This is a photo from Millcreek canyon looking west toward Salt Lake City. I took some photos into the glare of the sun thinking something might work. My camera got the photo but Lightroom helped it along.
This view is SW of the Rockyview Hospital that is surrounded with the glow of evening light. Fronted with the frozen-over reservoir, patterns in the bluish colored ice are revealed in the shadows.
Madeira Terrace, Madeira Walk, lift tower and related buildings were built between 1890 and 1897 to the design of the Brighton Borough Engineer Peter Lockwood. Over the years the structure has rusted and begun to fall in places. In 2012 the Council began to fence of the fallen sections until structural engineers said the entire length of the structure needed to be fenced off. It has remained abandoned and derelict since then but a charity was established to with a campaign to 'Save Madeira Terraces'., so far raising approx. £26,000 towards the £millions the work will cost. This year work has at last begun to restore 41 of the arches.
I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh no
I don't need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, can't bite the devil on my tongue, you know
I don't need to be loved by you
See his hands on my waist, thought you'd never be replaced, baby
Ooh, you know it's true, yeah
That I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh no
I don't need to be loved by you, yeah
La-la, la-la, la
La-la
You know it's true
You know it's true
As some of you may know Daisy the White Stork is on the run in Somerset. Last seen today at 2:45pm along Bradley stream lane, just south of RSPB Ham wall, but moved whilst I was on the phone to Zac... ... If you see her over the next few days please contact me and call Zac Hollinshead (Zoo director) on 07540123917. This bird needs to be returned to her family at the Wild Zoological Park in Stourbridge (Midlands). She has 'no fear' and is at serious risk of predation. Fingers crossed we can get her home safely.
The name Cape Disappointment comes from British explorer John Meares, who named it in 1788 after he mistakenly thought the mouth of the Columbia River was a bay. The bar has sunk over 2,000 large ships and is often called the graveyard of the Pacific. The 53 foot tall lighthouse was constructed in 1856. It was electrified in 1927 and automated in 1937. Another house was built to enable the Coast Guard to monitor ship traffic. Life saving efforts begun in the 1870's by the light keepers led to the establishment of a Coast Guard base.
The groynes on the beach at Boscombe that stop the sand being washed away. An opportunity to use a slow shutter speed and get a long exposure using my tripod and an ND Filter.
For those of you who have never seen me or have not seen me for a while... I am doing well!

I won't make Steve take another shot so heres a cloudy view of Wassen. I slept in a little this morning for the first time on the trip but finally wandered out in the rain. The weather definitely led me to explore new spots that I might not have otherwise and this was one of my favorites. A northbound intermodal crosses the massive arch bridge on the 2nd level of the Wassen Spirals with a uniquely painted Re4/4 leading.
...well, that's my excuse for merging two photos into one – uploading one image to Flickr's data centre rather than two – half the number of pixels to be stored.
Two images taken 2 and a half minutes apart. GBRf Class 66/7 No. 66737 on the high road working 6D50 from Hull Dairycoates to Rylstone while DB Cargo Class 66/0 No. 66207 takes the low road into Milford working 6M16 from Wilton EFW Terminal to Knowsley. 26 November 2025.
I've been visiting this place known locally as the "Graff Factory" for a couple of years and in all that time, the Street Fighter graff pieces remained intact and untagged. Tonight I found it mostly ruined by a graff "artist" who is nowhere near as good. It won't be long before Scorpion is gone altogether...
See him there with the blue hoodie? The walking helps his circulation - not sure about the weather! We were looking for a small container that accidentally blew into the lake and hoped it had reached the other side.
We bumped into a couple from Three Hills who we hit it off with on our visit to Ixtapa. They were staying at the same Condo (they own 2 suites) and are also in the dog business like us.
Valina was more than willing to let me do my first swimming pool photo shoot and in the Infinity Pool to boot. There was no way that I was going to miss out on the opportunity to float, take photos, and use my Fuji X-A1 and the 35mm f/1.4 lens in low light.
We were visiting Spello, a medieval walled town of pre-Roman origins preserving three Roman gates and many other remains from the Roman age. Stone upon stone, in such ancient towns every inch is colonized and civilized. Houses, churches, palaces and towers are huddled together like male Emperor penguins in a colony during incubation. As you are strolling around, breathing with the breath of history, you should expect some suprise at every bending - a flight of steps running up towards the bright colours of a walled garden, an enticing alley carved out of the crowded buildings, a small curiosity shop or a brewery where you can eat some local food while tasting their (usually quite good) handmade beer...
Here I have captured a typical view of Spello (Fonte del Mastro street, looking downwards). The small church at the dead center of the framing, suppressed after the unification of Italy in the 19th century, is now home to the European Studies Center of Medieval Music "Adolfo Broegg" (sorry, in spite of the international vocation of the Center, the site is almost entirely in Italian).
But there is even more than this to Umbria - more than simply this flavourful cocktail of nature, history, and art. One of the things I love of Umbria is the Umbrian people. The Umbrians are generally friendly, even congenial, and they enjoy taking (or rather tasting) life at an easy pace - which is particularly refreshing for people like us, coming from antipodean places where every day is just a new damn hectic day. This quiet, typical view of Spello shows just a minimal touch of human presence: a man climbing the steep paved street on his Vespa scooter - admittedly only a negligible bit faster than walking. But then, I am sure that it was just a way to save his breath for something more important :-)...
I have obtained this picture by blending a "fake" (i.e. from a single RAW file) exposure bracketing [-1.0/0/+1.0 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot).
I've fought through the pain
Through the wood through the steel and the blood
I've broken you #FatherFreud just as much as you broke my spirit the past weeks
And now.. Me and Bunny,
We're together again❤️

To watch that match right now:
I spent hours standing in the cold watching cloud pass by overhead, waiting for a gap to open up so that I could capture the Milky Way arched over this old church out in the country.
Finally it opened for a very short time and I managed to squeeze in a few shots to make up this panorama. On a long night with very little reward you could say that this shot was my saving grace.
