" I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing.I admire him.I pity the creature who does not work at whichever end of the social scale he may regard as being."Roosevelt

A cold winter afternoon... when i'd hoped that the late sun would colour the distant mountain ingleborough.
Despite a favourable forecast... things didn't pan out.
The sun when it appeared was fleeting, weak and watery.... you could say that it was a wasted venture.
However standing on Scales moor, a remote plateau, surrounded by big frozen mountains- Ingleborough, Gragareth and Whernside gives you a lesson in Scale (apt place name then). How tiny we are... insignificant even.
The last thing my Father said to me (and will ever say to me) was that i was an "insignificant piece of Sh#t".
He hoped that this was an insult, and he had wanted to hurt.... however all i heard was the truth..... and the truth is liberating.
My father wasn't loving, or caring, he wasn't a role model, nor was he my idol. A teacher would you believe, an educated man who used his intelligence to brutalise his children.
I endured his apathy towards me, his beatings and his belittlement. And when i got to an age where he could no longer throw me around, i was of no use to him and he retreated to his study and garden. He has never telephoned me, never said well done... that i make him proud.. or that he loves me. When i visited his home... he would be there.... in the garden or another room.
I'll add that this retreat wasn't shame for his parental failings, for he believes that his education means that he is utterly infallible and therefore has no need or capacity for self analysis or desire for atonement. He never bothered with his parents, friends or family, anyone that could have corrected him or set him an example to follow. Anyone in his life was short lived and only because they were of benefit to him in some way...... isn't that ugly?
So he was quite correct, i was insignificant, however he was a man that i never knew and insignificance is very much a two sided coin.
So we're both insignificant...
My insignificance however isn't confined to a pressure cooker of four walls or trimmed privets..... And as i stood utterly alone next to this huge erratic that has endured countless seasons and lifetimes the difference was that i was euphoric in my insignificance. Here there were no confines, or hate or anger or regret.
To add to my euphoria some rare Kelvin- helmholtz clouds formed over Ingleborough... the final piece for my composition.
Life is beautiful!!
Without sounding like a motivational speaker ....
Never forget the bad stuff in life, just don't dwell on it, instead use it to appreciate the good.... and this world will show you some incredible things.
The highest waterfall in the Lake District where Scale Beck falls over a single drop of 170 ft follwed by two more of about 20 ft.

Into the gloomy distance go the intrepid RAF Voyager and a Finnish Air Force F-18 Hornet at RIAT 2023. A symbol of NATO cooperation for now and into the future. It’s hard to believe that the closest to the camera of the two aircraft is the Hornet.
Scales of a Morpho Didius, also known as the Giant Blue Morpho.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpho_didius
These blue scales are extremely hard to photograph to begin with, combined with the transparent scales, it posed a great challenge to my lighting and photographic skills. It turned out to be great and I am happy with the result. It's still not the best and there's many places of improvement. Not much detail can be seen in the transparent scales. Lighting needs some more work.

Je cherchais du lin en fleurs mais en quelques jours les graines s'étaient formées et les magnifiques pétales bleus avaient disparu.
Mais juste à côté le chemin entre les champs cultivés s'était transformé en tableau impresionniste. Une douce allée fleurie de coqueliquots, marguerites et autres fleurs sauvages.
I was looking for flowering flax but within a few days the seeds had formed and the beautiful blue petals were gone.
But right next to it the path between the cultivated fields had been transformed into an impressionist painting. A gentle flowered avenue of poppies, daisies and other beautiful wild flowers.

I certainly have mixed feelings about this. Have been trying something new in post-processing and this is the result.
Wasn't sure if I like it or hate it. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Image taken at Scale Haw Force, one of the many waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales. I took a step back to pay more attention down the stream instead of the waterfall itself.
Focus stacking and blended in the long exposure. Dodge and burn to add light, colour adjustments, added the Orton effect and finished off with a subtle vignette.
Looking a little reptilian, up close and personal with Birmingham's iconic Selfridges building. Known locally as the "Cushion with buttons."

After a mostly sunny, hot day, the sun set to the horizon of the sky. As temps began to fall, a friend and I observed this big snake crossing a highway in front of us. We quickly picked it up out of the asphalt road and moved it to a more remote gravel road before traffic likely would have killed it. The snake was defensive, hissing and striking vigorously. After photos it was released in thick desert scrub to continue it's journey.
