I've walked this path many times, but normally in the opposite direction, and so I'd never appreciated the nice swoop the guided busway makes here.
I had to recrop this one after the fact because I was rushed to get this one shot: I'd sped up to get ahead of a pedestrian so I could take this shot, and I only had this instance before he would overtake me again getting in the frame. Thank goodness for enough pixels to let me re-compose after.
Macro Mondays theme: Father
This is a section of the leatherette cover of one of the four volumes of Audel's Carpenters and Builders Guide that my father gave me before he died. It is packed with useful information that he used for many things, including designing and building the two story extension to my family home. Each time I look at these books on my shelf I think of my father who was born 100 years ago. Sadly he died at the age of 91. I don't use it for anything practical (the internet is much easier) but it is a treasured memorial to the old man.
This is a quote from the frontispiece:
When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! This our father did for us!"
~John Ruskin

This delightful young lady was our guide when we were spending one day in Croatia ,on a Danube cruise. We moored at Vukovar & were driven to the beautiful old town of Osijek . We were amusingly entertained by a comical fisherman & then had a lunch with a local family. Our guide kept us well informed in a most pleasant manner , throughout..
Journey again in another view. The old guide alway walked ahead. When the we left behind far away. He stopped and looked at us in silence. He was wordless and never laugh not like any other guide I have ever met. Maybe he wasn't a guide but a local peasant paid to show us the way.
However, he was cool not only in character but also in pose.

This lovely little lighthouse is a short drive up the coast at Blyth. I usually see it as I drive further afield as heading further afield is something I enjoy. I often stop here on the way back from somewhere and either the light isn't great or I've had my fill of shooting for the day. Anyhow I've finally got round to it...
my second time at this wonderful manor with the five Alive crew something quite colonial about this place!
Cape Foulwind Lighthouse.
Looking back to this night, I wish I got some shots with my 24mm ƒ1.4 lens, I was too excited to have the 14mm ƒ2.8 lens and with limited time, had to leave before I wanted to. We will be back, Mr Foulwind.

Kalbarri National Park is home to many awe inspiring vistas. The seasoned traveler would be able to name a handful of the iconic landmarks in the area.
For me, however, Pot Alley is the location around Kalbarri that provides the best photographic opportunities.
The winding alleys flanked by sand stone rock formations, jagged red cliffs and native flora gives the sense of being much further away from the civilization than you really are. In reality, however, Pot Alley is located 10 mins away from the town of Kalbarri and is one of the most accessible sight seeing locations in the National Park.
This is a 77 frame panorama captured with a Nikon Z6 and 35mm 1.8 S lens. I shot this image with a wide open aperture and a low percentage of overlap between frames (40% instead of my usual 50-60%) because I've heard good reviews of 35mm S lens that I wanted to push it to is limits.
The 35mm is truly an amazing performer with ultra low distortion and incredibly sharp corners when shot wide-open. It also out performed the Nikon 58mm f/1.4G for coma performance in the corners, something very few Nikon lenses do well.
