This charming stone shop was just begging for a more storybook approach. So I moved my edit in a direction I love and worked the old fashioned way with textures and color grades to create this painterly scene.
This tiny village of Muker boasts a pub (up for sale), a store and tea shop and even a Literary Institute....who knew...and the most beautiful surrounding landscape one could ask for.

We made an amazing discovery on our shooting expedition a few days ago. We found a "tractor graveyard". Unbelievable collection of broken down farm equipment. The machines looked like characters to me and I have decided to name them. This is my first upload from the shoot and I have called him Harvey. Hope you like him. Over time I will introduce you to more of these retired laborers.

Do I ever echo her sentiment! Everyday is a bad hair day. Who transported Michigan to the tropics? Hate it...but September is around the corner so maybe a reprieve soon. Meantime, I just wear my straw cowboy hat...:-)))

The stone is grained,
Smooth as walnut turned on a lathe,
Or hollowed in clefts and collars where the pebbles
Shake up and down like marbles in a bottle.
Here the chiselling edges of the waves
Scoop long fluted grooves, and here the spray
Pits and pocks the blocks like rain on snow.
Slowly the rock un-knows itself.

Despite the promises of the aurora apps, the Northern Lights eluded me yet again last night, but the wonder of this vast lake, the perfect evening temperatures and my sweet companion made the late night vigil worth the effort.

The building is named after Dr. John Redcliffe. He offered £ 40,000 Pounds to build the library. The word Camera was taken over from the Latin language which means “building” or “vault.” Since 1860 the Radcliffe Camera is part of the Bodleian Library.

Point Betsie Lighthouse is the oldest standing structure in Benzie County, built in 1858, marks the all-important entrance to southern end of the Manitou Passage, a once-vital maritime shipping channel. Although the lane is no longer used by large commercial vessels, the operating light signal remains a US Coast Guard aid to navigation to this day, and the site shines as a treasured landmark to mariners and landlubbers alike. ~Pure Michigan

As a city of monument statues, London certainly gets first prize. However, the most iconic of all is the Lord Nelson Column in Trafalgar Square. I had the good fortune to be there on a day of skies designed for photographers.

Located in a strategic point from where the city of Venice interacts with the lagoon, Punta della Dogana, transformed in the 17th century from salt storage into ancient mercantile customs of Serenissima, is a triangular shaped building, like the prow of a ship, which is dominated by a bronze sphere held by two statues of atlas and topped by Lady Luck who rotates in the direction of the wind.

From the Bay City, Michigan Tall Ship Festival.
Picton Castle was originally built as a motorized fishing trawler in 1928. She was built along with four other trawlers for the same company and operated out of Swansea, Wales. The ship was named after the Welsh castle of the same name.
In August 1939, the Royal Navy requisitioned the trawler for use in World War II and refit her as a minesweeper during the Second World War. Following World War II, the ship was renamed Dolmar and worked as a freighter in the North Sea and Baltic Sea.
During the early 1990s, Daniel Moreland acquired the ship while seeking a vessel to convert to a barque. With the help of a small crew he brought her across the Atlantic Ocean, eventually ending up in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia where she began her multimillion-dollar refit. Picton Castle is still captained by Daniel Moreland.
Picton Castle's first world circumnavigation voyage took place from 1997-1999. She has since sailed around the world six more times, for a total of seven global circumnavigations.

We purchased these beautiful carved mushrooms at a little store connected with the Honister Slate Mine, at the top of Honister Pass. The shop was full of interesting items.
The miniature pumpkins are from our local farm market here at home and they keep for months, so a handy item for still lifes.

Chatsworth house is thought to be the inspiration for Jane Austin's Pemberley. I hope you have a minute to read the next paragraph where you will see a funny personal story that connects.
I am the administrator for a property in the US that besides the usual outdoor amenities, also includes a 130 year old castle. It is all private and owned by the surrounding homeowners. About 12 years ago I got a call from Hollywood location scouts asking if they could use our castle for a film. They didn't tell me the name of the film, but they said that Colin Firth was to be starring in it. The Association president, Cindy, and I decided it would need to by approved by the entire Board. Sadly they felt it would have too much impact on the privacy of the members and they were no doubt right. However, when the decision to decline was made, Cindy and I just looked at each other and exclaimed, "But Mr Darcy!"
"Elizabeth was distressed. She felt that she had no business at Pemberley, and was obliged to assume a disinclination for seeing it. The possibility of meeting Mr. Darcy, while viewing the place, instantly occurred. It would be dreadful! She blushed at the very idea..." ~Jane Austin

The sun wanted to shine but couldn't quite fight its way through the clouds on this very short day after the winter solstice. It threw an unusual cast of light, not quite hazy but creating colors that were not typical of the Lake Michigan shoreline.
We had a perfect day of shooting as Mark and I made our way down the West Michigan shore with Dustin. We did commiserate on how much time it was going to take us to go through the images when we got home as we couldn't seem to stop clicking.

Tynemouth Lighthouse held its place on the edge of things, catching the sun’s early rays. And on the headland above the North Sea, a patch of green lit up like it had been saving its energy for this very moment.
Just beyond the frame, the weathered remains of Tynemouth Priory rise into the sea light. Once a place of prayer and power, now it’s a suggestion more than a structure. Still the sea comes and goes, tracing the same old lines along the shore a reminder of the transitory nature of man's efforts.

I confess that I am not a massive fan of modern art. However this masterpiece that inspired the Cubism movement has kept me captive for ages as I stood in front of it in the Chicago Art Institute. Photographs of the painting do not capture what Seurat has accomplished with this. However, if I want a taste of it, I just need to visit the little village of Saugatuck on Lake Michigan to see a reproduction, on of all things the public restrooms. I have wondered what Seurat would have made of that replication and the choice of venue...
There is even more incongruity in seeing this beautiful summer scene against the winter backdrop.

Yesterday first day off in months. We did a bit of "barn chasing", but the best shoot turned out to be the trestle bridge.
The 420-foot bridge was constructed about 1900 by area Civil War veterans who had worked in an engineering regiment that specialized in building bridges and railroads. The bridge was originally built using square timbers. However, after a railroad accident in 1912, the square timbers were replaced with round timbers. Other than that, the bridge hasn’t changed much. It’s still in use, and visitors can see the occasional train pass 35 feet overhead.
The exif data is crazy...no idea what happened. It was an old 20mm prime lens at f9...don't know the rest.
