Perched on rugged rocks in the heart of Mercantour National Park, this mountain goat stands watch over the valley below. Its presence adds life and character to the dramatic alpine landscape, where jagged peaks rise into the mist and sunlight dances across stone and grass. A fleeting moment of connection with the wild—graceful, resilient, and timeless.
Sorting through last years images when I stumbled across this shot of Ullswater in the Lake district, time I gave it a little share me thinks.
Bangladesh is bestowed with an ample amount of places to explore. From beautiful natural sites to historical places, the country has much to offer for a pleasing and learning experience.
Among the eye-catching places, the most remote and least populated Bandarban is a popular destination for its adventurous, distinctive and scenic landscape. The beauty of its forests, numerous waterfalls, tallest peaks and lifestyles of 15 different ethnic groups attract tourists from both home and abroad. One must visit Bandarban at least once!

A beautiful, stark scene I came across this time last year. The whole day was characterised by an extremely low cloud base, which helped isolate subjects without the distraction of a huge landscape behind it.
I'm really getting into black and white conversions recently and really enjoy the vastly different workflow and method of processing.
Une petite bâtisse de pierre, vestige discret de la campagne, se dresse face à un ciel menaçant. Les verts saturés des prairies contrastent avec les nuages lourds d’orage, créant une tension visuelle qui raconte la force tranquille du monde rural. Entre la rusticité des matériaux, la modernité des outils agricoles laissés au repos et la nature environnante, la photo capte ce mélange de permanence et de fragilité qui définit la vie à la campagne.
A quiet lakeside scene where autumn’s golden hues embrace the landscape. The summer boat now rests upside down, waiting for another season to begin. The calm water mirrors the stillness of nature preparing for winter.
Fun fact:
Deciduous trees like oak and birch change color because chlorophyll breaks down as temperatures drop, revealing yellow, orange, and red pigments that were always hidden within the leaves.

The ancient stones and weathered gravestones seem to stand timeless against the fiery sky, a reminder of centuries of history watching over the rugged coast. Captured with a Samsung S25 Ultra
My goodness .......... we have had all weather thrown at us in the valley ......... hurry up summer!

Wildfire smoke drifted into the area, creating hazy skies and poor air quality. The usual vibrant colors of Moraine Lake were muted, but it gave a whole new mood perfect for black-and-white photography. - Moraine Lake, Banff National Park, Canada (2017)
A lone cyclist disappears into the morning fog, swallowed by a tunnel of green. The quiet hum of tires on gravel fades into the stillness of the forest, where every leaf holds the weight of dew and silence.
The second location of day two and what a location, despite being limited in time the location and the buildings at Wheal Coates would allow you to spend a whole day or night here and probally still not capture the location to its fullest,
Here is some additional background information about this location ///allow.prickly.pampering
Wheal Coates is a former tin mine situated on the north coast of Cornwall, UK, on the cliff tops between Porthtowan and St Agnes. It is preserved and maintained by the National Trust.
History
Earliest records indicate a mine at the site since 1692. The present mine opened in 1802 and was closed in 1889 when the price of tin fell. It came into full production in 1815. Flooding and bringing ore to the surface were the main problems of the mine until steam-driven equipment was available, as the mine's underground operations extended for some distance under the sea. The mine was sold in 1844 and thereafter allowed to flood. A new owner reopened the mine in 1872 but work was sporadic until its 1889 closure. For some years, the yield was 20lb of tin per ton of ore. In 1906, new ownership hoped to work the mine for both tin and copper. Wheal Coates had produced a small amount of copper ore, more than a century earlier.
At the height of its production, 140 people were employed at the site to mine a seam of tin just below sea level but this and a subsequent period of operation from 1911-1913 were not very successful because tin production was sporadic. The mine was closed for good in 1914.
Present day
The surviving buildings date from the 1870s when deep underground mining began at the site and were stabilised and preserved in 1986. There are three engine houses that formerly housed Cornish engines. Towanroath Pumping Engine House (1872) was used to pump water from the adjacent 600 ft Towanroath shaft. There are two Whim engine houses which were used to crush ore for processing. "Old Whim" was built in the mid-19th century, while "New Whim" was built in the late 19th century. A calciner dating from 1910–1913 when the mine was reopened, roasted the tin to remove impurities such as arsenic.
The surviving structures were all listed as Grade II buildings on 31 October 1988: The Stamps House, the chimney east of the New Whim engine house, the Old Whim and New Whim engine houses, the Towanroath engine house, and the calciner. Wheal Coates is part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.
By the way… Wheal is Cornish for ‘place of work’ or 'mine'.
