..but not what you might think now (laugh)
A few months ago I was already here to photograph the two castles in the background together with the road and this time I used also a modified telescopic rod with ball head for a better view of the curve. This I simply leaned on my tripod and secured it with a counterweight and waited in calm conditions for a few seconds until the swing stopped.
Then I started the exposures with a radio remote trigger.
I was very lucky with this single, first car.
A photo friend suggested me in a comment to this place to come in wintertime wen snow had fallen. I thought that was a great idea.

Eldemar a state of the art ocean going yacht built on the foil sail technology as it gets ready for its upcoming debut.
Took the shot on a bright brilliant blue oyster of a day in Kochi which the ignormaus will call a Photoshop sky.
There is still lots of work going on before the aerofoil sails go on to the yacht.
This is Murphy and we met him today whilst visiting Mottisfont Gardens. He was such a personality and we found that dogs don't mess around with Murphy. If you want to follow this 'tail' then there are six more photos in the comments below
the spider who has built the giant web across
our patio door, has given up her web design
practice, too cold and windy, but she still is
hanging around on the frame. Today I took a
few portraits of her with my phone. They were
pretty blah so I decided to solarize them.
Right now we are experiencing heavy rainfall,
Ross had to bring out the pump to keep the patio
from flooding, so the patio door was opened
many times, but she is hunkered down on
the window frame, out of harm's way.

Get outta town! A sad announcement today from a once great heritage railway now all but struggling to keep its head above water. One I spent my early high-school years volunteering for, riding the trains from the baggage car souvenir table. The open baggage doors letting in the sounds and smells of the RS11 is something I'll remember well.
Overpaid management for a nonprofit and the township at their throats with getting things up to code in a losing battle against a local government who's made it clear they want them gone. The YDHR plans to move elsewhere but being connected to Metrolinx, the odds of most of their equipment getting out of there is low. Their slough of bad luck, covid shut downs and the director's raking in 6 figures keeping them in the red, any expensive move doesn't seem so plausible in it's current state. Only time will tell what happens, but here's to the memories it gave me.
Since I'll be the guide (as always, J's driving and I say left or right) I figured it would be a good time to get to know the countries better. Bill told me a lot of cool things about Australia, some of which we could already prove to be correct, and the Rough Guides always come in handy.
Consider this an admiration of harpy's excellent series "Figuring it out"
As always, an infrequent gym post. Sorry for long time followers who expect to see content....just very busy lately and it's hard to even just catch up with friends.
You know when you're in for it when after a six hour drive arriving at Glen Brittle in Skye for a weekend on the ridge, your young nephew dons his fell shoes for an evening run two hours before before evening dusk and promptly runs up and down Sgurr Alistair (highest one you can see) via the great stone shute (the scree shute than comes out of the bottom left down from the highest one you can see) getting back two and a quarter hours later ..not out of breath and able to hold a pleasant conversation ..on something I'd spend the day over!! ,,,, I'm really too old to fall for it .. but I did!
Three male American white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) take off from a group of around 100. I noticed these on the way back from an errand but Cedar waxwings took precedence yesterday. Lake Springfield is very low after a very dry winter and so this group was feeding together as a group. They are only migrating through on their way north. They will endure another cold front and rain today with near freezing temperatures early next week.
For the curious, "a group of pelicans is called a pod. Actually, there are many other names for pelican groupings — a pouch, a scoop, a squadron or if they are fishing as a group, a fleet." This group of three seems to fit a small squadron.
"If you want to see the last Interstate unit to leave Andover, you'd better get up here!" The voice on the other end of the phone was Sonny Burchfield, an operator for the Southern at the newly combined Interstate-Southern yard at Andover. As the evening sun set behind the southwestern Virginia hills on Oct. 5, 1965, I drove up to the engine facility to find a single Alco RS-3, Interstate Railroad No. 32, burbling away all by itself. Her nine sister units were already in Atlanta, or enroute soon to be repainted in Southern's black-and-off-white livery and placed in yard and transfer service. The Tri-X Pan black-and-white film in my camera was just barely fast enough to record a few handheld shots in the fading light, but this was history, and I had to have a photo. Later that night, No. 32 left Andover in tow for Atlanta, where it joined its nine sister units for continued service in Georgia and the Carolinas.
Over a half century ago in an era of large farm families, it was not uncommon for there to be more kids than available beds. The words "get over" were often heard in the dark, especially on hot and humid summer nights.
Henri Philippe de Montsoreau was forced to try on the modified suit that his sister has made for Fete de l'Hiver. He'll probably need his cognac afterwards...
Making a portrait from time to time, makes me feel happy.
Especially when it comes unexpected: This lady was sitting in her window, looking for fresh air, which she couldn't find in her dark and far from airy city apartment.

The new Get Smart movie is now being shown in theaters. This, of course, was based on the original TV series, Get Smart which aired from 1965 to 1970. One of my favorite all time sitcoms, it starred Don Adams as Maxwell Smart. Long before the modern day cell phone was invented, Smart used an analog rotary dial wireless telephone which he had neatly hidden in the soul of his shoe. I like to think of Maxwell Smart as the world's first person to use a cell phone, some 30 years before anyone else.
Don Adams (1923-2005) was an actor and stand-up comedian. His album, Don Adams, Live? was recorded live at the Sands in Las Vegas in 1967.
