Glenfinnan railway viaduct in the Scottish Highlands with its scenic views and gorgeous swerve gracing this verdant Highland valley. Crossing it iniside the historic Jacobite steam train is a must have experience :)
Swerving solitary roads, intoxicating landscape beauty, holidays and a wacky motor home ... LIFE IS GOOD :)

I had only been in Calgary for four days when I found this spot, just a few hours prior to my return flight to Seattle. I had another vantage point in mind (Edgeworthy Park) but a previous trip on the CTain (Calgary's fantastic light rail system) helped me to discover this spot on a pedestrian bridge over the Bow Trail Highway. It offers such an amazing view of the metropolis that is Calgary. I believe it's called Shaganappi Park. This moment was captured about an hour before sunrise.

About 4 months ago I sold a lens to a chap and got into a conversation with him in which he told me that as a hobby he converted old point-and-shoot cameras to infra-red. I've been interested in IR for a couple of years now and the cameras he had for sale were very cheap in comparison to what it would cost to convert one of my old cameras, less than a hundred pounds. And so I bought one from him on his recommendation. I haven't shot very much with it and this is the first shot I've properly processed. The quality of the little camera leaves a little something to be desired, I see artefacts in the sky here for example, but I do like the look of the pictures it produces. The difficult thing is, as a rank beginner, knowing what will work and what won't. I think this did in that it almost has the look of B&W film with the heavy contrasts and tonality. Looking at most of my other IR shots I also have a pretty good idea of what doesn't work. Not sure how much I'll use this camera but it's an interesting diversion and it's an outlet for me when I want to shoot in the middle of the day, when the light is at it's harshest. For IR that is exactly the right conditions!

The water on Lake Cumberland always seems to provide an opportunity to find something extraordinary in an ordinary place. I shoot at this lake often and you never know what you'll find.

This is a picture I told myself I would, one day, get around to working on. I guess that day happened because here is the shot.
Up on Grizzly Peak Boulevard, which meanders across the Berkeley Hills for a spell, near the top, you can see for many miles to the west and that means many photographic possibilities, like the ever-popular tight tele-photo shots of San Francisco. But that's not the only thing you will see. There are always ample car and motorcycle groups and then there are people trying to drive the road as fast as they can, too.
In any case, they all make light trails.
Thanks for your time and support!
“We do not have to go very far,” Merton writes, “to catch echoes of that game, and of that dancing. When we are alone on a starlit night; when by chance we see the migrating birds in autumn descending on a grove of junipers to rest and eat; when we see children in a moment when they are really children; when we know love in our own hearts.” All of these, “If we could let go of our own obsession with what we think is the meaning of it all,” no longer would appear trivial but would strike us as invitations to “forget ourselves on purpose, cast our awful solemnity to the winds,” and join in “the general dance” of Sophia, at play in the garden of the Lord.

These two cars barely missed each other. And as you can tell, I'm standing in the middle of the road. Not a very smart thing to be doing in this type of weather condition. I guess, we're all a bit of a rebel when it comes to capturing the moment.

The fabulously swerving road into and along Iceland's Westfjords lined for kilometres on end with fences between pastures for mainly Icelandic horses.
Happy Fence Friday!
Glenfinnan railway viaduct seen very close up following the swerve of its high arches as they span the wide valley.
Its been a a while as I have been working loads during the summer but should be a little more frequent here over the autumn and winter.

Well into Blue Hour, MRL's Bozeman Turn swings through a broad S-curve east of Springdale on the 2nd Sub.
While MRL 355 would live to see continued service through 2022, I can't say the same for the jeans I was wearing after I hurdled a barbed-wire fence to get this shot.

Enjoy a funky, semi-romantic timelapse of a very cool curvature of Interstate 5 north of downtown Seattle. The original objective was to capture the traffic along the highway as day transitioned to night on Saturday, May 15, 2021. However, a very serendipitous and unexpected bonus was a recording of the flight patterns and alignment of airplanes descending to land!
You're viewing approximately two hours of activity (and 1,300 exposures) within 50 seconds.

SWERVE, the August 2024 exhibition by Scylla Rhiadra @ Nitroglobus Main hall
- Swerve = to turn aside, deviate in movement from the straight or direct course -
Scylla is a well-known and respected artist, and I am glad she said yes when I invited her to exhibit at Nitroglobus. I asked her to make something ‘different’ and she sure did. The images of this exhibition show a more daring and close to the skin side of Scylla. I love it!
Take your time to read her extensive explanation, a must to understand the meaning of the art shown. OR if you have no patience just walk/cam around and enjoy.
Dido Haas, owner/curator Nitroglobus
My sincere thanks to David Silence for creating the classy poster based on an image of Scylla.

Explanation/Description by the artist:
We swim through a torrential downpour of plummeting atoms that crowd the void of space. They fall, sometimes swerving from their course and colliding with others, cohering into new clumps of matter or ricocheting off each other in unpredictable ways. In this world there are no gods, only matter and motion. It is a universe of endless change, of birth, decay, death, and rebirth in new forms. Nothing is eternal or immortal except the atoms themselves.
This is our world, for we too are clumps of atoms, and their nature is our nature. What we call "free will" is merely a function of atomic swerve; as atoms collide, connect, or repel, so also do we, driven by the irresistible laws of matter. Pleasure is an illusion and desire a trap. From incoherent matter are we sprung, and we are mere transients, shifting, changing, decaying, until we return to it with death.
We are the stuff of stars.
And we are dust and dung.
Scylla

This exhibition is inspired by "W," a lengthy philosophical and proto-scientific poem composed in the 1st century BCE by the Epicurean Roman poet Titus Lucretius Carus. Atheistic, mechanistic, and materialist, written "in his lucid moments" by a man who supposedly had been driven mad by a love potion administered by a besotted lover, "De Rerum Natura" has always been seen as a deeply dangerous poem, associated with madness, suicide, and obscenity.
De Rerum Natura tells us of a clockwork universe in which the only real meaning adheres to the atoms that are everywhere falling in seemingly chaotic, swerving patterns of creation and destruction.
It tells us of ourselves
A swerving shelf cloud this afternoon northwest of Flagstaff on Fort Valley Road. There was a passable amount of shear to help organize storms, but not enough instability to really get things going. Skies were still dynamic and beautiful over the cinder cones and wild flowers.
SATURDAY, 28 September is the LAST DAY of the excellent exhibition SWERVE by Scylla Rhiadra @ Nitroglobus.
So RUNNN if
* you didn't visit yet, or
* you wish to revisit and have a last look at this truly remarkable exhibition

Blue hour long exposure over US 101 looking at downtown San Francisco. Shot through chain link fence.
The first ten minutes of sunlight on the dunes are pure red magic. By twenty minutes after sunrise, the magic glow has gone. It pays to get up early when visiting here!
