Finally back in the Dales this week and a venture to Scale Haw Force. One of the less well known Dales waterfalls but a suprising delight to visit. Always keen to get an unusual angle i scrambled to this perch which although only about 5 feet away avoided the worst of the spray. Still somewhat hidden from view by the last of the summers overgrowth it allowed for some great contrast. I expect this waterfall will transform nicely over the coming months so definately worth a return trip. As ever thanks for viewing. Have a great week.
Painted Lady Butterfly: -
This species is a migrant to our shores and, in some years, the migration can be spectacular. The most-recent spectacle, in 2009, is considered to be one of the greatest migrations ever, with sightings from all over the British Isles that are definitely on a par with previous cardui years.
This species originates from north Africa, and it has been suggested that the urge to migrate is triggered when an individual encounters a certain density of its own kind within a given area. This theory makes perfect sense, since this species can occur in high densities that result in food plants being stripped bare on occasion with many larvae perishing as a result.
Unfortunately, this species is unable to survive our winter in any stage. This is a real shame, for not only does this species often arrive in large numbers, but is a welcome sight as it nectars in gardens throughout the British Isles in late summer. This butterfly has a strong flight and can be found anywhere in the British Isles, including Orkney and Shetland. An interesting fact is that this butterfly is the only butterfly species ever to have been recorded from Iceland.

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.)
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Svolvær is the administrative centre of Vågan Municipality in Nordland County, Norway. It is located on the island of Austvågøya in the Lofoten archipelago, along the Vestfjorden. The 2.37-square-kilometre (590-acre) town has a population (2018) of 4,720 which gives the town a population density of 1,992 inhabitants per square kilometre (5,160/sq mi).
Here's another composition from the day Kendra and I had a nice storm system pass through during the mid afternoon at Lake Tahoe's Sand Harbor.
We got really lucky with the weather that trip. We had still waters and a colorful sunset the first night and morning. Then we had a storm rear its beautiful head the 2nd day and had a light snowfall on us for our sunset shoot turning into tons of fresh snow for sunrise the next day. By sunset, it was clear, but we got nice shots. Variety is the spice of life!
Just going down memory lane at the moment and this shot jumped out at me. Have a great weekend ahead everyone!

The last empty space (formerly a outdoor sports pitch) in the Rotterdam Hillekop quarter finally is no more. From L to R: Cité student/starters tenement building (by Tangram architecten, 2010), the post-modern UWV office (by OZP, 2009 ) and the construction site of a Rotterdam University for Higher (and in this case Mid-level) Professional education building.

The fin whale, also known as finback whale or common rorqual is a cetacean belonging to the parvorder of baleen whales. It is the second-longest species of cetacea on Earth after the blue whale. The largest reportedly grow to 27.3 m (89.6 ft) long with a maximum confirmed length of 25.9 m (85 ft), a maximum recorded weight of nearly 74 tonnes, and a maximum estimated weight of around 114 tonnes.
The fin whale's body is long and slender, coloured brownish-grey with a paler underside. At least two recognized subspecies exist, in the North Atlantic and the Southern Hemisphere. It is found in all the major oceans, from polar to tropical waters, absent only from waters close to the pack ice at the poles and relatively small areas of water away from the open ocean. The highest population density occurs in temperate and cool waters. Its food consists of small schooling fish, squid, and crustaceans including copepods and krill.
This is three of the six we saw in a small pod offshore from the island.

View of the the Upper Tahquamenon Falls- -three second exposure with a B+W ND106 six stop solid neutral density filter on a Fuji XT1 + XF 55-200mm.
The upper falls are more 60m / 200 feet across with a drop of approximately 15m / 50 feet with a peak spring runoff volume of nearly 200,000L / 50,000 gallons per second- -making the upper falls one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River. The upper falls lie with in Michigan's Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Luce County.
The yellowish / brown colour of the water stems from tannins leached from cedar swamps from the rivers watershed. The foam on the river results from the combination of soft water (low mineral concentration), lignin proteins from decaying organic matter, and turbidity.

This is from a wet plate collodion negative made using a Brownie 3B! That simple meniscus lens is surprisingly capable, especially when using the small aperture.
This was a 6 minute exposure, using the smallest aperture in the shutter. The negative was not quite ideal, so I used the Iodine redevelopment process to add density.

Arriving from the altiplano in La Paz, one suddenly discovers, at the foot of the majestic Andean peaks whose snow-covered peaks rise to over 6000 meters, the enormous basin sheltering this teeming metropolis of more than one and a half million souls. An Indian city, La Paz is today indisputably the capital of the country: seat of government, assemblies, church and cultural life.
