On my way to Tadoussac (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/36646393504) and leaving Quebec city, somewhere in the corner of my eye, I saw something that collected my interest, and turning left I saw some amazing waterfalls further away, but because it was late I decided to drive on and reserve this maybe for the way back.
And then I left Parc Du Bic (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/38768796185) in horrible weather, that lasted the whole day, until.............. I arrived in Quebec city again and it started to clear up. I was extremely lucky to see these amazing falls, and I spent a few hours trying to catch its grandness with a sun shining brightly!
My whole Canada 2017 trip: From Brighton Ontario I went straight to Tadoussac that's in the heart of the marine park, and the day after I went to the camp site Les Bergeronnes, where I spent 5 days whale watching on the shore (and one boat trip), every 5 minutes or so seeing whales popping up.
On the fifth day, around sunset I took the boat from Les Escoumins to Trois Pistoles. The south and the north shore of the bay are very different. The north shore has lots of rocks, while the south part is a little more sandy, and it is a fantastic drive all along! I finally headed to PN Gaspésie, where I spent 3 very cold nights in my tent (with all my clothes in my sleeping bag), but the park is wonderful!
Back in the direction of Brighton I spent a few hours in old Quebec, and drove the 1000 islands road, along the saint Lawrence river.
I certainly can recommend everybody who loves nature doing this trip. It should take around 2 weeks!

Camber Sands
Camber is a small resort in East Sussex and is not only famous for its sand dunes but its connection to the Pop and Film Industry.
Close to the River Rother the dunes stretch for 3 miles (just over 4.5km) and are unique to East Sussex. Part of the dunes are classified a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the residue are a Site of Nature Conservation Importance.
They were fortified during WWII because of their resemblance to both Desert and Normandy and intense training went on there. There is a ship which lies of the coast called the ‘Avon’ which went down in 1852 and the wreck can be seen at low tide.
Some of the films that were shot here include: The Longest Day; The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner; The Theory of Everything and for those who enjoy a more cultural frame of mind then go no further than ‘Follow That Camel’. What a treat.
Pop Artists include: Suede; Nick Heyward; Fatboy Slim; Paul McCartney and Wings and Squeeze, quite a line up. A terrific place for a beach holiday as there are lots of other things to do with kites, such as surfing; landboarding; buggying and other more physical exercise. Me I have a deckchair and a camera what more is needed. Oh yes, a picnic.

As the week wears down and we need to unwind. Some folks go fishing. Some folks use Yoga or they may garden. We need something to get our heads out of the work mode and enjoy activities that interest us, stimulate us and motivate us outside of our jobs.
The purpose of Arches National Park is to protect extraordinary examples of geologic features including arches, natural bridges, windows, spires, and balanced rocks, as well as other features of geologic, historic, and scientific interest, and to provide opportunities to experience these resources and their associated values in their majestic natural settings.
Not sure if I like this or not, no real centre point of interest to catch the eye. All CC welcome. Taken this evening at Helen's Bay County Down.
European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis)
One of a pair that visited this morning, sitting on the power line that runs along our street. This one seemed to take an interest in what I was doing.
We don't often see them in our neighbourhood.
Scanning notes that will , no doubt, interest 0.007 percent of the Flickr population. See previous for development notes.
Using Lomography's Digitaliza scanning mask (old style), I couldn't get scans sharp enough out of the Epson V700 to see any form of grain structure, which usually means everything is out of focus. I did find a solution, using Epson Scan software, in case anyone's interested...
-- Scan height on this mask is 1.2mm, but Epson's own holders (which I no longer have) are adjustable from 2.5 to 3.5mm. My results were *very* soft, so I raised the mask by 1.75mm (using US quarters as spacers) to 2.95mm.
-- I switched from "film area guide" to "Film (with film holder" to force use of the higher resolution lens. I didn't think Epson Scan would recognize images from Digitaliza, but it did. Note you won't be able to scan sprocket holes using this option.
-- Film type: B&W Negative
-- 16-bit greyscale
-- 3200 dpi (6400 looked worse)
-- target size "Original"
-- turn off unsharp mask (sharpen yourself in post)
All of this seems to do the trick. Grain right off the bed wasn't 'tack' sharp (it's a flatbed scanner, after all), but definitely readable, and easily sharpenable.
Thank you in advance for your interest and comments on my photos. That's much appreciated.
Please view at the full size of 1600. (double click, on PC)
It's also more pleasure for you.
(I hope so)
I saw this magical moment in the winter of 2023.
It is on the Quiraing.(Skye)
While my son was walking (partley on his hands and knees) to the Needle, and because I am too old for that kind of adventures, I took a walk on the other side of the car park.
I want to dedicate this build to my amazing wife.
You have always been there for me and have even taken an interest in my unique hobbies. You even went as far as creating your own Lego mocs flic.kr/ps/3U8Yxz ! Even though this world can be a cold place, you give warmth and comfort to everyone around you, just like this city under the dome. I love you so much and I always will.
Thank you for the quarter dome parts (87375) you gave me for your Lego advent calendar that you put together each year.
Thanks for view and comment!

A seaview at Filey Brigg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Filey Brigg is a long narrow peninsula situated about a mile north of Filey, North Yorkshire. Its steep cliffs are 20 metres high and consist of a variety of material, from pure sandstone to pure limestone. The landward end of the peninsula of Filey Brigg is known as Carr Naze, whilst the long neck of rock at the seaward end is called the Brigg. In the early 1970s the fields on top of the Brigg were turned into Filey Brigg Country Park. The biology and geology of Filey Brigg place it among Sites of Special Scientific Interest in North Yorkshire.
The first record of Filey Brigg's ancient history was made by a local antiquarian, Dr Cortis (MD), who excavated a Roman signal station in 1857. In November that year he delivered a lecture to Filey's antiquarians in which he enumerated a number of findings made by "a painter belonging to Filey, named Wilson," who had found large quantities of Roman pottery, bones and charred wood in the area of Carr Naze on the northern side of Filey Bay. The findings encouraged more excavations, the result of which was five large stones believed to be altars or bases of pillars, a dog chasing a stag being carved on one of them. Cortis also reported that near one of the stones an inscription had been found bearing part of two lines:
CÆSAR S E
Q V A M . S P E[4]
Further investigations conducted in 1920 resulted in the belief that the five stones found by Cortis were foundations of a wooden watchtower. However no further remains are visible nowadays because of cliff erosion. It was concluded that the signal station was erected in the late 4th century and was abandoned or plundered around 400 A.D. The five stones can now be seen in the Filey Crescent Gardens.
The mask is telling us that it is in the interest of the common good that the rich get richer. That it is best to let them get on with things and that we all will benefit in the end. Humpty Dumpty said 'There's glory for you!' 'I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. 'Of course you don't — till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knockdown argument for you!"' 'But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument",' Alice objected. 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.' 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'

This was one of those rare moments when everything comes together in a split second. I was composing the shot and spotted the rowing Eight out of the corner of my left eye an thought it'd make some nice foreground interest. What I didn't see but rather heard was the loud flapping of wings as the two swans swooped in from my right to land just where I'd have chosen if I could, Fortunately I shoot HDR so I was all set and instinctively pressed the shutter button.
Who knows what things these birds could be discussing and what might turn their attention....but something has!
Arches National Park has some amazing sights everywhere that go unnoticed; its not all just cool arches and balanced stone. At night, those often overlooked features can become incredibly dramatic and breathtaking.
People are like that too; hidden inside all of us is untapped beauty. Some may see it, others don't, but those who truly love us help us bring it out for all to see.
It's been a couple months since a train of high interest for me has run south on the Mactier, but today opportunity finally arose in the form of CP 3082 South hauling a half-loaded CWR train bound for Toronto. I'll refrain from any complaints about SD40s not being selected as power because this geep looks damn good, possibly the best looking CP one I've shot throughout my time foaming. Freshly repainted, nice numberboards, and class lights intact. Seen here passing by the Old Second Road crossing just south of Craighurst with some nice colour on the trees above.
