Lincoln's Sparrow at Blacks Creek Reservoir near Boise, Idaho
"John James Audubon named the Lincoln's Sparrow after his travel companion Thomas Lincoln, who accompanied him on an expedition to the coast of Labrador. The expedition found the sparrow in a valley in Natashquan, Quebec, and Mr. Lincoln was the only person who managed to bring back a specimen for study."
I had to return pretty late to get this shot with no people . It was terribly cold. The reflecting pool behind us was frozen enough to stand on.
The Lincoln Grand Prix is an elite cycling event held annually in the city of Lincoln, the route takes cyclist out of Lincoln and through the village of Burton before heading back to the city and up the famous Michaelgate climb and into Castle Square.
Taken well after sunset on a rather cold evening a couple of months back. The camera chose a very cool white balance, and I sorta liked it so I didn't change it when editing this shot...
I'm heading to the coast for the weekend, and thought I would post one from my last trip just for fun :)

“Considered to be one of the finest examples of gothic architecture in Europe, Lincoln Cathedral is the city’s most iconic landmark. Standing tall for almost a thousand years, the Cathedral serves as a beacon of hope for visitors from across the globe.
Towering over the city since 1092, Lincoln Cathedral was once the tallest building in the world. Although it may not hold that title anymore, it is still one of the most important. The building was described by Victorian writer John Ruskin as “out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have”.”
I hope I am correct with identifying this little sparrow, as there are so many varieties of them.
Thanks for visiting, and have a wonderful week my friends.

a rather eventful evening in Lincoln, I had been out with colleagues, on returning two the hotel I grabbed my camera and popped out for 5 minutes to grab a few photos of the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral before retiring to bed. An hour later my sleep was abruptly disturbed by the sounding fire alarm, and the building was evacuated as a precaution. we were allowed to return to our rooms after a few minutes.
