The western fires brought a lot of smoke and haze into the Colorado atmosphere, giving the illusion of fog to the landscape. Here it is really emphasizing the layers of mountain ranges that go back as far as the eye can see as well as diffuses the sun enough for a good exposure.

I have absolutely no idea what all these doors are for. There is nothing behind them other that a wooden structure to hang them from and when opened you just step through to more garden. I am pretty sure they were placed there so people would stop and wonder about there purpose, just as I did. And I am equally as sure the home owner is sitting inside laughing at the good of it.
I've long wanted to see a Ring Ouzel. I'd seen one pop up on a rock on the clifftop path on this particular evening. However, ineptitude meant it'd gone before I managed to get a shot. Chatting later to a couple about them, this little beauty popped up behind me! Lovely experience.
I actually saw a few more this week on the Western Peaks of the Lake District. Like buses these Ouzels.
Close-up shot through a plastic mesh and against a window light (plus two LED lights to illuminate the face). The much-discussed "doughnut-shaped" bokeh is produced by the catadioptric lens, i.e. the fact that one of the mirrors sits in the centre of the surface of the lens and thus produces circles of bokeh with a hole in the middle.
How many times have we Togs missed a shot better than the one we have set our sights on just because we haven't kept alive to the possibility that there may be something better kicking off behind us?
Thankfully this was not one of those occasions. The workshop had just gone past the access road to Seljalandsfoss and pulled into a dirt layby so we could shoot the waterfall from a distance with the ants tromping up to and behind it. Worth shooting but very much a case of one composition only location. Having got my shot and, for once, not lagging behind the others I happened to glance around and got a couple of shots I think are better than the distant view of the iconic waterfall. This was one of those shots taken almost 180 degrees opposite to Seljalandsfoss, handheld, trying to avoid some road signs and other clutter. Wasn’t sure if the colour or B&W version was best but as the colour one was almost mono decided to go for that.

Aren't hidden doors the most alluring? The old stories point that out surely. Even the greatest heroes and heroines fall under the spell of a locked door.

I don't know if it was actually locked, but I couldn't get it open... which made me wonder even more what was behind it. I was told it was simply a closet... well, that's disappointing...
This was also in the house with the "Clown Room" ... one of the coolest places I have seen yet!

The entrance to this bar in Belfast had literally been barricaded in with chairs, like it was under siege.
