The 1L05 Swansea - London (Paddington) First Great Western High Speed Train (HST 125) crosses Porthkerry Viaduct in the Vale of Glamorgan, with a view of the Bristol Channel and Somerset coast in the background. High speed passenger trains use the South Wales main line between Cardiff and Bridgend but occasionally are diverted along the Vale of Glamorgan line which follows the coast from Llantwit Major to Barry. I thought it worth getting up early to catch the shot, which was taken at 04:54 as the sun started rising.
In July-August 1958, I was a participant in a Youth Exchange visit to Rendsburg in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Our group enjoyed a day trip to Hamburg which included: a boat trip around the busy docks and a coach tour to the zoo and airport.
Of these I found the dock visit to be the most impressive and awe inspiring, specially as we came up close to these rows of 'towering giants' moored in the numerous channels.
From the boat we could see bombed 'U-Boat' pens amidst other war-time marine wreckage still awaiting removal.
Our dock visit also included walking through the St. Pauli Elb Tunnel.
MS Munchen IMO 5243607 was a brand new freighter in 1958, having just been built by A.G. Weser of Bremen for the Hamburg-Amerika Linie.

This was the view behind me with the Brandon mountains looking resplendent in early morning light which is a rare sight as they are often shrouded in cloud or mist. I had to be careful where I was walking not to ruin the sand with footprints as compositions were endless and there were some wonderful patterns and details in the sand. Its a long time since I was able to make a decent black and white but I felt many of the shots I took here worked better in black and white.

In my mind, I had really wanted to get a high-key shot of a zebra crossing the road. This will never happen, I told myself, how often will I get to see a zebra, let alone one in this situation.
The answer is, several times a day. They're everywhere! There was one day we had to stop for about 15 mins as a line of plain's zebras about a mile long wandered through the savanna and across the road.
As much as this occurred, I still never tired of it. They are lovely animals and it's an amazing sight. This shot was at Etosha National Park in the northern part of Namibia. This is a high-risk malaria zone, so if you're going to visit make sure you take precautions.
This was also my first trip with my Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3. It's not the best telephoto you'll ever find and it's not particularly fast, but for the price it's an amazing purchase! Keep it below 450mm and it stays nice and sharp. Even at the top end, it's not unrecoverable.

Hand written letters are becoming a dying art. Many letter boxes are now disused, especially the rural ones, such a shame.

A lovely trail that I had all to myself. The river above Lewis Lake is a national wild and scenic river, while the Lewis River below Lewis Lake is a national scenic river. Both are part of the Snake Headwaters National Wild and Scenic River.
If you like IL-76s, AN-12s, DC-8s and 707s these will be featured in the future. My first video is up. IAT 1993 and 1994. Enjoy!
Near the Rothsee the channel, connecting Donau and maine, reaches its highest point. Tourists are travelling by ships, nice area for bikers too.
As far as I know, the channel is part of the original defense of Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. Today, it is home to floating homes, private boats and various other vessels.

Ladakh ("land of high passes") is a region in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir that currently extends from the Siachen Glacier in the Karakoram range to the main Great Himalayas to the south, inhabited by people of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent. It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Jammu and Kashmir and its culture and history are closely related to that of Tibet. Ladakh is renowned for its remote mountain beauty and culture.

The English Channel, also called simply the Channel, is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean that separates Southern England from northern France and links to the southern part of the North Sea by the Strait of Dover at its northeastern end. It is the busiest shipping area in the world.
It is about 560 km (350 mi) long and varies in width from 240 km (150 mi) at its widest to 34 km (21 mi) in the Strait of Dover. It is the smallest of the shallow seas around the continental shelf of Europe, covering an area of some 75,000 km2 (29,000 sq mi).
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".

Here is my completed image of the Eagle Nebula (M16) imaged with Sulphur, Hydrogen, and Oxygen narrowband filters. This false-color widefield image of the nebula represents the strong oxygen signal as cyan, hydrogen as yellow/orange, and the stronger sulphur signal as red. Naturally, this nebula is nearly all red in color, as hydrogen-alpha dominates the field. With selective filters and processing I have stretched the intensity of the Oiii and Sii to better represent where they lie in the nebula.

Duplicated the image to create a starless version, using a starmask and several iterations of MMT and MT. Then pushed the faint nebulosity in the starless version using PixelMath expression: "1-(1-$T)*(1-$T)"
Combined the starless version with the image using PixelMath expression "F=0.4; (1-(1-$T)*(1-s)*F)+($T*~F)" followed by the same function but with F=0.2, (s=starless photo).
