"I think the extent to which I have any balance at all, any mental balance, is because of being a farm kid and being raised in those isolated rural areas."
-- James Earl Jones (American actor who has been described as "one of America's most distinguished and versatile actors" for his performances on stage and screen, and "one of the greatest actors in American history")
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Fast moving clouds caused this atmospheric optical effect to last less than a minute. The brilliance and colors could not be adequately imaged.

The trees are living literally on the edge in the most inhospitable conditions I can imagine. in this version the framing is tighter for a more minimalist and moody photo ... #etbtsy

I took a trip to Nun’s Cross Farm on Dartmoor a few weeks back, a location which really suits dark brooding skies. Unfortunately I fell victim to the downside of these ideal conditions on my way back to the car as the rain fell persistently (as they used to say in the 70s).
This Little Owl looked a bit grumpy as it perched on a wooden gate.
Little Owls are most active at dawn and dusk, and after dark when most hunting occurs. However, they can frequently be seen during the middle of the day, basking in the sun on an exposed perch such as a sign, telegraph pole, dead tree or isolated building.

It must be hard going for the signalman in a Pennine winter !

A reprocessed shot taken on the most isolated and remote of all the treks I've done. In ten days we saw not a single tourist or westerner, only a handful of nomads, with their yurts and horses. This was the night before crossing the Kharkhiraa pass, at around 3000m. The light on the hills often looked unreal, but the only processing to this image is lowering of the exposure and a slight increase in contrast.
Hoy ha tocado madrugar para hacer alguna nocturna y el amanecer en la Arnia. Os dejo una de las nocturnas. Espero que os guste.
This is the most isolated ski lodge on Ben Lomond. But what a majestic location!
PERSONAL NOTE:
I'm glad to report that yesterday, for the first time in nearly five weeks I got out for a photo walk with camera. They were a series of street shots around town taken with my Leica D-Lux 7. It's certainly fun to get back to processing photographs again. I'll post them after this short series concludes.

When the blooming is completed, begins the development of the fruits (capsules) which in 4-5 months ripen and reach a diameter of 3-6 cm, ovoid, of greenish or green-yellowish colour, with a sparse cover of spines less thin and spiny than those of the “cupule” of the true chestnuts; each one of these, dehiscent by three (rarely two) valves: they contain one to three (4) seeds known as “conkers”, glossy, of ferrugineous brown colour when ripe with big white or greyish hilum; oval-depressed shaped if isolated or semi-oval with one or two flattened sides if by two or three-four in the fruit.
Aesculus — Конский каштан, или жёлудник, или эскулус — растение семейства Сапиндовые (Sapindaceae)
Конский каштан обыкновенный (лат. Aésculus hippocástanum) — крупное лиственное дерево, самый известный в Украине вид рода Конский каштан.
Плоды — трёхстворчатая шиповатая коробочки, каждая содержат одно (реже - два или три) ореховидных семени (часто в обиходной речи называемые конскими каштанами или просто каштанами)’
Одна з якостей каштана – це зниження в'язкості крові. Тому плоди використовують при виготовленні препаратів від варикозу, геморою і т.д.
For three hours prior to sunset, this isolated storm produced at least a tornado and 2 inch hail to my north and east. By the time sunset occurred is was approaching Sidney, Nebraska with lots of fire and numerous thunderheads. More to follow.

Wrong place, wrong year but not far away. An old farm cottage near Singleton, New South Wales on the Putty Road.
I think this acorn is from a red oak and accidentally found its way here from USA so it sits on the mantle-piece as a curiosity. There are some red oaks in UK but they aren't a native species.

Sandhill Crane (juvenile).
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles browner with no red on head. Plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska east across arctic Canada to the Hudson Bay and south to western Ontario. There are isolated populations in the Rocky Mountians, northern prairies, and the Great Lakes region along with in Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida. They can also be found in Cuba.

In various regions of Asia—especially Korea, Japan, and parts of Southeast Asia—cats with short, curled tails have been a familiar sight in both urban and rural landscapes for centuries. These distinctive tails, often twisted like a spiral or loop, are the result of a natural genetic mutation that has persisted in local populations, particularly in isolated or inbred groups. In Korea, these cats are not an officially recognized breed, but they are common as both stray and domestic animals, and are often viewed fondly by locals.
The cat shown here—a calico female with a short, curled tail—is a beautiful example of this trait (although it is not clearly visible in the image). We found her at the harbor, keeping a vigilant eye on everything around her, full of curiosity and poise. After the photos were taken, she stayed close to us, gently asking for affection—clearly a lady of the port, confident and at ease in her domain. Her tricolor coat, typical of female calicos, adds symbolic value: in many Asian cultures, this pattern is associated with good luck and protection of the home.

This is one of my favorite Cypress Tree shots. I love how so many flowers are growing around this tree’s trunk ,distant from the shore or any close neighbors. It’s interesting how four of us shot this lake for the same amount of time, saw the same trees and flowers and all had a significantly distinct vision and interpretation on how to communicate the beauty of the place in our work. I think everyone would see the beauty but making a good image out of the chaos of color and form is a challenge. Keep in mind, I’m only showing you ones I like, not the hundreds more that hit the trash heap. Unlike film, like one of my friends shoots (big expensive film up to 8 x 10), digital allows us to take as many as we like, which costs only time and not money. In my retired case, “Time is not money”. (Bald Cypress - Taxodium distichum) (Sony a1ii, 24-105 lens @ 68mm, f/6.3, 1/80 second, ISO 1600)
