Each year is different, so the date of maximum colour is never the same

Mind you, the birds have beaten you to it - so take a cloth

Cold weather causing smoke along the St. Lawrence river in Ville LaSalle.

still prefer natural light, but I do love the ability to include backgrounds I otherwise couldn't without the extra light. we've been coming here together for the 12+ years we've been together. I have bw film shots of her in the same place from when I was just getting back into photography.

Scottish Rocks

One fine Autumn day at a time when we could wander free

Kaptai Lake is the largest lake in Bangladesh. It is located in the Kaptai Upazila under Rangamati District of Chittagong Division. The lake was created as a result of building the Kaptai Dam on the Karnaphuli River, as part of the Karnaphuli Hydro-electric project.

The day started cold with snow - further snow showers fed through, clearing to another cool night

A decent fall of snow at last although no sun despite some blue sky now and then

It is a few years since I've been - I can feel a trip coming on this year - hopefully

Quite quiet for the time of year

Still finding shots from the last Scotland trip

Not many tourists about - two cars came past but stopped to ask if they would like me to wait whilst I took my photos - Told them I had a clone tool for that sort of thing

LIMNI - ΛΙΜΝΗ

Limni, on the island of Evia, is a small port, beach and tourist resort, which is beautiful the whole year round. It is located 80 km NW of Chalkida and about 150 km from Athens.

The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Just following other peoples lead by posting some Winter shots

Forecast today said frost and fog - just cold and grey - this one from a few weeks back

Another old image

Had a walk in Wensleydale - more akin to Autumn!

Another session thwarted by clouds that covered the sun away - never got the 5x4 out

Fields are sown and/or growing, trees are changing colour. Still pleasant out there but this is the preparation phase for Winter

A visit on a grey day at high tide

A scene I've enjoyed many times over the years

The famous Petronas Twin Towers, view from bottom to the peak during Malaysia day.

A view only Scotland can provide

Went to Upper Wharfedale today - quite windy and saw 12C so needed a coat and hat at times
