The pressure and temperature scales for weather measuring on the old wall piece from yesteryear. Still fine today.

Can you see sailors? tip: top left

Tip: zoom in center-bottom left. This is bowsprit, situated in a front of a ship. It is only a fraction of entire length. This is bowsprit o Mir, which is presented in full view on one of my previously posted photo

This image was taken a couple of nights ago whilst exploring a location that got me back into astrophotography.

 

The previous night I had photographed this spot. During that night the Tawney owls were actively calling and I saw a couple of bats fly not too far from where I was setup at.

 

This night the owls were still active but could hear movement in front of me which I believe was a deer, betrayed by the snapping of the fallen branches. Later I heard another behind me, again being betrayed by the fallen branches.

 

Later at about 2:30am, I decided to explore further back to see if there was any new spots to capture the Milky Way.

Yesterday I tried to post a photo of this figurine but Flickr viewed it as inappropriate, so here I am again hoping this time it will work. I've taken it from another angle that doesn't show the figurine's body. It's of Lady Justice and I don't think most of the Lawyers in this country would consider this figurine to be lude. The photo below is the one that was deemed restricted. Personally I think she's lovely!

There are over 50 visible people in this image! Hard to imagine just how small we really are, until you set foot in a place of such scale.

Near Hebden in the HYorkshire Dales.

Brought my pond fish into the house to a fish tank. Having a little fun with them the other day.

Belonging to the same genus as Inca Dove and Common Ground Dove, this small, gray dove with distinctive scale-like feathers is found commonly but discontiguously in S. America (a population in Eastern Brazil and another in Colombia/N. S. America). This is the Ridgway ssp. (note black edging to feathers). A Lifer seen at Hato La Aurora.

People asked what are you going to make with it, sewing needles. So, stick pin for scale.

Yes, I even made the little nuts. Crushed a few in the process. Parts of this were made on a lathe not much newer than after the period this is modeled.

 

See photo stream for other pictures. It took over a year working once a week about 5 hours.

This is one of the most beautiful animals. Unfortunately, its huge plumes were cut off.

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.

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.

 

Early morning look at the old part of Hull City.

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.
