Found a great new part of the woods ... reckon it's normally boggy as hell ... but the last two months of hardly any rain meant it was easy to access ... used the Helios 44-2 and it's rather swirly bokeh at open aperture to add to the effect of enclosure
Employed my tried and tested approach of something pretty in the foreground ...
damn! did I just give all my secrets away??
Church Lane, Ledbury, Herefordshire.
Church Lane is probably the oldest street in Ledbury. It was originally the main street leading from the church into town. It is at the crossroads of the ‘kings highway’ and the east/west track from Hereford Cathedral to Ledbury Parish Church. It has been the site of continuous human activity for more than a thousand years.
With cobbles underfoot and flanked by overhanging medieval buildings it provides an atmospheric experience that takes you back to days long gone. Leading from the Market House up the parish church the lane is home to two museums and a medieval painted room, a real ale pub, tea rooms and a handmade chocolate company.
Along the Narrows Trail in Zion National Park there are stretches were if you were caught in a flash flood your butt would be toast. This was one of them. Luckily for me this day the flash flood threat level was none due to lack of rain in the area for days.
One of the entrances to The Wave, Coyote Buttes North, Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona. The way in is just as breath-taking as the destination. The entire place is geologic art in the making since the Jurassic.

For a bit of a change of pace (abrupt shift?) , I will upload a few more images from our May trip to The Big Apple. The Dey St. Concourse at the Fulton Street Transit Center in Manhattan is a marked departure from subway architecture of days gone by, and it's strange to see anything to do with the NYC subways so deserted.
To quote Benjamin Kabak in 2nd Street Sagas, "It certainly doesn’t look like the subway system with which New Yorkers have a love-hate relationship. That alone is a step in the right direction, albeit a very, very expensive one." For more about the Fulton Street Transit Center, go to secondavenuesagas.com/2014/11/09/a-look-inside-the-new-fu...
Hope everyone has a good Tuesday. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

In one word, it's steampunk. I wanted to emphasize its structural beauty of the underworld in black and white.
More than thirty long pipes are stretched around the ceiling of the underground passageway located in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo. Some of them look old and rusty, but there is a strong indication that they are working for certain purposes that is not sure for ordinary people passing by.
Just a spot that caught my eye as we were walking through the Cotswold town of Stow on the Wold, I like the patterns of chipped and broken stonework both around the archway and inside the passageway.
I would love to have explored it to see where it went But I respected the private sign on the wall.
We found this little town very interesting where I took possibly my favorite shots of our trip to come in a couple of days.

Blue Monday. Sometimes I think an image is worth applying a tone to it - I like to use dark sepia, yellow, dark green or in this case, blue. Whilst I liked the original b/w shot, I flip and flop between liking this toned version. Today I like it, tomorrow I may prefer the original which I may also post.
