Jordan Lake, North Carolina, USA

While hunting for a composition, I came across this rocky area at Marshall Point. It looked like it had potential, so I examined it further from various perspectives. As in Risk Management, one hedges against the future hoping for the best outcome. And since it is always a crap shoot, we do our best to prepare as best we can.

 

The sunset may or may not arrive. But 80% of successful landscape photography is being there. After that, having a scenic landscape combined with sunset colours, help with the final result. The rest is in the form of technique and can be found on numerous YouTube videos.

The remains of "La Fonderie de l'Authion", near Angers, France. Established in 1955, this foundry of aluminium, which once employed up to 220 workers, used to produce pieces for the Car Industry (General Motors, Peugeot-Citroën, Renault, Volkswagen), and it didn't survive the "crisis" of 2008-2009.

I’ve just come back from shopping at Tesco’s, and I don’t know about you but I found it stressful! Shopping I ask you, stressful, good grief what is the world coming to. I’m at an age now where I’m at a higher risk of this virus being a one to miss, still the percentages of getting through it are very good but I’m taking no risks. A year ago I took this photo on my way down from Hart Crag, the mountain behind the rowan tree, obscured by clag. I had approached the mountain from Deepdale, deciding when I was in the hanging valley below Greenhow End, not to go up the step, a scramble up the crag to the summit plateau, a climb I had good experience of. I had weighed up the risk, it looked like bad weather on top with enough snow on the rocks to give it an edge, my balance is not what it was and I was solo. So I decided on an easier route, to head for the col between Dove Crag and Hart Crag and on to the summit, although I still felt the need to put my crampons on nearing the top. On the top it was a whiteout and I careful noted my route to the summit cairn. I was to follow it again on the way down as I intended to descend by Hartsop above How. The point of this story is that I knew what I was doing from many years in the mountains, understood my diminishing abilities in this terrain and managed my survival accordingly. However this virus is something different, I have no experience of this type of situation, don’t understand what we are dealing with, and relying on the advice of a government/leader (which I’m following to the letter) who I usually passionately disagree with. So outside of my enforced cocoon going shopping was very stressful. But there is always a bright side, during that hour I focused on the task in hand and anxiety for my far away children took a temporary backseat, I was in the same zone a year ago on that mountain.

Sun Valley, CA

3/4/17

 

WMmaster626, Alex Clemmans and I headed over to Waste Management Sun Valley to check out their fleet. Sun Valley recently received 2 new LNG Peterbilt Amreps that will most likely end up in Palmdale once Sun Valley receives their new CNG fleet. There were also thousands of new black dumpsters all over the Sun Valley yard that extended to where the Bradley Landfill once was active. The Sun Valley staff was great and even started up the Road Commander for us. Thank you WMmaster626, Alex Clemmans for a great day and special thanks to the friendly Waste Management staff at Sun Valley.

Leftover from the era of Big Timber, nearly 380,000 miles of roads riddle our forests. Unneeded and unmaintained roads are leading to a host of environmental problems.

Luton Airport - LTN/EGGW - 11/1/2014

When green herons are out in the open and feel stress they often raise their crests and flick their tails. I watched this guy for nearly twenty minutes as he kept trying and failing to grab his prey. After at least six failed attempts his stress and frustration were becoming apparent as the crest went up and the tail began flicking violently. He finally gave up and flew across the lake. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Quite possibly not my strongest suit... I was getting distracted by the flowers on the way down to the beach and only managed 4 shots before the sun disappeared behind the clouds on the horizon!
