One of the many Glaciated rocks that can be found laying around the Cumbrian valleys .
This was one that can be found along the Honister pass .
I do find it fascinating to think that ice has moved these rocks , some are massive !
This one was prob six or seven feet hight and must easily weigh a tun or three :)

Originally built between 1793 and 1797 during the Second Spanish Period, this Spanish Colonial and Neoclassical-style cathedral is the fourth church to occupy a prominent position at the heart of the city of St. Augustine. The original church, built of flammable materials, stood from 1565 until 1586, when it was burned during an attack by English Privateer Sir Francis Drake. Not even a year later, the church was rebuilt of palm logs, with a straw roof, which succumbed to fire in 1599. In 1605, thanks to a tithe from Spain, a timber church was constructed, which stood until a failed English attack on the city in 1702 by James Moore, then-governor of Carolina colony. There were attempts to rebuild the church during the First Spanish Period, starting in 1707, but these went nowhere, and the money intended for the church’s reconstruction were misallocated by corrupt officials. Instead, during the remainder of the First Spanish Period, mass was held in the St. Augustine Hospital. Following the transfer of governance of Florida to the British in 1763, the need for a new Catholic church was nonexistent, as the catholic population of the colony fled to other Spanish colonies. At the start of the Second Spanish Period in 1784, the need for a new church became more apparent, and work on the current cathedral’s Coquina stone walls began in 1793. The facade of the church features Neoclassical elements around the front doorway, with the Spanish Colonial style being employed on the roofline and limited fenestration on the front facade. The church stood in its original configuration until a fire in 1887 destroyed the timber roof structure and did major damage to the interior. Following the fire, Henry Flagler led the effort to have the cathedral rebuilt, with James Renwick, Jr. designing an expansion of the old building, giving it a rectangular cruciform layout, and adding the Spanish Renaissance-style bell tower and European-style transept to the building. The interior was rebuilt to feature exposed decorative timbers that supported the roof structure, and a decorative polychromatic tile floor. The building has since received a few more additions, which house a chapel, service areas, and offices, as well as a building to the rear of the cathedral along Treasury Street, built in the Mediterranean Revival style, which houses the offices of the Diocese of St. Augustine. Today, the cathedral remains a prominent landmark in the city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and listed as a National Historic Landmark as part of the St. Augustine Town Plan Historic District in 1970.

Is it because of what happened in 1989 that the tian'an men square is full of security forces? Or maybe just a way to show that the people here has no reason to feel in danger? I would better consider the first option but I guess the official reason won't match with my guess...

In the most unfavorable terrain bumps you can be forced to acrobatics and to the most disparate positions.
Der Bahnhof von Annaburg macht auch aus dieser Position eine gute Figur. Wenn die Schatten für die Bahnhofs-Standardaufnahme zu lang werden, muss man in der Gleis-Botanik ein paar Schritte nach hinten gehen und erhält dann diesen Blick. 248 033 rauscht mit einem Silozug heran - weitestgehend bestehend aus Wagen, die man sonst nur aus dem berühmten Bernburger Sodazug kennt.

I wanted to capture something different to the usual bluebell carpet/green woodland shots. I tried a few things out and I really like how this one worked. I've seen wildlife photographers do this sort of thing by getting down low and using a heavily out of focus foreground. I like the contrast in colours here and the simplicity of it.
A change of angle and position after the first shot. Crashing waves relentlessly batter the coastline at Trevose Head. The tower is 27m tall (according to Wikipedia) giving some idea of the height of the waves. Please take a look at my previous upload too. Thanks for taking a look. Mk

I started travelling internationally right after finishing college when I took a teaching position in Kuwait. Over the decades of my career, my partner and I have continued to work in or explore different parts of the world. More recently, since taking early retirement, we manage to spend around five months away during Canadian winters.
I kept track of all the places with a blogged list. In 2018, I decided it would be useful to find a single, personal image to represent each country I've visited. I have put these into a single Flickr Album. A photograph may occasionally be updated if we have a return visit.
These are organized alphabetically. You should be able to go forward or background from the image's main page where you can also see the names, and dates. In most cases the EXE date is correct. Some images may have been scanned and dates approximated.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

At last the clouds and rain of the last few days cleared and I was able to take a shot of the Moon. This was taken at 5.30pm just before it got dark. It's a waxing, gibbous Moon 83% illuminated, 4 days away from being full.

The Battle of Halen on 12th of August 1914 sounded the death nell for the cavalry in modern warfare. After the advent of trench warfare, cavalry formations were relieved of their horses and the men relegated to an infantry role.

EC 173 Hamburg-Altona - Budapest-Nyugati
Am Morgen des 13. Mai 2025 bin ich Schwanheide in den Tag gestartet. Westlich vom gleichnamigen Haltepunkt bezog ich pünktlich zum Sonnenstand meine Position auf dem Erdwall. Als erste Zugbewegung zeigte sich der Ziltendorfer-Erzzug mit einem verkehrsroten Doppel der Baureihe 193 von DB Cargo. Da waren die diversen Schatten eigentlich noch zu lang. Etwa 15min dahinter kündigte sich der erste Eurocity des Tages durch ein Surren der Gleise an. Wenig später rauschte der Fernzug von Hamburg-Altona nach Budapest vorbei. Als Zuglok war die angekündigte weiße 193 569 der Ceske Drahy vorgespannt. Die schön saubere Lokomotive fehlte mir noch in der Sammlung. Es folgten dann in den weiteren Stunden des Wartens noch zwei METRANS-Züge jeweils mit 386er bespannt und ein weiterer Eurocity gen Osten vorbei. Nachdem das Licht dann langsam drohte in die Gleisachse zu drehen, habe ich meine Sachen gepackt und bin ein paar Kilometer weiter die Strecke entlang in Richtung Osten gefahren. Mein nächstes und letztes Ziel vor der anstehenden Spätschicht hieß Dersenow. Drei Bilder von drei Zügen im Blockabstand habe ich bereits in meinem Fotostream online gestellt. Wer diese Züge in der nächsten Zeit fotografieren möchte, der hat noch bis zum 1. August ein wenig Zeit. Danach ist diese Strecke erstmal für mehrere Monate komplett gesperrt und die Eurocity nach Tschechien bzw. Ungarn entfallen ersatzlos. In der Zeit wo dieser Text entstanden ist fuhren die Züge auch nur eingeschränkt vom Norden Deutschlands bis Dresden wegen Bauarbeiten im Elbtal. Auch die Zugnummern wurden in der Bauzeit auf Intercity geändert. Zudem ist die Frage, ob nach den Bauarbeiten bzw. der Streckensperre die Züge der Ceske Drahy noch so einfach zu fotografieren sind. Es dürfte nur noch eine Frage der Zeit sein bis die Steuerwagen zu den ComfortJets die volle Betriebsgenehmigung erhalten haben und auch als solche genutzt werden dürfen. Dann könnte es zum Lottospiel werden wie herum die Züge gereiht sind...
Our site was in the prime position to see this amazing sunset. It was just after a thunderstorm passed through and as the sunlight hit the wet earth, mist and fog rose and filled air. The river was just below and sleeping to the sound of the rushing water was an experience. Before we left the next day, we discovered some nice flat areas down the slope. If it didn't rain the day before, we could have put our chairs at the river's edge to relax!

MADE POSITION #162 IN EXPLORE 7TH FEBRUARY 2011
Right .... where do I start .... this picture was not taken by myself, it was taken by my little brother Rhodri. For christmas just gone, me and my parents clubbed in to get him a Nikon D40, I gave him my old, but mint kit lens a few filters, bag and other accessories to get him going. I've been badgering him to create a flickr account but he doesn't think his pictures are good enough .... well f&%k me pink .... I think this is OUTSTANDING ... I absolutely love it ! I would hang this on my wall ! So anyhow, I've posted it here to serve as some encourgement for him to join flickr so that he can see the positive comments he'll get. In fairness to him, he's jumped in the deep end, this was shot in manual using spot metering, he selected an appropriate aperture of f/11 and the shutter speed is bang on, the only thing "bruf" is that you didn't need ISO 400 you could have dropped it to base ISO, but still WAW I LOVE IT, love the contrast, the ariel perspetive, the exposure, the dark and the light ... it is great, strong lead in lines, it's got it all ! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. I wish you'd have used that CPL I sent with you though .... It was edited my Rhodz in LR3, he sent me the file and I opened with CS4 corrected for barrel distortion and posted.
This was taken sometime in the last week during his skiing holiday on the France / Switzerland Border with his D40 and 18-55mm VR kit lens ! Nice shot Rhodz, now do yourself a favour, if you can knock images like this out in manual mode using a spot meter in just over month you need to get on here ... join.
