The one chance we may ever have to shoot a lunar eclipse during blue hour and over city lights and it was cloudy here! Earlier in the evening, a lady came up to me and asked me where the eclipse was. I said, 'It's in this direction and behind the clouds.' She asked me, 'Do you know when are they going to make the clouds go away?' I said, 'I'll ask.' The Moon finally did make an appearance...
This is a composite of three shots taken last night from the same spot.

Long de 5 centimètres, l'Orthétrum réticulé (Orthetrum cancellatum) est un anisoptère de taille moyenne. Les mâles se reconnaissent facilement à leur abdomen gris-bleu dont l'extrémité est plus sombre et à leurs ailes transparentes, sans marques noires à la base (contrairement à la Libellule fauve). La pruinosité bleutée laisse apercevoir la coloration jaune de l'abdomen sur les côtés. Les jeunes femelles sont jaunâtres puis adoptent une coloration plus terne, beige puis brun (parfois foncé), avec des marques noires longitudinales sur l'abdomen. Les yeux sont gris-vert et le bord antérieur des ailes est jaune. Les ptérostigmas sont noirs et fins. Les femelles possèdent une lame vulvaire.

The cross-bred Orthetrum (Orthetrum cancellatum) is 5 cm long and is a medium-sized anisopteran. Males are easily recognized by their gray-blue abdomen, which has a darker tip and transparent wings, with no black markings at the base (unlike the Fawn Dragonfly). The bluish pruinosity reveals the yellow color of the abdomen on the sides. The young females are yellowish then adopt a duller, beige then brown (sometimes dark) coloration, with longitudinal black marks on the abdomen. The eyes are gray-green and the anterior edge of the wings is yellow. Pterostigmas are black and fine. Females have a vulvar blade.
I was leaving Fernhill, and heard a yellowthroat calling in the brush. Decided to pish it out, and it cooperatively showed itself, then went back into hiding. Got a few shots in that revealed position.
Fog covered most of the valley floor at sunrise. By mid-morning, it was starting to burn off and it opened around a few peaks. This is Crowfoot Mountain just as the fog lifted. It was named in 1959 after the glacier that is on its northeastern corner. The top of the glacier is visible on the far, right side of the image.

The early morning mist had started to burn away and reveal a couple of small islets. We had stayed the night at the wonderfully remote youth hostel on the shores of Loch Ossain and would have a very long day ahead so an early start was made and with it we caught the low in alls its splendour.

It was just a very ordinary walk in the same Helsinki suburb surroundings, still with patches of ice here and there, but sun already was shining warmer and friendlier than a couple of weeks ago. And then behind a turn of the path opened a view over a little bay, and sunlight fell on the tops of last year dropworts in so marvelous angle that all the scene was flooded with light... I deliberately let the flare come into the photo, because it reveals the feeling from that moment like fairies would be dancing in the branches and chasing the winter away. :-)

Another chance at this opportunity with better conditions. The glorious 8247 working NS’s Lombard terminal.
I have been desperate to shoot in fog for ages. This was actually one of my first shots. I took zillions, but I think this came out best.
Moments of solace are often found at different points within the world. Overcoming challenges like solitude have created some ecstatic hair standing moments in my life. For me spiritual experiences and ultimately serenity is easier to locate when confronted by the raw power of the natural world. I've found that part of the medicine for my being is to create, confront, and overcome hardships, which allow me greater understanding of the human condition. Through the process of constant challenge, and overcome, I've found that I'm often able to manifest or create my desire. For me, personally, this picture is testament that with a goal in mind and the will to make it happen the desired outcome will surely come to pass.
To all the people that I met on my latest journey, thank you for helping create an overall positive experience and making room to connect.

Liked this view looking down river over the rocks and potholes revealed ... looking towards the warmer sunrise light as the blue hour was leaving.
View along the pretty Gunpowder River in Maryland.
Captured here with my new 14mm f2.8 lens, captured at f/22. The prime manual lens is pretty sharp ... well worth the cost I think, that was not too bad for the Rokinon lens.
Lotus flowers don't last long - this is later in the 2nd day of flowering and much is revealed regarding the life cycle of the lotus.
A short tele-photo photo reveals the innards of a lotus flower.
As you can see, there are many petals, this variety is white (they are often pink or some combination of the two).
In the center of the flowers, there are many yellow stamens with white tips and an obconical receptacle with many holes, each containing an ovary. The receptacle develops into a large, obconical, spongy structure, flat on top, and maturing some 20–30 nuts generally - this one is smaller. The nuts are ellipsoidal or obovoidal, deep brown in color with hard shells, and about 2 cm long.
The history of the lotus can be traced back to the diluvia epoch, the formation of which, in central Japan, contains the fossil rhizomes and fruits of lotus. Records show that it was grown in ancient Egypt and that a white-flowered variety was grown in India as early as 500 bc (this is likely a descendent).
Splitting bark on birch.
The main reason that birches split or shed their bark is that the tree is growing. As the bark can't stretch or expand, it splits making way for the next layer underneath. The patterns created can be fantastic and the contrasts between old and new are lovely too.
Thorp Perrow Arboretum, North Yorkshire.
A secret barn of sorts - not visible during the summer with all the trees and shrubbery hiding its ruby facade. But with the leaves gone, and the shrubs died back from winter freeze, her rugged and weathered beauty is displayed.
Still not sure on this image, taken just before new year, the sunrise never quite lit up so opted for a long exposure of the rocks as the tide receeeded
Barns normally deteriorate from top down as moisture creeps in broken shingles and leaky cupolas and starts an ongoing process. Often farmers years ago sought life extension for barns by using tin sheets over both the roof and siding. As tin sheets get loosened over time the underbelly of red painted wood gets revealed as it does on this barn.
Oxburgh Hall is a 15th Century moated manor house near Swaffham in Norfolk, UK. Here the gardens are revealed.

Further along the same beach, this chunk of driftwood had been stripped of all its bark and there were some lovely patterns on the bare, sea bleached wood.
