A trip to the Brecon Beacons. We were very lucky with the weather although Storm Orphelia did pass through on the Monday night.

To commemorate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 over 4,200 beacons were lit around the UK and across the Commonwealth. This is one of those Jubilee Beacons near, Abbotsbury, Dorset which overlooks Chesil Beach.
Based on the forecast I'd woken at 4am and drove for about 1.75hrs in the hope of a bit of blue hour colour. Alas there was a large bank of cloud on the horizon as I got to the beacon which showed no sign of wanting to shift anytime soon!
I did wonder though if it might clear the top of the cloud bank before Golden hour ended. It did and this is the result (Couldn't resist the sun star😀).

Some remarkable evening sunlight down at the Pier Head, not seen it like that before.
Surprisingly not many people about.
Caroline and I were driving through the Beacons of Wales when we saw this tree on the roadside. The sky and the light provided a perfect moment to capture this beautiful landscape.
Split Rock Lighthouse, Lake Superior North Shore, Minnesota
After a storm on Nov. 28, 1905 had damaged 29 ships, Congress authorized $70,000 to build a lighthouse and fog signal at Split Rock. The light station was completed in 1910.
The light was taken out of service in 1969 when modern navigation methods made it obsolete, but the 1,000 watt 3rd-order bivalve Fresnel lens beacon is lit once a year on November 10th to commemorate the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
I have made the beacon lighting ceremony the last two years, and I plan on going every year for as long as I can still make it. Yes, it's cold on the North Shore in November, but if you have a love of history, beauty, and a need for an unexplainable sense of something unexplainable, the trip is well worth it!

I went to walk around the Beacon Hill and Commonwealth Ave areas last weekend. With all the parked cars, it's harder than it looks to frame good shots of the classic buildings. My genius plan, which I have yet to implement, is to take advantage of my new more flexible summer schedule and try to go take photos on a weekday when parking is not allowed due to the street sweeping schedule. Maybe this week - wish me luck!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beacon_of_Hope_(sculpture) or known as ... The Whore with the Hoop .. amongst others!
On my recce for compositions for sunsets, arriving on the first top the Beacon I get caught in a shower. I wander off path to the cairn as the shower passes over and glance over my shoulder, quick a rainbow. Sack off, camera out, change to wide angle, check the settings, try to find a composition, oh and dial in the polariser, nothing to it.

Foulney Island, Cumbria, England. Sept 2018. This strange structure is probably a navigation beacon.
Left to Right:
(i) Fan Gyhirych with
(ii) Fan Fraith as a subsidiary.
(iii) Fan Nedd.
(iv) Fan Dringarth with
(v) Fan Llia as a subsidiary.
(vi) Part of Fan Fawr.
Or in English:
(i) Braided Peak with
(ii) Spotted Peak as a subsidiary.
Nedd Peak, (was the river named after the peak or the peak after the river, might be corruption of Nyth which means Nest?)
(iii) Nest Peak?
[Dringarth] (again was the river or the peak named first?) Could be be
(iv) Bear Climb Peak or Garden Climb Peak?
[Llia] (same problem, peak named after river or vice-versa?) Llia might be a corruption of lap or lick.
(v) Lap Peak?
(vi) Great Peak, (part shown).
Soon after 4 this morning I noticed red streaks in the sky. It looked promising, so I tumbled out, forgetting my specs. By the time I hobbled to my lookout, it was colourless. So I went for a stroll, but by 5, expected sunrise time, there was nothing.
Time to go home. I decided to go back the same way, just in case something showed, and shortly after 5 the sky suddenly lit up, and for a very few minutes there were beautiful colours with quickly changing clouds. It seemed much redder than I've caught, but I couldn't see to check white balance.
This shows the sun, newly risen, just above the Ivinghoe Beacon, a well known landmark in the Chiltern Hills.
This photograph captures a lone observer standing beside a coastal beacon, lost in thought as the day's last light washes over the scene. The beacon, painted with a striking red and white, stands as a silent sentinel to the vast expanse of the sea. The grassy path leading up to this point suggests a journey taken, or one that is just beginning, as the tranquil waters and the distant horizon call out to the wanderer's spirit.
Einer der wenigen Tage, wo ich noch Bahnfotos gemacht habe. Hier sehen wir Beacon 185 546 auf dem Weg in den Westen.

I walked up the cliffs of Craig Cerrig Gleisiad in the Brecon Beacons at the weekend and then onto Fan Frynych. Took a much needed breather halfway up. The Beacons were covered in thick mist with morning sun shining through. This is the view looking back towards Storey Arms with the A470 threading through the mountains.
