I had a very muddy walk in the woods yesterday following heavy rain mid morning, but the sun was out for the rest of the day, and the weather was quite mild and the air was fresh. I turned left at the fork and followed the track back to my car.
This is a re-do of an image I posted a few days ago. I used a plain white background, this time, and I preferred the result. The previous version has been deleted.
HMM to everyone.
Two of my Penguin ornaments with some fake (post processing) snow. While the Melbourne area has Penguins, it generally doesn't have snow except in the high country or very, very occasionally in the northern suburbs in late winter. HSoS

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
The Brighton Marine Palace & Pier, known as the Palace Pier, (in foreground) opened in May 1899 and is now Brighton's only usable pier, it is 524 metres long. The West Pier was built in 1866 It has been closed since 1975, although after several fires in 2003 little other than the metal framework (seen in the background here) is now left in situ. The original Brighton Pier, the Royal Suspension Chain Pier, built in 1823 was destroyed in a storm in 1896 however the signal cannon can still be seen on the Palace Pier and the entrance Kiosks are still intact, and are now used as small shops on the Palace Pier. The remains of some of the pier's oak piles, sunk ten feet into bedrock, can still be seen at the most extreme low tides.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

Europe, The Netherlands, Overijssel, Hengelo station, Blauwnet regional train (slightly cut)
We just returned from a delightful stay in the lovely eastern part of the Netherlands.
Since December 2017 the train service there is operated by Blauwnet (belonging to the French Keolis group) - before that, it was handled by the Dutch Railways (NS). The change was a result of the decentralization/privatization of railway lines through public tenders.
This is number 958 of the Minimalism / explict Graphism album and 106 of Train travel fascination.

With two meters of high aspect ratio wingspan, a laysan albatross glides across the tropical Pacific. Mōlī (Phoebastria immutabilis) spend many solitary months and thousands of nomadic miles at sea only returning to land to breed.
I tried a few different compositions around Two Jack Lake in Banff. It was nearly a perfect morning...
