I often shoot this scene in low fog and have for many years long before it became a popular spot. On this day, the emerging green hues and dappled lighting were ample for a nice frame.
Here is another Chinle outcrop I found on Oct 1 near Arizona County Road 7230. It required some bumpy driving and about 1/2 mile walking to reach. It turned out to be beautiful with mixed earth tones including pink, salmon, purple and deep red, with some white highlights. My video captured some cloud shadows passing over the site.
The rim of the formation makes it look like it is a viscous blob moving outward, but I think the border is just a stream channel along the edge below small cliffs.
Notice the difference from the previous photo, which was taken 48 miles to the north. Each Chinle outcrop has its own character, with its own palette of colors and textures. The same site can even change dramatically depending on the light. Look at some of the variety by clicking on the chinleformation tag.

This is a shot taken at a meeting place in Broaks Wood which is just a few minutes drive from my house. It was suggested that we make the shot as "Arty" as we like, so, I thought this was a good time to have a go at Multiple Exposure shots. This was my second attempt, a little more practice is required I think!!
Happy Macro Monday!
I've passed on the last few Macro Monday challengers as I've been busy moving. As part of the moving process, I've been assembling a lot of different pieces of furniture, lamps, etc. Figured I could use some of the small hardware to make a heart.
While on my recent trip to Missouri, I stumbled across this abandoned farmhouse. It was truly a highlight of the trip since I love discovering old farmhouses and barns. (yes, the vultures are real)

My first move from number taking to photography was too black and white using a Hanimex Compact non SLR “point and shoot” camera with a 40mm lens of dubious quality around the edges of the frame.
Unfortunately, I have no records of that time and therefore we have a mystery Class 46 Peak stabled in York sometime in 1974. Any ideas on the identity of the Class 46 gratefully received.
After due consideration I have come to the conclusion that this is 46053.
Locomotive History
Fifty-six Class 46 locomotives were built at Derby Works between 1961 and 1963 with withdrawals commencing in 1978 and all had been taken out of service by 1984. 46053 was delivered as D190 in January 1963 allocated to Gateshead MPD and apart from two spells at Holbeck in 1963/64 and 1967-70 it would spend the rest of its career at Gateshead where it would remain until withdrawn during February 1981. Following withdrawal it was moved to Derby Works and broken up during July 1981

Veliko Tarnovo (Bulgarian: Велико Търново, romanized: Veliko Tǎrnovo, pronounced [vɛˈliko ˈtɤrnovo]; "Great Tarnovo") is a town in north central Bulgaria and the administrative centre of Veliko Tarnovo Province.
Often referred as the "City of the Tsars", Veliko Tarnovo is located on the Yantra River and is famously known as the historical capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire, attracting many tourists with its unique architecture. The old part of the town is situated on three hills, Tsarevets, Trapezitsa, and Sveta Gora, rising amidst the meanders of the Yantra. On Tsarevets are the palaces of the Bulgarian emperors and the Patriarchate, the Patriarchal Cathedral, and also a number of administrative and residential edifices surrounded by thick walls.
Trapezitsa is known for its many churches and as the former main residence of the nobility. During the Middle Ages, the town was among the main European centres of culture and gave its name to the architecture of the Tarnovo Artistic School, painting of the Tarnovo Artistic School, and to literature. Veliko Tarnovo is an important administrative, economic, educational, and cultural centre of Northern Bulgaria.
Veliko Tarnovo is one of the oldest settlements in Bulgaria, with a history of more than five millennia. The first traces of human presence, dating from the 3rd millennium BC, were discovered on Trapezitsa Hill.[6]
First Bulgarian state
Tarnovo was a stronghold of the First Bulgarian Empire. A number of coins, specimens and ceramics from the First Bulgarian State were found on the hills on which the capital city of Tarnovgrad stretched. [7] The city was important for the first Bulgarian state. There was an important military garrison in it. In the church of St. Forty Martyrs were found specimens that historians believe are the work of Bulgarians from Volga Bulgaria[requires source].
The Uprising of Asen and Peter began on 26 October 1185, the feast day of St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki, and ended with the restoration of Bulgaria with the creation of the Second Bulgarian Empire, ruled by the Asen dynasty.
Veliko Tarnovo, originally Tarnovgrad (Търновград), grew quickly to become the strongest Bulgarian fortification and most prosperous city during the second half of the High and the Late Middle Ages and also most important political, economic, cultural and religious centre of the empire. In the 14th century, the city was described by Bulgarian cleric Gregory Tsamblak as "a very large city, handsome and surrounded by walls, with 12,000 to 15,000 inhabitants".,[7] the fortress of Tsarevets being the primary fortress and strongest bulwark from 1185 to 1393, housing the royal and the patriarchal palaces.
In the 14th century, as the Byzantine Empire weakened, Tarnovo claimed to be the Third Rome, based on its preeminent cultural influence in Southeastern Europe.
As the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire, Tarnovo was a quasi-cosmopolitan city, with many foreign merchants and envoys. Tarnovo is known to have had Armenian, Jewish and Roman Catholic ("Frankish") merchant quarters, besides a dominant Bulgarian population. The discovery of three Gothic heads of statuettes indicates there may have also been a Catholic church.

DA4 Required I build a model of a virus. I decided to represent it as one of those plug-and-play software toys. In retrospect I should have used those Lego Dimension disks, oh well.
The back panel is derived from builder "Trokodile's" idea for combining the wedges and the triangle plates.
Of all the times through the years I have been down to the sea to take winter pictures, I think this was the fastest one to make my fingers as good as useless.
"Only" - 16 C (it was over -40 C up north last night) today but a stubborn wind that made it feel so much colder.

One of Sanders Services fleet of VDL SB200 chassis/Wright Solar bodied B44F buses stands in the rain in Wells next the Sea, 29th October 2020. This was a rather rushed shot using the camera on my Samsung A7 phone as I was on my way back to our accommodation from the local supermarket loaded down with shopping. Unfortunately, I failed to ensure that I had a shot of the vehicle registration and therefore which of the fleet of nine VDL’s (400-408) this is I can not say.
I have searched the internet and have noticed the Sanders Services branding on this vehicle is not the standard branding and not on any photograph I can find, perhaps someone can identify this vehicle from this branding.
After further studies I am 99% certain this is 408 (YJ60 GDX)

Spending your final years with a bucket on your head probably isn't what this boat would have hoped for!
After the long hot summer of 2018, the weather has taken its toll on the water levels at Ladybower, Derwent and Howden. This photo was taken late September and the levels dropped some more since then, revealing the remains of Ashopton and Derwent villages. I've not had chance to go and see the remains of the villages yet, but I hope to visit at some point.
The lines of pillars on the left of the photo are remains of an old railway used for transporting stone up the valley for construction of the dam walls.
The amount of parking space required in commercial and office districts is staggering.
Just imagine how much space could be freed for nicer things than just hulking, immobile pieces of metal and plastic, if everyone, on average, used her or his car to go to work or to go shopping only 50% of the time he or she does now. I'm not even expecting people to give up their beloved private transportation completely.
Then behind the windows in this shot there would have been life, and people, and movement, as it should be. And the bike rack would have been full.
First roll of black & white film I use on this camera and first roll of Tri-X 400 I ever shot. The entire roll was accidentally exposed at ISO 160 but apparently that did not matter.

"No, he is not the brightest mask in the storehouse, but he exhibits unquestioning loyalty to me. After all, thoughts of rebellion require a brain, do they not?" — The Shadowed One
Still finding unseen work in folders, this one required a lot of lens flare and heat noise clean up (about 100° that night), probably why it just sat there. The building burned down years ago, but the sign's still there, looming over the desert floor. (edit: nope, it's also gone) Night, 4-minutes of full moon, street lights and white LED.
I would like to substitute my typical photo description style with a rant today.
As usual on a photo excursion day, I set my alarm for 4 am, but again, as usual, it wasn't required. I was on the road early, with two photo subjects in mind: grizzly bear and great grey owl.
My optimism grew when I saw fresh bear scat on the road. Where there is bear scat, there was bear. The key word being 'was', since I couldn't find a footprint and there was no sign of said bear. After an hour of looking in the vicinity, I gave up and moved on to my next project. Bear 1 - Larry 0.
I was about to give up on the morning when, much to my surprise I saw the owl perched on a power line. I coasted to a stop, turned around and parked on the other side of the road. The owl was immediately aware of my presence, of course, but he didn't seem to mind. I was able to get some photos, while hopefully waiting for him to fly down and pounce on some unsuspecting rodent or rabbit.
Then, everything about the owl's morning (evening?) and my photo opportunity went wrong. Three vehicles stopped and several people jumped out, making quite a racket. They could not have made more commotion if one of them had hit a complete card bingo on seniors' smoking night (if there were such a thing).
People were scurrying between my parked vehicle and the owl. My eye had been glued to the viewfinder until then and I finally looked up and noticed right away that these were actually wildlife 'types' with serious camera gear. Ah, this wasn't bad at all... comrades in arms!
However, my good thoughts immediately turned black again as the owl became stressed and flew to the next perch, on top of a power pole. The group did not give up and several chased after him. I must say at this point that an extremely kind gentleman came over and said hello to me and upon seeing that I had a Nikon camera, he offered to let me borrow his 400 mm prime lens. I thought, hmmm, well your group's poor behavior has the owl stressed out but wow, a chance to use some professional glass like that! How quick our attitudes can change when we have something to gain. I was at once excited and ashamed.
That kind gentleman went to his vehicle to get the lens, while several in the group continued to harass the owl. Finally, the great raptor had enough and he flew off into the woods, just as the man returned to lend me his lens. Another man also came over to my vehicle and proudly proclaimed, 'Wow, do you know who we are?'
Yes, I knew who you were. The British Columbia Field Ornithologists... in town for their Annual General Meeting. All I have to say is, shame on you. What an example of ornithologists behaving badly, interrupting an owl while it was hunting, chasing it from one perch to the next and finally into the woods.

An image taken in response to the Macro Mondays' group weekly theme of "Into The Woods". For the avoidance of any doubt, the piece of eggshell is less than 1" in both height and width. ;)
Let's hope that this is the result of an uncomplicated birth rather than the underhand actions of some other bird or animal!!
HMM to all in the group.
