Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Timing was key, a full stride was the only way to capture this young woman and her unique style. Enjoy!
A fairly intimidating sight as the ragged jawline of Striding Edge revealed its teeth. In the murky atmosphere of the day with clouds draped over the edge it certainly got the pulse racing!

Striding Lion, a wall relief made from polychrome glazed, fired bricks, is one of the most iconic objects on display at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. It came from Babylon, Iraq, and dates to the time of Nebuchadnezzar II (605-562 BCE), king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Striding Lion is one of many such reliefs that decorated the walls of the palace's ceremonial hall and very similar to the lions that line the processional way from the Ishtar Gate to the temple of Marduk.
Water Striders ( Family Gerridae), on Reay Creek, BC. Tiny hairs on their legs trap air and repel water, allowing them to walk on water.

These tiny, long-legged bugs can transfer their body weight to accommodate their ability to walk on water.
“One doesn’t stop seeing. One doesn’t stop framing. It doesn’t turn off and on. It’s on all the time.” – Annie Leibovitz
Water strider making ripples as it moves in a slow running stream. Liked how part of the water was still enough to catch its reflection as well.
I was out trying to chase some mammatus clouds and found myself hunting a lighthouse. The lighthouse wasn't working the way I'd hoped so I left the location. As I was walking back I heard calls coming from a woman nearby. "Come on, let's go" I heard her call. I noticed the bright red jacket bustling over the rocks towards the yelling mother. He seemed to be studying the papers in his hand and didn't realize how far he'd gone out. I quickly snapped a shot of him center stage. The storm was over, a happy mother.

"The Solar Strider wanders the barren wastes of the west, a relic of an advanced age. Needing no sustenance save for the light of the sun, it appears to never deviate from its mission. The strider's purpose seems to have been lost to the winds however, eroded from history like the winds reduce the mightiest of boulders to mere grains of sand..."

So it's been over a year since I posted anything on Flickr, but that's not to say I haven't been active, and watching from the shadows...
For 2020, I hope to put out more builds than I did last year (which is to say, more than none), but only time will tell if that will ever happen.
In the meantime, here's a build that uses Dark Flesh / Metru Brown as its primary colour, which is not one you see all that often.
Happy New Year, and see you soon!
I am always amazed at the long stride, grace, and power a moose uses to walk through the snow. Perfectly adapted to it's environment, this moose was strolling among the willows, stripping bark and paying little attention to us as we watched this beautiful and interesting animal in Yellowstone National Park.
This path heads up toward West Kennet Long Barrow, the construction of which began just over five thousand six hundred years ago. I find that a little difficult to comprehend, to be honest!
