During a fall trip to Capitol Reef National Park we hiked up a small wash into a canyon that cuts into the mesa to the west of Cathedral Valley. The sand ripples seen here testify to an earlier torrential rain derived from one of the atmospheric river events that hit the west coast and traveled across the southwestern U.S. The dark clouds on the horizon later provided us with a small taste of that event, when they spawned a sudden and violent thunderstorm, which began with lightning hitting one of the rock spires a quarter mile away. Numerous small flash floods poured out of the side channels and joined in this channel, though thankfully did not pose a threat to our well being.
I could always tell this Great Grey Owl from the others because of his facial expression which was really just the feather work around the mouth and not a frown at all :-) From Winters' past....

Summer recollections, Walking along the street.
Despite the fact the age of steam is long past, it is still common to speak of ships "steaming past". In the same way we refer to an earlier era when we say we are going "sailing" on a ship.
The motion blur on this photograph actually allows us to make a calculation of the speed of the "Spirit of Tasmania I" as it moves past us in the Mersey River. To clarify what I said yesterday, it is important to get everything else in sharp relief so that the only blur we see is the movement of the ship. So I've done some calculations.
The "Spirit of Tasmania I" is 194.33m long (637ft 7in). It is possible to see a single light that appears as a bar representing the distance travelled in the time of exposure. That's the simple formula. The one obvious example is the green light on the top starboard deck. [In the next photograph you will see that this is indeed a single point of green light.] My rough estimate is that this bar represents about 6m. Now given the exposure time here is 0.6 of a second, that equates to 10m per second or 36km/h (19.4 knots). From the river bank it looks even faster, but that speed sounds about right, as the ship slows to make its way into the narrow channel.
On the walk home after my visit to the Botanic Gardens, to catch up on what has been happening in the city since my last visit. September 13, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.

The barn and home on the Strunk-Nyssen property near Shakopee, Minnesota. The home was originally built by the early owners of the Shakopee Brewery. The Brewery was opened by Herman Strunk in 1856 the same year the house was built.

Over the past couple of days I have been in Scotland along the Fife Coastal trail and there are some beautiful little harbours in this corner of Scotland. Though I thought Crail was by far the most picturesque of those I saw. Certainly worth a visit if you are ever in the area.
Sorry for the lack of activity here on Flickr but recently I have been puttting a lot of effort into my motorsport feeds on here and also on Instagram. Not everyones cup of tea but a great hobby of mine.
Many thanks for taking the time to view this and other images in my stream. Instagram kev_mac_66
Past couple of years was incredibly difficult for many of us, yet, as a human race, together we have marched on.
On the years ahead we will face many more challenges, but again, as a human race we will move forward.
The irony is that many in the privileged world is denying the opportunity they have in hand. Whereas, the underprivileged can only wait and watch and suffer.
Many of us will have to pay the price for their sins, perhaps not in this lifetime but the next. Many of them are already paying the price in this lifetime for the sins of ours.
From all of this, we will move on, at least for now. In all of this we forgot that Knowledge and Wisdom are not the same. Today we all know everything, yet be none the wiser.
No one has seen tomorrow, but we all know it will come. I wish we all could do something better today such that we have a better tomorrow.
I wish all of you a Very Happy New Year of 2022. Lets act together, however small it is, to make a better tomorrow.
With this I will post the last image of this year, which I was extremely fortunate to witness and capture. I have already posted a few of them before, but this one is the culmination of exposure blending of 51 images (17 images each of -1, 0, +1 EV).
Once again, Best Wishes for a Happy New Year.
Van 4 t/m 6 september 2024 konden mijn treinenspotmaat en ik eindelijk weer eens samen op pad. De weervoorspellingen voor ons "treinenland" Tsjechië leken drie dagen op een rij perfect en qua werk en privé pastte het ook net. Er stond weer (te) veel op het programma en er konden weer lekker veel treinen en stekken worden afgestreept. Er werd cargo gescoord aan de hoofdlijnen en steeds meer verdwijnende klassieke tractie aan de "kleine" diesellijntjes werd tussendoor ook meegepakt.
Zaterdag 7 september reden er rond Praag veel historische dieseltreinen in het kader van de PID-dagen. Er werden o.a. een 751, een 744 en een 820 ingezet. Op de lijn tussen Hostivice en Praha-Dejvice werd één van de helaas weinige geschikte stekken opgezocht om de 751 te fotograferen. Een andere stek bij het fraaie station Praha-Ruzyně was niet bruikbaar, omdat er teveel schaduw is rond deze tijd van het jaar. Deze lijn gaat de komende jaren ingrijpend veranderen door de ombouw van de diesellijn naar een elektrische lijn met als eindpunt de vlieghaven van Praha.
Hier zien we de zeer fraaie Bardotka T478 1148 (751 448) met Os 91171 Hostivice- Praha-Dejvice bij Řepy passeren op 7-9-2024. De locomotief is met bouwjaar 1969 een echt klassieker! Achterop loopt de 749 250 mee die op de terugweg de tractie levert. Heel mooi om deze prachtige locomotieven te horen en te zien!

The "QR code for the place" on the wall outside the window is a new-born relic of the past, after six months of monitoring the lives of the residents, as China has completely abandoned its anti-epidemic restrictions.
Theoretically, each customer was supposed to scan the "QR code for the place" with his/her smartphone, which then displayed a so-called "health QR code": if it was green, it meant there is no problem, if it was yellow, the customer would be refused and, if it was red, everyone, whether the customer with the red QR code or the shop assistants who were present, would be arrested and taken to a concentration camp for quarantine.
RHS Hyde Hall, Rettendon, Essex
Over the past 18 months I have posted many images from Hyde Hall and now I’m going to post another series, this time called ‘A day in the Life’. As the title suggests I’m posting what I think are the best of that day. These are just some taken on 31/07/2016, I have split the posting, too many for one hit. Hope you like them.
