A 3x DIGITAL ZOOM shot in VERY, VERY LOW LIGHT. 23mp Superior Auto, Night Scene with Tripod detected (There wasn't one; It was handheld but I have very steady hands), flash used. Reminder; DIGITALLY ZOOMED NIGHT SHOT.
The sand engulfed my feet as each step seems more heavy than the last.
I heaved as i chased the afternoon light just shy of hiding from those beautiful cloud formations.
There was a strange tranquility in the air, beyond that eerie breeze which is the only sound I can hear on this place amidst the crashing surf.
An abandoned beach house lurks nearby.
No one seemed to visit here in a while, it can be noticed by only a few footprints left on the beach and most of them are mine.
Yet somehow i find peace on places like this.
The serenity, the quiet lucidity, which tells me that on far away shorelines one can still get a glimpse about how beyond isolation can be.

Looe has become somewhat famous in the last couple of years appearing in the BBC Crime Melodrama Beyond Paradise as the fictional "Shipton Abbot".
Turning the clock back 60 years my mother Elsie Luxton and myself in a tiller steered hire motorboat in Whitsand Bay off Looe circa August 1965 taken by my father on my mother's Kodak 127 Brownie Mark 1.
I remember this day quite well. For that holiday we were staying at Eastern Green Caravan Site near Longrock, Penzance.
It had been hot, and the forecast suggested heavy rain and thunderstorms in west Cornwall; my father decided that East Cornwall seemed the best bet for a day out so we headed for Looe.
At Looe my father hired a self-drive motor-boat which had tiller steering.
The idea had been to do some fishing, and I remember fishing tackle and bait being brought along – but we ended up going out further and further into Whitsand Bay.
I don’t recall Dad actually doing any fishing but my mother started getting rather uneasy as a bit of a chop developed and we went back to Looe after about couple of hours.
It was probably my first trip out to sea in a small boat, having only been on either the Mersey Ferries or the Seal Island Tour boat from St Ives, though come to think of it the Seal Island trips might have been after this.
My father did actually make the right call weather wise as by the time we had driven back to PZ it was clear that there had indeed been heavy rain and Branwell Lane which ran up the side of the caravan site had flooded.
Looking back I guess today we would have been censured for not wearing life jackets venturing so far out in such a small boat – especially as my father was the only one who could swim!
Why We're Afraid of the Dark (and Why It's Good That We Are).
Most kids go through a stage in which they're afraid of the dark. Any creaking floorboard, rustling shutter, or random bump in the night fill them with terror. Good! Here's why, and why we should maybe never grow out of it.
It's maybe an obvious point, but it's not the dark itself that children find so terrifying, it's the fear of whatever boogeyman or supine monster under the bed that made the sound to begin with. This fear, and the grinding anxiety that it generates, acts as a check and limiting mechanism against reckless behaviour like, say, running around in the dead of the African night with a continent's-worth of big cats out on the prowl. In other words, it's an evolutionary advantage.
Remember, for a large portion of humanity's early days, we were far from the top of the food chain. Our ancestors quickly learned that many predators prefer the cover of darkness to hunt and over time that association strengthened into a subconscious absolute: stay out of the dark because that's where the danger is.
While fear of the dark can manifest itself as an acute reaction—like panicked screaming when someone suddenly turns out the lights, or as insomnia, as a recent study conducted at the University of Toronto suggests—it more commonly manifests as foreboding anxiety. The emotion of anxiety plays a specific role in our behavioural responses to stimuli just as the emotions of love, anger, and sadness do, acting to increase our ability to cope with stress and more fully exploit beneficial opportunities.
The Moon in its final waxing Gibbous stages before becoming the Blood Worm Moon. I love the way the Moon is just nestled amongst the pine branches in my backyard.
One of my favorite parts about being human is the constant curiosity and drive to see what's just beyond the next curve, or just over the next hill.
It's the drive to go a little farther, to see a little more, and be constantly hopeful that whatever you're looking for is just around the next bend.
It keeps me going, keeps me moving, keeps me shooting, and keeps me driving to get that next shot, that will no doubt be just a little better than the last.
Cheers.

Years before UT Medical Branch was opened in Galveston a wealthy land owner secured a promise from his children that they would never sell the family land along the Port of Galveston. Of course, after he went on to his reward the land was sold (you know kids will do anything for money). Now, his solemn oath was that if the land were sold he would return to haunt them. He did and to this day.... he comes back anythime he's ousted.
The two panels above the image once contained the same image of this man. Both were sandblasted and the image removed. But..... it returned. Appears now that they've decided not to fight the old guy for property rights. Here's a link to more photos... halloweensunseen.com/faceutmb.html

"Beyond" - Our Daily Challenge
It was only one bright and sunny day during my trip to China. This made my walking along the Great Wall become pleasant... The sunshine could warm the day, cold windy day though. My hands were cold as ice but I just loved it as it's both cold and sunny . Walking up higher, I could see thing wider... It was around end of winter, everything looked dry and dusty... It gave the moods of remote and farway in the harsch season, I would imagine the military and the people who made this were faced.
It's long wall and was there more centuries for us to learn how great effort human beings could do.
Detail :
In c. 220 B.C., under Qin Shi Huang, sections of earlier fortifications were joined together to form a united defence system against invasions from the north. Construction continued up to the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), when the Great Wall became the world's largest military structure. Its historic and strategic importance is matched only by its architectural significance.
The Great Wall as we see today was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty. It starts from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayuguan Pass in the west traversing provinces of Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Shaanxi and Gansu.
