Ever since seeing Gareth Brookes swirly orb from here I've wanted to visit and on Day (night) 2 Phil and I visited Dolbadarn Castle.
Gareth was definitely in my thoughts this particular evening and probably shaking his head at my swirly orb technique. I couldn't nail a swirly one so I switched to my acrylic bubble rod, Convoy S2+ torch in strobe mode all linked together with the www.lightpaintingbrushes.com universal connector. I've not spun one of these for years so I was quite happy to see this staring back at me from the screen.

Sometimes when you're out photographing bugs, there really aren't any to be found. Up here (in Stockholm Sweden) this happens ore frequently than down south when autumn comes aroud.
On this particular trip I came home with just two useable shots - but fortunately this one was not just useable but actually turned out very very nice!
This is a ground wolf spider (Trochosa terricola) and the wet moss and its wonderful green colour gave the shot a nice oomph in my opinion.

The old lock keepers cottages. Abandoned and derelict cottages can be found near to the old wet dock in Ipswich Suffolk UK. Hopefully, one day, they might be restored and used as homes. Who knows but if you have any info on them (past, present or future) then please leave a comment below. Thanks. March 2021.
“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
― The Time Keeper
Of the photos that I took at the zoo today, this is my favorite. The rain came on suddenly. It was brief and heavy. Alissa is one of the zookeepers that simply keep doing their job, no matter what nature dishes out.
As part of the Festival of Flowers 2013 internationally acclaimed landscape architect, Craig Pocock, and well-known Nga Puhi artist Darren George combined their talents to create a state of the art, five metre high, installation. The artwork was named Kaitiaki or Keeper to give the people of Christchurch a guardian to watch over them and provide hope for the future of the city.
The site of the work was important in the concept behind The Keeper. Kaitiaki is the Maori word for Keeper and can be seen in the sculpture. This is significant in relation to the roles that the Botanic Gardens and the Canterbury Museum play in our community’s identify and well-being. The other word in the sculpture is Atua the Maori word for God. The significance of this word can be read in relation to the text carved into the façade of the Canterbury Museum, “Lo these are the parts of his ways. but how little a portion is heard of him.” (Job Chap.22 v14.)
The installation has a wooden frame made in sections with irrigation built into the felt-covered base. Holes were cut into the felt to take pots with potting mix and plants. The bottom section was hung first and it
built upwards from there. The Keeper will remain on-site for two years and will be replanted each time the annual beds in the Botanic Gardens are changed.
The former lock keepers' cottages at Bowling were designed by the distinguished Glasgow architect practice's of John Burnet, Son and Campbell and were built in 1896 on the Forth and Clyde canal, the oldest and longest canal in Scotland. Situated on the north side of the canal, they are the only Arts and Crafts lock keepers houses on the canal and were built for the Caledonian Railway Company, which owned the canal at the time. The houses are notable for having some fine Arts and Crafts decorative detailing and they form part of an important group of structures at the western entrance to the canal which includes the locks, the former customs house and the nearby bothy (all separately listed). This retention of their original context emphasises their association with the canal and is an important part of their interest. The houses also represent a time when the canal was developing due to the growth of the railway.

Just a side note............ My one year anniversary here on Flickr is in a few days. One year ago, i had a cheap point and shoot , i had no idea what HDR was or even how to take an image in manual mode, three cameras later , i am still learning each and everyday. Just want to thank all of you for your great support and friendship!!! I feel honored to view and comment on your great work. So again Thank you for the 175,000 views and 124 Explored photos. Your CC has been so helpful, you know who you are out there. Have a great week everyone, and most of all your wonderful words have been the high point in my rather crappy year.
Interesting Info
Construction on the lighthouse was authorized by the Second United States Congress, under President George Washington in 1792. Construction began on June 7, 1796, and was completed on November 5, 1796. The lighthouse and adjacent Camp Hero were heavily fortified with huge guns during World War I and World War II. Those gun emplacements and concrete observation bunkers (which are also at nearby Shadmoor State Park) are still visible.
It was the first lighthouse in New York State, and is the fourth-oldest active lighthouse in the United States. The tower is 110' 6" high. The current light, equivalent to 2,500,000 candle power, flashes every 5 seconds and can be seen a distance of 18 nautical miles (33 km)
I did not want to make anyone think that I was against the mule rides up to the towns. They all seemed well cared for. I have nothing against them at all, I just felt more like walking than making them haul me back up those stairs. Here is a photo I took of the mule keepers waiting for some clients. I took this on my iPhone looking back up the trail.
I came upon a lighthouse,
at the end of the road,
top of the highlands,
watching the tides come and go,
I looked for a keeper,
but there was none,
only the wind,
the clouds,
the woods and the sun,
I asked the lighthouse if loneliness transpassed here on and on,
he smiled and looked around,
my friends,
my keepers,
he said,
are the wind, the clouds, the woods and the sun...........
