Last weekend in North Devon, This is the path that follows the cliff edge around to the stunning baggy point , The path on the left takes you down to the rocks but with big surf hitting the rocks not a very good idea to go down there. Sadly we did not get all the way around as time was against us .
Many thanks for taking my previous image into explore much appreciated all your kind faves and comments .
Two years ago in early November I bought my current and first DSLR camera. I had not done any night shooting prior to my coming to the annual lighting of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse's Fresnel Lens. I was a nervous wreck trying to get set up, and a fellow photographer even attempted to sabotage me by telling me to do things that made my shots worse.
I came away that evening with a decent shot, but because I used a high ISO a very grainy shot. Well, it's been two years and they re-lit the lens tonight and I was able to try getting that shot one more time.
I met some wonderful people and got to hang with my friend Paul and even saw another flickr contact I haven't seen in a while.
It was a fantastic evening!

Noch zwei Monate sind es bis zum Beginn meiner Fotoausstellung (Natur und Menschenwerk).
Immer wieder bin ich auf der Suche nach Motiven, bei denen Natur verändert, verdrängt, kultiviert wird... zurück schlägt oder vereinnahmt.
In diesem Bild scheint es, als ob die Mauer mit den Fichten ein stillschweigendes Abkommen über eine friedliche Koexistenz geschlossen habe...

Located between Dead Horse Point and Island in the Sky, Marlboro Point looks out on two joined rock prominences and Shafer Canyon, with the Needles District of Canyonlands and Abajo Mountains off in the distance. The sunlit rock is mostly Wingate sandstone, deposited as massive sand dunes around 200 million years ago.
The view from Marlboro point doesn't pick up the warmest light at sunset due to a fairly close canyon rim to the west (right), but does look lovely in the golden hour light, and after sunset (or at sunrise) when clouds light up in warm colors. A storm had moved off in the early afternoon, and by sunset the sky rapidly cleared, so this was the best light I got.
The origin of the name of the point is sketchy- it doesn't appear on any official USGS documents nor is it mentioned in any of the place name sources I found. A photo in a Smithsonian web page suggests this is where the original cigarette ad was filmed, but I've found no support for that (and spent too much time looking at commercials to evaluate the claim). My guess is that someone thought this resembled "Marlboro country" and named it accordingly.
This is a two shot hdr panorama of Mt. Borah (12,662 ft., 3859 m), Idaho's highest peak. The line at the base of the range is a scarp or scar which occurred along a major fault, 26 miles long and 7 miles deep. The most recent earthquake occurred on Oct.28, 1983 and was 7.3 on the Richter scale and was felt for over 500 miles.
As a result of this quake, Mount Borah rose 10 inches and the valley sunk 9 feet! New springs and craters or "sand boils" erupted in the valley resulting in the largest deluge of water ever recorded after an earthquake in the United States, some 400 billion gallons of water, gushed forth!

The Douse Point Range Lighthouse in Murray River, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Built in 1899 and decommissioned in 1984.
A night hike led me to this view of the sandstone formations at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. In the gulch the eroded ground was very hard as if packed by a steam roller. The mounds of sandstone are off limits to hiking. So with respect to the land, I snapped some panoramas from the gulch. The moon wasn't due out for another 2.5 to 3 hours, and the wind was picking up. It was getting colder and I was getting hungry.
A 5 shot panorama of the foreground with a 12mm ultra wide lens, and 10 shot panorama of the night sky shot at 28mm (DX) lens. The sky was shot at Mojave National Preserve in April 2017. The main foreground was shot in December 2015. Edited in Lightroom, auto stitched in Microsoft ICE, and layered in Corel Paintshop.
On a clear night in Death Valley a lot of stars appear after twilight. Even in Dec when most of the Milky Way is below the horizon, it's sill visible going across the sky.
Here's a link to my Death Valley Video:
Thanks for viewing.
Storm chasing in Colorado, 2014.
Doing 70mph off road while stood out of the sunroof holding a camera gave some interesting results.

Tenby Point on a cloudy afternoon. This was taken early afternoon which I am finding a good time for contrasty Black and white conversion. It was humid and things were building up to thunderstorms later in the afternoon. I was using a 6 stop ND filter to get a longer exposure and smooth out the water.
Swanage, Dorset UK.
The Wellington clock tower is a structure that stands on the seafront at Swanage in Dorset, England. It was originally built by the Commissioners for Lighting the West Division of Southwark at the southern end of London Bridge in 1854. It was intended as a memorial to the recently deceased Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, though funds proved insufficient to provide a statue of the man at the top of the tower, as had been originally intended. It housed a clock with four faces that were illuminated from within and a small telegraph office. Within 10 years the structure was overshadowed by the construction of nearby railway structures and became an obstruction to traffic using the bridge. It was disassembled in 1867.
The structure was saved by the Swanage-based contractor George Burt and shipped back to his hometown, without the clock mechanism. He gifted it to fellow contractor Thomas Docwra who erected it in the grounds of his house at Peveril Point. Later owners removed the spire in 1904, though the structure remains a prominent landmark in the town and was granted grade II protection as a listed building in 1952.

A very cold afternoon at The Point, Portsmouth, England.Too cold for a beer so I went to The Canteen by the Round Tower and enjoyed a very good caffe latte and some cake instead of going to the Still & West pub which is pictured.HSS.
At the grand old age of 40 something, I think I may well have cracked this public speaking malarkey! Usually dissolve in a puddle of nerves, but felt something weirdly close to enjoyment yesterday afternoon. How did that happen?
A quick stop off at the Point of Ayr lighthouse a couple of weeks ago. I was pretty uninspired until my models kindly posed for me 😁
