Possibly the most photographed tree in Scotland? This was taken the evening before my Devil's Pulpit shot. I had finally arrived at the B&B but was pretty late and had the idea of trying to shoot this tree as it wasn't that far away. Unfortunately the weather was so good and it was a Saturday so there were families having evening meals and kids climbing over the roots so it wasn't until after the sun had set that I bagged a shot. The roots were nearly surrounded by water but not 100% hence the crop. I managed to drag more detail out of the shadows than I was expecting 9( credit to the Canon sensor in the R5) but purposely left it almost silhouetted as I thought it looked natural. I'm can't pretend it's in any way 'original' but never shot it before and, considering there wasn't a cloud in the sky I liked the early Blue Hour light.
Thanks for viewing.

Most mornings when I look out my window, I will see this guy sitting like this on the handrail of the deck, like some fuzzy little Buddha.
This photo is special because it has myself and the two people who are most important to me in Second Life -- Lydia (my mistress, owner, and bestie) and Mish (my pupper and all-around favorite brat!)
The two of them have meant so much to me and have been a support system I could lean on. Lydia helps me explore so much, teaches me, and keeps me grounded. Mish is the mischief side and keeps things light-hearted and fun, yet is always there when an ear is needed.
I always feel things happen for a reason and I think there was a reason the three of us ended up “together.”
Here’s to a great 2019 with these two! :)

CC Most Versatile - Try Something Different
CC Rainbow - Blue
I saw a video a few days ago that mentioned a camera setting that I hadn't noticed before. I set the camera profile to Monochrome and then went further into the menu to choose Blue Toning. I really liked what I saw on the LCD display. But when I downloaded the shots into Lightroom Classic I lost the blue toning, only got the monochrome. Apparently third party processors can't read all of the in-camera presets. I tried to mimic the effect using manual adjustments. So I did try something different, it just didn't work great! lol : )
It's this day again. I'm thinking about you Mom.....

For my late Mom ... She loved Lily of the Valley so much. I cannot visit her grave today literally, but somehow I'm there ...
Today, in Poland, people visit their loved ones graves, leave flowers, light candles... remember. It's a very precious tradition.

Thank you very much for your visits, kind comments and faves.
This week's theme is yellow. The color yellow is the color of joy, happiness and creativity. It is stimulating and associated with optimism, clarity of thought and intelligence. Yellow brings light and evokes optimism, energy and playfulness, among other things. Yellow is one of the most common colors among flowers and highlighters.
another of the ugly black rocks I found a long time ago, in a place far away! this is the most curious of the lot, with lots of color............

Most creatures I meet at night are well tempered, but there are a few exceptions. This gargoyle obviously wasn't in his best mood and I decided to let him silently screem at the universe without further enquiry.

United Kingdom, Oxfordshire, Oxford, Autumn 2024
The University Church of St Mary the Virgin is an Anglican church in Oxford situated on the north side of the High Street. It is the centre from which the University of Oxford grew and its parish consists almost exclusively of university and college buildings. St Mary's possesses an eccentric Baroque porch, and a spire which is claimed by some church historians to be one of the most beautiful in England. Radcliffe Square lies to the north and to the east is the southern end of Catte Street. The 13th-century tower is open to the public for a fee and provides good views across the heart of the historic university city, especially Radcliffe Square, the Radcliffe Camera, Brasenose College, Oxford and All Souls College.
Most of my pictures are taken in and around the city of Molde, witch is the capital of Møre og Romsdal, in the country of Norway
This one was taken is not far from the city limits.

Vlkolínec, situated in the centre of Slovakia, is a remarkably intact settlement of 45 buildings with the traditional features of a central European village. It is the region’s most complete group of these kinds of traditional log houses, often found in mountainous areas. Vlkolínec is small community part of the town of Ružomberok. It was historically referred to as a street of Ružomberok, yet is situated about 7 kilometres from the town itself, in the mountains of the northern part of central Slovakia. It is a remarkably well preserved rural medieval settlement featuring wooden architecture typical of hillside and mountain areas. Its layout, defined in part by the hilly terrain of the mountains of Veľká Fatra, features log houses situated on narrow lots with stables, barns and smaller outbuildings in the rear. A canalized stream flows through the centre of the village. The surrounding landscape is formed by narrow strips of fields and pastures with haylofts.
Vlkolínec, situated in the centre of Slovakia, is a remarkably intact settlement with the traditional features of a central European village. Vlkolínec has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993, and is one of ten Slovak villages that have been given the status of a folk architecture reservations. Originally it was the settlement of loggers, shepherds and farmers.
Vlkolínec – in het midden van Slowakije – is een opmerkelijk intact gebleven nederzetting met gebouwen kenmerkend voor een centraal Europees dorp. De huizen worden gebouwd op stenen funderingen, de muren bedekt met klei en vervolgens wit of blauw geschilderd. Er zijn 47 van dit soort traditionele woningen in Vlkolínec en daarmee de meest volledige groep van dit soort traditionele Slowaakse houten huizen, die vaak voorkomen in bergachtige gebieden. Naast de traditionele woningen staan er in het plaatsje een winkel en school uit het einde van de 19e eeuw en de kerk van de Heilige Maagd Maria uit 1875, met een belfort gebouwd in 1770. Vlkolínec staat sinds 1993 op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO omdat het dorp, onaangetast is door de moderne tijd.
Most mornings I wake up feeling BLAH lol. Hitting the snooze button. Dragging myself down to the kitchen needing my coffee. But today I woke up before my alarm and just full of life and of course feeling really cute for some reason.
Maybe it’s the chill in the air? Could be that I’m getting excited for the holidays? Who knows but regardless I think today is going to be a great day.

Most of the time I don't have a camera with me anymore, but every now and then when the weather looks promising, I take it along. Like that morning a little over a week ago.
Most of the commercial Es have returned to their contract school services. The 3 at Merton were all last used at the back end of Feburary on route 57. EN10 is pictured at Raynes Park Station the day before its stopped getting used on TFL work
"The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear."
― Stephen King
Like most of the mid-west we have had an unusually warm February. However, there were still a couple of fair-sized chunks of un-melted shelf ice, buried (insulated) under the sand and gravel on the beach here.
The rose color in the sky only lasted for just a few moments. The actual sunrise, fifteen or so minutes later was mostly blocked by the cloud bank. Have a wonderful weekend.
Most of the leaves have fallen and with recent high winds, they have blown away.

The sunset hits the Bridge of Sighs in this way almost everyday and it stays that way for a few minutes before it spreads over the rest of the beautiful enclosure and makes it all the same color. Visiting Oxford University is like a trip through history. Some of the greatest minds in human history have studied there, going back hundreds of years, The list of Oxford alumni contains the names of some of the most historically significant world leaders, writers, inventors and scientists. Even Albert Einstein attended Oxford for a time, but it soon became obvious that there wasn’t much they could teach him. The Bridge of Sighs Is just one of its many famous and beautiful iconic landmarks. The Bridge of Sighs – is called that, because of its apparent resemblance to the structure of the same name in Venice It links Hertford's old and new quadrangles across New College Lane. It was officially opened in January 1914 and has since gained worldwide renown as an Oxford icon.
One of the most awesome things about living on a Nordic country? Sunrises and sunsets that seem to last forever.
This image was taken over one hour after sunset at Särkitunturi Fell last Sunday.
After a mundane sunset we decided to stay on top of fell a bit longer and I'm glad we did! After 30 minutes, clouds started scattering and bit later, cloud cover opened up revealing one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever witnessed!
We got a chance to witness skies illuminated with yellow, red and orange hues together with snow-covered trees and snow dunes painted with deep pink, blue and purple colors. So beautiful!

A most untypical picture for me. At least as far as the time of day is concerned. I normally never take pictures in broad daylight, but here there was no other way.
A classical view over Berchtesgaden with the famous Watzmann in the background.
We plan to cross the mountain in autumn.
. The most popular salmon pools on the river are the Turn Pool, Quarry Pool, Rock Pool, Whin Pool and Meadow Pool. Three rods are allowed and it is such a straightforward river that a gillie is not necessary.
The spring fish average 9 lb in weight and run in February, March, April and May. The grilse average 4 lb and run in June and July. A feature of the river is that it gets a small run of very big summer salmon, some of which weigh over 20 lb. The best fish in recent years was 19 lb and was a summer fish.
Most of my life I have overlooked birds, especially small ones. Then I got serious about photography. Photography gives us the unique ability to see small things in a way we never have able to before. Now I see these small birds in their exquisite detail and I can appreciate their tiny lives and their natural perfection. One can see the tiny patterns of the way their feathers lay. The rough durable feet with their tiny effective claws. The perfection of nature is so well displayed in a closeup photograph of a creature and the image can be studied and lingered over. The animal is seen in such a way that is impossible to see with just casual observation. This why I fell in love with photography, especially of wildlife. The photo offers a glimpse of life we normally don't see, an enhancement, an amplification that allows us to truly see something, maybe for the first time. This Titmouse is just as exquisite and perfect as a bald eagle. The perfection of nature and evolution is everywhere around us and a photograph captures the moment of time and perfection for us to view in a way we hardly ever can otherwise.

One of the most desired train - ST44 locomotive with four-section doubledecker set. And the more the roof of the terminal wagons is rounded, the better. To complete the happiness, "Bipa" (old name for these wagons) should be in olive paint. Not this time, though.
Such set could be spotted until all locomotives were finally dispatched among post-PKP operators in 2007. Before, when all locomotives were owned by PKP Cargo, quite often in summer season typical freight locomotives were employed for passenger trains, when typically passenger locomotives (equipped with train heating generators) were sent to overhauling workshops before heating season.
ST44-992 with passenger train no. 90138 from Gdynia Główna to Kościerzyna is just arriving at the terminal station. August 14, 2006.

"Gagar z bipą" to taki motyw charakterystyczny. Nie jest prawdziwym mikolem, kto nie widział gagara z bipą (nie dotyczy osób poniżej trzydziestki).
Ale serio, gdy wszystkie lokomotywy były w PKP Cargo i ta spółka zapewniała obsługę trakcyjną ruchu pasażerskiego, przy odrobinie szczęścia, tudzież cynku, udawało się ujrzeć bardzo nietypową lokomotywę w obsłudze banalnego pociągu.

Christine Falls is probably the most photographed place inside Mount Rainier National Park due to the fact that it's gorgeous AND it's right off the side of the road which usually means a long queue and a rushed shot elbow to elbow with your new best friends. On this day, however, I had it all to myself as the snow plows had scooped out the parking lot and left a five foot berm of snow in front of the trailhead.
This is the 37 foot lower tier of the Christine Van Trump Falls, so named after a nine year old girl who attempted the ascent of the mountain with her dad in 1889. The young lady made it to 10,000 feet despite a crippling nervous disorder.
The wonderful arched bridge framing the scene for us is concrete and faced with rubble stonework. Built in 1927, it spans 56 feet of Van Trump creek and it has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1991 and for me it is the highlight of the drive through the park.
I've posted this video twice so if you've seen the lahar crash through here don't bother, but for the rest of you, hold on to your seat. :)
(deep breath) Howdy! Hope all are well, I am for the most part. I've been working a lot and when I'm not working I've been on the couch resting. Then the holidays, crummy weather and suddenly I don't have anything to share AND I'm way behind with all of you. gasp. :) anywho, I still don't have much that I'd call Flickrworthy but I wanted to say hi and I'm still alive and have been secretly peeking. I have a few hours before I get back to the grind this morning so I'm going to give catching up a go. I'm still not out of the woods with work, two more bank remodels to do on top of my regular work load which means long days, nights, weekends because the banks don't close for remodels and we have contractors who use us exclusively for their cabinets and we have to keep them happy at the same time. boo hoo, whatever. I'm going to try to catch up and stay caught up so when the day comes that my camera leaps joyfully back into my hands I'll be ready. :)
You see, I started this project for reasons unlike what most of you have described: better knowledge of your camera, a way to hone your skills, etc., etc. Me? I really did not see any point in having three hundred and sixty five photographs of myself. But, here’s how it happened:
Last summer I drove from my life in California back to my childhood home in Ohio. The decision to move home was based on necessity, not want. Over the course of the four-day cross-country drive, WITH MY MOTHER, I realized I was going to need one hell of an outlet if I was going to survive this transition year. During this drive across country, I also realized that not only would I need an outlet, a safe-haven, a secret-hide-out from my everyday life back home, I realized I would need some friends. Not one of my friends from high school or growing up was still around town. The whole drive I thought about the 365 projects I’d seen on Flickr, and by the time I got half way home, I’d decided that’s what I needed to do. I even convinced my mom on the drive that I needed a DSLR… you know… as an investment? Uh-huh. And a 365 was born on the night of August 16, 2008… the day my cross-continental drive came to an end and I was officially home. One year ago.
What I didn’t realize was just how much of an outlet this would be. I like to think of it as the one room in my house where no one can find me. What else I didn’t realize was… you people would become more than online-acquaintances. You would become friends, people I actually desire to meet.
It’s funny, this project, and what it does to you that you don’t expect. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my life over this past year (not just through the 365, lets not be dramatic), and I think maybe I’ve even learned a little photography along the way.
Thanks to everyone who has stopped by at one point or another over the past year.
Love,
Erin
