Little bit different style for today's photo. I usually like to make my photos bright and colorful, but I wanted to change it up and challenge myself.
are not on the sealed road.
There should be several of my contacts who can pick this place, lets see how long it takes ...

Cold Sunset last bit of sunshine is reflecting on the clouds in this late Fall photograph shot in North Carolina.
Our Daily Challenge ... leading lines.
I could probably have made more use of the leading lines here by moving further away so I'm not sure if they really work in taking the eye to the flowers in this case..

The Colosseum or Coliseum , also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre , is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

To say that Marsh Warbler is a bit of a birders' bird is an understatement. They look incredibly similar to the much commoner Reed Warbler, but only keen birdwatchers would get excited about seeing one. It took me years to get a clear photo of a common Reed Warbler because they always hide among reed stems, so I cannot believe how lucky I was to get an unobscured view of this Marsh Warbler on my first attempt, as they are also notorious skulkers. I say lucky because this one only perched momentarily in the open before bolting back to a hidden song perch. But this photo does show all of the subtle diagnostic features of Marsh Warbler; The tips of its primary feathers (wing tips) are edged pale , where these are dark-edged on Reed Warbler. Take a look on this Reed Warbler to compare: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/52098887790/in/photolist Also the tertials (those feathers above the primaries on the closed wing) have a more contrasting pale edge on Marsh Warbler. The overall colour of Marsh Warbler has a subtle olive hue, and lacks any rufous tones of Reed Warbler. Finally the legs are noticeably pale whereas they appear dark on Reed Warbler.
There are about 130,000 breeding pairs of Reed Warbler in Britain whereas Marsh Warbler usually has fewer than ten breeding pairs. Two singing males had set up breeding territories less than 100m apart on the Lincolnshire coast near Chapel St Leonards last week and as I had not seen one for over 20 years, and I have never photographed one I thought I'd make the effort. I'm glad I did, though they were elusive and only gave photo-opportunities on a couple of occasions. The habitat was not quite like the previous Marsh Warblers I had seen as this one seemed to inhabit reeds, just like Reed Warbler, whereas the others I have seen have been in tall fen with Meadowsweet and Great Hairy Willowherb rather than reeds.

A bit of minimalism, a form of expression I usually truly love, because it pushes to dwell on essential forms and almost unnoticed shades of light.
Here you can see a small tree, practically lost in endless fields of snow.
Location: Monti della Luna "Mountains of the Moon", (2.200 m), Italy.

One from a bit further afield.
Since first visiting here a few years back I've always wanted to shoot the castle in the snow. It has to be one of the most spectacular ruins in Scotland and is certainly one of my favourite castles, although I've never actually been inside.
Owing to the light foreground this one looks far better against a black background. (Hit L)

Bit of a lazy day, despite not staying up till midnight for the first time in years... We usually watch Hootenanny, but George Ezra was up first, which caused us to turn TV off and go to bed at 11.30pm. Not much point, as the West Chiltington bazooka brigade started up at midnight or thereabouts. More money than sense round here. At least I didn't have to deal with a terrified horse...
A first attempt at oil and water pictures... More work required methinks.
Bit of a celebrity on the local car show scene, this Opel Manta is usually the only Manta at shows, although out of the blue another one arrived later on at this show in Sturton le Steeple in Nottinghamshire.
I was terribly sick for two days and I begin to' feeling better only today.So all the packages from my last BC update and my CC on PP are shipped only today, sorry.From the pic you can see I'm having a so needed shower and a don't needed iPhone new cover (but cute AND pink).(-:
Bit of an unexpected working which turned out to be Locomotive Services Christmas Jolly to Holyhead with a trainee fireman!

A bit of a day for me yesterday, it was my birthday and reached the age my father died at. Granted my father died at a young 64, still it’s a wee bit of a milestone for me, funny how things stick in your head. I had to do something different from the day, when I was at work I always took the day off and headed for the hills, so I did the same yesterday. Waking at 4:00 I had a bit of breakfast and headed to the lakes. I only intended to explore a wooded area I’d not been too and bag a little Wainwright that in all my time here I’d not ticked off, a good morning explore then home. I knew the weather would be showery and that’s what I was looking for. On arriving and navigating United Utilities gotcha’s I eventually got parked and slowly headed for that top, it was too dark to taken any photos just yet. When I gained the top the weather it all kicked off, I was a bit stumped for a composition, :-)
Bit of driftwood at San Gregorio Beach, just south of Half Moon Bay, California.

Uploading two pictures this friday.. Well, I'll be out this weekend.. I have to study :P

Lovely walk with my sister and her friend back in April. I'm finding the descents are harder on my knees than they used to be, seriously considering getting some walking poles.
Bit cold today eh?
I tried to get some outdoors ghetto lighting action tonight but my camera battery died after just one shot. So I had to wait two hours for the battery to recharge! It makes me edgy to have to wait to take my 365, it's like I worry that I won't get a shot in time y'know? Even though if it came down to it I could use the camera on my phone if I had to, I still worry I won't get anything and miss a day. It's very sad of me I know.
Anyway, I actually had like three ideas to play with tonight . . . two didn't work (the pre-planned ones, natch) so this is my damn-isn't-it-cold-I-know-I'll-stand-against-my-kitchen-wall-and-pretend-to-be-cold shot. Chuck a couple of layers of fake (Photoshop) snow on, give it the once over in Lightroom and job's a goodun. Except I wasn't pretending to be cold, I'd just come inside after spending five minutes in the back garden trying to get the outdoors ghetto lighting shot I mentioned earlier.
It's nice to post something a little more lighthearted than usual, I'm really nowhere near as moody as a lot of my shots suggest, it's just that . . . well, I prefer lookin' mean and moody in shots to gurning like a fool I suppose.
If you squint you can pretend that the kitchen wall is in fact a huge glacier. And not a kitchen wall at all. But you have to squint. Lots.
I apologise for the slightly disjointed commentary tonight, I think it must be to do with the change of routine taking my 365 (damn batteries), it's thrown me a bit. I'm a creature of habit.
Before I forget, I'd like to point you towards my mate Jon, who's on week four of his 52 Weeks project. Check out his Week 4 shot - I think it's really cool.
Its all been a bit rubbish lately - the weather has been very poor for a few months and life just seems to keep getting in the way. Anyway - Sunday looked like it was going to be a good day and plans were made to go out and blow the dust of the camera. The autumnal colour has been slow coming this year with the lack of cold, frosty mornings and the constant wet weather. So the alarm was set early and off i went.
The plan was just to have a nice walk along a river and see if any photos presented themselves.
This was a new location for me and the first obstacle was the river itself - straight from the car park I needed to cross some stepping stones. The water was that high that only half of them could be seen. I got across, but am still not sure how I didn't fall in :) The rest of the path looked like it would kill me at some point. Wet moss covered boulders or wet tree roots made up 95% of the steep downhill path. I estimated that I would fall over at least twice but pushed on :)
In the end I was like a kid in a sweet shop for the first time - I spent a couple of hours exploring and trying to find compositions. Just enjoying been out in nature again.
I met a few dog walkers and marvelled at how the dogs could just run full speed up and down the path. I have noticed that people are much more willing to stop and have a conversation when they see the camera, which is all part of the morning out for me.
In the end I only really liked one of the photos I took, but its not actually about the photos really :) Its about getting out of the house and away from the noise of life.
Great place ,great athmosphere, just a bit..
Gather what ye may of the world around you, but when it whithers and dies you'll have naught left but dusty remains.
A bit south of Westfield, IA, and less than a mile from where they cross over the Big Sioux River into South Dakota, the D&I's southbound road freight rolls through a big, sweeping curve towards the southeast that affords the photographer views of the train as it snakes around itself.
Speaking of snakes, just south of here is the Broken Kettle Grassland Preserve, which is home to Iowa's largest remaining prairie, over 200 bison, and where in 1999, the Conservancy found the prairie rattlesnake, an extremely rare species.
On the point is the DAIR 3025, a late-production SD40-2, built as the BN 8117 in 1980. Trailing it were the 3020 and 3027.
