One of the things people always say is to keep your eyes open and look around when you are shooting. On this occasion I was shooting the Mow Cop Castle from below in the lovely orange glow of the setting sun. The sun went behind a cloud and the image I was after went a bit flat so I turned around to see how long the sun might be behind the cloud and spotted this amazing ray of sunlight illuminating the plain below.
A little bit of running around brought the standing stone into the foreground and I went for it. On what my camera though was a normal exposure the glow disappeared into the background. Time to flick the switches to manual and see what various levels of under exposure did to the scene. The image I was finally happy with ended up 2 stops underexposed but brought out the wonderful glow that my eyes could see as well as beautifully brightening the edges of the clouds which had hidden the sun.

"It is as if I had been going downhill while I imagined I was going up. And that is really what it was. I was going up in public opinion, but to the same extent life was ebbing away from me. And now it is all done and there is only death." Tolstoy, Death of Ivan Ilyich

The excavated remains of the Forum can be seen in the foreground. In the back ground is the replica Roman Town House constructed using traditional tools in 2010/11 for a Channel 4 documentary series.
For more photographs of Wroxeter Roman City, please click here: www.jhluxton.com/England/Shropshire/Wroxeter-Roman-City/
Roman Wroxeter, near the end of the Watling Street Roman road that ran across Romanised Celtic Britain from Dubris (Dover), was a key frontier position lying on the bank of the River Severn whose valley penetrated deep into what later became Wales, and also on a route south leading to the Wye valley.
Archaeology has shown that the site of the later city first was established about AD 55 as a frontier post for a Thracian legionary cohort located at a fort near the Severn river crossing. A few years later a legionary fortress (castrum) was built within the site of the later city for the Legio XIV Gemina during their invasion of Wales.
The local British tribe of the Cornovii had their original capital (also thought to have been named *Uiroconion) at the hillfort on the Wrekin. When the Cornovii were eventually subdued their capital was moved to Wroxeter and given its Roman name.
This legion XIV Gemina was later replaced by the Legio XX Valeria Victrix which in turn relocated to Chester around AD 88. As the military abandoned the fortress the site was taken over by the Cornovians' civilian settlement.
The name of the settlement, meaning "Viroconium of the Cornovians", preserves a native Brittonic name that has been reconstructed as *Uiroconion.
Viroconium prospered over the next century, with the construction of many public buildings, including thermae and a colonnaded forum. At its peak, it is thought to have been the 4th-largest settlement in Roman Britain, with a population of more than 15,000.
Following the Roman withdrawal from Britain around AD 410, the Cornovians seem to have divided into Pengwern and Powys. The minor Magonsæte sub-kingdom also emerged in the area in the interlude between Powysian and Mercian rule. Viroconium may have served as the early post-Roman capital of Powys prior to its removal to Mathrafal sometime before 717, following famine and plague in the area.
The Roman city was rediscovered in 1859 when workmen began excavating the baths complex. A replica Roman villa was constructed in 2010 for a Channel 4 television programme called Rome Wasn't Built in a Day and was opened to the public on 19 February 2011.

Collaboration
In 1981 my father made this awesome and slightly weird drawing.
Part of it is this little bird you see standing next to me!
My grandfather was a great painter, my father was and I couldn't draw even if my life depended on it ;)
So I always felt slightly sad about the fact my father died before I got into photography.
Now I finally found my passion, an art form I can express myself in and he never saw any of it.
But yesterday I thought of this...
a Collaboration between my dad's and my art!
So I did my very best to do his work justice!
It was cold and sunny in the forest.
Just perfect!

After the success of IDS-Brickworld we are glad to present this group layout created in collaboration with nine Brickz Lab members.
It took us about half a year to plan and build the MOC. In the process we went from quick sketches to a 3D model which we then recreated in LEGO parts.
The layout is based on the planet Batuu in Star Wars Lore and the Galaxy\'s Edge section in the Disney parks. We tried to translate as many recognizable features from the original reference into LEGO as we could but also left space for our own interpretation of what it should look like.
Noticeable details are the Rock Spires as well as the rounded buildings.
The MOC shows the occupation of the city by the Galactic Empire in it\'s early days just shortly after the events of Revenge Of The Sith. As such we thought it might be fitting to add an A5 Juggernaut to the build as well as vehicles like BARC-speeders and Infantry Support Platforms in gray colour scheme. Find out more about the story HERE
Big thanks to every participant, everyone who gave us feedback while the build was in progress and to all the helpers at the convention who made this collaboration possible.
The driver of a brand new and un-registered Volkswagen reluctantly brings his car to a slithering halt just in time as 'C2's 041 and 168 round the curve over the road and into the reception sidings at Huanan with their loaded coal train from Hongguang on 30th December 2009. I cursed this incident at the time, as indeed the crossing-keeper did; the car driver should have waited where the road had been partially cleared in the foreground and adjacent to the sign. But the inclusion of the then modern vehicle and the soon to be eradicated steam traction now make an interesting and never to be repeated comparison. The attire of the railway official was also somewhat different to that seen on my first winter visits almost a decade before.

The Circus of Maxentius is an ancient structure in Rome. It is part of a complex of buildings erected by emperor Maxentius on the Via Appia between AD 306 and 312. It is situated between the second and third miles of the Via Appia between the basilica and catacombs of San Sebastiano and the imposing late republican tomb of Caecilia Metella, which dominates the hill that rises immediately to the east of the complex. The Circus itself is the best preserved of all Roman circuses, and is second only in size to the Circus Maximus in Rome.
The American robin. As you see, he looks very different from the cute little robins in other parts of the world. They are usually the first sign that Spring is near when they cover the yard looking for insects and worms. In this case, he was looking for water from my leaking bird bath.
Cluster of colorful everywhere,
This is for the cause,
October is breast cancer awareness Month,
We all need to be aware of this dreadful disease,
Need to have our checkups regularly,
Be safe.

Pattaya is a city in the Chonburi Province of Thailand, located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. It is a popular tourist destination known for its beaches, nightlife and shopping. Pattaya is best known for its extensive and vibrant nightlife, with numerous bars, clubs and restaurants open late into the night. It is a popular destination for party people, especially among young people and expats. Besides the nightlife, Pattaya also has several beautiful beaches, including Jomtien Beach, Wong Amat Beach and Pattaya Beach. Many water sports activities are also available, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, jet skiing and parasailing. Pattaya also has some interesting cultural attractions, such as the Sanctuary of Truth, a wooden temple built in traditional Thai style, and the Big Buddha, a large golden Buddha statue on a hilltop. Despite its popularity as a tourist destination, Pattaya also faces some problems such as overcrowding, traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Yet it remains a fascinating and diverse city with much to offer visitors seeking sun, sea, sand and adventure.
Pattaya Center Seascape Apartment is an apartment complex located in the center of Pattaya, Thailand, just minutes walk from the beach and the main tourist attractions of the city. The complex has a modern feel and offers a range of facilities for guests, including an outdoor swimming pool, gym, sauna, children's playground and garden. The apartments at Pattaya Center Seascape Apartment are decorated in a modern and stylish style and offer views of the sea and the city. The complex is no less than 30th floors high and is conveniently located within walking distance of many popular tourist attractions such as Pattaya Walking Street, Royal Garden Plaza and Central Festival Pattaya Beach Mall. There are also plenty of restaurants, bars and shops nearby. Photo taken from our Seascape Apartment in the heart of Pattaya.
Pattaya is vooral bekend om zijn uitgebreide en bruisende uitgaansleven, met talloze bars, clubs en restaurants die tot laat in de nacht open zijn. Het is een populaire bestemming voor feestvierders, vooral onder jongeren en expats. Naast het nachtleven heeft Pattaya ook verschillende prachtige stranden, waaronder Jomtien Beach, Wong Amat Beach en Pattaya Beach. Er zijn ook veel watersportactiviteiten beschikbaar, zoals duiken, snorkelen, jetskiën en parasailen. Pattaya heeft ook enkele interessante culturele bezienswaardigheden, zoals de Sanctuary of Truth, een houten tempel die is gebouwd in traditionele Thaise stijl, en de Big Buddha, een grote gouden Boeddhabeeld op een heuveltop. Ondanks zijn populariteit als toeristische bestemming, heeft Pattaya ook te maken met enkele problemen, zoals overbevolking, verkeersopstoppingen en milieuvervuiling. Toch blijft het een fascinerende en diverse stad die veel te bieden heeft voor bezoekers die op zoek zijn naar zon, zee, strand en avontuur. Wij verblijven in het Pattaya Center Seascape Apartment in het centrum van Pattaya, op slechts enkele minuten lopen van het strand en de belangrijkste toeristische attracties van de stad. Het complex is maar liefst 30 verdiepingen hoog en heeft een moderne uitstraling en biedt een scala aan faciliteiten voor de gasten, waaronder een buitenzwembad, een fitnessruimte, een sauna, een kinderspeelplaats en een tuin.

IN the city of Ballarat by the end of September, nearly a 1000 miners were digging for gold on the Ballarat field - By 1853, there were more than 20,000 miners of many nationalities working on the field.
In that same year, 10,000,000 grams of gold were transported under police escort to the Melbourne Treasury. Probably as much again was never recorded but sold secretly and illegally. Over the next four (4) years, more than 77,700,000 grams reached Melbourne under escort. On June 10th 1858, the great Welcome Nugget was found. It weighed 68,956 grams and contained an estimated 68,272 grams of pure gold.
Ballarat's last mine closed down in 1918. The total recorded yield from the Ballarat Goldfield amounted to 20,592,000 Troy ounces (Ballarat Historical Society Publication No. 1) and based on a gold price of $A500 per ounce the total value would be around $10,000,000,000. A remarkable figure when it is realised that a large amount of the gold discovered in the district was never recorded.
Ballarat was the scene of Australia's most famous civic insurrection. On 3 December 1854 at Eureka, miners clashed with police and detachments of the 12th and 40th regiments. In all, 28 men were killed and a large number wounded.
Ballarat was proclaimed a township in 1852, created a municipality in 1855, a borough in 1863, and was proclaimed a City on 9 September 1870.
Note: 31.1034 grams = 1 ounce
1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams
The constant battle of the photographer and the waves. Trying to catch just the right motions, without getting wet, is really just foolish. I think if I had any advice for a new seascape photographer, it would be, expect to get wet, use a ten stop filter, and just play with different shutter speeds until you're consistently getting something that you like, and don't get your $5,000 camera wet with sea water. Because salt water and electronics ... well they just don't mix. I was shooting an XT1 next to a rock once in San Diego and took the equivalent of a bucket of sea water on the camera. It still worked fine, weather sealed, but over time things began sticking. Doesn't matter the camera, sea water is eventual death. It will also probably kill your tripod. The price we pay I suppose.
I like this shot because I was alone this night. No one else there. Such a beautiful place, and wonderful soft light to be alone. I fully expected the usual hordes. No one. Not sure why, don't care, it was relaxing to not have to worry about being in anyone's way and not have to stake out my spot. I think I love freedom in general, so when expecting to be bogged down, it's nice to have wings and be able to flutter a bit.

I'm just north of Snohomish
I have only seen this bird like 4 times in the last 3 months and he has always eluded me because he is spooky as hell, tonight I was sitting on the couch an spotted him on my suet feeder, didn't want to risk opening the door like I tried in the past which didn't work so shot him through the window and after getting a few shots I tried to open the door but he took off before it was even cracked open.
The first couple times I spotted him it was almost dark out and he looked like a bird that got into some sort of paint or chemical like creosote but the 3rd time it was late morning and got a better look at him and could see his white feathers were unaffected so I figured it was a case of leucism, that is what I am guessing it is.

Luckily the sun rises at a reasonable time these days, that and the convenience of having this tree only two miles from where I live meant only a short but hazardous journey in wellies to capture this cracking dead tree...

In honor of winter I thought I’d put up another from Abraham Lake taken nearly a year ago on a trip up to Canada with Alan and David. This evening was an eventful shoot at the Belly of Abraham Lake with storm like conditions raging over the mountains. It was blistering cold and wickedly windy on the lake surface but the dramatic light made it worthy to be out.
These bubbles are a bit different from my previous posts as these are deeper below as if they are trying but unable to reach the surface. In the background is Mt Abraham with soft evening light and wispy clouds dithering off the summit. Hope you all stay warm for the remainder of winter.

The hidden gem of a waterfall, Gljúfrabúi(Canyon dweller) that is right next to the famous Seljalandsfoss waterfall. To get to this one you have to wade through a small river and then you are greeted with the worst spray you'll ever encounter to get a photo, my camera was that soaked you would've thought someone had thrown a bucket of water over it and I had to constantly wipe the lens - hence this is the best of a soaked selfie bunch and 10 seconds to get up on that rock and to stand still getting a shower, so there is movement from me and a few wet spots.

Of course we have been taught to never judge a book by it's cover, but we still tend to read the cover of each other with out reading the full story. Someone is always looking (reading you),may never speak but always have a wondering eye, trying to figure out what isn't seen. So why not give them something magnificent to look at?

This is the nebula rich region in the constellation of Monoceros the Unicorn with the dark Cone Nebula (left of centre) and the small V-shaped and bright Hubble’s Variable Nebula at bottom, a reflection nebula that varies in form and brightness. Above the Cone Nebula is the triangular Christmas Tree Cluster, NGC 2264, here upside down as the bright blue star 15 Mon is the base of the tree. The large region of nebulosity is Sharpless 2-273. The V-shaped dark nebula above centre is LDN 1603.
Near 15 Mon is a blue reflection nebula. Another blue reflection nebula IC 2169 and associated star cluster Collinder 95 is at left — I framed the field to contain this nebula. Other bits of reflection nebulosity surround it - clockwise: NGC 2245, NGC 2247 and IC 446 above the main nebula. The rich faint cluster near centre is Trumpler 5.
This is a blend of 8 x 5-minute exposures at ISO 800 unfiltered with 6 x 8-minute exposures at ISO 1600 shot through an Optolong L-Enhance dual-band nebula enhancement filter (it lets through only Oxygen III blue-green and Hydrogen-alpha red to really enhance the nebulosity). All exposures with the Canon EOS Ra mirrorless camera through the SharpStar HNT150 Hyperbolic Newtonian Astrograph at f/2.8, from home on a very clear moonless night January 26, 2020. All stacked, aligned and blended in Photoshop 2020.

Tampa (/ˈtæmpə/) is a major city in, and the county seat of, Hillsborough County, Florida, United States. It is located on the west coast of Florida on Tampa Bay, near the Gulf of Mexico, and is the largest city in the Tampa Bay Area. The city had a population of 335,709 at the 2010 census, and an estimated population of 369,075 in 2015.
Archaeological evidence indicates that the shores of Tampa Bay were inhabited by indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The Safety Harbor culture developed in the area around the year 1000 AD, and the descendant Tocobaga and Pohoy chiefdoms were living in or near the current city limits of Tampa when the area was first visited by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Interactions between native peoples and the Spanish were brief and often violent, and although the newcomers did not stay for long, they introduced European diseases which brought the total collapse of native societies across the entire Florida peninsula over the ensuing decades. Although Spain claimed all of Florida and beyond as part of New Spain, it did not found a colony on the west coast. After the disappearance of the indigenous populations, there were no permanent settlements in the Tampa Bay area until after the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1821.
In 1824, the United States Army established a frontier outpost called Fort Brooke at the mouth of the Hillsborough River, near the site of today's Tampa Convention Center downtown. The first civilian residents were pioneer ranchers and farmers who settled near the fort for protection from the nearby Seminole population. The town grew slowly, and had become a minor shipping port for cattle and citrus by the time of the United States Civil War. Tampa Bay was blockaded by the United States Navy during the war, and Tampa fell into a long period of economic stagnation that continued long after the war ended. The situation finally improved in the 1880s, when the first railroad links, the discovery of phosphate, and the arrival of the cigar industry jump-started its development, helping Tampa to grow from an isolated village with less than 800 residents in 1880 to a bustling city of over 30,000 by the early 1900s.
Today, Tampa is part of the metropolitan area most commonly referred to as the "Tampa Bay Area". For U.S. Census purposes, Tampa is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. The four-county area is composed of roughly 2.9 million residents,making it the second largest metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the state, and the fourth largest in the Southeastern United States, behind Miami, Washington, D.C. and Atlanta. The Greater Tampa Bay area has over 4 million residents and generally includes the Tampa and Sarasota metro areas. The Tampa Bay Partnership and U.S. Census data showed an average annual growth of 2.47 percent, or a gain of approximately 97,000 residents per year. Between 2000 and 2006, the Greater Tampa Bay Market experienced a combined growth rate of 14.8 percent, growing from 3.4 million to 3.9 million and hitting the 4 million population mark on April 1, 2007.[13] A 2012 estimate shows the Tampa Bay area population to have 4,310,524 people and a 2017 projection of 4,536,854 people.
Tampa was ranked as the 5th best outdoor city by Forbes in 2008.[15] Tampa also ranks as the fifth most popular American city, based on where people want to live, according to a 2009 Pew Research Center study.[16] A 2004 survey by the New York University newspaper Washington Square News ranked Tampa as a top city for "twenty-somethings." Tampa is ranked as a "Gamma+" world city by Loughborough University, ranked alongside other world cities such as Phoenix, Charlotte, Rotterdam, and Santo Domingo.

One of the easier trails in Zion National Park is the Canyon Overlook Trail. You find the trail head at the parking lot on the east end of the tunnel on Utah Highway 9 (Mt. Carmel Road).

On the horizon are many formations which have interesting names but my favorite is "The Altar of Sacrifice". You can spot it in the middle. It is the one with 'blood' running down the face of it.
