Just a simple, if chilly, landscape shot made on early morning on Grand Island, NY. It took about 45 minutes to restore proper feeling to my fingertips and toes!

7DWF Crazy Tuesday: Crazy and unique perspective
Ladybug enjoying the sunshine on my insect screen. So actually I'm the one behind bars.
I know that this is not a good shot from a technical point of view. The little guy was washing its face, and when I finally got a fairly sharp shot from a nice position, this one, it decided to move out of the frame. To add a kind of prison touch, and to balance the weird framing here, I added a heavy square vignette in Analog Efex.
Mariechenkäfer, der die frühe Märzsonne auf meinem Insektengitter genoss.
Ich weiß, dass das eigentlich kein gutes Foto ist, aber ich dachte, es passt zum heutigen Crazy-Tuesday-Thema. Er saß relativ weit unten und als ich endlich die Fensterbank freigeräumt hatte, beschloss er, sich zu putzen und dann krabbelte er aus dem Bild ;-) Um den nicht so tollen Bildausschnitt etwas auszubalancieren und dem Foto einen gewissen "Gefängnis-Touch" zu verleihen, habe ich in Analog Efex eine rechteckige Vignette drübergelegt.
South Queensferry, Scotland
After the dismal bank holiday weather, Tuesday turned out to be rather better. The tide was on the turn but plenty of time to grab a few shots along the shoreline. It was a nice afternoon stroll along the promenade and cobbled streets of South Queensferry but not the best conditions for photography with the sun high in the sky, hence this B&W conversion via Nik software to bring out some definition and contrast.
Sights around the beautiful location of Homer, Alaska. Sitting at the tip of the Kenai Peninsula this spit of land enjoys views of mountains meeting the bay, abundant sea life, and soaring eagles above.
Mount Burns, South Island, New Zealand. This is a very special place and i cannot wait to get back there.
This is a two image stitch. I have previously posted the two original photos separately so this may look familiar.

Ocotillo (pronounced o co TEE yo), also referred to as coachwhip, candlewood, slimwood, desert coral, Jacob's staff, Jacob cactus, and vine cactus) is a plant indigenous to the Sonoran Desert and Chihuahuan Desert in the Southwestern United States (southern California, southern Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas), and northern Mexico.
Ocotillo is not a true cactus. For much of the year, the plant appears to be an arrangement of large spiny dead sticks, although closer examination reveals that the stems are partly green. With rainfall, the plant quickly becomes lush with small (2–4 cm), ovate leaves, which may remain for weeks or even months. The bright crimson flowers appear especially after rainfall in spring, summer, and occasionally fall. ...Wikipedia
I've mentioned it before, but my stay in Big Bend National Park was extremely short, but I was abundantly blessed to be there at that particular time. It had been raining over most of the entire State of Texas for the previous month of April, with only a few dry days. I couldn't have picked a better time to arrive. It was the very end of April, almost going into May when it normally begins to get quite warm, if not hot. But it was actually cold at night, though I was quite warm in my padded sleeping bag in the tent. There are literally hundreds of miles of hiking trails. A four-wheel drive vehicle is a plus.

As I will soon be without a studio, I felt That I should do some work in it!
Comme je n'aurais bientôt plus de studio, j'ai senti le besoin d'y travailler ce matin!

Playing with the macro lens again. This time on the water drops that collected on the decorative grass after a rain.
From Cape Tourville looking northward to Cape Lodi and Paddy's Head. Popular climbing spot - the Whitewater Wall - in the immediate foreground if not a tad invisible :-)
Cape Tourville is within the Freycinet National Park and was named in honour of the impressively titled, Admiral Ann Hilarion de Contentin, Comte de Tourville (1642-1701) in 1802 by French explorer, navigator, hydrographer and cartographer, Captain Nicholas Baudin.

The ramparts of Þorgeirsfellshyrna (601m) loom large over the Hraunsmúli farmstead.
The top of the formation is actually the bump to the left of the sunlit peak for which I'm not able to locate a name. Pretty sure it attracts climbers so if anyone knows - please help me out :-)

A bit of a conceptual piece, playing with time as a narrative. If you look at my previously published image alongside this one, you can see the galactic core of the Milky Way fairly clearly here. All told, this is an hourlong section of time under the spinning night skies.

The former Fleetwood radar training station served for decades as a base for coastal masters and crews to train in the latest radar technology.
Built in 1961, the Grade II Listed edifice stands next to the town's Victorian lighthouse near to Fleetwood Promenade, and is a single storey, oval building with a reinforced concrete, flat roof. Raised above the level of high tide, the old radar station also has framed timber windows, a timber floor and door, and can be accessed by steps from Fleetwood Promenade.
Historic England has praised its 'elegant, modern design' and highlighted that the two buildings show 'the history of communications side by side.' Similar accolades include a 1965 Civic Trust Commendation, which singled it out as a 'modest yet dramatic little building' and the art historian and architect, Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, called it 'a cute little piece.'
The historic building was built by Lancashire County Council's architects in 1961, and it was transferred to Blackpool and the Fylde College in 1996 but is shortly to be assigned back to Lancashire County Council as the original leaseholder.
Some renovation is needed to restore the building to its former glory, and any future owner will be required to undertake such work and also apply to Wyre Borough Council to vary the covenant which stipulates its use as a Radar Instruction Centre. However, the building's iconic status and distinguished naval history have already sparked considerable interest locally.
County Councillor Alan Vincent, deputy leader of the council and cabinet member for resources, HR and property, said: "This little building forms an historic and attractive feature, and taken with the historic 1840 lighthouse, forms a vital testimony to Fleetwood's distinguished naval past as well as showing the history of naval communications in our midst in Lancashire.
"We hope that by placing this iconic building up for auction, an essential part of our region's wonderful marine history can be preserved for the future, along with Lancashire's distinguished legacy of naval communications in times gone by.

The middle section of Liffey Falls in Northern Tasmania.
The Liffey River has three steps in a short section of its course running off the Great Western Tiers. These falls lie in a very attractive section of rainforest.
A massive flood in 2016 deposited the tree and other debris at the foot of this section. Unfortunately Tasmania does not have the 'disposable income' to spare to clean the rubbish up.
The lower section is the most dramatic but we didn't get there due to the heavens opening - it's hard to tell in the shot other than the wet rocks in the foreground but it was pouring at the time.

Went back to Mayo River State Park yesterday to scout out some Fall color. Might have been just a wee bit past peak, but still quite lovely! (This is the exact same location as my “Lushness” photo posted in August!)

Our Government, its Politicians and Corporations will do almost anything to contain the truth. They will provoke the many degenerates within our society, who wander around looking for someone to hate. This is modern day Gang Stalking, Community Stalking and Workplace Mobbing. Yosemite has no shortage of degenerates.

Right down amongst the spray at Trial Harbour. Amazing geology on the west coast - these rocks bear witness to some major tectonic events in Tasmania's journey along with severe weathering in the recent era.
The leathery looking feature at front left is Bull Kelp (Durvillaea potatorum). Cast (washed ashore) Bull Kelp is harvested here and up the coast at Granville Harbour and also on King Island. The kelp is processed into all manner of substances used in medicine, foods, gardening/agriculture and livestock raising.

Valley of Fire State Park is not as well known as the bigger National Parks to the North and East in Utah and Arizona but it is only a 90 minute drive from Las Vegas and is well worth for its unique orange rock formations.
5 sets of 3 portrait bracketed exposures, 2 EV apart, first merged with HDR and then stitched in Lightroom. Exposure blended in Photoshop. Resulting panorama is 36 megapixels.
