Another 2 version shot of the interior of the chapel at Clumber Park, Nottingham.
This was an area around the altar that was behind a gate (I'm sure there is a proper name for the gate between the altar area the main congregation area). The sunlight was streaming through the window and highlighting part of the altar. This is what I was trying to capture.
Back to what i enjoy doing best, spending some time on my favourite boat filled beach, you just never know what you are going to capture.

A belt. And one with a history. Originally, this belt had belonged to my mother (magrit k.), but when I was a teenager, she gave it to me, because she didn't wear it anymore, but I thought that it looked cool and also very much 1960s. Back then, I was totally obsessed with anything 1960s, especially music and fashion. And this blue leather belt, although from the 1970s, in my opinion, had (or rather: still has) the perfect swinging sixties vibe with its 5 cm/1,96 inches width, its nicely shaped buckle, and the large, punched holes. And those holes were the "problem". I simply couldn't wear it with its original style, because that belt was a low waist belt, but the dictate of fashion at the time I got it asked for a waistline almost under the chin. So I clumsily drilled some extra holes with a simple gimlet. Since the result, not entirely unexpectedly, looked ugly, I took the belt to a cobbler who did some decent punching work and also added the metal eyelets to the extra holes. I've been wearing this belt ever since, on and off, to this day.
The image is a focus stacking made of 15 photos. The in-camera stacking result looked good so I used the Jpg out of the camera and further processed it in Analog Efex. I've illuminated the scene from above and slightly from behind. To add some visual punch, I placed the belt against that red, transparent chocolate box lid which, as you know, usually serves as a colour filter. You can see how scratched that lid already is, so maybe it's time to buy a proper colour filter. On the other hand, I might simply buy another box of Mon Cherie chocolates to get a new "colour filter" – with the bonus of some extra chocolate pleasure ;)
HMM, Everyone!
A proper pirate walks into a bar wearing his pirate hat, eye patch, old guns by his hip, and of course also a hook. The barmaid asks him.....
What the hell happened to you? why do you have a hook? The pirate replies, Ah well it's just one of these war stories, you know ... lost my hand in a fight.
Wow! And how did you get the eye patch?
Oh, that's because a seagull sh*t in my eye there once.
Barmaid responds, What? No one loses their eyesight like that?
Yes that is true answers the pirate.....but at that point I'd only had the hook 3 days!!!
Boom Boom!
Have a good week.

With the battles finally over, work on temple construction began during the lunar month of February 1817. But the cost of construction was high and proper materials scarce. The Five Lords intervened again, visiting Madame Guo Feng of nearby Madou Village in a dream. Awaking, she took her palanquin to Nankunshen to deliver a personal donation of one thousand liang in silver – enough to keep work on the temple moving forward.
After five years and four months, work on the new temple was finished in 1822. It was at this time that the new home of the Five Lords was officially consecrated as ‘Nankunshen Daitian’ Temple. The original structure, built with the altars of the Five Lords at its center, was approached through a series of three main gates. An active center of worship for the next four decades, the temple gradually fell into disrepair. In 1864, Mssrs. Wu Kang, Hong Hu-pan and Tu Chian, three pious individuals from Keliao Village, together contributed 10,000 yuan for restoration work. In 1872, a new altar – ‘Ching Shan Temple’ - was added at the back, dedicated to the Guanyin Goddess to remember her role in mediating the dispute between the Five Lords and the child spirit.
Would like to think i have done what the boats name suggests, the sun was setting behind me and the sky was not as good as this, I'm quite pleased with the final result.
The best breakfast I have had in Britain for many years so I thought it deserved a post. This was at a cafe near Ambergate Station between Belper and Matlock in Derbyshire.
In case you're wondering - yes I did eat it all and no I didn't eat for the rest of the day!
BRC&W class 26 no. 26032 stands at Dingwall with an unidentified southbound service to Inverness.
I would shortly be taking a train up to the most northerly extremity of the UK rail network, Thurso. Hardly the best conditions, as can be seen, and they hardly improved the further north I went with that fine, but quick to drench, Scotch rain. I would eventually take the bus from Thurso to Wick, stay overnight in a B&B, before returning down the other leg of the line from Georgemas Junction.
This has been my only ride to date along the delightful line to the Far North - but repeating it on a DMU somehow just doesn't appeal.

This cairn is one I have regularly rebuilt on each visit......this time, no need as someone has done a great job on it, even providing a seat. August weather....windy, cool, horizontal drizzle....wonderful...not.

Inspired by a favorite Flickr friend, this little fish image required the carpentry skills of my husband, several shopping trips to find sardines, then a proper bit of light in the house. Mind you, Kipp does not like fish so the rubber gloves were in play. In the end, these large (wanted little bitty ones) sardines ended up with the crows - they quickly gobbled them up ;D
The things we do for a photograph! Egads!
Thanks for popping in!
Although some may argue.

Hiking Lady Anne's Way between Skipton and Penrith. This pic taken at the top of an inhospitable fell (loved every minute of my soaking!) north of Grassington.
A pair of white tailed (sea) eagles, sat tearing something apart on a rock offshore. An otter and seal came for a look too.
Somehow I just can't get the quality I feel i should from my SIGMA DG 150-500mm lens
For Macro Mondays theme 'Guilty Pleasure'.
Well of course my guilty pleasure would be snail photography, hence the reason for incorporating a lens in the composition. In fact it was Macro Mondays back in 2016 that started me on my snail whispering journey (see first comment box).
I do feel rather guilty as all you proper photographers likely wonder why I spend so much time on snails - well, it's fun to work with such engaging little creatures and I enjoy the challenge of getting them to perform. Every week I really do try to come up with an idea that doesn't involve them, but I might as well face it, I'm addicted to snails...
The title for the image is taken from the 1950 film Sunset Boulevard in which Gloria Swanson in her role as Norma Desmond, an aging delusional silent film star, utters the iconic line.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
County Mayo, Ireland. Nobody is sure when it was built; it existed before the first proper Ordinance Survey of 1838.
This year winter is realy heavy, snow and cold. So i had possibility took a proper winter shot to this series.

This has added interest to previously dull area.
Adjacent to a basketball court in Orchard Road Park Southsea, a stunning new art installation has been painted. The paintings titled 'Proper Faces' are by Dharma 77 who also has work on display in the alleyway between Palmerston Road and Tonbridge Street in Southsea. You can view much more work by Dharma 77 on his Instagram account.
Dharma 77’s mural depicts characters and archetypes all observed by the artist in Portsmouth. The colour scheme evokes the familiar changing coastal light as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west of the island, across the faces representing a diverse collection of idiosyncratic, lairy, real, colourful people who are, like this island, a microcosm of Britain yet distinctly ‘Pompey’.
Each has their own background and story as they and this historic city look towards the future.
Artist Bio:
Dharma 77 (Luke Storkey) is an artist focusing on portraiture, colour and light. Working primarily with spray paint and ink, he paints large scale public murals and produces smaller works for private collectors.
