I had the pleasure of shooting this waterfall under almost perfect conditions this past weekend. I used an nd filter and polarizer for a long exposure, turning these bubbles into a beautiful swirl!
Have a great day!
Second picture of the series Hat Stone.
(Yes, believe it or not it is the same place, but from a different point of view towards the East and the great stone to the backlight. As explained in the previous picture, the place is very difficult to control light)
Dawn on the El Sombrerico Beach, several minutes before sunrise.
The name of this amazing beach is due to the huge rock shaped like a magician's hat that juts into the sea.
There are not many photographs of the area, may be because access to this beach is a little difficult, so after driving about 20 minutes fully night by a bad gravel road, you reach this cove by small cliffs headlamp in my head.
For this shot, I was lucky clouds drew lines in the sky and I could compose from that angle.
Moon also appears to the center-right of the frame due to missing several minutes for the sun to make his way out on the horizon.
To reach this picture in one unique Raw, I combined a four steps neutral filter and black card technique.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Tuesday. :)

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Previously unpublished archive shot from April 2016. I opted for a square crop to get the symmetry in the background that made the composition sing for me.
I have broken my New Year's Resolution to take and publish at least one photograph per month in an attempt to rekindle my relationship with my camera this year. I have nothing for March I am sad to say. Last night I had intended to get out and capture the most spectacular stratified sunset sky on the beach but sadly my PTSD symptoms were too much for me.
Of course I am hoping to get back on track from April. Trying to convince myself that this is just a minor setback as opposed to a failure.
I hope that you have all had a wonderful weekend and that you enjoy this square crop from my archives. Take care.
Last January, this iconic lighthouse was destroyed in a fierce winter storm. It's not the first time this happened. Since the original was constructed in 1903, it's been knocked down by waves as well as fire. On this occasion, the townsfolk came together to fund a replacement but moved it back several feet from the breakwater on a new foundation. Perhaps that will spare the wooden structure from the worst of the waves as they come crashing ashore in a gale. It still looks a bit unfinished and I'm hoping it will be shingled by cedar shakes as the previous version was.
As for my composition, I was looking to recreate some of the big rollers that come into the harbor from Georgian Bay - using the waves of stone on an adjacent beach.
I've only seen this one other time...small stones clung together and floating on water. There were several of these patches of floating stones. This was on the shore of the ocean, and when I walked back a half hour later, the tide had come in and the floating stones were no longer there.
This is the second time I have been onto this rocky outcrop. Its on the beach below the old shack near the popular Seltjarnarnes Viti, Iceland.
I had to wade in ocean up to my knees to get there which was quite cold in winter in Iceland. Luckily the ocean was calm this day. I did not know if the tide was going up or down when I finally got there. Thinking that I was going to getting into serious trouble if it was going up I started shooting. Again luck was on my side as saw the tide go down. If it hadn´t I would have had to spend part of the night on this small rock outcrop.
The octagon shaped stones are the top of basalt columns that are not that uncommon in lava rock.
Thanks guys in advance for the comments. I read each and every one carefully and with gratitude.

All the buildings on Alonnisos are built like this, although some have been covered with plaster and whitewash
The stepping stones were first laid across the River Dove circa 1890, as the area became more and more popular with Victorian tourists.
In 1934, the stones were acquired by The National Trust and in 2006, Dovedale was declared a National Nature Reserve in order to protect its future.
this is another shot of dunstanburgh castle on the stunning northumberland coastline. thank you for taking the time to look. broken stones paul weller.
Abandoned millstones at Bolehill Quarry in Derbyshire. I always thought that these millstones were destined for flour mills in the U.K. and Europe but apparently some of the stones were about to be shipped for use in paper mills in Norway.
The ruins of an old hunting lodge lies abandoned and derelict at the head of Glen Lochsie, and is where the real ascent up Glas Tulaichean starts. The old stone walls still withstand the test of time but nature is slowly taking over as she always does in the end.
Glas Tulaichean is my 5th Munro of the season and the 28th in total, bringing me to a Munro completion rate of near enough 10%. The mountain stands at 1051 meters (3448 feet) and is the last one I will do as I have now moved away from Scotland and back to my roots in South Yorkshire as the pull of the Grandchildren was just too strong.
Standing stones of Stenness on Orkney, Scotland, UK. This neolithic site is more than 4,000 years old and may be the oldest heritage site in the British Isles. The stones are thin slabs only about 30cm thick but standing 5m tall.

Beneath the sky, beneath the moon
Silver streaks pierce the gloom
Rushes rustle in the breeze
Beside the river, slow with ease
A tranquil spot but hold, see
All it seems is not to be
under the surface peril lies
Though peaceful on the outward side
Raging currents running back
Emptiness turned to black
Boiling low the torrents fray
A defiant cry “come what may”
Attacking bank and cutting bed
Wounds opened, freely bled.
Inside the arena, a surprise
A stone, smoothed and polished lies
Not chipped or beaten in the fight
But beautiful and strong despite
A calm amid the raging storm
A shelter from the angry swam
Stoic and proud and straying ground
It is not broken, it is not drowned
So as I rest under this sky
As voices whisper “cry, baby, cry”
I shall not mourn though I’m alone
Instead, I shall make me this stone
