This is another shot of chain saw marks on a log from a felled oak that I thought resembled rolling waves.
Another from a trip to Africa in 2018.
Thanks to all who comment or mark as a favorite it really is much appreciated.

A little roller coaster at the Bear Lake County Fair had this amazing dragon figurehead on the front end.
Whilst these rollers are found in South Africa I've never seen them there so these two were a first for me. They were in the gardens of the hotel every morning along with the ubiquitous LBR's (Lilac Breasted Roller) who made a helluva racket chasing away the crows.
This was unfortunately the closest I could get to them and they never descended from the tree tops (at least whilst I was about).

Film testing a 1938 Voigtlander Brilliant. Iām not sure whether it is meant to be this blurry, or whether I didnāt put the glass back together correctly after dismantling and cleaning the fungus! Or it could have been camera shake, as it only shoots at a leisurely 1/50th second. Oh well, interesting effect.
I only got 8 shots off the roll, as I took the first four on the paper backing, didnāt wind it on enough after loading āāļø.

Many of my wildlife shots, particularly birds, although generally acceptable, are spoiled by an unattractive background. This often happens when they are shot against a blank or featureless sky. I have found that the Luminar 4 editing program is not just a boon for landscape photographers, but is also a fun way to give the birds a second chance. Sky replacement in these shots is not an attempt to deceive - just a bit of fun to let the subjects have their moment in the sun (or cloud, or storm, or sunset!).
The Lilac-breasted Roller and its perch are absolutely real.

An Indian roller (coracias benghalensis) using its high perch to send its call across open land near Panama, in Sri Lanka. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
The Cuckoo-roller is the only bird in the Order Leptosomiformes.
It is a large bird, almost the size of a dove, that inhabits the forests of Madagascar.
It was very difficult to find and even more difficult to photograph. He was almost always facing us in a dark place and against the white sky behind the leaves
This was the only record and the only time I saw this emblematic species.

Less colourful than the more frequently photographed Lilac-breasted Roller with which it shares the same Namibian habitat.
While driving on Highway 12, somewhere between Capitol Reef NP and Kodachrome Basin State Park, USA, I checked the rearview mirror and saw this scene that reminded me somehow of a roller coaster.
taken with fujifilm x-t1 and xf55-200 zoom leens.

L591 rolls north on the Mayville Sub with everyone's favorite geep, GMTX 2322. This Milwaukee Road branch once stretched all the way to Fon Du Lac, passing in close proximity to the legendary Byron Hill. In the WSOR days, it's simply a short branch to Mayville. However, the 7 mile line is packed full of interesting locations such as this one, where they traverse a roller-coaster-like profile by the trash dump south of Mayville.
I had intentions to come back in the Autumn to do this, but I never made good on those plans, leaving a pretty gaping hole in my coverage. A major regret of mine.
As the temperature hits the mid 20s it's tee-shirt, sun screen and heat haze for this shot of Colas Tug 60056 tackling the roller coaster at Applehurst Junction with old friend 6E32, the 08.55 Preston Lanfina - Lindsey Refinery discharged bitumen tanks.
The hump in the background is where this freight-only route avoiding Doncaster, crosses the ECML.
