Morning at Aberdyfi pier. The boats tethered, waiting for their chance to sail, while the gulls wheel around looking just as graceful as they always do.
Put me in mind of this song ... I'm pretty sure you know it ! I couldn't find a good 'live' version of this song, showing the magnificent Freddie Mercury 'doing his stuff' on stage (he was always so magnetic) so this is the official video when it was first released.
THANK YOU to my Partner in all our groups, Tony (Guy@Fawkes) for obliterating a great big mast inadvertently caught on my photo which I hadn't even realised was there until I began to process this !! See his photostream here:

Took a risk with this one and decided to super crop a photo of some bent metal against the yellow background. Something is definitely drawing me to the art of the image and not the capture in itself. Please leave your thoughts if any :)
Now be good and stay and I'll be back soon.
A Royal Mail high capacity trolley awaits the return of the postie.
As some of you may know, my life is more than a little hectic at the moment. I'm just trying to stay tethered, and not go completely crazy :)
Anyway, I miss you all, and I will drop in when I can!
Another shot from Meols Beach last weekend. Slightly more colour in the sky and a different crop compared to the previous long exposure from this spot.
Low tide on the beach a perfect opportunity to try and take some photos of the boats at sunrise(5am). We got there about an hour before sunrise and eventually we had a bit of colour.
Meols Beach, Wirral.

A very early morning start(2am) on very little sleep. i'll admit i wasnt enjoying myself at the time and couldn't wait to get back to bed. The things we do for a photograph :)
Wings over wings as the sun sets in Elora Ontario. I was taking shots of this unique art piece as the sun set when a flock of geese decided to fly down the river at just the right moment.
I have wanted to do something different for a while, then one gets lost in what can only be described as "Photographers Block", akin to "Writers Block" same thing yet different tool of creativity. I even deleted a photo I put up yesterday as I hated it, simply because experimental change is sometimes difficult, in the enigmatic paradigm of remaining as was, yet contradicted by the yearn for change, albeit lost for choice yet unable to see the forest for the trees! If you catch my convoluted drift?!
I think the criteria of assumed "change" is tethered to the idea of realising that ,change, in one's self cannot therefore be abridged to the same/similar ideas of others, it is a struggle then to remain original. I am still trying to conquer it whilst trying to not to lose my perspective to the idea of absolutes!
So this photo I took along the A100 with the Westhafen Canal running parallel, in which there are three or four barges moored along the walkway, I had been meaning to get to them since the weather has since started to slowly improve. They are basically big floating elongated buckets of either nothing or asphalt, earth and what have you. But they are interesting for the very old mechanical presence, compositional offerings and overall differing of imagery from nature and anything else that has been done to death so far. The clouds were thin and wonderfully striated offering a bokeh contradiction of composition's directional flow. It was tricky getting the angle as I wanted to get the motorway out of the focus completely.
That's all my waffle for today, I hope everyone's' week has gotten off well and so as always, thank you! :)
I see a lot of spiders webs when walking my dog through the woods early in the morning, like the spiders are connecting every plant with another.

Polperro is a fishing port on a rocky coastline near Looe, with narrow, cobbled alleys and houses perched on slopes above the harbour.
Much of the village dates to the 13th century, and for many years the prosperity of Polperro was founded on the pilchard fishery. When the pilchard fishery waned, smuggling became perhaps the major source of Polperro's riches. One well-known smuggler was Willy Wilcox, who, according to legend, was lost in the bewildering network of caves that wind through the cliffs.
Now the village relies on tourism, with visitors drawn by the tightly packed lanes and idyllic fishermen's' cottages that line the picturesque harbour. Most of the buildings near the harbour are untouched by time, giving Polperro a quaint, old world feel.
