♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥

There are few places more magical, more inspirational, more stirring than the utterly spellbinding series of waterfalls on the Glen Brittle river on the Isle of Skye, including the iconic Fairy Pools and this wonderful waterfall affectionately nicknamed the Washing Machine Falls.

 

One of the joys in photographing this particular waterfall is the wonderful channel that not only contains some gorgeous boulders and rocks but the colour of the water within the channel is a stunning shade of green. I have visited this place so many times and yet the sense of anticipation you experience during the thirty minute wander down and then up the trail that leads you to some of the finest small waterfalls, aqua green water plunge pools and even an underwater arch the UK has to offer is palpable.

 

The geology in this area is stunning with a million compositions of a million images to capture.

..when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

 

I've been MIA for a couple of days..we've been getting last minute things before the big day taken care of, but tonight I decided to share this with you. My son with his friend at my friends house. They have the best Christmas tree in town!!

 

I will try to catch up with your streams tonight and/or tomorrow at lunch time..have a great week ahead..3 days left :)

It wasn't until I was editing this image that I noticed this friendly gesture. Bonus shot !

It stopped raining, and we had some nice clouds, so I grabbed my camera gear and headed north to Alviso, a small town in the San Francisco Bay area. I positioned my car for this one-point perspective shot.

 

I processed a realistic, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Midnight - moonlight - flashlight - long-exposure.

Central Alberta.

The recent warm spell seems to have started stirrings beneath the surface. I spotted this Mirror Carp slowly cruising in the upper wamer layers of a local pond yesterday.

Looks like spring has sprung in my village.

Girl in the corner, stirring her soda

Biting the shit out of her straw

Ready to go out, only her body tells her no

Pretty but sad inside

Isn't she beautiful?

Queen of the ball even when she's home alone

For Baz, my favorite Edgerunner. I love you.

Stirring up the kettle corn at Christmas in the Park, downtown San José, California. What you don't see is the fan behind the guy blowing that wonderful aroma out into the crowd.

A stirring sight and sound indeed, Deltic's 55016 & 55015 play to the gallery at the first KWVR Diesel Gala November 6th 1988.

Gordon Highlander has had seven owners in preservation and due to a fire near the end of its BR career in 1981 was only ever considered as a parts donor, the rest as they say is history!

a neighborhood vehicle stirring up memories of my first car while stationed in Germany in the 60's......

A stirring sight and sound. Two Spitfires Mk 1a, flying with a Spitfire Mk Vc (leftmost in the picture). The Spitfire Mk V was introduced late in 1940, after the Battle of Britain, and was essentially a Mk 1 with a more powerful RR Merlin engine. The 'a' and 'c' designations indicate the different armament that could be carried in the wings.

Improved radios had also been designed by then, too, and a slightly different aerial mast design, without a wire leading to the fin, can be seen on the Mk V.

Topside camouflage was changed from using 'Dark Earth' to 'Ocean Grey' in mid 1941. A light band around the rear fuselage and yellow stripes on the wing leading edges were introduced to aid visual 'friend or foe' identification.

If you are really sharp-eyed, you will see that the camouflage pattern on the nearer aircraft is a mirror image of that on the other two. Initially, odd and even serial numbered fighter aircraft had mirrored camouflage patterns. Quite why this was thought to be a good idea is lost in the mists of time, but apparently different factories applied the A & B schemes differently, so at the time the Ocean Grey was introduced, it was decided to use only the 'A' pattern camouflage from then on.

Late evening take off with a bit of moisture. I like the look of the metal on the rudder area.

We had all these lovely night walks while being in Strasbourg. The city has wonderful illumination and a nightly stroll along the river or the canals is definitely a nice treat.

 

Happy Monochrome Monday!

Ecstatic bird songs pound

the hollow vastness of the sky

with metallic clinkings,

beating color up into it

at a far edge, beating it, beating it

with rising, triumphant ardor,

stirring it into warmth,

quickening in it a spreading change,

bursting wildly against it as,

dividing the horizon, a heavy sun

lifts himself, is lifted,

bit by bit above the edge

of things, runs free at last

out into the open! Lumbering

glorified in full release upward,

songs cease.

 

- William Carlos Williams ('Dawn')
