I am definitely one for the natural world rather than man made constructions, however there is only so long you can ignore a visit to the likes of Salford Queys. Yes, I would have preferred it before the transition when in my childhood it acted as the inland port for Manchester. Boats and warehouses would have offered much more interest to me. Todays bright lights provide employment, retail and housing and offer up a modern and distinctive skyline. The flat calm water in the old docks of course provide some fine reflections of the neon illuminated towers.
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.

Lost interest in taking photos for a while but dusted the cobwebs off the camera and resumed.
Taken at RSPB Titchwell, Norfolk.
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.
Sorry for my absence. This is due to a persistent cold, which left me with very little energy.
This is one of all that beauties in that region. I like them!
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, twice)
It's also more pleasure for you.
(I hope so)
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.
True belonging is not passive. It's not the belonging that comes with just joining a group. It's not fitting in or pretending or selling out because it's safer. It's a practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are.
Dr. Brené Brown
Belongingness entails an unwavering commitment to not simply tolerating and respecting difference, but to ensuring that all people are welcome and feel that they belong.
John A. Powell
Today, if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Theresa, Saint Teresa of Calcutta
The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don't talk anymore, they don't sit down to talk and listen. They go to the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, update their status on the internet, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories
Paulo Coelho
We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, ‘It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.
Fred Rogers
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill
When we choose to wonder about people we don’t know, when we imagine their lives and listen for their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see as part of us.
Valarie Kaur
We must remain hopeful that a universal ethic of courage, caring, sharing, respect, radical compassion, and love will make a difference. We can never be too generous or too kind.
Marc Bekoff
I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life — whoever you are, whatever our differences.
John Denver
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
English Counties (05)
This is another collection of images which have been photographed over a long period of time. These are photographs taken mostly on holidays throughout our great English Counties. In the day we have travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, with many coastal and country walks and a lot of photography.
This selection has been chosen from the many Cornwall photographs I have taken. Cornwall is a great county to visit with many places of interest and lots of diversity. We enjoyed many a walking holiday here in the day.
The male Northern Pintail is my favourite duck, mostly because of their impressive photogenicity.
This handsome individual appears to be smiling back at me as he takes off in search of new adventures.
(Feel free to compare this male Northern Pintail to an image of a female that I uploaded just a few images prior.)
Thank you for your interest, views, faves, comments and awards ! This image was captured in Hong Kong 香港. (Best viewed on a larger screen.)

The local deer herd has been spending quite a bit of time grazing in our field. The deer tend to separate into small groups to wander around and graze. As soon as I went outside with the camera the entire fourteen member herd stopped to stare at me. These two were the closest and showed the most interest. Backyard wildlife.

ODC = Fences
Neither Kay or myself has any interest in the black Friday shopping crowds so it is our tradition to take our cameras and go as far away from all that as we can get and shop for photos:) Imagine our delight when we pulled over and walked to the beach to take photos and happened upon this fence of found flip flops proving once again to ourselves if you get out of the car and walk you never know what you will see that you would have otherwise driven right past.....this find is priceless!
Ruby visited the farm at sunset today, and drew Peppers' interest. He is curious about small dogs, but wary of larger ones.
Toffee licks his lips, not in anticipation of what he might catch at the
bird table, but after his lunch.
I don't think he has ever caught a bird in his life and wisely has never shown any interest in them as he knows they can fly and he can't.
Made it to day 13 before sharing a photo of Toffee, last year it was day 11. But what's the point of having a cat unless it features in your photo a day project?
Sunset after a busy day of photography in Cornwall. We were all sitting with our tripods set up, so I built a small cairn to give foreground interest.
River Thames between Hampton Court and Sunbury on Thames.
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.
Die Kreidefelsen von Dover sind hellweiße Klippen, die einen Teil der britischen Küstenlinie bilden und über die Straße von Dover nach Frankreich schauen. Sie sind Teil des North-Downs-Hügelzuges.
Die bis zu 106 Meter hohe Front der Klippen verdankt ihr Erscheinungsbild ihrer Zusammensetzung aus Kalk (purem weißem Kalziumkarbonat), durchsetzt mit schwarzem Feuerstein. Die Klippen verlaufen östlich und westlich der Stadt Dover im County Kent, einem alten und noch immer bedeutsamen englischen Hafen.
Die Kreidefelsen haben einen großen Symbolwert für Großbritannien, da sie am schmalsten Teil des Ärmelkanals Kontinentaleuropa zugewandt sind, und daher in der Vergangenheit gegen drohende Invasionen einen symbolischen Schutz darstellten. Da die Überquerung des Kanals bei Dover den meistgenutzten Seeweg zwischen dem Festland und den Britischen Inseln darstellt, bietet die weiße Linie der Klippen zahlreichen Reisenden auch die erste bzw. letzte Ansicht auf das Vereinigte Königreich.

========================================
The White Cliffs of Dover, part of the North Downs formation, is the name given to the region of English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliff face, which reaches a height of 350 feet (110 m), owes its striking appearance to its composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint. The cliffs, on both sides of the town of Dover in Kent, stretch for eight miles (13 km). A section of coastline encompassing the cliffs was purchased by the National Trust in 2016.
The cliffs are part of the Dover to Kingsdown Cliffs Site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Area of Conservation.

Seen here about to touch down at its home base of Old Warden.
Of interest is the 'W/T' stencilled onto the rudder. This mark can also be seen repeated quite extensively on Spitfires and Hurricanes of the WW2 era. W/T was the term used back then for 'radio' - Wireless Telegraphy. All parts of the aircraft had to be electrically bonded to the main frame, or else interference on the radio could result. It's not practicable to check the electrical continuity by visual inspection, hence the need to mark each part when bonding was completed.

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.

“Pre-Capture”
I have an interest in weather and trains; moreover severe weather. Mirrorless technology has changed photography beyond what was once improbable if not impossible without layering or stacking images, into possible. This is one frame of many, many, in succession after I saw the lighting bolt I depress the shutter and everything back for nearly 10 seconds is saved to my card, at 30 fps. This was my favorite lighting bolt of the dozens left on the various frames. Sadly the train wasn’t in an ideal spot, I was at 18mm as to avoid missing any potential strikes while the train approached from Keenesburg. It was a very slow moving train, less than 15mph, Dave Cohen and I assumed over high wind warnings and severe weather alerts on this extremely intensifying line of super cell thunderstorms on the High Plains of Colorado. Moments later after the train passed we were pelted with hail and torrential rain. The following post shows the DPU units in cascading hail stones illuminated by the sun from under the storm complex. I will keep trying and I have others and will continue to do this. I can hardly wait till spring.
