The nights are drawing in now that autumn is here meaning that I rarely get the chance to go out with my camera during daylight hours!
I came to Stanley Ferry Marina because I wanted to try and capture some of the lovely reflections on the clear, still water.
This is the final image from that night (I took quite a few but most were rubbish!) and I think it's my favourite.
It's looking towards the road bridge that goes over the canal at Stanley.
I was standing in quite a precarious position, right on the edge of the water, so I had to be very careful not to drop my camera in or fall in myself!
I liked the colours - the green/yellow grass and the different shades of blue in the sky and the boats etc; they all seemed to contrast each other and work together.
Been meaning to try one of these in Brecon or the beach for agers now just havent had the opportunity yet with conditions and work :/ hopefully soon! But i liked the way this one worked out the street lights in front of my house lit up the trees just enough, this was taken for about 2-3 hours i think.
Sorry I have been a bit lacking in comments last week hoping to have a good catch up on recent images now.

On Love
"The demand to be safe in relationship inevitably breeds sorrow and fear. This seeking for security is inviting insecurity. Have you ever found security in any of your relationships? Have you? Most of us want the security of loving and being loved, but is there love when each one of us is seeking his own security, his own particular path? We are not loved because we don’t know how to love.
Love is something that is new, fresh, alive. It has no yesterday and no tomorrow. It is beyond the turmoil of thought. It is only the innocent mind which knows what love is, and the innocent mind can live in the world which is not innocent. To find this extraordinary thing which man has sought endlessly through sacrifice, through worship, through relationship, through sex, through every form of pleasure and pain, is only possible when thought comes to understand itself and comes naturally to an end. Then love has no opposite, then love has no conflict."

We all try to hold onto what we have. I guess the fear is that we will forget its value or importance.
Strength can be many things.

Meaning of escalavrado:
Which has escalated; who suffered any abrasion or scratch; scratched, bruised: scraped knee.
Able to cause destruction, ruin: lung scarred by tobacco.
Which was destroyed, speaking of wall cladding; scratched, hit.
I've been meaning for some time now, to try an idea I had in my head
Not ICM but a slow shutter speed to capture the swooping sea birds.
It turned out not to be as easy as I thought. In order to get the right shutter speed, I needed to use the Little Stopper, which then made viewing the said bird, a little more difficult
Multiple captures later, not exactly what I had a vision of but I quite liked this one
I've had a play around with the colour
My intention was to try and produce a dreamy feel but also show the movement of their wings
Cushendun (from Irish Cois Abhann Duinne, meaning 'beside the River Dun') is a small coastal village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It sits off the A2 coast road between Cushendall and Ballycastle. It has a sheltered harbour and lies at the mouth of the River Dun and Glendun, one of the nine Glens of Antrim. The Mull of Kintyre in Scotland is only about 15 miles away across the North Channel and can be seen easily on clear days. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 138 people.
It is part of Causeway Coast and Glens district.
The nearby hamlet of Knocknacarry is located approximately 0.6 miles to the west.
Cushendun village, was designed for Ronald McNeill, the Conservative MP and author later Lord Cushendun in the style of a Cornish village by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis. He is buried in the Church of Ireland graveyard near his nationalist cousin Ada or Ide McNeill, Roger Casement's friend and admirer who died in 1959.
Since 1954 most of the village and the parkland around Glenmona to the north has been owned by the National Trust. Cushendun's picturesque coastal setting in the heart of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, together with its architectural inheritance, resulted in designation as a Conservation area in 1980.
The nearby caves of Cushendun have been used as backdrop in the series Game of Thrones.

Another orchid I photographed in Costa Rica is in the first comment section – Huntleya burtii.
Oncidium, abbreviated as Onc. in the horticultural trade, is a genus that contains about 330 species of orchids from the subtribe Oncidiinae of the orchid family (Orchidaceae). As presently conceived (May 2014), it is distributed across much of South America, Central America, Mexico and the West Indies, with one species (O. ensatum) extending into Florida. Common names for plants in this genus include dancing-lady orchid and golden shower orchid.
This genus was first described by Olof Swartz in 1800 with the orchid Oncidium altissimum, which has become the type species. Its name is derived from the Greek word ὀγκος, onkos, meaning "swelling". This refers to the callus at the lower lip.
Most species in the genus are epiphytes (growing on other plants), although some are lithophytes (growing on rocks) or terrestrials (growing in soil). They are widespread from northern Mexico, the Caribbean, and some parts of South Florida to South America. They usually occur in seasonally dry areas. - Wikipedia
Pamukkale, Akköy, Denizli/Türkiye
Meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish, is a natural site and attraction in south-western Turkey in the Denizli Province. The ancient city of Hierapolis was built on top of the white “castle” which is in total about 2700 meters long and 160m high.
Pamukkale is located in Turkey’s Inner Aegean region, in the River Menderes valley, which enjoys a temperate climate over the greater part of the year.
The tectonic movements that took place in the fault depression of the Menderes river basin did not only cause frequent earthquakes, but also gave rise to the emergence of a number of very hot springs, and it is the water from one of these springs, with its large mineral content that created Pamukkale.
The water contains large amounts of hydrogen carbonate and calcium, which leads to the precipitation of calcium bi-carbonate. The effect of this natural phenomenon leaves thick white layers of limestone and travertine cascading down the mountain slope resembling a frozen waterfall.

Alderlea, meaning meadow of Alder trees, was constructed circa 1867 for Kenneth Chisholm, businessman, political figure and son-in-law of John Elliott, a founding father of Brampton.
Designed as an Italianate villa, Alderlea is one of Ontario’s finest examples of this architectural style. The original grandeur of the estate included a large front lawn and garden, which is now Gage Park, Brampton’s first municipal park.

* Monument Valley, meaning valley of the rocks in Navajo, is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. It is located on the Arizona–Utah state line (around 36°59′N 110°6′WCoordinates: 36°59′N 110°6′W), near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the territory of the Navajo Nation Reservation and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his best-known films and thus, in the words of critic Keith Phipps, "its five square miles [13 square kilometers] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West."
Kata Tjuṯa (meaning "many heads") is a group of large, domed rock formations or bornhardts located about 360 km southwest of Alice Springs, in the southern part of the Northern Territory, central Australia. Uluṟu, located 25 km to the east, and Kata Tjuṯa form the two major landmarks within the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. The park is considered sacred to the Aboriginal people of Australia.
The 36 domes that make up Kata Tjuṯa cover an area of 21.68 km2 and are composed of conglomerate, a sedimentary rock consisting of cobbles and boulders of varying rock types including granite and basalt, cemented by a matrix of coarse sandstone. The highest dome, Mount Olga, is 1,066 m above sea level, or approximately 546 m above the surrounding plain (198 m higher than Uluṟu).
There are many Pitjantjatjara Dreamtime legends associated with this place and indeed everything in the vicinity including Uluṟu. A number of legends surround the great snake king Wanambi, who is said to live on the summit of Kata Tjuṯa and only comes down during the dry season. His breath was said to be able to transform a breeze into a hurricane in order to punish those who did evil deeds. The majority of mythology surrounding the site is not disclosed to outsiders, and in particular, women. The Anangu people believe the great rocks of Kata Tjuṯa are homes to spirit energy from the 'Dreaming', and since 1995 the site is being used once again for cultural ceremonies. (Wikipedia)

Another learning - there is more than one large rock in the centre of Australia. We had a very informative tour around Kata Tjuta that included a children's version of the snake king legend.

A blooming gift and its meaning
They say a look is worth a thousand words. It's the same with flowers. Give flowers to communicate without words!
Chrysanthemums are a special highlight in the bouquet. In floriography, the colorful flowers represent happiness and freshness.
But when these flowers come in such a fiery red, they represent love. ❤️
Die feuerrote Blume (Chrysanthemum x hortorum 'Brennpunkt')
Ein blühendes Geschenk und seine Bedeutung
Man sagt, Blicke sagen mehr als tausend Worte. Mit Blumen ist das ähnlich.
Man schenke Blumen, um ohne Worte miteinander zu kommunizieren!
Chrysanthemen sind ein besonderes Highlight im Blumenstrauß. Die farbenfrohen Blüten stehen in der Floriographie für Fröhlichkeit und Frische.
Kommen diese Blüten aber in einem so feurigen Rot daher, verdeutlichen sie Liebe. ❤️

I have been meaning to shoot light trails at the Rowena Crest Overlook in the Columbia River Gorge for some time. The drive up there is part of the historic Route 30, one part that has remained in tact. The overlook lets you gaze down on these interesting braids of street that twist and turn up the and down the mountainside. This situation just begs for a light trail image. So I put my dog in the car and set out. It was cold, I knew it would be so I was ready. I had fleece lined jeans, a think down coat, gloves and a beanie. Got up there long before sunset, set up, and ready to go. As it got darker, I grabbed a few frames of the sky. Not much a sunset that night but no mind, the main attraction was the street. So excited. Ok, its dark enough now, so lets GO! Hum. One problem. You need cars to get light trails. Wait, you mean no one takes a scenic drive on a twisty road that really goes nowhere on a freezing Tuesday night? Hum. 15 minutes go by, then half an hour. Ok, this is ridiculous. I was alone so I could not drive my own trails. Roosevelt, the dog, is good, but I don't think he can drive or trigger a bulb exposure. I asked him. Blank stare. Hum. Well, what can I but wait. Finally after waiting about an hour and twenty minutes I get two cars, right on top of each other. So this image is not 30 frames of light trails blended. Nope, this is one image for the trails anyway. I was not about to wait any more in that bitter cold. All in all I was pleased. Good thing the settings worked!
Enjoy, let me know what you think.
Poldhu, meaning ‘black pool’ in Cornish, is an unspoilt, sheltered and sandy beach on the west coast of the Lizard peninsula. A favourite amongst locals and visitors to the area, the beach offers a surf school and cafe as well as dunes and reedbeds rich in wildlife.
Poldhu is perhaps best known for being the site of Guglielmo Marconi's first transatlantic radio message in 1901. A monument and a museum are dedicated to his work at Poldhu Point. The building at the end of the headland was originally the Poldhu Hotel, built to house the workers at the wireless station. It is currently a care home.
Kousanji (高山寺 meaning "high mountain temple") is a Buddhist temple of Shingon sect (真言宗) located in Ogawa village northeast of Miasa. As the name suggests, it is situated near a ridge that commands a good view of Kita Alps.
Akamatsu (Japanese red pine, Pinus densiflora) is native to Japan, Korea, Northeast China and Russian Far East. It is often planted in Japanese gardens. Akamatsu grows in sunny mountainous areas in contrast to Kuromatsu (Japanese black pine, Pinus thunbergii) that grows in coastal areas of Japan and Korea. These pine trees are an important element for forming the landscapes in Japan.
Pine trees are popular Bonsai trees.
Dragonflies:-
Dragonflies are insects in the sub-order Anisoptera (meaning "unequal-winged"). Hind wings are usually shorter and broader than forewings. They are usually large, strongly flying insects that can often be found flying well away from water. When at rest, they hold their wings out from the body, often at right angles to it. The eyes are very large and usually touch, at least at a point. The larvae have no external lamellae (gill plates).
In Great Britain and Ireland there are about 30 species that may be encountered and one that has become extinct. These species fall into 5 families and 14 genera.

Alderlea, meaning meadow of Alder trees, was constructed circa 1867 for Kenneth Chisholm, businessman, political figure and son-in-law of John Elliott, a founding father of Brampton.
Designed as an Italianate villa, Alderlea is one of Ontario’s finest examples of this architectural style. The original grandeur of the estate included a large front lawn and garden, which is now Gage Park, Brampton’s first municipal park.
Following the economic depression of the 1890s, the grounds of Alderlea and the adjacent Elliott estate were put up for sale. In 1944, the Royal Canadian Legion purchased Alderlea, which they expanded in 1947 with a two-storey addition called “Memorial Hall” to accommodate soldiers returning home from service in World War II. The City of Brampton purchased Alderlea as part of its sesquicentennial. The rejuvenation began in 2010, and involved selective demolition, heritage restoration, adaptive reuse, and a 164
Camera obscura (plural camera obscura or camerae obscurae from Latin, meaning "dark room": camera "(vaulted) chamber or room," and obscura "darkened, dark"), also referred to as pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen, as a reversed and inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to be relatively dark for the image to be clear, so many historical camera obscura experiments were performed in dark rooms.
The term "camera obscura" also refers to constructions or devices that make use of the principle within a box, tent or room. Camerae obscurae with a lens in the opening have been used since the second half of the 16th century and became popular as an aid for drawing and painting. The camera obscura box was developed further into the photographic camera in the first half of the 19th century when camera obscura boxes were used to expose light-sensitive materials to the projected image.
The camera obscura was used as a means to study eclipses, without the risk of damaging the eyes by looking into the sun directly. As a drawing aid, the camera obscura allowed tracing the projected image to produce a highly accurate representation, especially appreciated as an easy way to achieve a proper graphical perspective.
A camera obscura device without a lens but with a very small hole is sometimes referred to as a "pinhole camera", although this more often refers to simple (home-made) lens-less cameras in which photographic film or photographic paper is used.
The earliest known written record of the camera obscura is to be found in Chinese writings called Mozi and dated to the 4th century BCE, traditionally ascribed to and named for Mozi (circa 470 BCE-circa 391 BCE), a Han Chinese philosopher and the founder of Mohist School of Logic. In these writings it is explained how the inverted image in a "collecting-point" or "treasure house" is inverted by an intersecting point (a pinhole) that collected the (rays of) light.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE), or possibly a follower of his ideas, touched upon the subject in the work Problems - Book XV, asking:
"Why is it that when the sun passes through quadri-laterals, as for instance in wickerwork, it does not produce a figure rectangular in shape but circular?”
and further on:
“Why is it that an eclipse of the sun, if one looks at it through a sieve or through leaves, such as a plane-tree or other broadleaved tree, or if one joins the fingers of one hand over the fingers of the other, the rays are crescent-shaped where they reach the earth? Is it for the same reason as that when light shines through a rectangular peep-hole, it appears circular in the form of a cone?"
Many philosophers and scientists of the Western world would ponder this question before it became accepted that the circular and crescent-shapes described in this "problem" were actually pinhole image projections of the sun. Although a projected image will have the shape of the aperture when the light source, aperture and projection plane are close together, the projected image will have the shape of the light source when they are further apart.
Shui Mo, meaning "ink" in Chinese, is an art gallery and a series of installations called the "Shui Mo series" created by FionaFei in the style of Chinese ink brush painting, depicting a common theme or landscape seen in many traditional Chinese paintings.
Polperro (Cornish: Porthpyra meaning Pyra's cove) is a village and fishing harbour on the south-east Cornwall coast in the south west of England..
Polperro, through which runs the River Pol, is 7 miles (11 km) east of Fowey and 4 miles (6 km) west of the neighbouring town of Looe and 25 miles (40 km) west of the major city and naval port of Plymouth. It is a noted tourist destination, particularly in the summer months, for its idyllic appearance with tightly-packed ancient fishermen's houses which survive almost untouched, its quaint harbour and attractive coastline.(Wikipedia)
