I’d noticed the striking white building with its handsome blue roof as we’d passed this way a day earlier, mustering our spirits as best we could under a grey, leaky sky that gave no hint of the beautiful evening we’d later enjoy by the side of the lake at Kirkjufell. I’d also spotted the rough pull in where the road snaked gently upwards through a patch of rocky scrub. “That might make for a shot,” was only the vaguest of thoughts as we passed through this remote area, heading for Arnarstapi and Dritvik Beach beyond. At this stage, the only thing we were certain of was that we’d passed the road that led to the Black Church of Budir and not taken it. And as we were following a circuit on the lonely road of West Snaefellsnes, we knew we’d need to be back this way the following day. That black church screams for attention you see. One of the most impossible to ignore hotspots on a peninsula that offers all sorts of possibilities.
So now we were here again, this time travelling anticlockwise on the most fantastic of coastal roads. Coming from a densely populated country where the sound of the internal combustion engine dominates almost every waking moment, driving here is an unrelenting joy. The Útnesvegur takes you through a brutal and dramatic landscape, where the story of Iceland’s violent volcanic birth is forever on show. In the far western reaches, we drove for miles, flanked by moss filled lava fields, roughly hewn and worn by the rages of a thousand winter storms, barely seeing any other vehicles at all. At times only the bulk of the ice clad Snaefellsjokull, rising mightily above everything else here seemed to anchor us to the land as if by some gravitational pull. A harsh elemental landscape in a time and place that has crept in under my skin and stayed there to settle into a contented glow that burns slowly within, forever calling me back. Having more time to explore on this, our second Icelandic adventure, was enabling us to see gems we’d had no time for on that dash around the ring road three summers earlier. You could easily fill an entire visit to Iceland with Snaefellsnes alone.
By now I was in a particularly fine mood. We’d already bagged compositions at half a dozen spots on this amazingly productive day as we made our way around the circuit. To add to the internal satisfaction levels, I’d also visited the fish and chip van at Arnarstapi. Let’s face it, if your stomach’s rumbling it’s game over on the photography front. Hunger is a big distraction when you’re trying to take epic photos. And now, a few minutes later after a spell in gastronomy heaven, here we were, pulled in at that patch of scrub and gazing at another epic vista, filled with more of those moss covered lava flows. And a handsome blue roofed building. And some other interesting stuff, I hope you’ll agree.
It was another Super Saturday moment, grabbed in a five minute roadside stop in the grand space between Arnarstapi and Budir. Well maybe a ten minute stop for a second layer to complete the twelve exposures for this handheld panoramic view that filled the space, tailing off into a hinterland of mountains rising from the red sands of the Snaefellsnes south coast under a huge gathering of heavy clouds that promised so much, and later delivered even more. It seems that wherever you stop - when you can stop - the chances are there will be something to fill the viewfinder with. Something that you perhaps didn’t see in a million other images when you planned your own adventures. Just like so many others, I love visiting the hotspots and trying to grab those memorable moments and record them forever. That’s what we were doing for most of our two weeks here, but I also find satisfaction in those impromptu moments when I see something else. And this is definitely an image I’d urge you to look at on the big screen if you can. “Best viewed large,” I sometimes read as I enjoy your stories. And you’re always right of course.
This year has been a very fun year of beautiful photos and amazing story worlds that seemed to come to life before my eyes. I was so happy that you let me sheer my world with you all and I love you all very much! Lets keep showing our worlds its amazing and Beautiful every one of them Just like all of you. ^_^

This young man told me that the best time of the day is to go fishing is around dinner time. He knew this as a fact because his Dad told him so.
The way this little house sparrow is standing looks like it is saying, this is my best side if you have to photograph me!
Here is a start/finish line shot of the Tony Wood 1959 Tecnica Meccanica Maserati 250F chasing down Tony Best / Rob Hall in the Ferrari 246 Dino F1.

Born a year before the BN-SF merger, I've never experienced true Burlington Northern. The pieces of former BN equipment I've seen have all been patched or repainted for the most part. I suppose the nearly untouched cascade green caboose on the Cody local, coupled behind a BN covered hopper with minimal graffiti will have to do...

Am 02.05.2015 war die bestens gepflegte 372 012 mit einem fotogenen Skoda-Autozug, vermutlich aus Mlada Boleslav, in Richtung Western unterwegs und konnte bei Krippen fotografisch festgehalten werden.
Die Knödelpresse bespannte den Zug bis nach Dresden-Friedrichstadt und übernahm dort einen Leerzug zurück nach Tschechien.
This is for you, my best friend,
The one person I can tell my soul too
Who can relate to me like no other?
Who I can laugh with to no extents,
Who I can cry too when times are tough,
Who can help me with the problems of my life?
Never have you turned your back on me
Or told me I wasn’t good enough
Or let me down
I don't think you know what that means to me
You have went through so much pain and you still have time
For me.
And I love you for listening even when inside YOU are dying
And I look up too you because you are strong,
and caring and beautiful.
Even though you don't think you are.
And I hope you know that I am always here
To listen to you laugh and cry and help
In all the ways that i can
And I will try to be at least half the friend you are
To me.
I hope you know I would not be the person I am today, with out you.
My best friend.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Previously unpublished shot from March 2014. Captured with my old Canon 400D and a Sigma lens. Chase Jarvis once said that the best camera is the one that you have with you and there are plenty of online discussions over this being right or wrong. If you have no camera with you, however, then you are always going to miss the shot.
Side note: the sign on the pavement there appears to either say Rat Flesh or Eat Fresh and I can't decide which is more appropriate in these austere times!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend my Flickr friends. Stay safe and keep the shutters clicking, whatever camera you use!
Why is there so much water in the sea?
Because fish need a communal swimming pool.
What about SpongeBob where is he??😭😭😭
Mans Best Friend....I went for a walk to Harlaw Reservoir in the Pentland Hills regional park. As i was ambling around looking for photos I was aware of this man with his dog. The reason it caught my attention was that the man kept stopping every three or four hundred yards to allow the old dog to catch up. When it did, the man would pet the dog and talk to it for a few minutes. If you know Harlaw reservoir you will know the point where this image was taken. Its like an olympic medal podium. When the dog reached it he was like a puppy and jumped up to the top spot. The man sat next to the dog and again petted him and talked to him for longer this time. I got the impression they were best friends and were great company for each other.
Bestes Abendlicht beleuchtete 1116 102 der ÖBB als sie mit einem gemischten Güterzug gen Nürnberg Rbf fuhr. Auf der Strecke Passau - Nürnberg sind die Lokomotiven der Baureihe 1016 und 1116 Dauergast. Inbesondere die Einzelwagenzüge zwischen Wien bzw. Linz und Nürnberg werden zu großen Teilen von dieser Baureihe bedient. Am 20. Juli 2021 hatte auch der Lokführer seinen Spaß als er bei Batzhausen mit seinem Zug auf die Speicherkarte wanderte.
Best evening light
ÖBB's 1116 102 was illuminated in the best evening light as it drove a mixed freight train towards Nuremberg marshalling yard. The locomotives of the 1016 and 1116 series are regular guests on the Passau - Nuremberg route. In particular, the mixed trains between Vienna or Linz and Nuremberg are largely served by this series. On July 20, 2021, the train driver also had fun when the camera was triggered with his train near Batzhausen.
