A quiet trio gliding gracefully across the rippling, silver-blue waters. These three feathered friends were more than happy to show us around their scenic riverside home, swimming in a neat little line as if leading the way. Finding unexpected nature spots like this is exactly why we love taking the scenic route.. you never know who you might meet along the waterfront.
Watching these beautiful geese move in perfect synchronization brought an instant sense of calm to our morning walk.
The three birds create a rhythmic visual pattern. The center bird introduces a strong visual break due to its dark brown plumage, disrupting what would otherwise be a uniform repetition of white shapes.
The overall color cast leans heavily into a cool blue and silver palette. The bright orange bills of the geese provide vivid pops of warm color that immediately draw the eye, serving as highly effective focal points against the monochromatic blue background.
The glassy, undulating ripples of the water contrast sharply with the soft, detailed texture of the birds' feathers.
The title perfectly describes the strict, straight linear formation the birds are swimming in, which is the most striking visual element of the photo.
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.
Another photo of North Head, South Battery, Auckland with the disappearing gun.
Again taken by drone to get that extra height and view.
The core of the Milky Way with the Carina nebula and the Southern Cross. This is a panorama taken using a Nodal Ninja rotator, stitched and edited in Lightroom. I cut the ends down a bit due to light pollution and sky glow. I didn't have the rotator properly lined up so the Milky Way isn't as straight as it should be, tricky to do when it is nearly overhead, and dark! The shots were taken north of Port Wakefield, SA. The comet Linear is in the top left quarter in this shot too!
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.

Super wide angle view. I likie the way the palm tree points to the darker line in the clouds towards the top.
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.
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! :)
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.
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.
Shot wide open
Not necessary to be the highest, but the best it can be ....
The view is looking out across Conwy Bay to the Isle of Anglesey.
At it's furthest point east in this photo is Penmon Point - an ancient holy site with the remains of the 6th century priory, St Sieriol's well, a church, Trwyn Du lighthouse, an impressive dovecote and a superb view across the water to Puffin Island and mainland Wales.
According to legend, Seiriol and Saint Cybi were good friends and would meet weekly near Llanerchymedd, at the Clorach wells. Saint Cybi would walk from Holyhead, facing the rising sun in the morning and setting sun in the evening. Saint Cybi was known as Cybi Felyn (Cybi the Tanned), as he was tanned during his journey. Seiriol, travelling in the opposite direction, from Penmon, would have his back to the sun.Thus, he was known as Seiriol Wyn (Seiriol the Fair). -

The Maryhill Stonehenge
Maryhill, Washington
August 2026
Perched high on the bluffs above the Columbia River Gorge, the Maryhill Stonehenge Memorial stands as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most striking landmarks, especially at sunrise and sunset.
Commissioned by Sam Hill and completed in 1929 as a tribute to Klickitat County’s fallen World War I soldiers, this full-scale replica pairs local history with panoramic views of the Columbia River and Mount Hood.
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.
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..
