It's all about the point of view. I knew what I wanted and realised I needed to take the photo from the upper deck of a bus to get it.

Reedley, Ca.
It used to be a wild and forceful river. Dams and irrigation now siphon off all the water before it disappears into sand. A small portion of the year there is actually enough water to boat, water ski and play in the water. But most of the time it is as dry as shown here, or even completely dry. Another example of man's inhumanity toward the planet.

Kings College in Cambridge at sunrise. The sun rises behind the Chapel at this time of year and on a day with high thin clouds you get a sunrise like this above. It pays to wake up eairly.
The Kings Theatre was one of the 5 original Loew's Wonder Theatres. It opened on September 7th, 1929. Designed by Rapp & Rapp and the interior by Harold W. Rambusch. The interior is loosely based on the Palace at Versailles. The theatre had been abandoned for a number of years starting in the 1970's and underwent a $95 million restoration which was completed in 2015.The theatre had been on my "I want to visit" list for years, finally made it this Open House New York weekend.
A blustery autumnal Kings How looking down to Castle Crag and the Borrowdale Valley.
The light was fleeting with clouds blowing through quickly on a strong wind. I didn't get many autumnal shots this year in the Lakes, with being away and the season shot by to be replaced by bare trees and icy conditions.
This was taken after an early morning meet up on the shores of Derwentwater with Mark Newman. We later made our way up here in the hope of some light on this wonderful landscape, but we didn't get much of that in the end.
This was a brief interlude with the rays of light bringing a bit of life to this view. Mark was taking shots the other way, with the great view down over Derwentwater to Keswick and Skiddaw. Sadly we didn't see the top of Skiddaw all day!

The Kings' Screen, also known as the Quire Screen, is one of the most famous parts of York Minster. Unusually, the screen is asymmetrical, featuring 15 carved statues of kings of England, which means the doorway leading to the Quire is off centre.
The screen was designed around 1420 and features English kings ranging from William the Conqueror to Henry VI. It’s believed it was originally intended to feature 14 statues up to Henry V, but a hasty revision was needed when his reign was unexpectedly cut short in 1422 before the screen was finished, and it became necessary to include Henry VI.
Tomb KV2, found in the Valley of the Kings, is the tomb of Ramesses IV, and is located low in the main valley, between KV7 and KV1. It has been open since antiquity and contains a large amount of graffiti.
A hieratic ostracon has been discovered mentioning the initiation of the tomb, its location selected by the local governor and two of the pharaoh's chief attendants in the second year of his reign. Ramesses IV ascended the throne late in life, and to ensure that he would have a sizable tomb (during what would be a relatively brief reign of about six years), he doubled the size of the existing work gangs at Deir el-Medina to a total of 120 men. Though sizable, KV2 has been described as "simplistic" in its design and decoration. The tomb was excavated at the base of a hill on the northwest side of the Valley of the Kings.
Like other tombs of the 20th Dynasty, KV2 is laid out along a straight axis. The successors of Ramesses III from this dynasty constructed tombs that follow this pattern and most were decorated in a similar manner to one other.
The tomb has a maximum length of 88.66 m and consists of three slowly descending corridors labeled B, C, and D. This is followed by an enlarged chamber (E), and then the burial chamber (J). Past the burial chamber lies a narrow corridor (K) flanked by three side chambers.
The tomb is mostly intact and is decorated with scenes from the Litany of Ra, Book of Caverns, Book of the Dead, Book of Amduat and the Book of the Heavens.
The sarcophagus is broken (probably in antiquity), and the mummy was relocated to the mummy cache in KV35.

Ozark National Forest, Arkansas. 6 other photographers there besides me at 8am this morning. It's a popular spot.
The wondrous architectural design of the roof at King Cross station keeps an Islamic sensibility hidden within it. Looking at this roof more closely this evening, the beauty of it became apparent all the more, as images of patterns found on Iranian Nain rugs and the ceilings of Mosques sprang to mind.
As serendipity would have it, a Muslim gentleman opened conversation and showed some pictures of a Mosque his family had built recently in Kenya, in memory of his father, who passed away ten years ago.
