Tasmania, Australia. Shot under slightly difficult conditions, as the wind was blowing spray from the falls right at us. Still, I managed this, which was shot as a vertical panorama (stitched but then cropped later).

Slightly before Valentine's Day...But Could I just say a BIG thank you to everyone who has been so supportive to me, here on Flickr...
Another image from a slightly different perspective of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge as my lovely west coast damsel and I went past the defense batteries and started the downward decent toward Marshall Beach just west of the bridge. Such a contrast as we realized that we had been parked by same location late last summer in the general vicinity of where we were walking but the marine layer was so thick and infusive that literally all that could be seen from that vantage point then was fog. When the Golden Gate Bridge was built, the military originally had wanted the bridge to be painted with black and yellow stripes when they finally agreed to a bridge. There was fear that the bridge would be knocked into the water effectively trapping the fleet stationed at the Presidio from leaving San Francisco Bay. So why is the bridge the reddish orange hue that is now considered iconic? Well when we stopped at the National Parks Station in February to get my NPS Passport Book stamped while my west coast damsel circled as we didn’t find a place to park, I read the story while awaiting my turn. When the steel for bridge arrived at San Francisco, it was painted with an anticorrosive primer that was burnt red and orange. Architect Irving Morrow was struck by the color and preferred it to the greys and blacks of most conventional spans. The ‘international’ orange provided enough contrast to be visible in the fog which as I experienced firsthand literally gets drawn in by the inland heat according to Morrow. Aesthetically speaking it complimented the natural topography of the surrounding hills, the blue waters of the bay and the blues. So, the temporary primer color became the permanent color formulation that Sherwin-Williams created for the span that today is very much its signature.
The exhibition pieces are going well(ish) so this is me today - slightly rough around the edges, but holding on ( hence the buttons).
Perhaps I'll be smiling tomorrow!
A Song Thrush at RHS Hyde Hall!
Slightly smaller than the blackbird, the Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos) has brown upperparts and creamy underparts with obvious dark brown spots. In the UK Song Thrushes are found in the largest numbers in south-east England and East Anglia.
Song thrushes take a variety of food but earthworms form a very important part of the diet. Towards the end of summer if the ground is too hard to obtain earthworms, they take snails and break the shells by tapping them on stones. These 'snail anvils' can often be found in gardens with the remains of a snail around them. This behaviour is unique to the song thrush, but occasionally a blackbird will steal the snail once an unfortunate thrush has carried out the hard work of breaking the shell.

“The greatest things are accomplished in silence—not in the clamor and display of superficial eventfulness, but in the deep clarity of inner vision; in the almost imperceptible start of decision, in quiet overcoming and hidden sacrifice.”
-Romano Guardini, The Lord, trans. Elinor Castendyk Briefs (Chicago: Henry Regnery, 1954), 15.

Could not walk past without a shot of the tree stump in fungi . The stump here gets little sunlight and the rains have been heavy lately , so not too much a surprise .
A slightly different perspective ...

A slightly new viewpoint has opened up after some helpful small tree clearance. 60024 'Clitheroe Castle' has just passed through Lostock Gralam station and is approaching the A556 road overbridge with the morning 6H02 Warrington Arpley to Tunstead empty hoppers.
Slightly comical pigeon with a hairdo just like Alfalfa in "Our Gang"! (Google it, kids).
Where have I seen that sky before? Sky replacement with Luminar 4.
This is a slightly different angle of my previous shot. I think there is going to be lots of those blooming around in Joshua Tree with all the rain California has been getting.
