One of my attempts at the "Looking Close... on Friday" theme "Flowers and/or Buds".
Shot with a Nikon "LS-3510AF 50 mm F 3.5" (scanner) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Anyone who has followed me for more than a few years knew that I had an obsession with the elevator in Morrice, some maybe calling it unhealthy. After it was finally torn down a couple years ago, there really wasn't much reason to visit Morrice, until I started snooping around the other elevator in town that is far less appealing structurally, but has plenty of other things to work with. After discovering the WC was leading an overnight A491, I did my sleep deprivation routine and ventured out into the muggy night and began setting up. Just a few minutes before 5am, A491 comes flying through the small farming town alerting everyone to its presence, and me alerting them to mine with some speedlights.

Not sure what happened to Polar Venture I...hehe. This shot lacks a lot of 'WoW' factor, but the scene just appealed to me.

Passion flower just about to open the other day, carefully showing its face to the world. More than can be said for those on English ( the welsh appeared to be more sensible ) beaches yesterday.
Stay safe and thanks for stopping
This young least bittern was just beginning to feel his wings and to venture away from the security of his nest and home . It is such fun to watch how new and exciting everything is to them and to watch as they tentatively move out further and further.
Wishing you a great and blessed Thursday !!!!
CN 3115 ventured onto UP rails last month, leading manifest MPSHO 14 from Parsons, KS to Settegast Yard. Unfortunately, the train arrived under some terrible mostly-cloudy lighting conditions. I was able to get this shot of the train rolling past the west end of Englewood Yard on the Houston Sub main, thanks to a pop-up storm that prevented this scene from being entirely backlit. Not exactly the shot I had hoped for, but it was neat to finally shoot one of CN's heritage units.

The Viaducts, Castlefield, Manchester
A trip into Manchester last Friday to meetup with Eddie Coulson. No particular plan in mind other than a catchup and to take a few snaps. There’s a new entertainment complex being built on the site of the old Coronation St set within the Granada Studios complex, which now resides at Salford Quays. This new entertainment venue is due to open June 2023 so I thought we could wander down there and see how its progressing. Unfortunately, you can’t get anywhere near the site, let alone take pictures – that will have to wait until June now.
It's only a short walk to Castlefield so we ventured there. It’s been a few years since I last visited and I’m sorry to say the place looks awful now. Yes, there was graffiti then, but now it’s everywhere… the place looks like a sh**hole and to say that this was Britain’s first Urban Heritage Park.
When I checked on our little hummingbird nest in our back yard, I noticed one of them was outside the nest. Then about an hour later, I noticed it was back in the nest. Flight (albeit short) is the only possible explanation. Hummingbirds can't walk and they certainly couldn't have stepped over the lip of the nest. I keep checking back. I'd love to see them actually take flight.
More traffic and holiday glow from the Country Club Plaza. The Christmas lights will be turning off soon, so it will sad to see them fade away into 2020. Sorry for so many Plaza images lately. I have a few more to share this week before I'm back to other ventures.

Yesterday morning, as the first rays of sunlight graced the horizon, I ventured into Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. It is the city's oldest and, in my opinion, the most atmospheric district. This neighborhood, situated to the east of the La Rambla pedestrian street, offers a maze of small alleyways, hidden plazas, and magnificent historic buildings. While La Rambla may carry a reputation for occasional safety concerns, particularly in the evening and at night, the Gothic Quarter stands as a haven of tranquility amidst the bustling city. Its winding streets are adorned with century-old shops, charming small bars, and cozy cafes, each exuding its own unique character.
Within the Gothic Quarter, there are several highlights to explore. The Plaça Reial, fringed by inviting cafes and restaurants. Plaça Sant Jaume is home to the city hall and the Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya, which serves as the seat of the Catalan government. And, of course, there is the majestic La Catedral, an architectural marvel that never fails to impress. In summary a picturesque setting to capture some photographs in the morning twilight – Barri Gòtic, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

Water quality in the River Mersey had been severely affected by industrialisation in the region, and in 1985, the Mersey Basin Campaign was established to improve water quality and encourage waterside regeneration. In 2002, oxygen levels that could support fish along the entire length were witnessed for the first time since industry began on the Mersey. Salmon are now found in the river. They can be viewed on the Salmon Steps at Woolston Weir And Howley Weir between the months of September and November. Since 2006 Atlantic Grey Seals have also ventured as far inland as Woolston.
In 2009 it was announced that the river is "cleaner than at any time since the industrial revolution" and is "now considered one of the cleanest [rivers] in the UK".

One November morning I ventured out quite early, it was very cold; typical for this time of year. i noticed a squirrel busy collecting and stashing his horde of nuts for the long winter ahead. he stopped his frantic behavior for just long enough for me to take this photo. then he was off at a frenetic pace scurrying about on his merry way.
