52 weeks in 2016 ... down low ...
... this was quite the challenge ... Drift would nót lie still as I was flat on my belly (not something we're used to haha) and I wanted the shot at f 1.4 for the bokeh and that's kinda difficult if your dog is constantly moving or coming towards you ... but we did it !

Not quite a Constable painting but it was taken in Dedham, where the great master lived and created most of his masterpieces.
Generally quite dark compared to other orb web spiders and can be found close to water where their webs are spun on fencing, buildings and bridges and rarely on vegetation. Close to a river near me where I live a river flows under a road in a tunnel these Orbweb spiders can be found and seen in their webs close to the lights that help to light up the pathway where they have the best of both worlds, warmth from the lights where I have even seen the adults spiders here in February with snow outside and plus their prey such as moths and flies are attracted to the lights also. Its amazing to see their webs so close together and not eating each other, nature can be truly amazing at times.
This is quite a busy intersection. Tsuen Wan Road and Kwai Chung Road run parallel at ground level before they split to different directions. The overpasses on the right belong to three MTR lines: Airport Express, Tsuen Wan Line and Tung Chung Line. In the left background the flyovers to Tsing Kwai Highway. Shot from the footbridge beside the Lai King MTR station.

Quite desolate and weather beaten on a Wyoming landscape - this old outbuilding survives.
(They say there are more Pronghorn Antelope in Wyoming than people, also they are the only American Antelope.)
Camelia petals decaying, but still quite pretty I think! HMM

Stay safe my friends! 💕

At the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague. This cemetery was in use from around the early 15th century up to the late 19th - then the area was completely full and a new cemetery was needed.
It is estimated that some 100 000 persons have been buried here, and there are around 12 000 tombstones preserved.
We went quite far into the swamps in search of a sunrise shooting location. It was our mistake, along the way we missed a couple of pretty good ones in search of the best one. Therefore, we met the dawn at a rather boring location
It was quite a climb but it was worth it for the panoramic views including this view of the Kasbah Ait Benhaddou. It gives you a good look at the famous crenellated towers.
In the desert areas of Morocco kasbah means a large estate home like a manor house in English or hacienda in Spanish. The beautiful Kasbah Ait Benhaddou has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and has been the location for many movies. It sits in a small oasis next to a mostly dry stream bed with towering hills of stone behind it.
Found this spiky little beauty in my garden today right during the hour of sunset. I've noticed these caterpillars(Unknown ID) quite a few times now and they seem to be very fond of the flower buds. Spotted two of these guys today and took some snaps and this was one of the decent ones.
Thanks everyone for viewing and your comments are largely appreciated!!
Not quite shot into the sun - a little to the left, a gap in the clouds as it was getting low.

Quite a famous place in Lisbon near the tram N28 stop. Nearby the descent begins down to the Alfama district.
This Cormorant was struggling to swallow the large fish that it had just caught. It did succeed in the end!
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
it's always difficult to come up with something different, when you have photographed a bird many times. This pose however fitted the bill perfectly if you'll excuse the pun.
A beach regular and a very welcome one albeit not seen in usual numbers this summer.

Not quite a partridge in a pear tree, but this pretty little house finch in a pine tree will have to do.
Quite amusing watching these burying their winter stash but always finding time for a snack in between
After spending quite a few wonderful minutes in this dramatic landscape getting beautiful sunrise shots, I couldn't resist walking down the slopes to catch the sunlight through the holes in the pinnacles.
Can you please crawl out your window is a. Bob Dylan song sung by Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey on my playlist. I think the generally wild and windy week had made these special moments just dazzle.
I quite liked the silhouettes of the misty trees at the lock.

Blanket flowers are long lived and vibrant flowers. This year these plants have been exploding with new growth. Once I started looking at the various photographs I've taken during their stages of development, I decided that this little blossom was still quite a baby flower. Perhaps that is why gardening shops are called nurseries.
It is midday now, we are hiking for quite some time. One thing comes to view is that any tree in this environment is lonely. It makes stand in ore and admire persistence and energy to withstand harsh environment. Well done nature.
Quite an unusual Spring. Nearly everything bloomed early here in the south and this was one of the last redbuds to be found anywhere.
For quite a few years this armature did it's job in the vacuum control module of my 2001 Audi A4. Eventually the pump parts failed and I could no longer lock any of the doors. I replaced the module and put the old one in a drawer for future dissection, that was around 2008. A contact has been posting his collection of small armatures so I thought I'd see what I could come up with myself. This one was shot with a single light source placed to the right of the camera for the Macro Mondays theme, "Sidelit". The armature measures app. 1 in. X 0.75 in., the copper shaft diameter is 0.25 in.

Making quite a sight, four "Super Fleet" FP45's make their first trip together on the Eastbound 893 train on the North Main of Cajon Pass in November of 1989. The quartet included Santa Fe 102, 101, 100 and 104.
I ve quite enjoyed my photos going from grey to orange these past few days and the heatwave.
This was Studland Bay in Dorset yesterday evening. I wasn't expecting to get my telephoto lens out but it was one of those hazy sunsets at the end of a sweltering hot day with the sun a red ball instead of my usual starburst. This is normally a great location for long exposures but I was mesmerised by those gentle ripples.
It's definatly cooling down now and with a thunderstorm in the air.
