As I had to wait my turn to get into Woburn, due to the car in front of me wanting to pay with a credit card and the card reader playing up, I watched this stag sitting under the tree about 30 feet away. He occasionally gave a 'call' and tossed his head, but remained under his tree. You can see he has already broken some of his antlers, and they are draped with debris.
My winter series is slowly coming together! The photographs I took with Jessie Harbron are amazing! This picture is a good pre-view of what is to come !

For a change I thought I would avoid the coast and Dartmoor for my evening trip out. During the Summer months I always see wonderful golden fields dotted around the countryside, however they're not quite there yet, but I quite like the green to gold transition in this shot.
I should add that the image is in focus, however it does look like parts are out of focus. It is in fact where the wind was gusting and blowing the crop around.
Portheras cove is a beautiful beach, but it's not the easiest to get to. The sea mist descended just as we arrived, but at least it made for a more interesting photo.

Angry Cloud Monster Glares As White Lightning Whiplashes Sky Over Tampa Bay Turning Black Night Blue - IMRANâ„¢
Look closely. Doesn't that look like a cloud monster with two angry eyes, his face split by the lightning outlining his opening mouth....! Kennedy and I had been on the dock of my blessed home when I did the livestream of an impending thunder and lightning storm that was looming over Tampa Bay like a gigantic invading spaceship from the movie Independence Day. I showed many lightning strikes in the livestream but a streaming app on a smartphone is not geared to capture lightning, which just bathes a video frame in a whitewash effect. I knew a second storm was coming soon. So, this time I went out, later in the night, and climbed on the wall of my swimming pool deck. Distant lightning was flashing beyond downtown Tampa. I clicked a few shots. But I had chosen a 20mm Nikkor lens on my awesome Nikon D850 because I wanted a sky-spanning lightning flash, not a zoomed-in view of a distant strike. And sure enough my patience paid off. This is literally one half of a massive lightning flash that went from south of St. Petersburg to way east beyond Tampa. It was also one-third of the view of the three flashes which filled the sky like a white hot cobweb. During my vigil on the wall, Kennedy, my amazing German Shepherd, patiently sat by the pool keeping an eye on me.

As I was heading home I noticed this Ferruginous Hawk on a power pole, I got out of my car took a picture and he flew off landing on this tree. As I positioned myself and began taking shots of him he did what we all hope for...lifted up in flight and flew past me instead of away from me...this 'made my day'!
As always I didnt have the right lens with me on this occasion but Im happy with how they came out for sure.
18 august 2006
this entry is late...mostly because it's taken me a few days to get over the events of this past tuesday's training class.
as some of you already know, matea has fear issues with other dogs, stemming from 4 months of bad experiences at dog parks when she was 8-10 mos of age. add to that her breed - GWPs are bred for "sharpness", meaning if they perceive a threat they're going in, and matea is definitely the quintessential GWP - plus she's a female, and a wannabe alpha...even though with her own pack of at least five other dogs, she's a big pushover.
in class, cheryl - my new hero in dog training and behavior - sometimes has exercises in controlled chaos...dogs retrieving across each other's paths, toys flying everywhere, excitement amped up...all to create dogs who are more interested in working with/for their handler than be distracted by other dogs.
for matea, such exercises are brilliant as it boosts her confidence, showing her that she can work around other dogs and focus on the task at hand without perceiving a threat from every dog she encounters. and she's doing wonderfully. we'd not had a single incident with matea in almost 4 mos of classes, even if another dog accidentally bumps into her or gets into her face.
...until this past tuesday.
taz (an older jack russell...ironically sold to cheryl by another friend of mine who breeds JRTs and has a wirehaired pointer as well!) was in class. during a controlled-chaos exercise, matea was heading out - full steam - to retrieve her tennis ball for me...dogs everywhere, and go figure the ball should roll under taz, the JRT.
taz spun, facing off with matea, and matea had her head down, totally wanting to back away. this was my interpretation of her reaction, and it was confirmed by cheryl after class when we reviewed the event.
matea was actually making the decision to forget the ball, and more importantly, forget the JRT, deciding neither was worth it. if i'd called her back, i truly believe she would have come. but since cheryl's goal is to build this dog's confidence, i stuck to the task at hand: "fetch...fetch." then, apparently, taz made the first challenge/snap. at that point the GWP sharpness kicked in and matea was on her. you've never heard such screaming...cheryl assured me later that taz had been through WAY worse during flyball events, and that her reaction tends to be extreme screaming at just about anything.
with the screaming, the GWP prey-drive kicked in...probably 10 times that of any normal dog. being 50-feet away, i wasn't in the fray until it was over 5 seconds later. 5 seconds that felt like a bloody lifetime. matea was not giving up. BUT let me assure you there was no blood, no injuries, which i suppose i should derive confidence from, in that my dog does have bite inhibition.
i DO believe that had i been right there, the incident would have stopped before it began. however, i wasn't. and fortunately cheryl WAS. AND fortunately taz is one of cheryl's dogs (owned by a niece, i believe). AND fortunately, cheryl is cesar millan in a woman's form. she was calm and assertive, snatching matea's beard and twisting, then holding her by her lips for a good 4 seconds before switching to her happy-voice and saying: "okay! let's go play!"
for the next ten minutes cheryl had me send matea for retrieves with taz right there (held by cheryl), and in fact, growling at matea....a rottie was lunging at the other side of matea (a friendly rottie, but matea doesn't seem capable of discerning the difference), and other dogs at the receiving end. you could literally see matea work through her fears, her body cringing as she came close to the other dogs, yet following through with the task at hand with coaching from me. but it was clear that matea does NOT want confrontation...she was giving the growling JRT a wide berth after that, and not because she'd been reprimanded for fighting. there was really no reprimand.
still, seeing 68 lbs of solid muscle on a little 15 lb JRT is truly frightening. growing up i witnessed the swift death of a pug at the jaws of our one german shepherd...and i saw many fights between our shepherds. any kind of dog fight or scuffle has a major effect on me, even on tv, and i'm working to overcome that.
after class, with her arm around my shoulders, cheryl pointed to matea, lying 20' away on her own in a down even as the JRT was being led past her.... "that is not a bad dog," cheryl said. "if that was a bad dog, i'd be going home and digging a hole tonight."
When on holiday I am always on the look out for something a little different. A little research showed that immediately next to the civil airport in Riga was the Riga Air Museum. To some this may look like a scrapyard however its content is such that it most certainly is a museum. The vast array which is apparently the largest collection of Soviet military aircraft outside of Russia seems to be slowly rusting away.
This particular Mig - 25RBS won't rust as it is built of aluminium. With a top speed of Mach 3 it really made a statement and established a significant number of speed, altitude and climbing records.
One part of me was excited at seeing such an exotic collection of 1950/60/70's technology whilst I also had an ever present shiver running down my spine as I considered the reasons for their existence. It has to be said that during the cold war both the east and the west accumulated huge arsenals of ever increasing power.
My recommendations are that if you are prepared to part with 7 Euros and have a flight booked out of Riga, do get yourself to the airport an hour early. On my visit I almost walked away from the locked entrance gate until I noticed a small sign with instructions to buzz for help. The proprietor didn't speak much English, but as long as I paid up he was happy to let me in and for me to take photos. I also had the museum to myself so you didn't have issues with too many people getting in the way of my pictures.
I panic.
You said hi to me today. Just a simple hi- but it made my day and a rush of feelings from the past clouded my heart.

Guys, I actually went and took photos today- it took every ounce of motivation I had left in me though. I froze my butt off... I hope it was worth it.

As some of you know. I have been without a camera for some time now... each time I would think I was going to choose that next baby. A financial obstacle would always get in the way.
Awhile ago... a fellow Flickr friend made an incredibly generous offer to give me his old camera to use. Free of charge, no strings attached... at the time, I had politely declined. The offer alone was enough to bring a tear to my eyes.
"You are a sweetie Brent"
I eventually decided to take him up on this wonderful offer... the camera arrived this past weekend. (and) I have a series of shots I did Sunday that I will post this week.
But first, I wanted to start my new Flickr life with a few photos featuring the camera itself... some of you may recognize it. Please check out his photostream. Brent and the rest of the gang in Winnipeg are quite special people.

As for my financial situation... things are much smoother now and I even have a camera I've been thinking about. But, right now, more than anything, I want to thank Brent for making it possible for me to get an early start on this.
"Hugs & kisses dear friend"
As I fly into Heathrow for now, I have to put up with views of London blocked out by the Airbus' wing, but when it banks, you do still get fine views along the river.

As the moon rose higher, the badlands of Borrego began to glow under the darkening sky.
Taken from the same spot as the previous shot shown below in comments, 35 minutes later.
Like the previous shot, this is a panoramic stitch of two images, each blended from three bracketed captures. Both shots were handheld. I really need to start bringing a tripod with me!

As you may have noticed I wear A LOT of Pariah stuff in my photos and on the daily. Get yourself some and on sale!!! For the month of October, all products I'm adding into my events this month will come with a price tag of only 99Ls. That includes exclusives, as well as previous store releases. I hope you all have a bad ass October!
Berwick Bridge, also known as the Old Bridge, spans the River Tweed in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England. The current structure is a Grade I listed stone bridge built between 1611 and 1624.
The bridge is now one way, from east to west. A short distance upstream is the Royal Tweed Bridge, which succeeded the Berwick Bridge as the main road crossing of the Tweed at Berwick when it opened in 1928. In 1984, the A1 River Tweed Bridge opened about a mile to the west of Berwick, carrying the A1 road around the town. The railway through Berwick is carried on the Royal Border Bridge, slightly further upstream from the two road bridges.
The temple burns the past away as they embrace. I've shared this work from Michael Benisty a few different ways. I'm working on one last one now... might be the final photo I post from Burning Man 2018 when I am done... probably a welcome thing to hear to people that follow me that think Burning Man is STUPID (believe me, there are a lot... you would not believe the upset emails and messages I get - but keep sending them, I don't really care. You would be AMAZED how little I care, in fact). Anyway, this art is called "In every lifetime I will find you.

As we journeyed our way across the Southwestern United States, we stopped in many places that were just amazing to see. This is the Mojave Air and Space Port, just outside Mojave, CA. One of our favorite places to visit through the years.
Many things go on at this port, including the testing and launching of such projects as Virgin Galactic, SpaceShipOne, and Space-X. Just beside it you see a familiar sight in California, even before they were popular; huge wind turbines spin on every side of the famous Tehachapi Pass.
Tuesday evening view from Kloof Nek as the fog came rolling into Cape Town.
This is a Panorama using three images.
It really is worth viewing this LARGE
My next image is from the following morning with the sun rising over the fog....., wait for it...!!
As I was finishing up some work around the house saw that the clouds around as the day was about to end had a good chance at some colors ... So I headed out to where all the leaves have fallen locally on a field below the trees ... turned out to be worth while. Here the colors were just starting out.
Turned the camera vertically here to get all those great leaves leading up to the trees and that pretty sky.
As soon as this guy saw us shooting Robbie n the streets, he gladly lend us the bike, and we end up having lots of fun in this colorful bike.
Year 2003
As I said last time, the trains are so fast now that I get only one good shot, and my camera decided in that split second, that focusing on the Lego guy is a stupid idea, better take the train. You can take pictures of your silly Legoes the whole day...
So this is now the Locomotive Boy from Series 25 photographed at the same spot, cut out and pasted into this picture where he was just one blurry blob - hence the blurred contour.

As these two beauties ran towards me of course they noticed me at some point. I usually try to take pictures of relaxed animals, but sometimes it is fun to capture their big eyes;)

024/
As much as I enjoy looking at all the photos on Flickr I have to say they come second to the friends I have made on this site. Most of these friendships will be long distance with written exchanges only but every so often you are fortunate enough to meet up with you, or two, of your "Flickr Friends". That happened just this week when we were able to spend some time with Ben and Larry who were in town from Calgary. It was the most wonderful afternoon spent sharing stories and taking photos, which ended all too soon for me.
West Bay, also known as Bridport Harbour, is a small harbour settlement and resort on the English Channel coast in Dorset, England, sited at the mouth of the River Brit approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Bridport. The area is part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site.
The harbour at West Bay is not a natural landscape feature and it has a long history of having been silted up, blocked by shingle and damaged by storms, and each time repairs, improvements and enlargements have subsequently been made. The harbour has been moved twice: it was originally 1 mile (1.6 km) inland, then was moved to the coast beside the East Cliff, then was moved again 270 metres (300 yd) along the coast to the west, where it is located today.
The previous main commercial trade of the harbour—exporting Bridport's ropes and nets—declined in the second half of the 19th century. When the railway arrived in 1884, attempts were made to provide the settlement with the facilities of a resort, and today West Bay has a mixed economy of tourism and fishing.
As you approach St. Peter’s Square you will hear the heartening sounds of trickling water, these are the fountains of St. Peter's square, The two fountains on both sides of the Obelisk contribute to its atmosphere and beauty. These fountains were constructed during the renaissance and they are considered exemplary works. These fountains give St. Peter’s Square a relaxing atmosphere. The fountains are a great tourist attraction and they are considered among the most beautiful fountains in Rome. The fountains have been renovated and are well preserved.
