Red Dead Nettle / lamium purpureum. Stanton Canal, Derbyshire. 10/04/20.
Red Dead Nettle is usually a low growing, sprawling sort of plant, but it will readily use taller neighbouring wildflowers for support when it can. If that happens, RDN can grow up to 40cms tall.
Easy to dismiss, it actually has very attractive flowers and is worthy of a closer look, particularly in Spring when it's at it's best. It is much beloved by bees as a nectar source.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.

I entered this shot along with a few others in the 2012 Better Photography Awards a few months ago and im pleased to say this image was awarded a silver award and it claimed 11th spot overall in the Landscape section.
To say i was stoked was an understatement, very happy as only second comp i had ever entered.
My other shots earned a silver and 2 Bronze as well.
Aiming for Gold next year.. :-)
This is a 2 shot pano, taken on a great foggy morning at a local dam.
Very hard to know what the judges are looking for, as the last 2 years comps have been won by BW images which is quite strange considering a BW image on Flickr barely raises an eyebrow in regards to views when compared to a coloured image.
Any thoughts /ideas why that would be ?
I know there are many on here who do a lot of superb BW and i have always leaned to BW when i think it works better, personal taste i guess, Ansel Adams always shot in BW but he had no choice :-)
Anyway thats my musings for a sunday.
Hope you enjoy and many thanks for viewing my stream and pics.:-)
Got some new lightning brushes for PS and decided to try them out on this old shot from a foggy day a few months back. Added some cracks to the pavement and darkened the whole tone to give it a more stormy effect
Dead Vlei est une cuvette d'argile blanche située près du célèbre salar de Sossusvlei, dans le désert de Namib, en Namibie. Son nom est aussi écrit DeadVlei ou Deadvlei et signifie « le marais mort » (de l'anglais dead, mort, et l'afrikaans vlei, lac ou marais dans une vallée entre les dunes).
Dead Vlei est entouré par les dunes de sable les plus élevées du monde, dont la plus haute qui atteint entre 300 et 400 mètres (350 mètres en moyenne, surnommée « Big Daddy » ou « Crazy Dune »). La zone s'est formée quand des inondations ont détourné une rivière sur l'endroit, créant un marais permettant à des acacias du désert (Acacia erioloba) d'y pousser ; plus tard, les dunes ont entouré la zone et bloqué l'arrivée d'eau. Les arbres sont morts, du fait qu'il n'y a plus assez d'eau. Il reste toutefois des plantes encore vivantes telles que des Salsolas, adaptées à survivre de la brume du matin et des très rares pluies. Les troncs des arbres morts, qui sont estimés à environ 900 ans, sont désormais de couleur noire du fait que le soleil intense les a brûlés. Bien qu'il ne soit pas pétrifié, leur bois ne se décompose pas car il est trop sec.
Two thousand year old dead trees along the lake of Molenplas, Stevensweert Netherlands, now form a piece of art
Dead Vlei, Sossusvlei, Namibia, soon after sunrise. Within a few hours, the temperature of this dry pan will rise well above 40°C
A tree I was very fond of. This picture was taken in November 2020, and by December of the same year it had been felled.

Hence "Dead Man Walking".
I decided to post this analogue picture with ca. 24 MP. I find it curious to observe the performance of a 1959 lens.

Subject: Dead Sunflower, kept on my shelf in an empty glass jar for 2 and half years. The cobwebs are realm the withered, worn and aged look is real and my love for objects like this is real. Shot with a Nikon D200, vintage Nikkor E series MF f1.8 lens with a Nikkor #1 and #2 close-up filter attached in natural light. Thank you for looking.
The remains of dead trees claimed by Colliford Lake.
These remains were actually fully out of the water when I last photographed them at the end of September this year (previous photo titled "Lost Lagoon"). Our long, dry summer had depleted the water level to reveal them. But now, after the winter rain, the reservoir is starting to recover - and reclaiming these trees once again.
The water was pretty flat in this sheltered area of the lake, and the addition of a 10 stop filter lengthened the exposure to completely flatten the water - giving mirror-like reflections.

I think this was gonna be a second version of a wraith I made, a bit in the style of Pokemon's Darkrai. Never saw the light of day because I was quite unhappy with it, however we've now entered the spooky season so I'm posting him (a year after his conception).
Found while out shed hunting. Not sure what killed him but by the looks of his antlers he was healthy!
Finding this Mill wasn’t a walk in the park but persistence can prevail when Google & Garmin are on the job. Morgan's Mill, (Lermond Mill) is a very historic mill complex on Payson Road in Union, Maine. With a history stretching to the late 18th century, and its present buildings from the early 19th century, it is one of the oldest operational water-powered mills in the state of Maine.
