“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.” ~~~ Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Standing on the edge of the cliff watching the fog roll in to the crevice. You can see fog has filled up the valley my home is in below.

Milk Motion makes incredible scenes, almost every month. This month was no exception and brought us the Water Edge's Scene. The scene is beautifully arranged and the bridge stands over water filled with lilly pads and cattails. The party balloons are perhaps my new favorite thing and I want to rezz these celebratory trees all over Ippos...

Myiarchus cephalotes
(Pale-edged flycatcher / Atrapamoscas montañero)
Pale-edged flycatcher is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela, distributed throughout subtropical montane forest in the Andes.
This species is typically a bird of humid forests and is one of the few species of Myiarchus that is restricted entirely to humid montane forest.

The typical houses of the Ribeira of Porto, in a nonexistent perspective created as fusion of several images (one for each house façade) taken from ground level and always maintaining the focus plane parallel to itself, to ensure maximum resolution from left to right edge. The consequent parallax shifts and perspective distortions were eliminated in post-processing [Nikkor 16-35mm at 16mm, original size 185 megapixels]
After posting lots of bleak, snowy landscapes lately, I thought I'd post something from high summer. This was taken in a Derbyshire meadow in July, looking towards Bamford Edge.
Le grand cormoran adulte en plumage nuptial est tout noir, avec des reflets bleu et vert-bronze. Le dos est gris-bronze avec des lisérés foncés. La queue est noire et assez longue. Une tache blanche sur la cuisse apparaît pendant la période nuptiale.
La tête est noire, avec quelques plumes blanches sur la crête peu fournie composée de quelques plumes plus longues. Les joues et la gorge sont blanches. Les yeux sont verts, allant de l'émeraude au turquoise. Le bec légèrement crochu et puissant est noirâtre avec la base jaune. Les pattes et les doigts palmés sont noirs.

A world of fantasy up on Ipstones Edge - just about 2 miles from where I live. The Tree stump in the foreground, to me, has the look of a throne where some woodland deity sits and lauds over his or her moorland subjects! When the sun is just rising and the morning mist lies close to the ground (as we see here) special magical powers abound!
I took some time to develop this image, I made two different exposures out in the field and then merged them. I also used quite a few layers and masks working with blur, contrast, hue and levels to achieve the dreamy fantasia I was after.
Looking west along Stanage Edge. Somehow I've manged to capture the view without anyone else in shot on what was a very popular walk on this particular morning

Having problems with Flickr yet again tonight, so please bear with me while I view your photos:)
Dún Aonghasa (Unofficial anglicised version Dun Aengus) is the best-known of several prehistoric hill forts on the Aran Islands of County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It lies on Inis Mór, at the edge of a 100-metre-high (330 ft) cliff.
A popular tourist attraction, Dún Aonghasa is an important archaeological site.
History
It is not known exactly when Dún Aonghasa was built, though it is now thought that most of the structures date from the Bronze Age and Iron Age. T. F. O'Rahilly surmised in what is known as O'Rahilly's historical model that it was built in the 2nd century BC by the Builg following the Laginian conquest of Connacht.Excavations at the site indicate that the first construction goes back to 1100 BC, when rubble was piled against large upright stones to form the first enclosure. Around 500 BC, the triple wall defenses were probably constructed along the fort's western side.
The 19th-century artist George Petrie called "Dún Aonghasa" "the most magnificent barbaric monument in Europe". Its name, meaning "Fort of Aonghas", may refer to the pre-Christian god of the same name described in Irish mythology, or the mythical king, Aonghus mac Úmhór. It has thus traditionally been associated with the Fir Bolg.
Form and function
The fort consists of a series of four concentric walls of dry stone construction, built on a high cliff some one hundred metres above the sea. At the time of its construction sea levels were considerably lower and a recent Radio Telefis Eireann documentary estimates that originally it was 1000 metres from the sea. Surviving stonework is four metres wide at some points. The original shape was presumably oval or D-shaped but parts of the cliff and fort have since collapsed into the sea. Outside the third ring of walls lies a defensive system of stone slabs, known as a cheval de frise, planted in an upright position in the ground and still largely well-preserved. These ruins also feature a huge rectangular stone slab, the function of which is unknown. Impressively large among prehistoric ruins, the outermost wall of Dún Aonghasa encloses an area of approximately 6 hectares (14 acres).
Today
The walls of Dún Aonghasa have been rebuilt to a height of 6m and have wall walks, chambers, and flights of stairs. The restoration is easily distinguished from the original construction by the use of mortar.[citation needed]
There is a small museum illustrating the history of the fort and its possible functions. Also in the vicinity is a Neolithic tomb and a small heritage park featuring examples of a traditional thatched cottage and an illegal poteen distillery.

the eternity between Monday and the next weekend...
Happy Macro Monday everyone!
This cube is part of a perpetual calendar I have, consisting of four cubes (weekday, 2x date, and month), its edge length is a little less than 1 cm (= about 0.3937007874 inches). I put it on a mirror and used a table-top tripod. Light sources were the ceiling light and a little bit of blue hour remaining light from the window.
