A nice but brief close encounter with this Red Kite on Thursley last weekend. I thought that processing the image in high-key mono would work well I hope you agree.
Bill Keys arrived in the area around 1910, acquired the ranch property and built the first part of the house. There were later additions after he married Frances in 1917after a whirlwind courtship. She came to the ranch with him where she bore seven children, four of which survived to adulthood. On the right side of the image is one of several wells on the property. In addition to raising the children, Frances tended a large garden and fruit trees. She sold preserves to other residents in the area as well as to visitors. Both Frances and Bill worked hard and made a successful life in a challenging desert environment. They lived here until their deaths in the late 60's. Joshua Tree National Park acquired the property in 1969.
This is a key ring that my wife bought from a shop called Smiggle which is in our town called Horsham.
It's design suited this weeks theme of "Multicolour" so I removed it from my wife's car keys and set up for a photo.
"The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed."
-- Ernest Hemingway (American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist)
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.

Crazy Thuesday 7.1.2025 "Childhood memories"
I made this in the age of around 12, 60 years ago, as a christmas present for my parents. It's now in use be me.
I probably have mentioned a group on Facebook called 52Frames. Each week a photographic challenge is given and last week it was high key and this was my entry. Imagine my surprise when it was chosen for the 52 picks. The 52 picks are chosen by a committee made up of pros and amateurs that changes out every so often to keep things as fair as possible. Photos are chosen from all the entries, and I'm not sure but I think something like 3-4,000 each week. Only the second time in 3 years that this has happened for me so it's more rare than the Explore! My Granddaughter named the tree Seahorse because in the summer when it has it's leaves the shape looks very much like a seahorse! LOL Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend!
This is a view back toward the large bay that offers free anchorage for boats. Many people live on seaworthy boats part time or even year round, and sail the waters of the Caribbean. Most Caribbean islands offer free protected anchorages and the occupants use dinghies to come ashore.\
Key West, Florida
A few years ago I visited the Florida Keys. I enjoyed the beautiful weather while I was there and captured this tropical sunset.

I used to love the rainbow
And I used to love the view.
Another early morning, I'd pretend that it was you.
But I caught the darkness baby
And I got it worse than you.
I caught the darkness,
It was drinking from your cup.
I caught the darkness,
Drinking from your cup.
I said is this contagious?
You said just drink it up.

When on a workshop, each night I review the next day's proposed photography location and consider all the details and the latest weather forecast. On this particular evening we were in Te Anau and the forecast for Fiordland was for strong North West winds and heavy rain. Our objective for sunrise was Key Summit, which from Te Anau meant a 3am departure. With a forecast like that you would be forgiven for choosing not to go. I reviewed the forecast closely and especially the speed of the incoming weather and the weather maps. Having many years experience in New Zealand's mountains meant I had some idea of how the weather developed, but of course no one has a crystal ball. I said to the group that rather than stay in bed we should roll the dice and try our luck. We awoke to calm conditions, as we approached the start of the Routeburn track it was still dark but I could see we were in cloud. As we walk along the track our head lamps picked up the tiny droplets of water in the air, it was strangely calm. Shortly before we reached the turnoff to Key Summit the air cleared and we could see stars above. I knew we had climbed above the low cloud and I had a sense this was going to be one of those magic mornings in the mountains...

We took the tour of Keys Ranch at Joshua Tree National Park. Bill Keys was an early miner and rancher in the area. He was quite the scavenger as he built the buildings and fences from pieces and parts he found (or appropriated) in the area. He lived on the ranch for 60 years accumulating metal and wood pieces, trucks, cars and other detritus. The park service has owned the ranch since the early 70's. This is an example of the Keys Ranch fence. It was likely in slightly better shape when Keys was alive. If you zoom in you can see the watertower, windmill, residence and other buildings in the distance through the fence.
Happy Fence Friday!
To say that life was tough in Joshua Tree in the early 20th century is a gross understatement. Remote, rugged, extremely isolated, with all the harshness and challenges of living in the desert apply to the Keys Ranch area of what is now Joshua Tree National Park. Bill Keys is perhaps the best known of the early settlers in the area, and the National Park Service provides guided tours to his ranch.
