Ten minutes before I took this shot it had been pouring down with rain and approximately 25 minutes after taking it the rain came tumbling down, again!!
Today's catch of sunshine will be probably be more than I will manage tomorrow as our forecast is for rain all day thanks to the latest weather warning of Storm Bert, arriving!!

This mornings walk on the beach saw some more ferocious waves crashing on the shoreline. I decided to capture this over 4 minutes to reflect a feeling of calm on an intense scene..... an 'actual' shot to be posted later... watch this space! :)
Also thankful the gull kindly sat there for the 4 minutes!
Another trip to Leighton moss to try and get the beardies on the reeds but we never saw any only heard them, just missing them by minutes it seems. We did see the otter at distance it was very active
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
after twenty minutes of imprecations for the thorns that were killing me, the young gentleman here finally decided to show himself for a couple of seconds.
(Actually I don't know if it's a male or a female)
With an incredible stroke of luck he settled on those twigs in the shape of a heart (at least I see a heart)
More than 30 minutes after the sun has set below the hidden horizon, the sky is on fire with the dim afterburn of an amazing sunset in Death Valley National Park. The 30 second exposure in the growing darkness exposes the flow of the clouds above with blurred movement. This patch of clouds was lenticular in nature. Clouds would spawn along the northern edge and traverse to the southwest before vanishing at the southern edge while the overall band stayed put. These clouds were the ideal type to show off all a sunset can offer, being high in the sky and with a wonderfully textured underside. And wow did they show off the sunset this night. After initially lighting up with a momentary blaze of color, the sunset faded to grey and then the afterburn kicked in regaining the clouds their glow, albeit dimly, for nearly the next hour until no more light was left. I was continually amazed by what my camera was seeing in the dim light. Here a brine pool on the salt flats south of Badwater appears like a pool of molten lava as it reflects the intense colors above, surrounded by rock-hard mud and salt akin to the area around the Devil’s Golf Course. The surface of the water was interrupted by tiny green plants and even some insects that seemed to thrive in the tiny environment, a rarity in the usually inhospitable salt flats here. Afterburner sunsets are my favorite, as the red light lasts until there is no more light at all.
Only 45 minutes from the main island of Venice, Burano is often mixed up (by tourists) with Murano, famous for its glassware.
The crowd is practically non-existent - no jostling, and its big enough that you won't run into any big tourist groups. I'm guessing this is because it takes a little longer to get here.
The colors are amazing, and there are some pretty good restaurants.
Definitely on the "once in a lifetime" list.

Possibly slightly abstract-ish, but I do have a thing for doorways...
Taken with Hasselblad 501cm and 80mm Planar f2.8 *t CB lens, on Kodak Tri-X 400 at 400asa and developed in Ilford ID-11 (1+1) for 10 minutes at 20°c. Digitised on Epson v550 and SilverFast®8 (SE) software at 3200ppi.
10 minutes before sunrise, the sky to the east was ablaze in vibrant reds, purples and yellows. To the west, towards the divide, the sky was just waking up.
about 20 minutes west of bassano.
it had been raining for the last hour of driving, and i was finally getting out of it. i took a turn down a gravel road, and stopped to stretch. the clouds were breaking up in that way that i'd so often seen them do as a kid.
when you grow up on the prairies, there's two things that always catch your attention, the horizon and the sky. they're both always there, and never subtle.
you grow up knowing the grand sweep of the horizon, the vast broad strokes of sky - the way they embrace each other, holding secrets between them as if the best of friends.
i took a few pictures. the wind was steady, not quite chilled, but not quite warm either. the sheer solitude of where i had stopped was something almost tangible. sometimes, a person needs this sort of quiet.
The sun broke through a small hole in the clouds and lit up the mountainside... It was just five minutes after the Canyon Morning image and the lighting could hardly have been changing faster.... I was scrambling around trying to get just a few of the shots available....
Some minutes before the sun went down behind the moutains covering the landscape partly in an amazing light... In the background you can see Steinsberg Castle, a ruined castle in the former municipality of Ardez.

The New Brighton clock tower (outside the library) is five minutes fast. It was 11:35am on my camera and that is currently out from the atomic clock time by 15 seconds.

I can do a bunch of different stuff in 8 minutes. I can run a mile. Brew a pot of coffee (and maybe pour a cup). Make breakfast and lunch for the day. Iron a shirt. Type about uhhh, 560 words. This exposure is 8 minutes long, during which time I did absolutely nothing but watch the light fade, the water move and these clouds march along above me. I'm ok with that.
Minutes after the passage of a rainy thunder storm, the City of Los Angeles steam special awaits departure from Salt Lake City, Utah for Ogden, Green River, and Cheyenne.
I took this image (stack of images, actually) prior to the Star Circle Academy Workshop in Lone Pine, California. It is hard to resist the colorful eroded rock formations in Red Rock Canyon State Park, just off the road on Highway 14.
The cliff face was lit by late night truckers and a tiny dollop of a crescent moon. This is the south face of the eastern portion of Red Rock Canyon, State Park.
Per the tags: this is 34 six-minute exposures so a total of 3 hours, 24 minutes.
To see how I created this, see the tutorial.

40 minutes (4 10min) of exposure. William Optics RedCat with Canon 60D modified. Near Amboy Crater, CA.
Staying 10 minutes walk from here so rude not to revisit.
Wanted a bit of a different take on this and found this large tree trunk to give some foreground interest.
Sunset was killed by a large black rain cloud and then got drenched about 2 minutes after this.
ISO 100 30 second exposure with Lee 0.9ND grad filter.
had 15 minutes to wait for the takeaway, so took a few pics.
coming to the end of these soon, i promise :-)
Imriel was out chopping wood for the fire this morning... after 10 minutes the whooping and cheering started, and when he looked towards the hollering he saw 22 girls fighting for a place at the windows ;) haha

I can't believe it took me this long to give Imriel a fur wig - I've always liked this look but i also liked his longer-on-one-side hair do. Now he still has that style and he's sooo much sexier in fur <3 The girls are going wild!
I've also changed him back to his stock body from the obitsu, and i'd like to get him customised this year (hopefully by Sheryl)
The shadows are getting long and there's only perhaps 30 minutes of daylight left as passengers alight from their Cog Railway train on the "roof of New England", the summit of Mt. Washington. The crew of the locomotive is already on the ground with the ball-peen hammer and the grease gun, tap-testing and greasing all of the moving parts. The parking location for the locomotive looks precarious, but the crew assures me that the ratchet is in place and it's not going anywhere. In recent years, the platform up here has been substantially rebuilt. It now has two, long, parallel tracks, enabling multiple trains to arrive and park simultaneously. A hydraulically-actuated, transfer-table-style switch, just out of view on the left, switches trains between the two tracks. Diesel trains typically discharge passengers, pick up new load of folks who have finished their visit, and then immediately head down the mountain. Steamers typically park here, and wait as their passengers enjoy their time on the summit.
This image was captured on the observation deck of the Sherman Adams Summit Building, home of the famous Mt. Washington Weather Observatory. Speaking of the weather, the conditions in this photo are about as nice as it ever gets up here. The temperature is in the low 60s and the wind is about 5 knots. It's a perfect evening to enjoy the incredible views.....just keep that sweater or jacket handy, for as the sun takes a plunge, so will the temperature!
A Bone Chilling several minutes on the Beach at Dungeness, as the "Beast from the East", starts to get going.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
Minutes before the sun sets at River Spree in Berlin. Looking through the Reichstag building and Paul-Löbe-Haus.
Twilight: that magical 15 minutes in the morning before sunrise and evening after sunset when the sky lit up and Frank and I ran around like crazy people to try and get a good image or two. : ) Our favourite time of each day that we spent in this magical place.
White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA.
Back in October, I took a trip to White Sands National Park in New Mexico, USA with my Flickr friend (and real friend!) Frank Loose. You can say all kinds of horrible things about social media - and you'd be right - but it can (and Flickr, in particular, can) be an amazing way to connect you with people with shared interests. Frank and I connected over ten years ago on Flickr and have become fast friends since then. We've been talking for years about doing a photo trip together and we finally did it in October this year when we travelled to New Mexico to photograph White Sands. If you'd like to read about our trip, you're welcome to check out my blog post about it.
White Sands National Park covers about a third of a huge dunefield between the San Andres and Sacramento Mountains in southern New Mexico. White Sands is a bit of a misnomer, as the dunes are actually made of gypsum, not sand, and though they are white in bright sunshine they can take on some amazing colours – from beige to pink to blue – depending on the light conditions. Frank and I photographed the dunes over four days of morning and evening visits and really came to love this magical place. I hope you enjoy this series of images (and do check out Frank’s beautiful work as well!).
If you'd like to see the whole series, in the order they are meant to be seen, take a look at my White Sands Album. If you prefer, you can just look at the colour images or just at the more experimental black and white images.
Five minutes after sunset at the mouth of the Russian River, Jenner, California.
Thanks, as always, for your visit and all of your support. Have a great week ahead! We are up on the Sonoma Coast for a few days, will catch up and post as time permits.

The Waikanae River Estuary - 75 minutes to the north of Wellington and things got off to a good start: there was one lone Royal Spoonbill standing in the midst of the small lagoon near the road...!
However... I've never seen a Spoonbill with such long feathers on the back of his (or her!) neck, or with such yellow eyes; this Bird's body colours also seemed a more pronounced...!
A bit of research upon arriving home provided the answer: the bird was in Breeding Colours - a "first" for me...!
Unfortunately for him however, he picked the wrong body of water to look for a Mate cause apart from a family of Paradise Shelducks, there was no-one else in sight...! If he hasn't already done so, I hope he'll find his Beloved before too long...!
If you have time and want to read up on the Royal Spoonbill, have a look at:
nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/royal-spoonbill
Oh and be warned: there was a lovely variety of birds in and around the Estuary today, so you will be fed a diet of Birds for the next little while! :-))
Thanks for visiting my Site Folks, and thanks especially for taking the time and trouble to leave a Comment; it's always nice to hear from you...!

45 minutes before this picture was taken it was pouring with heavy rain with very low heavy cloud. The forecast was for heavy rain all day, luckily I ignored it as it was a glorious afternoon and evening.
Licca sending her greetings from the periphery of the polar night. Daylight time is at the moment officially 4h 10 minutes here, but in reality it's just more or less dark all the time. :)
