Whenever I am sad or happy this song never fails me... <3
“My prayers, my tears, my wishes, fears, and lamentations, were witnessed by myself and heaven alone. When we are harassed by sorrows or anxieties, or long oppressed by any powerful feelings which we must keep to ourselves, for which we can obtain and seek no sympathy from any living creature, and which yet we cannot, or will not wholly crush, we often naturally seek relief in poetry—and often find it, too—whether in the effusions of others, which seem to harmonize with our existing case, or in our own attempts to give utterance to those thoughts and feelings in strains less musical, perchance, but more appropriate, and therefore more penetrating and sympathetic, and, for the time, more soothing, or more powerful to rouse and to unburden the oppressed and swollen heart.”
― Anne Brontë, Agnes Grey

(Straight Out Of Camera)
I'm taking this opportunity to tell you that this is how I see everything around me right now. I have a vision problem, I have cataracts in both eyes and I will have the first cataract surgery on my left eye in November and the surgery on my right eye in January. I am forbidden to strain my eyes in particular work on the computer and phone, as well as use the camera.
I'm not a very obedient patient, so at least one hour a day I have to take a picture or process a photo. Processing photos and writing is very tiring for me because I have to bring the monitor closer to my eyes at a distance of 15-20 cm. It was very hard for me to miss some topics that I love. I want to apologize for not writing comments under your wonderful photos and I hope you will understand me. If you are wondering how some of my pictures have such a clean focus, I will tell you that the secret is in the autofocus and the red dot that flashes in my viewfinder. When the red dot starts flashing, I shoot, and then comes the much more difficult part for me, processing the photos.
HSoS!
This view did some very wonky things to my eyes so I figured it would make for an interesting shot. At first glance, the eyes are challenged as they strain to figure out what is being viewed. But, upon further inspection one can tell it is a snow lined shore with colored trees reflecting in the river. The combination of cold and warm colors also contributed to an interesting look.

No idea can succeed except at the expense of sacrifice; no one ever escapes without enduring strain from the struggle of life.
Ernest Renan.
Joseph Ernest Renan (28 February 1823 – 2 October 1892) was a French expert of Semitic languages and civilizations (philology), philosopher, historian, and writer, devoted to his native province of Brittany. He is best known for his influential historical works on Early Christianity, and his political theories, especially concerning nationalism and national identity. Renan is credited as being among the first scholars to advance the Khazar theory, which held that Ashkenazi Jews were descendants of the Khazars, Turkic peoples who had adopted Jewish religion and migrated to Western Europe following the collapse of their khanate.

Pumped up with testosterone, the Red Deer stag has only one thing on its mind. Forgoing food, it fights off contenders, locking with them in a clash of antlers.
In such a stage of mind its a powerful and unpredictable beast. To photograph it I had to get fairly close, but didn't hang about too long. Seeing it attention was drawn to me, I withdraw to a safer place.
When the autumn rut is over, exhausted and battle weary, they reverts back to their calmer ways, to await another season. And so it is, the next generation is secured. Such is the cycle of life and the need to propagate the species. Long may it continue.
Many thanks for your comments. Have a great week.

A bit busy today, so it's my Macro Mondays theme photo for my one a day.
The card was given to us for Christmas by a friend. She saves all her old cards and is given others by friends and each year she makes her own for friends from parts of her card collection. Every one unique.

Lake Vyrnwy is a reservoir in Powys, Wales, built in the 1880s for Liverpool Corporation Waterworks to supply Liverpool with fresh water. It flooded the head of the Vyrnwy valley and submerged the village of Llanwddyn.
The Straining Tower at Vyrnwy reservoir, Powys, Wales, UK
The Straining Tower at Vyrnwy reservoir is an intake tower built to extract water from the lake. The tower stands on the north shore of Lake Vyrnwy, near the village of Llanwddyn, in Powys, Wales. The Lake Vyrnwy dam project was designed to provide a water supply to the city of Liverpool and work on the dam began in 1881. On its completion 11 years later, the lake was the largest reservoir in Europe and water was drawn from it into the straining tower and carried to Liverpool on a 110km-long aqueduct.

"Take the strain" is an idiom that generally means to bear the burden or responsibility for something, often a difficult or stressful situation. It implies relieving someone else of pressure or worry by taking on the challenge yourself.
What's the difference between a rope and a cable?
The term cable is often used interchangeably with wire rope. However, in general, wire rope refers to diameters larger than 3/8 inch.
Sizes smaller than this are designated as cable or cords. Two or more wires concentrically laid around a centre wire is called a strand.

This is one of the groynes on Blyth Beach and something has obviously gone awry. I spotted it as I was trying to get a shot of the beach huts and thought that it might make for a good mono long exposure. However, when I got there the low sun was bouncing off the face of it so I thought a colour LE would work better.
I do want to go back when the tide is a little higher so I can get the end of the groyne disappearing into the North Sea.

Ponder
To think carefully about something, especially for a noticeable length of time
Ponderings is a series of semi-abstract photos of water features with vegetation, in which the light seems to play a game with our perception. The works not only contain reflections, but perhaps also invite us to reflect. From this principle, the name Ponderings originated.
