It took a lot longer than expected to get to my hotel close to Zilina, Slovakia. The road was narrow, full of curves and rather busy. I did enjoy, though, and I enjoyed the warm dish and the spacious room at the hotel even more. The next day, I had planned a day on the non-electrified railway lines around Horna Stubna, hoping to see some of the 754-series locomotives in action. And who knows, maybe even a "Bardotka" with a freight train.
Not knowing what to expect, I just went to the station of Klastor Pod Znievom where I was lucky enough to catch 754 020 hauling a train to Horna Stubna. A very good start of the day!

The wildlife in the Antarctica Peninsula is ever present and Whales seemed to accompany us wherever we sailed throughout our journey.
This was a shot I took on our first day as we approached the Melchior Islands. It isn't the best whale shot I took, but it was the first. We had some pretty close encounters later in the trip when our zodiac was surrounded by 4 feeding pods of Humpback Whales. To see them close up and hear them was an experience that will last a lifetime.
So here is a shot of a Humpback's fluke as it dived to feed on the abundant krill amongst the icy waters around the Melchior Islands.
First time attempting to grow some of my own veggies. I'm delighted when I saw this beauty emerge. How does a tomato even grow, let alone turn from green to yellow? Seems rather miraculous to me. Can't wait to taste it with the purple basil and other herbs!
I am out with my camera in my pj's and heavy coat grateful for this beautiful morning.

Una nueva vista del amanecer en Moraira desde la Cala de las Platgetes mirando hacia el Este. El Cap d'Or retarda la salida del sol en la localidad, pero compensa esa dilación ofreciendo un precioso espectáculo de luz y color en cada amanecer cuando asoma por detrás del cabo.
En primer plano, puede verse la escultura de hierro del escultor javeanense Toni Marí Sart, "hombre mirando al mar", perenne vigía de hierro, oteando sin descanso el horizonte desde su cofa de piedra. En esta toma, traté de encuadrarlo buscando una composición en la que la escultura pareciese contemplar la vieja torre vigía del Cap d'Or.

Another view of Dawn in Moraira (Costa Blanca, Alicante, Spain) from the Platgetes cove, facing East. The "Cap d'Or" ("cape of gold") slows sunrise in the town, but compensates for that delay with a beautiful show of light and color in every dawn when the sun peeks out behind it.
On the foreground we can see the iron sculpture “Man looking at sea” a perennial iron lookout man, scanning the horizon restlessly from his crow’s nest of stone.I tried to frame it searching for a composition to create the impression that that iron man were contemplating the old Cape d'Or watching tower from the shore.

The first signs of a bit light from Bamburgh the other day, was very cloudy but managed to brighten up a little to get this shot
The first snowfall has come! and with it the waterfalls of Nova Scotia come rushing back into full life.
What a beautiful time of year!

One of the triplets posing for his/her first portrait.
This little fawn is one of a set of triplets. I also saw that we have for sure one set of twins and possibly a second set of twins although the second set would not come out of the woods.
I took this photo through our glass back door.
Tecumseh, Nebraska
Another picture in my series of rural Nebraska churches photographed at night. This is the last of the buildings I took pictures of in Tecumseh. I decided that since I had made the long drive to Tecumseh in the middle of the night, I was going to make it worthwhile by visiting all of the churches in town. I liked the lit up stained glass windows at this church.
This is an HDR bracketed exposure of 4 photos of the building and the surrounding area. The HDR composite was put together in Lightroom. The sky is a composite of 8 photos taken at 20 seconds, ISO 1600, for noise reduction. The sky photos were taken on my way home about 20 miles outside of town get away from the light pollution of any nearby towns.
The sky photos were composited in Photoshop and the overall picture was composited in Photoshop.
