Another of my never-ending backlog of beautiful dahlias from the Point Defiance Dahlia Trial Garden in Tacoma, Washington.

Enough said. #MeToo

I was in Potsdam, Berlin a few days ago, specifically in the business park that houses the Babelsberg Studio, and if you know your movie history you’ll know it’s relevance. The surrounding environment, much like Köpenick, is a treasure trove for Minimalist and industrial architecture. It was a perfect day for it, well-formed individualistic clouds, blue skies, bright and sunny, dry and warm. I snapped off quite a few until I got caught by security.

 

I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! 😊

Defiant to the end – this little crab was doing its best to make the yellow-crowned night heron drop it so it could scurry away. In the end, no such luck.

 

This was my first visit to Bunche Beach in Ft. Myers and certainly not to be my last. Except for the ferocious no-see-ums, it’s a great place for bird photography and finding king's crown shells for my dear wife. Happiness on two fronts!

 

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

A rather striking dahlia from the Point Defiance Dahlia Trial Garden in Tacoma, Washington.

50049 "Defiance" is caught at speed approaching Llanelli on Friday 8th September 2006 working 1B97 1413 Fishguard to Cardiff. I remember this trip well as I had been aiming to get to St. Ishmael for the shot but the traffic on the day contrived otherwise.

White throated mountain gem staring down an aggressive lesser violetear.

Tall buck in defiant stance.

Following very stormy conditions last weekend, a big swell attracted the more experienced surfers to the Beaches on the coast of Sydney. This surfer gestures the wave as a defiant act once he has conquered the wave.

This old tree has been struck by lightning so many times and still stands in spite of that. From its pieces lying at its base to its disfigured growth pattern to the outstretched branches giving what could be interpreted as extended middle fingers to all that try to do it harm.

I'll fake it through the day

With some help from johnny walker red

Send the poison rain down the drain

To put bad thoughts in my head

Two tickets torn in half

And a lot of nothing to do

Do you miss me, miss misery

Like you say you do?

 

A man in the park

Read the lines in my hand

Told me I'm strong

Hardly ever wrong I said, "man, you're mean"

 

You had plans for both of us

That involved a trip out of town

To a place I've seen in a magazine

That you left lying around

I don't have you with me but

I keep a good attitude

Do you miss me, miss misery

Like you say you do?

 

I know you'd rather see me gone

Than to see me the way that I am

But I am in the life anyway

 

Next door the tv's flashing

Blue frames on the wall

It's a comedy of errors, you see

It's about taking a fall

To vanish into oblivion

Is easy to do

And I try to be but you know me

I come back when you want me to

Do you miss me miss misery

Like you say you do?

 

As long as I'm on the subject of Kautz Creek, here it is where the Wonderland crosses it. As torn up, eroded, and abused as it was I couldn't help but think that the land was standing in defiance of the mountain it was facing, like the rest of us it will lose in the end, but in the meantime walk tall.

 

Blow it up and look around, the land is telling the story all by itself.

Another beautiful dahlia from the Point Defiance Dahlia Trial Garden in Tacoma, Washington.

 

Shenandoah Valley Railroad Local heads South at Fort Defiance, VA with cars for Staunton.

Trying out my custom textures on my latest character. Something about the lips feels off to me.

 

Also ignore Ariele in the background being extremely creepy haha.

I have always been fascinated by the Limestone Pavements of North Yorkshire. Now begins the challenge to photograph them with I hope some degree of artistic merit. On this day the wind blew so hard I was simply trying to keep everything including me from blowing away.

Ulley Country Park

Photographed in Tacoma, WA, the forest in Point Defiance is stunning. The ferns and hanging moss make this place a must see and a short hike for the day.

Defiance - The iconic dawn view past the lone birch tree and down the length of Buttermere.

 

I am magnetically drawn to Buttermere; its beauty, peace and solitude all strike an accord with me. It was Buttermere I turned to as my first location to visit following the lifting of lockdown restrictions in spring.

 

Craving the sharp dawn air on my senses and the peace and tranquillity of soaking up nature at its best, this was a location I’d dearly missed for so long. This shot was from the very first set I took after the extended absence from the field.

 

The little birch still stands proud in a mark of defiance of its environment and continues to hang on despite all the odds, as progressive seasons take their toll on its ever dwindling branches. A defiance and survival against the challenges thrown at it which, in part, I see echoed in some of the challenges we too find in our world around us at present.

Back to the daily routine - some people forget that wheelchairs cannot fly over obstacles :)

Defiance

Balevullin Beach Tiree September 2021 after the remnants of an Atlantic storm arrived the good surfers arrived. Great fun to watch and try different ideas for photographing them. This is a 1/4 second hand held so a slightly impressionistic approach. I loved the way the water was glowing from the turbulence within and behind and the scale given by the waiting surfer

 

In the bloomy morning, sun sleeps in river clouds, and dead trees still await their ending. They still stand as the nature grown them, but now only looking those horizons of endless defiance against the time...

Forte de São Francisco Xavier in Porto.

PREX 2026 has seen better days as it sits OOS on a spur of the ND&W. Numerous mechanical issues overtime have led to this unit being sidelined and replaced with an LTEX GP15-1, ending an era of Santa Fe painted Geeps on the Wabash 5th District. In terms of a successful business, Pioneer Railcorp, now Patriot Rail, have done a decent job at rehabilitating a once almost bankrupt railroad while under Maumee and Western ownership. However for railfans, the days of historic geeps and back trackage seem to be coming to an end.

 

Defiance, Ohio

With a pair of YN2 painted GEs leading the way, westbound vans cross the frozen Auglaize River on the former B&O main in Defiance.

The western skies display a broad palette of colours at sunset over the Ayres on a late summer evening. A small cluster of concrete posts and some fragments of old barb wire poke up through the Marram. Another 16x9 image from me, which social media algorithms tend to hate but I honestly don’t care. For me the narrow almost semi-panoramic feel of the 16x9, makes it my favourite landscape format. The day I start changing my photography style to suite Instagram, is the day I stop pressing the shutter button ✊
