...wanderin' the Highlands, a bit o' Scotland found wanderin' my own wee bit o' land to guide you safely on your travels. Be wary o' the thorns o' the thistle, Lass...;-))

Ev'n then a wish (I mind it's pow'r),
A wish, that to my latest hour
Shall strongly heave my breast -
That I for poor auld Scotland's sake
Some usefu' plan or beuk could make,
Or sing a sang at least.
The rough burr-thistle, spreading wide
Amang the bearded bear,
I turn'd the weeding-heuk aside,
An' spar'd the symbol dear:
No nation, no station
My envy e'er could raise,
A Scot still, but blot still,
I knew nae higher praise.

CN 8801 and CN 2533 bring the H-GALMEM1-13A through TRRA’s “Hi-Speed Line” while the St. Louis cityscape opposes over the variety of power. For the first half of GALMEMs journey it was the CN duo but later on they picked up the Gevo and CP ACU at Falk on the K-Line

We were away for a long weekend as it was a bank holiday. So I had brain fade today and thought it was Monday and took a photo for Macro Mondays theme of sparkle...one of my favourite subjects so I was sorry to have missed it. Having taken the photo I thought I may as well still post it. Oh well, Happy Macro Tuesday to you all! ;)

The weather since I've been down at the shore has not been great.
It's been overcast and cool every morning.
Hasn't made me want to leap out of bed and go for an early morning walk along the beach.......I feel like I'm in a holding pattern, just waiting for the clouds to lift so I can head out with the camera.
We've been getting these small windows of sunshine, here and there though, most afternoons.
Yesterday the sun came out late day, and I took a drive back out to 2 Mile Landing where I'd seen some interesting possibilities the day before.
The lighting was beautiful when I got there, and I spent a very nice 45 minutes snapping away at several different species of birds poking around out in the marsh.
These pretty barn swallows were busy swooping across the mudflats eating flying insects.
I manage to catch this one as it briefly landed on a nearby fence, before taking off again.
Not 5 minutes after I took this shot I felt a noticeable drop in temperture, and when I turned around toward the ocean, there was a very dark fog rolling towards me. Looked like a scene out of that horror flick, "The Mist".
I quickly got in my car and headed for home.
By the time I got there, the fog was so dense you couldn't see to the end of the street.
The weather can change SO quickly on the coast!

Checking out the Colderan Beta from the Andoran project for Skyrim
When I first looked through my bridge shots from San Francisco I decided that I was going to trash them all. It was pouring rain that night and my camera was so wet I didn't think it was going to work anymore. Even though the conditions weren't perfect it was really a fun memory with friends. Sometimes my daughter wisely reminds me that there are times in life it's not about the perfect shot but "it's for the memory Dad." I will, however, be going back here soon to try to get a perfect shot.
In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves were home
In an age when prize possession was fire
To search for landscapes men would roam...

For a short time, Amtrak’s California Zephyr saw 161 on rotation. This was Amtrak’s Phase I heritage unit and replaced the previous Phase I, 156, after it hit a truck and got severely damaged. Just like 156, 161 also has been retired as a few weeks ago it caught fire in Washington D.C. and was burnt to a crisp.

for the first time this year i was go by bike and took a look at the nearby locations like this lake, alot of people i meet here, all enjoy the clean nature around here, i like this too because thats one of the rare lakes without privat areas directly on it and no motorboats are allowed here so the water and nature quality holds on here

The bears come down to the shore on the edge of Cook's Inlet to find dead fish washed up on the shore to eat. They are followed around by seagulls trying to snatch bits of fish for their own meal. These are fairly large birds when you compare their size to the big bear in the image.
For anyone who has been missing the drone photos ...
Don't worry ... I got your back. ;-)
Lots more to come, I shot a bunch of images over the past 3 weeks that I'm only now processing.
And West Michigan is still mostly green so I will be shooting more going forward!
These are all shot with a Phantom 4 Pro UAV in the vicinity of Mancelona or Gaylord.

Hey everyone, here’s a vignette that’s been sitting on my desk for months and I finally found the motivation to finish it. It’s nothing too interesting but I had fun making the figures.
Sagres, Praia de Tonel, Elmarit 28mm.
Praia do Tonel is popular with surfers as it offers a brisk-westerly wind that often produces large Atlantic breakers. Also nice for sunbathing etc. because of the sheltered spots back towards the cliffs.
Thanks for all your visits, comments and invites on my previous photos and for all the support and friendship in the past "Flickr year", much appreciated!
I made it out today for the first time for a little while which was great. Unfortunately what wasn’t great was I left it a little late in the day to start shooting. I was literally in a race against Mother Nature as the light faded. I had originally planned another shot in my head only to find out when I got there that the sun was in the wrong place for the shot I wanted. Luckily I came across this shot and the light was just perfect. In saying that In Scotland during autumn honestly the light can change very fast and by the time I had taken my third attempt trying to catch the leave and the light just right the sun had nearly disappeared. Unfortunately with the disabilities I have it can often affect my energy levels so I feel I miss the best light to shoot at, but I have to be grateful for the luxury of being able to get out once in a while I guess.
"The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness."
--Chris Evans
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Daybreak over the Swansea Valley - my banker shot for my Photo a Day. Caption is the title of a song from the Beatles.
Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel et Kate Bush
in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong
rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up
'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing
moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs
don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
I displayed miniatures with Licca and took some photos of them for a change... It's so fun! ^_^
Finally I decided the color of the sewing boxes and finished painting them. But the work to sand their surface is still left... that's a little troublesome. sigh~^^;
Parallel lines in the Cotswolds Lavender fields reaching over the horizon.
Grass is grown between the lavender to reduce soil erosion, but it also makes a brilliant contrast of colours!
The lavender has now been cropped and the fields will not be open again until next June.

Heaven For Everyone - the genial song performed by Freddie Mercury (Queen) is exactly the perfect title for the region where I live.
Here the road can be seen where I walked some days ago through my beloved Mühlviertel in the Northern part of Upper Austria ...
Don´t forget to listen to the song :-))
A location I've wanted to visit for some time is 'Sculpture by the Lakes' near Dorchester in Dorset. It's a sculpture park featuring many wonderful works by renowned sculptor Simon Gudgeon. The art is thoughtfully placed in the beautifully landscaped grounds, and it's well worth a visit, both for photographers and art lovers alike.

"If I tickle you for five minutes, will you tickle me for five minutes OK"?
Scientific name: Trichoglossus moluccanus
The cataclysmic 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines was the second largest volcanic eruption of the twentieth century, and by far the largest eruption to affect a densely populated area. It occurred on June 15, 1991. I was part of the evacuation and relief effort. It was the last action of any significance I would perform in the US Navy.
The eruption produced high-speed avalanches of hot ash and gas, giant mudflows, and a cloud of volcanic ash hundreds of miles across that ushered in climate change across the globe. The resulting damage to US assets in the Philippines was pivotal in the decision to close the massive strategic US military bases there. Many US servicemen lost friends and family in the ordeal never to be heard from again. The impacts of the eruption continue to this day.
Here are three empty Jelly or Jam jars, except for the one I filled with Jelly Beans.
The jars are strangely crooked, to my eye. When I examined them, after the photoshoot, I discovered that they really ARE crooked... although the Jelly bean jam jar is ok; I just put the lid on crooked!
Anyway, that's J!
Things around here are getting more busy. I haven't taken a K photo yet. We'll see.
