Sun sets behind the mountains casting its last warm glow of day on the tallest peaks. Taken aboard clipper ship on the Lynn Canal outside Juneau.
Newcastle Emlyn Castle (Welsh: Castell Newydd Emlyn) is a ruined castle in the market town of Newcastle Emlyn in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is strategically located on a steep-sided promontory overlooking the River Teifi and was probably built by the Welsh lord Maredudd ap Rhys in about 1240. It changed hands many times over the years in battles between the Welsh and English, and during the English Civil War. The remains of the gatehouse and adjacent towers, and some fragments of wall are all that remain visible now. Wikipedia

This image explores the quiet dialogue between built shelter and untamed landscape: weathered timber stilt buildings sit lightly above the ground, framed by dense foliage, banana plants and towering palms. The muted daylight and heavy cloud cover create a reflective atmosphere, balancing the warmth of everyday life with the vast, living presence of the tropics. Location: Sarawak, Borneo.

My Spiky Friend
I captured a number of images of a resident Echidna at my parents place, this is the last of the images I captured of my spiky little friend. As with the other photos, this was captured with a Nikon D610 and the Tamron 150-600mm lens. I did a bit of editing on this image to try and bring out the best, in reality I could have edited it much less but I thought it was worth using these tools for a range of different reasons.
Aurora HDR (trav.to/aurora-hdr) to exposure blend two different images (-3 & 0 exposure), this tool was used to bring it details in the highlights and shadows.
Luminar AI (trav.to/0clb0) to improve the overall image using Accent AI (masked to just the Echidna) as well as a few other minor edits.
Silver Efex Pro 2 (trav.to/uurf9) which is part of the Nik Collection to Convert the Image to a Black and White picture.

The rustic boathouse on Crater Lake, Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park. Crater Peak in the background.
From the frame to the roof shingles, the boathouse is constructed solely of local, split King Billy Pine (Athrotaxis selaginoides). The structure has seen some recent repairs.
King Billy is a fabulous boatbuilding timber but now impossible to get. It is straight, light, strong and rot resistant. The timber is singularly aromatic and a lovely salmon colour when worked and turns a gorgeous silver when weathered.
King Billy was harvested heavily in our colonial past and many fine yachts, dinghies, doors and window frames have been made from it. The species is also incredibly slow growing and not at all fire adapted. We have lost significant stands to fires in recent years.

Blankenburg/Harz Saxony-Anhalt GER
Blankenburg (Harz) is a town and health resort in the district of Harz, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, at the north foot of the Harz Mountains, 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Halberstadt.
It has been in large part rebuilt since a fire in 1836, and possesses a castle, with various collections, a museum of antiquities, an old town hall and churches. Gardening is a speciality. The nearby ridge of rocks called the Teufelsmauer (Devils Wall) offers views across the plain and into the deep gorges of the Harz.

We get later in the year, I find myself going back over the photos I've shot, and sometimes I find a few I've missed. This is one of those, shot on picturesque South Boundary Avenue here in my town.

The surreal, southern flanks of Snæfellsjökull Volcano on Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Iceland.
Snæfellsjökull stands at 1446m with its last recorded eruption approximately 200CE.
The peak/icecap was wreathed in cloud the whole time we were travelling around it and most of the day was grey and drizzly. In the late afternoon, Mr Sun finally got below the clag and lit up the fabulous lava flows on the flanks of the volcano.
Háahraun and Seljahraun lava fields left and right of that bald hillock in the center.
Have previously posted a full colour version of this scene but the mono always called. From the archives, September 2017.

My series of images from Rosslyn Chapel concludes with something perhaps counter intuitive given my fascination with with the colours of the sandstone ... a set of B&W images from infrared captures.

The Atocha station memorial is a memorial monument located at Atocha station in Madrid, Spain, that commemorates the 191 victims of the 11 March 2004 Madrid train bombings. Furthermore, it also honors the special forces agent who died when seven suicide bombers blew themselves up on 3 April 2004 during a raid on an apartment used by the perpetrators of the aforementioned train bombings.

Like so many, we experience cabin fever after spending a month at home in isolation. We escaped to nature at a nearby trail in Cupertino, California. Right now it is lush green. Soon it will turn golden brown, here simulated with a filter.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and added an "Indian Summer" Color Efex Pro 2 filter for a fall color scene. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.

A pattern-welded blade by Pete Mattila of Hobart.
This particular blade is one of a trio of such hand-forged pieces created by Pete, artist, designer and blacksmith.
Pattern-welded steel is often mistakenly referred to as 'Damascus steel' but there are notable differences in production techniques, chemical composition and metallurgy in a historical sense. Sufficient differences in fact to start whole wars on blade smithing forums so not going there... :-)
This particular blade is made from railway steel and another, higher carbon steel being forced together under extreme temperature and pressure - either by press or hammer.
The unique banding in this one-piece blade comes from the many layers being twisted very tightly together at the end of the welding process and when close to white hot. The blade shape has then been hammer forged out of the circular blank. The twisting is visible in the handle.
They are a very pretty blade after pickling in acid then strong coffee :-)

This was taken on one of our club photowalks recently, at 6pm there was an almighty storm with lightning, thunder, lashing rain and high winds and I was sat at home thinking "do I really want to go out in this?"... the weather forecast stated it was going to clear up so I headed out anyway and we found that no only did the storm pass but it left us with the most calm and gentle evening. At least this meant I had my favourite red umbrella to play with on the beach!
Ständchen im Mondlicht
Tatsächlich eine Aufnahme bei Tageslicht, aber leider verwackelt... Trotzdem mag ich die dunkle Stimmung des Bildes. :))
(Das Blatt erinnert mich übrigens an den Kopf einer Kobra...) :)
In fact, I captured this one in daylight, but unfortunately it has camera shake... Nevertheless, I like the dark mood. :))
(Btw, that leaf reminds me of a cobra-head...) :)

Hafnarfjall (841m) from Hotel Hafnarfjall, Borgarnes. There was some pretty spectacular light this particular evening as the sun slipped below the cloud ceiling we'd been under all day.
The mountain is on the other side of Route 1 from the hotel and there are some cars and poles alongside on the highway through the lower third of the frame.
I believe the peak at the left is Klaustertunguhóll (719m).
Archive frame from West Iceland (Vesturland) September 2017.

Using a tracker seems to make the ''front palate' blue recede and allows much deeper tones to come through. Things go a bit weird if I play with the WB so leaving it alone for now.

Scottsbluff was a happy detour for us on our first trip out west in 2016. The expansive national monument celebrates the pioneers of the past who followed the Oregon Trail through this area using the rock formations as their guides. To this day, you can still see the wagon ruts left behind by the thousands who searched for a better life in the West.
