naked bulb is able to be subdued, but only with heavy manners and constant vigilance. he resents it mightily....

Hairy woodpeckers look very similar to downy woodpeckers, but there are some subtle differences. Hairy woodpeckers are about the size of an American robin and quickly hitch their way up a tree trunk as the work. Note that the long sturdy bill on this bird is nearly as long as its head! They typically stand erect on a tree trunk too. Hairy woodpeckers are uncommon here.
Blackening Waxcaps / hygocybe conica. Smisby, Derbyshire. 25/10/20.
A small troop of five Blackening Waxcaps found in the same churchyard as the one shown in my previous image. They looked fairly fresh with little invertebrate damage and only showed subtle signs of blackening in a few places.
The fifth (and shortest) fruiting body can be seen below the one on the r/h side and it had a more orange cap.
Drake wood ducks are the undisputed kings of flashy colour, but this hen shows you don't have to be flashy to be beautiful - I think she's gorgeous!
Another long exposure image taken as the sun was setting,. Sadlly the sky was a bit cloudy so didn't manage to get it setting over the water as I was hoping for. Photography is so frustratiing at times when waiting for the right conditions to capture that perfect shot. Taken at West Bay in Dorset UK
I haven't been winked at in years, lol. 😉

I had the opportunity a weekend ago or so to visit Cape Kiwanda for the first time since the new fencing had been installed. I was pretty curious to finally see it for myself. I was pretty ambivalent about the changes to this area. After all I have been visiting this cape for something in the neighborhood of twenty years now, probably longer in fact, and if there is one thing you learn from spending so much time at Cape Kiwanda it is on the nature of change. This whole cape is composed largely of soft sedimentary rock. It gets pounded by waves and wind and people. No two visits, even days apart, reveal the same landscape. I have seen arches collapse and rock pillars pushed over. I have watched patterns in the stone chewed up by feet, only to reappear again on another visit unblemished. Sand gets washed in, sand gets washed out. This whole place is one grand example of dynamic forces and the relationship between cause and effect. So yeah, a new fence doesn't faze me much, for me it is just part of the landscape.
Of course, after I had walked its length and mulled over its place in this place, I headed up and over the main dune. The backside is an area that is yet untouched by fencing or warning signs. It is a rugged frontier in this small patch of coastline. Many venture over to its crumbling cliffs, but many more don't. So it remains a little quieter, a little more secluded. I'd say I like it over there, but the truth is I like it pretty much anywhere at Cape Kiwanda. It really is a magical location and one of the best spots on this whole amazing coast. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.
I had time to kill, about eight hours in fact, so this was just one stop on a much longer trek that saw me descend that far northern "backside" and continue up the beach toward Sand Lake. But along the way I stopped at this overlook long enough to employ the Reality So Subtle 6x12. There are so many ways to photograph this cape and few wrong answers. It is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, which is perhaps why I see a giant whale's head emerging from the surf in front of me here...
On an unrelated note, I was talking with a photographer at work who is getting to know this camera. He has been struggling to compose with it because he has been insisting on making sure the camera is level and pointing dead ahead. My advice to him was to go out with it and make some images intentionally tilted forward or back, to not just assume that the bowing distortion this camera causes when angled forward or back should be avoided as a matter of course. Not only did I not want the top half of my frame to be dominated by sky in this scene, I thought the bowed horizon would make it all a little bit more interesting. Perhaps it does, perhaps it doesn't, but the point is that I considered it as a possibility.

Kodak Ektar 100 I think, I don't have the film right in front of me to double check.

Here is a good idea of how the curves look on the Clinchfield. The Santa trian is making his way south of Danta, VA on Nov 19, 2016.

Digging into the archives as I haven't really been able to get out recently, mainly due to revision and exams!
I have a habit of witnessing sunsets like this, where the sun turns into a small red circle on the horizon.

The tiny Island of San Giulio in Lake Orta, Northern Italy.
The large building is the Benedectine monastery Mater Ecclesiae.
I liked this shot because you can actually see this guy's red belly, which is usually much more subtle.
