This is the first bits of jewelry I bought for my wife thirty three years ago. When we first discussed getting married this is what she picked out for the initial ring set and I added earrings and a pendant on a gold chain. Not a spectacular horde but it means something to her that goes beyond extravagance. HMM and thank you for any views, faves and comments.
Got a bit lucky or unlucky depending on your point of view with this one. 60066 is seen at Thorne Junction with 6N38 1843 Scunthorpe to Lackenby, whilst 158855 photobombs going the other way with 2C74 1905 Doncaster to Goole. 22nd May 2021.

A little bit overexposure between the eyes... but I really like it.

Life on the Rails
A bit of urban rhythm from the Zagreb archives. Main Station, Tomislav Square, and the impatient wait for the number "4" tram. While the sky threatens rain, people rush to catch up with their lives, and the blue tram is the only one that truly knows where we are heading. A different dynamic from my usual Karlovac scenes, but equally inspiring.
Život na tračnicama
Malo urbanog ritma iz zagrebačke arhive. Glavni kolodvor, Tomislavac i nestrpljivo čekanje "četvorke". Dok nebo prijeti kišom, ljudi žure stići svoje živote. Dok nebo prijeti kišom, ljudi žure stići svoje živote, a plavi tramvaj jedini zna kamo zapravo idemo. Malo drugačija dinamika od one moje karlovačke, ali jednako inspirativna.
Bit of an experimental image that I noticed the other day. Might have to come back to this when I find another web in a more harmonious relationship to its background
We had a bit of excitement here in the UK last week. I had a fascinating time trying to capture this, totally alien to me so not great shots all hand held and captured from my home . This is where I would normally capture the sunrise ! I'm sure I haven't done it justice but I tried and tried until I finally surrendered :)
..into the shadows!
A bit of an experiment .... honeysuckle and hydrangeas resting on an old family bible. Shot in the dark with just a spotlight 😊
It was inspired by words from the group Syntax, and the track "Pride"

Missing this sweet girl. We said goodbye to her in February. It happened to be on the anniversary of Tyler’s passing.
Someday I hope to learn the dials and buttons and menus and settings on the digital camera. But for present Auto is all I manage..... so just playing around.
I think I need a more glamorous model though....
.......anyway, this one has flown the coop.

Maybe a bit too subtle and not exactly an original shot, I was a bit surprised yesterday morning to find I had Friars Crag and Strandshag Bay to myself and a lovely bit of pre dawn mist with colour in the sky. Derwent Water, Lake District.
A bit of artistic coastal geology is right up my photographic street. My strong preference for this kind of subject is soft overcast light. Strong sunlight will often overwhelm the subtle tone and colour on which an image like this relies. As ever, however, we work with what we're given. At this time of year, the sun is at least relatively low in the sky, giving raking side light that reveals form and texture. The challenge then becomes about making the most of what's available, which is what I tried to do here. This was the location I most wanted to visit in Northumberland, so I was initially disappointed with both the conditions and my photographic efforts. All the more so when a return visit later in the week was thwarted by driving rain, strong wind and a surging tide, making photography impossible. But the rock strata are so incredible, I have to share one or two images here.

a bit of a fuller more sweeping view of the terraces at Linderhof Palace in Bavaria... I was about mid level here I believe...very green with all plants life just coming alive in early May...you can see where I took the previous image just about lower middle ...I could have looked at this scene for eons..and never tired of it...but we were off to more beauty and the Bavarian countryside was beckoning to us and heading to explore the WEISS CHURCH or in German known as the" Weiskirche"...not far away..Church in the meadow...
Just a bit of Make Believe is an edit creation which converted a Daylight photo into Night of the “Lindsay Tenement”and the “Old Snuff Mill Bridge” which can be found in Cathcart Glasgow, ………….a learning curve using colour and layers.
This male wood duck was a bit agitated because an Anhinga was sitting on the top of the palm where the Wood Ducks had established their nest. He began to fly toward the nest, apparently hoping to drive the Anhinga away, but gauged its size and thought better of it. This image shows his decision to turn away. There’s nothing like a strong maternal instinct. The hen, after waiting for what seemed an interminable period of time, finally had the courage to fly right under the Anhinga, straight into the next. That was no small feat. The opening of the palm was small and when she entered it when it wasn’t encumbered by a big old Anhinga, she would awkwardly land on the lip of the palm and sometimes fall when getting inside. Good Mom! Just to give the Anhinga’s side of the equation, this palm was its normal perch used to dry off its wings, long before these annoying Wood Ducks showed up. Why should he leave, he was there first! Anyway, the whole episode gave me and several other photographers a lot of entertainment as we watched the nesting play out. In the end, as I previously posted, a mixed brood of Wood Ducks and Black-bellied Whistling Ducks made it into the world. Small chicks lead a perilous existence and have hopefully survived. Momma Wood Duck has kept them secreted away and to my knowledge they’ve been out of sight since the hatching. Good luck little guys!

It's a bit tiring to walk up to the ruined fortress of Thessaloniki but then you can enjoy the great views of the city.

For inquiring minds that want to know:
I've seen this technique before and wondered how it was created, what software was used. A little research brought me to the linked site (among other sites) and I read the tutorial. I was surprised to find out that it was made with a very creative use of Photoshop. After reading the tutorial a couple of times I realized this was right up there with solving the Rubik's Cube by buying (OK now it's free on the internet) a copy of "How to Solve the Rubik's Cube." Well, I'm always up for a good challenge and so I was hooked!!!!! As it turned out, it was the most complicated thing I've done with PS but somehow rewarding going through the process and the final image got a "cool". I also realized how little I really know about the subtleties and power of PS. Not being able to leave well enough alone, I rotated the image to the diagonal and gave it a little wavy filter. (how could I resist) :)
