Green Green Grass of Home
Song by Tom Jones
The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Dow the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Listen
... The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane, I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
... Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad, old padre
On and on, we'll walk at daybreak
Again, I'll touch the green, green grass of home
As they lay me
'Neath the green, green grass of home...

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.

According to Wikipedia, the name sanderling derives from Old English sand-yrðling, which translates to "sand-ploughman". This individual is special as it has what looks to be a short strand of blue nylon rope/string stuck in the fine feathers just in front of the eye. Yet another sign of just how much plastic is floating around in the oceans, with a sizeable amount being microscopic bits that get ingested by countless organisms.

Bonne soirée , nuit ♥♥
Thanks to all my friends ♥♥
I tried to wait out the approach of this Great Blue Heron and had a closer view from between the reeds at the shoreline.
On a recent visit to Dundee to check out the V&A (pics to follow!), I walked a bit further along from the V&A on the riverside, and found myself underneath the Tay Road Bridge, right where it comes onto land on the Dundee side of the mighty Firth of Tay, from Newport-in-Tay on the southern (Fife) side of the river.
Opened in 1966, it is an impressive 2, 250 metres long (1,4 miles), connecting Dundee to Fife (which in turn has two huge road bridges and the Rail Bridge crossing the Forth to Edinburgh - our rugged coastline needs lots of bridges!).
I've found shooting directly under structures like a bridge can give amazing perspective shots (I'm sure many of you have played with such shots too). I took several shots, but it was only when I zoomed in more on the large piers, retreating back towards the other shore, that I was happy with the shot, it was just begging to be taken in mono.
You'll have to imagine the sound - it was a windy day, so it was howling around the structure, the tide was high and I could hear the water of this mighty river splashing, and of course the constant bass rumble of vehicles zooming up above me on the road deck.

Travel light let the sun eclipse you,
'Cause your flight is about to leave,
And there's more to this brave adventure,
Than you'd ever believe
January - March, 2014.
These were taken in February.
The first Chiberia.
(Now it’s called that whenever it gets into the 20s for two or three days.)
Lake Michigan was 93.3% frozen. (Peaked on March 8.)
This is my beach. I am standing on the sand or where the sand should be.
It looked like another planet.

Traveling from Sydney to the small town of Moree in NSW Australia. The view from the train is different to anything I have ever seen, I only had an iPhone 3gs to take photos.
To go out of your mind once a day is tremendously important, because by going out of your mind you come to your senses.

June Gloom days alternating with cloudless boring clear skies have kept me from shooting for weeks. I am looking forward to better days ahead. If it doesn't happen soon I am going to be dusting cobwebs off of my gear.
I'm trying to work out a way to use Fomapan 400 as a Kallitype negative, but it's proving difficult to get it to work as I want with Pyro developers. With Pyrocat HD it produces lots of density but higher values are all mashed together into a flat mess. I think I will give up and stick with FP4 for making Kallitype negs.
This is the second of two identically exposed sheets of Fomapan 400, this one developed in home made Mytol, an Xtol ascorbate clone.

If you were looking for blue skies and big clouds on this late September day in Ocean City, then you were in the right place at the right time. Perfect weather for our annual outing to this New Jersey beach town!
Well OK not quite to nowhere but only to the Cape Palliser Lighthouse, the road stops shortly after.
Latitude 41° 36.8’ south Longitude 175° 17.4 East
The light shone for the first time on 27th October 1897. The lighthouse is notable for the 261 steps it takes to reach it. When these steps were first built they were greeted enthusiastically as they replaced a slippery narrow path up the rock face that was especially dangerous at night.
The cast iron tower stands 18 metres high and 78 metres above sea level. The light flashes twice every 20 seconds and can be seen for 26 nautical miles (48 kilometres).
The 1000-watt lamp operates on mains electricity with a diesel generator for standby power. The light originally burnt oil as a light source and was converted to diesel generated electricity in 1954, and then to mains electricity in 1967.
The light was fully automated in 1986 and the lighthouse keeper was withdrawn.
The operation of the light is now completely automatic and is monitored by a computer and Maritime NZ staff in Wellington.
Just got back from a first time experience seeing lava. This picture is a quick edit of the over 400 shots that I took
