As the water levels went down the first Yellow-billed Spoonbill arrived in Braside. We spent some good half an hour together because it had been showing all the signs indicating imminent departure from that tree where he landed shortly after 7 AM. The sun was getting higher and higher, I had the feeling it would fly away from me anyway... Finally I got what I wanted, after all.

David Nice thanks for your subtle correction.
Well I've been meaning to get up here this winter and it seemed a decent forecast, so after a dawn shoot and a couple of other locations in the Lakes I headed over to Dufton, near Appleby and went for it.
It was good walk all the way up to the head of this spectacular valley and it took me a good hour and a half to get to this point. On the way up I saw two men speeding down the Pennine Way and said good afternoon to both of them, but they had their heads down like they were somewhere else and resolutely moved on silently!
Anyway, after a 30 minute shoot up at the top in freezing conditions, I had a couple of decent pano's in the bag, as my 16-35 wasn't wide enough to get the full vista in. I set off back down and I was stopped twice on the way down, (which took me just under an hour), by two chaps who asked me if I was in the "Spine"?
I hadn't a clue what they were talking about and it wasn't until I got home later and watched the news that I saw there was an endurance "Montane Spine Race" on this stretch of the Pennine Way! So, I at least found out why my “backbone” was being questioned on my descent!
This is a spectacular glaciated "U" shaped Valley where the Great Whin Sill runs horizontally through this area creating sheer sides and some spectacular columnar rocks. I had hoped to stay here for sunset, but as you can see there was a bank of cloud in the West. So I managed this shot with the light before things closed in. Great day out all in all!

These fences high up on the French Alps always amuse me, as they aren’t always where I as a visitor would put them. For example a few feet to the left there’s a hairy drop and only a rope fence to protect one from a perilous descent, whereas there appeared to be some run off past this. There is I’m sure a very sensible explanation and may a further few feet beyond there is grave danger.
This was taken last Friday and knew that it would be on a Friday that I would post this. The view from this point was absolutely beautiful from every angle.
Thanks for stopping HFF
Looking east from the Sierras, near Bishop to the mountains of Nevada, and the high, sagebrush desert.

At 100 feet, it’s the highest waterfall that’s entirely in the state of Minnesota.
In Tettegouche State Park.
In Grand Portage State Park, High Falls is the highest waterfall in Minnesota and it separates Canada from the US. It was misting so much that we were soaked before we even saw the falls!
I have had several Acers and have actually managed to kill them all, except this one. Third year and i'm determined to keep it, for a few years anyway!
I've so very much missed blogging so I'm diving back in!

"Force" is local dialect for "falls", (derived from the Norse "Foss") and does not refer to the power of the river. These are the upper (higher) falls on the river Tees and have a 21 metre drop..
An Australian Pelican glided effortlessly past my high vantage point on top of the cliffs that line Big Bend on the Murray River near Swan Reach in South Australia.
Happy Feathery Friday!
A Sunny 1st of October - we decided to go one more time to the North Sea coast to visit the gulls again before winter comes. They wear their winter plumage now, the chicks are grown up, wind becomes cold and the light changed somehow.
High Wycombe
St Lawrence's Church and Mausoleum (which were also constructed by Sir Francis Dashwood around the same time the caves were excavated). West Wycombe Park, ancestral seat of the Dashwood family and also a National Trust property, lies directly across the valley. The caves' striking entrance, designed as the façade of a mock gothic church and built from flint and chalk mortar, which was erected in around 1752, can be viewed directly from West Wycombe House.
Low price with high quality! Climb Mount Fuji is okay in the UNIQLO clothes. 洋服の青山(aoyama) is mainly selling the business wear.
A tribute to structural engineering. Tensile forces held in check by minimal materials, much to admire.
Galvanised steel bar transformed to functions of a physical equation that graphs an octet of perfect catenary arcs across the valley. Beauty from purpose, with enough strength for the task, and no more.
