Just something a bit different today.
Jane and I were walking along the beach when she said i`ll make a stone stack, in no time at all she had built this little stack carefully balanced in the cleft of a rock.
A nice blue sky with some lovely clouds and a sparkling sea and I had my shot.
The River Clyde flows from the hills to the sea.
Another shot of "The Falls of Clyde"
as the Clyde makes it`s way down to the former shipbuilding centre of Scotland, Glasgow, Uk.

Bit tired of the autumn captures so will post more photos of this kind for the next season :D. Here some captures I made in the garden last summer. Did shoot with the camera set directly in monochrome mode.

Seems a bit startled at having its photo taken. Found in a stand of turk's cap at the lake. Pollinators love turk's cap and anoles love pollinators so can usually count on spotting an anole there. Hope this one gets a meal soon, looks a bit skinny.

Bit of a bump on today ... with a very enthusiastic offshore wind.
Dropped out to Bass Point on the way home this afternoon to take in the action.
I never tire of a big ocean with the wind and light creating fantastic shapes in the waves and spume.
This one reminded me of a dragon rushing the shoreline.

I’ve always been a bit enamored with the architecture of some of the historic power houses in our region. I’ve spent a good bit of time around the Hat Creek and Pit River projects over the years and every time I see one of those old buildings I always take an extra moment to appreciate the details.
Hat Creek Powerhouse #1 was built in 1920 and features some wonderful arched windows and detailed cornice gives it a wonderful façade, to my eyes at least. When I was in the area last September and realized it lined up with the core of our wonderful little galaxy, I figured I had to try and capture it under the stars.
Yes, I’m just now posting this almost exactly a year later. Why? Because trying to make this image was quite the exercise in frustration. The “porch light” burns a great bit brighter than this image really illustrates. Camera settings that lets one expose the darker parts of the sky make quite the mess out of the lower part of the sky courtesy of that light! When I initially tried to process it last year, I got so frustrated I darn near deleted all the files. However, I went back to it this morning and tried about 100 different things and 2 or 3 of them actually seemed to work.
In closing, I would ask that we not go down any rabbit holes about the modern PG&E. They're nobody's favorite right now but their architects 100 years ago did some nice work.

Remember Me
Cheat table by IDK31, reshade. Shot was done with my own DoF for reshade. (Cinematic DoF).
We were a bit disappointed that the swimming pool of an abandoned hospital didn't have any water left, but we didn't let that stop us going for a swim. It was a warm day and we needed to cool down.
Another very enjoyable day out, and got some good pics.
Thanks Mick for this idea :-)
You're going to get us a reputation for getting our kit off at this rate!!
Bit of a mixed bag today, went to find some Green Hairstreaks this afternoon, no luck, too cold too windy but at least it was mostly sunny, returned home after a good 3 hours a little deflated.
Some hours later i walked into the kitchen to switch on the Oven to cook some supper, and I noticed there was a bird sitting on our side fence at the bottom of the garden,
I quickly realized it was a Sparrow Hawk and it was eating something. I forgot about super ran upstairs and took some shots through the window, these we're rubbish so I decided to open the bedroom window and it stayed I put my lens out and it stayed, after some still I changed to Video, and over the next hour + I took 300 stills and 4 4K Videos, from various up and down stairs windows. It flew off after my last video.
This is Video 2 and the last one
The day turned out okay after all, although we had a cold supper
A bit far-fetched,
but also straight out of the cam!
These are actually egg timers which are currently residing on a cupboard shelf amongst lobster mugs from Maine!
. . . and so we have a rather strange six word story!
addendum: a dear friend sent me one of these chicks for Christmas, not knowing there was a "clone" waiting in the wings!
Feuerwerk über Mainz
Leider hat der Nebel über Mainz und Wiesbaden die Sicht auf das Feuerwerk etwas erschwert, aber anfags konnte man von der Südbrücke aus doch die eine oder andere Rakete erhaschen. Ich habe hier drei Bilder mit der gleichen Perspektive übereinander gelegt, damit der Mainzer Dom wenigstens ganz vage zu erkennen ist :D.
Chelle Belle! aka Michelle Jones
Wittle beebee got a bit of a makeover post Allen dramaaaa! They 'broke up' and then he called her all drunk so she went running to help and ended up loosing her virginity :O
But then it was Christmas and spending a month with the Jones family is no picnic! Sure they are loving family but they HATE Allen since the drama of Thanksgiving when he went home with her ... and fact her purity ring is now missing :O
