Taken right when the protests were starting off. The capital has taken a beating since and looks pretty trashed currently.

Limnoporus notabilis is a fairly common water strider in the Western United States and into Canada. We can see how it spreads its skinny legs out to support itself atop the pond surface.
Photographers notes: a circular polarizer was used to reduce the reflection from the water. We can see into the pond this way... somewhat ;-)
Surely the most interesting way to ascend Helvellyn is via the Lakelands best known edge. Under a threatening sky long term pal and hiking buddy Clyde is seen on one of the smaller pinnacles of the ridge.
Great weekend, including repeating a route I first did in horrendous conditions as a student. Much better this time. Cold and windy, but just the right amount of storm.
Possibly a Common Water Strider (Gerris remigis) near the Blue Hole spring at Ichetucknee Springs State Park.

I've uploaded this before (more than once) but here I've tried an alternative crop and reproduced it at a larger size. This gives a bit more "presence" I think but also shows the noise to bad effect. Anyway it's a record of a day out rather than an example of the landscape photographer's art.
Lightweight bipedal weapons platforms. These are heavily influenced by the Gekkos from MGS, although I have changed several aspects, particularly the visual sensors (the black cluster on their noses)
"Helvellyn is a mountain marking the border of Westmorland and Cumberland, in the Lake District, the apex of the Eastern Fells. [] the highest point in the Lake District after Scafell Pike and Scafell, and the highest mountain in England after those latter fells. [] The name is also archaically written Helvillon, and is probably derived from the Cumbric language for 'yellow moor'; hal velyn. []
"Striding Edge is a notorious accident spot among hikers and scramblers. In winter conditions the climb from Striding Edge up to the summit plateau can involve crossing steep icy ground and a snow cornice, and can be the most dangerous part of the walk. Without an ice axe or crampons this presents a serious obstacle. In January 2008 two walkers died after falling from the ridge in separate incidents. Another walker died after falling from Striding Edge in May 2008. []."
The have been a few more deaths after 2008. The account above is now dated.
Most of the time, when someone walks into your shot, it's slightly annoying. In this circumstance, I think the pedestrian added to the image, and I didn't even see him coming.
On the street in Toronto.
86 243 'The Boys' Brigade' is crossing the River Cole on the neat 4 arch viaduct at Stechford in Birmingham. The train was the 14.40 Euston to Wolverhampton service. 86243 was built at the Vulcan Foundry as E3181, it entered traffic 12/10/1965. The loco was withdrawn 30/06/2004 and cut at Booth-Row metals 31/10/2004.

Just one of hundreds of faces I happened to capture during a brief walk in hot City streets at the end of a hot workday. Will show others later - perhaps as a series...
A Wintery scene near the summit of Helvellyn looking towards Striding Edge, Ullswater and eventually the Pennines.
I was lucky enough to have this printed half page in last week's Telegraph. A cracking day out with the ice axes and crampons, although a struggle carrying all my camera kit too. It has to be done though.

Striding Edge in Winter is a very different animal in Winter compared to the 'tourist' motorway it is in Summer. In this image a Winter equipped hiker contemplates crossing the ridge into the thick cloud cover that rests over Helvellyn.
