Nigella seedhead just waiting for warmer drier weather to explode and start the cycle of life once again.

Hard to think of another jet fighter with more character than the Phantom II.
There were potential photos everywhere I looked when I discovered these fields touched with snow. In this view the fence divided worked fields from a pasture, creating another shape within the pattern of lines. HFF.
This Great Blue Heron was focused on a potential meal when I spotted it near the boardwalk at Huntley Meadows Park. Best viewed LARGE.
Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Florida is a fun place to take a stroll with a camera. Like many commercial gardens, there's a spot just perfect for outdoor weddings. Anticipating the next day's nuptials, florists began decorating. This peacock decided to add to the atmosphere with its colorful plumage. Not sure if he attended the actual event!
A portrait of one of this Summers Banded Demoiselles. I have quite a few of these potential stacks kicking around on my hard drive, so thought I'd pick one to play around with. This was a 23 image handheld focus stack, I used ISO 400, F/8 aperture and a 1/160 shutter speed, I can't wait for Spring to come again, at least the days are going to start getting longer now :o)
Hope everyone has a great run up to Christmas ;o)

The Maine coast has always fascinated me, ever since I visited my grandparents there as a boy, and then later when I moved there myself, and even later yet when I went back to visit my parents there when they were still alive. I've never been anywhere where the sea and coast had such a dramatic relationship, the moods changing quite dramatically sometimes in a short while. In my business that would be referred to as emotionally labile. Not sure that makes a very good title for an photograph, but it is hard not to feel the scene as well as see it when I'm there.

The mining company built the mine in seven stories so that the process could use gravity to move the ore through different stages of processing.
I don't remember how to write poetry anymore. I've not written a line, verse, or stanza in nearly 15 years.
I do write a lot, of course. If you follow me for even the shortest of whiles, you've seen this. But it's writing, not poetry. Not exactly.
Ideally, I'd like to publish a book of photography & poems/poetry together. No idea if anyone wants that, but I do, and I suppose that's nearly all that should matter here. (It isn't, but that's fine too.)
The last poetry book I published (are we still calling them chapbooks for some reason?) was exhausting. The writing was, I mean. Reading it was too, but that was the point.
I gathered all of my words and made them as inaccessible as possible. And then I was finished. Truly finished, maybe.
Straying into rhyming and actual meter isn't something I'll do, so it's that vague other thing - writing thoughts with oddly-placed line breaks and spaces denoting something something and calling it a day.
That. That's what I haven't been able to do.
Also, I won't write poetry about writing. It's my own personal Rubicon/Vietnam.
But we'll see.
Nobody asked, so it's potentially happening.

July 2024
When I drove past this beautiful old barn I immediately saw the potential it has. I had no time to stop, so I decided to go back another day, to scout a good composition. I really like the cow parsley in the foreground, and maybe even more the church of Den Hoorn very small in the background, which is well known for anyone that is familiar with the island Texel. (As it turned out this specific barn also is pretty well known, and it’s the one that’s photographed the most of all on the island. So me seeing the potential wasn’t particularly unique!) With PhotoPills I found out that I could have some nice sidelight in the morning, but of course this is very early nowadays. I was on a family vacation in the first place and already captured one sunrise, and sleeping maybe four hours at night is usually something you’ll pay back later in the day. But the circumstances looked right the last morning I was there, with maybe even some fog. And so I went, only to find out that the weather forecast was wrong. No fog, no high clouds, actually no clouds at all! Since it was the last day, coming back another day wasn’t an option. So all in all I came back a little disappointed, and wasn’t excited about the shots I took.
But this is where the latest techniques in post-processing comes into play. Intelligent software is able to create almost the circumstances I hoped for, in just a few clicks. In this case a sky replacement. Of course this subject isn’t new and forms an interesting topic to discuss about. When I first read about it, I thought this was quite amazing, but not for me and it detracts from reality to much. But this time I just wanted to see what it looks like, more as some kind of experiment. And man, I am pretty impressed and I think it makes the photograph much stronger. Even though I thought I would never do this, I was feeling the temptation. I still think it goes a step too far, and takes away from the moments everything does fall in place. But on the other hand, I do manipulate quite a lot already, by removing distractions, change colour temperature and exposure, tweaking colours, using an orton effect etc. This post-processing techniques are considered, by most of the people I speak with, to be fully legitimate. So how much of a step is it really to add some clouds on a boring sky in photograph you’ve worked so hard on?
If it’s up to me I’m going to remove the one with the clouds. Although I think it is the better image, it is not the direction I want to take in my landscape photography. But I am very interested in which one you would show, and I will let your decision be decisive.
So please feel free to let me know how you think about this!
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

I've been reading Bruce Peter's "The changing face of British Rail", a fascinating read about the history of BR. I wasn't a fan of the Network South East livery when it emerged. Designed by John Robertshaw, it was based on the Union Jack colours. Perhaps he was a mod? Maybe he was a Jam fan? The book didn't provide that insight.
Time has softened my opinion and now it reminds me of another time. Shame that privatisation stopped NSE developing further into the brand and organisation it had the potential to become. It lingers on though. The ticket office at Marylebone still wears its NSE colours 30 years later!

View from Porolissum Roman Castrum, a military defensive position the north-eastern end of the Roman Empire, Salaj County, Romania
At the edge of the Roman Empire, Romans would likely have seen a landscape of unfamiliar, often "barbarian" tribes and cultures, with a mix of wilderness and settlements that were less developed compared to the Romanized regions within the empire's borders, often viewed as a potential threat requiring military vigilance to maintain the empire's boundaries.

Whilst travelling around the Goteborg area of Sweden by train, I saw this potential spot from the train window, so thought I would check it out to see if a shot would work from this location. This was a new location for lineside photography at the time of taking this image.
Here we see SJ X2000 Powercar no.2025 leading the 10.30 service from Stockholm C to Goteborg C (train 429) on the afternoon of the 29/4/24. The high speed X2000 tilting train was captured passing through Jonsered, Sweden.
For information, this spot is a short walk from the Jonsered station, and is located on the Goteborg C to Stockholm mainline, in particular between Goteborg C and Alingsas. Lastly, because Sweden is located much further north, Spring starts much later, therefore the flowers and trees had only just started to blossom during my trip.
