The bright and colourful lighting in the Lecture Theatre / Conference Room of the British Library at King's Cross.
(I went there for a talk which was one of the events forming part of the October 2015 Bloomsbury Festival)
Some years, the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the town of Nanton is held late in December. Other years, it ends up being held early January. The Count that took place on 3 January 2016, was part of the 2015 Bird Count.
As you can see, the weather was bright and sunny for us this day. What you can't see was that it was very cold for the first part of the day, then warming up to a more pleasant cold later on! I think it was -21C when we started. Two years ago, on the trip in January (for the 2013 Count), on the hour-long drive south of Calgary, we hit -34C (-29.2F)!!!!! Again, this year, there was no or very little wind, which makes all the difference. Also, the only walking we had to do was when we called in at various farms.
We (my group of four friends and myself, travelling in two cars) drove through such beautiful scenery when we were covering the SW quadrant of the Christmas Bird Count circle that centered on the town of Nanton, Alberta. A landscape over which the occasional Golden Eagle soars (my small group saw 5!) and in which some years - but definitely not on this day! - numerous Sharp-tailed Grouse wander on the ground or perch in trees. I absolutely love this area SW of Nanton! A few of these backroads are extremely steep and almost look vertical when seen from a distance. Some years, the whole area is white, covered in deep snow, so that you can't tell where the roadside ends and the ditch begins. This Count, it wasn't too bad, thank goodness, though I might have felt differently if I had been one of the two drivers for our group!
Around lunch time, we returned to the Truch family's place as we were very nearby, and ate our lunch in the warmth of their cosy home.
After driving (being driven, for me, which is always pure luxury) the backroads from about 8:00 a.m. till around 3:30 p.m., we returned to the wonderful home of the Truch family. Not only do Bill and Leah Truch and their son, Mike, always welcome everyone with open arms, they also provide a much-appreciated breakfast snack for us and then, at the end of the day, a delicious supper. Have to say that I love travelling these scenic backroads, but I also really enjoy getting together with everyone afterwards. This is one of my favourite Bird Counts, and perhaps the most favourite.
Just before leaving for Calgary at the end of the day, we were shown the family's Llamas, two Donkeys, Peacocks, and several tiny white Quail. I should have taken photos of these animals when it was daylight - but maybe I can do it next year.
Thanks so much for doing all the driving, Tony and Andrew, and thanks, Leah, Bill and Mike for all the effort and time you put into your warm welcome! It was another well-organized Count, Mike, as usual - thanks. Can't wait for next Christmas!

Update about my daughter:
She is out of the hospital and back at home, but now knows that she will most likely have to have major surgery. She is in shock, me too, and I feel so upset for her.

The thing about taking picture in London is that everything has been taken already from every angle…However it is always nice to have your own take and one for your collection.
With this picture I managed to get a light trail from the party boat, one from the bus going pass on the bridge and if you look just about the bridge you can see some plane light trails.
Few increases in LR just to bring the picture out a bit more….

I took this shot of the lighting outside of our office building during the christmas party this evening, the illuminations in the bushes are always lovely. Only cropped and resized.
This reminded me of the lyrics from the great song "The Forest" by "The Cure"
Come closer and see
see into the trees
find the girl
while you can
Come closer and see
see into the dark
just follow your eyes
just follow your eyes
Please view in full size for the best effect.

I came across a small shop in the market area which sold nothing but coloured lights. This lighting arrangement presented a great photo opportunity & I spent a few minutes in there

10/04/2010; Nope, I definitely didn't shoot this picture to be original, I know dozens of people visited this place before me and I'm pretty sure dozens of people have visited this place after me in the meanwhile already. But this is just 1 of those places of which you just got to have a picture or 2 in your collection.
"Why, a trained scientist couldn't unravel the inherent qualities of such a confounded doodad! And that's not mentioning the other seven-eighths of the discerning public, god bless their souls. Hike your hitch and beat it, bub! We ain't interested in your contraption, no matter what you proclaim it does! Good day!"
"But, coloured lights can hypnotize..."
"Out!"

The Kibble Palace, viewed as part of the The Electric Gardens event running in the Botanic Gardens, Glasgow, Scotland, February 2015.
The quay by the bridge was home to a bustling river trade and the town was home to many inns to accommodate the boatmen and traders. With the advent of the railways, the river traffic declined and the last commercial barge service ended in 1895.
The photos shown here were taken at night with my Nokia Cell Phone while touring this famous Cactus Garden at night, part of the setting surrounding the Ethel M Chocolate Factory. The gardens are free to tour to all visitors, you can enter the Chocolate Factory first for a quick tour and enjoy some samples, then go and see the lights during the Holiday Season. They are wonderful and whimsical and take quite a while to tour throughout. These photos are just a few samples of what to see at night.
With all its lights working.

The diners had a real treat with the talented Chloe Anne singing during their meal.

I’d just like to wish all of my calendar & jigsaw customers and image & print buyers a very happy and peaceful Christmas and Happy New Year for 2021!
Many thanks to everyone that bought one of my 2021 calendars and helped raise money for Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity, Leeds Cares and Yorkshire Air Ambulance this year. Together we’ve raised £300 this time with over £240 due to Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity alone!
I’d also like to say a big thank you to everyone that supported my new jigsaws project and helped a small business through this challenging year.
Best wishes
Mark
