This old train trestle was built in 1916. It spans Whatcom Creek in Whatcom Falls Park in Bellingham, WA. I try to image this rickety looking structure supporting a locomotive and train cars.
Am trying to comment, but the flickr gods aren't cooperating.
I've missed you all
I've had a chance to reflect. I have to spend time researching for and pulling together stories, all of which I want to feature on flickr. There are also a number of other projects I've been putting off for the eighteen months that I've been on flickr. I need to get some balance going here. All this means that, for the foreseeable future, I will be up on flickr every two or three days rather than every day as I have been to date. Many of my flickr buddies have curbed their flickr activities, and some have even dropped off flickr for reasons similar to mine.
Flickr is an addictive business. It has a tendency to take over, and Explore really drives the addiction. Explore is like heroin in that it stokes us for a period of time by including everything we post, only to drop us us for periods of time during which we try everything to regain the old Explore high.
Not trying to be resentful or maudlin here. Just trying to put flickr into perspective. I'll still get around to see you all on a regular basis, and I promise to pull some good stories together. Thanks for being great buddies. You've all become an important part of my life. You teach me so much, and I'll still be part of this great community.
Feel free to email me directly at any time. I'm around a lot.

As written previously some strange encounters and experiences only hit the full impact mark with some delay.
On a recent event I was viciously struck, once again, by the fact how people are trying so hard to stand out from the crowd.
Clutching for recognition haunted and conforming to some distant paradigm.
In an almost perverted way of begging for attention, they act just merely all the same…
Waiting for a miracle to get noticed, dwelling around (could be a side effect of too many mojo-cocktails though) with eyes closed to their own originality.
Peculiar fact: they want to stand out and simultaneously being simply slightly different from the crowd terrifies them …
Exhausted by too much conversation, by all those attempts to come up with jokey and lively epigrams as the hours and the evening evolve, they seem to fill less and less the room, a kind of emptiness silently surrounding them. Awaiting some miracle solution or advice on how to navigate the crowd.
Wouldn’t it be more simple, every now and then, just to merciless avoid the crowd and just stand tall, against the wind …

As always I am grateful to all those who kindly take time to comment on and fave my photographs.

Trying to photograph the local birds and what is around them. Playing with contrast, cold/warm colours and high-key.
Tried to do justice to a stunning sunset - the mountain between the trees is Ben Ledi near Callander.
Still trying to get through the photos from my Faroe Island trip. It is going to take me ages to get through them all.
The two other photographers that were with me also have some amazing photos Mike Murphy and Mike Unwin.
If you want to learn more about this kind of photography, I have a photo tour coming up! In partnership with my friend and landscape photographer Slawek Staszczuk www.photoss.net/iceland.html, I’m organizing a week long photographic tour of Iceland in June 2016. I have already led several of these tours and I’m excited to be collaborating with Slawek for this year’s tour. It will be a small group, maximum 4 guests, in an RV. No luxuries, we’ll be moving all over the country focusing on the photography, 24/7. The tuition will include image editing for anyone interested. A reasonable level of fitness is necessary as there is some hiking involved. If you’d like a chance for 1:1 training in a stunning landscape, don’t miss out on this opportunity. Iceland Air flys from many direct locations in Europe and the USA.
I always wanted to try a D810 with 36 megapixels.
That was back in 2014 when it was released - before I realised what sort of photography suited me best. Back in the day all those pixels came with a weight (980g without a lens),
This shot was in 2016 and I had just bought a used Olympus OM-D E-M5 with a single battery that had run out and I spent a whole day shooting with this Lumix LX7 with a mere 10 megapixels. At the time a didn't appreciate how liberating it was.
Oslo, Norway.

Trying out tethered shooting. Wireless its clunky but reasonably effective. An equipment update incoming for sure Learned quite a bit from experiments and first run. Exciting way to get pictures!
I try to leave a mark on my memory with every shot I take for my 365 and these lilies sure are good for leaving marks. My brother visited on Monday and robbed two meerkats which where on the side cabinet, we didn't notice anything was wrong until we seen a huge red mark on his blue jumper. Because of the lilies he had been caught red armed!!! Serves him right....
