Thanks for visiting.
Have a good weekend flickr friends.
Two exposures blend. One long exposures for smooth water and clouds effect, the other for sharper sun and lighthouse.
First shot from this weeks trip to Snowdonia and one from the end of the day where we ventured up to Cwm Idwal. On the way, you pass these wonderful falls and it's hard to resist getting a shot of them.
There was a lot of moody cloud and the sun was setting behind Y Garn at the top of the shot, the Autumn Colours were looking lush and I think I got a few shots I'm happy with.
I've not really edited any shots from the first part of the day so I'm just going to post randomly.
A stack of 7 focus points at a single exposure level.
Aquilegia (common names: granny's bonnet or columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers. The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw. The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together. The Colorado Blue Columbine (A. caerulea) is the official state flower of Colorado. Large numbers of hybrids are available for the garden, since the European A. vulgaris was hybridized with other European and North American varieties. Aquilegia species are very interfertile, and will self-sow. Some varieties are short-lived so are better treated as biennials.
Stack of 10 focus points,. 2 light sources, matt black paper. Genisteae is a tribe of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants in the subfamily Faboideae of the legume family Fabaceae. It includes a number of well-known plants including broom, lupine (lupin), gorse and laburnum. The tribe's greatest diversity is in the Mediterranean, and most genera are native to Europe, Africa, the Canary Islands, India and southwest Asia. However, the largest genus, Lupinus, is most diverse in North and South America. Anarthrophytum and Sellocharis are also South American and Aryrolobium ranges into India. Old English bróm is from a common West Germanic *bráma- (Old High German brâmo, "bramble"), from a Germanic stem bræ̂m- from Proto-Indo-European *bh(e)rem- "to project; a point", with an original sense of "thorny shrub" or similar. Use of the branches of these plants for sweeping gave rise to the term broom for sweeping tools in the 15th century, gradually replacing Old English besema (which survives as dialectal or archaic besom). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genisteae
Falls Of Feugh near Banchory, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The stunning waterfalls called the Falls of Feugh are located near Banchory in Aberdeenshire. The Falls of Feugh are a short walk from Banchory centre. There is a stonebuilt Bridge of Feugh footbridge spanning the river which is popular with visitors who watch salmon climb the natural leap as they make their way up the Falls during spawning season. The best months for spotting salmon leap are September to November and February to March. In the vicinity there is a free car park and the Falls of Feugh Tearooms is just a short walk across the bridge. www.visitscotland.com/info/towns-villages/falls-of-feugh-... ps unfortunately the council has spoiled the bridge with a poorly designed pedestrian bridges and all the banks around the falls are blocked off leaving very limited photo opportunities. One hopes somebody in the council will wake up to this own goal soon.

The road links the communities of Braemar, Ballater and Tomintoul with a range of natural and cultural attractions. Three stunning Scenic Route Installations provide new opportunities to stop and explore this wild and beautiful highland countryside. A Cairngorms photo-post is also located at each installation to allow you to capture changes in the landscape. With such a range of activities for families, explorers and sightseers alike, take your time to relax with an overnight stay or two in your choice of accommodation along the way and stop at one of the many cafes and restaurants to sample some highland hospitality. Travel the scenic way on the Snow Roads North or South with the opportunity to link to many other areas in Scotland including Royal Deeside, the Malt Whisky Trail or the North Coast 500.
