The start of Stockton Beach. Resorted to google to explain it, being lazy 😉
The Stockton Bight Sand Dunes, in the Worimi Conservation Lands, cover 4,200 hectares, with 32kms of the longest moving sand dunes in the southern hemisphere. These truly awe-inspiring dunes reach heights of over 30 metres forming a majestic, alien-like moonscape - perfect for adventurous spirits, those looking for a cultural experience, nature lovers and even film makers around the globe.
Did some quad bike riding on these majestic and amazing dunes earlier this year, so much fun. And we didn’t get devoured by Sandworms either, stroke of luck 👍😀
Looking out towards the Stockton beach sand dunes over some ominous deep dark water. Located to the north of the Hunter River the beach has an interesting history and has been the site of numerous shipwrecks and aircraft crash sites. In some areas it is as much as 1 km (0.6 mi) wide and has sand dunes over 30 metres (98 ft) high with slopes up to 60 degrees. Each year the dunes move north by approximately 4 m (13 ft) and are considered the largest continuous mobile sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere. Shot taken from a sailboat.

Stockton Infinity Bridge.
The Infinity Bridge is a public pedestrian and cycle footbridge across the River Tees in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees in the north-east of England.
Previously "explored" 20/5/20 but deleted & re-uploaded as it had "relegated" a better photo which had not been explored from my most popular images.

After a full day of teaching Photoshop I managed to sneak in a trip to Stockton sand dunes before heading back to Sydney. What an amazing place, I just couldn't get over how spectacular it was (even though I have been before). This place is reason enough for me to buy a 4WD.
Thanks to Kiall Frost and Trevor Tutt for taking me out there and of course the Newcastle Sundance team for letting me come up there.
One of the notable things about Stockton Bury is that everything that's in flower seems to be at its peak of perfection, hardly a dead flower in sight and, astonishingly, barely a single weed anywhere. This tree Peony, probably a good eight inches across, was no exception.
Raymond Treasure and Gordon Fenn, who created the gardens, clearly have an artistic eye for a focal point that draws your eye towards it. This may be a very ancient stone window or a modern version for just this purpose, but with the wysteria climbing up it and the view beyond, it works perfectly. (On closer inspection, I'm sure it's the genuine article...)
I took this shot with my rangefinder while crossing Stockton Street. I always wanted to take some photos of that tunnel that, sort of, seperates Chinatown from the high end retail district surrounding Union Square. They are almost like two different worlds. The SF Leica Store is not too far from where I stood here.

Former mid-1960s Phillips 66 pier style, batwing service station. Now Los Gomez Restaurant.
“In 1960, Phillips 66 introduced what arguably became its most popular and iconic service station design, which featured a large, upward-slanting, triangular-shaped canopy. Clarence Reinhardt, an architect who worked at Phillips and designed most of the company’s buildings, developed this distinctive design, inspired by designs he observed in Southern California.”

This is the view from outside the window, where the planting is enhanced by this collection of iris sculptures made in lead.
The last two from Stockton Bury, which was full of interest and colour when we visited in May. The 18th-century barn has been skilfully converted into a café - rather less draughty now that each of the triangular vents has been glazed.
Almost completely covered with blooms was this Viburnum Plicatum, a new one on me, and very striking.
This is the tithe barn which is also the very good café. Historic England refers to a ‘Field Barn’ and is an example of one that is still intact from the 18th century, so it’s Grade II listed. The triangular windows or vents are original, though the glazing is, of course, modern.
I've never driven around the Oquirrh Mountains from the Salt Lake Valley before, but Highway 73 helped me do just that. I wanted to get over to Stansbury Island for sunset and I decided to take the scenic route. I'm glad I did. Clouds dropped their shadows on these hills as they glided to the west.
This is Ed Elliott's bronze Guardian Angel from the front, crouching with his huge wings outstretched.
Stockton put on a fantastic firework display again this year.
