The supermoon rising over Lake Michigan with the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse in the foreground. As I am sure many of you already know, this was the largest and brightest full moon since 1948, and it won’t be this big and bright again until 2034.
Quite a bit of planning went into this photograph. I used Google Earth on my computer and the PhotoPills and Sky Guide apps on my mobile phone to precisely plan my location and timing. The lighthouse was approximately 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) from my tripod placement, so my DOF chart told me that if I focused on the lighthouse, the moon would also be in focus (infinity) at 400mm and f/5.6.
I was working with a 30-megapixel image, so I was able to crop generously to accentuate the scale, and I still had a very large file to work with. The sky was clear. I let the moon rise above most of the horizon haze before taking the picture. It was a beautiful sight!
Okay, it's a stretch, but the red and green made this shot a bit Christmasy, the placement of these twigs landed right on the head of this American Robin, so I'm going with it!

Another hazy sunrise from Islandhill. The water was flat calm giving perfect reflections. Beautiful to just stand and watch :)
Probably one of the prettiest I've ever seen...and soon to be eaten. A touch of processing here of course. The SOOC in comments for the originalists.
One of many photos taken on the LSRC on Aug 12, 2016. Many thanks to the great employees of the Lake State Railway for setting this up for a bunch of railroaders.

Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to view, comment or fave.
Thanks to Flickr I was made aware of this place this year.
Since then I've seen it in books too - so I'm sorry to say it's a bit of an iconic or cliched shot which I always prefer to avoid but they keep calling to me unfortunately :(
Even though I spent many holidays in Plymouth for the first 16 years of my life & most of my summers in Devon for the last 15 years, this week was the first time I'd ever been to this spot - great how Flickr lets us see so many places through everyone else's eyes (& lenses) & inspires us to get out there & explore.
When I first saw pictures of this, the perspective made me think the post was about 18 inches high - the kind of thing you sometimes get in a garden to mark the grave of a small family pet like a hamster, guinea pig or gerbil - but it's actually very big.
Commonly known as the Windy Post this chunk of granite is around 7 feet tall but despite the misleading name the reason it is leaning is not down to the wild Dartmoor winds.
You see, Dartmoor ponies are quite poorly equipped to deal with itchiness.
Unlike human hands and fingers which are extremely sophisticated both in terms of placement and application of pressure - ponies hooves are far too unwieldy & crude for localised scratching - and of course they can't reach all over the pony's body.
The only other major tool in the pony's scratching armoury is a vigorously whipping tail action, but even this together with hooves leaves large areas unscratchable.
For this reason Dartmoor ponies have been known to rub themselves against this post to relieve any urgently itchy areas - being intelligent animals they usually rub downhill allowing gravity to apply pressure and do most of the work as they rub gently backwards and forwards.
Over the last several hundred years this has caused the post to lean downwards :)
I just managed to get here about an hour before sunset and couldn't believe my luck that there were some great clouds & crepuscular Rays appearing to highlight the post!
Shortly after this the rain came down very heavily & the sunset was very poor but was grateful for this light & reflections.
- must dash my wife has just caught me on Flickr again which means another spanking is imminent :(
The CP Rail Smith Falls, Ontario yard job sets a pair of SD's in front of the offices. These two units will be heading west on the Chalk River Sub. Man, it's still wicked cold!

Macro Mondays contribution 21 November 2016 - "Stitch"
There's no disguising what this is or what I've done with it!! Apart from some of the filter work done using the Nik Software suite - particularly the vignette blur tool.
Same trees as yesterday, with varying subject placement and crop. Birds don't generally give framing options, so it's nice to find a subject that allows exploration of placement. TBH, I think that all of these are attractive options.

There are a number of picnic tables scattered around this end of the lake. There's a put in and an incredibly large parking lot. Mostly the area is used for fishing, but I will often take lunch here.
I've also taken photos here for years. One of my first rolls shot in eastern Washington used this location.
Over the last decade, they've replaced the tabletop which was rotting out and a bench where they had been none.
The park is well maintained, but very short staffed. There's not much work to be done, really. Not that it's an easy task, of course. The work to do there is hard work.
But it's one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I know it's not the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone. The beauty is subtle. It's a lived in sort of beauty.
It's the kind of beauty that requires solitude. The beauty might not exists if it were heavily trafficked. The roads would need to be paved and widened to accommodate buses and RVs. And the beauty of spring mornings walking the faint trace of coyote paths might dissipate if they were transfigured into well-maintained hiking trails and a line of cars waiting at the trailhead.
I realize this is a selfish love - even more selfish that love often is. But here is my church, my religion, my faith, and I have never been an evangelist.
