Personally i prefer the older Twr Bach Beacon to the newer version on the island of Llanddwyn, Anglesey.
The old beacon was built in the 19th Century to help guide shipping boats, most loaded with slate from the many Snowdonia mines, into the Menai Straight. The larger more prominent lighthouse beacon was built in 1864 and had the advantage of illumination. In 1975 the newer lighthouse was superceded by a directional light placed on top of the Twr Bach beacon seen here.
A true case of newer is not always better !
Personally, I like Oporto, it is a relatively small city and which has about 250,000 inhabitants, although his metropolitan area, increases ten times its census.
The city itself is a broken leg, because there are no more than ten meter dash, everything else, are headlands, and constantly go up and down if you want to get an overview of the beauties that hides everywhere.
I have gone many times for work, but this time I did something I had long wanted to do.
Boating on the river and contemplate its beautiful rivera from the center of the Douro (Duero)
I made dozens of photos from a yacht to which I was invited by some friends and while they talked, ate and drank, I had absolute freedom to take pictures piecework.
This is one of the ones I like because I could portray the old part of the city that is slowly disappearing invaded by new and elegant buildings.
I was lucky because in the morning It had been raining cats and dogs and the river walk was in the air. At three o'clock abated and we could embark.

Personalmente me gusta mucho Oporto, es una ciudad relativamente pequeña ya que cuenta con unos 250.000 habitantes, aunque lo podríamos llamar su área metropolitana, multiplica por diez su censo.
La ciudad en sí misma, es un rompe piernas, pues no hay más de diez metros llanos, todo lo demás, son promontorios que hay que subir y bajar constantemente si quieres tener una visión global de las bellezas que esconde por doquier. No es que esté muy cuidada pero últimamente se están esforzando mucho en mantenerla lo más arreglada posible.
He ido muchas veces por cuestiones de trabajo, pero esta vez, hice algo que hacía mucho tiempo que deseaba hacer.
Pasear en barco por el rio y poder contemplar su bella rivera desde el centro del Douro (Duero)
Hice decenas de fotos desde un yate al que fui invitado por unos amigos y mientras ellos conversaban, comían y bebían, yo tuve absoluta libertad para tomar fotos a destajo.
Esta es una de las que más me gustan ya que pude retratar la parte antigua de la ciudad que poco a poco va desapareciendo invadida por edificios nuevos y más elegantes.
Tuve suerte, ya que por la mañana había llovido a cantaros y este paseo fluvial estuvo en el aire a las tres que amainó y pudimos embarcar.
I personally believes images can help fill in the gap for people who are isolated right now from friends and family.
Stay strong and positive.

Personally,i prefer not to edit.I like to get close for detail.I chase the challenge and when it pays off there is no better feeling.It's all in the preparation.
Personally, it reminds me a little of Lyon (on the Rhone, France)
made with stable diffusion,topaz and photoshop.
personally, I'm a little discouraged this year.
we're supposed to be celebrating freedom for all.

ORWO paper, darkened in PS.
I put the paper out late, around 6 pm and brought it in about 11 pm.
Personally, I prefer my beaches wild and windswept, but on the other hand, I do like shells. :)
For this week's Looking Close... on Friday! group theme, Spirals.
Black-Crowned Night Heron / Nachtreiher (Nycticorax nycticorax)
I couldn't personally tell if this was a chick of the same species, or if it was of one of the Cattle Egret or Little Egret chicks also nesting nearby (ID inputs welcome!). What's for sure is that it had well and truly been turned into a meal by this stage and this Black-Crowned Night Heron was wrestling with how to consume it. In this specific frame, the chick's head has been attempted first and is fully tucked away inside the predator's mouth. The circle of life continues...
I personally have never dated a Cinnamon but research tells me it is a girls name. Of course I love it in all types of cooking. If single girls on Flickr have this name my number is ---------.
Personally, I’m more biased towards the ‘69-70 Chargers, but the ‘71-72 models resonates with me just as much. I remember seeing these when I was little (these were manufactured before my time), and I was always infatuated with the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s, and the stories that owners of these vehicles have to tell are mesmerizing to say the very least. I was also more biased towards Plymouth in my younger days (my first two cars were from Plymouth), but the legacy the Charger has remains indescribable, at least to me. Again, I don’t know why, but these particular Chargers were just as drawn to me as their predecessors.
I personally would start with roses but add to the pallet hollyhocks, wisteria, phlox, lavender, fuchsias, geraniums, love-in-a-mist, stocks, dianthus, cosmos, peonies, sweet peas, lilac, poppies, aquilegia, daisies of all kinds and wild flowers.
OK, what is a Winton? Personally, I never heard of them, but they do have an interesting, but somewhat brief history. And one, near identical to the one posted above performed quite an accomplishment that the article below will reveal and describe...so, read on!
The Winton Motor Carriage Company was a pioneer United States automobile manufacturer based in Cleveland, Ohio. Winton was one of the first American companies to sell a motor car. In 1912, Winton became one of the first American manufacturers of diesel engines.
In 1896, Scottish immigrant Alexander Winton, owner of the Winton Bicycle Company, turned from bicycle production to an experimental single-cylinder automobile before starting his car company.
The company was incorporated on March 15, 1897. Its first automobiles were built by hand. Each vehicle had painted sides, padded seats, a leather roof, and gas lamps. B.F. Goodrich made the tires.
In 1903, Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson made the first successful automobile drive across the United States. On a $50 bet (equal to $1,750 today), he purchased a slightly used two-cylinder, 20 hp (15 kW) Winton touring car and hired a mechanic, Sewall K. Crocker (April 7, 1883 – April 22, 1913), to accompany him. Starting in San Francisco, California, ending in Manhattan, New York City, New York. The trip lasted 63 days, 12 hours, and 30 minutes, including breakdowns and delays while waiting for parts to arrive (especially in Cleveland.) The two men often drove miles out of the way to find a passable road, repeatedly hoisted the Winton up and over rocky terrain and mud holes with a block and tackle, or were pulled out of soft sand by horse teams. In 1903, there were only 150 miles of paved road in the entire country, all inside city limits. There were no road signs or maps. They once paid the exorbitant price of $5 for five gallons of gasoline ($178 in 2024 dollars). Jackson and Crocker followed rivers and streams, transcontinental railroad tracks, sheep trails, and dirt back roads. The car is now part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History after Jackson himself donated the vehicle to the museum where it can still be seen on display.
The 1904 Winton was a five-passenger tonneau-equipped tourer which sold for US$2,500.
Winton's flat-mounted water-cooled straight-twin engine, situated amidships of the car, produced 20 hp (15 kW). The channel and angle steel-framed car weighed 2,300 lb (1,000 kg).Winton continued to successfully market automobiles to upscale consumers through the 1910s, but sales began to fall in the early 1920s. This was due to the very conservative nature of the company, both in terms of technical development and styling. Only one sporting model was offered — the Sport Touring, with the majority of Wintons featuring tourer, sedan, limousine and town car styling. The Winton Motor Carriage Company ceased automobile production on February 11, 1924.
The Brass Headlights by Gray & Davis Manufacturing Company.
Gray & Davis, Inc. was a pioneer manufacturer of automobile electrical equipment with over 1000 employees across three manufacturing plants. The company’s main location was on the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but other plants were located in Amesbury, Massachusetts, and Detroit, Michigan. The company was founded in the late 19th century by president William Gray. It closed in 1926 after it was purchased by American Bosch (now the Ambac International Corporation), a company that manufactures diesel fuel injection systems. Gray and Davis auto parts, especially head lamps, have become a collectible on their own.

Personally I love this man made organic composition, it is an architecton with the dominant, it is the urban model abstract worked by nature. What do you think?
Another shot of a water drop, this time with a bit of colour in the background. Personally, I prefer my first attempt!
Personally, I think these buoys are a cool color sharp contrast in the landscape.

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
Those who know me personally will know I have a little van and like to travel around the UK for my photography. I recently spent some time in Brecon and West Wales for just under two weeks. And I really loved spending time focusing on photography again. Just getting through some of the pictures now and so I have lots of wildlife and landscapes stories to come. :)
This Image is from the first night where I walked up Pen Y Fan. I set off at 1am and only reached the peak at 6am as I was too distracted taking pictures of the stars on the way up! But I was just in time for a beautiful sunrise. :) It was seriously an amazing walk in the night and would highly recommend to anyone.
Having some problems with photoshop at the moment and it seems to not work or crash when I'm using it anyone else having problems?
This was taken between the Pecos River and Eagles Nest Canyon on US-90 in Texas. This view is from small rest area where I shutdown for the evening. Lucky me, I had the whole place to myself.
This shot was taken a few minutes later than the other one I posted back in March.
Here's a link if you want to jump to that one for comparison, or whatever. Personally, I like this one a little better, less color banding.
personally, i like blimp...it's fun word
but a serious job, detecting illegal flights into the usa, drug related mostly, from mexico, south america and the caribbean
this one was grounded by strong winds in king of arizona national wildlife refuge and may be grounded permanently by now, due to budget cuts and emerging new detection technology
a couple of links for those
say it again with me...blimp

It has become a tradition to photograph this field every year. Since it is only a few minutes away from my house, I visited this place a few weeks ago. Personally, I find it pretty cool, because every year I can try a new composition and look if it works and I hope you like this one here.

What I personally love about this image is you see Water as a Liquid, a Solid and a Gas. Wind creates a Texture to the surface of the Liquid form, Drifts in the Solid form and Movement in the Gas Form.
...I personally think, for various reasons, that the saying 'the camera never lies' is a bit suspect ...
...certainly if you were to take this collage at face value you would have a false impression of our back garden/yard...
...having shot these little flowers here and there, I paired them with spiders' webs to create the collage...
...but the general look of our plot is the same as all the neighbours' gardens - winter brown and gloomy green!
heartfelt thanks, as ever, for all your visits
A year in perspective - 2016 was a big one for me personally and professionally.
It has been a year with many high points – I won the award of Tasmanian Professional Engineer of the Year, which is a huge honour. I also returned to playing underwater hockey again after a long break, and my team won the A-grade pennant series this year. My business has also been very successful this year as well.
But the year was not without its lows, which included the death of my father and the death of an old friend of mine.
Photographically it hasn’t been one of my best years, I simply haven’t had the time to get to take anything amazing this year, mostly because of the pressures of running my business. Much of my photostream this year has been the result of editing images from the past few years, along with occasional business trips where I’ve taken my camera with me.
This image of Silver Falls above and below the water at the foothills of Mt Wellington was taken from a cheap Panasonic underwater camera that I got for Christmas - i've got plans of some underwater photography, as underwater is an environment i've always been at home in. Watch this space I guess.
What has been amazing for me is watching all of my children get into photography in a big way. Christmas saw two of them get new cameras, so I can’t wait to teach them as much as I can and watch their photographic creativity evolve. My eldest son opened his Flickr account in January 2016 when he turned 13 (the minimum age for Flickr), so expect some amazing things from him in 2017 - he's here: www.flickr.com/photos/139706324@N04
In January I set a Flickr goal to reach 7 million views by the end of the year. I had to re-evaluate that when I passed that figure around the middle of the year. I reset that target to 10 million views and it looks like I’ll fall just short of that with around 9.8 million total views. My last Explored image was in September, so if there were just one or two more images showcased in Explore since then I would have made that target relatively easily. Still an amazing thought that I’ve had nearly 10 million views when it feels like yesterday I was excited about having 10 thousand total views, which I often achieve in a single day now.
So thank you everyone for your support and encouragement along the way. I wish all of you a happy and safe new year - I look forward to seeing your amazing work through 2017.
Personally I would not have trusted the ice last weekend but a few determined fishermen were out in the harbor. This is the most ice I have seen in the harbor this past season.
Personally, I'm a little bored by aurora photos now, but when you're there in person, it's hard not to get a bit excited. An incredible display tonight - the northern lights clearly visible with the naked eye. With not a cloud in the sky (a rarity in these parts) and drama in every direction, it was hard to know where to point the camera!

personally, i believe there is more spirit outside church walls. but i still appreciate the beauty of these inner sanctums!
For me personally, the title I chose for this image not only applies to my significant other but is also how I feel in the company of my few close friends, my 3 wonderfully entertaining cats - well, ALL animals really, and especially when I'm horse riding. Similarly there are places that make me feel more alive - France in particular, in fact most of Europe really. Mountains, meadows, misty-mornings, thunderstorms, countryside, lakes and open oceanfront all make me feel this way.
And it's how I feel spending time out & about with my trusty camera :-)
Personally I like a "super zoom" for the flexibility.
I don't want to carry a lot of gear in the street and you normally don't have time to change lenses if a good shot just happens.
(I have an Olympus 12-200mm and a Nikon 18-300mm)

DSC_8256. Hummingbird!
Personally I like to keep some distance from the bird to show how tiny they really are. Just look at the small flowers (approx. 1 cm) to understand the size of the flying acrobat!
I have no idea what type of Hummingbird this is.....

Some images from our visit to Giethoorn in the Netherlands.
This village has no roads. The nearest main road is a good half a mile away, so most travel by boat around the village. There are some cycle paths as well as a few footpaths.
It is one of the locations (along with Birmingham in the UK) which claims to be the Venice of the North. Personally I think that denigrates both locations to compare one to the other.
Quite a fascinating place
I found lots of photos of buildings in my archives for the Gursky prompt, but I always seem to shoot buildings on a slant...I really like this one from Boston. :o)))

Personally, I don't find anything querulous in the deafening song of Cicadatra querula. It sounds rather happy and optimistic.
** Another architectural jewel from Seville this is a little older than the Setas de Sevilla .For me personally this was undoubtably this most beautiful structure in Seville. I took this quite early in the morning the low angled sun caught the details quite well i think
The most Iconic building in Seville, the magnificent Giralda was the tallest building in the city for over 800 years, dominating the skyline at 103m. Originally built in 1195 as the minaret of the Aljama mosque, it is now the bell-tower of the cathedral, and is recognised as World Heritage by UNESCO.
The name Giralda means "she who turns" - girar is to turn in Spanish, after the weather vane on top of the tower, a statue representing faith called El Giraldillo.
The minaret was the culmination of Almohad architecture and served as a model for those at the dynasty's imperial capitals of Rabat and Marrakesh. It was used both for calling the faithful to prayer (the traditional function of a minaret) and as an observatory. The Giralda was highly venerated by the Moorish rulers, who wanted to destroy the minaret before the Christian conquest of the city in 1248, rather than have it used for a religion other than Islam, but were prevented by the threat of King Alfonso X that "if they removed a single stone, they would all be put the sword".
The structure took 12 years to build and derives its simply beauty from the shadows formed by b Moolocks of brick trellis work, different on each side, and relieved by a succession of arched niches and windows. In its days as a minaret, the tower had three or four copper balls on top of the square structure, of decreasing size, topped by a crescent moon.
This ornamentation was destroyed in an earthquake after the city's reconquest, in the mid-14th century, and replaced by a small bell-tower and cross. In the 16th century the current bell-tower with its four storeys and weather vane was added, producing a strange hybrid of Moorish and Renaissance architecture.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

OK, what is a Winton? Personally, I never heard of them, but they do have an interesting, but somewhat brief history. And one, near identical to the one posted above performed quite an accomplishment that the article below will reveal and describe...so, read on!
