Newport, Rhode Island's iconic landmark as seen from Bishop's Rock on the grounds of Naval Station Newport.
Breeding Grounds.
Cose alla moda sentieri insanguinati frecce in agguato guai scomodi mattoni prosperi sapori rimbombanti calamità conti spade riparate,
habitants étranges directions calembour mauvaises pensées batailles envoûtantes tempêtes vers jours d'ignorance vindicte zèle ambition langue,
ansambluri moderne ecouri ciudate terori revolte scrieri arzătoare nopți bântuitoare cataclism iminent mesaje ascunse misiune subtilă,
чудовищная вонь, печально известные истории, события, твердость, проходка тоннелей, превратилась в науку, большие образования, грубые, осыпающиеся трещины.,
underjordiske overvejelser knuste monstrøse gruber konfronterende kløft underlige lys gibbous tinder hørbare undrende rystede beskrivelser,
耳を痛める不吉な噂ひどいスクランブリング知覚可能な悪魔暗闇の汚れ不幸な埋葬恐ろしいファゾムがちらつく赤いはしご捜査官は疑わしい犬を失った想像を絶する遠吠えの提案.

Visit to the Open House on October 18, 2015 at the historic Packard Proving Grounds in Shelby Township, Michigan. Packard's proving grounds were on Van Dyke Road about 22 miles north of the center of downtown Detroit. The open house featured many Packards on display, as well as a cruise-in for any interested classic car owner.

Lapwings grow a new set of feathers in the autumn and the upperpart feathers have a narrow buffy tip that wears off by spring leaving the glossy breeding plumage. Nearly all of my Lapwing photographs were taken on the breeding grounds in the hills so I think this is the first adult in its buffy-scaled winter plumage that I have uploaded. Also in winter they tend to live in skittish flocks so they are not as easy to photograph close. Young Lapwings also have more extensive buffy edges but the glossy colours and long crest show this to be an adult. Here's a young bird for comparison with a short crest: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/36052348383/in/photolist Adult male Lapwings have black all over the front of the face that join up with the breast band so this white faced bird is a female. Here's an adult male: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/36953431185/in/photolist I photographed this winter-plumaged female at Martin Mere in lowland Lancashire where they are common in winter. They usually vacate the hills in winter but their noisy return in March (sometimes earlier) is one of the first signs of spring.
The grounds of Kilkenny Castle cover almost 21 hectares and runs along the river Nore. The River Nore is one of the rivers known as the three sisters, the other two being the River Barrow and the River Suir.
Situated on the grounds of Culloden Battlefield lies Leanach cottage. This beautiful thatched cottage is one of the last survivors of a once common local structure type of a single storey thatched building. Today the building stands as an isolated structure but in the past this area was well populated and the land divided into smallholdings. Historical maps show a number of farmsteads in the close vicinity with small pockets of individually cultivated land, however, Leanach is now one of the only surviving examples of this landscape.
I'm sorry, but I've been so busy lately that my reflective self has been pushed out of the way by the more hungry, generally more demanding practical self. Don't get me wrong, busy is good, (epically when its photography orientated, which this is), but it does take me away from the pleasure of sitting down and browsing my holiday achieves, re-immersing myself in the multitude of experiences I had on location.
Now whilst musing this pleasurable activity, my attention wandered and I gradually became more and more uneasy with the common mantra expounded by photographers when reflecting on such matters. I donât like to spend time on the computer! On the surface this statement seems rather reasonable. It seems to simply highlight, that it's more pleasurable to be in a frosty field at dawn, than bashing your head against a computer on a wet Friday afternoon, trying to unsuccessfully make the thing do as you tell it. But, ironically this statement has a bitter twist of a rejecting computer based technology without recognising what it has to offer. But not that computer based technology that works in a field at dawn! Itâs ok to hate those dam complicated things that always go wrong , but what about those ones that you place on top of a tripod? No, there are entire magazines and web forums dedicated to that type of computer. Alas with the twist of lemon, there is also a dash of lime in the mix: the pride (insecurity) at getting it right in camera seems a defence mechanism to a deeper issue, but that contentious topic would get me going for hours! So I'll leave it for now.
Anyway moving this along... For me anyway, this time meandering my archives, not only sparks those memories and experiences that I had when on location, but it also helps me reflect on what I was trying to achieve and evaluate its effectiveness. This time using the big C word, is very helpful as a post shoot reflective analysis, I'd personally argue an absolutely necessity to view your efforts after having made them, to improve the personal reflections and evaluations, an essential element to learning!
Donât get me wrong, I understand why so many landscape photographers announce this mantra in articles and personal statements, I do understand why they prefer being out in the landscape where they can experience the elements first hand, in preference to being cooped up inside slaving over a hot VDU, but to disregard such a large part of the learning process I feel is a little naive.
Anyway, I must get off this computer, before it becomes grounds for divorce...
The magnificent Banff Springs Hotel rises among snow covered spruces and firs under the light of a full moon before dawn on a cold winter morning, Banff, Alberta, Canada.
My wife and I were lucky enough to visit Banff this Christmas on our way to a family get together further west. We'd been in this area before during warmer seasons, and I've yet to see a more beautiful landscape than the Canadian Rockies, and likewise I'm not sure I've ever seen a more beautiful hotel than this most classic construction of the railroad age in North America. Winter proved especially stunning here with light snow clinging to the boughs and branches of seemingly every tree.
I thought this iconic scene might be particularly pleasing in the moonlight, with the hotel's warm lights welcoming the eye among the cold, darker forest that surrounds, but when I got to the overlook, I was concerned that the large steam plume from the hotel's physical plant would ruin the shot, especially as the steam was catching a lot of light from the large lamps illumilating the hotel and grounds.
Somewhat to my surprise, the plume turned out to be sort of interesting, especially since the shifting wind pushed the steam plume to and fro throughout this long exposure, leaving an interesting, almost blossoming effect once the shutter closed.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Holiday season! Thanks for visiting.
Chamando dende lonxe a medianoite para non escoitar a ninguén. Correndo dende a porta ata a auga, dende o cumio ata o fondo do val. Non hai momento de descanso cando non hai tempo que malgastar.
E todo acaba caíndo co tempo, todo acaba sendo igual. Se no principio non houbera regras agora tampouco iría tan mal.
E se nesta noite sen amencer non quedan bicos por dar, non hai tampouco palabras nos oidos nin chamadas que escoitar.
Thank you all for your comments and faves!

Sunday walk on University of Alberta grounds, Edmonton, AB. Fall is here...
Civil War era cannon on the parade grounds at Fort Union National Monument, New Mexico.
In operation in the 1860's and 1870's, Fort Union served as the principal supply base for the Military Department of New Mexico.
An alternative Hunting Grounds armor for female CNHF edition. Not finalized yet, might alter some aspects of it.
A visit to the Henry Moore Foundation in a place called Much Hadham. A nice day out into the countryside. Abstract art doesn't normally do it for me... I just don't get it.
But I gave it a go.
Beautiful grounds punctuated by giant sculptures... worth a visit.
