Winkworth Arboretum, near Hascombe in Surrey, is always a lovely place to visit – but in autumn it’s absolutely spectacular.
This magnificent land area hosts more than 1,000 species of tree and shrub, and covers some 95 acres (38 hectares). It’s the result of one man’s vision and passion: Dr Wilfrid Fox, one of Britain's leading dermatologist who bought the land next to his house in 1937.
This was the perfect site for him to experiment with planting styles and different tree species, and wanting to preserve his work for future generaions he donated Winkworth to the National Trust in 1952, ten years before he died.
“It now provides an excellent showcase for what Dr Fox described as ‘using plants to paint a picture’”, says the Trust. Some picture!

Former train station building of Delft in The Netherlands dates back to 1885 its no longer in use but still a monument for the city
Photographed using a Helios 40-2 85mm Lens
The flare was actually caught with the lens. Flare is quite prominent with this lens. It just happened to be in the right place this time so I kept the photo.
Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees belonging to the four o' clock family, Nyctaginaceae. They are native to Brazil, Peru, and Argentina. There are between 4 and 22 species in the genus. The inflorescence consists of large colourful sepal-like bracts which surround three simple waxy flowers, gaining popularity for the plant as an ornamental. The plant is named after explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville (1729-1811), after it was documented on one of his expeditions.
The species grow 1 to 12 metres (3 to 39 ft) tall, scrambling over other plants with their spiky thorns. They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season. The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4–13 cm long and 2–6 cm broad. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colours associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes called "paper flower" because its bracts are thin and papery. The fruit is a narrow five-lobed achene.
The "muselet" is the wire cap that holds in place the cork of sparkling wine bottles like Champagne or, in this case, Crémant from the Alsace region.
There is no way that you could put back the cork into a bottle once it has been opened. By extension, the "muselet" is therefore also a single-use object.
Asparagus has been used as a vegetable owing to its distinct flavor, and in medicine due to its diuretic properties and its purported function as an aphrodisiac. It is pictured as an offering on an Egyptian frieze dating to 3000 BC. In ancient times, it was also known in Syria and in Spain. Greeks and Romans ate it fresh when in season, and dried the vegetable for use in winter. Roman Epicureans froze its sprouts high in the Alps for the Feast of Epicurus. Emperor Augustus created the "Asparagus Fleet" for hauling the vegetable, and coined the expression "faster than cooking asparagus" for quick action.
A breed of "early-season asparagus" that can be harvested two months earlier than usual was announced by a UK grower in early 2011.

In Germany, asparagus is grown in "tents" as you can see here near Geiselhöring.

OK, this is a departure for me. I do occasional HDR photos and I enjoy them. But I rarely go for anything that is overprocessed. This photo started taking on a feeling more of a painting than a photo at some point, so I just went with it. In the end, I love it! I really like this photo. Even though its not my typical HDR style, I think it is beautiful.

Did not expect to see this today!
UP 2385, an EMD SD60M "Triclops," leads northbound UP AASCN out of Villa Grove as a light rain falls. This lead unit was very faded and I'm sure the crew loved having it as their leader.

It used to be that we would be boating in BC or AK during the weeks after Christmas and New Years. Winter boating in the Pacific NW isn't for everyone, but it was pretty much our favorite time. We sold our boat a few years ago, and we miss it a lot, especially this time of year. (the image is just under 3" from top to bottom.)
My relatives used to run a small post office … the stamps they collected provided a view into history, art & politics.
This weeks Smile on Saturday theme is 'Mugs & Co'. I have mugs for drinking from, and mugs for holding my art supplies. What you see before you are just some of my "Art Mugs"😄😍
Wishing you all a wonderfully happy Saturday 😘

Happy Macro Monday!
Using an enlarger or projector lens as a day-to-day lens is challenging. In case of enlarger lens, they are usually set to perform the best on certain distance to enlarge 10 times or less). They perform very well as macro and close-up lens.
I tried it as a landscape lens. (Disclaimer: I am not a landscape photographer at all). I liked it in combination with IR or ND filter.
On this photo I tried to get a vintage BW grainy look. Long exposure aide in camera was disabled. NO grain added in post-pocessing.
I needed a change. I don't understand how you can just love bomb someone, promise your not leaving, tell them you love them and then just fucking throw them by the wayside. Fuck me I guess
Used for grinding corn and other grains. It's rare to find the mano with the metate together. I found these in an out of the way place near a river and left the mano just like I found it.
I used to load up my van and take off and follow a planned route. It was great far better than a holiday. This was taken in the north west of Scotland. The process I used was different to my usual, the sky and the sea were given a cooler tone whereas the rocks were given a warmer one.
