.....well it goes on and on and on and on, on and on and on.
(a line from a Phil Cool TV comedy impersonation of the Jazz legend George Melly)
I took one of these with the normal slower shutter speed and this one. I like this one a little bit more because I can see the awsome amount of water coming down. I think Mr. Reed has one of these with a real unicorn in it.

Pei-yun 佩筠 worked with me on a client shoot for an athletic apparel company. She was not just a model in a jock's getup, but a former collegiate champion swimmer with eight gold medals to her name. She was a joy to work with, and selecting the best images is difficult because she did so well.

One of my perks of my new job is being outside working on wind parks for future construction. I always have my mobile with me and the Iphone came to good use in this image.
I'm always delighted to see trees left as they are like this wonderful Oak in the middle of the scene amongst the neighbouring 4 Giant wind turbines.
thick blanket,
veiled the sky,
dawn light prevented,
mist coving,
tiny water drops covering,
every leaf,
branch,
twig,
flower and web,
clarity of the world reduced to detail,
droplets hanging,
defining the hidden,
able to see clearly,
what usually unseen,
time to stop,
breath,
time to reflect,
ponder,
dream,
once mists clear,
return to labour,
serving humanity.
Lily was known far and wide for her unwavering positivity and her ability to find joy in the simplest of things. She had a unique way of making everyone around her feel cherished.
But beneath that radiant smile and those sparkling eyes, there lay a story that only a few knew. Lily had been through more than her fair share of trials and tribulations. Life hadn't always been easy for her. She had faced heartbreak, loss, and moments of despair that would have left most people shattered.
The dark circles around her eyes were a testament to the countless nights she had spent awake, battling her inner demons and wrestling with her fears. Those circles told a story of sleepless nights spent holding onto hope, even when it felt like the world was crumbling around her.
You see, Lily's happiness wasn't a facade; it was a conscious choice she made every single day. She knew the depths of sorrow, and she understood the fragility of life more than anyone. Her pain had sculpted her into a reservoir of empathy, allowing her to connect with others on a profound level.
The photograph captured a moment when Lily had just emerged from one of her most challenging battles. The darkness beneath her eyes was a reminder of the resilience that lay within her, the strength that had carried her through even when the odds seemed insurmountable. Her smile wasn't a denial of her struggles; it was a triumphant declaration that she refused to be defined by them.
Lily's story was a reminder that behind every smile, there can be hidden battles that we know nothing about. It taught us that true strength isn't just about overcoming adversity but also about embracing it and using it as a catalyst for growth.
And so, when you look at the photograph of Lily—the woman with the smile and the dark circles around her eyes – remember that there is a story of courage, resilience, and unwavering hope. She was a living embodiment of the fact that even in the darkest of nights, there is always a glimmer of light waiting to emerge with the dawn.

My Amaryllis bulb is ready to hatch. It's beauty will last for several weeks this winter.
Happy New Year!
Exmoor is loosely defined as an area of hilly open moorland in west Somerset and north Devon in South West England, named after the River Exe, the source of which is situated in the centre of the area, 2 miles NW of Simonsbath. The moor has given its name to a National Park, which includes the Brendon Hills, the East Lyn Valley, the Vale of Porlock and 55 kilometres (34 mi) of the Bristol Channel coast. The highest point on Exmoor is Dunkery Beacon; at 519 metres (1,703 ft) it is also the highest point in Somerset. The total area of the Exmoor National Park is 692.8 square kilometres (267.5 sq mi), of which 71% is in Somerset and 29% in Devon.
Exmoor was designated a National Park in 1954, under the 1949 National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act. The Exmoor National Park is primarily an upland area with a dispersed population living mainly in small villages and hamlets. The largest settlements are Porlock, Dulverton, Lynton, and Lynmouth, which together contain almost 40% of the park's population. Lynton and Lynmouth are combined into one parish and are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway.
Exmoor has 55 kilometres (34 mi) of coastline, including the highest sea cliffs in England, which reach a height of 314 metres (1,030 ft) at Culbone Hill. However, the crest of this coastal ridge of hills is more than 1.6 km (0.99 mi) from the sea. If a cliff is defined as having a slope greater than 60 degrees, the highest sea cliff on mainland Britain is Great Hangman near Combe Martin at 318 metres (1,043 ft) high, with a cliff face of 250 metres (820 ft). Its sister cliff is the 250 metres (820 ft) Little Hangman, which marks the edge of Exmoor.
The scenery of rocky headlands, ravines, waterfalls and towering cliffs gained the Exmoor coast recognition as a heritage coast in 1991. With its huge waterfalls and caves, this dramatic coastline has become an adventure playground for both climbers and explorers. The cliffs provide one of the longest and most isolated seacliff traverses in the UK. The South West Coast Path, at 1,014 kilometres (630 mi) the longest National Trail in England and Wales, starts at Minehead and runs along all of Exmoor's coast. There are small harbours at Lynmouth, Porlock Weir and Combe Martin. Once crucial to coastal trade, the harbours are now primarily used for pleasure; individually owned sail boats and non-commercial fishing boats are often found in the harbours. The Valley of the Rocks beyond Lynton is a deep dry valley that runs parallel to the nearby sea and is capped on the seaward side by large rocks and Sexton's Burrows forms a natural breakwater to the Harbour of Watermouth Bay on the coast.

After a few days visit, I have to say that Exmoor national park is a hidden gem on the western coast of England. Stunning scenery and picturesque villages create a lovely combination of a peaceful place that is really worth visiting.
There are a lot of trails in the national park, both on the coast and in the hilly interior - and we of course tried a few of those.
The red mini lighthouse is called "Unterfeuer" by the islanders of Sylt. As far as I know it is a miniature lighthouse. I have no idea how the name could be translated. Heck, I don't even know that it exactly means in German.
Two weeks after this shot was taken, the Unterfeuer was dismantled. The heavy storms of late would taken it to the sea sooner or later anyway.
Enjoy!
