The small tractors that you see in the Kaiserstuhl wine region have been specially designed to drive between the rows of vines or fruit trees. This one reminded me of characters in children's books: Tractor Mac and Thomas the Tank Engine.
Not sure if this little barn will last another winter, but it looks like the tree decided to help protect it over the years...
Small Axe is by Bob Marley and is one of my reggae favourites. This was another uplifting view from the top of Boredale pass on the bridleway to Patterdale. It's been fairly wet and dismal since so I was very lucky to get such great views.
Small In Frame - It took me a while to come around with the small in frame trend, but I think the switch to mirrorless and going back to using a zoom lens helped me explore and appreciate this type of photography more. The subject/eye autofocus allows me to compose these images real time, no more moving the focus point or focusing and recomposing. With a zoom, I am able to capture a portrait and a wider angle shot from the exact same spot I am standing. This is especially useful for fast subjects like hummingbirds - by the time you move, they are off the perch!
Loved the juxtaposition here of the colorful hummingbird with the dry vegetation.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!
Sunrise at one of the smallest beaches on Harris and Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, this place just has loads and loads of opportunities and compositions. I opted for a 206 second exposure to smooth out the sea and give surrealism to the clouds, it was always going to be 3 x1 crop.
I found all of these old hand written pleadings between the leaves of this book today. Under the hand of a man long since gone. And a thank you note received from a friend, appreciated and hidden for safe keeping 60 years ago.
The northbound chase of the third Dakota and Iowa train of the day (the Sioux City to Hawarden job) only yielded a few shots as it was relatively short distance, the light was generally wrong, and the day was winding down. This was by far my favorite of the mini chase of this train seen here in the small town of Akron. They are passing one of the very few surving Milwaukee Road depots along the line, that seems to have lasted because it has long been privately owned.
This is right about MP 12.3 on what was historically the thirty-seventh sub of the Milwaukee Road's Minnesota-Dakota Division in the road's last years. Here are DAIR SD40-2s 3029 and 3025 (EMD blt. Jun. 1979 and Jun. 1980 as MP 6041 and BN 8117 respectively) leading a moderately sized train of tanks, gons, and aggregate hoppers.
