Full view of Sri Ram Temple, Ramadevara Betta, Ramanagara, Karnataka
Ramanagara is surrounded by natural granite rocks.In this region the iconic Hindi movie Sholay was shot. It is no surprise that this place is a haven for rock climbers and trekkers. To reach the temple one has to climb around 350 steps. The path leading to the top is enclosed by abundant greenery and the boulders, many of which have figures of Gods on them.
Pulling one from last year - a trip to one of our fly fishing lakes.
I forgot about the image - and wit improved software - it made for a beautiful image.

Over the last few weeks I've seen several weathervanes as we whizzed by in the car and weren't able to stop and photograph.
However, yesterday I spotted this one on a balcony of a house in Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne ... not somewhere you'd expect to see a weathervane!
A complete family of french Big Horns in Chartreuse in french alps during an approach. A large framing because of a french movie named "The Ram Family" ;)

Some time ago, I tried and failed to repair this lens - the focus has jammed. It's stuck on one focal length (just under 3 feet).
But it's not a bad length, as the reason to use this lens is the unusual, fun and sometimes swirly bokeh it produces.
I found an exposed roll of Bergger Pancro400 in the darkroom yesterday, and I had no idea what was on the roll. So, I processed it in my last bit of D-76 I'd made some weeks ago - a developer I haven't used before with Pancro400. One of these days I am going to shoot a roll of a single, unchanging subject and cut the roll up into 3 or 4 pieces, and do a comparison between BER49, Rodinal, Xtol, and D-76 to see how each performs with this emulsion.
I have no data about what camera was used, or how the film was exposed. I'm guessing it was my Minolta Autocord, though.
... su'it street, victoria bc ... campers and motorhomes were a common sight on city streets during the pandemic when the US border was closed but they are just as common now because people are living in them, an unintended consequence of local population growth, high rents and a low vacancy rate for rental accommodations
Tim Ropers stainless steel sculpture of a Derby icon, not nearly as controversial as The Rings sited a few dozen feet away. It still has a Bizarro look to me.

Thanks for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. I really appreciate it very much. (You have to double click on all my images for the best view.).
I took this just a few minutes after sunrise while on a boat tour of lighthouses near Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The last time I was on this tour, there was a long catwalk from the lighthouse to the keeper's house. Below is a piece from the Boothbay Register newspaper.
The Jan. 10, 2023 storm that blasted the Maine coast took a piece of Boothbay region maritime history. The storm destroyed the lighthouse walkway at the 1883 Ram Island Light Station and damaged the island’s landing area. The 214-foot walkway, a reconstruction of the original, was installed in 2002 to connect the five-acre island to the adjacent light tower. Its piers supported five 40-foot sections and one 14-foot section. Ryan said the process, from designing and fabrication on shore to installation on the island, took several months. “Regarding costs ... let’s just say it wasn’t inexpensive,” he said.
The original walkway had collapsed and was subsequently removed by the Coast Guard in the 1970s as part of its own restoration efforts, according to the Trust. Currently, the Trust stewards the island, lighthouse and other buildings, and the Ram Island Light Station is on the National Register of Historic Places. However, the Coast Guard maintains the light operation, which was automated in 1965. Ryan said the Coast Guard still has access to the light by way of a ladder on the north side of the tower, and there are no plans to rebuild the walkway.
“The best part of the state of Maine is out there on the water,” he said. “It's just natural. It's a wonderful spot. And being on the island you just get a great sense of, I don't know, whatever that is. History, and all that. It's all wrapped up. Nature, history, it's all there.”
This zodiac has its origins from the greek myth of Zeus sending Aries the ram at the last minute as a sacrificial scape goat, in place of obedient King Athamas having to sacrifice his beloved children as an offering to the Gods on Mount Laphystium:
"Thrixos and Helle were the son and daughter of King Athamas and his first wife Nephele. The king's second wife, Ino, was jealous and wished to kill his children. To accomplish this, she induced a famine in Boeotia, then falsified a message from the Oracle of Delphi that said Phrixos must be sacrificed to end the famine. Athamas was about to sacrifice his son atop Mount Laphystium when Aries, sent by Nephele, arrived...After arriving, Phrixos sacrificed the ram to Zeus"—Wikipedia, Aries (constellation)
Aries is also the ram with the golden fleece that Jason and the Argonauts pursued.
The ram in my photo is actually a hood ornament from a 1959 Dodge Ram.
Just had a mini shoot this evening with our 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi
Exposure: 8 seconds
F-stop: 4.5
18mm lens
Star filter used
Watching Rams, the Australian remake of the Icelandic film of the same name last night, I realised this Christmas ornament would make the perfect subject for my daily photo.
From the archives - of my drive from Maryland to Alaska.
I initially drove past several Stone Sheep on my way to Lake Watson from Fort Saint John in British Columbia near Summit Lake. I had to stop and ready my camera gear before driving back to capture images of them. This ram I found a bit later up the road when I saw movement above the road and stopped to capture his image. He gave me some great looks on an outcropping of rock a bit above the roadway, not down near the road, where I had found the previous sheep. Definitely, nicer to get him with a more natural background. Also, I can see that he's shedding his winter coat and preparing for the spring.
It was interesting to find out later that these are rare wild sheep as they are found only in British Columbia and in the Yukon. How fortunate I was to capture some nice images of them!
Taken 14 June 2017 on the Alaska Highway from Ft. Nelson to Watson Lake, Canada.
This ram made me smile peeping round the shed to keep an eye on me as l walked past the croft he was on
Bighorn Ram, Waterton Canyon, Colorado. This was taken twelve years ago with my first digital camera.

I guess I'm an old stick in the mud. I would have preferred that they still carried the historic Dodge name rather than become "RAM".
Judging from the size - and unbroken condition - of this bighorn ram's horns, he's an adult, but relatively young.
It's nice to see a healthy sheep herd. As a species they're vulnerable to highly contagious bacterial pneumonia, thought to be spread from domestic sheep. So far, the Yellowstone herds have been spared.
