The changing scene down by the Three Arena in Dublin's docklands, bigger blocks down in the docks, doubled in size by reflections in the river.
It's that #FridayFeeling
It was a very cold, frosty morning when I arrived on location in Bayside, NS. The Mary Laura was sitting with what looked like a smaller, twin version of herself.

Away from the blanket of mist and fog across the Yorkshire Dales, 60103 ‘Flying Scotsman’ crosses Far Moor near Selside on the Settle and Carlisle Railway. Creating a stunning trail of exhaust as far as the eye can see...
Tomsk is quite big city in the west of Siberia. It was founded in 1604 so there are many good old architecture and it has variety of universities.
This is the Leanach Cottage on Culloden Battlefield, and is the only building remaining from the time of the famous battle in which the Jacobites were soundly defeated in 1746. It continued to be occupied up until 1912, and is now maintained in its current condition, though visitors are no longer allowed inside. We walked the solemn battlefield which is a mass graveyard, peaceful and quiet on a cloudy day, accompanied by a historian who is steeped in the stories and mythology of Scottish history.

Another view of the old compressor house at Levant. In the fog it almost looked like an old cathedral in the middle of nowhere.
For an account of my trip to Cornwall, with more pictures from the old mines, and lots of interest to anyone who’s watched Poldark:

This photo was taken in a hot hazy morning in Meteora (not unlike today's weather in Southern California in the 90s F). While most tourists in Athens headed to its well known islands to escape the heat, I took a five hour train ride in a non-air conditioned train to Kalambaka, just because of the scenery I saw in "For Your Eyes Only". Once got there, Meteora did not disappoint. I was amazed with the sandstone columns standing up against the plain and the monasteries perching up on top and the history behind these monasteries. While it was certainly hot, the haziness of the air added a warm elements to the photos taken in early mornings. The only disappointment I had was that I forgot the tripod shoe plate in my Athens hotel, so I could not take any long exposures as I had planned.
On the southern shore of the Bay o' Skaill, in the West Mainland parish of Sandwick, is the Neolithic village of Skara Brae - one of Orkney's most-visited ancient sites and regarded by many as one of the most remarkable prehistoric monuments in Europe. You look down from the top to the houses below and the beautiful expanse of sand of Skaill beach.
My take on a classic composition.

The Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its opening May 24, 1883. At the time, it was billed as "the Eigth Wonder of the World". It opened to horse carriages and pedestrians, a far cry from the walkers, joggers, bicyclists and motorized vehicles of today. In the background is One World Trade Center, a view also not familiar to the early crossings of the time.
An estimated 20 to 30 people died during the 14 year construction. Based on sparse record keeping at that time. most are believed to have died from the bends , having to dive to extreme depths to construct the moorings. The remainder likely died from malaria.
Over 30,000 pedestrians cross the Brooklyn Bridge every single day!

Seeing the juxtaposition of the One World Trade Center and the Bridge, I can not help but recall and feel connected to the thousands and thousands that came across this bridge to escape the smoke and travesty of the twin towers attack on that day on 9/11. In memory of those who lost their lives that day and the families who strive on without their loved ones as a result.
