This lighthouse stands on a rock to the south of the Isle of Man. It is a "mark of the course" for many offshore yacht races from Ireland. Due to the tides around this southerly point the sea can be "quite lumpy" here. Not this day though.

The Bass Rock, in the Firth of Forth, east of Edinburgh, is the largest single island Gannet colony in the world.There are over 150,000 Gannets on the Rock.
I'm always amazed at all the different colours and patterns these guys sport.
Here is a group meeting in progress.
Living in the Pennines, Rock Pipit is a bird that I don't see very often, yet they are a common breeder around the rocky coasts of Britain. They are a bit bigger than Meadow Pipit, and have darker legs and smudgy breast markings with rather grey plumage. Here's a Meadow Pipit in a similar pose showing paler legs and crisper breast markings: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/54475808177/in/photolist
I photographed this Rock Pipit on the Isle of Mull this spring where they were common and confiding.
After leaving the last cave we continued our walking around the Big and Little Collapse Dolines and we admire the landscapes of the Karst region :)
The Karst region, famous for its karst phenomena, is a unique corner of Slovenia. It was here that the first studies were conducted on how water shapes, hollows out and dissolves limestone rocks, and the word "karst" itself comes from the name of this region.

Po wyjściu z ostatniej jaskini kontynuowaliśmy nasz spacer szlakiem wzdłuż Wielkiego i Małego Zapadliska oraz podziwialiśmy krasowe krajobrazy regionu Karst :)
Region Karst, słynący ze zjawisk krasowych, to wyjątkowy zakątek Słowenii. To tu prowadzone były pierwsze badania związane z tym, jak woda kształtuje, drąży i rozpuszcza skały wapienne i samo słowo "kras", pochodzi właśnie od nazwy tego regionu.

I photographed this small cascade several times over the five days that we were camped nearby. Every time I did so I tried to interpret the mood of the scene and create a complementary composition and every time I walked away I felt as if I was missing the point.
Late in the afternoon on the day before we broke camp I returned to this spot and sat quietly next to my camera, once again studying the details before me. The smooth texture and patterns of the flowing water, the randomness and colors of the of various sized rocks, the soft plunges and the wonderfully illuminated flow spilling off the largest rock in this scene all fought for my attention. I still felt confused. But I got down low and started to framed up a much tighter composition than I had done in my previous attempts. Then I spoke to the creek and said "show me your secrets" and release the shutter.
Looking at the display on the back of my camera I felt I was on to something. The composition looked pleasing (much more pleasing than previous attempts.) It took a few more attempts to dial in the exposure and while doing so I decided that I would name this photograph "Secrets" which in turn made me think that a black and white image might be more appropriate for telling the story of the "Secrets" of Rock Creek. And that's the story behind the creation of this photograph.

Chitons (pronounced ‘kite-ons’) are enigmatic and fascinating marine invertebrates. They are known from fossils dating back at least 300 million years, and have changed little with the passing of time
Chitons belong to the phylum Mollusca (along with sea snails, sea slugs and bivalves), and are sometimes known as ‘coat-of-mail shells’, which alludes to their carapace of eight overlapping and interlocking plates that resemble the chain mail sported by knights of old. They have small heads, and a lack of tentacles and eyes means it’s not always obvious which end is which.

A visit to Red Rock Crossing, located at the Crescent Moon Picnic Area in Sedona, Arizona is home to some of the most photographed scenery in the southwest, including Cathedral Rock. Oak Creek meanders past the base of Cathedral Rock and through forested groves, and the banks are covered with dozens of stacked rock totems, looking like a miniature Stonehenge. Just a little further down the trail is Buddha Beach, considered to be the site of a powerful vortex. Believers come to meditate, chant and create whimsical rock cairns. The vortex energy here is said to be feminine, a very nurturing experience. Source: www.sedonaverdevalley.org/sedona/theheartofsedona.html

Just a wee picture I took one freezing morning from the bottom of my garden of my Sister and Asha walking across the rocks on Ballywhiskin Beach
A rock pipit (Anthus petrosus) from our neighbourhood.
Many of its species migrate to western or southern Europe for winter, but on our island we have many throughout the year.
