While in the Swinging Bridge Picnic area and a view looking up at a nearby Incense Cedar. My thinking in composing this image was similar in thought to other images I captured looking down a road with something distant as a backdrop. Here I got up close at the cedar tree and looked up, focusing on both the bark as well as the tree crown and skies above. I closed down on the aperture to have more of the complete image in focus. Metering the image was a little more involved in finding an exposure that wouldn't blow any of the highlights in the brighter skies above but still allowed me to pull out the colors and details present in the shadows nearby without having a color cast.
The supporting structure for the arches looks modern but is in fact a solution worked by master masons centuries ago. A straight a shot as I culd do with my old manual focus fisheye. Simply processed from RAW without HDR. Thanks very much if you have time for a comment.
Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The reminders pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Well I do
One More Light - Linkin Park
Nearly four years ago, the world lost a true icon of the music world and I lost one of my childhood idols. His passing was one of someone being gone too soon, but his legacy remains in the music of Linkin Park.
As someone who has battled, depression and anxiety, I know what the battle can be like. To those going through it, just know that no matter how you feel, your light shines just as bright as everyone else. And while you may think that no one might care, I do. And I am sure that there are many others that care immensely about you and would be lost without your light in their life.

Have a wonderful weekend !
Well, Mazie went back to NYC last Saturday. I sure will miss her, she was a great dog. Not sure when or if I'll see her again.
Well what a grey day and in fact grey weekend its been , so i swapped hats and ventured out into the rain today to try some B and W photography. This was a quick handheld shot in the rain , only took 4 frames before my lens was wet , this one being the first effort , i plan on going back another day with the tripod.
‘Grey’ (Barclay No.1994 of 1931) was supplied to the Durham County Water Board to work on the construction of Burnhope Reservoir in the early 1930s.
At the end of construction it was sold on in 1938 for further use on the Penrhyn Quarry Railway system in North Wales where it acquired the name 'Glyder’
After falling out of use at Penrhyn It was exported, along with a number of other former Penrhyn locomotives, to the USA. After arrival in the US the locomotive was purchased at auction by Tony Hulman (the then owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway home of the Indy 500).
After many years of storage in 2012 a deal was done to see the return of Glyder (along with two other narrow gauge locomotives), finally returning to the UK after years in storage.
Although never a colliery engine Glyder/Grey' isn't far from it's first home, and certainly looks the part shunting around the colliery village in the summer sunshine.
10th July 2023.
My son didn't have school today (snow day) and we didn't have a sitter, so I stayed home. Then my daughter started getting sick and running a fever. This is about the only time she'll hold still long enough to get a picture.
When I pulled over for lunch a bunch of sheep ran towards me but lost interest rather quickly, except one … nr.43101 :-)

This is the second image I posted of the intriguing initiation well inside the Quinta da Regaleira park near Sintra (Portugal).
For me, the visit to this specific well was one of my bucket-list items. I love that spiral shape of the 27 meter staircase, the medieval feel while being down there (even when you know it is "just" 120 years old) . Photographing inside the well was difficult. There were a lot of visitors, leaving not much space for me to work my gear. I took several images and later transformed them in PS into a blend of multiple exposures.
And the title for this image? You might guess it, but maybe I just like the guitar-licks of Peter Green.
Enjoy!

Today when checking out one of the little libraries I was fortunate enough to meet Rebus, named after Inspector John Rebus from the Ian Rankin book series. (How appropriate meeting a literary character while checking out books). Anyway Rebus and I had a lovely long visit which involved lots of cuddles and hugs and, yes, a few tears as well, as he did remind me so much of our little Fred. I must admit, while my brain tells me not to get another little cairn, my heart is telling me...do it. Oh who knows, maybe one day I will cave.
