Rock'n'Roller Coaster riders get launched from 0 to 60 in 2.8 Seconds to the music of Aerosmith on Sunset Blvd. at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida on Monday, May 24, 2021.
I love to capture motion anywhere but especially at Walt Disney World. Who has the ride's soundtrack going through though head right now? :->
…always amazes me how plants and particularly trees manage to survive in seemingly little soil.……

This is a photo of the refraction of sunlight on a submerged river rock. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical.
Tricky shot to get this one .... I had to traverse rocks that were as slippy as ice, then slide down the last few feet on my bum to get beside the stream to get the angle right. One of the tripod legs was clinging onto a wee rock ledge on the other side of the stream and it kept raining! But I got there eventually :)
Blue Rock Thrush (Monticola solitarius) is a member of the thrush family (Turdidae). Seen in high altitude mountainous terrain. This is an uncommon species n may be a visitor to the terrain but recently come across with a pair in Munnar, Idukki, Kerala, Southern India which is more friendly and drastically changed his habits to the changing scenario - garbage explorator!!!
I thought I’d get out under the stars for a few hours last night and get some shots, this wasn’t the shot I was going for this was my plan b. I wanted to shoot a field of Daffodils but the flowers weren’t in great shape due to the cold weather I guess. Anyway I’m pleased I headed out :)
Awaiting a route into the Houston Terminal, this pair of GEs sits on Main 1 of the Glidden Sub southwest of Houston in Sugar Land. Soon things will clear and they'll get their 18,000 tons of rock moving again.

European Rock Pipit, in a larger composition (which I mostly prefer).
Doesn't always have to be that close.
Handheld shot, distance about 20 mtrs.

Solid Rock
Goanna
Out here nothin' changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the comin' of the light o' day
You're talkin' 'bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace
Well
Well just a minute now
You're standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Right down the line
It’s not often (ever really) that I’ll take the camera out in the midday sun. It’s even more rare that it won’t be on a tripod.
Broke both of these self imposed rules on Sunday. We had been driving for a while, and my girls needed lunch, so a man is taking his life into his hands when he wants to stop roadside to have a look at a ‘composition’.
I jumped down into the scrub, watching step by step for any sign of an over friendly snake, and knocked out a few quick hand held images.
Hope you like ‘“Solid Rock”
Cheers, Mike
yes I did just make that pun
no I am not sorry
My entry to Bio-Cup 2021 Round 1. The theme was Media and Entertainment, with my subtheme being Music.
I’ve wanted to do a Crystal King revamp for a really long time, and such a terrible pun gave me a great opportunity to do so. I knew right from the start that I just had to give him a little crystal mohawk, with the leather jacket and speaker being added later on as I explored the concept. When I finished, he did end up being rather top heavy due to the guitar, so I attached one of those old 6x2x2 weighted bricks to his back, which surprisingly solved the issue.

The picture quality’s better but I prefer the angle of the one I used.
Messing around in the studio, before a cheerleader photo shoot. White Lightnings Back light, Hair light, bottom reflector.
Thanks amigo for being my model next time cut your damn nails. JK :-)
This image is from my August 2011 shoot at Porth Nanven in Cornwall. Having already made some fairly standard landscape images using a wide angle lens, I decided to change to a longer focal length in an attempt to create a more abstract feel to the landscape.
Another sunset in New Brighton North West England
The Original Perch Rock
Perch Rock, New Brighton Lighthouse, sits next to the fort, it was originally, a wooden "Perch", hence its name. A large post held a light on top and was supported by a sort of tripod. It was erected on the Black Rock in 1683 by the Liverpool Corporation.
When foreign ships, passed the old perch, they were charged sixpence for its respect and to keep it in repair. But it was often washed away and a boat had to be launched to recover it from Bootle Bay. In February 1821, the pilot boat "Liver" crashed into the perch and carried it away. It has been said that it was washed away in March 1824 and not recovered until the December.
However the cost of replacing it all the time grew too expensive and it was decided to build a new one.
Construction of the Lighthouse
The foundation stone of the new lighthouse was laid on 8th June 1827 by Thomas Littledale, Mayor of Liverpool. It was designed on the lines of Eddystone by Mr. Foster and built of marble rock from Anglesey by Tomkinson & Company. It rises 90 feet above the rocks and is considered to be a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The granite cost 1/6d a cubic foot.
Each piece of stone is interlocked into the next. The whole stonework, when finished , was coated with what is known as "Puzzellani" a volcanic substance from Mount Etna which, with age, becomes rock hard. The first 45 feet is solid. A spiral staircase leads to where the keeper lived and then on to the lantern house. The revolving light was said to be the first in the country. It cost £27,500 to construct.
The Lighthouse In Use
Work was only possible at low tide and it was not completed until 1830. Its first light shone on the 1st March of that yea and consisted of two white flashes, followed by one red, with a range of 14 miles. The light was 77 feet above the half-tide level. It was eventually electrically connected to the mainland.
The Lighthouse last shone its light on 1st October 1973 as it was no longer needed on account of the radar system operating in the River.

A Rock Island Rail Freight Train is seen here heading south through Tutwiler, MS., on their way south to Swan Lake to interchange with Canadian National.
GMTX GP15-1 #415 has since been repainted into the Rock Island Rail paint scheme and renumbered to #1106, it has also been moved to Gulfport, MS., where it works along the former Gulf & Ship Island, now owned by Rock Island Rail.
Rock City, north of Valier in North Central Montana along the Two Medicine River.
The area is known for its sandstone pillars often refereed to as hoodoos. The hoodoos have been created from the soft sandstone being eroded away by wind and water. Often a harder layer of stone remains on top of the pillars to give them kind of a mushroom shape. There are hundreds of these hoodoos spread over the landscape above the river’s edge with areas you can walk between them which gives the area the impression of being a city. The pillars raise from just a few feet high to over 20 feet for some of the taller ones.

Independence Rock was the most-noted landmark on the emigrant trails west of Fort Laramie. An oval outcrop of granite rock, it is 1,900 feet long, 700 feet wide, and rises 128 feet above the range.

Another Bat-Sunday rock concert.
*********************************
I am (very slowly!!!) starting to disassemble my Space 2019 builds and packing them away.
It will take a long time, because I want to pack them in their original form and in numbered bags like they were when I bought them.
Figuring out what I have modified in the last year and digging up all the original bricks is taking a lot of time.
But building the sets once more in their original form is fun again.
All in all it will take several months before I am completely ready to let go of space 2019. It is just not that interesting for images I thing.
Rock Creek Canyon is a tremendously scenic part of the (former) Rio Grande. You can see the tracks to the right and the left. The tracks head away from the camera roughly one mile and then come back out, slowly gaining altitude. You can see the westbound manifest on the left, exiting the canyon. Note the substantial difference in elevation between the tracks to the right and the tracks to the left. A little fall foliage at the base of the canyon is just an added bonus.

Taken from cliff above. The sea was too rough to walk to this via Camel Rock on the beach, (in the background). However, this is a rather good view from the cliff above. Access from Camel Rock carpark and goes above Camel Rock and winds along the cliff to a headland further on. Wet and cold this day so very lucky to get some photos.
