A bit crowded around it, many people on the street - taken on July 10th 2018, just after France won the football world cup semi-final 1:0 against Belgium.

Bit of a special evening yesterday! Popped up to one of my favourite local places after work, Healey Dell nature reserve near Rochdale, a little hidden gem of a place right near the town, kinda hidden away.
It's the kinda place that if it was in the Lake District it would be swamped by visitors and you'd have to pay £10 to park, but as it is, there's virtually never anybody around, even locals don't know what they have there :)
This is the 2nd of a series of 5 or 6 big waterfalls that run through the place.
But when I got there my eyes nearly popped out at how beautiful it had become with the golden leaves carpeting the rocks.
One of those special moments that makes you feel good to be alive :)

Happy Friday all :)
Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from the page of a magazine
She makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
The power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah, yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah? (suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me (suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Man, it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow and snow
When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really grab me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Give me a word,
Give me a sign.
Show me where to look,
Tell me what will I find?
What will I find?
Lay me on the ground,
Or fly me in the sky.
Show me where to look,
Tell me what will I find?
What will I find?
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Love is in the water,
Love is in the air.
Show me where to look,
Tell me will love be there?
Love be there?
Teach me how to speak,
Teach me how to share.
Teach me where to go,
Tell me will love be there?
Love be there?
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Give me a word,
Give me a sign.
Show me where to look,
Tell me what will I find?
What will I find?
Lay me on the ground,
Or fly me in the sky.
Show me where to look,
Tell me what will I find?
What will I find?
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
Whoa, heaven let your light shine down
I'm gonna let it shine
I'm gonna let it shine
Heaven's little light, gonna shine on me
O Hey yeah, hey yeah
Heaven's little light, shine on me
(Shine) Shine on me
(Shine) C'mon and shine
Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools
To find our way home, to break in these bones
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
Oh, give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
(Uh-uh, uh-uh)
Once in a lifetime, we're breaking all the rules
To find that our home, has long been out grown
Throw me a life line, cause honey I've got nothing to lose
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
(Ohohohohoh)
(Uh-uh, uh-uh)
Look at my reflection in the mirror
Underneath the power of the light
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
I feel like I'm losing the fight
Give me a shot at the night, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
(Ohohohohoh)
Oh-oh-oh
Give me a shot at the night (Ohohoh)
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night (Ohohoh)
Give me a moment (Give me one shot)
Some kinda mysterious (Give one shot at the night)
Give me a shot at the night (Ohohoh)
Give me a moment (Just give me at the moment)
Some kinda mysterious (Give one shot at the night)
Give me a shot at the night (Ohohoh)
Bit of a Flickr slow-down while I struggle with a non-Adobe workflow for the first time in a long time (trying to break the addiction). I'm also pausing the 'pro' account on a trial basis, while I save up to buy a dozen eggs.
So hopefully all have a fine weekend. I'll be shooting a little but may or may not get more images up. I won't be Flickring much tonight but will try to fave from the mobile.

This image featured in my latest Vlog on the subject about Better Compositions for Landscape Photography. The Video discusses the Golden Triangle as a way to improve your images by placing element on the lines created by a diagonal line for corner to corner, and two other lines from the empty corners which intersect the first line at right angles. The link to my Video is above
This male bufflehead had been diving recently, and had the evidence in drops all over. At Commonwealth Lake.

I tried something a bit different with this photo. It's a hand blended 3 exposure HDR. Rather than let Lightroom do it for me, I chose to blend the photo using a series of masks in Photoshop. I wasn't happy with the colours, so B&W was an easy choice. Rather than using the standard, high contrast B&W, I lifted the black-point to about 20 to get a nice vintage film look.

While watching into an aquarium, I met this little guy (and immedeately fell in love). He was very interested in me and followed my camera in every part of his little world. I think he saw himself, mirrored in the glass of the lense.
I always pass this pump station at Elan in mid Wales and think tilt-shift would work, finally the miniature version is here!!!

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
This book is a memoir by Deborah Levy where she reflects on both her personal life and the process of writing and meanders through time and influences so you get a little bit of an idea of how her mind works.

she had bits of soul
in everything. from
her laugh to her
tears and in a world
of plastic smiles
and corrugated
feelings,
you couldn't help
but feel it.

Fall adult males would still have quite a bit of black in the central upper chest and throat area and it normally runs right up to below the beak. Fall adult females and first fall males look very similar but generally have some black in the central chest area. First fall females are generally devoid of any black in the central chest and throat and tend to have fainter black flank striping and thinner wing bars. My guess is this is likely a first fall male or a fall adult female all things considered.
This is one of my favorite pictures that I made, so I don't understand why I didn't post it yet. In fact I have not posted a picture since December 2020. I seem to have been in a bit of a funk last year. Doing better now so prepare for a picture dump lol.
I have a penchant for rustic, rural fences. However, I thought it was high time to mix it up a bit and find a citified one I liked. And here it is: citified and sophisticated.
Took a bit of a balancing act to get the sun-kissed red rock rims to reflect on the geometric pick-up sticks of ice. A storm is due in shortly with warmer temps tomorrow. I'm looking forward to a fresh batch of ice!
