe, keep happy, keep showing me your inspirations 🌷🌷🌷🌷

Gridelwald First cliff walk (2200m above sea level) viewing platform - Grindelwald, Switzerland.
About a 20 minute cable ride from Grindelwald Town up to First with stunning views all the way up.
Many thanks for your visit :)
Ebisu and Daikoku rocks, Shakotan peninsula, Hokkaido island, Japan.
I merged a half second exposure with a 13 second exposure of the same place, to see some wave action and some smooth underwater visibility at the same time, using a darkening filter in daylight on a quite showery morning.
My guess is Ebisu will not survive the next earthquake, go there and photograph it while you can.
WTF is Ebisu or Daikoku you wonder?:
The starkness and rare clarity of a winter's day at Sandaoling as a loaded coal train departs from Erjing deep mine .
There's a slight gradient away from the mine and locos work hard to get their wagons on the move. Just out of the picture is a colour light signal which happens to mark a slight summit, and from there, the loco will shut off, the volcanic plume of exhaust will dissipate into the freezing air and the train will coast down to the yard at Nanzhan.

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness

-23 Fahrenheit this fine sunny morning. (-9 degrees celcius)
I headed to the pond knowing that the steam would be perfect and the ducks would be icy. Both were true and I lasted about 20 minutes bundled up in much more than just feathers.
Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla share some physiological and political traits.
Severus managed to bring some order to the period of anarchy that followed —or more likely predated – the demise of Commodus, of ‘Gladiator’ fame. He showed some talent at keeping at least some of the Roman aristocracy on side, while really establishing what was more or less a military dictatorship.
His son Lucius Septimius Bassianus, better known as Caracalla, didn’t hesitate in having his brother murdered upon co-inheriting power from his dad, and dispensed with the niceties of keeping part of the aristocracy on side. He had a most profound influence on the Roman world by extending citizenship to all of its freeborn denizens, but the lack of support for his autocracy outside the military led to his eventual assassination on a Syrian road, as well as an atrocious reputation that survives to this day.
