This little one is doing some reno on the old homestead which just happens to be my garden.

Big difference from previous photo taken on Sept 28, 2020

 

Everything I said about the previous photograph applies here too. Shooting street scenes requires us being aware of more than just the subject in front of us. Here the light and shade, textures on the wall, and especially the colour, are the key elements. Here there's a nod to the late Canadian photographer Fred Herzog (1930-2019).

Cill Chriosd Manse House, Nr Broardford, Isle of Skye

 

I'll give you a break from Valencia for a while!

 

Back to March and my trip up to Skye. I met up with Skyeweasel and although the weather/tides meant Elgol was pretty pointless she was kind enough to show me a few locations I'd not shot before on the Broadford to Elgol road.

 

I'd seen this old manse house on a map and aerial photo and had it in mind to try to find but Louise took me straight there and we must have spent 90mins at least trying different povs and portrait v Landscape orientations. The snow on the mountains added a different feel. Several areas of rock existed to create leading lines and this was one of them.

 

Have to say I really enjoyed this location so once again my sincere thanks to Louise for her help and guidance on the day. Check out her channel if you haven't already www.flickr.com/photos/95388056@N02

What do you all think?

 

Do you guys want another review?

Workers on a rooftop in Fès.

This house looked so sad for a very long time. The area at the front was overgrown and full to bursting with three cornered leeks.

 

It took the new owners a bit of time, but it's now looking lovely. You can just see the Welcome sign I took a photo of on the left hand wall - www.flickr.com/photos/44506883@N04/50176710771/in/album-7...

 

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

Young red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) collecting hay. Grass was recently mowed with some hay remaining, and it's a great opportunity for some nest improvement.

 

Młoda wiewiórka (Sciurus vulgaris) zbierająca siano. Trawa zostałą niedawno skoszona i pozostało po tym nieco siana, co jest znakomitą okazją do ulepszenia gniazda.

'twas great fun watching a pair shore up their nest in anticipation of little ones this morning.

Created by blending elements from several Wombo images.

Some of my old 1/72 were pretty rushed and all getting a good revisit. Much improved Mig-29 and now working on some camo versions.

Thank you for stopping by to look at my images. Any comments and faves are always appreciated. Have a great day!

Pileated Woodpecker working on another room in this 'Mossy Pine' condo development.

I last stopped to photograph this small ruined building near Elphin back in 2014 ('Des Res'). It sits atop a small 'hill' with stunning views to Cul More and Suilven at left and right. The skies on this visit were particularly 'angry', rendering the mountains as almost black. I was pleased to see that perhaps this is not quite as abandoned as I thought; there was some additional, unexpected garden furniture added since my last visit.

Stumbled across this old gem! Did a little composite work on the sky and was happy with the result!

I know I have used this subject already, but this was just too much of an improvement from my point of view, not to be used for today's picture.

A CSX West Olive coal train turns the corner toward Grand Rapids in Plymouth, Michigan with a much improved yellow nose scheme. I hated the all grey and blue/grey schemes, this was an improvement but far from what could have been considering all the classy schemes that disappeared into Family Lines and CSX. April 1990
