Well the weekend has landed and I'm looking forward to spending it with friends, family and this little guy. My favourite subject!
For those following my photography last summer, it consisted mostly of shooting this boy with my GoPro in the sea. Here's to more of those coming soon.... :)
Have a good one guys!
Deadman's Handle Railtours 'AC/DC' charter, 1Z81 1005 Birmingham New Street - Tinsley & Rotherwood Yard passes Bescot hauled by Class 84 No. 84002 on 16th September 1978. The Class 84 took the tour as far as Stockport, followed by a Class 25 to Manchjestyer Piccadilly, where a pair of Class 76s took over for the run over the Woodhead route to Tinsley and Rotherwood Yard. The return was as outwards. The remains of the steam shed can be seen on the right. Those were the days!! Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
Those two extra arms I have grown came in really handy for doing this shot.

don't worry I only have another two hundred photos of this dress and me in it of course.
This reminds me of those old masters I use to look upon in the art galleries. the way the they caught the light bouncing of the heavy duchess satins the low lights in the folds of the materials the pure ostentatious extravagance of those dresses that I longed to wear myself. How I wished I was one of those ladies back then.

It was one of those grey rainy days that make you want to stay inside under covers and just snuggle up to a good book. But wrong! This time I decided to take the road less traveled and took my camera for a walk. I was 10 minutes into my windy and rainy walk when I was walking past a field of tall grass. I thought about it and decided I don't have many close ups shots, so I did what every photographer does and knelt down and viewed the world from a new angle. that was when I saw these two raindrops on the most lively and green blade of grass. Hope you guys enjoy!!!!
The staircase between floors in the old jailhouse shows more of those asterisk-shaped punchouts. The whole place is rusting, but despite years of neglect and abandonment it all feels pretty solid to walk around in.
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength
that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing
in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night,
and spring after winter. Rachel Carson

Finished my SHIP for the year just in time!
For those of you unaware, SHIPtember is an annual event that challenges participants to create a space SHIP (Super Huge Investment in Parts, minimum length of 100 studs) in a single month. I knew I wanted to participate this year, but let the first few days of September slide by without getting started. Which made things very tight time-wise, especially since the end of the month has been busy for me with Skaerbaek and other things.
Glad to have it done now! It is quite solid and can be swooshed with a single hand – though it’s heavy enough to be uncomfortable to handle that way for extended periods 😀
I will try to post a Build Log eventually as I took a lot of WIP photos that never got posted due to time constraints. Thanks everyone for your encouragement during the build process!
This year, my primary inspiration was one of my all time favorite SHIPs: Pierre’s Comarca Class Battleship.
Length: 104 Studs
Weight: 2.8kg (6.2 pounds)
Build Time: 25 days.
More photos available on Brickbuilt.
And we debate between those possible solutions. And by the process of debate, we pick the best idea. That competition between good ideas from both sides about real problems in the real country should result in our country having better choices, better options, than if only one side is really working on the hard stuff. And if the Republican Party and the conservative movement and the conservative media is stuck in a vacuum-sealed door-locked spin cycle of telling each other what makes them feel good and denying the factual, lived truth of the world, then we are all deprived as a nation of the constructive debate about competing feasible ideas about real problems :-(

What are all those aircraft doing to all my lovely star trails. Those vandals! And who made the sky a muddy brown?!
There was no moon on this night so all the light is supplied by light leakage from the 7 million inhabitants of the San Francisco Bay Area - yes, even the light on the face of the mountain is from light pollution.
The brown resulted because the exposures were started later in the evening - long after twilight. Without the moon to "blue up" the sky the stray light of low pressure sodium vapor lamps and tungsten lights works its muddy deed. When I get a few months I may try to REMOVE all of those aircraft trails from the SFO and OAK airport it seems, however, that it's like trying to paint out graffiti on a Los Angeles Freeway...
If you want to know more about Mission Peak I wrote a lovely article on my blog.
If you're wondering "Steven, how do you get these long exposures late at night - the park closes at 10 pm" the answer is: I'm already home asleep! I make my camera do the work by itself. If you do happen to see a camera all by itself in Mission Peak Preserve... please leave it alone - it doesn't take well to strangers ;-)

It was impossible to recover my card. So, I only have some photos left from those days. I have to go back there! :)
For those of you who have seen the series "Keeping Up Appearances" you'll certainly understand the title. For those who have not see this series....
Hyacinth Bucket "It's pronounced Bouquet" was fond of saying weak as water when someone was acting in a weak or indifferent way.
10:30 last nigh (2330) a thunderclap broke loose, enough to shake the windows in the house. All right, I thought, the storms have arrived and I'm going to catch them. I headed out to my local spot and set up, anticipating the great show that was coming up.
Unfortunately the great storm turned out to be "weak as water" and this is the best of what I got. I called the pursuit at 11:30 (2330) and headed back home, once again disappointed in the show that Mother Nature had decided to put on. Hopefully she'll get her act together and give the viewing audience the show they deserve.
The weather guesser is calling for storms today so with any luck I'll have something better to present tomorrow!
I am working on a series of painted old Mac's ... if you are a fan of Apple machinery you know who those two blokes in the image are -- if you don't you probably won't care anyway.
There are a few more models to come.

ps: I am still looking for a apple monitor from around 1991 -- if someone in Melbourne has one standing around catching dust I would love to take it in my trusty hands and say thanks with a little piece of art.
Those two rocks!!
You have to get the tide right, the time of year right fort the sun to be in the right place, which is in the (Autumn), then you have to hope for the right weather. Oh plus you need to have the day off work! So far after three years of trying this is my best shot. But by no means quite right.
Brave, courageous, determined, bold.
Being told you have a visual impairment that can't be treated can be difficult to come to terms with.
Some people go through a process similar to bereavement, where they experience a range of emotions including shock, anger, and denial, before eventually coming to accept their condition.
The RNIB is the UK's leading charity for people with vision loss. The RNIB website offers useful information, such as coming to terms with sight loss.
The RNIB's helpline is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm and Saturday from 9am to 1pm. The number is 0303 123 9999, with calls costing no more than a standard rate call to an 01 or 02 number. You can also email helpline staff (helpline@rnib.org.uk).
The RNIB's website is specially designed for people with sight loss and provides a wide range of useful information and resources, including an online community and RNIB online shop.

One of those evenings where the sky looked pretty rubbish and the weather forecast was not good either.
However as I had not been out with the camera for a week or so, I thought there was nothing to lose with a visit to Trebarwith, again!
As I said my goodbyes to Mrs P, she was in fits of laughter saying “you are waisting your time yet again, there will be no colour and you will come home complaining about the conditions”. She had a point but I drashed on regardless.
Sitting on the rocks at Trebarwith twiddling my thumbs looking at a less than interesting sky, my best hope was for some big waves to engulf the rocks. Suddenly the sky began to light up like a kids eyes in a sweet shop. I got about 5 images before the sun rested it weary head for the night.
I put the gear away, then sat on the rocks for a while taking in what Mother Nature blesses us with and Brian went home quite chuffed.
I will leave you with this thought, Have you ever wondered what happens to old trains, do they have an end of line sale 🚅🚅🚅😂😂😂.
On that note I hope everyone out there in Flickerland has a good weekend.
The comments and banter are so appreciated🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷😎😂😂😂

For those who follow me regularly I am sorry but all my medical appointments, down days etc are not allowing me time to comment, fav or even regularly view your photos & for that I apologise.
Although overall I am doing very well my health is currently a challenging situation & at times the PC has to be ignored.
This visit to the nature reserve was probably the first time I had been able to use my 300mm lens in over 6 months, results were thus variable.
Thank you for all your comments & favs, eventually I will get back to my daily Flickr routine but not in the next 2-3 months at least.
For those of you wondering, yes, this photo is on the cover of the book "Psychoanalysis Outside The Clinic: Interventions In Psychosocial Studies" by Stephen Frosh, and yes, all the i's have been dotted and the t's have been crossed. I was very honored he was interested in using it for the cover.
I want to thank daioni1976 for the B&W suggestion.
This was my 2008 Photo of the Year.
Here's a framed shot of San Diego from my favorite little park on Coronado Island. My sister and brother-in-law are here visiting so I took them so some of my favorite spots around town. This is my favorite night-time place. Oh, and once again, the smell of really good pot was in the air. Those Coronado Islanders really know how to live!
This beautiful cheetah was scanning the plains of the Mara after he and his brothers had successfully killed a wildebeest which was the unlucky one from a passing herd. Those eyes are simply captivating.
Those little droplets between my thighs... aren't they funny? ;)
Sorry for being away from flickr for such a long time. I am back with a new series titled 'sand in my shoes'! These photos were shot during our summer holiday this year. :)
Please feel free to fave, comment or:

No "seen in" logos or group graphics in the comments, please. Thank you! :)
Those who have seen my last couple of postings (Red-bellied Woodpeckers) may recognize the stump this Starling is sitting on. Having finally retired, I now have the time to concentrate on taking pictures.
I have now visited this spot in the woods for the last week, spent 4-6 hours sitting in the Ram (yes, I'm inherently lazy) and have taken about 12,000 images. Truth be told, I'm starting to see this stump in my dreams arrggghhh!
However, the action has been unreal. I will share a number of "stump" images in the next few days. To me its a lesson in patience - pick a spot and the birds will come.
