This stunning building was just a few seconds away from where I stayed in London last weekend, overlooking a bus station. I believe it's a hotel, although there wasn't much sign of activity. However with the sun on it, it glowed like an elaborate piece of decorative golden jewellery.
Found myself a little disturbed looking back at the image from last weekend of this couple risking it all for whatever their own reasons.

Firstly a very Merry Christmas to all my Flickr friends and contacts, it's been a great year and your support has been very much appreciated throughout 2017, I hope you all have a great Christmas !
Staying for a few nights in nearby Borrowdale this location was probably always going to get done again at some point for sunrise and so it transpired on the first morning, the difficulty was the weather as loads of roads had been shut the previous evening due to ice and snow and the drive here meant going via the rather steep Honister Pass.... as I set off to here in decent time in the dark (no hotel toaster issues this morning...) it didn't seem too bad, until you actually got onto the open moorland section before the pass (which hadn't been gritted), which resulted in 5mph and sliding all over the place.. thankfully that cleared and the pass had been gritted but you still needed to drive at the speed of a milk float to stop the car ending up down a ravine...
Arriving safely it was still pretty dark by the time I got down to the shoreline, the moon still being out over Red Pike which was gorgeous, I had one more local photographer for company and we had a bit of a chat while I was getting set up (good to meet you)
Some nice light finally arrived after a (very) brief burst of pre dawn pink that looked like it was about to go crazy then instantly vanished as soon as it had came, always happens to me that!
Had about 2 hours down here and had to leave as my feet were frozen, this was shortly before leaving with the sun just cresting above the flanks of Fleetwith Pike and starting to hit the lake below and the line of Pine Trees, creeping across the sky from left to right giving this curious image of almost 2 halves, by the time I'd walked back to the car on the icy path it was too bright to shoot towards the sun and the lake was covered in ripples.
Definitely time for a coffee or 3 by a hot radiator :-)

Victoire, 3 ways. I did a blog post about her comparing the different screenings this afternoon for those interested:

The United Arab Kingdom or UAK was formed as part of the progression of the Gulf Monarchical Economic Union(GMEU) that had formed in the 60s as a reaction to the UAPR. The Kingdom exists as a federal structure, with devolved government existing in its member states which are the kingdoms of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the Emerities which in itself is a federation. The former state of North Yemen was occupied by Saudi Arabia following the Yemeni-Saud War(1964). The culminating event for the economic and military cooperation of the Gulf states was the reaction to the fall of Jordan. As the UAPR formed with the union of Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and Lebanon Jordan came under increasing pressure from both Communist guerillas making consistent intrusions into its territory and also the Israeli nationalist groups operating out of its deserts. The 1966 coup and subsequent annexation of Jordan into the UAPR led to a flair in the border conflict between the UAPR and Arab Kingdoms, where the monarchies would be given a bloody nose by the far better-funded and armed Arab militias.
Following the border war, the Kingdoms would form a common defense, economic, and political union eventually leading to the founding of the UAK. They and the UAPR would engage in an oil-fueled arms race that led to both nations seeking nuclear weapons in the 80s, and acquiring them in the 90s. The primary supplier to the UAK is NATO and the EFU, with limited support from the UFA. The Arab Kingdom would gain experience overseas, sending detachments of troops to fight communist guerillas in the UFA, while also helping the Kingdom of Egypt’s Junta reassert control of the White Nile with deployments to Sudan. Following the collapse and invasion of their long-standing ally the Kingdom of Egypt, the UAK applied for and joined NATO. The confrontation between them and the UAPR remains constant with the desert borders being heavily militarized along with Yemen being a frequent flair-up site. The UAPR, emboldened by their victories in Egypt and Sudan seek to unify the Arab world and liberate the people under the grip of what they view as a backward monarchical system. Currently, the UAK has military deployments in South Sudan, while also participating in frequent joint exercises with the EFU and UFA.
The UAK is governed by an elected monarchy, elected by the heads of each royal house, however, the position is largely considered to be Saudi dominated with no other house being elected as sovereign. In recent years the UAK has suffered deeply from desertification accompanied by climate change and the global decline in fossil fuel use, on top of this the monarchical structure has allowed a large corrupt aristocracy to dominate the military and economy. There is little to no democratic representation in the country or women’s rights. Wahhabism remains a facet of Islamic life and prevailing governmental ideology, largely due to the 1979 Mosque seizure and as a reaction to the UAPR’s ardent secularism and alliance with the communist and largely Shia Iran.
A progression of mushrooms at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens (during the height of summer!). We'd had a warm dry start (drought), then a few days of steady rain, and all manner of mushrooms burst forth which I was not expecting to see until Autumn.

I first shot the Seagull Nebula (IC2177) in 2016 just two months after receiving my Astrotrac. I have since shot the object two more times, and I thought it was interesting to show my progression in astrophotography. As is the case with most of us in this hobby, my gear has gotten more expensive and sophisticated, but I also have gotten better at processing and more patient and exacting with collecting the exposures that make up the final photo. Total exposure = integration. The first photo is only 32 minutes integration, while the one I just finished on right is 6 hours integration (which is actually a "short" integration by my standards now).
Roaring Fork stream in fall, photographed in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park this past October.
Of the places that I visited in the Smokies, the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail was one of my favorites. The road follows along the Roaring Fork stream over of its length, with limitless photographic opportunities. Most of the rocks in this stream were entirely moss covered, and the area had nice fall colors.
This particular image was photographed using a 91 second exposure at f/18 with a polarizer plus 5 stop ND filter.
Looks better larger.
Thanks for your comments!

So I'm working on this colour concept thing at the moment... I know, get your own idea colours were here before you. And maybe they were. But I also have synesthesia and so I made music and art that made life turn Violet for me. Its super prreeeetyyyy :)
Rock climbers atop "Monkey Face", a 350 foot basalt tower within Smith Rock State Park in Deschutes County, Oregon. Climbing, as a sport, had its origins within the park.

Composite image of the Total Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017 as viewed from Madras, Oregon, USA.
Totality and background from the same frame, others added to show progress of the eclipse and movement of the sun. This gives more of a feel of what it was like to look at the eclipse versus the tighter zoomed-in images of the eclipse detail.
