Quick snap while wandering Misfit Nerdville Christmas today!
Definitely worth a wander maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Misfit%20Nerdville/136/128/23
This is the second part of two shot on a Sunday afternoon in rather threatening weather conditions that quickly turned to fine drizzle, then real rain.
Out of camera jpeg with no edits apart from some slight sharpening.
Olympus Pen E-P5 with an early 1950s C mount movie camera lens, the Kern Switar 25mm f/1.5 (approx 50mm equivalent on MFT). I was curious to see what it would make of the nature scenes and the conditions.
I still think it's one of the nicest lenses I have. But scarcely usable on APS-C (strong vignetting) and not at all on full frame.
The fog rolled in quickly and a little ray of sunlight sliced through the woods. iPhone7 in the pocket for a quick grab before the fog lifted almost as quickly as it came in.
A couple of days ago I posted a comment saying that I don’t do sports shots and here I go again. Actually I don’t really think of this shot as a sport subject either. It’s an exercise in light and motion that just happens to be a picture of a motor bike.
This was taken at an annual event that is held on the beach front at Kirkcaldy. The local motor cycle club gets to close the beach down and race various styles of bike along the sands. This was my first attempt at a panning shot and to this day it’s been one of my best.
How long does it take you to drive 30 miles? If you were with my wife and I you would probably not like it. We stop often when we see things like this. One subject usually leads to another. Do you see only the sunrise? If you look lower you will see an decrepit barn with an old vehicle forever parked by it. That sight means I need to drive up and take a closer look even though we are headed elsewhere.
A Pink Salmon, desperately trying to elude a hungry Black Bear, leaps from the shallow spawning steam only to land on a rock. For all their bulk, bears are agile and quick, and this one is about to clamp down on her meal... but... believe it or not, the salmon did a backflip and escaped! (Unfortunately it flipped behind that out of focus rock in the left foreground, so my next frame wasn't as good.)
My title refers to both of them. The salmon needs to spawn. The bear needs to pack on calories to get through the coming winter. The salmon that don't make it feed not only bears, but eagles, crows, wolves, vultures, gulls, and the forest itself (bears and eagles will carry their catch into the woods to consume, and the leftovers will fertilize the forest floor). This is how a healthy ecosystem should work. Whether the BC coastal ecosystem is healthy enough to maintain itself at this point is anyone's guess...

It appears as though someone stopped out on the road and then slogged through the snow to check on an old car in the deteriorating shed. Life habits of our parents often pursue us all our lives. My parents farmed on three locations and sometimes after a long day of work on one of them, my dad would irritate me when we were headed home toward supper and he would say, "let's just stop and take a quick check on the tractor in the other field we left for tomorrow." There weren't as many malevolent country folks back then to worry about but he had a protective sense of ownership and responsibility that he passed on to his children by his example.
First chance I've had this week to take an image for this weeks theme. A quick walk for an hour this cold and frosty morning, keeping it local to home and it was freezing out there.
This bridge over the River Brain on the way into town.

Not had chance to get out in the snow due to work & time taking to get to work ! ...here's a quick one from the archives...hope to be out rolling in it this weekend though ;o)
After spending the day in and around Norfolk, Virginia between Lamberts Point and Portlock Yard, I decided to head over to Shell Rd near Bridge 7 to see if I could get a few trains going by. Instead, when I got there, a crew was getting ready to drop off a new turnout for a small spur just to the west of the bridge. NS 6110 does the honors and was built as N&W 6110 in 1975. After a nice conversation with the conductor and they dropped the switch off, I continued on my way.
A quick look back along the Appalachian Trail through Engine Gap from Round Bald in the Roan Highlands at the rain cloud that will soon swallow me within its midst's. Hoping, praying there is not an electrical element to this passing cloud. Beautiful, very interesting, but not something I want to examine up close...

Quick look through the fencing to part of the airstrip where helicopters, light aircraft and The Air Ambulance take off at Caernarfon Airport.
The sign can be seen for The Helicopter Rides.
Cabbage and noodles, with ice cold applesauce on the side, makes for a quick and nourishing lunch on a cold autumn day.
It seems that nexus gone crazy over there... just been there to download something, an hour later, it says that I have 73 notifications, yet when I open to see... nothing new, only one new.
The Sea, The Sky, The Earth, The Wind, 2005. Four paintings by Dutch artist Jan Cremer, Museum De Fundatie, Zwolle, Holland.
Shot on iPhone 13 Pro.
Went for a run - and the spot where my mate had to duck in for a quick rest stop is also where these flag poles are - it’s the site of a US Navy sub base in the WWII.
This guy was looking at his watch - but it made him look like he was marching.
A quick weekend trip down to Roanoke with some friends led to some good times. The first train we saw was was this 29C with the S&A heritage leading west.
Quick heartbeat upload - this one hoping for some critique. I've held off posting it for a few months, as I can't quite get the contrast or colour levels to work perfectly for my eye!
There's a black and white version in the comments for that reason!
I'd love to know what people think. It was morning light, but maybe not quite early enough to bring out the full texture of the distant wall of rock.
All that said, I do like the clean reflection - reminiscent of a happy hour or so, on a dewy spring morning, way up in the Triglav National Park at Bohinj Jezero. One of the single best places on Earth!
Hope everyone is well and enjoying an awesome week!
I made a quick stop in the community of New Brighton. It is interesting that a nesting box for Purple Martins has been erected. This is the first recorded site for these birds to be nesting in Calgary in the last 80 years. The gentleman has gone through great lengths with the city to have it approved.
Thanks for your visits and comments! They are all greatly appreciated!
Guess what. You're looking at only 4g of carbs in this photo. Considering my goal in achieving a ketogenic state, I've been looking for ways to increase my fat-intake and to lower the carb-intake. Almond flour is a major component to creatively output these ideas. This morning I was able to enjoy something bread-like. It's been so long since I've enjoyed something like this. It only took 5 minutes to prep this. I did use a mug and a high-powered microwave to heat the batter. Within two minutes, I was eating one of the most heavenly creations made for someone lastingly deprived of carbohydrates.
Had a quick delve into the archives today looking for a certain image, instead of finding what I was looking for ended up with this image.
Taken at West Bay in Dorset some time ago, cropped square and converted to mono with a slight tint added.
Thank you for all the faves and comments on my last upload, think that was the most views I have had on an image to date.
