A scene on Blackpool Promenade with the Tower and Central Pier Big Wheel sporting their illuminations.
Taken on a brief incursion onto the territory of revellers!
A moody sky helped to bring some of the ornate opulence of the Clock Tower at Cliveden to the fore.
This was a stop off point on the journey down to Eurotunnel. A place I'd never visited before and a National Trust site steeped in history, most notably brought to the public's attention by the "Profumo Scandal". It is actually the most visited National Trust venue in the UK.
This tower is actually a functioning water tower, still providing water to the House today. It is 100 feet in height and built in 1861 by the architect Henry Clutton. It has 4 clock faces and is topped by a golden statue of Le Génie de la Liberté (the Spirit of Liberty), a replica of one in the Place de la Bastille in Paris. It is covered by two layers of 23.5 carat gold costing over £70,000. (Hmmm my climbing skills have not been tested for a while!)
There is a towering Rose of Sharon tree right outside our kitchen window and recently it has started blooming. So now, washing dishes isn't a much of a chore as other times of the year.
Decided to go outside for some clear shots of some of the blooms. No "through the window" shots of these lovely ladies!
** Fair warning - there may more photos coming over the next few weeks.
The hills of Applecross tower over the towers of the Noble Intrepid, a 'jack-up' oil drilling rig currently in dry dock at Kishorn port - I can see this from my house. There are actually three towers on the rig, but from this angle the two on the left are superimposed. I can't fathom how these towers help the rig to operate! The infamous road up to the Bealach na Ba is seen in the center of the image.
Looking back at the Raffles Place towers, Singapore from across the opposite bank of the Singapore River.

A shot from one of my favorite Golden Gate Bridge area vistas down at Fort Baker.
The rock or group of rocks, depending on how you see it, were called "The Needles" by military personnel. I get it, but I've been gazing upon this big rock for years and I keep coming up with "Sharktooth Rock." Yea, I know I don't get to change the name. Haha.
Anyway, you used to be able to walk out to it on what's left of the rocky breakwater they built a long time ago. At low tide, you still could if they would reopen the area, like in the good old days.
In any case, thanks for having a look!
LMS Hughes Fowler Crab 13065 blasts away from Ramsbottom on a Bury Bolton Street - Rawtenstall,photographed on 20/12/2015
I didn't notice the person rocking in their chair until after I viewed the photos larger and saw the differences in the window. I wonder now if they saw me???
Gentle light breaks through the clouds and illuminates the scene.
Two people walking along the beach show the immense scale of these marvellous chalk cliffs.

Just loved exploring the lush, jungle area of the Honolua Rainforest in Maui. It is a sacred, magical place. This one particular tree stood out to me and wanted to try to capture it. While photos always fall a bit short in being able to fully convey the grandeur of something so majestic, had to at least give it a "shot" (pun intended). See the two people in the shot for perspective.

In summer we went to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. A road follows the rim on one side of the canyon. Sandstone eroded over a long period, resulting in hoodoos with rocks on top. Hoodoos are composed of soft sedimentary rock and are topped by a piece of harder, less easily eroded stone that protects the column from the elements. It is a very unique sight. You can walk for hours on trails to admire the scenery. We climbed down and back up at one location. The hoodoos look different close up.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from three RAW exposures.

An empty potash train, which is also ferrying power back from the Union Pacific, passes through Chinook siding on a beautiful July morning in the mountains. Chinook siding is located between the towns of Coleman and Blairmore, with Mount Sentry towering in the background.
Tall and mighty are the long blades which create energy from the skyward towering wind turbine.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.

Happy Bench Monday!
