I was very happy to spot this lovely caterpillar in my garden. I'll have to keep an eye out for any of the moths too.
Been doing a few London trips lately with a visiting relative and just liked all the different lines and angles of this view.
30 Days of Perception - Day 3
"Perception is primary, it's the first way we experience something." Kim Manley Ort
This morning, when it was still dark outside, I noticed that the electric light created angles because of the way the light and shadows came together. This is what I noticed first: the shapes. Then I saw how the different colours created impact. I love to take photos where we remove all possible labels and enjoy instead the play of shape, light, shadow and colour.
This is a very exciting exercise which I like very much.
Inspired by Maarten Rot's graphic designs and purposeful compositions.
Definition: in geometry a right angle is an angle that bisects the angle formed by two halves of a straight line.
A right angle is equal to 90°.

Beneath Shrewsburys unique Railway Station constructed on two bridges crossing the River Severn. Currently scaffold clad and undergoing long overdue repairs and renovations.
Having some fun taking wide angle photos of Grey Squirrels in preparation for a project with an altogether different kettle of fish in a couple of months...
I just love the peacefullness of this image. What could be better than sitting with your fishing rod on your own little piece of beautiful coastline overlooking one of Pembrokeshire's best beaches as the setting sun drifts lazily down to the horizon.

Getting feather details on these all-white beauties can be a challenge. But get the right light and angle and the results can be very pleasing.
One of my fav old photos re-worked into a CarArt print piece...
I'm going find a way to have this hanging in Joe's garage as a reminder of who has the best looking 71 Mach 1.....

Castlerigg Stone Circle, Lake District, Cumbria
Some backgound information:
Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain. The plateau of Chestnut Hill, on which the monument stands, forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells. From within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.
The stones are of a local metamorphic slate, set in a flattened circle, measuring 32.6m at its widest and 29.5m at its narrowest. The heaviest stone has been estimated to weigh around 16 tons and the tallest stone measures approximately 2.3m high. The circle was probably constructed around 3200 BC (Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age), making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain.
Current thinking has linked Castlerigg with the Neolithic Langdale axe industry in the nearby Langdale fells, with the circle acting as a meeting place where these axes were traded or exchanged. Ritually deposited stone axes are frequently found all over Britain, suggesting that their use went far beyond their mundane practical capabilities. Because of this, any exchange or trading of stone axes may not have been possible without first taking part in a ritual or ceremony. Castlerigg stone circle could have been the space in which these rituals and ceremonies were enacted.
“Antoine de Saint-Exupéry quote:
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret;
"On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux"
(It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye)

One from the archives, cropped slightly and colour and brightness adjusted.
A smallish Angler fish (Lophius piscatorius) taken at the Farne Islands. As can be seen it is angling for its meal by twitching its lure on the front spine of its dorsal fin. If you look in Large its blue eye is fantastic.
"The angler fish grows up to 200 cm in length and is a very distinctive fish, recognizable by having its head and body depressed, a wide mouth, broad head and a fleshy 'lure' at the end of its first dorsal spine, which is used to attract prey. Its colour can be variable but is principally brown or greeny brown with reddish or dark brown mottlings. It always has a white underside. The skin is loose and scaleless and the midline of the body is fringed with leaf like flaps. Lophius piscatorius is a slow moving, bottom dwelling fish most comonly seen half buried and concealed in the sediment.
The angler fish uses its lure to attract prey to within reach. Prey items are usually smaller fish (such as spurdogs, rays, sand eels, sculpins, sea snails, cod, whiting, pouting, haddock, flatfishes) but a range of items have been found in angler fish stomachs including; lobsters, crabs, squids and occasionally seabirds. Lophius piscatorius is otherwise known as monkfish and is an important commercial fish."
