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

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

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.
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.
Grey heron, partially back lit, working on home improvements.
Thank you for stopping by to look at my images. Any comments and faves are always appreciated. Have a great day!
a wetlands muskrat selected some new greenery from the opposite side of the pond to add to his shoreside home
66747 Made in Sheffield crawls up to the unloading point at Tinsley yard. To the left is the main part of the old yard and where the old yard signal box was. This area now appears to be being extended.
An update on the text and this area was actually being strengthened for use as a mud / waste unloading pad allowing HS2 excavation materials to be unloaded from trains from Acton to transfer to lorries and deposition in the Thurcroft area.

Soon this will be double track with an interlocking installed. The cell phone towers will remain.
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

I just happened to come across this weir when i was walking along a section of the park which i have never been before. It was fairly steep to go down & of coz, i gotta do it! :P i slided down the soil on my bum with my cam & tripod. That's pretty hilarious if any of you were to witness that :D I actually leap from 1 stone platform to another to get to the middle of the dam, just to get this shot. If i slip & fall, i guess i would be pretty screwed big time haha!
This HDR shot does look like a painting to me :P However to prove that the original shots are already pretty surreal. I've posted another original shot pretty much direct from the memory card (except for just a small amount of increase in overall saturation) -

About
The Weir at Linear Park
The shot
Standard 3 exposures shots (-2..0..+2EV) with tripod using the Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens and a polarized light filter
Photoshop
- Added a layer effect of 'curves' to increase the contrast
- Added a layer effect of 'saturation' of yellows & blues for the splash effect
- Used 'unsharp mask' ( as always ) on the background layer

All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are ( as always ) welcome.

A Red-eyed Vireo returns to the nest with plant fiber that will be woven into the nest. It was fascinating to watch numerous trips in which the bird would return with a variety of natural materials to shore up the home front.
Shenandoah National Park
Germany, Wedel, the River Elbe near Hamburg,
one of the remaining last few fish trawlers on the Elbe.
Fishing on the Lower & Outer Elbe is of considerable importance for the region & with its environmentally friendly technology, is exemplary within the European Union.
The preservation of fisheries also serves environmental protection, because it ensures a lasting interest in sufficient water quality, biodiversity & efficiency of the aquatic habitats, it can thus contribute to an improvement in water ecology.

pardon the crappy photo quality, but hooray for the heroic electrical crew, who worked all of christmas day and night, often in driving rain, to get our power restored — the lights came back on at 12:18am, the house is slowly warming up, I'm able to do dishes/take a shower again, and the rain has changed over to snow (temporarily)
