Limestone rock formations and a lonely tree clinging on to life at High Edge in the Peak national park
A photo taken a few weeks ago of the temperature inversion in the Derwent Valley below Curbar Edge. This is a view looking towards Baslow Edge taken from Curbar Edge.
I’ve seen a few photographs of this gnarled tree that grows precariously on this cliff overlooking the Tinkers Creek Gorge, but I never knew exactly where it was until recently. I happened upon it a few weeks ago after an afternoon spent shooting waterfalls in the Bedford Reservation in....you guessed it, Bedford, Ohio. The Tinkers Creek Gorge is an awe inspiring place and I hope to explore it more extensively in the future. If you follow me here on Flickr and also do the Facebook thing, check out my Facebook photography page and give it a "Like".
Gemini Springs is a park centered around its namesake spring in Debary, FL, just on the edge of the St. Johns River in Volusia County, FL. It recently came to light that land surrounding this spring which was given to the city of Debary as conservation land to ensure the continuance of flow at Gemini Springs (which was open to swimming in the nineties but had to close due to its reduced flow leading to high levels of bacteria) has been slated for construction of a housing development, which while not occupying and destroying Gemini Springs directly would such negatively affect the springshed as to perhaps fatally damage the spring over time. Centerpiece to this plan is a St. Johns Water Management District employee who has arranged for his private company to receive large payments while being employed to help orchestra this process in an obvious conflict of interest and corruption. Florida scarcely needs yet another housing community indistinguishable for all the rest and taking more and more middle class home buyers away from small towns, and irrevocably altering the environment while doing so is even more of a travesty.
Taken from the Curbar Edge Gritstone Peak in Derbyshire's National Peak Park, the view down the Derwent Valley is wonderful.

Located in the Peak District National Park in England Stanage Edge is the largest of the gritstone edges that overlook Hathersage in Derbyshire.
The northern part of the edge forms the border between the High Peak of Derbyshire and Sheffield in South Yorkshire. Its highest point is High Neb at 458 metres (1,503 ft) above sea level. Areas of Stanage were quarried in the past to produce Millstones for grinding flour, and some can still be seen abandoned on hillside.
A bit of a different hinting technique and I never caught the move. What looks like the edge of the water on the bank of the bayou is actually a drifting mass of water hyacinth that has set up it own tiny ecosystem on the bayou. This mass is being blown over the surface of the water by the wind. This Tri-colored Heron had set up station on the edge of the drift mass and would fly off over the water and attempt to snag fish while he was in flight. Not sure what type of weed is growing on the edge of the hyacinth, but it has also become a part of the drifting mass. They hyacinth in the background is a separate mass.
Also want to update everyone on tropical storm Imelda. The storm was expected to drift northward yesterday, but tropical storms always have a mind of their own. Instead of the storms drifting northward the flow has been a bit more to the southeast and is dumping huge amounts of waters on Houston. The flooding has begun, and we can only hope that it will be minimal, but that doesn’t ever seem to be the case around. I am high and dry, but a lot of residents are not that fortunate. I know that there is also flooding going on from Houston to Beaumont.

I also want to warn everyone about some gutter garbage people that are present here on Flickr. Perverts trolling for anything that they can put their filthy hands on. Seem like they have returned so make sure you know what you are looking at if your children are on here and have your safe search dialed in as well. Nothing is free from corruption any longer. It just took me far too long to get her posts deleted!!!!

In the quiet corners of suburban gardens and the wild edges of rural landscapes, there's an unassuming performer that often goes unnoticed until its melody fills the air. The Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), perched atop a humble shrub, is not just another bird in the chorus of nature; it's a virtuoso of vocal mimicry.
Back in the day this cabin was built a safe distance from the edge. It had a great view of the Spanish Peaks to the right. Today, what's left is precariously close to the edge of the arroyo. Nature will win this contest. The Arroyo is approx. 100 ft wide and 60 ft deep and goes on for miles. In the BG a Grand Dike towers over the landscape and radiates outward from the mountains like spokes in a wheel.
Our home is just beyond the hill on the left; we hike this area all the time.
The birds sensed that this guy was a threat!
This is definitely a first for me and one of the reasons why I find the bayou so very interesting! You just never know what you are going to find roaming around on the shores. I went to the bayou this past Monday and the water hyacinth problem did seem as bad and so made my way to the Great Blue Heron nest. Saw very little activity and so moved on toward Horsepen Bayou while the tides were still quite low. There were numerous birds foraging in the areas that were exposed at low tide and I was trying to get close enough to them for a shot. I heard a lot of rustling off in the distance and much to my surprise I saw a pack of coyotes come out of the grass on up to the water’s edge. I sat motionless and they didn’t seem concerned by my presence. I fired away and eventually they retreated. I paddled a bit closer to their position and they re-appeared and were really eyeing the birds foraging along the water’s edge. The group of four retreated once again, but I heard some noise behind a clump of reeds and tried to see what it was. I was very fortunate to get the camera up and fire off one shot of this fleeing coyote before he made the cover of the grass. This is my first ever encounter with coyotes in the wild and it was quite the experience.

Beautiful pano from Stanage Edge, Derbyshire. A break in the clouds let a hazy sun work a little magic.
National Trust.
A zoomed & cropped shot on my phone at the mouth of the Arthur River, Tasmania at sunset, 2023. I think the graininess comes over as artistic, rather than just a low grade photo. Colour is true to life, hard to beat a West Coast sunset.
Burbage Edge is a gritstone escarpment overlooking the Burbage district of Buxton in Derbyshire, in the Peak District. The hill's summit, marked by a trig pillar, is 500 metres (1,600 ft) above sea level.
The boundary of the Peak District National Park runs along the ridge and across the summit.
The ridge of Burbage Edge marks the western gritstone edge of the Derbyshire Dome, extending south as Axe Edge and to the north as Combs Moss.
The ridge is the watershed between the River Goyt (Mersey river basin) and the River Wye (Trent river basin). To the west is Goyt's Moss moorland, the Cat and Fiddle Inn and the Upper Goyt Valley.
Following the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, the area of the upper ridge and moorland were designated as "Open Access" land for the public.

To give something to one's self. Perhaps a selfish act. Perhaps even more so when the goal is to cloak or to create invisibilty. Perhaps to hide the truth, or to create a perceived reality.
Or maybe just to have a little fun making online meetings a bit more interesting.
The edge of a sheet of green fabric. A gift to myself for future online, work related, entertainment.
