one of the two first conceptual shots I have created with an absence of people in the frame, although there is a sense that they are present. Using the theme 'Collection' in a more dramatic and dark approach.

For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”

Historically, nvestigation into tidal physics was important in the early development of celestial mechanics, with the existence of two daily tides being explained by the Moon's gravity. Later the daily tides were explained more precisely by the interaction of the Moon's and the Sun's gravity.
I don't actually call my truck that, but it sure turns heads everywhere it goes. Out in the middle of nowhere, though, attention's not really an issue. The funniest interaction was when someone stopped me on the highway... they saw the exhaust/intake pipe for the heat on the back of the truck and wanted to know if it was a smoker.
This photo was taken in the Owyhee Mountains beyond the Succor Creek State Natural Area in Oregon. From that spot nestled up against the base of a cliff, I could see for miles in every direction, with only one other vehicle... just a tiny speck way off in the distance. Earlier that day, the couple had waved hello as they passed by me while I was walking around after driving the truck up a long and steep incline..
If you look closely, you can see some of the truck's dashboard instrumentation. Seeing that reminds me about what someone said. While stopping for gas in a really small town, a local policeman pulled up, rolled down his window, and shouted, "Wow! You've got more electronic gear in there than I have in my squad car! I probably should've taken that as an invitation to chat with him for a minute, but after days out in the wilderness alone, I wasn't feeling in a particularly talkative mood yet.
It has been put through the paces on some demanding terrain... this summer I busted off half of the rear bumper.
That other thing that I notice in this image and many others is something called lens compression. Some of the rock formations look fairly close when reality they are miles away.

Art Landscape Maas Tunnel - Dune 4.1 by Daan Roosegaarde.
"Dune 4.1 is an interactive landscape in Rotterdam's Maas Tunnel. It was developped specially for Rotterdam 2007 City of Architecture. This amalgamation of art and technology consists of hundreds of fibers that light up when the sound and motion of people walking through the tunnel strike it. Strollers will experience the artifcial landscape by looking, walking and interacting under the river."
the interaction was a bit disappointing, it made no difference whether we moved or not, whistled or were silent... :)
Normally water creates life.
In this case, new life created this beautiful drop of water.

Disruption
Ownership of activity
Prescribed by acceptable transactions
All is in flux
Resulting in frustration and error
And redefining
What is a fully functioning person
New base-line violations and agreements
To deal with unconscious reaction and reasoned response
Every interaction is observed
To satisfy the needs of commercial interest
There is no snap-back
This is a new socio-economic order
Of artificial intelligence, automation, and surveillance
Those who are left behind
Will be punished by poverty
By systems that are impenetrable and dehumanizing

Some of their trademark high pitched vocalization is apparent in Vic Doc
Orange feet and white feature on wings are diagnostic for this species in the our area
...with vocalization one gets a chance to view this "other aspect "
Quite a bit of flying and interactions
i was thinking most/some of it may be sub adult posturing and pair bonding competition & displays.....but they are also nesting in close proximity ....so i don't really know

"Egret Intimate Interaction" by Patti Deters. A Great White Egret (Ardea alba) parent gently nurtures her very alert chick in a nest made of twigs and branches. The intimate scene lasted just long enough for me to capture the tender moment. It was almost as if they were silently communicating - perhaps "discussing" some important survival lessons. There were other chicks in the nest as you can see by the white fluffy feathers, but this particular baby was the most eager to nestle with mama. These wading birds are found throughout the USA, and this particular spring nest was seen in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Thank you for viewing this picture.

A fun Friday image. A roseate spoonbill forages a little too close to the reddish egret's comfort zone and is promptly chased off.

A Chilly Morning in Bradgate Park -
Despite the freezing 0°C temperature this morning, I couldn’t resist heading out for a photo tour. The grey winter skies, often caused by increasingly frequent storms due to climate change, can be quite discouraging. However, the soft, glowing hues of the early morning sun always have a magical effect on nature, enhancing every frame we capture and bringing joy to photography enthusiasts like myself. Even the simple act of saying good morning feels different on a bright, sunny day.
Living near the historic Bradgate Park is truly a privilege. As I stepped into the park and took a short five-minute walk, I came across two fallow deer fawns (Dama dama) wandering alone, separated from their herd. Without my camouflage cover, I had to move carefully, stepping only on the damp, soft leaves to avoid making any noise. My 1.4x teleconverter wasn’t attached to my 500mm lens, and attempting to change it would have startled them.
As I observed, a group of jackdaws landed on one of the fawns, searching for ticks and other insects in its fur. It was a beautiful display of interspecies cooperation, and I was delighted to witness this moment of solidarity. Both seemed quite at ease, and the interaction lasted for about two minutes. The young fawn was busy with its morning meal and didn’t allow the jackdaws near its neck. Eventually, it leapt slightly, signaling that it had had enough, and the two little companions trotted back toward their family.
Although it wasn’t the exact shot I had envisioned, I plan to work on this subject in the coming weeks and hope to capture even better frames. One particularly striking moment was when a jackdaw perched near the tail of a fallow deer, beautifully framed against the golden bokeh created by the sunlight reflecting in the background.
During my four-hour tour, I also managed to photograph another fallow deer cautiously keeping an eye on me, maintaining a safe distance. And of course, no trip to Bradgate Park would be complete without capturing my favorite small bird—the European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)! I included three different poses of this charming little bird as well.
Now, I leave you with the nine images I uploaded to my Flickr account this afternoon. Thank you all for your comments, favorites, and support. Wishing you a great evening!
Fallow Deer Fawn (Dama dama)
The Fallow Deer (Dama dama) is one of the most recognizable and widespread deer species in the UK, known for its beautiful spotted coat. Its fawns are particularly charming and are a favorite subject for wildlife photographers.
Identification
Size: At birth, fawns weigh approximately 4-5 kg.
Coat:
Newborn fawns have a light brown coat with prominent white spots that provide camouflage in grassy or woodland areas.
As they mature, the spots may fade but are still visible in the summer coat of adults.
Eyes: Large, dark eyes that enhance their endearing appearance.
Behavior
Birth Season: Fawns are typically born between May and July.
Hiding: For the first few weeks, fawns remain hidden in tall grass or woodland undergrowth, relying on their spotted coat for camouflage. They remain motionless when predators or humans are nearby.
Dependence on Mother: Fawns nurse from their mothers and stay close to them for protection. By autumn, they begin grazing more independently but remain within the safety of the herd.
Habitat
Fallow deer are found in parks, open grasslands, and woodlands across the UK. Managed deer parks like Bradgate Park and Richmond Park are excellent places to observe them.
Diet
Fawns primarily rely on their mother’s milk during the first 8-10 weeks.
As they grow, they begin to graze on grasses, herbs, and leaves.
Conservation Status
Fallow deer are not native to the UK but were introduced by the Romans or Normans.
They are now naturalized and thrive in many areas, often managed in parks to prevent overpopulation.
Their conservation status is of "Least Concern."
Interesting Facts
Fawns are born with no scent, which helps them avoid detection by predators.
Their characteristic spots are most prominent during the first months of life.
Fallow deer are known for their seasonal coat changes, with darker coats in winter and lighter, spotted coats in summer.
Where to Spot Them in the UK
Bradgate Park, Richmond Park, and Knole Park are some of the best places to see Fallow Deer and their fawns in their natural habitat. Early morning or late afternoon is ideal for observing their activities.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.

Quite a different image from the usual things I take and display,, a totally different genre, but nothing wrong with diversifying a little, especially while the chance is available to shoot these fantastic sea birds. Puffins are always a joy to shoot or indeed just to sit and watch if you find a good place to see them.
This was taken on the fantastic Isle of May off the coast of Fife, where up to 120,000 Puffins nest between April at the beginning of August, this particular pair were quite comical and I shot them for a while, this being my favourite image with the interaction between the two of them clear to see.
Sitting in a cafe. The warm autumn sun on some wooden chairs. The seats formed in a smooth shape were somehow in interaction with the sunlight. the Illumination of the seats emphasizes their surface, form, design and material.
The wonderful Fatoumata Diawara from her gig in Vincennes, a suburb of Paris, in May 2014.
I've loved Fatoumata since I first saw her at WOMAD 2009 as a backing singer to Oumou Sangare. She just shows such great joy when she's performing...and I love her music.
I'd arranged a photo pass via her assistant, Sophie. When I turned up at the gig, security said (en français, naturellement!) that I could only shoot the first three songs.
However, before the gig, Sophie came out to introduce herself. When I checked about the three songs, she replied: "Three songs? Who told you that? She's barely getting warmed up after three songs. Shoot the whole gig, I'll square it!"
Music to my ears. :-)
You can see a video of Fatoumata singing 'Bissa' here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E82BifytoYY
You can see more of my shots of her, here: Fatoumata Diawara
My profound thanks are due to Sophie Cragg, for arranging my photo pass and particularly for allowing me to shoot the full show.
