Evening view of snow textures on the lake after days of wind. Wanted to say thanks for your visits and have an enjoyable weekend.
Halnaker tree tunnel, West Sussex
Wellllllllllllll, I really couldn't turn down the chance to photograph the 'normal' view could I? 😉 Again, due to a slight wind I could not focus stack so I picked one of the exposures focused a bit closer to the camera and accepted a slight drop off in sharpness. As I've edited the shot in a slightly 'soft light' manner I thought that was fine.
Just taken delivery of a Canon Pro-300 printer as my first printer so these Halnaker shots are some of those I want to print. I doubt I'll get better autumn colours here but I'd love to get it wearing its winter coat!
Thanks for viewing.

These gulls are floating on the updraft created by north winds blowing up and over the Lake Erie shoreline.

👣 Hike : Pancrudo Norte desde el Monasterio de Valvanera (Sierra de La Demanda) Lo bueno de madrugar y alcanzar la cima temprano es ver el espectáculo de las nubes por debajo de tus pies. Entonces piensas que todo el esfuerzo ha merecido la pena:)))
Somewhere in the Altamont Pass, near Livermore, California.
These old turbines just keep chugging along, although their days are numbered as these older ones are gradually being replaced by newer, more efficient models.
When composing this shot, the various elements were in need of one additional item. The initial image contained the trees, their side lighting, the water and the reflections. It seemed good, but somewhat static. Then, as I felt a gentle breeze blow on me, it also touched the surface of the water and made the photo much more dynamic. The one missing element in this now complete picture, was the wind.
Finch patiently awaiting-resting to get his/her turn at the birdfeeder. Hang in there little one, very strong wind gusts today.
Actual shot. Had a walk down the water and saw this spider struggles to hold onto its thread in a high wind…hope he succeeded. Bird feathers were floating in the air in every direction.
A simple composed shot taken with the intent to capture the light and blowing snow across the frame.
I thank you for the visits and comments and wish you all a fine day!

“We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.”
― C.S. Lewis
Finally getting back to the Gym after a lengthy absence.
Fortunately, I still have my “work-out” soundtrack on my phone, and Donovan sang “Catch the Wind” while I was working the machines... and thinking about a title for this Pic.
"Catch the Wind" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. "Catch the Wind" was released in 1965. The single reached No. 4 in the United Kingdom singles chart.

The Sandhill Crane:
These tall, gray-bodied, crimson-capped birds breed in open wetlands, fields, and prairies across North America. They group together in great numbers, filling the air with distinctive rolling cries. Mates display to each other with exuberant dances that retain a gangly grace.
The Sandhill Crane’s call is a loud, rolling, trumpeting sound whose unique tone is a product of anatomy: Sandhill Cranes have long tracheas (windpipes) that coil into the sternum and help the sound develop a lower pitch and harmonics that add richness.
Sandhill Cranes are known for their dancing skills. Courting cranes stretch their wings, pump their heads, bow, and leap into the air in a graceful and energetic dance.
Although some start breeding at two years of age, Sandhill Cranes may reach the age of seven before breeding. They mate for life—which can mean two decades or more—and stay with their mates year-round. Juveniles stick close by their parents for 9 or 10 months after hatching.
The earliest Sandhill Crane fossil, estimated to be 2.5 million years old, was unearthed in Florida.
Sandhill Crane chicks can leave the nest within 8 hours of hatching, and are even capable of swimming.
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 37 years, 3 months old. Originally banded in Florida in 1982, it was found in Wisconsin in 2019.
