Spent half an hour watching this Otter hunt amongst the seaweed on the loch edge. He/she managed to catch something on almost every attempt.
This shot is taken as he/she walked past us on the way to the holt, we didn't realise that in following the otter we had ended up near to it, so made sure we cleared off to let the otter snooze and digest all that fish in peace.
Taken on the Isle of Mull.
A Caspian tern's mission accomplished. Taken a few years back. A bit soft.
Thank you so much for the clicks and comments. They are sincerely appreciated!
In June of 1987, my father and I set sail on a voyage to the Colorado narrow gauge country. Our main objective was to catch Durango & Silverton's restoration to service a Rio Grande K-37 locomotive, the only one active on the planet. We arrived in Durango mid-day on June 5th, and drove northward on US 550, hoping to catch it. Boom, there she was in the Animas River Valley, coal smoke drifting into the clear mountain air. My dad was smiling wide.

While a mission was founded in 1854 in this location, the brick church was constructed in 1891. The 58 murals were painted by a self taught Italian Jesuit. The structure is undergoing renovation.
Given the numerous lighting sources: sunlight, florescent and incandescent, it was quite a challenge to process this image. Luckily, sliders came to the rescue!
Happy Slider Sunday!
CP 7308 pulls into Manhattan with the CP geometry train while NS 4708 sits dead on the BH-45 local. I had received word the day before of the geo train's run on the SWS and the Rock, and my original intention was to shoot it on the Rock. After hearing that it wouldn't be until extremely late at night, I decided to try shooting it at Manhattan, just in case the BH-45 was sitting there so I could shoot the geo train passing it. Well the planets aligned tonight and the BH-45 was sitting waiting for a new crew. The result is a scene I NEVER thought I would see. 3/28/16

Car fire in Peachland this afternoon turned into a forest fire turned into a closed highway and a trail of water bombers and helicopters passing over our house every 30 minutes. Since the highway was closed I decided it would be a great time to visit the mountain goats and see how they were holding up in our heat wave. Turns out it didn't bother them because they were all nude.
Mission 2.0 part 2 Mission Log/ Me and my squad moved from the country side to the one of the few villages on Dantooine. We questioned many of the villagers that lived there and we got no answers where the Seppies were located which frustrated us quite a bit. Until we met the leader of the village. His child was looking at something in the field of crops something robotic and waiting to attack. Next thing we knew he was the village leader laying in the dirt with a blaster bolt to the heart… Next thing we knew we were getting ambushed by the clankas and our main goal was to defend the village innocents from these things and there deadly explosives…
Update: Hey guys it’s been awhile since I’ve come out with a build but here we are! I’ll explain so originally I was waiting on a BrickLink order…. It still hasn’t come in cuz I was gonna do a net technique with some of the new 1 by 1 curved tiles that look like teeth haha. So instead I decided to make a pretty basic roof that gets the point across with some brown as accent last minute addition as well… Another thing as well is that I was having builders block with what direction I wanted the building going it took me quite a while as I redesigned the build entirely a few different times as I do lol. Not to mention I tried some different techniques for the walls as well as a bit of greebles as well as the giant fan, some peeps notice I was using sand blue mudguards and I thought that was funny addition as that wasn’t the intention haha! Anyway I hope y’all enjoy and leave a comment if you love it, hate it and or have questions or ect!

This is part of the ruins of the Franciscan church at Mission San José de Tumacácori.
Father Kino founded the mission in January 1691, it is the oldest mission site in Arizona.
After spending the morning and noon at Carmel, it was time to set off for Big Sur, and the iconic landmark, Bixby Bridge.

She is a beautiful church. Limestone is a tough medium to maintain, but the work of history is holding its own, with the help of the National Park Service. Thanks for World Heritage Sites and the people who saved the places before that.
The Mission Mountains make an outstanding backdrop for the westbound night gas. While it had been raining when they left Missoula the weather would clear up by the time they reached Paradise.
Mission Concepción
San Antonio, Texas
The full name of the mission is Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de Acuña. The name honors Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and Juan de Acuña, a nobleman who was the Viceroy of New Spain when the mission was established at its current site in 1731. Of the several San Antonio missions managed by the National Park Service, Mission Concepción is closest to its original condition. According to the NPS, the mission "appears very much as it did over two centuries ago. Due to the fact that it was built directly on bedrock, it never lost its roof, or its integrity."
Mission Espada is a historic Spanish mission in San Antonio, TX. I spent a few days in San Antonio last week and was able to photograph this mission and several others. From nomadicpursuits.com/
Started on December 24 during Julian's birthday party, Mission 53 is a future composition of Julian Ray's upcoming album 'Argonauts of Kosmos'. It was a spontaneous thing as I did this artwork to mark his 53rd birthday. Happy birthday, Julian!!! :-) ...and it turned out that this image will be filled with cosmic music content after all :-)
To fulfill his Mission 53, Julian is going to release in the new year a couple of albums with cosmic music as well as the New Age/Lounge album called 'In Flow Of Light', which is almost ready and be released in January 2010.
You are welcome to listen one of the composition from the upcoming 'In Flow Of Light' called 'Silence' here, one of my favourites.
To listen more his music you may visit Julian's page.
Happy listening and happy New Year!!!
Mission Espada (formally Mission San Francisco de la Espada), is the southernmost and oldest mission in the area of what is now San Antonio, Texas. It was a Roman Rite Catholic mission established in 1690 to convert the local Nabedache Indians to Christianity. The Spanish also brought along a smallpox epidemic, which resulted in an estimated 3300 deaths in that area, and also resulted in the native people becoming hostile. The mission was abandoned and reestablished a number of times over the years, but there was little success in converting the Indians. This is some of the ruins of the mission walls. More at wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Francisco_de_la_Espada).
Sigh, everyone has gone home, Kerri left yesterday but my head is full of happy memories. We had 3 drizzle days and 3 warm sunny days so the first dark day we went to Riverside to show Kerri the historic Mission Inn. Doug has been several times and wanted Kerri to see it too. This is my favorite of the few photos I took - it's so photogenic you have to restrain yourself.

Finding the cavern was the easy part. The rest of the mission was a bigger challenge. The CIS base was crawling with clankers, and we had to be extremely cautious. We could not afford to be seen. As we neared the entrance we saw just how many STAPs the Seppies had. It was a lot. Our mission was to blow this to kingdom come.
We entered the cave system and quickly looked for their fuel storage. After minutes, which seemed like hours, we made it there.
I had the charges ready and the rest of the boys stood guard. Just as I was going to place the detonators, a squad of B2s clanked their way above us, and I was sure we would have to blow the place with us still inside. Luckily they turned down another corridor.
Trigger: Alright boys, the charges are set and we need to go now!
Grasper: Sir, there is an unused tunnel leading outside. It's secluded and takes us straight toward our relay point.
Trigger: I see it! 5 clicks north.
We trekked through the tunnel as fast as we could. The squad exited the tunnel just as the orders from command came in:
Command: Alright boys light it up!
Trigger: Would be my honor sir!
With that we blew the fuel storage. You should've seen the fireworks! Mission accomplished! CIS base destroyed. Trigger out.
