A black and white version of an earlier shot of the log storage lagoons on the River Clyde. About 2 acres of these are found in the shallows near Port Glasgow, used extensively during the Clydes ship building period the area stored a vast amount of logs to be used in the ship building process.
I stopped to catch a few shots of this Red Tailed Hawk in the snag.
As luck would have it, I quickly realized the moon was right there and I only had to move a few feet to line it up behind the hawk. My luck was further compounded when I shot a short burst right as it took off.

The next day we boarded the boat that would take us iceberg hunting. We found a few and were amazed at how cold it would become the closer we got. As we circled the behemoth, I noticed the thin cloud above and aligned the two as we rounded it again.
an artist once pointed out that the light in winter, paradoxically, is warmer and redder than the light of summer - I think this photo really shows that light

The Kermario Alignment consists of 1029 stones in ten columns, about 1,300 m (4,300 ft) in length. This alignment is also called the "House of the Dead."
The granite structure in the foreground is a dolmen -- or burial chamber -- and was originally completely covered by an earth mound. The menhirs -- standing stones -- in the background are generally smaller than those in the Ménec alignment and were installed later.
One theory is that the alignments are a giant necropolis, with each stone representing a leader. Each row could represent a different tribe. The dolmen could have been the burial site of a very important person, perhaps a religious figure. Although archeologists have not been able to prove that human remains and artifacts found around dolmens date from the time when the stones were originally set in place, it is a story that appeals to the imagination.
Hope you have a good start to the new week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your visits, comments, awards and faves.

Low Fog Sunset at Golden Gate Bridge, taken from a small airplane.
The sunset burn w/low fog was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.
Super wide angle view. I likie the way the palm tree points to the darker line in the clouds towards the top.
Keeping the cobwebs off the 200/3.5 Tak. It takes some patience (& some luck TBH) but it really delivers when the planets line up.

This weekend was Mum and Dads birthday, Mum who was a year younger - would catch up to Dad for one day each year in a Brigadoon kind way.
We lost them both a few years back and normally I'd go home to Werri Beach and say G'day to them at the ocean - like eveything else this year lockdown has stolen that chance as well.
So I went to the place I feel most at peace - Lake Illawarra, for the sunset today and remembered you pair and hope you had a great birthday up there.
Happy Birthday Mum an Dad.

Chicago South Shore winds its way through a residential area of Hammond, IN, with cars for Chicago interchange. In 2021, work started here to realign the railroad and remove the reverse curves in an effort to accommodate expansion for commuter agency NICTD. The mainline is now about 40 feet behind where I am standing, and this area is now access and parking for the new Hammond Gateway Station.
less about making a good picture, more about recognising conditions in which your phone will cooperate...
In camera editing. - - - love that bouncing light
But I should have used the "500 rule"
The 500 rule for a full frame camera requires you to set your camera to ISO 3200 or 6400, Aperture to f/2.8 (or as wide as possible) and your shutter speed to 500 divided by the focal length of your camera. For example, if you are shooting with a 50mm lens, your shutter speed would be 10 seconds (500 / 50 = 10).Jan 28, 2020. That would have avoided those elongated stars..
This is my first photo series here on Flickr. Welcome to the "Theatre of Glass".
I will be uploading more to this collection as time goes on.
All comments welcome and thank you! :)
A hidden mystery in the woods near Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, WA is the John S. McMillin Mausoleum.
John McMillin - a mason by trade - brought a lot of this skill into the architecture of the mausoleum which you'd imagine was plucked from some sort fantasy novel/mythical tale.
