I hope you will look closely at this long telephoto shot. It shows the silhouette of a man, out at the end of a land spit contemplating. The mountain background, the big sky, and the water mass, help illustrate how small he is in the scene. However, it is likely he is the element you notice first.
Mostly consisting of hues consisting of yellows and blues, there are few colors in this image. That too helps get the story across of contemplation. A singular process of inner thoughts and few distractions.
The summit of Benniguinea isn’t the highest hill in the area but offers fine views down over the Loch and across the Glenkens.

New Hampshire Northcoast D8 crosses Town House Pond north of Milton, NH on s beautiful summer evening. The train was thankfully led by a matched set of green units. The former Boston & Maine Conway Branch is nothing if not scenic.

Dartmouth is a really great place to be! Good atmosphere during the day. Peaceful at night. Amazing countryside round about, and in August a good regatta.
This is a night-time shot from Dartmouth across to Kingswear.

I finally got the opportunity to head across the border to take advantage of the cool NS High hoods that roam all over the Detroit area. After being nagged by other railfan friends for not shooting them for as long as I did, its safe to say that I see what I could of potentially missed out on. Here is NS BD27 shoving into Zugg Island after waiting 3 hours for the shot. On point is a high hood horsehead SD40-2 that survived an accident without getting rebuilt into an admiral cab
A childhood memory, playing jump rope / skip rope or simply known as skipping was a popular game played when I was a kid. Recently we came across a mural where you are able to interact and " play" . While we were busy playing and photographing a random tourist from China joined us in the game and she demonstrated how they used to do it in her homeland when she was a kid. It was great fun recalling the good old days. Guess we are all united in someway.
So many of the roses across the street have exactly the same color and the original rose is no more... The Root Stock has taken over and even tho it is colorful it isn't like the original...
To defend the Manor of Headford in what is now County Galway, Ireland from the O’Flaherty raids across Lough Corrib, the De Burgos built two castles, Annaghkeen Castle and Carigin Castle to protect it from attacks across the lake.
Annaghkeen Castle pictured here is remarkable for its construction technique, as it was built entirely from undressed stone, without any mortar or cement. The stones were carefully selected and fitted together to form a solid structure that has survived for almost 700 years. The castle measures about 15 meters by 8 meters, and has walls that are about 1.5 meters thick.
The history of Annaghkeen Castle is intertwined with the history of the De Burgo family and their feud with the O’Flaherty clan. They engaged in constant warfare with their neighbours, especially the O’Flahertys, who refused to acknowledge their authority or pay them rent.
One of the most famous episodes of this feud occurred in the 16th century, when an O’Flaherty chieftain invited a De Burgo envoy to his castle at Aughnanure, near Oughterard, to discuss the rent issue. O’Flaherty treated his guest with great hospitality and invited him to join a banquet. During the feast, however, he pressed a hidden lever that opened a trapdoor under the De Burgo’s seat, sending him plunging into the river below. O’Flaherty then cut off his head and sent it back to his relatives as “O’Flaherty’s rent”.
The feud between the De Burgos and the O’Flaherty’s continued for centuries, until both families were weakened by internal divisions and external pressures. Annaghkeen Castle was eventually abandoned and fell into ruin. In the early 19th century, a new manor house was built nearby by another branch of the De Burgo family, but it was also deserted after the Great Famine of 1845-1849. Today, both buildings stand as silent witnesses of a turbulent past. (Text lifted from the Visit Galway site.)
Beaulieu, is an idyllic ancient honey stone village standing at the tidal limit of the Beaulieu River and remains largely unspoilt. Dating back to the 13th century, the village was built around the Abbey founded in 1204 by Cistercian monks on land given by King John. The dissolution of the monasteries was instigated by Henry VIII in the 1530s and Beaulieu was passed into the ownership of the present Montagu family ancestors.
