So no one knew, not even him, the problems he would find
On the day he journeyed deep into his mind
I close my eyes, I go far away
Away from the battlefield
In my dreams, well
Here I will enjoy it
Where innocence plays with all the laughing children
The kind who are crying right now
A taste of freedom from the pain
Of everything here I see
Life is sweet but I took it all for granted
And now I don't know if I could ever tell you
Just what we permit, we allow
Allow me to forget the life, I've made my own
I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home
Oh, allow me just one answer and one reason why
Why this refugee of the family of man must die?
Tell me why....
.......
Photography allows me to wander with a purpose :-)

This is Atticus who allowed me to follow him around in a very successful hunt for Meadow Voles on Saturday afternoon. It started to rain during the shoot, so he was a bit wet in this pic taken near the end. He will be back to show some of his varied activities during our short but action-packed time together.
an exchange between you and the landscape, in which - however unlikely this may seem - there is a dialogue between the two of you. It is simply courtesy to allow the landscape to speak :-)

Exactly 6 years ago today I was allowed to visit the Wave in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument for the 4th and last time so far.
Actually, the story began in the mid-80s when I saw pictures of the Wave in a magazine (GEO). Among other things, it said that it would take an endless hike through the desert to reach the Wave...no question of House-Rock-Valley-Road.
Well, 20 years later and wiser by a lot of information, I was lucky enough to win permits in the online lottery 4 times (2006, 2007, 2008 and 2016).

Heute vor genau 6 Jahren durfte ich zum 4. und bislang letzten Mal die Wave im Vermilion Cliffs National Monument besuchen.
Eigentlich begann die Geschichte bereits Mitte der 80iger Jahre, als ich in einem Magazin (GEO) Bilder der Wave sah. Dort stand unter anderem, dass es eine endlose Wanderung durch die Wüste erfordere, um die Wave zu erreichen...von House-Rock-Valley-Road keine Rede.
Nun ja, 20 Jahre später und um viele Informationen klüger, hatte ich 4 mal das Glück, Genehmigungen in der online-Lotterie zu gewinnen (2006, 2007, 2008 und 2016).

It is the presence of milky fog that allows me to control the scenography here and emphasize the depth of the scene.
For a separate the foreground and theatrical backdrop as much as possible.
With a closed aperture, which is necessary here, this can be done with only a few tricks.
For example, in cinema we used pyrotechnics - the effect of smoke and spotlights.
in general, I am satisfied with the result of the picture, given that it is from a boat that rocks and floats with the current, and the stream moves along the bridge. A kaleidoscope in one word, changing rhythms every second..
- just have time to compose your composition !
.. but if you look at the bw album?

Happy April Fools Day!
This guy cracked me up. This was shot in Badlands National park. We saw a few owls and shot a ton of images. This guy was the most fun though. I was super far from him, shooting with my 600mm. I was lying on the ground, something I do a lot to get a unique POV. Every time I would shift my weight, or pull down the camera to check my settings of look at the images, he would stop what he was doing and stare at me. There was clearly an understanding, he was going to allow me to photograph him, as long as I stayed there and did not move. When I moved, I broke the unwritten contract and he called me on it putting me in check with his unbreaking stare. I could hear him saying, "dude, seriously, sit still." So I mostly agreed with the contract and sat frozen for quite some time. I could use this to my advantage though. If I wanted him to look at me, I just slightly shifted. Done, there was the stare, right on queue.
Enjoy.
On 21 August 2017, Big Ben's chimes were silenced for four years to allow essential restoration work to be carried out on the tower.
The aim of the renovation is to repair and conserve the tower, upgrading facilities as necessary, and ensuring the tower's integrity for future generations. The last significant renovation work to the tower was carried out during 1983–85.
The original cost of the project was estimated to be roughly £29 million, but this was then more than doubled, to reach about £80 million.
In a statement, UK authorities said: “The Elizabeth Tower conservation project is due to complete in the second quarter of 2022.

The Renaissance castle of Fontaine-Henry was built by the family d'Harcourt and it took nearly a hundred years to finish it (hence it's mainly a Renaissance building, finished in 1560, but it has some details that are in the Gothic style known as Flamboyant). There was actually a fortress built here already in the 11th century and in the beginning of the 13th century this was replaced by a castle (which might explain why it next to the current castle stands a very medieval chapel).
And yes, that is a very steep roof. Steep and high. When it was built it aimed to be the highest roof in France (not the highest building, mind you, the highest roof). It's a beautiful castle, but that is a little bit weird!
The castle is still owned by people who are direct descendants of the family who first started building this castle - though the surname has sometimes changed and the current owners carry the name d’Oilliamson - since it a few times was inherited by women. The house is still privately owned, but the interior can be visited on guided tours (no photography allowed, though).
Some interesting facts about the Black-Necked stilt:
They feed in both salt and fresh water on half webbed feet that allow them to swim, although they rarely do.
They have the second-longest legs in proportion to their bodies of any bird, exceeded only by flamingos.

Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire, this tree has always fascinated me and I've never been able to get a good shot of it till yesterday. The mist blanked out the harsh sky allowing me to expose this leaning beasty the way I wanted highlighting its writhing, reaching branches.
I bought this bee themed water jug from a craft potter called Berber Dister based in the idyllic village of Cromarty on the Black Isle just north of Inverness. The artist had made her mark on the base and I'm hoping that one day it will rival Clarise Cliff's work for value. We are allow dreams.
Have a great Saturday SOS friends.
“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.
Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.”

I can't stop allowing myself to go back to Smithville to capture this tree. I love to photograph it in all the seasons and one important thing I have learned is to never take it for granted. I had a very special tree in the Smithville Lake area that was taken down without notice and I regret not photographing it more. I guess this can apply to many things in life (family, friends, etc). So here I am, early in the morning mesmerized by the shape of the extended branches along the country fence line and the glow of the sky. I ended up blurring out the grass to give the sole focus on the this magnificent living specimen. I am just awed by the shapes here as if it were drawn on the page.
I was given strict instructions I was not allowed to stand on the rocks at all to take images. The tide was coming in and huge waves were crashing through the cavern and over the rocks. You wouldn't know it from this long exposure though.
This image was taken from a ledge on the side of the rock-face. The sea spray was so bad that I only got few usable images.
Note to self. When it is that wild and windy, it really isn't worth the effort. Try as I might I could not get the filters clean between images.
I am starting my field survey season and already have way too much work. I will be cutting back posting and commenting to a few times a week to try to manage my time. In the words fellow photographer Leon-"please don't desert me'!

After the sun had risen on my visit at Pontsticill Reservoir in South Wales, I wasn't bound to the shooting position with the sun anymore. That allowed me to take a long exposure of the unusual view over the reservoir without the Bell-mouth, focusing on the Valve-tower.

False Creek
Vancouver
British Columbia,
Canada
False Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city. It was named by George Henry Richards during his Hydrographic survey of 1856-63. George Richards named False Creek during his survey of the coast in the mid-19th century. While traveling along the south side of the Burrard Inlet, he thought he was traversing a creek; upon discovering his error, he gave the waterway its modern name. Wikipedia
Burrard Bridge (Background) Vancouver, BC CA
Opened: July 1st, 1932
The Burrard Bridge (also referred to as the Burrard Street Bridge) is a five-lane, Art Deco style, steel truss bridge constructed in 1930-1932 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The high, five part bridge on four piers spans False Creek, connecting downtown Vancouver with Kitsilano via connections to Burrard Street on both ends. It is one of three bridges crossing False Creek.
The architect of the Burrard Bridge was George Lister Thornton Sharp, the engineer John R. Grant. The bridge's two close approach spans are Warren trusses placed below deck level, while its central span is a Pratt truss placed above deck level to allow greater clearance height for ships passing underneath. The central truss is hidden when crossing the bridge in either direction by vertical extensions of the bridge's masonry piers into imposing concrete towers, connected by overhead galleries, which are embellished with architectural and sculptural details that create a torch-like entrance of pylons. Busts of Captain George Vancouver and Sir Harry Burrard-Neale in ship prows jut from the bridge’s superstructure (a V under Vancouver’s bust, a B under Burrard’s).

#NoshsHoodChallenge3
Rules and details:
1) I (Noshinima Midas) tag 50 names of great photographers on Second Life. Said photographers that choose to participate in the challenge can come over to my parcel, Noshinima's Neighborhood (link below) and do an image anywhere in my city. You will be allowed two hours to use any posestands or props that you would like to add and are allowed to bring any friends you want to join you in your shoot. You are also allowed to make the shoot as safe or as adult as you like. The only rule is that you do the shoot within the city block. Take your time to have a look around to see where in the block would make a great place for your image.
2) Upload the finished image onto Flickr and place the hashtag #NoshsHoodChallenge3 on either the title or the description.
3) YOU MUST TAG 10 PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE TAKE THIS CHALLENGE ON YOUR UPLOAD OF YOUR SHOOT! NO MORE, NO LESS! I have had several people during previous challenges that have not followed this simple rule so I am making it ALLCAPS to get the point across. Link them to this post and explain the rules to them as well. They must also tag 10 of their friends that they would like to see do this challenge if they themselves choose to participate as well. You must tag people that are actual active photographers on Second Life. Tagging pages dedicated to advertising a store, tagging real life photographers and tagging empty profiles does not count and is against the rules. Also, although you are permitted to do this if you desire, tagging me and tagging yourself will not count towards the number of 10 photographers you are tagging.
Here is the link to the city block:

West Pier, Brighton, East Sussex, England
And now for something completely different! Slight interlude in the Scottish photos for something taken at the weekend.
The forecast was nothing special but the tides seemed right for shooting something at Shoreham mid morning. I decided I'd get up early and head over to Brighton to shoot the West Pier again.....who knows how much longer it will survive? This time I wanted to capture some posts (old pier supports?) that I'd seen.
Sure enough the sky was pretty grey and nothing much going on with the sea so I thought I'd try a 'Gary Gough Fine Art' type image. I'll leave it to you all to decide if I succeeded!
Had some challenges sorting out the lens distortion effect as I had to get quite close to the posts to make sure I excluded any beach. Another Tog there said he would clone out the beach if necessary but I wanted to avoid that. It's not 100% perfect but I think the distortion is removed as far as my capabilities/the software allow.
If you want to learn about the history of West Pier then pleasse see a shot I took last year of a Supermoon over the pierhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/184798091@N07/51409111073/in/album-72157719746898331/

A scene from the many tracks that cross Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire. The mist certainly helped soften the mood and allows the shapes of the trees to stand out.

THANK YOU TO MY FRIENDS
Though I am small and often fall
with friends like you I feel so tall
I watch the clouds; the deep blue sky
and know my friends will lift me high.
Though I have times when I am low,
I visit you; my spirits grow.
Just to see such words of love
and kindness shown, like Heaven above
has sent me angels to furnish me
with angels wings to carry me
I fly so high; my soul is light
I touch the sky from this great height
and even when it starts to pour;
my tears are dried by love and more,
for friends like you don't grow on trees,
but I am you and you are me
together we are family;
seeds we have sown and roots have grown
I thank you always from my heart
and pray that we will never part.

These teeny flowers are growing in the grass all around our flower beds. So I got on my belly and took a look:)
34:52 Take a break! Shoot something while lying on your back (has to be my belly:)!
I'll see everyone on Saturday - work doesn't allow time for Flickr:(
I went to the nest today and found one of the chicks had fledged. It was not too far from the nest but much lower allowing for a great photo opportunity :-)!
Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus (Juv)
Double click
The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel".
This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.
Kestrels can hover in still air, even indoors in barns. Because they face towards any slight wind when hovering, the common kestrel is called a "windhover" in some areas.
Unusual for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as is usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to fill different feeding niches over their home range. Kestrels are bold and have adapted well to human encroachment, nesting in buildings and hunting by major roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other species.
Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.
The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.
Data from Britain shows nesting pairs bringing up about 2–3 chicks on average, though this includes a considerable rate of total brood failures; actually, few pairs that do manage to fledge offspring raise less than 3 or 4. Compared to their siblings, first-hatched chicks have greater survival and recruitment probability, thought to be due to the first-hatched chicks obtaining a higher body condition when in the nest. Population cycles of prey, particularly voles, have a considerable influence on breeding success. Most common kestrels die before they reach 2 years of age; mortality up until the first birthday may be as high as 70%. At least females generally breed at one year of age; possibly, some males take a year longer to maturity as they do in related species. The biological lifespan to death from senescence can be 16 years or more, however; one was recorded to have lived almost 24 years.

Shot on location at This is Halloween.
"This is Halloween" boasts a family-friendly take on the holiday, with a small trick-or-treating village, a mini golf course, hay ride, 'spooky pirate story' boat ride, corn maze, and more. Perfect for those who aren't up for anything super scary but still want to experience some Halloween feels.
They encourage photography on-sim and rezzing is allowed for this purpose, though some areas have scripts turned off - this may limit your ability to pose yourself via HUDs and so on.
