This year we do seem to have had a winter that lived up to the name - and is still doing so to some extent since every night the temperature is dropping below zero. Having said that I think that scenes like the above are probably now behind us.
hff! and weekend to all.
Hiking within Skaftafell mountain range in South Iceland is a wonderful experience and one even gets closer looks to its mighty snow-covered glacier without doing a proper glacier walk which I feared would be very demanding, especially with all the photographic gear. But just looking at these places instills awe in the might of nature. This was shot in Spring with the helping of a lovely bit of Spring sunshine which brings out the textures.
Happy Textural Tuesday!
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.
For Looking Close... on Friday!'s #whiteandred theme
(Wow; I really wasn't expecting it to be so difficult to get a proper red... But although the background I used was undeniably red, the colour of this image seemed to keep changing from shades of orange to shades of pink or purple. But I think I got there in the end 😀)

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.
Well my Gamora looks all grown up now and looks like a proper adult lady Fox, and a beautiful friendly one as well and always so friendly. I still don't take my precious moments I have with her for granted and she's always the perfect sweet companion to cheer me up when I'm having a bad day.
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.

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.

As I've not posted a proper badger shot for ages, so here's one having a few sultanas with me back in 2017. Taken sitting in the woods out on the levels.
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.

John Ray wrote the first proper bird book in the English language in 1678 (though he published the same work in Latin two years earlier). There were earlier books that referenced birds, often with a more general natural history theme, but Ray's was the first devoted to birds. In this first bird book Ray gave three names to this species; "The common Barn-Owl, or White-Owl, or Church-Owl". So one name referred to its unique owl colour, and two referred to its habitat preferences. Interestingly Ray gave the name "Ivy-Owl" as an alternative to our Tawny Owl, and I usually find them roosting in Ivy. The next major work on birds was Thomas Pennant in 1768, though it was a more general work on Zoology. Pennant coined the term warbler used for so many of our birds, and he often led the way for the selection of the accepted British name. But Pennant backed the wrong horse in this instance and chose White Owl. Later authors were reluctant to lose Barn Owl and often kept both names, such as William Yarrell in 1843. He listed both names but in his text showed a clear preference for Barn Owl, and the BOU officially adopted Barn Owl in 1883. So that is why a bird that nests freely in holes in trees, nest boxes on posts, and a variety of old buildings, has become linked to barns. Before I leave the names, the name Screech Owl was widely used and pre-dates Ray as it was first used in 1593. And Barn Owl does indeed screech. Have a listen on xeno-canto: www.xeno-canto.org/604167 , but the name Screech Owl has been adopted for different species of owl in America.
I photographed this hunting Barn Owl recently not far from my home while I was out for an afternoon walk. It was hunting over an abandoned grass field. You can see by the bramble over the wall that the field hasn't been used for some time.
