The Wild Moor
One from the weekend and a snowy Alston Moor just outside the village of Nenthead in Cumbria.
I love this location, the grasses and the wall winding its way into the distance....beautiful but so bloody cold.

You gotta love slider Sunday. At least I do. It gives me a chance to take an image like this, dip it in Topaz, and poof, I get a cool shot..:)
I didn't make it to Fredricksburg after all..:( Maybe next month.
to my fellow Canadians....even though it looks like Christmas outside my window I'm thankful that I had at least 16 hours of Fall this year. Lucky i don't sleep in or i would have missed this shot. Don't let this warm shot decieve you because I'm actually standing on ice while taking it. My fingers were stiffening up...I guess they haven't adjusted to the Great White North yet. They were so cold i couldn't even flip Doc "the bird" if he was here.
Davis Creek Falls is a nice cascade found in the north Georgia mountains (outside of Helen, and near Raven Cliff Falls) while hiking to the larger (and very different) Duke's Creek Falls. If my information is correct, both falls are actually on Davis Creek, but Duke's Creek Falls is found essentially where the two creeks converge, thus leading to the different name. Sometimes you see the falls shown here referred to as 'Duke's Creek Falls #1', as it's encountered first on the trail. Once you descend the steep stairs coming down from the parking area, pay attention to the steep gorge on the right - this is where this falls is found. A nice little muddy scramble is required to get down to the creek level. I bet in high water conditions this is a pretty powerful waterfall - not so much in the low water of late summer!

"Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery." - Bill Watterson
-----
Somewhere in the city, I'm sure my Dad woke up this morning feeling a little more chipper than usual. Snow had fallen overnight, not a lot, but enough to give him a sense of satisfaction. Winter is coming, it's almost time for skis and snowshoes.
Elsewhere in the city, people woke up and looked outside and sighed. Winter is coming.
I personally hate the first snowfall of the year. No matter how little snow we get, people seem to lose their minds behind the wheel.
I passed four car being pulled off the side of the highway this morning, and traffic was more nutty than usual. We had people going 130km an hour, and others going 30km an hour. The highway I take to work has a speed limit of 100km an hour. Not easy to navigate through the insanity, but I survived and hopefully people will calm down and return to their normal levels of madness.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Obviously it would have been better to have someone actually walking into the sunset, but when in remote locations you have to take what you can get!
Thanks for viewing my photo, comments are always welcome and appreciated.
Loch Lubnaig lies in the heart of the Trossachs and within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, an area of some significant beauty with a great number of hills, mountains and lochs. It is an area where it is so easy to enjoy many outdoor pursuits but on such a tranquil day as today, it really was nice to be able to appreciate the serenity that it offered.

The alps : probably the symbol of Switzerland !
Don't you find strange that when you have a photographic interest of any subject, the best solution is not to go directly to it, but to stay remote in order to have a global view ? For example, most of good pictures of castles are not taken from the castle, but precisely a few km away.
It's the same situation here : I am about 100 Km away of the Berner Oberland and the Alps, on another Mountain Range : the Jura. Between me and these mountains there's at least two lakes. However, it's probably one of the best place - better than the alps themselves - where you can see what alps really are : a chain crossing the horizon from east to west.
This place is absolutely beautiful in the morning when the air is clear. That day, it rained between me and the Alps, giving this graphic aspects for the clouds.

This picture was published in the Nordic Magazine, n°16, October 2015, pp. 80-81. : Here is the result
Armed with a sharp beak and wicked dewclaws! :-)
Shot taken at Las Gallinas in San Rafael, CA. The last shot of the day.
Have a wonderful week everyone!
I titled this image Irresistible because the original version is my most stolen photograph. A Google image reverse search will bring up hundreds of different websites where the image has been posted, mostly because of Reddit. In one night it received 60,000+ views. This post isn't about that though and I have collected some decent money from it's illegal use. It's just an interesting side story. Many non-photographers do not even think the image is real which is funny and sad at the same time. I have even been accused of Photoshopping in the plants in the foreground. If this one gets stolen and passed around like the original edit and you find yourself questioning the reality of a place like this...you need to get outside more. :)
Anyway, I really just wanted to give it a proper re-edit because I really do like the image. The processing of the original is terrible. I just posted the first of my 2013 workshops on my website, the ever popular Palouse workshop. All of my workshops next year are going to be smaller & more focused landscape photography workshops. In the coming week I will be announcing a Seattle Night Photography workshop as well as Columbia River Gorge, Oregon Coast, Washington Coast & Mt Rainier National Park workshops. If you are interested, check out the website!
Because of continuing interest in my upcoming Fall Color workshop, I have added a 2nd set of dates, October 20th & 21st. This 2nd workshop only has 1 spot left. If you are interested, please shoot me an email or register!

The clouds this particular morning were spectacular - and very unusual. You come to learn what the sky is telling you after many years of watching the day begin in this beautiful part of Malaga in Southern Spain. The calm sea can easily foil you. Within 2 hours of this spectacular sunrise a storm blew up and gave us three days of rolling ocean, cloud, howling wind and rain with intermittent sunshine. It was very special.

On the trip to Staple Island, and on the Inner Farne trip, the boatmen often travel into some of the cuts and channels which exist between the cliffs. These are sometimes full of birds on the water and there are always huge numbers of birds flying in and out of the colonies.
These guillemot were part of a much larger group which seemed confident in staying put until the boat got relatively close. It was a glorious early summer day and the water was gin clear.
The weather today was beautiful, and as always when it's this nice outside I always head to my favourite 'go to' places. A slight variation on previous editions taken at this spot, the crates were too good to pass up and really brought the foreground to life.
We made another trip to the sunflower fields after being skunked with the clouds last weekend. I used the windshield shade out of our car to reflect some light back on the sunflowers.
Another attempt at Martin's Get Pushed challenge. I've got a bit closer this time and there's some stars thrown in. It looks quite strange, what with the dying light, fast travelling clouds over 120 seconds, various cheap filters combining and trying to light things up a bit with a torch. But I am pleased. It is certainly different.
The day didn't start too badly as I had a puncture, so I couldn't get to the garage on time for the slot I'd already booked the day before to have the exhaust checked out. I also wanted to replace every bulb on the car just to stop the incessant warning signals beeping telling me that bulbs have gone when they haven't. It's like sharing the car with R2D2. With R2D2 on whatever the droid equivalent of speed is.
We've been having a terrible cold spell and it is tricky trying to shoot after dark, or outside at all really. It is a bit wearing to be permanently cold. For this, I blame the absent minded spell I seem to be having. A colleague in my office was looking in the top drawer of a filing cabinet, blocking my path. Totally without thinking, I pushed her in the back like she was an extension of the drawer, so I could get by. I know treating women is objects is wrong, but this was just ridiculous. I apologised profusely of course!
Nutzt das Wochenende und geht raus in die Natur, egal wie das Wetter bei euch dann ist. Manchmal gibt es sogar solch schöne Cafes, wo man draußen in der Sonne sitzen kann. Vorsicht Sonnenbrandgefahr :-)
Make the best of your weekend and go out into nature, no matter how the weather will be in your area. Sometimes there is even such nice cafe where you can sit outside in the sun. Caution: risk of sunburn:-)
On Sunday this old boat was destroyed in a mindless act of vandalism on Dungeness beach.
This shot was taken last year and saly no one will now get to enjoy this boat any more.
EDIT - Thanks to info from Ziggy Stardust it looks like this particular wreck has survived however it doesn't make up for the loss of another.

'What summer?' those of you in UK may well ask as it blows a gale outside, cold and wet, but it will be here soon and this yellow rose in my garden is promise of that, opening out during a brief mild spell before it went cold again. A happy evening to you!

One of my fave spot for long summer wakings ..... first time I was here during a frost. It was so amazing ♥
This is my one of my old shot, still no snowing in this part....
INDIEN, Khajuraho (Tempel)
Most Khajuraho temples were built between 950 and 1050 by the Chandela dynasty. Historical records note that the Khajuraho temple site had 85 temples by 12th century, spread over 20 square kilometers. Of these, only about 20 temples have survived, spread over 6 square kilometers. Of the various surviving temples, the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple is decorated with a profusion of sculptures with intricate details, symbolism and expressiveness of ancient Indian art
The Khajuraho temples feature a variety of art work, of which 10% is sexual or erotic art outside and inside the temples. Some of the temples that have two layers of walls have small erotic carvings on the outside of the inner wall. Some scholars suggest these to be tantric sexual practices.] Other scholars state that the erotic arts are part of Hindu tradition of treating kama as an essential and proper part of human life, and its symbolic or explicit display is common in Hindu temples. James McConnachie, in his history of the Kamasutra, describes the sexual-themed Khajuraho sculptures as "the apogee of erotic art":
