The morning fog was just starting to burn off and the horn at Owl's Head Light was still sounding its warning.

Shipwreck Reflected, Fleetwood, Lancashire
I LOVE these old shipwrecks near the Marsh Wet Llands at Fleetwood on the Wyre Estuary. This is one of two metal bodied boats (the others are wooden and are in various states of decay).
This was shot at the end of Feb 2021 during quite a high tide which allows for this boat in particular to be completely surrounded by the incoming tide. One word of warning though, this area is full of deep gullies filled with gloopy mud. You cannot see them during a high tide as they are under water so if you are going to visit during a high tide, arrive a good while beforehand and study the layout of the area. You might just be grateful once the water starts filling up.

Back in time again to the late afternoon of Saturday 10th April 2021, when I briefly visited the glacial lake of Llyn y Dywarchen - located near the village of Drws y Coed in Dyffryn Nantlle, Snowdonia National Park, Gwynedd, North West Wales.
Now a reservoir and standing at 500m above sea level it nestles in a hollow between the sides of Y Garn 947m (in the right foreground above the dam wall) and Mynydd Mawr 698m behind me. It's also a great stargazing location.
Y Garn is also the tenth highest of the 15 peaks in Wales over 3,000ft.
Took this panoramic shot when looking South from the slope of Clogwyn y Garreg a peak rising steeply above the lake's Northern shore. It comprises 7 stitched images using a tripod with a Canon 24-70mm Ultrasonic lens, polarising and neutral density filters.
The distant centre peak is Moel Hebog 783m (Welsh for Bare Hill of the Hawk) which overshadows the village of Beddgelert. Because of its varied and exposed rock faces, it's often visited by Geology Students.
This is 'Work in Progress' and I will certainly allow more time next visit to fully ascend Clogwyn y Garreg which affords stunning summit views!
Water level in the Columbia river is pretty low right now. Only 2 to 3 feet of the tops of these pilings were showing earlier this year. 75 second exposure.
Despite the foggy weather hawks and other animals are always out on the hunt. I liked this image for the change in density of the fog as you went further into the marsh.
The view to the Storr - Looking across Loch Fada and to the Old Man of Storr.
A classic view that really comes into its own with a still loch and reflections of the Storr. Alas no reflections for me on my recent visit, I had to settle for early autumn colours and dappled light instead.

The Inntel Hotel Zaandam (near Amsterdam). The design by architect Wilfried van Winden consists of some 70 facades that historically are characteristic for this region of Holland. The shades of green accentuated by white lines make it into a lively tapestry of Dutch houses.

This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

A large migratory Falcon from Central Europe / Mongolia that is a partial migrant - meaning some part of the population is migrant. They are irregular and extremely rare visitors to India and per our guide, the last sighting was 2 years ago. This one is much bigger than a peregrine Falcon and looks much bulkier too. I think it is the 2nd largest falcon worldwide after the Gyrfalcon at around 50-57 cms in length with a wingspan of 100-125 cms and weighing around 730-1300g.
This is the second fasted bird in level flight and we saw it hunting in the scrubalnds and even fighting with another falcon (Laggar Falcon). The bird hunts smaller insects, birds and mostly the desert rodents known as Jird locally or Jerbill in English - these rodents are present in good numbers in the desert.
The IUCN status of this bird is sadly endangered and ebird lists the status as sensitive. The bird is quite popular in wild life trade especially in Middle East.
We just concluded a 7 day birding trip to the Desert National Park in North Western India and the trip was amazing. The density of birds was spectacular - there was a huge variety of raptors and a number of Larks, pipits and some critically endangered birds like Vultures and Bustards.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback - very much appreciated.
I visited Blyth in Northumberland at the weekend to visit my sister who is in a nursing home and when I came out I noticed this bush of yellow flowers standing to attention in the flower beds surrounding the car park. I don't have a clue what it is? (Is it just me or is the map function not working these days? All it can come up with is "a mysterious place with no name" which is kind of amusing but a tad irritating.)
Chironomus is a genus of nonbiting midges in the subfamily Chironominae of the bloodworm family, Chironomidae, containing several cryptic species that can only be distinguished by experts based on the characteristics of their giant chromosomes. The larvae of several species inhabit the profundal zone where they can reach relatively high densities. They use a combination of hemoglobin-like proteins and undulatory movements in their burrows to obtain oxygen in poorly oxygenated habitats.
