Il mio cavalletto non lo abbandono, è solo in attesa.
Sempre.
So fare quel che posso, quel che posso è questo.
Quel che io ho sempre fatto in ogni caso.
Ho una grande macchina, fa più lei che me, o fa quel che so fare io con il suo potenziale che non uso al meglio.
Lo faccio per me, per uscire fuori da cose enormi che possono schiacciare chiunque.
Non è un gioco, è il mio rifugio.
E il mio rifugio è la musica, le cose mie.
La mia famiglia, lo sport...

* A second shot from Spurn Point this time looking inland. Spurn is well known as somewhere to see fantastic sunsets . However this evening it was not that spectacular but still rather enjoyable to see . This was taken looking across the Humber estuary towards the East Yorkshire “ mainland “ . There is not a lot of water in the shot just some very wet mudbanks .
If you are interested in the area there is a description of Spurn Point in the text of my previous post

Isn't it just like Heaven
When You walk into the room
There's not a thing that's hidden
When every eye is on You
Can't get enough of Your presence
It's the perfect point of view
Isn't it just like, just like
Just like Heaven?
Hmm, come a little closer, stay a little longer
Hmm, I can't get enough of You
Hmm, come a little closer, stay a little longer
Hmm, I can't get enough of You
Doesn't it sound like Heaven
When You're singing over me
There's not a voice more constant
Your melodies, they never cease
Here I will stand in Your presence
In my true identity
Doesn't it sound like, yeah, it sounds like
Just like Heaven

DEW POINT
The dew point is the temperature at which dew would form assuming all other conditions remained the same. The dew point is a function of the air temperature and humidy. The dew point temperature can never be higher than the air temperature. If the dew point temp and air temp are the same, than the humidity must be 100%.
This is the seed stage of that horrendous Borage plant that's in my front garden. Be careful when handling these, not sure if I mentioned this before but I am allergic to the fluid in the spines, causing dermatitis and apparently it's relatively common, however that said it's a very photogenic plant when you explore it fully and a treasure for macro such as this.
I trust everyone has a great weekend and so as always, thank you! :)

Fall is coming, hurray. Been a hot, smoky summer. Looking forward to a few good photo safaris when the colors are turning and the wildlife is on the move.
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Lowell Point recreational trailhead located in Seward, Alaska. The beginning of a awesome hike to south beach and the old military fort I have yet to take.
Shortly after shooting the lighthouse posted before this, and after the sun had set, I was shooting some long exposures on the water and looked up and saw this amazing sky. It only lasted a few minutes but it was one of the best I've ever seen.

Pigeon Point lighthouse is one of the tallest lighthouses in America and the tallest on the west coast. It stands 115 feet and perched on a 35-foot cliff in Pescadero, California. It was built in 1871 and still an active US Coast Guard aid.
A combination of strong wind and bad technique left this shot quite mushy, but the brief sunset light with lots of dust in the air made for a good scene nonetheless. Grimes Point is an archaeological site near Fallon NV with some of the oldest petroglyphs around. The NV Rock Art Foundation notes that this site dates back 8,000 years, when the shoreline of ancient lake Lahontan filled the desert floor below.
Morning walk to Silver Point from Cannon Beach, Oregon. Jockey Cap can be seen beyond the tidal pools.
Hexagonal in shape, Gibraltar Point Lighthouse was built of limestone from the Queenston Quarry near Niagara River and originally stood sixteen metres (fifty-two feet) tall, until it was raised nine metres (thirty-feet) in 1832 to a total height of twenty-five metres (eight-two feet). No light was shown from the lighthouse from May 30 until nearly the end of June in 1932 while the lighthouse was being modified.
John P. Rademuller was hired as the first keeper of the lighthouse, and he served until he met a tragic end, as reported in the January 14, 1815 edition of theYork Gazette:
Died on the evening of the 2nd of January, J.P. Rademuller, keeper of the lighthouse on Gibraltar Point. From circumstances, there is moral proof of his having been murdered. If the horrid crime admits of aggravation when the inoffensive and benevolent character of the unfortunate sufferer are considered, his murder will be pronounced most barbarous and inhuman. The parties lost with him are the proposed perpetrators and are in prison.
Three months later, the Gazette reported, “No conviction of the supposed murderers of the late J.P. Rademuller.” Though the details of what happened that night in January 1815 have been lost, legend has it that soldiers from the York garrison visited Gibraltar Point that night to obtain beer from Keeper Rademuller. Some accounts say the keeper refused to sell to the soldiers, and others claim he overcharged them, but all agree that the soldiers became enraged, killed the keeper, and disposed of his body.
