“Don't stop there. I suppose there are also, what, vampires and werewolves and zombies?"
"Of course there are. Although you mostly find zombies farther south, where the voudun priests are."
"What about mummies? Do they only hang around Egypt?"
"Don't be ridiculous. No one believes in mummies.”

'That which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet.'

This rose, Compassion, has an exquisite scent.
I'm thinking of George Orwell planting roses
in his cottage garden in Wallington.
And of Clare of course, so often in my thoughts.

If there's one place that consistently takes my breath away, it'd be Cley, of course. This was a difficult shot because I was shooting into the sun. The bench looks very grand. It has a fabulous view over the marshes.
Ezekiel 35:8-9 “And I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.”
More often than not, it is a juvenile bird that flies headlong in my direction. I'm not sure if they are naive and trusting or just young and foolish. Tricolored Heron on Horsepen Bayou.
A reflecting pool-fountain transforms to skating ring in winter time, probably the best idea anybody had in City Hall. The reflecting/ skating pool was part of original design in 1962 (Viljo Revell). In recent years some ideas to 'improve' or transform the public square were not too successful. The best idea in years was to install the now iconic 'Toronto' sign, which was only supposed to be temporary. Of course, that was not original idea, Hollywood may have been first (1923).

..."The time is with the month of winter solstice
when the change is due to come
thunder in the other course of heaven
things cannot be destroyed once and for all
change returns success
going and coming without error
action brings good fortune
sunset, sunrise"...

“I'd far rather be happy than right any day."
"And are you?"
"No. That's where it all falls down, of course."
"Pity", said Arthur. "It sounded like rather a good lifestyle otherwise.” (Douglas Adams)
The Charlene A and crew heading out. The cabin light is on, steaming along at 7.5 knots. The fog is heavy, you can smell and taste the salt in the air. It's time to go fishing.
Foinaven in the distance on the left and Arkle looming larger towards the centre.
I am not sure about this image, the surface of Loch Stack was heavily rippled by the wind and uninviting but I persevered with a 10 stop ND filter resulting in a 30 second exposure. What do you think?
August sunsets - looking West. An attractive row of trees at the border of Lansdown golf course and the Cotswold way facing West - what could be a better place to spend a summer evening with camera in hands hoping to catch spectacular sunset colours. This was however as colourful as it got on that evening with thin clouds rapidly dissolved in blue sky.
This shot was taken about 12 minutes before an earlier posted the long exposure image looking toward East (www.flickr.com/photos/sergeysmirnov/53220361633/) - where all the clouds have run away. The Cotswold Way. Lansdown, near Bath. BANES, England, UK.

L'été est une période très prisées pour les courses hippiques à Chantilly.
Summer is a very popular time for horse racing in Chantilly.
A RAAF plane took off in the shared runway with our QANTAS flight in Newcastle Airport. It looks just like a collision from this angle.
An arty take on the 8.53am Redcar - Fiddlers Ferry Power Station (6M17) loaded coal as it passes through York station.
Keep it quiet but Freightliner Shed 66551 was just tagging along for the ride.......

This is "Fancy Pants" from last weekend. After takeoff it put on an aerobatic show for me, weaving around trees and dodging cliff outcrops. Looked like a joyride, but was probably looking for rodents.
As Cal was walking behind the Aston Martin DB9, he couldn't help but glance at the sunset catching the classic lines of the old DB5 parked alongside. He briefly got so excited, he even reached for the gun which has made a sudden appearance in his holster! Clearly he watches too many movies!

Not quite a forced perspective, but let's just call it model photography, featuring the 1/18th scale die-cast Aston Martin DB9, and the wonderful Aston Martin DB5, and of course, Cal - my new model employee! Background is a sunset from Big Hill in Stawell, Victoria.
This is technically a single shot, and no photoshop was used or harmed in the production of this image or to insert the background (apart from minor tweaks to overall brightness)!
