One of a flock of 70 or so birds that turned up to feed on trees in the car park of the local Miners Welfare Club, which were part of the major irruption to Britain in winter 2016/2017. I remember seeing the sighting on Facebook Notts Birders page at 10:30 am that morning and made a rapid dash up there in the car that lunchtime, for a very entertaining and fairly fruitful afternoon's photography; all the more entertaining (?!) for having to look out for and dodge welfare club members driving in (and out!) from time to time.
Thanks for viewing and thank you for your comments and faves

Contest #4 -- Architecture Reflections on Water
Kittilä, Lapland, Finland
After spending a week in the mountain range of Finnish Lapland, I am back to my desk. This is the first photo I developed from my abundant raw materials.
Just back home after an amazing 10 day trip around Scandinavia. With a group of other great photo-togs and led by David Clapp and Antony Spencer. Will do a full blog write up later. Off to go pick up the pooch and go for a long walk. It has been a long couple of last days. Last night no sleep just shooting Aurora all night (temps from -25 to -37 C) then 3 flights yesterday and driven from Heathrow this morning. Bushed!
This one was taken in the fantastic Lofoten Islands Norway.
Cheers to all the guys who made this a top trip hope everyone gets home ok.

-Norway-
Hiked multiple days in a row through the rain along cliffs to the same location until the weather conditions finally satisfied me. First hike was accompanied by wind and rain so strong that rain droplets were actually flying upwards because of the winds gusting through the fjords. I sat in astonishment as droplets of rain flew in the opposite direction right before my eyes. Truly a phenomenon that only presents its self with the right conditions. I first saw a shot of this location when i was 14 years old and on that day i vowed to put a bit of spare change aside each year until i have enough to witness its beauty with my own two eyes. Five years later i found myself in Europe and decided there is no way i was leaving that continent without photographing Norway, this is the end result. I give thanks to my buddy Alex for being such a patient trooper and posing for me. Norway and this location will truly always be in my heart.
