It's a bit tatty....but it's the only one after 8 packets I could find with a fitting message!
To all my flikr friends who inspire me and encourage me 😘
This was meant to be just a recce as I favour a good sunset (ok we don't seem to get those atm) but the walk from where you park the car is longer then I expected especially when I've been suffering from a bit of a Lyme flare up this week. However for me poppies are enough of a motivation to shake off any aches and pains!!
The light and shadows I think were enough for me to come away with a couple of shots that weren't completely flat but I do favour that golden light
I hope to return before they go over! And summer where are you?
a bit sinister I would say 😛

Got a bit carried away with this weeks theme of water.
I have done the classic water drop photoshoot before but always wanted to go back to it to try and improve my technique....
This little collection were all taken in 45 minutes before my batteries on my flash ran out for the second time.
Off camera flash fired at full power by radio trigger.
Which one do you like best???

Into the realm I found peace and kindness. I thought I would go to this hiking trail where I have been before. Seems like a great spot for some scenic wooded shots, and a wee bit of solitude.
(if you don't mind all the dog walkers with multiple dogs)

There were a couple of groups of people on Waterloo bridge the night before last trying to get this shot with mobile phones who asked me to send a photograph of the view - so here it is
(bit dark for iPhones)
Bit of a shame this was so filthy, nevertheless here's 66779 "Evening Star" at Chellaston with 6D44 11.10 Bescot Up Engineers Sdgs - Toton North Yard. Pole shot. 12/01/22.
I now have plenty of sandhill crane photos. Since the light level was pretty dark anyway, I decided to play with shutter speed and blur a bit.
It's always a little bit risky to wake up in order to catch a sunrise when the sky is covered, especially when you have to walk/dirve an hour before reaching a good spot. However, it can worth the risk because a cloudy sunrise is generaly much more dramatic than a perfect clear one.
That's what I thought this morning (and to be honest, I think it's always worthy to wake up ;) ). I drove to the beautiful Creux-du-Van (one of my favorite place for sunrise). Unfortunatly, there was alreay a full stuffed guy (with 5Dm3, lee filters everywhere, and so one) where I planed to be ... Moreover, the sky was too cloudy and even if the sunrise was not that bad, the light itself was quite cold.
I was kind of discouraged when suddenly, I saw this young ibex lying down in the rocks : I could not believe my eyes at the first place: it was so close ! I removed my wide-angle and took a zoom very slowly in order not to frithend it. Then, I realised that I could have danced a rain dance (which could have succeeded !), it would not moved an ear. It was not wild at all and let me take as much pictures as I wanted as he wandered and ate grass here and there. So that's what I did for more than an hour. (I guess it was a kind of "Wildlife Photography for Dummies" session)
It's very impressive to see how ibex do not fear height and walk on the steep rocks as if they were flat.
So yes, it was worth waking up, but not for the reasons I expected, which is even better.
This picture was explored on the 11th of May 2016 ! Thank you for your kind comments !
This one is a bit of processing magic. I finally found a new program that can create what I see in my mind when I look at a photo. I loved this scene, but the colors weren't as vibrant as I wanted them to be, nor was the sky interesting enough. After about an hour, voila. The fort in St. Augustine has a more lovely backdrop of clouds, and more vibrant tones in the water and sand, which makes this photo really pop. I enjoyed working on this one!
I won't be on here much this week. Thursday starts extended hours at my store for the Labor Day sale, and hopefully I will be very busy. We're also about to be hit by what should be a tropical storm in another day, packing winds of up to 65 mph and soaking rains. Worse case scenario, no work Thursday! Might have no power, AC or internet, either! Please pray for us down here in Florida, especially those on the west coast, where they are expected to get up to 15" of rain! Welcome to sunny Florida!
Having a bit of Halloween fun with this old image of the iconic abandoned Guyett house in Southwestern Ontario. Sadly, this house was finally demolished. With the help of AI, I added some birds and a ghost in the upper window. Just having some pre Halloween fun!

A bit of plodging was required to capture this composition, taken last November on the edge of buttermere. A bit of plodging was required to capture this composition, taken last November on the edge of buttermere.
...with a bit of rainbow. Very green......I believe there's a plan to turn the pasture where the cows are into a wetland.
The Shanghai, China, Huangpu River boardwalk at night at the Pudong District. It reminded a bit of Blade Runner when I was there.

Macro Monday - Sweet spot squared
This was interesting as I quite often use f16 when I want everything in focus but went for f9 in the end for this shot as I felt the point of focus was slightly sharper (if I understand correctly, that was the point of this theme) I felt a bit like I was at the opticians...is it sharper or just closer...I'm never sure there either! ;)
I am slowly catching up after my weekend away. I am going away again in a few days so may not be on Flickr much for the next week, I will try to comment when I can but actually have a very busy few weeks ahead. HMM
I sometimes find myself reshooting places. Sometimes it's purposely planned. Other times, like this, it's purely accidental.
Well, not purely.
I follow a path when I travel. I have certain things I need to shoot, and I generally don't deviate from that path. Somehow this old service station was on my path, but not marked as a stop.
This happens a lot too. I have no idea how long a day will last or where I'll stay or get to even the next day. I love traveling like this. There's enough of a sense of wandering to satisfy that primal urge. But there's also a sense of order to satisfy all those orderly bits about me.

Bit by bit freedom is being eroded.
BBC News 25 September 2025:
Sir Keir Starmer is expected to announce plans for a compulsory UK-wide digital ID scheme in a speech on Friday.
The prime minister believes it would help crack down on illegal working and modernise the state, according to senior figures in government.
The practicalities of the scheme will be subject to a consultation, which will also look at how to make it work for those without a smartphone or passport.
On the other hand:
Arguments against national ID cards in the UK primarily centre on concerns over privacy, civil liberties, and cost. Opponents argue that a mandatory national ID scheme would fundamentally alter the relationship between the individual and the state, shifting the perception of identity from something inherent to the person to something granted and controlled by the government.
There are significant doubts about the effectiveness of ID cards in achieving their stated goals, such as tackling illegal immigration or crime. Critics contend that people working "off the books" or involved in criminal activity would simply operate outside of the system.
A centralised database of personal information would be a prime target for hackers and could lead to mass surveillance, tracking, and profiling of citizens, (as if it didn't happen already). I mean - like most people I have a passport, a driving licence, a bank account, an NHS number and a mobile phone. - what more do they need to keep watch on me?
I have previously posted a bit similar photo but was endlessly unhappy with the position of the wooden log. This is an improved composition to the previous one, now with the leading lines converging at the Cappella. It also reveals the chopped wood that adds so much to the sphere.
Amongst the colourful southern Tuscany countryside beside the village of Vitaleta, lies a charming little Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta. One of the most photographed churches in Tuscany, this mystical building used to be the home of a Renaissance statue of the Madonna sculpted by the artist, Andrea della Robbia in 1590. Built in the middle of a hill, this spectacular attraction was restored in 1184 by the architect Giuseppe Partini and was recently classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Dotted across this magnificent countryside are many peaceful holiday villas and luxury accommodation to stay in and soak in the undisturbed natural beauty of the area.
For Macro Mondays 'Initials' theme - this is my very first and very recently acquired marathon medal. One of the few things I'm actually quite proud of, worked very hard for a 4:33:41 finish. The initial ABP is for Associated British Ports, the title sponsors.
Another bit of flash photography due to our recent inclement weather, I caught this Great Tit in such a position that it looks as if its hiding behind its wing...now you see me, now you don't! ;)

Went for a wander in Abbeyford Woods with my friend Fran (who managed to get us lost ... which was rather amusing) ... the light wasn't great and avoiding copious amounts of dog poop meant I didn't get a great deal of interesting images ... but I love this one :D
Think I used the Takumar 55mm ... but to be honest I forget :D
Getting a bit of later start than usual, the Night Gas gets underway westbound as afternoon thunderstorms build over the mountains around Missoula. Wish I'd put on a bit heavier of a lens to bring in the mountains a bit more, but given how the first 8 days of the trip had gone anything by this point was just bonus materials.
Bit of a blow out this morning.
Turned up, got this shot quite quickly. Then the heavens opened and it became clear very quickly that I was totally unprepared for it. Wet camera, wet lenses, wet filters and wet me.
To top the morning off as I was walking back to the car I dropped my camera on concrete. Surprisingly its mostly fine. A little dent/chip of paint lost. Certainly could have been much worse.
But anyway, at least I got one shot.
Popped the drone up for a bit of practice this afternoon. The light was good, so I chose the ND4/PL filter. I remain quite self-conscious when I fly, so was careful to keep the drone out over the water and practice manoeuvring from there, so as to minimise disturbance.
The Moorings at Metung, the main white building pictured here, is built on the site of an old boat-builders and also a place where flying boats moored during WW2.

This is the view of the top floor of the structure next to Wind Tree in the Winyard Quarter on Auckland's waterfront.
It is a strange structure but certainly has some nice lines. I watched the Matariki lights on the bridge from up here. I totally expected there to be lots of people, I was mistaken.
