Rae Lake Basin. Basically from our night 3 camp site. Was below freezing when I took this shot, but well worth it!
Boats and buses above and below London Bridge, across the River Thames.
Behind the bridge lets the twin towers of Cannon Street Station, the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, and the glazed offices of Riverbank House.
Long exposure, shot with a Nikon D40 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
I find all the dry stone walls with the adjoining barns quite fascinating, as we do not have anything like that down South where I live.
I believe the barns were made to have cattle on the ground floor and feed for them on an upper level but I stand to be corrected on that if any locals to the area can confirm that.
After coming over Buttertubs pass in very thick mist we descended down into Swaledale, the Yorkshire dales, being totally new to the area I just followed my nose through small villages stopping every now and then when I saw an opportunity for photos of witch I took plenty, I don`t know any village names what I should have done is have the camera connected to my phone via Bluetooth which may have given me GPS data. Sadly the mist did obscure many views of the hills but on the other hand I had a lovely atmosphere to shoot in.

A night hike led me to this view of the sandstone formations at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. In the gulch the eroded ground was very hard as if packed by a steam roller. The mounds of sandstone are off limits to hiking. So with respect to the land, I snapped some panoramas from the gulch. The moon wasn't due out for another 2.5 to 3 hours, and the wind was picking up. It was getting colder and I was getting hungry.
A 5 shot panorama of the foreground with a 12mm ultra wide lens, and 10 shot panorama of the night sky shot at 28mm (DX) lens. The sky was shot at Mojave National Preserve in April 2017. The main foreground was shot in December 2015. Edited in Lightroom, auto stitched in Microsoft ICE, and layered in Corel Paintshop.
On a clear night in Death Valley a lot of stars appear after twilight. Even in Dec when most of the Milky Way is below the horizon, it's sill visible going across the sky.
Here's a link to my Death Valley Video:
Thanks for viewing.
This is in Martuljek group, Julian Alps, on the ascent to Dovški Križ. We are already quite high above the north walls, here we are turning left into the entry to Jug's couloir. In front of us is the valley-end below Oltar, and the Grlo saddle with its passage. (dia scan)

Panoramic view taken with a Kodak No.1 Panoram, model C, an unusual box camera made c.1903-1905; Kentmere Pan 100.
The town of Cardona seen from up the mighty castle, see of the viscounts of Cardona. In the middle ages it was one of the richest towns as it had the all important salt mines. It was a walled town and was besieged several times, specially in 1711 and 1714.
Below the town, to the left, you can see the so called Salt Mountain., a unique site that could be visited.
Goslar/Harz GER
Goslar is a historic town in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is the administrative centre of the district of Goslar and located on the northwestern slopes of the Harz mountain range. The Old Town of Goslar and the Mines of Rammelsberg are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Sestra is a river in the European part of Russia, in the Moscow and Tver regions, the left tributary of the river. Dubna (Volga basin).
It originates among the hills of the Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge not far from the sources of the Klyazma River. It flows into the Dubna River 11 km from its mouth. The length of the river is 138 km, the basin area is 2680 km2 - the largest tributary of the Dubna in terms of basin area and length . All tributaries of the Sestra belong to small rivers and streams, the largest of which are: the right ones - Yakhroma (54 km, 988 km2) and Lutosnya (55 km, 364 km2); the left ones are Krutets (23 km, 166 km2), Yamuga (24 km, 283 km2) and Berezovka (25 km, 86.5 km2). Several ponds and reservoirs have been built on the river - Lake Senezh, ponds of the Senezh fishery, the Klin reservoir and others. In the lower reaches, the Sestra crosses the Moscow Canal; a 40-meter concrete tunnel has been built to pass water, passing under the canal perpendicular to it.
In 1850, the Catherine Canal was opened, connecting the Moscow and Volga rivers, partly the canal passed along the Sestra River (32 km), and partly along the derivation canal along the Sestra River (66.7 km). Part of the Sestra's channel was straightened, 20 wooden and stone sluices were built on it. Unable to withstand competition with the Nikolaev railway from St. Petersburg to Moscow, which opened in 1851, the canal was closed in 1860, the locks were dismantled.
The sister is a flat river with a winding channel, there are straightened sections. Large stones, small rifts, remnants of destroyed dams and piles of destroyed bridges are found in the riverbed. The current speed reaches 0.4 m / s. The channel width in the upper reaches is 10–15 m, the depth is up to 1 m, below the dam of the Klin reservoir, the width is 20–30 m, the depth is up to 1.5 m. In the lower reaches, the width reaches 50 m, the depth is up to 3 m.
Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
Description of Historic Place
The Navy Hall stands alone in a carefully manicured park setting just below Fort George National Historic Site. Designed with clear, clean lines, it is a low, rectangular, stone-clad structure with a hipped-roof clad in copper, and with a symmetrical organization of its windows and entry points. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Heritage Value
The Navy Hall is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental values.
Historical Value:
The Navy Hall is a very good example of a building associated with the beginnings of the heritage movement in the first half of the 20th century. It illustrates changing approaches to the management of important historic buildings over time. In particular, it illustrates the role of aesthetics in conservation in the 1930s. Originally a commissariat storehouse, regular troops, the militia and also the Boy Scouts used the building, built in 1815. In the 1930s, the building was taken over by the Niagara Parks Commission.
Architectural Value:
The Navy Hall is valued for its good aesthetic design. The exterior fabric of the structure, the stone cladding, the copper clad roof, and the enhanced symmetry of the fenestration are features of the 1930s intervention. These features, clearly of a later era and philosophy, reflect the classical revival tastes of the period and the design idiom of the Niagara Parks Commission. Good functional design is evidenced in the placement of doors and windows, and in the spatial arrangement and planning of the interior.
Environmental Value:
The Navy Hall reinforces the landscaped parkway that runs along the Niagara lakefront and is a familiar landmark to residents and to visitors.
Character-Defining Elements
The character-defining elements of the Navy Hall should be respected.
Its good aesthetic, good functional design and good quality materials and craftsmanship, for example:
-the simple, rectangular massing.
-the low-pitched hipped roof, the copper roof cladding, and the symmetrically placed chimneys.
-the stone cladding of the exterior walls, the small multi-paned windows and large entrances.
-the interior spatial arrangement of the principal rooms.
The manner in which the Navy Hall reinforces the landscaped setting and is a familiar landmark, as evidenced by:
-its simple design and materials that harmonize with the landscaped parkway consisting of well-maintained lawns and walks, all introduced as part of the Niagara Park Commission’s parkway landscaping in the 1930s.
-its visibility and recognition by those frequenting the parkway and the National Historic Site.
Stepping into the entrance hall of the KMSKA feels a bit like walking into a story. The glass ceiling gathers the pale winter light and lets it spill softly over the marble and gold. Paintings watch quietly from their gilded frames. Below them, the festive wreaths and the glowing tree add a gentle warmth. It’s a space that is simply impressive.
Working our way through the first full day of shooting for the 2025 Edition of the Superior-Wawa photography adventure, we found our way back to Chippewa Falls before grabbing an early dinner nearby.

‘But it flows. Yeah, it flows.
Underneath the city through' dirty brickwork conduits
Connecting white witches on the Moor with pre-raphaelites down in Broomhall.’
The Wicker is an area in the centre of Sheffield. There is a confluence of the River Don and River Sheaf, which then run in underground tunnels before surfacing on the south side of the city. I’ve linked to an article on the tunnels below:

Pulp hailed from Sheffield and the video that I’ve linked to shows each of the places mentioned in the song.

A hard day, a very hard day. We must learn to shoulder our “common fate”; everyone who seeks to save himself must surely realize that if he does not go another must take his place. As if it really mattered which of us goes. Ours is now a common destiny, and that is something we must not forget. A very hard day. But I keep finding myself in prayer. And that is something I shall always be able to do, even in the smallest space: pray. And that part of our common destiny that I must shoulder myself; I strap it tightly and firmly to my back, it becomes part of me as I walk through the streets even now. And I shall wield this slender fountain pen as if it were a hammer, and my words will have to be so many hammer strokes with which to beat out the story of our fate and of a piece of history as it is and never was before. Not in this totalitarian, massively organized form, spanning the whole of Europe. Still, a few people must survive if only to be the chroniclers of this age. I would very much like to become one of their number. (ET 2002, 484; italics added)

CN 5687 West traverses the many curves of the CN Ashcroft subdivision along the Fraser River Canyon as it makes its way towards Boston Bar, BC. Low lying clouds provided an interesting backdrop that day for photos of this train.
Castle Mountain towers high above the valley below. It makes you feel small as you stand beneath its shear cliff walls enshrouded in clouds. The wildflower filled meadow adds to the vast array of beauty that fills this scene out of what feels like a fairytale. Yet the reality of this story is better than a fairytale for it is a testament to the infinite majesty of our King! The heavens are His throne and the earth is His footstool. A King far too glorious to be approached; however, there was made a way. Royal blood was spilled and we were given royal garments that have been washed in blood and come out white as snow. We have been stamped righteous and we can approach this glorious King with joy and boldness with tear filled eyes as we behold His wondrous glory!

I have been here 3 times and there has been a breeze enough to ripple the water, but I managed to get a calm spell for a few minutes.
I am squatting low and close to the water line here...next time I'll bring water boots.
Uppark house, set high on the South Downs, was built for the first Lord Tankerville in the late 17th century. In the 19th century stables and kitchens were added as separate buildings connected to the main building by tunnels. The servants used these tunnels so they would not be seen by the owners or their guests
