The Loughor Estuary at Penclawdd in Wales at high tide. This area has remakably high tides of up to 10m.
GC L782 highballs west over the trestle at Rockledge, I was so caught up in my tree clearance efforts that I almost didnt get the shot....
well the long awaited day dawned today , and I found out by chance that a local store had the last available copy of the olympus 100-400 lens in stock in the u.k ,due to a cancelled order. a hour later I had it bolted on to the camera and a quick trip down the sea front to test out at high tide . its even better than expected and razor sharp to feeling very chuffed at the moment
Another high bridge spanning the Kentucky River. At 275 feet, this was the tallest bridge in the world in the late 19th century. Near Wilmore, Kentucky

Just a spontaneous, shaky little video with my compact camera (Olympus TG-6). This was early in the morning and there were huge waves crashing onto shore with ocean mist hanging heavily in the air. It was a fantastic atmosphere! The ravens are flying past and Tidda makes her first little video appearance!
The sound of the video was completely unusable due to wind noise so I added some ocean sound that I myself had recorded from another time.
Length: 2:30 minutes

Taken from a beach at South Lake Tahoe. That parachute is being towed by a boat, and I know from experience (see 1st comment), that is one helluva lotta fun.
Some people are wondering which news stories have had the greatest impact on me. Here is my top three:
3. The head-on collision between a VIA passenger train and CN freight train near Hinton, Alberta in February, 1986. Twenty one people died. RCMP friends made it possible for me to join them at trackside. Horrible and unforgettable.
2. Black Friday - the killer tornado that hit Edmonton July 31, 1987. Twenty seven people died, most at the Evergreen Mobile Home Park. I was in the first plane off the ground after the funnel cloud moved on. The scene from the air was heartbreaking. I could look down into homes that had their roofs blown off...and at empty lots where some mobile homes were blown away. Up close the view from the ground was almost beyond description.
1. The Mayerthorpe Massacre - the murders of four RCMP members by a crazed gunman who ambushed them inside a Quonset building on his property northwest of Edmonton on March 3, 2005. People began referring to "the fallen four" but I always tried to use their names: Constable Peter Schiemann, Constable Leo Johnston, Constable Anthony Gordon and Constable Brock Myrol. My shift was over that day and I was babysitting my four year old Granddaughter when the news of a shooting first broke. I'll never forget helping her with a Sponge Bob Square Pants puzzle while getting the terrible details by telephone from the Commanding Officer of the RCMP in Alberta.
On March the 10th, a National Memorial Service was held at the "butter dome" sports complex at the University of Alberta. I still get chills when I recall the dull thud, thud sound of RCMP high brown boots as thousands of Mounties paraded into the building. You could "feel" the building breathe when singer/actor Tom Jackson performed "Amazing Grace" accompanying himself on a First Nation's drum.
There are so many more stories and images to share but enough is enough. This project would not have been possible without countless friends and sources along the way. Thank you.
Another beautiful sunset in western North Carolina. An event I can never tire of enjoying.

It was a frosty morning along the Tuolumne River.
Photo taken with Nikon D600, Tokina 17-35 Pro FX F4 and Kenko Circular Polarizer. I took 9 images at one stop increments (RAW Format). To achieve this with the D600 I used auto-bracketing; it only takes 3 shot burst, so I set the 1st 3 at 3 stop increment, the 2nd 3 at 2 at stops, the 3rd 3 at 1 stop, to take a total of 9 images. I used a Nikon wireless shutter release to limit movement; I dropped it in the river that morning was lucky enough to snag it back out, shook it off and used it all day.
To achieve this dynamic range, color and effects: I use Lightroom 5.5 for workflow and final edit. I first used Photomatix Pro 4 to fuse all 9 images. Now using auto-bracketing I end up with 3 images with 0 stop adjustment because of the 3 shot burst. Photomatix will automatically adjust these to make all 9 images at whatever stop level you input, I set it for 1 stop increment. Once this is done I use Photmatix Fusion Preset to merge the 9 images together. It has many Presets, but this gives me the most natural effects. Once fused, I save in Tiff format to retain as much raw data as I can. I then use NIK Collection; Color Efex Pro 4. For this image I used its Pro Contrast adjustment; it improves the dynamic range and has one of the best Highlight and Shadow adjustments I’ve seen (even better than Lightroom’s). I do my final exposure, then tweak Clarity and Vibrance a bit in Lightroom 5.5 and save in jpg. My Logo (TI_in_Yosemite) is done in Gimp 2.8 and Layered onto the final image. TI_in_Yosemite stands for: Targeted Individual in Yosemite.
I took an oath to defend this Country and its Constitution. This Country has become not the one I once believed in. It has become a Country that Targets individuals, that go against the Statuesque of Corruption that’s imbedded in our Government, Corporations and Society. I will continue to serve this Country and expose those that threaten its moral fiber.

Hydrangea is a common name for the genus Hydrangea from the Hydrangeaceae family. It mainly concerns evergreen and deciduous shrubs and climbing shrubs and a single tree. Together involves nearly 100 species growing in America and in China and Japan.
The crop is usually a striking inflorescence. Some species bloom with large, pyramidal panicle, the other with a flattened screen or a more globular inflorescence with many sterile, sterile florets. Aimed to attract the insects which then take care of the nectar in the fertile, fertile flowers in the middle of the inflorescence.
The most famous is the Garden hydrangea Hydrangea macrophylla. The many cultivars have pink, white, red or even (purple) blue inflorescences. The rise is the Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle', a cultivar with huge, spherical composite inflorescences, also known as snowball.
The plant is named after a woman, but it is not known with certainty which. It is often referred to Hortense de Beauharnais, daughter of Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais France, but who was not yet born when the crop around 1771. This name was provided by the botanist Philibert Commerson. It is suspected that the said Hortense was really Hortense de Nassau, daughter of Charles Henry Nicolaus Otto, Prince of Nassau-Siegen, who has taken part in an expedition around the world.
