Driving through the South Downs near Upwaltham, West Sussex, I spotted this lone telegraph pole standing in a wide, golden field beneath a sky full of shifting clouds. The light was changing fast, with dark patches rolling across the hill and bright blue breaking through in places. I pulled over and ran to get the shot before the clouds moved on and the moment was lost.
As the sun was out today for the first time in weeks, thought I would go for a drive about. Ended up at the Southwold /Walberswick footbridge, thought I would do another long exposure of 60 seconds to get the clouds streaking across the sky.
Turning Torso is a residential skyscraper, located in Malmö on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, it was built and is owned by Swedish HSB. It is regarded as the first twisted skyscraper in the world.
The project was designed by Spanish architect, sculptor and painter Santiago Calatrava and officially opened 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres with 147 apartments. It won the 2005 Gold Emporis Skyscraper Award.
After a few days of rain I got out to explore College Woods again and found this little pool under an old oak where the water was remarkably spiraling in these foaming eddies. Luckily I'd brought my variable ND filter... annoyingly no polariser but nether mind. I think in hindsight I'd have liked some longer exposures but I was pretty pleased with the effect anyway.
I saw these Turkey-Tail mushrooms in Barn Wood, not far from my house about three weeks ago. A quick search on Google has just shown me that I could have sold them for quite a bit of money if I'd foraged them and advertised them as organic. But I'm glad I left them undisturbed for others to enjoy.

Feral pigeon taken in Bushy Park, UK. Feral pigeons are descended from rock doves and can have similar plumage - various shades of grey with iridescent purple and green on their necks, though there are also many mixes of black, browns, white and piebald. They are considered a pest in most cities in the world, which shows just how successful they are.
A U.S. Navy pilot prepares for action. The Battle of Midway was the turning point of the War in the Pacific and at the the time the Grumman F4 Wildcat was the only Naval fighter aircraft capable of holding it's own against the Japanese Zero.

Sporting and meditative. Everyone wins.
The lighting, stillness, evening sounds and warmth lend to a wonderful time outside, on the water.

I've always wanted to drive the Natchez Trace, and was finally able to do so. Just north of Jackson, Mississippi this lone bald cypress in the water caught my eye. If you ever get a chance to drive the Trace, it's a two lane road of gorgeousness, actually through a national park, with a 50 mph speed limit. There are miles and miles of destruction, too, where a tornado tore through and left the forest stripped and haunting. And, you might also see the occasional deer. Make sure you have your favorite music available, sit back, and let the beauty feed your soul.

Ju Raku En, the Japanese Gardens at the University of Southern Queensland, are the largest, most traditionally designed Japanese Gardens in Australia and a delightfully peaceful retreat to spend a few hours while in Toowoomba.
They have a big lake in the middle with a number of traditional bridges making for camera friendly scenes.
