...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.

 

-- Robert Burns

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

The Chatteris War Memorial and the Parish Church of St Peter & St Paul, with a cascading poppy display, all ready for Remembrance Day.

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!

Thanks for your time and recognition. Appreciate all kind of feedback.

... For The Love of Bread

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.

This is the "Show Room" of the Belle Isle Conservatory. Seasonal plantings are highlighted in this room, like a fantastic display of poinsettia for Christmas for instance.

 

This is the last in the series of pics from the Belle Isle Conservatory.

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!

"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.

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~^^;

Winter was a dark time, both literally and figuratively.

 

But in the darkest of times there is beauty, even if you can't see it at the time.

 

I had to wade in to the lake up to my navel wearing jeans and runners. My camera was about 10 inches off the water and I had to wait until the ripples I'd caused faded before I could take the shot.

 

I think it's funny how I spent 2 years in the Canadian Rockies praying for mist and getting none. Then like buses, all the mist I'd ever wanted sauntered into my shot in a matter of minutes.

 

Strange life eh?

 

Thanks for looking

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.
