Considering guitars have been my most-enduring passion for most of my life, they feature relatively rarely in my photo stream. I suppose because I play them incessantly, rather than photograph them.
Last week, Carolin and I had a couple of nights away in Ocean Grove and I took my 'travelling' guitar with me. As mentioned last time it featured, a few years ago now, I picked this guitar up 21 years ago in Melbourne at a second hand store. It has always been my second guitar, the one I travelled with because whilst I love it, I would not be as dismayed if it was damaged in someway, compared to my beloved 21st birthday guitar.
Samick are a South-Korean brand that have built guitars for a number of notable companies, as well as some of their own range. This time last year, I actually took the time to research the serial number of my model. It transpires it was a higher end model in their early 90s range.
The passing of time and some intense playing has not been kind to my 'birthday' guitar, to the extent that the fret board is now quite worn with definite finger indentations in the first three frets. With this in mind, I am semi-retiring it and will predominantly play this guitar for the foreseeable future, saving the other one for special occasions. As far as I can tell, the birthday guitar fretboard would not be easy to detach from the neck and I don't really want any attempted repairs to damage the guitar while it is still playable.
My most recent self portrait, taken a couple of weeks ago among these ancient ruins we stumbled upon in middle of nowhere... lost in the highlands of Scotland.
My partner Kris and I just completed a 400km trek by foot across the west coast of Scotland, starting from Fort William and navigating through the rugged highlands, the barren and endless bogs, and the numerous mountain passes for 19 days until we reached the very end of the land in the north at Cape Wrath.
And yes... along with all our camping gear, food, camera gear and survival necessities for nearly 3 weeks, we did also carry a sword and medieval dress for the entire 400km. Just in case the creative urge beckoned, like it did when we came upon these ruins.
There is so much I would love to share about this journey, I don't even know where to begin! I am currently working on a short film of the trek, which I'll be releasing in the next couple of weeks; it will be far easier to just show you the journey through video form, rather than try to put the adventure into words. So for now, I leave you with this new image... and hope you'll stay tuned for the release of my new video soon!
The appeal of this exceptional Cistercian abbey remains as enduring as ever
An area of outstanding beauty complemented by this outstanding beauty in stone. If only the walls could talk! The chants of countless monks echo through the masonry here. Despite the shell of this grand structure being open to the skies, it remains the best-preserved medieval abbey in Wales. Although the abbey church was rebuilt under the patronage of Roger Bigod, lord of nearby Chepstow Castle, in the late 13th century, the monastery retains its original design.
Tintern was only the second Cistercian foundation in Britain, and the first in Wales. The present-day remains are a mixture of building works covering a 400-year period between 1131 and 1536. Very little remains of the first buildings but you will marvel at the vast windows and later decorative details displayed in the walls, doorways and soaring archways.
The lands of the abbey were divided into agricultural units or granges, worked on by lay brothers.
On September 3, 1536 Abbot Wyche surrendered Tintern Abbey to King Henry VIII’s officials and ended a way of life which had lasted 400 years.
.. but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen.
It is the distant hills once more in sight,
and the enduring constellations above them once again.

After enduring a half mile trip in a metal boat along a small, almost claustrophobic tunnel that they used for mining lead ( I can't imagine how it must have been for the miners and the children they used to jump up and down on the bellows to keep the air clean!!! ), we eventually reached this cavern, which was only a bit impressive, on the scale of impressive caverns. We were lucky that our hard hats took the impact of the tunnel roof - poor Peter who used to be 6'3" tall ( I think he has shrunk a bit in recent years, but please don't tell. him I said that!) took the most hits and came away with a bad neck!! When we got off the boat we had to climb 107 wet slippy steps to get back up to ground level. Peter was wearing Birkenstocks as he forgot to pack his shoes!!!!! All in all, for £20 each, we would rather have gone on a cruise ship during Covid!
Some of the best old houses are the ones that have changed the least. It's hard to find 170+ year old houses that haven't been drastically altered or modernized in the 20'th century. I've had my eye on this house for many years and up until a couple of years ago it was still lived in. This old place has had some changes but it still feels like a house from the 1800's. This is the side of the house and that back porch wall that is collapsing is from a later date. I believe the house and outbuildings are from the 1820's and the main house was likely remodeled and enlarged around 1850.
One of the Keystone Arch railroad bridges near Chester, Massachusetts. As part of the first U.S. railroad to pass over a mountain in 1840, they were designated a national historic landmark in 2021. Nice trail with some great visuals.
Seeing my world order being overturned and shredded to pieces, values being carelessly betrayed, and my head being filled with ghosts, I can depend on enduring love.
The largest and brightest region of star formation in the Local Group of galaxies, including the Milky Way, is called 30 Doradus (or, informally, the Tarantula Nebula). Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small neighbor galaxy to the Milky Way, 30 Doradus has long been studied by astronomers who want to better understand how stars like the Sun are born and evolve.
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has frequently looked at 30 Doradus over the lifetime of the mission, often under the direction of Dr. Leisa Townsley who passed away in the summer of 2022. These data will continue to be collected and analyzed, providing opportunities for scientists both now and in the future to learn more about star formation and its related processes.
This new composite image combines the X-ray data from Chandra observations of 30 Doradus with an infrared image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope that was released in the fall of 2022. The X-rays (royal blue and purple) reveal gas that has been heated to millions of degrees by shock waves — similar to sonic booms from airplanes — generated by the winds from massive stars. The Chandra data also identify the remains of supernova explosions, which will ultimately send important elements such as oxygen and carbon into space where they will become part of the next generation of stars.
The infrared data from JWST (red, orange, green, and light blue) show spectacular canvases of cooler gas that provide the raw ingredients for future stars. JWST’s view also reveals “protostars,” that is, stars in their infancy, just igniting their stellar engines. The chemical composition of 30 Doradus is different from most of the nebulas found in the Milky Way. Instead it represents the conditions in our galaxy that existed several billion years ago when stars were forming at a much faster pace than astronomers see today. This, combined with its relative proximity and brightness, means that 30 Doradus provides scientists with an opportunity to learn more about how stars formed in our galaxy in the distant past.

Bannack State Park - Montana
Back in July of 1862 one of the original Pike's Peaks group members, John White, discovered gold in one of the creeks around Bannack, MT. The city grew quickly and by 1864 around 10K people were in and around Bannack. By 1874, the area was mined out and most the population quickly went elsewhere. The town barely survived through the 1930's and by the 1940's the population dwindle down to so few that there weren't enough children to keep the school opened and would then become a ghost town...and is extremely well preserved. This ol' International truck remains, with gear shift still working, in a quiet and isolated part of western Montana.
Resilient wildflowers grow on the rocky volcanic shore of St. Mary's lake in Glacier National Park.
I had planned a sunrise shoot on the coast of St. Mary lake to retrace my footsteps from 2017 when I first visited the park. After shooting more traditional compositions all morning, I spotted these beautiful flowers growing out of the volcanic rocks at the very edge of "beach" I was shooting on. I felt an instant admiration for the fact that this shrub was growing out of these hard rocks where no other plants survive. As the light was fading quickly, I grabbed a few shots of these flowers. I had to wait for the wind to quiet down in between shots to get these flowers sharp and in focus. It may not be an award winning image, but it's still special to me as a reminder to keep fighting against adversities.
Soaring over a landscape rich with wildlife, pristine lakes, and majestic alpine vistas, the Teton Range stands as a testament to generations of stewards. For over 11,000 years, communities have thrived in the valley known as Jackson Hole, turning these mountains into more than just peaks—they embody imagination and enduring human connection.
This structure is an enduring testament to iconic Australian bush ingenuity and a symbol of the growth and strength of the Australian wheat industry.

Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Map of Central Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.
captured near place des lices in saint-tropez, this stunning mercedes 280 sl automatic embodies the epitome of classic automotive beauty. the black and white tones emphasize its sleek lines and timeless design, while the soft reflections on its polished chrome evoke an era of refined sophistication. produced between 1967 and 1971, the mercedes 280 sl, also known as the "pagoda" due to its distinctive concave hardtop, is a symbol of luxury and engineering excellence. this photograph not only celebrates the car's enduring charm but also the allure of an evening in one of the most glamorous destinations in the world.
“Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and wonder surrounding him.” - Ansel Adams

Taken in Wisley gardens on a dull, wet day. Slight sharpening and contrast adjustments. I love the way these hydrangea seedheads hang on through wintry weather to provide form and interest and also the new interest added by the leaf skeletons as the year progresses.

After enduring three days of cloud and mist the sun finally came out, albeit very weakly during the final run-pasts of a TLE charter with 65894 on the North Yorkshire Moors. The J27 is seen here with a pick up goods at Moorgates as the final beam of sunshine hits the line.

The Rough-legged Hawk, seen in yesterday's upload, circles warily, keeping one eye on the roadkill that no doubt would sustain it for a day or two, and the other on a suspicious red Toyota parked nearby, wherein sat a happy photographer, clicking away.

But I digress.
It is Remembrance Day in Canada. Our community will gather at the cenotaph at the end of Centre Street for a brief ceremony. (Note: "cenotaph" is derived from two Greek words meaning "empty" and "tomb".) School children will recite "In Flanders Fields". This poem was written in 1915 by a Canadian doctor and teacher, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, who served in Belgium and France during the First World War.
"It is a terrible state of affairs," he wrote to a friend just prior to departure. "I am really rather afraid, but more afraid to stay at home with my conscience."
Enduring the Battle of Ypres in 1915, he wrote to his mother: "The general impression in my mind is of a nightmare. We have been in the most bitter of fights. For seventeen days and seventeen nights none of us have had our clothes off, nor our boots even, except occasionally. In all that time while I was awake, gunfire and rifle fire never ceased for sixty seconds ..... And behind it all was the constant background of the sights of the dead, the wounded, the maimed, and a terrible anxiety lest the line should give way."
John McCrae died of pneumonia in January 1918. Here is his famous poem.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields
Forced to spend the day away from bustling crowds, frenetic consumerism, and an otherwise busy existence.

As enduring as the game-viewing is the liberating sense of space that characterizes the Serengeti Plains, stretching across sunburnt savannah to a shimmering golden horizon at the end of the earth. And there are also wooded hills and towering termite mounds, rivers lined with fig trees and acacia woodland stained orange by dust.
Popular the Serengeti might be, but it remains so vast that you may be the only human audience when a pride of lions masterminds a siege, focussed unswervingly on its next meal.
