Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
The lens is very slow, so the high ISO is unavoidable, also bit soft past 200mm but still have some fun with it ;) gonna take it to woodland soon so we can see it's potential;) no PP on photos, straight JPEG.
Boats at Morston Quay (NT), Norfolk, England. The way the plane trails were on the same parallel as the boats caught my eye and I like the result as it does give the capture a left to right flow.

Decided for an impromptu outing yesterday to High Shoals Falls in the South Mountain State Park in NC. This waterfall is the highlight of the park.
If you take the entire loop trail as I did, the hike is listed as 2.7 miles. I logged in some more while investigating the many cascades along the Jacob Fork of the South Fork Catawba River.
The hike is listed as strenuous but, while pretty tough, I think the shorter hike up Hawksbill Mountain is much harder. Starting out from the parking lot is about a mile of a wide well groomed trail up at a slight incline. At this point I got my first glimpse of the High Shoals Falls. My first thought was, "How in the hell am I going to get up to it!" It looks like a really steep slog and it is. It is mostly stairs and, if you take your time, you get up to the top fairly quickly and it's not as bad as it first looked.
As you can see from my photo there is a large viewing platform for the falls. This spot was really as close as I wanted to get. Any closer and the spray would have been impossible to keep off my lens. If not for that I would have perhaps gotten a few more compositions.
At this point you have a choice on the return route. You can simply hike back the way you hiked in or, as I did, I took a upward side path to the right, which completes the loop. These steps were not fun. Much taller steps and there are still a ton of them to reach the top of the falls. When you get there, another small waterfall and cascades greet you. At this time I was in full sun and there was no way I was going to get a shot. Compositions here are a bit thin as you have to stay on the boardwalk.
You then cross the stream and, yes, you get to keep climbing uphill for what seems to be forever at this point. You are now walking away from the river in nice forests and as most people don't take this route, I was all alone. Once you reach the top you get to start a fairly steep descent for a long way down. I was thinking the steps down from the waterfall would have been the wiser choice.
But overall it was a great place to visit but would not want to do it when temps are high. I am planning a return visit in the fall as the trees would look incredible.
Thanks for viewing my photos. Comments are always welcome.

The best U shaped valley in the North of England, classic example of glacial erosion. The rocks around the edges of the valley are dolerite the same volcanic rock to be found at Cauldron Snout, High Force and along sections of Hadrian's Wall. An extensive intrusion of this rock known as the Whin Sill.
The mountain scene was serene until an ape appeared on the top. I quickly took the picture, and he was gone. No one believes me that he was really there, but pictures don't lie - they just show us what we want to see. What do you see? If you want to see an ape up there you will. Easy as that.

I probably have mentioned a group on Facebook called 52Frames. Each week a photographic challenge is given and last week it was high key and this was my entry. Imagine my surprise when it was chosen for the 52 picks. The 52 picks are chosen by a committee made up of pros and amateurs that changes out every so often to keep things as fair as possible. Photos are chosen from all the entries, and I'm not sure but I think something like 3-4,000 each week. Only the second time in 3 years that this has happened for me so it's more rare than the Explore! My Granddaughter named the tree Seahorse because in the summer when it has it's leaves the shape looks very much like a seahorse! LOL Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend!
Reading & Northern SD50M #5017 has a 20-car cut of anthracite coal headed back to West Hazleton. The train is passing next to Atlantic Carbon's Stockton Mine, which still actively mines coal.

I was looking for something else in my files and stumbled upon this one which I never posted. So you get a Sierra high from me today ;-)
Not a good idea to try it though, as the pavement is rather hard....

Okay, so not *that* high above the streets, but it felt like a bit of a precarious spot at first, with a vertical drop a few feet away.
An alternative view of Bewdley station and Wribbenhall Viaduct on the Severn Valley Railway, as 55009 'Alycidon' heads north for Bridgnorth.
The viaduct dates back to 1862, with 55009 entering service 99 years later, in 1961.
Taken late in the afternoon on the first day of the SVR's Autumn Diesel Gala - I was on my way home and had pretty much decided to give this shot a go another time. But a 15 minute stop at Bewdley led to me thinking I'd only regret it if I didn't get the shot. Good job I did, it was my favourite shot of the day.
Built in July 1952, OSR 383 is celebrating almost 73 years young and still hauling freight in 2025. Quite the impressive feat, but a lot of credit should be directed at the Ontario Southland employees who work tirelessly to keep their fleet going. In the photo above, ex-SOO 383 takes the solo lead of the Woodstock Job heading west through Beachville easily handling 10 cars on the drawbar.
A view of a rock formation called Rhino Rock, although today it looked more like a crocodile to my eyes. Maybe 6 to 8 metres tall, the seas behind it looked equal in size. Not quite the forecast 10 metres, but still great to gaze at! This is just near the Cape Northumberland lighthouse at Port MacDonnell in South Australia.
Union Pacific coal train CWEMS9-30 screams east past the intermediate signals at Jedburgh on the old Missouri Pacific. I'm not sure what UP limits their coal trains to, speed wise, but these guys were flying!
