The other night, I dug out a box of some of my darkroom prints from college. Many have deteriorated over time, so I thought it was time to try to preserve them digitally. My scanner won't scan these days, so these are photos of the prints captured as naturally as possible. I had to do some cropping, but they are basically as printed and mounted originally in the early 70's. Some don't have names so I'll just leave it as a file number.
Saw this little bird down at the harbour, sitting on a hawser rope that is attached to the harbour wall one end and a historical Steam tug the other, On close inspection it is a very sick Rock pipit, what I thought was the frayed rope is in fact a club foot. It did fly off, but I do wonder if it survived.
I also saw a Kingfisher against the harbour wall (never seen one before) but it was gone before the camera was out of my pocket. Not a brilliant pic, but I was getting wet!

A Rock Island Rail Train passes through Lurand, MS. heading south to Swan Lake to interchange with Canadian National.
Just prior to sunrise this past Sunday morning where the creek Rock Run enters the Susquehanna River. The sky was very pretty there for my daughter and I at sunrise.
f/16 at 4 Seconds (the 4 seconds was enough to smooth out the flow from the creek to get the smooth muted reflection in the water and see the details under the water surface too.) This was captured with the Hoya ND64 filter (6 stops).
If you look at the post below in the comments you will also note that this earlier morning shot you can see a difference in the water level, which I do not remember noting while out there. The water level in the river dropped some while we were there (about 30 minutes between the shots).
I assume this was from the tide potentially where the river enters the Chesapeake Bay not far down river from this location - couple miles.
This is a very popular place in the Hocking Hills. On a mid-afternoon weekday there was a steady stream of people. I had to wait for a while and time it in between the crowds to get this shot.

Derelict station, soon to be demolished.
The railroad ceased to be, in March of 1980.

Chicken Rock is a very small island just south west of the Isle of Man. The lighthouse on it was established in 1875 and has been automated since 1960
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!!!
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.
Inukshuk rock art, at dusk at Ambleside beach in West Vancouver, British Columbia. The light was beautiful that night.
Little something different this time, a common pigeon! Wanted to experiment with the newer curved bits, had a blast making this little guy.
Enjoy, let me know what you guys think in the comments!
Note: The two 30602 Slope, Curved 2 x 2 Lip elements on the chest were supposed to be purple, not dark purple, but the BL seller made a mistake. Hope to update those soon.
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.
"Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process."

What was said to not be in the lead was. But on the Wheeling you sometimes have to suck it up. There is no such thing as a quick drive over to Carrollton, so when you show up and are gifted with this up front, well, you may as well shoot it. The one off "what the hell is that paint job" leads 701 past the marble orchard towards Gambrinus.
When visiting Bandon Beach, many of the features protruding out of the water (like the comments shot) get all of the attention, and rightly so given their unique nature.
I imagine this large rock towards the rear of the beach gets little attention. He stands there like a sentinel, watching on as everyone focuses in the other direction.
Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!
