Loch Sionasgaig with Cul Beag and Stack Polly, Inverpolly Nature Reserve, NW Scotland.
Loch Sionascraig is a ragged freshwater loch in the Coigach area of Cromartyshire, close to the west coast. It is fed by numerous streams and drained by the River Polly, which enters the sea at Polly Bay (part of Enard Bay) just over a mile from the foot of the loch.
So irregular is the shape of the loch that it has a shore-line of 17 miles. It contains several wooded islands.
The border with Sutherland is just north of the loch, and the surrounding hills of Coigach and Assynt provide fine views over the loch and its many islands and out over the sea. Suilven looks over the loch from the Sutherland side and Stac Pollaidh from Cromartyshire.
Fishing in the loch is renowned, though carrying a boat to its remote shores over mountain and crag is no small challenge. It is reputed to be the best trout loch in the Highlands.

This map in situ was of use. Outside of Lerwick it maybe of less use especially so as the detail of some of the pertinent text is not legible in these photographs. Even if the text were legible and the map and adverts were up-to-date I can only think that this virtual version will not viewed by those that could make use it in Lerwick. These photographs are not set out upon their voyage onto the tides of the internet with any notion of them being of use as a Street Map and Guide even though that was the only reason for the original to be created.

Chronicles of a flickering Friday.
"My dear Watson", he began as was his wont. "They have created a machine to replace all our tools of deduction. Neither a map, nor a magnifying glass to carry. Retaining knowledge of events past and present? Will not be required. Need to summon Lestrade? Just say the word, aloud."
"Excellent!" I cried, wondering if he was back on exotic concoctions of herbs and chemicals.
"Elementary," said he. And went on to babble about Charles Babbage, then a chap called Alan Turing, and someone named Steve.
"An apple in the palm of your hand, Watson. It will show you moving pictures with our adventures where a dapper gent called Benedict pretends to be me. Turns out he also pretends to be Alan Turing. Incidentally, your namesake has a lot to do with business machines, but is nowhere near as capable as yourself. Or an Apple."

My (1980, Bartholemew (after Ordnance Survey)) London map - with notes showing my favourite places to walk (from Waterloo) on a Sunday. What's great is that - apart from Trafalgar Square and a bit by St Paul's - it's traffic-free. (Exclamation marks indicate that it doesn't actually appear on this (old) map.) (After clicking on map, click on "ALL SIZES" (above it) to see it large - or at original size (then scroll and pan).

I went out yesterday looking for some misty shots but there wasn't a great deal about even though it was predicted!!
I headed towards the Dalby Forest in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and was pleased to see there was some mist there.
However, as the sun rose and hid behind some clouds, the scene lit up giving a forest an ethereal feel.
This isn't a 'true' pano. It was a single image and although the sky was exposed with clouds in the detail, I feel that turning it into a pano concentrated the eye on the scene.
This shot was taken on the edge of the forest. The arrow on the map shows roughly where the shot was taken from...

We did a short circular walk heading North out of the village, going across fields near the River Devon, crossing Stenwith Bridge, and then returning alongside the Grantham Canal. About 4 miles (6.4km) in all. We had booked lunch at The Chequers Inn ... lovely food and very welcoming and attentive staff.

You will be able to see the O.S. walking route, if you go on to streetmap.co.uk, search for the village (which is near Grantham), and look at the 1:25000 map.

In the previous image of Porthgwarra, if you were to walk down through the tunnel, this is the view awaiting, if like me, you arrive at high tide.
I personally discovered this lovely little cove while out on an evening walk from St Leven, near Porthcurno. From the car park next to St Leven Church, there are public paths across the fields, heading more or less northwest, joining the narrow lane than slips down into Porthgwarra and returning back to St Leven via the clifftop footpath and Porth Chapel, rather that taking the inland shortcut.
You can, of course drive down to the cove itself, but be warned, the road is extremely narrow with few passing places. You are often required to carry out some tricky reversing at times.
The end of terrace house you can see is the holiday home we stayed in for the week, but the accommodation was actually smaller than I'd been expecting. Our part of the house was the back half - those side windows belong to the house backing onto us! (See note on pic, if you're able). I had had a previous look on Google Streetmaps and thought the whole place was ours!! However, it was big enough for the three of us plus Lina and we were able to park our car under the house, which was convenient. The seafront is at the top end of the road.

anyone ever feel a bit lost ? i've enjoyed posting the last few black and white images, it's been something of a lesson in digital processing, not that I am particularly wiser from the experience in any way...but I do think these are quite interesting, all of which has left me with more questions than answers.
how does one decide upon a style or develop a style ? over the course of a month what I'm posting has varied massively, the people that were viewing the masive bokeh pictures, don't come by for the black and whites, and vice versa... clearly this is not something I should take notice of particularly, but I do have to wonder - which is the better shot, which ones are working... I'm not sure I have much of a clue as to what's good or not...
how much processing is sensible, called for, or accepted.. I see a wide variety of styles and creativity with digital processing on flickr... I have much to learn, but I'm beginning to appreciate that what I thought was an average shot, can turn out to be inspiring once processed correctly..
too many questions.. i feel a bit lost creatively.. anyone got a map ?
This interesting room of street maps was in a museum.
I think it could be in the Museum of London.

An oldie from the map collection. 3 of the 5 streets I've lived on aren't on this. This is also before the GM Fisher Body building boom that occurred in the late 1950s.
I was in a new area today and decided to tour around to look for a place with water (as today's Jules Photo Challenge prompt was the 'Frog Prince'). Consulting the streetmaps on my phone I stumbled upon a park with a trail in the area and with a name like 'Bluff Creek' I was sure there was suitable water for my shot in mind.
As I started round the trail and came to an intersection I noticed a woman walking perfectly well with a book in one hand and her eyes glued to it. An astonishing feat I thought, and felt I needed to capture a picture of her doing so. I am used to seeing folks glued to their phone while walking but this was a different scene. She was familiar with the trail and gave me a run down of which path at the crossroads was which. With my mind on getting a shot for my photo challenge, I thanked her and went on my way.
As I was further down the road I started thinking of another possible shot for my 'Frog Prince' theme of someone giving the frog a kiss, and figured I had lost my opportunity. I finally found a stream and took the shots I wanted and then decided to head back to the car. As I headed back I spotted the same woman walking and reading her book as I had seen her before.
This time I felt the need to introduce myself to the person who had helped me with directions earlier, and to use this as an opportunity to try my luck with the Human Family Group and my photo idea for my other challenge. Meet Rachel.
Upon talking about photography she mentioned wanting to get into it herself, but she did not have a camera other than her iPhone at the moment. One of the things she liked most is watching the sunsets and thought those are fun to see and capture. The winter time shift has caught her offguard though and caused her to miss many. By the time she is off work sometimes it is too late to see them.
Breaking from some of my other Human Family interviews I decided to employ some of the prompts that Jeff and Ann had used, so here goes:
How long have you been in Oklahoma?
10 years. Before that I was in Minnesota.
What brought you to this trail today?
My two loves. Nature and reading. Walking while reading is the perfect blend of both.
How did you come to decide on Oklahoma from Minnesota? That is quite a change!
It is! Following the divorce of my parents I moved from Minnesota down to Oklahoma. My dad had gotten a job here, and having family nearby was a good thing.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Be Confident. Know what things you like and what things make you 'you', and take time for them. Stop trying to please everyone else with being what they want you to be and rather, know yourself and be confident to be yourself.
What message would you like to share with the world?
Never lose that childlike whimsy. All too often adults forget how to have fun.
Thank you so much, Rachel, for helping me get back on track with The Human Family Group (and helping with my daily photo
prompt too!). I hope photography finds its way into your life.
This is my 46th submission to the Human Family Group. To view more street portraits and stories visit The Human Family
The bridge that the Otley line left/fed the line to Ilkley/ Skipton. The side nearest the camera is now overgrown and derelict on top.
The far side still carries the main line to/from Ilkley, and is maintained.

My mum took these four photos of the Barbican and the Golden Lane estate in 1965.
I'm guessing this was also taken from high up in Great Arthur Tower, on the Golden Lane Estate, (about here) this time looking south east. It looks across what is now mostly filled by the Barbican, particularly the arts centre.
Pixie has derailed on, what was then, the steep slope down from Bryans Loop. From the pictures it would appear that before rerailing commenced the carriages were removed from the train. Whether they were just pulled back to the loop or right back to Stonehenge I can't recall.
According to the LBNGR Archivist, who has checked the Guards' Journals, the most likely date for this incident is 18th July 1976.
Piixe is a Wren class 0-4-0ST, built by Kerr Stuart & Co. in Stoke-on-Trent in 1922 and is their works number 4260
