Following the genuine and sincere concern expressed by one of my Flickr friends recently that we have no electricity or running water in Cornwall I felt I should allay his fear. Although we might not have these amenities and niceties, we make up for this with our ingenuity and tenacity. I am now at liberty to share some of this information with you as enough time has passed for it to be lifted from the constraints of the official secrets act.
Many years ago about 9 of us were gathered in The Golden Lion (Code Name “The Office”)
when suddenly Tristram Trevithick burst through the door saying he had just taken a call at the phone box in the village and that it had been Red Adair saying that a Sheikh had an oil well on fire, but Red himself was busy wallpapering the hallway ceiling and wondered if we boys could take the job on for him, and he would pay us a million pounds.
Tristram said we would carry the job out but would need transport from Cardinham Airfield to the location of the fire in the desert.
So I borrowed brother’s long wheel base Land Rover loaded up a few tools and off we all went via Trago Mills to collect some hob nail boots.
The C130 plane collected us and we embarked on our mission into the unknown, several hours later we were over the burning well and ready to go, the Pilot came back and said boys, I am not going to be able to land near the site, so what about if I lower the rear cargo door of the aircraft, fly as low as possible and you chaps roar out.
So this is exactly what we did, we lined the old Land Rover up and straight across the desert right into the middle of the burning oil well.
With no time to waste the boys were out jumping up and down in the fire and after about an hour we had stamped the flames out. Everyone looked a bit dazed and smoke damaged but mission accomplished.
Not long and the Sheikh who owned the well turned up sincerely congratulating us on an amazing job saying he had never seen anything like this before.
Now boys there is your million pounds what are you going to do with the money, Tristram steps forward and said, “get the brakes fixed on the Land Rover”.
Thank you for looking, your faves and comments are always much appreciated.
The places that trees can (and do) grow in the Southwest amazes me. This one was found perched between rocks in Arches National Park.

Zaino carico e pesante (quasi sempre) e, quando trasporti la Fotocamera con obiettivo, la Sera avverti un dolore al collo...

In Natura non esistono malintesi esistono solo in ciò che l'uomo chiama ragione!
ProteggiAMO tutto questo!
PreoccupiAMOci della Natura il nostro futuro dipende da essa!
Osservare tutto questo è un dono, innAMÒRarsene una ricchezza!

This tenacious tree is surviving in the harsh environs of the canyons of Kasha Katuwe in New Mexico.
Tenacity! + 10 Million!
This tiny bird is not much bigger then a bumble bee!
Maybe 2.5 inches from beak to tail. We photographers zone in to photograph this bird, virtually because it is so cute! Tenacity pays off in life, as we watch this so small bird fighting for position around the flowers for a drink of nectar.
We can call it the will to survive, as in nature these birds endure many challenges. Every other hummingbird is at least 2 times its size or more, but this bird never gives up. It will sit quietly and wait for the right time to come in for some food.
Natural light only, never using a flash makes this nature photography so much simpler., real light, real scene, nothing fake. Some day I hope to go here alone, and shoot video!
Thanks for re-sharing my images, and spreading the beauty of nature.
Please do not feed wild carnivorous animals or bird., stay back and treat them with respect.
ps. just turned over 10 million views on my G+ account! 3.5 M in the last 3+ weeks! thanks to everyone who participates there.
Have a great weekend Canadians!!

I'm always fascinated by how tiny plants can grow in the most hostile of environments, like on a large rock right by the water's edge.
Taken at Bronte Beach Park in Oakville, Ontario Canada on the shores of Lake Ontario.
This past summer, I had a small garden on our balcony, and in its heyday, it was a colorful reminder that a city doesn't need to be concrete and metal.
Now, well past fall, most of the garden has followed the natural order of things. That is, except this one flowering bush. Well, truth be told, the plant itself is struggling.. but this tiny little flower has been holding on for weeks. Unfortunately, we had a frost last night, followed by brilliant sunlight. I think we may be nearing the end for this tenacious little thing.
But, it's a spectacular way to go, don't you think?

Teasing tentacles prying rock fisures apart. An age old poison ivy rootbase at an even older stone wall in the city of Kyllburg in the German Eifel.
One wonders where the living cambium ends and the rock itself begins.

I took this photo at the Toronto Zoo. It was an overcast day and the sky was gray. Because of this I changed the sky with a blue sky photo of mine, to bring some life to the image.
taken by a family friend, photographer, Milan. He introduced me to photography by showing me his makeshift communist photography workshop in his bathroom, conquered, undoubtedly,, by the everlasting curiosity and all-convincing tenacity of the wood rat that i am. Also, notice the gangsta rapper blossom that was to take over my persona in my high-school years. :D
