From my Red Water series...I found this holly leaf perched on a small rock in the stream. It reminded me of a coracle that had been pulled ashore. A tricky one to compose, shoot and process; this is focus stack of 2.5, 5 and 15s exposures.
the snow-wave reformed in this morning’s snow and wind — but now conditions are turning to rain and it will soon be wilting again

The body is a temporary vehicle. Without the soul, the body is like a car without a driver.

Tufts of mountain grass catch the last rays of light on the snow-clad slopes of Beinn-y-Phott as the chain of summits extending from Snaefell all the way to North Barrule are beautifully illuminated in the distance. This was taken a few weeks ago in what was probably the last patch of winter weather we can expect for the Isle of Man for this season.
On a completely different note, I woke up to the sad news of the passing of the astrophotographer Alyn Wallace this morning. I’m genuinely shocked and saddened by this, particularly as he was so young. I didn’t personally know Alyn, but I’ve followed his photography adventures and journey keenly for the last 6 years or so. He was an inspiring, engaging and extremely talented photographer who without a doubt had a profound impact on many thousands of photographers across the globe. Half the battle with photography is finding that motivation to drag yourself out the front door to face what are usually uncomfortable environmental conditions head on. Watching his adventures never failed to fill me to the brim with photographic enthusiasm to do this. A reminder if we ever needed it that life is a fragile and fleeting thing. RIP Alyn ✨

Last August the vital Rheintalbahn between Karlsruhe and Basel was closed for two weeks in order to connect a long delayed segment of a new bypass around the city of Rastatt. In 2017 during the construction of said bypass, a tunnel under the existing mainline caved in closing the line for several weeks as railway undertakings scrambled to reroute their trains on poorly suited bypass routes, often with diesel power. For this planned closure, many lessons from the 2017 incident were taken into account and alternative routes were set up for freight. The most interesting diversion was via the French left Rhine railway via the border station in Lauterbourg. The line, while double track on the French side, is only used for relatively sparse commuter services and sees only a small amount of local freight. During the Rastatt closure, months of planning and preparation allowed for approximately approximately 10 trains a day to use the corridor. The trains were organized by a group of Swiss rail undertakings, with locomotives largely from SNCF Fret. Each train operated with both a German and French speaking driver, allowing for operation without crew changes at the borders.
For photographers the most interesting location was by far the station at Lauterbourg which is still controlled by mechanical semaphore signals. After a quick stop, BB 75000 475124 departs Lauterbourg with a SBB 482 in tow.

On a recent visit to Mt Damper falls we discovered that the recent rains had created a new waterfall nearby. Normally this creek is dry.

This morning I woke up to news of Possible river flooding due to rain and melting snow. I went to nearby Sheboygan Falls to check out the situation . The river was not as dramatic as had been predicted, but it was still interesting. As it was a gray day with drizzle, I decide to shoot in b&w mode.
The ducks are resting on a small island in the middle of the river. The island is surrounded by rushing water and floating ice.
