“If we expect to “know” the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, we may have a hard time seeing the whole picture, since the truth is a willful construction that allows us often merely to “guess”.
Quote ― Erik Pevernagie
I think that is almost impossible that you don't know to where I went after Trieste.
If so, the clues are in the other side of this place. You only have to look under the bridge.
* Given that Spurn Point is relatively close to Hull I guess it's surprising I do not go there often. It is the oddest and wildest part of East Yorkshire with huge skies. However I find it too desolate to really enjoy, though some of my friends who are serious birders love it . This shot was taken on the narrowest parts of the spit. On the left hand side is the North Sea and on the right the waters of the Humber estuary . The little wooden cabin is a shelter in case a high tide cuts you off from the mainland which is not uncommon. You can see the lighthouse which is about four miles further along the spit.
Its a hard place to describe so I will borrow some text from the Yorkshire wildlife trust .
From the Yorkshire wildlife trust website
Spurn Point (or Spurn Head as it is also known) is a narrow sand spit on the tip of the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber estuary. It is over 3 miles long, almost half the width of the estuary at that point, and as little as 50 yards wide in places. The southernmost tip is known as Spurn Head or Spurn Point and is the home to an RNLI lifeboat station and disused lighthouse. It forms part of the civil parish of Easington.
Spurn Head covers 280 acres above high water and 450 acres of foreshore. It has been owned since 1960 by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and is a designated National Nature Reserve, Heritage Coast and is part of the Humber Flats, Marshes and Coast Special Protection Area.
The peninsula is made up from sand and shingle as well as Boulder Clay eroded from the Holderness coastline washed down the coastline from Flamborough Head. Material is washed down the coast by longshore drift and accumulates to form the long, narrow embankment in the sheltered waters inside the mouth of the Humber estuary. It is maintained by plants, especially Marram grass . Waves carry material along the peninsula to the tip, continually extending it; as this action stretches the peninsula it also narrows it to the extent that the sea can cut across it in severe weather. When the sea cuts across it permanently, everything beyond the breach is swept away, only to eventually reform as a new spit pointing further south. This cycle of destruction and reconstruction occurs approximately every 250 years. The now crumbling defences will not be replaced and the spit will continue to move westwards at a rate of 2 metres per year, keeping pace with the coastal erosion further north.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
… is a real...original color? and has a little rash on the skin too?
This is a persimmon! It's looking great and we can have it.
I got it from my sister backyard.
If a man writes a book, let him set down only what he knows. I have guesses enough of my own.

i was very surprised and pleased with the outcome of this shot..
i was playing around with my mini camera..
no fixing..no photoshop..i did crop it a little..
what is it? or is it pretty obvious..?
Endlessly gliding around looking for prey., guessing and photographing the precise moment a bird of prey rolls into a dive is as much luck as it is judgement
This one obliged whilst I was following him through the lens., but I don't mind admitting I missed a lot of potentially good shots by not paying attention at the vital moment
Taken on a rather cold winter’s day. Today is sunny and frosty in South Wales, no snow in the forecast.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend
A grab shot as this Buzzard was mobbed by Crows about 50ft above my head...the hapless raptor was then mobbed by a flock of angry Lapwings...great to see...Musselburgh Lagoons
I guess castles always have a touch of Romance about them certainly Dunstanburgh Castle on the edge of the North Sea seems particularly magical. Taken a very warm July day back in 2013
Dunstanburgh Castle is a 14th-century fortification on the coast of Northumberland in northern England, located between the villages of Craster and Embleton. The castle was built by Earl Thomas of Lancaster between 1313 and 1322, taking advantage of the site's natural defences and the existing earthworks of a former Iron Age fort. Thomas was a leader of a baronial faction opposed to King Edward II, and probably intended Dunstanburgh to act as a secure refuge, should the political situation in southern England deteriorate. The castle also served as a statement of the earl's wealth and influence, and would have invited comparisons with the neighbouring royal castle of Bamburgh. Thomas probably only visited his new castle once, before being captured at Battle of Boroughbridge as he attempted to flee royal forces for the safety of Dunstanburgh. Thomas was executed, and the castle became the property of the Crown, before passing into the Duchy of Lancaster.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

Thank you SO much!!!
So yah I guess this might be part of a series I've been planning on doing but I'm not really sure. The series I'm doing is part of some annoying thing for school where we like make work based upon a thesis, but I have such terrible senioritis that it's hard to take anything seriously anymore, I've moved on to the cooper union crowd haha. But yah I was going to do like images that depict the search for something dead, like as in a physically dead creature. The whole purpose for me is to question death and if anything can truly die/ if we can revisit the dead and the ramifications of that. To be completely honest idek if I like this, and I wasn't planning on uploading it but whatever. I'm finally going to get a proper lens tomorrow and not have to be all ghetto off branding it and stuff.
Hey, guess who finally did some photography travelling after all this time? And hey, guess who managed to make it an absolute disaster like most times? Yes, me. Ugh. Let's just say - being dumped, coming off medication AND traveling whilst generally anxious doesn't make for a great time.

My eyes are very good in the dark. Fact. Probably because I essentially live in a cocoon, in a dark bedroom all day. Anyway, my good vision means that I often notice things that Michael misses. In this case, it was this sweet little gate below. Possibly a bit of a security issue back when invading armies could come along.
This is the only decent shot that I took that also included the ruin itself. Unfortunately it wasn't a particularly big ruin and a nice view I did find was far too dark. That's what happens when you totally rely on 'natural' light!

This one's purely for fun.
A challenge for you all, based on what little you know of me.
Mr P. your at a slight advantage, as you've met me, all be it a long time later lol!
The challenge is "which one is me?"
It's an image taken in my first year at school, note the B&W, a slight give away to my age.
I'm giving no clues, I await your humorous replies :)
No charge for guessing!
The classic car season has started and the first event is the Retro Classics at Stuttgart. It's an indoor event which attracts visitors from all over Germany as well as France, Switzerland and Austria. As usual it was very difficult to take photos there due to the crowds, the low light and all the unwanted reflections but I tried and will post some more car photos in the next days. The car in this photo is a Packard Eight of 1935, produced by the Packard Motor Car Company in Detroit.
We all have a love affair with this landmark in the Bay Area - What's so fascinating about shooting it is that it never looks the same. The light changes, the fog rolls in, the fog rolls over, under. At times, you cannot even see the darn thing even if you're standing right on it. So - here it is, in all it's glory, totally visible, no fog, morning light - irresistible.
