If conditions are good, as they were this morning, this is one of my favourite spots to take a photograph, Garreg Ddu Dam, Elan valley, Powys, Wales, UK
Very shortly after I’d taken the slow shutter-speed shot of the water, this chap ran along the edge of the bathing pool and simply leapt into the churning sea and paddled off in search of his wave. I just managed to crank up my iso enough to catch him and I fired off a couple of shots. It all happened so quickly.
This is a composite of the two images.
Bude bathing pool on Summerleaze beach, after sunset. Winter.
The Ring Road to Mývatn passes through rather arid desert landscapes, but the weather conditions can make it interesting. This was the case, with landscapes whitened by snow and a highly structured cloud layer, often including lenticular formations.
Done for the Toneless Tuesdays group.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The Duffy Lake road showcases the stunning natural beauty of B.C.'s coastal mountain range. This year's impressive snowpack continues to attract back country skiiers...try to find them in the lower right corner of the photo. :)
I’d like to dedicate this shot to a good friend of mine William McIntosh. I have spent the last 4 months shooting as much as I can with Bill and trying to gleen info from him about his weather prediction skills and gain some insight about his frame of mind about photography. He is a master of weather prediction IMHO and I have always admired his tenacity which has netted him some absolutely fantastic captures from Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest. Bill contacted me during the week to see if I was up for a Banzai run to Yosemite Valley as he was predicting a passage in the storm which would provide a high probability of misty/snowy conditions like seen in many of his postings from there. Of course Bill was right on the money as was shown from some of the webcams provided there. But unfortunately I had to decline as I was starting to get sick with the Flu and didn’t want to drag him down with me. Today he contacted me again to see if I was up for some shooting at Corona Del Mar but I was still trying to fight off the Flu and as painful as it was had to opt out again. Later, today, as I was digging through my folder of processed photos I found this shot and the pain of declination returned. Sorry Bill, I was more worried about getting you sick then worsening my own condition. LOL. Thanks for the invite my friend and hope you had a great day at CDM. If you would like to see William’s amazing photography, you can visit his stream here.

Tale of the Take…
This is a side view of the arch found at Corona Del Mar, If you wanted to get a full view through the arch you would need to scramble along the cliffsides base there at a specific tide level, I say specific because if you time it incorrectly you wouldn’t drown but you would have to spend a long, cold night on the rocks or call the Coast Guard to come “fish” you out which carries along an $800 dollar or better rescue charge. I’m still hoping that Bill will show me the specifics of entering here at a time that would be safe to enter and exit during the sunset. See what I mean about his tenacity. :)
Please come over and check out my other photos, you might find something else you like. :)
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend everybody!! :)

Last grass track meeting of the year! Two of the sidecars racing flat out in the muddy conditions. They fought for 4 circuits . How the guy in the sidecar could stay on amazed me. My hat off goes to them for this opportunity.
Garlic is an herb that is grown around the world. It is related to onion, leeks, and chives. It is thought that garlic is native to Siberia, but spread to other parts of the world over 5000 years ago. Garlic is most commonly used for conditions related to the heart and blood system................
Framed this shot during my trip to Yosemite during the 1st major snow storm this winter, back in November.
This shot has always eluded me with conditions turning out to be really bad at every attempt. I am happy that I finally bagged this shot. This is indeed one of my favorite vistas in the valley, surprisingly ever so less visited by tourists.
With conditions like this who wouldn't want to be on Mam Tor at sunrise? There was at least 20 other photographers that agreed with us :o) While they were still jostling for position to get the sunrise I thought I'd have a look elsewhere and the light behind was also pretty nice too. Had to wait for sun up for this one though and really like the shadow contrasts across to Rushup Edge.
Today we took an unexpected trip to Pt. Betsie Lighthouse and the conditions were brutal. My camera got covered in ice, my glasses were covered in ice even my gloves were covered in ice but through it all I managed to get a handful of photos. So I guess it was worth the tough driving conditions and brutal temps. I love when the ice has that turquoise cast to it.

Evening photo on Montana's Highway 200, east of Missoula. The only camera I had with me at the time was an old point & shoot. To quote another photographer I know, "The best camera is the one you have with you at the moment."
Godafoss is Iceland’s most impressive and beautiful waterfall. Its name is associated with the country’s history. Having been settled on the 9th and 10th centuries, the Norse pagan religion was dominant. With the growth of Christianity throughout Europe, the pressure to abandon Norse increased to the point that Iceland feared an invasion. In 1000 AD it adopted Christianity as the official religion and the decision maker made the symbolic gesture of throwing the pagan idols into the waterfall. Hence its name since then: The Waterfall Of the Gods.
This photo, taken at sunrise, is from my second day photographing Godafoss. The weather on the first day there was pretty bad, thick cloud cover, rainy and windy Returning on the day after proved to be a wise decision, as the place is spectacular and well justified the change in our plans (something that you should be prepared for in Iceland, due to its moody weather conditions...!).

Cosmic conditions conspired against us
'Cause you and me got chemistry
But what's with our timing?
Guess it's better we never rushed ♫
Happy friday! Starting the weekend with a thirst trap, just to show off a bit (´ε｀ )♡
I returned to this location last week, and conditions have changed. The ice edge seen here has expanded, pushing out of the shadow of the tall riverbank behind me. Consequently, the cool-warm contrast that I've been playing with is no longer present. There was still some open water, but not much. I think this amazing combination of colours and shapes is gone until next winter.
But that's why we do it, don't you think? Being a nature photographer is to recognize the temporal beauty of all things wild and cyclical, and to feel a compulsion to capture some of the essence even as it fades or makes the transition into something else. And to understand that every moment is unique. The clouds above that peak will never again look precisely like this; the combination of lines, shapes, and textures in front of my lens right now will never be repeated, no matter how long the future stretches out for our species. It's the same with human faces, with fingerprints.
And yet, even as the ice melts away - or in this case, expands until the river fully freezes over - I experience a sort of speechless wonder when I'm out there, especially when I'm alone, as if I have entered a zone of timelessness. This seems to happen most often when I'm shooting macro. Somehow, the viewfinder image becomes the world. After twenty minutes or so of intense concentration, I may look up and feel astonished, because I've lost track of the larger world and where I am in it - in this instance, lying flat on the ice with my tripod, a few inches from the edge of a rushing river. It's almost an out-of-body experience. It's when I feel most alive.

I had really nice conditions when I went to the wildlife refuge on this night. The wind wasn't blowing too hard and it made for pretty reflections off of the water. There was just enough clouds in the sky to make the picture look really nice and the silhouettes were pretty amazing. My dog and I stayed until after sunset to watch the sandhill cranes come in to roost for the night. It was a really great night of shooting.
Ship graveyard in Bangladesh
One of the most polluted places on earth is considered the “ship graveyard” in Bangladesh. Every year, more than two hundred ships find their last refuge here and provide jobs for local residents. All decommissioned ships understand to the last screw. This is done in appalling conditions and for a ridiculous reward, but due to the lack of alternatives, people agree to such work.
Читтагонг- один из крупнейших в мире центров по слому кораблей. Здесь одновременно работало до 200000 человек.
После Второй мировой войны судостроение стало переживать небывалый подъем, огромное количество металлических кораблей строилось по всему миру и все больше – в развивающихся странах. Однако вскоре возник вопрос по утилизации отработавших свое кораблей. Более экономичней и выгодней оказалось производить разбор старых кораблей на металлолом в бедных развивающихся странах, где десятки тысяч низкооплачиваемых трудящихся демонтировали старые корабли в несколько раз дешевле, чем в Европе.
Плюс ко всему немаловажную роль сыграли такие факторы, как строгие требования охраны здоровья и окружающей среды, дорогостоящие страховки. Все это сделало слом кораблей в развитых европейских странах невыгодным. Здесь такая деятельность ограничивается, в основном, утилизацией военных судов.
Утилизация старых судов в развитых странах в настоящее время чрезвычайно высока также из-за дороговизны: стоимость утилизации токсичных веществ, таких как асбест, ПХБ и содержащих свинец и ртуть — зачастую выше, чем стоимость металлолома.
Одним из самых загрязненных мест на земле считается «кладбище кораблей» в Бангладеше. Ежегодно, более двухсот кораблей находят здесь свое последнее пристанище и обеспечивают работой местных жителей. Все списанные корабли разбираются до последнего винтика. Делается это в ужасающих условиях и за смешное вознаграждение, но из-за отсутствия альтернатив люди соглашаются и на такую работу.
Прежде чем начинается основная работа, корабль доставляют в Читтагонг и сажают на мель. Далее снимают и сливают все, до чего дотянутся: начиная топливом и маслом, заканчивая мебелью и оборудованием. Все материалы отправляются на переработку.
История этого места начинается в 1960 году. Именно в этом году судно Alpine после шторма было выброшено на берег. Попытки снять его с мели не привели к положительным результатам и через пять лет корабль списали. Судно купила местная компания и при помощи дешевой рабочей силы разобрала на металлолом. И уже в 90-х годах здесь образовался один из крупнейших центров по утилизации кораблей.

The conditions on Friday looked too good to miss - snow, fog and a chance of some sunrise light. I stuck the camera in a small shoulder bag and headed out on my morning walk.
Under challenging lighting conditions, an eastbound freight is seen arriving at Hornell, rolling past the former Cass Street tower for a "Tower Tuesday" appearance. At one time, Cass Street controlled the connection between the Erie Railroad mainline to Chicago (taking off to the left behind the tower) and the "branch" to Buffalo. Under Conrail and everything that followed, things flipped and the main route became the Buffalo line that you see the Susie-Q train coming in on.
Conditions we dream of...
A3 Class No.60103 (4472) 'Flying Scotsman' is seen crossing Dandrymire Viaduct Garsdale with West Coast Railtours's 'Flying Scotsman Christmas Charter', 1Z72 Liverpool Lime St to Carlisle.

Wintry conditions are not that common close to the protection of the south coast but this small heath is a bit of a frost pocket. Young colonising birch saplings on the heath were coated in frost on this morning in early December, simplifying the scene and I felt contrasted nicely with older trees on the edge of woodland behind.
Happy Christmas to everyone after a very strange year so wishing everyone good health too, whatever you may be able to do to celebrate. Many thanks for all of the interest, faves and comments in my work, all very much appreciated and for the sense of community and sharing this generates. Take care everyone.
Anacridium aegyptium
The desert locust shows periodic changes in its body form and can change in response to environmental conditions, over several generations, from a solitary, shorter-winged, highly fecund, non-migratory form to a gregarious, long-winged, and migratory phase in which they may travel long distances into new areas. In some years, they may thus form locust plagues, invading new areas, where they may consume all vegetation including crops, and at other times, they may live unnoticed in small numbers.

This eagle certainly did dare and carries away it's prize.
A revisit to these guys is high on my list of things to do in 2018. It was certainly one of my best days out in 2017 despite the poor light conditions.
A true unquestionable master of the skies the magnificent white tailed eagle. Seen here making off with it's catch, the UK's largest most powerful and arguably most beautiful bird .
The eagles are a fabulous advert for conservation and a great blueprint for the reintroduction of other former native species.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.

Autumn 2019
Due to road conditions, I didn't get to the Canyon until mid/late afternoon. I got a few shots, then white out, and the unseen sunset. I grappled trying to get a shot like this before the white out with patches of low hanging clouds. I think the moisture in the atmosphere made the "clear" part still a little murky. I think this is the best one.
I spotted this section of the path that goes large enough to pitch my tent. Conditions were fantastic, nice and warm with only a gentle breeze.
I stayed in this place for two nights, enjoying the changing soubleties of the landscape of this wonderful place.

Some very atmospheric and eerie misty conditions yesterday at Port Eynon Point on Gower. Not sure if the clouds would be classified as sea fog or a cloud inversion. If any experts out there could clarify I would be most grateful!
Long-term hiree 66091 passes Besford in excellent autumnal conditions with the 4V44 10.45 Daventry-Wentloog Tescoliner; just before England entered its second national lockdown. This was my first encounter of this Shed carrying the DRS Corporate livery, it was working for its previous operator DB Cargo for my last sighting of it a year and a half earlier - flickr.com/photos/135352375@N08/33897368378/in/photolist-....
This was a welcome return to this location after a lengthy absence to this popular spot, nearly five years to the date too! (www.flickr.com/photos/135352375@N08/30543775090/in/photol...). Unfortunately, this was the best I could manage within the couple of hours spent here as the background cloud rolled in to scupper my later targets.
Windy conditions after the snow stopped falling. Some Winters were longer then others. 1970's slide from Wyoming.
Early yesterday morning I went for a walk on the rocks along the beach. Often these are full of tide pools containing anemones, little fish, snails and crabs. As I walked, these trees caught my eye... their shapes are beautiful and they live in what could be described as very harsh conditions.... during high tide these rocks will be battered with waves and during low tide they could endure harsh sunlight or cold nights. None the less, they survive.... Beautifully.

Today there were beautiful weather conditions in the area Waterland, February 24, 2016.
The rain clouds were enormous while the sun was shining at the locations where I took these pictures. I was happy that I came home on my bike without becoming too wet.
This picture is taken on the Uitdammerdijk with left the Kinselmeer and right the IJmeer and Monnickendam at the horizon under the dark hail cloud.
