Between what appears like a wrinkly, "old guy" hand and a very mesmerizing eye this black crowned night heron could pass for a hypnotist, luring in unsuspecting prey. This image is uncropped.
Thanks so much for your views, faves and comments - they are much appreciated!

The Matterhorn is a mountain of the Alps, straddling the main watershed and border between Switzerland and Italy. It is a large, near-symmetric pyramidal peak in the extended Monte Rosa area of the Pennine Alps, whose summit is 4,478 metres high, making it one of the highest summits in the Alps and Europe.
In the dying stages of the year I love to visit some special places to centre myself. The moorlands and swamps of the Große Torfmoor near Lübbecke offer this special feeling. Ostwestfalen, Germany
Back to my first love, black and white photography, after 25 years of loyalty and my betrayal at the beginning of last year.
Returning to B&W after a year of color is a bit like coming home after a long trip: you feel good there, but different, and you have to find your marks, again.
Welcome to this enchanted parenthesis on Istanbul, slipped between two series in color.
Still under the weather and it was a quick visit to the beach this afternoon. This is the western side of my designated bit of beach.
Between cold & warmth...

This is what you see when you stand between the 30+ foot tall fuel storage tanks (shown in my previous image) to shelter from the howling wind and snow - a quiet and intimate (if slightly wonky as they lean in different directions) world of light, texture, colour and pattern.
In the early 20th century (1908) a permanent on-shore facility was built to process whales from the whaling industry which flourished around the South Shetland Islands. The remains of buildings and the huge storage tanks can still be seen there. Near the whaling facility, there are also buildings belonging to the British Antarctic Survey base which was evacuated in 1967 during an eruption of the volcano. The base was eventually abandoned after another eruption in 1969.
These tanks are located on Deception Island, so named because from the sea it looks like a normal island, but once you cross through the gap called Neptune’s Bellows, you can see that is actually the caldera (crater) of a volcano. The volcano underneath is still active (steam can be seen rising from the water from the heat) and it erupted most recently in 1970.

I made a short film of what I saw in Antarctica. If you'd like to see it, head over to YouTube or you can watch it here on Flickr.
If you'd like to see all my Antarctica images together, you can visit my Flickr Antarctica album.
I wrote three blog posts about this amazing trip to Antarctica. If you'd like read about the trip and see some more documentary/BTS images, you'll find the blog posts here:

Eastern Chipmunk.
Between 8 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches in length. Reddish brown above with a white belly. 1 white stripe bordered by 2 black stripes on sides ending at the rump. 2 white stripes on back much thinner than side stripes. Dark center stripe down the back. Pale facial stripes above and below the eyes. Tail brown on tip and edged with black. Prominent ears.
The Eastern Chipmunk's habitat includes open deciduous woodlands, forest edges, brushy areas, bushes and stone walls in cemeteries and around houses.
They range from southeastern Canada and the north-eastern U.S. east from North Dakota and eastern Oklahoma and south to Missisippi, northwest Carolina and Virginia.

Remember the pic I posted with the horses licking the salt off my car? Well, this is what I was shooting when they snuck up to my car.
I have no idea what this area is called, but it's about half way between the ghost towns of Loverna and Fusilier, Saskatchewan.

This is the bridge between Heron Quay DLR station and Canary Wharf DLR station.
I got up early to get there whilst the sun was coming up. In the space of 10 minutes I'd been asked by 3 different security guards what I was doing (the tripod and camera aren't clue enough, apparently) and then whether it was for personal or commercial use. Luckily the guards at Canary Wharf are a decent bunch, and they're happy to leave you alone once they've spoken to you.
Taken quite sometime ago while living in Sussex. Was never really convinced of this image and so never posted it. Am almost certain now that I like the result of this particular version
100% Illumination

I seldom time moon photographs with the total (100%) illumination but it worked out last night as the moon drifted between clouds while rising higher into the sky ...
This first part of this current upload were taken on St. Patrick's Day 2022, after the parade was over. Each images was with the oldest lens I own, a Tamron - 24.0-135.0 mm f/3.5-5.6. Although it might not be quite as sharp or as quick to focus as some of my prime lens, it is small, light and an easier, general purpose lens, to carry in my hand for a few hours. (All shots were hand held). Unsharpness was sometimes due to the focus picking up the bars as the main subject, instead of the subject, or perhaps to these aged hands, in an unsteady age.
Between going and staying the day wavers,
in love with its own transparency.
The circular afternoon is now a bay
where the world in stillness rocks.
