Old and on it's final retirement days, the old Track Marshall still seems to be of use with hauling the fishing boats out of the water at Cley Nature Reserve beach.
Future racing driver in his beautiful electric powered car going round the pits. Jaguar 100 SS. Guess he will soon outgrow the car and want a full size one.
(Note - Normally I avoid under 18 age shots but did seek permission from the young lad's father in this instance.)
A wonderful view out watching the wind turbines spinning in the wind.
Her two dogs were lovely - friendly but the one on the right Adam had been in a fight apparently and a little the worse for wear.
The dog on the left is Nora if I remember correctly. Think the look-up feature suggests the dogs could be Wire Fox Terrier.
The location is Cley Nature Reserve out at the beach.
Thanks to the lady for allowing me to photograph the scene. You could watch the North Sea for hours with ships travelling by, plus supply ships doing maintenance on the turbines of the Sherringham Shoal Wind Farm, and all the other goings on.
Image taken on iPhone 13 Pro Max as it hardly ever fails to get a shot when you want everything in reasonable focus, dogs moving around are a challenge to get in focus with a DSLR, however I did get a longer shot with a long lens which I will share in a few days.
Antiques now these post boxes on St Albans Street opposite the back entrance to Windsor Castle. The blue box was celebrating air mail postage, and the red Postage Stamp dispensing box has met with an accident by the look of things.
One more from the fungi trail around Burnham Beeches. These were very impressive specimens and with some lighting from the righthand side became almost transparent. A little spider adding to the interest on the righthand stem.
The very small bokeh in the background a give away of using the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but it gives me a nice depth of field of just the fungi.
At the park
On the waste bins around the park it says “Litter is bitter, neat is sweet”. 😄😄 Brilliant wording in my opinion.
The park was nice and quiet today. Patches and me had acres to ourselves.

THE SOUND OF TREES
Robert Frost
I wonder about the trees.
Why do we wish to bear
Forever the noise of these
More than another noise
So close to our dwelling place?
We suffer them by the day
Till we lose all measure of pace,
And fixity in our joys,
And acquire a listening air.
They are that that talks of going
But never gets away;
And that talks no less for knowing,
As it grows wiser and older,
That now it means to stay.
My feet tug at the floor
And my head sways to my shoulder
Sometimes when I watch trees sway,
From the window or the door.
I shall set forth for somewhere,
I shall make the reckless choice
Some day when they are in voice
And tossing so as to scare
The white clouds over them on.
I shall have less to say,
But I shall be gone.
There is a dog that resides at the hotel we were staying at.
Tess. She’s a lovely young border collie, and can often be found at the front of the hotel on the grass; with her tennis ball in her mouth, or next to her.
She wants you to pick up the ball and throw it for her; at the same time she doesn’t want to let it go out of her possession. It’s an inner battle that she has with herself.
If you do manage to get it she’ll chase it, but, won’t let you have it again.
She’d follow us around as we walked across the field, or sit near us as we sat on a bench… tempting us with the ball.
Tess is very popular amongst the hotel guests, the ones we saw had the same experience as us.
She wasn’t interested in running around with Patches. Which I think Patches was grateful for. Patches enjoys a peaceful less strenuous life.

Erzurum, Turkey, is famous for its cağ kebabı, an early version of doner kebab originating here in the 18th C. It consists exclusively of lamb and lots of tail fat, sliced and marinated for a day in a mixture of salt and pepper, onions and basil and cooked on a huge horizontal spit (Cağ). Photo is of a usta (chef) cooking the meat in a restaurant.

Despite the ravages of age, the frescoes on the ceiling of the Rock Church at Sumela Monastery, Turkey, are still beautiful. The Rock Church is built into a rocky cave at the ancient monastery and the frescoes, with their biblical motifs, date back to the 18th C. Since layers of frescoes are from three different time periods, older frescoes underlay the ones that are currently visible, making restoration very difficult.

A large tree branch decaying in the water of this pond in the middle of the Royal Park. No doubt a favourite spot for the deer as a watering hole. The crisp morning sunshine and a chilly wind helped with the exercise with the Windsor Photographic Society social walk on Sunday morning 7th January 2024.
Sorry folks but this is back to the iPhone but there will be other shots from my big Nikon in due course.
Got down low for a dramatic view point.
On a mild winter’s day
A couple of the stone copings have been forced off into the river below; leaving the bed of cement mortar showing. Some leaves have collected there.

Beautifully turned out Buick made in 1931, petrol engine is 4960cc and the owner was very pleased with his long ownership however the low miles per gallon (around 8 mpg) was a tad painful !!
Marvellous nature
How the spiders build such amazing webs!
Spiders that build webs outside - good!
Spiders that come indoors - bad!

DESIGN
Robert Frost
I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth--
Assorted characters of death and blight
Mixed ready to begin the morning right,
Like the ingredients of a witches' broth--
A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,
And dead wings carried like a paper kite.
What had that flower to do with being white,
The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
What brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
What but design of darkness to appall?--
If design govern in a thing so small.
Another “behind the scenes” iPhone photo. This on is from a recent recording session that I participated in earlier this month. The 3 gentlemen up front are L to R, producer, recording engineer, and standing is the studio owner (names purposely withheld).
A trial run for a Smart Phone Walk around parts of Windsor that a friend and I did yesterday in preparation for it in a couple of weeks time. (Windsor Photographic Society.)
All the shots taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max using a monopod to get the low down and high up images, not easily undertaken with a DSLR.

I’m unsure why they were there… I guess practicing something. The green and white cones around it too - I’m not familiar with them.

One of a number of flowers that we’ve recently planted.
Gazania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Southern Africa. They produce large, daisy-like composite flowerheads in brilliant shades of yellow and orange, over a long period in summer. They are often planted as drought-tolerant groundcover..

A beautiful and striking flower!

The big advantage of this large American cars is there is plenty of room underneath them to keep the family pets cool in out of the sunshine on hot days.
Timing is often everything when it comes to photography and yes I was lucky to catch this one with the tongue wetting the nose !!
Burnley / Cliviger area
On the way back home from Burnley to Stacksteads.
We’d been to Towneley park with Patches.
Cliviger is a small village, though apparently Cliviger as an area is bigger than Burnley; Cliviger is a red rose village situated between Burnley and the Yorkshire town of Todmorden.
In the foreground is a random stone wall built with a sand / cement mortar. My favourite type of wall to build. I love them. Days fly by when you’re building these.

A DREAM PANG
Robert Frost
I had withdrawn in forest, and my song
Was swallowed up in leaves that blew alway;
And to the forest edge you came one day
(This was my dream) and looked and pondered long,
But did not enter, though the wish was strong:
You shook your pensive head as who should say,
‘I dare not—too far in his footsteps stray—
He must seek me would he undo the wrong.
Not far, but near, I stood and saw it all
Behind low boughs the trees let down outside;
And the sweet pang it cost me not to call
And tell you that I saw does still abide.
But ’tis not true that thus I dwelt aloof,
For the wood wakes, and you are here for proof.

As a touring musician, I spend a lot of time in hotel lobbies. I snapped this quick pic during an early morning lobby call for the band to catch the shuttle to the airport during our last day in, Maspalomas, Gran Canaria.
Puddle Photography - in my element with iPhone at water level, wished I had moved to the right a bit more as would get all the towers in the gap. Never mind can try and get in another time when it rains heavily.
Location is between the Windsor building on the right, and the Davidson building on the left, looking towards the impressive Founder's building in front at Royal Holloway University London near Egham.
Shot taken with iPhone 13 Pro Max 5.7mm back camera f/1.5 aperture, shutter 1/560, ISO 50. Rain had just stopped.
