At last something in the sun within my very limited exercise route! DB's 60100 'Midland Railway - Butterley' heads west past the temporary gap in the hedge at Burton Joyce in charge of 6M57, the 07.15 loaded tanks from Lindsey Oil Refinery to Kingsbury Oil Sidings.
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 ✨

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.

Eu não me canso de fotografar as garças e seus hábitos.
Nesta captura eu estava bem próxima, mas acho que já se acostumaram comigo!
Thanks to everyone who took time to view, comment or fave!!
How disruptive, having to move away from where we normally have our meals together. A kitchen renovation has turned our daily routine upside down. On the flipside, we've discovered that the light over here in the library is somehow warmer. This temporary bokeh is a nice trade-off too.
Iceberg in Jokulsarlon Lagoon. Moments after the shot was captured the ice boulder fell off the iceberg and broke up, so I feel very fortunate to have captured this temporary balancing arrangement.
Now that we are staying even closer to home for our hiking, we have taken on the goal of completing the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail. Much of it runs right through our city limits or just outside. We have hiked many parts of it over the years. By doing our best to go from end to end and not missing a single section, we have discovered little treasures along the way that are new to us. I love that a lot of the trail is rugged and untamed.
We have a trail book with maps that are out of date in some spots due to some land acquisitions by the Bruce Trail Conservancy. That means parts of the trail that were along a road are now in the woods or fields. But we also use the phone app which is more accurate and it also warns of temporary closures which have happened due to COVID. Tons of people have come up from the bigger cities to walk these trails and they have often overwhelmed parking lots or left too much garbage! We also had to be careful of hunting season. However, on this day all was perfect, including the weather.
When the maps or apps don't work, we have the white blazes to show us the way. It can be like a scavenger hunt at times to find the next blaze. But that is half the fun. You never know what is around the next bend! BTW, we have officially hiked half of the 120 km!
