"Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don't just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live."

Another Halloween and another collaboration with Gwyn. As usual, I am asked to do a photograph but with little else given, so I show up and suddenly I am chased by a deranged witch, with a knife!
Such are the moments of SL.
Mali Bay, latest addition the Sky Tower, model from the movie Oblivion. Up there you can test out your space outfit, relax inside the Sky Tower, enjoy drinks from the tables, watching your favourite stuff on the TV screen (YouTube connected). Dancing is even possible up there.
Then take a look around Mali Bay, a mixed land fun, relax at one of the beaches, swim with sharks, underwater experience, for photographers, there is the Backgrounds platform..
Northern class 150 unit 150104 (partnered with 150138) departs Blackpool South with the 3.16pm to Colne (2N78).
With a scheduled 4 minute turnaround at this terminus, there's barely time for the driver to walk from one end of the train to the other before setting off again. On this day the turnaround was even tighter seeing as arrival from Colne was 2 minutes late.
Blackpool South, with its single platform and evidence of former glories en route, is very much the Cinderella line into this popular northern seaside town. In fact a significant part of the remaining platform has been abandoned to nature, as seen in this shot. By contrast Blackpool North is vibrant, recently electrified, and boasts fast direct services to London Euston. No surprise It also handles the vast majority of passenger arrivals and departures.
I arrived into this station on a sunny Sunday afternoon and walked the two miles or so along the bracing, enjoyable and ever vibrant promenade before waltzing back inland to North Station for the rather faster ride back to Preston.
A bit of a record shot so I'm not expecting a ten from Len. Sure I spotted Madge though.....

Virginia Beach after sunset on 5 November. A chilly breeze and clear evening skies draw two vacationers together for some warmth surrounded by the Atlantic's roar, making tomorrow's memories during the twilight of the year..

The collared pratincole, scientifically known as Glareola pratincola, is an elegant bird belonging to the family Glareolidae. This species is known for its long, narrow wings and distinctive forked tail, which gives it a graceful appearance during flight.
My first encounter with collared pratincoles was a captivating experience dating back to the early eighties in the Ebro Delta in Spain. It was a mythical species for me, and I can still recall the excitement when I could observe the graceful flight of foraging collared pratincoles above my tent on the beach of Platja Eucalyptus where they hunt insects.
These birds breed in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, usually in sandy areas with little vegetation, such as coastal plains, riverbanks, and steppes. They migrate to sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia during the winter months.
Although they are generally not a threatened species, collared pratincoles are sometimes affected by habitat loss and disturbance of breeding areas due to human activities. Fortunately, they also benefit from protected natural areas and wetlands, where they can thrive.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
Walking along the canal on a Friday afternoon in September.
Later on we went on a boat ride over the Aqueduct. Great experience with a fantastic guide on the boat. She was also a
" skipper " and lived on the canal.

Windows Wednesday.
Visited a very quite Moraine Lake ("above" Lake Louise). the parking lot at L. Louise was full again so we decided to try our luck at Moraine. No problems parking there. You should have seen it last year, people lining up at the road entrance at 5:00AM to get up to the lake. Like it a bit better this way. ;( though mixed feelings about the reasons !! see date if you remember those times.

Quiet, misty morning over Frankland River in the southern parts of Western Australia. Sun was only just beginning to break through the thick cover of fog on a mellow autumn day.
This will be my last photo for a couple of months. I am taking a break to do a bit of travelling. I hope to be back posting towards the end of November (although, knowing me, it will most likely be a little bit later).
