Every day as I stroll through the village, I am met with a sight that challenges the stereotypical image of seniors leisurely spending their days feeding pigeons in the park. Instead, I am greeted by vibrant groups, which include a substantial number of silver-haired adventurers, enthusiastically participating in calisthenics before embarking on Fort Langley Canoe Club's boats. Clad in vivid life vests and equipped with paddles, they head towards their designated vessels. Teams skillfully navigate the channel, their laughter and voices reverberating along the shores. Whether it's raining or shrouded in fog, these individuals redefine the notion of a "silver lining," forging connections and demonstrating that age is merely a number—preferably one you paddle through with style!

Hartbeespoort, informally also known as "Harties", is a small resort town in the North West Province of South Africa, situated on slopes of the Magaliesberg mountain and the banks of the Hartbeespoort Dam. The name of the town means "gateway of the hartbees" (a species of antelope) in Afrikaans. It was previously known as Schoemansville, named after General Hendrik Schoeman, a Boer General in the Anglo-Boer War, who owned the farm that the Hartbeespoort Dam was built on.
The town consists of holiday homes around the dam as it is popular with visitors from nearby Gauteng Province. It is home to the Om Die Dam (English: Around the dam) ultra marathon of 50 km, which takes place annually in the first half of the year.
this photo was taken from the paragliding stand on top of the dam.
The dam is 149.5 metres (163.5 yd) long and 59.4 metres (195 ft) high and is built across a gorge cutting through the Magaliesberg. The reservoir is fed by the waters of the Crocodile River and Magalies River and covers approximately 18.83 square kilometres (7.27 sq mi), with a mean depth of 9.6 metres (31 ft) and maximum depth of 45.1 metres (148 ft). It has a surface area of 20 square kilometres (7.7 sq mi), and its normal range of annual water level fluctuation is 0.8 metres (2.6 ft). The mixing type of the reservoir is monomictic.[8]
A single-laned, tarmac road skirts the water's edge on the north side; along its route it passes through a 56.6 m long tunnel and also crosses the dam.
As the sun creeps above the desert horizon, slowly banishing the long shadows before it, a UP stack train races down Cima Hill, an hour away from a crew change after an overnight run from Yermo.
As soon as this week's Macro Mondays theme was announced I couldn't get the title of this film out of my head, so had to go with this. HMM y'all!
As it got later last Friday evening a bank of red colour covered the Western horizon and reflected in the pools left behind by the receding tide , A rather large crop from my 25- 105 lens.
As you approach the entrance to the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, Japan, you're greeted by this large tree. It's obviously old... I wonder how old.
Developed as a light-weight alternative to the original Carnifex HMG, the Light version is better suited to the average soldier, as a hydraulic combat rig is not required to properly use the weapon.
On a side note, all of the contents of my PC,s hardrive have been erased by a virus, so I've lost all the saved pasties for my guns :(
Looks like I'm starting over...
As we were heading back in last Sunday, we passed this beautiful ketch. I do love sailboats and sailing, but I like to get places faster!
As Veigas, em Taramundi, conserva o seu encanto rural, com as suas casas de pedra e madeira, os seus "hórreos" e os seus moinhos de água. A aldeia situa-se no centro da Reserva da Biosfera de Oscos, Eo e Terras de Burón e faz parte da "Ruta del Agua", uma rota circular de 14 quilómetros que segue o rio Turía. O percurso é um passeio tranquilo num ambiente verde e fresco.
Veigas, in Taramundi, retains its rural charm, with its stone and wooden houses, its "hórreos" and its watermills. The village lies at the heart of the Oscos, Eo and Terras de Burón Biosphere Reserve and is part of the "Ruta del Agua", a 14-kilometer circular route that follows the Turía River. The route is a peaceful walk in a green and fresh environment.
We came across this lovely meadow on a walk in Wharfedale, near Grassington. It’s Site of Special Scientific Interest as it has such a diverse range of plants.
With the Rocket trips now done, it's once again business as usual as Iowa 710 leads BICB west through New Lenox, IL.

today marks the 6th year since my father passed away. contrary to what some people say, time does not "help".
it still sucks as much today as it ever did. I appreciate the use of quotes in the graphic design. a type of sarcastic suggestion that knows full well it will not fulfill its promise.
As the last rays of sunset illuminate taller buildings lights begin to shine and the evening drifts toward dusk. Flinders Street Station floodlights come on, the mid-river bar begins to hum and people make their way via Southgate Footbridge to the CBD in one direction and to the restaurants and bars of Southbank in the other. The skyline is reflected in the river.
As its name suggests, the great tit is our largest tit species. It weighs approximately 6g more than the willow tit and has a wingspan 5cm longer, which in the world of small songbirds, is a lot.
We may think of the great tit as very much a UK garden bird. However, it is actually the most widespread of all tit species. It is found as far away as Japan, Indonesia and North Africa. They aren’t all the same as ‘our’ great tit, as there are 14 recognised subspecies throughout its range.
As we wandered around Island Lake in Orangeville Ontario, we heard a scuffling in the scrub beside us.... had to wait for a wee while until this cutie pie ran into a clearing, I couldn't believe he stopped right in plain sight and gave me enough opportunity to get such a great shot :)
We don't have chipmunks in the UK, unless escapee pets, but this was an animal I really wanted to get a photo of while in Canada and I was so pleased to see this little guy :)
Can't believe that's the weekend over and we're back to Monday again... AND a new month, what happened this year? November already? aarrgghh that can only mean there's 52 days to Christmas... nooooooooooooooo
Hope you all have a great start to the week and a happy Monday :)
Thank you so much for the beautiful comments on my previous uploads, I am glad you are enjoying my Canadian pictures :)
As I was waiting for the UBHF to grind uphill out of Thurmont, nary a vehicle passed on Maryland Route 550.
As the sound of the EMDs grew louder, a few cars passed by but the road mostly remained empty.
Then as the lead SD40M-2 slowly ground into view, a solidary vehicle appeared and rolled right into the frame as I hammered down the shutter.
Hooray.
As I stated at the beginning of the year I want to show Della in some of our local surroundings. The North Shore of Long Island has many coves, inlets, harbors, and bays. The beaches vary from sandy to very rocky. This beach is about 10 minutes from our house and is a favorite of the dogs. It’s a great place to go for some nice afternoon light (unfortunately the sun disappeared while we were down there on this day). Not only do we have the beach here we also have some wonderful woods we can hike in right next to the beach. It’s a great place to see ducks, egrets and seagulls. I have even seen our local bald eagle here. It’s not the best beach for silhouette sunset shots. That beach is about ten minutes from our house in a different direction on a different harbor.
Unfortunately none of the beaches around here are dog friendly. If the park rangers are there they can give you a ticket. If you time it right you can usually avoid the rangers and if they stop you it’s best to be polite to them, apologize, leash your dog up and leave. Most of them are pretty nice and just give you a warning. It really is a shame the town can’t provide a dog friendly beach in the off season. I’m sure people would even pay a yearly fee to use it.

As I said before these photos were all done on private land where no members of public are allowed so we put no one else in danger. It had just rained so fires weren't a worry with precautions in place just in case, and our safety was all under control using large fuses and remote control to the camera.

we finally seem to have a little bit of Winter Wonderland. Snow fell last night and we had teensy weensy snow flakes falling when I was up and about in the great outdoors. The sky was overcast with tiny specks of the lightest blue. Just love those soft colors. Hope that the weather will remain like this over the weekend so that I can head out again and bore you all with winter shots ;-). Must admit though that the birds have flown in from Shadowhouse Creations.
Better in large ;-).
Y'all have a wonderful weekend with lots of great light!
As the story continues from the previous post, the Peregrine finished showing off her catch and headed right for her perch. With bated breath, I tried to stay focused on the bird and hoped for the best.
As a bird photographer we realise how the circle of life works, however, there are times when natures normal course of action, transcends past the lens.
As I was leaving Portland yesterday morning, the Variable Dynamic Alert sign on OR I-205 said: CRASH I-84 EB CLOSED TROUDALE USE ALT RTE...OK, so I did, home via WA SR-12 with a detour to the Johnson Ridge Observatory at Mt. St. Helens.

A stiff breeze was kicking up the powdery ash.
After stepping out of the front door I stayed by the door frame and never advanced in the direction of this red fox. Eventually he came closer trying to see what I was doing as I was in the shade.

As I get better at editing my photos, I like to go back to some of the older images, that I think I can finally do some justice to and rework them.
This is one of the very first photos I created with my Fujifilm X-T30. I had just gotten finished unboxing the camera, when I looked out the window and saw this gentleman sitting by the pond and playing his guitar. He was kind enough to let me take his photo.

As I said I'll rebuild this, will make it around 24 studs longer so I can fit some no mans land. Should I keep the trench as it is or should I make some changes on that?
I've started to realise that my WW1 builds is pretty plain even though I'm trying to make sure there is both layering and "levels" (or what to call it) for example trees. Still it feels a bit flat.
Don't know if you get what I mean, but if you do I'd like some ideas about how to make it better So I can evolve as a builder.
C and C is welcome!
As NS 13Z begins to conclude its journey on the Roanoke District, it knocks down the CPLs at Cloverdale as the Glowworm glows in some sweet late afternoon southbound lighting.
