A Wild Morning
A very early trip out to Silloth yesterday morning guessing that the weather was going to be a little bit changeable. Sitting in the car watching the weather coming in as it was getting close to sunrise, I decided it was time to make my move.
A slightly different view from of the groyne and concrete wall I have shot before, as you can see it was the sunrise hitting the dark stormy sky that caught my eye here.
A few minutes after this I was standing at the front of the concrete wall getting soaked and trying to protect the camera:)

It had been a frosty night, it was still on the leaves under shady hedges.
I lost the detail of the snowdrops in the bright winter sun, though I was thrilled to get the approaching bee in February!

A lovely start to today down at Milford on Sea. Unfortunately I really should have worn some more practical footwear and I drove home with some seawater!

I've been working on this idea over the last few days. I wish I would have thought about the size of the dinosaurs since Ralphie is older than Randy. It bugs me that Randy is taller than Ralphie but live and learn... My results are pretty amateurish but these are my first attempts at creating costumes for anything so despite it being rough I did learn a lot from this exercise.
Almost a double moonbow. This was created by a storm moving away and a full moon to my back. The photo was taken at about 2500 ft on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Buchanan, Virginia. This is the second time I've photographed one. Here is a link to the other: www.flickr.com/photos/26352778@N08/41761089710/in/datepos...

A fiery sunrise over Raby Bay back in 2020. Sunrises like this don't come along very often so i was very happy to have witnessed this one.

Después de tres meses encerrados, por fin hemos podido salir a "deshora" y contemplar los cielos que nos ha dejado la conjunción de unos factores únicos: baja actividad de la aviación, poco calor, abundantes lluvias, unido a que aún no se ha cosechado casi nada de cereal.
Resultado: un cielo como no recordaba de limpio.
Tanta estrella se veía que yo no era capaz de salir del cobertizo por si se me caía encima alguna.

A quick trip down to the shore (before taking Sullivan for his morning walk) provided an opportunity to grab a few shots of the colourful sunrise
Where the Deschutes River cuts through the volcanic country of Newberry Crater it creates a lush counterpoint to the barren moonscape of the lavalands above.
A Beautiful View
One from a year ago on another misty morning in the Eden Valley. This image is from the bridge over the River Eden looking towards Lazonby which is shrouded in mist.

SOO was never shy about dispatching freights with a single F. Even as the wagons aged they seemed to be reliable until the end. This weeks SNS is 2227-A at New Brighton probably leading a local or transfer on May 30, 1968. It's almost blasphemy but the trailing cars are maybe even cooler than the F. No one listed on this slide to give credit to but it looks like it could be Ed Kanak's printing on the slide mount, although it is an Ektachrome and I never knew of Ed to shoot that film. Chuck Schwesinger collection.
A feeling likely every single one of us can relate to right now! I am definitely feeling a bit antsy, particularly wanting to get back out and head out for multiple days exploring and photographing our wonderful natural world. However, looks like I need to content myself with the digital form only for now (together with some walks around the neighborhood). This was from a visit to Boardman Tree Farm in Oregon a few years ago. It was a popular stop for photographers in the fall to shoot the rows of aspen, but sadly it was sold and the last trees harvested and converted to farmland.
This particular crop was from a much larger pano I took (9 or 10 frames wide I think). I was just experimenting, and when I got it on the computer some of the most interesting symmetries got lost in the wider angle but cropping it down made it more pleasing and also made the "bars" at the end of this row visible. I thought that was an interesting little detail.
It has in fact been a delight for me to spend time with my family in recent weeks, and I feel in some ways like it's made up for at least a little bit of the time I missed traveling for the job when the girls were younger. I am realizing just how disruptive the constant business travel was, not just to me but to our whole family. We have a practice now of stating what we appreciate and are grateful for at dinner each night which I think has been helpful. I am extremely grateful for such a loving and wonderful family. They have kept a fantastic sense of humor and a warm and cooperative spirit in a time when it's easy to let anxiety consume one's emotions. I hope everyone is able to find some light and color in their lives right now.
Stay safe!

What a fool I am! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDIsdDjeOOg
"The song 'Parva que Sou' was premiered in 4 concerts on Lisbon and OPorto Coliseums' in January 2011. The lyrics are sung in the first person, as if the singer is talking about herself, and accurately criticize the modern times where young men and women applying and studying for degrees and courses are soon to become slaves of the business world or the society they live in, hence the title's name (which literal translation is: The Fool I Am).
'Parva que Sou' was immediately considered an anthem of a generation and became a viral song in several social networks." (in Wikipedia).
The song illustrated by this pic is inspired on the 30/35 years old people who achieved licensing or superior courses and could not find but precarious jobs or are in the dole... A global 'plague', I know, but particularly dramatic in my country, a country facing a deep crisis and a very low social mobility. Yesterday there was a big manifestation in several cities of Portugal (only in Lisbon, more than 200000 people), promoted by those 'young' men and women. The starting point of this social movement was precisely this song... The translation does not make justice to the original lyrics (I believe it is an automatic one) and my English is not strong enough to improve it very much. I am sorry for that.
TRANSLATION:
"I belong to the 'no pay' generation and this condition does not bother me.
What a fool I am!
Because this is bad and will continue, already I'm lucky that I could intern.
What a fool I am!
And I think to myself, what a fool world where you must study to become a slave.
I am from the generation 'house of parents', if I already have everything, why to want more?
What a fool I am!
Sons, husband, I'm always postponing and I still am failing to pay for the car.
What a fool I am!
And I think to myself, what a fool world where you must study to become a slave.
I am from the generation 'complaining for what?', there is someone worse than me on TV.
What a fool I am!
I am from the generation 'I can't do it anymore', this situation lasts for far too long.
And I'm not a fool!
And I think to myself, what a fool world where you must study to become a slave."

For Macro Mondays
The theme is “Defining Beauty” We need to illustrate with an picture and a quote that links to it that specifically mentions the word "beauty" or "beautiful"
The picture is of sunlight through a Linyphiidae spider web in a gorse bush in the little wood beside my house. The colours are from wavelength dependent scattering of the sunlight. I love taking these pictures and have a crazy number of them in my Rainbow webs set
Great to get to use one in MacroMondays!
