Looking back to Snappers Tor on the way to Down Tor. On the skyline are Leather Tor and Sharpitor.
Snappers Tor is partly camouflaged by the dark mass of trees behind it.
I have a huge number of unprocessed RAW images filed away, and randomly browsing through a few, I picked this one for some black and white treatment. I did quite like the colour version which I may post later.

A winter day at Lake Crabtree in North Carolina photographed with my fisheye lens. This is one of the small streams that feeds into the lake.

Our birthdays are exactly 6 months apart, so she is 11.5 years old today. Halfway marks are starting to matter. After being diagnosed with MVD (leaky heart valve - age-related) in June, she is now having arthritis in her hips. No meds or restrictions for the heart issue (yet), but on Carprofen for arthritis and a ton of supplements, and our exercise routine will be adjusted.
Not sure how all this happened, she was only 5 the other day it seems.
Water tower on the Long Branch Arsenal site. I'm happy it is still standing. No one is supposed to be here, a rule routinely ignored by dog walkers, lovers of various persuasions, and the odd photographer.
We had just received a big dump of snow, with more on the way. A big snowfall tends to increase the sense of isolation, and I decided to do a walkabout with a wide angle zoom, looking for ways to make our little prairie village look even smaller than it is. It's so small that from anyplace in town you can catch at least a glimpse of the surrounding prairie.
From this spot, my own house is behind me. Corner of 1st Street and 1st Avenue. This is my view, a little distorted by the wide angle; the streets aren't quite so wide. I claim photographic licence: everything is an interpretation. Two more shots to come...

Lady Spring is trying to muscle her way into Ole Man Winter's domain. I personally think that she's gonna win the battle--eventually.

Some shots from yesterday's ramble around our local byways and lanes.
I love trees in winter. I really liked these two starkly silhouetted against the twilight sky, the skeletal looking fence running below them.

Built around 1850, these are the remains of the Diamond Springs Stage Station
Diamond Springs was an important point along the Santa Fe Trail because it was the last safe stop going west and the last dependable source for clean water. The trail west of Diamond Springs did not have reliable water supplies and Indian attacks were frequent.
On May 4, 1863, a band of pro-slavery guerrillas attacked the station, killing the station master and severely wounding his wife. After the attack, the station was moved 6 miles (9.7km) away to a new place, appropriately enough called Six Mile Stage Station.
Diamond Springs is so named because the spring nearby was described as “The Diamond of the Plains” when it was first discovered.
This is a large land trust in Fairfield, New Jersey. It's on the north side of I-80 at the northernmost tip of Essex County.

This ethereal dawn scene captures a small island crowned with a perfect row of bare winter trees, creating flawless symmetry in the mirror-like waters below. Soft morning mist drifts across the lake's surface, adding an otherworldly quality to this dreamlike landscape. The delicate pastel sky painted in gentle hues of pink, purple, and lavender provides a serene backdrop to the stark silhouettes of the leafless trees. Each tree stands in perfect formation along the island's ridge, their intricate branch patterns reflected with stunning clarity in the absolutely still water. The misty atmosphere creates a sense of mystery and timelessness, as if this scene exists in a realm between reality and dreams. This magical moment showcases nature's ability to create scenes of profound beauty and perfect balance, where every element harmonizes to produce an image of pure tranquility. The minimalist composition emphasizes the power of simplicity in nature's design, evoking feelings of peace and contemplation.
El Valle del Río Puelo es una cuenca Binacional que nace en Argentina en el Lago Puelo y desemboca en el Oceano Pacifico en termina en el Estuario de Reloncaví, el primer gran fiordo de la Patagonia Chilena, en la localidad de Río Puelo, al oriente de la ciudad de Puerto Montt y a tan sólo 120 Km al sur de Puerto Varas en la Región de Los Lagos de Chile.
El río Puelo (mapudungún: Está en el este) es uno de los 5 rios mas caudalosos de Chile, en su curso superior, a la salida del Lago Puelo forma el Lago Inferior, en territorio chileno y recibe las aguas de los lagos Las Rocas, Verde, Totoral, Azul, del río Ventisquero. En su curso medio, recibe al río Manso, su principal afluente, y da origen al Lago Tagua-Tagua para terminar desembocando en el seno de Reloncaví.
El valle del Rio Puelo no solo es reconocido por su extraordinaria belleza sino tambien por ser valorado como una de las mejoras zonas para la pesca deportiva Fly Fishing de Trucha y Salmon, ofreciendo ademas un entorno natural ideal para otras actividades como senderismo, cabalgatas, montañismo, rafting y mountainbike
"SALVEMOS EL RIO PUELO: No a las Torres y Centrales Hidroelectricas"
Un proyecto, perteneciente a la empresa Central Mediterráneo, en fase de aprobacion por el Gobierno Chileno, pretende construir una central hidrolelectrica en la confluencia de los ríos Torrentoso y Manso, afluentes del río Puelo. Lugareños y la industria turística cercana al río Puelo, la principal fuente de ingresos del valle, temen que el ecosistema en el que viven y trabajan se vea afectado con la construcción de esta central hidroeléctrica que instalaría grandes torres de alta tensión que arrasara bosques terminando con el encanto natural y pristino del valle. Ademas esto podria ser solo el comienzo de una serie de proyectos similares en el futuro como el que pretende realizar Endesa.
La empresa española de energía tiene proyectado construir una central hidroeléctrica, represando este río con un muro de 100 m de altura, e inundando cerca de 5000 ha, la cual tendría un impacto de grandes proporciones aún no evaluadas en la flora y fauna de toda la cuenca del río Puelo y en las diferentes actividades económicas de la zona.

Puelo River Valley is a binational basin born in Argentina on Lake Puelo flowing through the land to its mouth at the Reloncaví estuary the first great fjord of Chilean Patagonia that ends into the Pacific Ocean near the town of Rio Puelo east of the Puerto Montt city only 120 Km south of Puerto Varas in Los Lagos Region of Chile.
The Puelo River (mapudungún: It is in the East) is one of the 5 mightiest rivers of Chile its upper reaches drain out Lake Puelo forming the Lower Lake in Chilean territory and receives water from lakes Rocks Green Totoral Blue and Ventisquero River. In its middle course receives the Manso River the main tributary forming both Tagua Tagua lake to finish within Reloncaví estuary.
The valley of the Rio Puelo is not only known for its extraordinary beauty but also for being rated as one of the best areas for Fishing Trout and Salmon besides offering natural environment an ideal for other activities such as hiking horseback riding, mountaineering rafting and mountain biking.
"SAVE THE PUELO RIVER: No to pylons and hydroelectric dams "
A project from the Central Mediterranean company is awaiting to approval by the Chilean government that aims to build an hydroelectric plant at the confluence of the rivers Manso and Torrentoso Puelo River tributaries both. Locals and the tourist industry near the Puelo River the valley main income source fear about the ecosystem and how work and way of life would be affected by the construction of this power plant that will install large pylons swepting forests ending with the natural charm of the pristine valley. In addition this could be just the beginning of a series of similar projects in the future as it seeks to make Endesa.
The Spanish energy company has planned to build a hydroelectric plant, damming the river with a wall of 100 m height, and flooding about 5000 ha, which would have an impact of great proportions not yet evaluated in the flora and fauna of the whole Puelo River basin and in the different economic activities in the area.
