Big old tree of Japanese Clethra looks gnarled & fantastic.
Botanical name: Clethra Anatolia; English name: Japanese Clethra. This tree grows slowly at this barren land.
リョウブは成長すると樹皮が剝げ落ちて, 木肌がツルツルになります。地上根は逞しい反面, 地下根は浅く短く, 幹は傾きがちです。特に土壌層が薄くて直ぐ溶岩層となる天城では, こんな格好に成ります。リョウブは成長速度が遅いので, この古木の樹齢は全く見当が付きません。
I could really brighten everything up a little sitting here at my computer but that really would not remain true to how this is. Constant wind and a powerful raging tide and an atmosphere of light that I have always wanted to capture against the red and white pillar of the warning light....I did remove the sea spray spots though!...Portland Bill, England.
I have no idea what this place we stumbled across is called. But we came upon it on a day trip from Hobart to Mt Field National Park ... from memory it was to the N/NE of MFNP. I felt like we stumbled into the set of Fortitude.
Not a particularly inspiring scene but, hey I don't get many opportunities to post images that contain snow!!
You will never come back up. Overells Lane, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. Not a place to enter in broad daylight, let alone in the dark hours.

It maybe not so "beautiful" flower indeed, but before the blight, they still live.

Lucky me!
My friend was selling her semi-real Fortitude, so I jumped at the chance of getting her.
I met this doll last year at a mini Smart Doll meet at Newstead Abbey so I already knew what this particular doll felt like in hand.
Please meet Elinor my semi-real Fortitude in the colour tea
We came across this hand painted Oroton Ad in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. It has not been credited to anyone but joins a number of hand painted (as far as I know) advertising murals in a couple of locations in the Valley. It was an allegedly cooler day in Brisbane yesterday at 26-27C while some of our southern friends sweltered but the humidity was high and we were quite sweated out by the end of our walk into town.
And yes, with trees blocking part of the ad from a front on perspective, one has to take another viewpoint or should I say, PoV. That's boring anyway!
I saw the full design team I work with in the week and was amazing to see everyone face to face rather than virtually for the first time in nearly 17 months!
I’ve been in to the office once before last month but for a small client meeting, still working from home at the moment though which is working out great.
Lots of colour work here on many different apps!
HSS!
Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia. Sixes and Sevens tavern. Saturday morning. It is winter and I am getting sunburnt on the back of my neck standing in the median drawing this sketch - and I realise that I am so bad with keeping track of the date that it is actually Saturday 22 08 15 - don't ask me why I thought it was 28 08 15? I must have been some place else.

Thanks to Andrew in Melbourne for clarifying that this is more likely to be by Rone.

I have been racking my brains for a few days to get around a brain freeze (not from ice BTW)...I believe that's a white Crepe Myrtle flowering there.

Here's a tip for anyone planning a trip to Skye - don't visit the Fairy Pools in August, the swarms of midges were literally unbearable, regardless of our attempts at protection against them. Despite this we were determined to take a few photos and, having driven for over 8 hours to get to the island we had the fortitude to persist in our landscape endeavours.
I've been sitting on this one for a while, deliberating about the conditions, however I think the peaks shrouded in mist behind do add a little mystery to the image. Didn't see any fairies though, unless they were disguised as midges!
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.
Under dark skies, a westbound manifest coasts down the 1.42% grade from Chalender, Arizona and up the rise on the other side of the sag at MP 372, Seligman Subdivision.
When I was planning my return trip to the east end of BNSF's Seligman Subdivision, one angle more than any others that I had missed on my previous trip stood at the top of my 'must shoot' list; the sag near Bootlegger's Crossing.
My target was the classic angle of a westbound train descending the roller coaster profile between Chalender and Williams Junction, AZ. The prior year, some poor map interpretation on my part led me down a series of snowy access roads between Maine and Chalender without finding 'the spot', and little else to show for the adventure. This year, I earmarked an entire afternoon for the task. Based on the 'lineup' I had inferred that morning from the Winslow railcam, I would have five westbounds in fairly short succession. More than enough to lock down the shot, right?
In the two and a half hours that I was at this location, I experienced full sunshine with cumulous clouds above, dark rainclouds eclipsing the sun and everything else, a snow squall with low clouds, and then every maddening combination of the above. The wind was blowing steadily from the west, churning up the clouds, and cycling them above like a meteorologists forecast on fast forward.
Of course every single train arrived during a moment where clouds were at a minimum covering the tracks. The best I could do was the above, where the sun started to burn through the edge of a cloud, as the the train passed. At the end of my session a wet mix of rain and snow began to fall, making my impending trek through the clumpy red clay even more arduous. Dissatisfied with the results that I could see on my camera's LCD screen, I made plans to return the next day. Surely I couldn't get weather effed twice, right?
