This series of images was taken at Bunjaree Cottages near Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains. All were taken using a Nokia Lumia 925 smartphone with the camera on its default settings, except for the close-ups of the various flowers, which had the Scene set to "Close-up".
These images were taken as part of my Nokia Lumia 925 / Windows Phone 8 trial.
Reflections on the Nile by night as we prepared to dock overnight in Edfu (sadly all we saw here as the famous temple wasn't included on this trip because of security/health & safety concerns over access to it. Having visited on previous occasions we knew what a gem we were missing and hope to return another time).

About two-thirds of the way down the California coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Point Conception is on the right, just at the edge of the window. The little town to its left is Lompoc.

Their first three full-length albums are examples of the death/doom style, although the latter two incorporated some melodic and gothic elements. However, with the release of the albums Icon (1993) and Draconian Times (1995), Paradise Lost also became known as pioneers of the gothic metal subgenre. In accordance with the change in musical approach, vocalist Nick Holmes changed his singing style. He used a death grunt on the band's first three albums, but on Icon refined his voice to have a cleaner tone. Later (circa 1997), the band began experimenting with electronic styles but after four albums reverted again to gothic metal.
Their line-up has remained stable for such a long-standing heavy metal band, consisting of singer Nick Holmes, guitarists Greg Mackintosh and Aaron Aedy, and bassist Steve Edmondson. Holmes and Mackintosh are the principal composers, with almost all of the band's songs credited to them. During the years, the band has only changed drummers, with original member Matthew Archer replaced in 1994 by ex-Marshall Law drummer Lee Morris In March 2004, Morris left the band. Jeff Singer took Morris' place and has played on all subsequent releases, though he was not listed as a permanent band member until the release of the single "The Enemy" in 2007. In a recent video interview, Mackintosh and Holmes revealed that Singer had already auditioned for the band when Archer left, but they chose Morris instead because "[Singer] had a pink drumkit"

A glimpse of 66141, working the 6C45 Tower Colliery - Aberthaw Power Station loaded coal service, seen crossing the single arch bridge at Cadoxton in Barry, South Wales. In the background, the Dow Corning chemical plant can be seen. Situated on a 160-acre site, it is one of the most modern and technically advanced chemicals facilities in the world, and the company’s single largest European plant.
The sight of Mount Sturgeon and Mount Abrupt (hidden in the cloud) are the first signs of the Grampians National Park on the approach from Dunkeld to the south. Quite a surprise after the low and gently undulating country that we’d been driving through on our way from the coast. It’s a pity the visibility was so poor on this particular day. Taken through the windscreen as there was nowhere to stop.
Taken at an informal Flickr meetup with Jason, Jacqui and David. Anyone know why the headlights dominate the taillights in the traffic moving away from the camera? See also this companion piece.
We were up near Victoria, BC for a gardening conference this weekend. I skipped out Saturday afternoon and went for a hike in Gowlland Tod Provincial Park up to Holmes Peak and Jocelyn Hill via the Ridgetop Trail. One challenge was more than 20 cm of snow, which is quite unusual in the Victoria area. It was a fun hike, I saw lots of my favorite trees Arbutus menziesii. I made it up to near the top of Jocelyn Hill when the weather turned sour and I decided it was time to head back to Sidney for some scones and book shopping.
Thanks to Flickr member Calypso Orchid for giving me some great Saanich Peninsula hiking tips, I have to come try a springtime hike up here.
Update 7 March 2015
Arbutus menziesii has been disappearing in the Pacific Northwest, see The Decline of the Pacific Madrone
