Happy shortest day!
The moment of solstice falls tonight, December 21st, but unusually it's not until tomorrow morning that the solstice's closest sunrise will be celebrated at Stonehenge- seen here silhouetted by glow from the lights of Larkhill Camp.

It's nearly 40 miles of descending 1.25% grade from Mountainair to Belen, NM on the Belen Cutoff. Near the middle of it, the tracks traverse the narrow confines of Abo Canyon to squeeze through the Manzano Mountains.
Here, a short stack train rolls westward at Scholle as it prepares to enter Abo Canyon behind me. Scholle was the end of double-track from the east prior to BNSF opening a second main through the canyon in 2011.

Stack Rock Fort.
Dai the Drone was with me while I did some work down in West Wales. Took my lunch at the Sandy Haven Beach car park and Dai took a quick flight out to see the Fort just off the shore.
An attempt at focus stacking an amaryllis...
My attempts at getting it all sharp in my last photo blog...read it here:
Focus-Stacking mit jeweils 10 Pics, im Dauerregen (40 l/m²), die Schmucklilie hat`es gefreut!
Focus stacking with 10 pics each, in continuous rain (40 l/m²), the lily was happy!
The sea stacks of Reynisdrangar in Iceland. I took shelter in the cave entrance for this composition whilst the rain and wind soaked... everything.
All tied up...
The Artist Shed is participating in Grab & Go a monthly madness event which runs from October 27th, 12 PM SLT until October 27th, 12 AM SLT (ok, 11:59 PM).
You have only 12 hours to come and slap the board and get a free item. The boards have a limit of 100 so you may want to act fast.
Winter light on Scotland's north east coastline with one of the Duncansby stacks.
Despite the clear skies there was a rim of cloud along the horizon preventing me from capturing the best light.
I counted about 15 seals with cubs on an inaccessible stretch of beach at the bottom of the cliffs. It was great watching their interactions. I was disappointed to see a number of large polystyrene chunks and other litter surrounding them
When arriving in Ethiopia, I always wanted to take photos of the stacks by the roads. It seems I only saw them in the first one or two days, and I don't think I saw them in southern Ethiopia. Thankfully I took a clear picture in the first day.
I guessed they were Teff stacks (so I didn't even ask the guide what they were).

As the storm neared it developed this double and then triple stacked shelf cloud. The core was getting mean looking, it was green but had been turned yellow by the reddish setting sun behind the storm. COOL!
New contract - Go-Ahead London E264 (SN62DFL) on route 291 to Woodlands Estate at Woolwich on 08/12/2018
In readiness for the introduction of Crossrail (or to give its proper name - the Elizabeth Line), the 291 gained a substantial capacity increase in the form of Alexander Dennis Enviro400s, and Go-Ahead won the contract running the route out of it's Morden Wharf garage in Greenwich.
In sharp contrast to the 9.6m Enviro200s they replaced, these vehicles carry roughly the same number of passengers on the lower deck alone as their predecessors did, so the overcrowding issues on the route should no longer be an issue.

South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 390 stone steps down to the footbridge, and 10 metal steps (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 8,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, with a visitor centre, and bird hide at Elin's Tower. The tower provides a place to see Choughs, Peregrine falcon, Kestrel and various marine mammals like the Harbour porpoise seen at high tide, Grey seal, Risso's dolphin and Bottlenose dolphin.
Hay bales shown in previous images are now stacked, awaiting transport.
Out & about in rural Norfolk uk.
Clouds moved very slowly during this 10 minute period. 40x1/60s images taken every 15 seconds were stacked and lightened in Photoshop. The period before sunrise ranged from 15 to 5 minutes. Smokey skies with high clouds provided for a pastel colored fire sky.
Only in Utah you will find amazing stacked rocks with Ravens enjoying the view from above. Don't you wish you could fly.

Exhaust from a power plant stack literally lights up from the sun's rays early in the morning on a wintry December morning.
My first attempt at focus stacking an image, this is 15 images stacked with photoshop
Happy enough with the general result as I can seen now what it is all about, don't know did I pick an image with too much detail or use too many images as there are quiet visible artefacts around the central stalks if the Lily. but it is all about learning for the next image
Situated near the north west tip of Wales, the tiny islet known as South Stack Rock lies separated from Holyhead Island by 30 metres of turbulent sea, surging to and fro in continuous motion. The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising sheer from the sea to 60 metres
I was pleasantly surprised to see some traditionally stacked wheat yesterday - two large fields worth, a lot more hard work than a combine harvester... (although it could still be mechanised - just looks a lot nicer!)

I photographed this wood stack on The Sleat Peninsula near Calligarry. The whole area used to be a big pine forest and all the trees had been cut down for timber, acres and acres of trees felled and piled up, it was quite sad to think that all these magnificent trees would be someone’s coffee table or bed frame next year. I really hope they plant more trees to replace them. We sneaked up the dirt track on a Sunday when none of the workers were around, really high up with an amazing view. When we passed the next day it was a hive of activity with loads of workers driving heavy plant machinery, and more trees falling. :-(
Sleat is a peninsula on the island of Skye in the Highland council area of Scotland, known as "the garden of Skye". It is the home of the clan MacDonald of Sleat. The name comes from the Scottish Gaelic Sléibhte (or Slèite), which in turn comes from Old Norse sléttr (smooth, even), which well describes Sleat when considered in the surrounding context of the mainland, Skye and Rùm mountains that dominate the horizon all about Sleat.
Sleat is a traditional parish that has several communities and two major landowners (the Clan Donald Lands Trust and Eilean Iarmain Estate). Sleat Community Trust (Scottish Gaelic: Urras Coimhearsnachd Shlèite), the local development trust, has purchased the Skye Ferry Filling Station at Armadale and in common with many communities is investigating the options for renewable energy production. It also owns Sleat Renewables Ltd., a timber production company. In October 2007 the Trust hosted the Highlands and Islands Community Energy Company annual conference. Recently the final section of a new double-track road through Sleat to Broadford was finished. Most teenage school-children in Sleat attend Portree High School, where there is a hostel for those who live particularly far away.
So, today I did a quick indoor focus stack image using a bunch of dried roses I'd be saving for when I got a chance. Going in close has given a certain abstractness to it I think.
25 images shot as high quality jpeg, auto aligned and stacked in Photoshop, edited slightly in Lightroom for colour balance, light levels and curves, Cropped and exported to Photoshop for framing and logo/watermark.
