Thanks every one for viewing and making such encouraging comments
An overcast sky casts a dull light over its surroundings, but the Cloud Gate sculpture glows no matter what.
One of my last photos of the evening last night in the old industrial parts of Dublin. I was keen to photograph the old streets around the Guinness Brewery at St James' Gate and finally found this classic street. Had to wait until very late before it became dark enough but certainly worth it!

ET42-006, as a looser on the Węgliniec-Jaworzyna Śląska route, passes the former aggregate reloading facility in Rębiszów. Built by the Germans in 1925, it was used to load wagons with basalt from a nearby quarry. The raw material was delivered by cable car, and gravity unloading took place from platforms visible at the top of the structure. This facility likely ended around the turn of the century.

ET42-006 jako luzak w relacji Węgliniec - Jaworzyna Śląska mija dawną przeładownię kruszywa w Rębiszowie. Zbudowana przez Niemców w 1925 roku służyła do załadunku wagonów bazaltem z pobliskiego kamieniołomu. Surowiec dostarczano kolejką linową, a grawitacyjny rozładunek odbywał się z pomostów widocznych w górnej części konstrukcji. To miejsce zakończyło prawdopodobnie na przełomie wieków.
This shot was taken at Presidio,CA right below the Golden Gate Bridge about an 1/8 of a second before getting sprayed then soaked up to the ankle in water. Having a rain-jacket draped over the camera helped... a bit. It's shortly after dawn, but the light never really hit the bridge.
This shot was inspired by Patrick Smith... If you like this image at all, go check out his stuff its really amazing and he is extremely helpful in his posts!
On that note, if you do go down to this spot when the surf is 10-20ft at high tide consider bringing the following items I neglected to bring: Shorts, water shoes, towel.
No HDR this time.

Entrance to the beautiful Val Morteratsch through this captivating gate, uploaded on a day when I really long to see the sun and basking in sun-filled memories seems the only option to do so.
Leading to the little church of St Michael of All Angels. The church is for the villagers of Angersleigh, a tiny hamlet at the bottom of the Blackdown Hills. It dates from the 11th century and seats only 60 people.

A bus line runs from Petaluma (where I had just done a show at the This Week In Tech studios) back to San Francisco. As it neared the Golden Gate Bridge, I realized that sunset was only a half an hour away.
So I got off WAY before my destination and double-timed it down to Marshall's Beach. It's on the west side of the bridge, at the end of what can only be termed "an assload" of stairs. No, let's call it "a series of assload-sized runs of stairs."
I made it to the shore in time to scope out a couple of spots and quickly decided on this one. It wasn't just luck that I had the Good Camera with me, but I could just as easily left the tripod at my lodgings, and all of this happened on a clear day. All in all, I felt the reassuring hand of Divine Providence on my shoulder and under the circumstances, I'd feel like a colossal dope if I hemmed and hawed and dithered, and missed the sunset.
Anyways. I wanted to get the orange light _of_ the sunset on my subject. This meant that I had to forego photos of the sunset itself, even though it was bloody spectacular. I kept sneaking looks behind me and I got a few photos with my phone before the battery went phhhht.
Speaking of "phhhht," this was one of the last shots I took before the sun slipped below the horizon. Sunsets are tricky. You'll get gorgeous light but it only lasts for a few moments.
As with the Brooklyn Bridge shot I got a few months ago, I think I'll be tweaking this image a lot over the next few weeks and experiment with a bunch of different looks. I'm pretty happy with it. I did a good enough job while at the beach that I've nothing but options now that it's on my Mac. The exposure is right, the focus is right, the composition is what I wanted…I don't see any technical errors that I need to correct or obscure.
Which isn't to say there isn't room for improvement. I felt an urgent need to commit to a composition and then get the camera and the tripod locked down and set properly. If I'd made a special trip to get this photo, I'd have tried to show up an hour earlier. It'll be nice to come back to Marshall Beach. I'll spend the whole afternoon just hiking and being a tourist. And then at 15 minutes before sunset, I'll return to what I decided was going to be the very best spot for photos.
Experience is the best ally I have. I'd visited the Golden Gate twice -- three times? -- before I was even aware that it was possible to cross under the 101 freeway and see it from the sunset side. And then to find that there was a trail that wound its way all the way to the ocean.
I died twice during the climb back up to street level (thank heavens I was able to jury-rig a defibrillator out of my Anker 21,000 mAh phone charger and a microUSB cable). A small price to pay for such a fine little creative adventure. This shot represents why I enjoy photography. Whether the photos are any good or not, the burst of physical, mental, and creative effort is a lot of fun.
Chromatic Gate (1991; 633 East Cabrillo Blvd.) – Famed artist Herbert Bayer, who spent the last 10 years of his life in Santa Barbara, designed this 21-foot tall multi-colored arch located across from the beach. The piece received a much-needed face-lift in 2013 and is a striking frame to either the mountain or ocean view.

The fabulous, design of the gorgeous, ornate, fence/gate on Parliament Hill, downtown Ottawa, Canada. They don't make them like this anymore. Love, love, love the detail.
The Istana Negara is the official residence of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the monarch of Malaysia. It is located along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim in Segambut, northwestern Kuala Lumpur. The palace opened in 2011 and replaced the old Istana Negara which was located at a different compound in central Kuala
I had a superb night out up Mam Tor this evening under a beautifully bright moon. Zero wind which was a bonus and clear skies above.
I've watched hours of astro tutorials on YouTube but when I'm in the field all of the things I have learnt seem to have fallen out of my head. More so when I get home to process the images, blending exposures, focus stacking and noise reduction never seem to run smoothly.
Don't get me wrong I'm quite happy with this shot but I can't help thinking it could be better with a bit more pp practice. Plenty of time over winter to up my game.
Cheers to Chris for his awesome company and I hope you got the shot of the road to Edale you were after. Happy days.
