Apologies for yet another pano ..... well, maybe.
Shortly before bagging the pair of 68s working the "Belmond Northern Belle" a few uploads ago, I snapped this one of Arriva Train Wales 13.07 Holyhead - Manchester Piccadilly service (1H89) in the hands of class 67 no. 67016.
In some ways I prefer this composition but figured that what might work for a shorter train probably wouldn't for the longer special and, anycase, being on the right-hand track, it would possibly unbalance the image.
So, at least I managed to get the combination of the splendidly located Chester Racecourse, the Cathedral tower, plus a loco in the frame, even if it is a less than splendid class 67.

Apologies, I'm falling behind again, I've been very busy the last few weeks, and I've still got loads to do... But I will catch up ; ) Please post all your cool photos to the very cool group, I haven't had time to invite. www.flickr.com/groups/2171830@N22/
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Mother Nature for all the cursing I have directed at her over the last week. I've gone out to try my hand at more "landscapey" type stuff now that we have some fresh snow on the ground - and every time its' been cloudy and overcast, or not 'enough' snow, or some other issue that I have attributed to her. Even tonight driving off to dinner in Ayr, Ontario I debated even taking my camera and tripod due to the ugly cloudy overcast sky.......
It just so happens the the city lights reflecting up off these low 'ugly' clouds is pretty damn sweet. So, please accept my apologies Mother Nature - you rock!!!! ;)
"and the word of the day is you are a disgrace
and the man in the mirror only changed his face
no songs to sing, no games to play.."

Apologies to friends who have faved some of my pictures, only to find they have disappeared shortly afterwards. The reason being, they are duplicates of shots already in my photostream.
Apologies for posting yet another Pelican shot (and there are still another 2 or 3 quite different shots to come!). It is such a rarity to find such birds that are quite happy to pose and are completely at ease with humans yet they are not captive and could fly off any time they wanted to do so.
I note from the latest cruise brochure that Mykonos is not on the itinerary for next year. Those passengers will never know what they have missed!
Apologies for the continuing theme of the Yorkshire Albatross but it was a pretty amazing, and this angle shows its underwing pattern rather than its black back. Black-browed Albatross normally only occurs in the southern hemisphere and its nearest breeding site to Britain is the Falkland Islands which is 8000 miles away. They are habitual ship followers and I'm assuming that is how this one managed to stray so far out of range. But Sooty Shearwaters www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/5511808162/in/photolist also breed in the Falkland Islands and they routinely migrate north to British waters in large numbers every summer (which is the southern hemisphere winter).
(Apologies to John Philip Sousa)
I have photographed these wooden steps many times, from front and back, above and below. Of today's views, I prefer the disorienting angle and the nerve-jangling color-monochrome dichotomy I am posting, over my alternative images. (Maybe it should be "The Stairs and Stripes." Whatever!)
Happy SfS! And HSS!
Apologies for not catching up with my flickr friends this week, it's been a bit fraught. I took this leafless tree at Toowong beside the Brisbane River as it's curly and fuzzy branches and twigs were a bit different. Goodness knows if it is dead or just deciduous. Otherwise it is just The Tree!
Apologies for being an absentee Flickr contact.

Apologies for the lack of activity this summer as we spent several weeks back in our adopted home.
This was a small herd of 14 beauties, close to the shore line of Loch Etive.
Red Deer Herd - Cervus Elaphus
Ardchatten - Scotland
As always I am grateful to all those who kindly take time to comment on and fave my photographs.

Apologies, posting more from previous visit RSPB Suffolk
Many thanks to all those who fave or comment, much appreciated
Apologies to those who have sent out items which have not been blogged. My intention was to have the pictures worked today, but I found myself unable to concentrate on much else beyond the horrors which occurred in Orlando.
Never take anyone for granted. Never take any sense of freedom or safety you may be able to muster for granted.
Apologies for another Kingy set but i love photographing these beautifuls birds and as its only down the road im very much drawn there, it wont be long before the river will rise and they will move out so i try to take advantage.
Apologies for my absence of late - apart from all the other stuff we have got going on, number 1 son got married on Monday, and I then had to perform Dad's Taxi Service in the middle of the night taking him and his absolutely delightful lady wife to Heathrow.
So this very pleasant evening up on Hereford Beacon was the first time to just stop, sit and look.
This is the view north along the ridge of the Malvern Hills towards the distant Worcestershire Beacon.
The sunset didn't quite materialise, but we were treated to a pair of Bell Boeing V-22 Ospreys flying directly overhead, heading west - can't think where they might have been going ;0))
apologies for the earworm
Btb, a dear one thinks I should have added a road…. giggling

Apologies for not uploading a lot this past week I've ben having problems with my hardrive infact I nearly lost all of my pictures i've ever taken ! But luckily all is well:) enjoy the pics. Thanks all !:)
Apologies for the lightly re-edited (but improved) repost of this shot from a year and a bit ago but I've just been too busy getting my exhibition together at very short notice to get out and about the past couple of weeks.
Anyway, "Out of Time", consisting of 24 A3+ prints, is now up and running at the Resource for London,356 Holloway Rd, London N7 and will be there until late January 2016, 7 days a week from 9am to 6pm. If any of you make it, would really be interested to hear your thoughts and feedback, good or bad! Or drop me a line if you're going as I'm quite often not too far away. Thank you! :-)
Apologies for the blurry photo, but this thing was shifting at a fair speed responding to an emergency. I took this out the car window as it came past.
One of my contacts questioned the calendar photo. This was in an e-mail I recieved and I did not check it out.
Each day of the week falls four times in February 2017 — but that won’t be the first time that’s happened in 823 years.
In fact, each day of the week fell four times in February 2016. That’s because each day of the week falls four times in February every six years, and twice in a row every 11 years.
That means each day fell four times in February 2016, it happened again in February 2017, and it will happen again in February 2023, making claims about it happens every 823 years false.
Thanks to Truth or Fiction.
I usually check e-mail rumors on snopes or Truth or Fiction.
Apologies for my recent absence, I've had very little time with my camera recently. Here's one of my resident male Bullfinches in my garden back in July.
Apologies to my old 365 gang who have seen this wooden sculpture in every 365 project I've ever attempted. ;)

Here I am
Lay me down at your feet
I've been wrapped up in darkness
And it's time to be seen"

Apologies another Glen Coe image. I had such a good trip a couple of weekends back and got about 12 good shots so here is another.
I got here really late about half an hour after sunset as the track was a lot longer than expected.
I managed to eek some light out but doing a long exposure and using the Lee 0.9 grad filter to hold back the skies.
to the complete stranger for not greeting him with a warm smile,
to my friends and loved ones, for not joining with them in more laughter,
∞ ღ on me ღ ∞
With apologies to Henry and Jane Fonda.
It's not actually a pond, but the title seemed apt to me. It's the Ottawa River (not our Mississippi River for once) from Robert Simpson Park in Arnprior, which is about a half hour drive from us.
It's a 10" exposure, taken with a tripod and neutral density filter. to smooth out the water, which had significant ripples. It's not that I particularly mind ripples, but my goal here was too eliminate them as part of my learning and experimenting process.
Dummy here forgot to turn off image stabilization, which one should do when using a tripod, but I don't think it affected the result too badly as sharpness wasn't too crucial for this photo.

Whatever it is that I don't remember I did, I promise never to do it again unless I don't know what I'm doing when I do it.
Apologies .... A little later than anticipated. Life !
This was the challenge I was going to post and I didn't know if you'd be up for it but I love playing.
This was created with oil on water a torch ( light source) a colourful item under a glass bowl.
Close in , swirl the oil and hope your camera plays ball. mine wasn't playing at first but was using my old but heavy camera and hand held. pleased with quite a few of the results.
If you are up for doing this as a challenge then shout and I'll add to the list.
Apologies for a second photo from the Remembrance Day tribute on Swansea Bay. Too late to put it on tomorrow.
Apologies for reposting this but the previous scan was a bit hurried, this does the print more justice.
