This plane was built with ores that came from the earth. Slowly the smelted metals are breaking down and being re-absorbed into Mother Earth. 73 years it has survived here, so far. The white shiny metals in the background are mostly as shiny, almost mirror like, as the day they were made, the rest is breaking down just like rusting is dissolving into grains as you can see bottom left of the picture.
There are parts big and small scattered over a large area. The remaining big chunks are the undercarriage and the engines. But there are sections of 'skin' metal I found hundreds of yards to the north. They might have been carried by souvenir hunters, and put down when they got fed up carrying them, but those I saw I suspected were blown there by the wild winds that I'm sure will frequently blast the top of Bleaklow. But if someone wants a challenge, see if you can identify what part of the aircraft this is. This might help you www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=ueBW5vp... But not much! PS. I don't have the answer!
If you are ever able to see an exhibit of Chiaharu Shiota's work, I strongly recommend it. She's super creative and interesting.
As expensive as Zurich was, there were some amazing modern art exhibits in the city and this was definitely one of them!
I believe this exhibit was part of the KÖNIG GALERIE

This was so funny yesterday watching these 2 - you can see Rio in background and Millie is quite clearly tentatively moving very slowly across the grass keeping a watchful eye out for her arch enemy!!
At the top of San Francisco's Lombard Street, this famous one-block section is claimed to be "the crookedest street in the world". There are several very sharp switchbacks to navigate before reaching the stop sign at the bottom.

Despite being a couple of minutes drive from where I stay when I visit Scotland, I have very few pictures of Castle Stalker that I'm actually happy with. This one isn't too bad I think, although I would have preferred a slightly higher tide.
This photo is from Marado [Mara Island]. Marado represents the southernmost point in South Korean territory. The island is about 30km from the southern port of Jeju and the trip by ferry took about 15-20 minutes. The island is comparatively small (approximately 0.3 square kilometers) and you can walk around its entirety at a leisurely pace in about 90 minutes. Marado is home to about 90 residents and "…has long been known for its population being composed of strong women and docile men." (Wiki). While there, we saw traditional "haenyeo" women divers actively working at their trade of free diving to gather seafood.

In fact the whole village is named after the Saviour. Sotira in Greek means Saviour. Sotira is a well-known village in the Ammochostos (Famagusta) area of Cyprus and plenty of old churches have survived in the village centre. The "Church of the Metamorphosis/Transfiguration of Christ" is currently closed. There is archaeological work going on, but the building was too small anyway and, in the 20th century, had been replaced by the "Church of the Metamorphosis/Transfiguration of Jesus". I'll come back to this interesting change of title. This old church here goes back to the 13th century, back to the time of the crusades and the French occupation of Cyprus. The building began as a simple barrel roof construction. In Venetian times, the dome was added, and the spire, also in Venetian style, is a 19th century product (still built during the Ottoman occupation). The archaeological dig showed that this church is resting on foundations of a fifth century Christian basilica. So, the question of who the Saviour is, has always been central to this village. Metamorphosis or Transfiguration denotes the visible appearance of Jesus, not as man, but as God. But "Christ"? Christ is already a title presupposing divinity, no need to transfigure here. That is why, I would guess, that in the 20th century the title was changed to transfiguration of Jesus. It makes more sense. Sense is, of course, in the eye of the beholder. If, as Christian doctrine has it, Jesus Christ was one person, but had two natures (God and Man), and if the Trinity consist of three persons, but having only on nature, there is trouble if you apply Aristotelian logic. Things are made not easier by the gospel of John which stipulates that Christ was always there with God and, therefore, had pre-existence. If you find this difficult, it only means that your mind is working. The question of who the Saviour is is not a puzzle the mind can resolve. But if you sing the question, turn it into sound, or into vision, you may be on a different path. Fuji X-Pro3.
Captain Cook was hesitant to enter this sound, as we are also hesitant at times to enter into things.

Please see large. Thank you
After being shut out the night before by a stubborn storm that refused to break up over Jasper National Park, we had our fingers crossed as we headed back to Maligne Lake the following morning. We all seemed pretty happy with our blue hour shots, but as sunrise approached, it really began to look like we might not see the sun at all that day. I think we had all resigned ourselves to the fact that we were looking at another completely gray day when I glanced up an noticed the faintest wisp of pink on one of the clouds. Sure enough, the sun broke through just enough to throw some fleeting color across the the clouds that were continuing to roll in from the West. I think Tom and I are the ones in our group who really have a problem standing still during moments like this. Both of us went off in all directions at once, and both of us had two camera bodies for just such an occasion. Leaving my D800 on the tripod, I took off running with my D750 and cranked up the ISO a bit while I looked for other comps in addition to what I was getting down at the lakeside.
As I was racing back to my spot in front of the boat house, this puddle caught my eye and I spent the next few minutes trying to shoot if from several different angles with the 14-24. There have been times where I have doubted my run and gun approach, but I usually reserve it for situations where I feel like I've got a decent shot on the tripod before setting of to see what I might be missing maybe just a few steps away. If I had stayed camped out where I was I would have missed this particular shot along with quite a few others. We ALL gave in to temptation two nights before when we had a perfectly good view of the late afternoon sun up at the Opabin Prospect, but curiosity got the better of us and we full out RAN back up the trail to get more shots of the larches behind us. So I think there is something to be said for making sure you KEEP MOVING once you believe you have a decent shot...especially when you might only have another few minutes of good light.
This being said, it helps to be able to TRUST the guys who you are shooting next to. Maybe leaving the camera on the tripod while you run like a maniac in all directions should be reserved for those times when you actually know the people around you...or you might not have a camera when you get back. :)

Thank you so much for your views and comments! If you have specific questions please be sure to send me a message via flickr mail, or feel free to contact me via one of the following:
being knowledgeable is essential, because, to me, nothing appears quite so difficult as to pose a model well and light him correctly, for the very reason that it seems so simple to do.
In the interest of photography and photographers I cannot urge amateurs enough to understand that photography is not a trade but an art and that, as a consequence, their feeling and their knowledge must be reflected in their works just as the feeling of a painter is reflected in his paintings :-)

I could notice that those were flowers only when I had knelt down to have a closer look...entire frame in this image could be just like a tiny palm of newborn baby....spotted those wild flowers on trek to Amritganga valley in Garhwal Himalayas, India

Took this photo of some beached logs just before leaving Prestwick beach with my new Viltrox 56mm lens just as the sky coloured up before being swallowed up by distant clouds...

I've been thinking a lot about my more youthful days recently. I remember being 19 years old and thinking I knew everything. But the older I get the more I feel I don't know anything.
Anyway, this photo was taken at a couple shoot I did a while back. It reminds me of the movie Gladiator.
This was gonna be the photo of the day for my 365 project but... It wasn't. But I love this photo. This isjthe photo I always wanted: me running with the Mont Blanc as background. (Like the professional runners photos)

This week is going to be Leftovers week. Leftovers are images, which I have intended to post for a long time, but which for various reasons, didn't quite make it. Maybe they just didn't fit into any of my numerous series, or they need just a few more elusive finishing touches before I deemed them ready.
The first photo is one from the archives. It's from my D80 days and reminds me of something I have always been saying: Even if you are not religious, religious symbols make a hell of a subject. 😈
There's more on www.chm-photography.com.
Enjoy!

For Macro Mondays theme 'Gift'. The gift here is not the snail, but my precious microscope. It was given to me by my grandparents when I was a young child - they had had a veterinary student lodger renting a small flat above their garage who suddenly vacated the flat when the rent was due, leaving behind a number of possessions that presumably were too difficult to carry easily. One of things left behind was this microscope, clearly a quality and valuable instrument so it is curious that it would be left behind. Recognising my interest in the natural sciences, my grandparents gave me his microscope, that came with slides and eyepieces - it was a excellent source of discovery that lasted all through my school days until I went off to university. I still have the microscope, but it doesn't get taken out of its case very often any more - although I did have fun photographing it for a photography course, see the first comment box. The 4X is the magnification power of one of the objective lenses, it is 1.8cm in diameter.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
