I had been meaning to get up to this Tarn for quite a long time, but finally got there this week. I took several shots, but felt a panorama was a better option to show the locations setting, so here is my pano. Eight hand held portrait shots stitched together in photoshop showing the airy location of the Tarn with the Central Lakes fells in the background.
While this angled cloud towered across the sky, its deformed reflection, lined across the lake. Together, they formed a wedge that helped direct my view toward the mountains on the other side. And, the plethora of colors leading from the foreground rock, left a maze of angles and other intersecting lines. Of course an "angler" is also a word used to describe those who are fishing. And, this lake has plenty of those as well.
Cork / Ireland ... the shape of the building amazed me and I was still disoriented because of riding and walking on the left side :)
I wish I could remember where specifically in Paris I took this so I could at least explain it.... somewhere near/behind the Hôtel de Ville, I think. Happy Window Wednesday!

Dänemark ist mit Sicherheit auch ein Anglerparadies. Mich wunderte nur das viele in den Eimern keine Fische sondern Bier hatten

The Comma ( Polygon c-album) butterfly is not one I am familiar with . I loved its irregular wing edges, which, apparently, are commonly called angle-wings .
It was very obliging and perched long enough for my to scramble over a fence and take a photo of it . The light was good and it posed beautifully for me . A gift .
Not your standard condo “box”. Love the variety presented via the angles and reset apartments. On Westminster Highway in Richmond, BC.
Saturday Self Challenge; Right Angles
52 in 2024 - Corners.
While right angles are all around us, it was still a challenge to decide what to photograph. A week of rainy weather didnt help so in the end I photographed one of our outside chairs. And then I began to play with some editing, skewing the photograph to include additional angles. It took a bit more courage to add the coloured frame and then post this one, rather than some of my more traditional photos of the chair. But here goes - my effort for this week's Right Angles challenge.

The Past: the Stone House (1848)
The Present: the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, 20 December 2020
The Future: the Park Ranger who unbeknownst to me is about to chase me out of the park…
The Great Conjunction hasn’t happened in almost 400 years, since 1623; Jupiter and Saturn aligned in the night sky to form a single bright point on December 21, 2020. A similar event over 2000 years ago is thought by some historians to be the Star of Bethlehem that led the wise men to the Infant Jesus.
What you see here was supposed to be a practice shot the night before but wound up being my best photo of this little adventure.
I have been planning this photo since I found out about the celestial event taking place…it will not happen again until 2080. I have wanted to try my hand at landscape astrophotography for a while, and this event was perfect for a first time. The Stone House is such a wonderful and iconic historic building and its relatively remote location was ideal for the angle needed to see the conjunction (between 220˚ and 240˚).
The Stone House served as an impromptu field hospital for not just one, but two massive battles of the American Civil War: the first major battle of the war First Manassas (Bull Run according to the North, July 21, 1861), and it’s even more tragic follow up Second Manassas (Second Bull Run, August 28 - 30, 1862). The grounds around it were fought over in both battles and several artillery shells are still lodged in its walls. While it sits just under a mile away from the main battlefield, it is part of Manassas National Battlefield Park.
Well preserved and photogenic, the Stone House is very easy to visit with its own parking lot outside the main National Park area and a convenient location…too convenient as it turned out. The car light trails from the nearby intersection proved to give off too much light pollution.
I had just taken this shot, only my second of the night, and was in the process of adjusting to another shot due to the light pollution present when a Park Ranger showed up, lights blaring on her patrol car. She chased out two other photographers from the parking lot, but I foolishly hoped she would ignore me. No such luck.
“The park closed an hour ago sir,” she said through her patrol car window. She followed me out of the parking lot, flashing lights still on.
And the Great Conjunction dropped behind a cloud by the time I found another location. And the following nights were full cloud cover. Lucky I got this shot! PhotoPills and StarWalk 2 for planning, and Capture One for post processing.

This little woodland puzzle kept me engaged in compositional thought for some time. The strong focal point of the trunk in the mid-distance made it for me. I look forward to returning here in the autumn. I should also thank Stuart_East for kindly sharing this corner of woodland with me. I have long admired his work and strongly recommend you visit his stream, if you haven’t already.
