A bit of rain falls from a majestic cloud at the Mogollon Rim.
BTW here's my gallery on the pandemic: www.flickr.com/photos/pagedooley/galleries/72157713560199...
It was nice of the shop to line them up like that, but they could have made them a bit straighter for me! ;) If I could have reached I would have done it myself... =)
Have a great weekend

BNSF 4043 leads the H-LAUDEN1-02A south through the soaring cliffs above the Bighorn River in jaw dropping Wind River Canyon.
A bit of a Mary Poppins type shot here but instead of the rooftops of London it is the rooftops of St Ives. I have shot this view from the passenger seat through the open passenger car door window many times. It is a well known beautiful view whenever you are taking the outbound road from St Ives towards Carbis Bay. On this particular day I was stretching my neck as usual to 'grab ' a shot when Jonathan spotted a gap on the road and pulled in and parked for just a couple of minutes. I was enchanted by the little garden foreground left, that being below the view from the car window I had never spotted before and was enchanted by both that and the wonderful view from that vantage point…..
St Ives is a town in Cornwall, England, known for its surf beaches, like Porthmeor, and its art scene. The seafront Tate St Ives gallery has rotating modern art exhibitions, focusing on British artists. Nearby, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in the modernist artist’s former studio, displays her bronzes and other works. Boat trips go to Seal Island, just west of town, to see the seal colony….
The large Tower belongs to St Ia's Church, St Ives, is a parish church in the Church of England in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. It is dedicated to Ia of Cornwall, a 5th- or 6th-century Irish saint, and is a Grade I listed building..
I had seen this Moss growing on a wall and after a very wet night it looked very fresh is some early morning sunlight.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. His bag says "Doing Our Bit" in relation to recycling I imagine but it is a suitable title for the pandemic too as both my subject and I are wearing masks here. A 'thank you' was shared between us both after I took this. Enjoy!
The last little bit of color as winter takes hold. The colors were enhanced by the rain, which made a lovely picture in an otherwise pretty ordinary view from a window. 20171216WestLakeHillsDxoLr1
Focus stack (50 images) Shot with single off-camera strobe (Godox AD200Pro/XPro II trigger), bare bulb, mounted on overhead boom, bounced off 32 inch white umbrella.

masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension
Given the Beauty of this Flower and its Visitor, clearly the Devil lost! The ancient story goes that the vernacular name of Succisella inflexa, Southern Devil's Bit (Morsus diaboli), goes back on the enmity between the Devil and Beneficial Nature. Our Scabious once in the dawn of humanity was a Heal-All, much to the dismay of the Devil who sought only anguish for humankind. Out of pure spite he bit off the main part of Scabious's root - regard its shallow rooting today - hoping the plant would die. Hence 'Devil's Bit'. Of course, Succisella didn't die but it did lose its healing powers. In compensation it remained attractive and beautiful, full of Plenty for myriad insects among which Butterflies and also this marvelous Hoverfly.
Belted Flyer. Volucella zonaria, by the standard of Hoverfly sizes, is very large; it measures about 2.5 cm (=almost an inch) compared to the 2-3 mm (.09 inch) of the smallest ones. And Zonaria's color is striking as well, very orange-yellow, mimicking a Hornet. So often it's called the Hornet Hoverfly. Entirely harmless, though; not a devil at all in her!
Freesias and Lavender are joined by a sprig of Rosemary.
Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f1.4 with Raynox 150 close-up lens.
University started again and it's very interesting, but my schedule is really full as always and it's kinda exhausting already. So I will be (hopefully not to long) a bit missing on flickr. Additionally I have a flu since one week. Good news is my visit of munich was fantastic! Lots of sightseeing in one day - new record I think.
Have a wonderful monday friends!

……We are all feeling a bit battered at the moment as we all try to cope with a new way of living in these unprecedented times. This farm entrance has had a run-in with bigger machinery that seems to grow larger every year! Wishing you all the very best with your Lock-Down - Stay at HOME to stay safe and to NOT be a vehicle to the virus, Alan:-)

Fun time with some coins, lightbox, and color prism. Hope you enjoy this series as much as I liked playing around with the light and angles of the light.
Sometimes described as a wooden Thrup'nny bit this coin was worth 1/80 of a pound and bears some resemblance to the present pound coin having 12 sides and golden colour. I chose this for the "Redux" theme on currency.
I've probably been in Thailand too long to think that the water of Emerald Lake would be anything other than freezing cold. Call me soft but even though it was a really hot day I only lasted a few seconds paddling in the lake
For this to make any sense it would be helpful to have a quick look at my previous picture of the Fire Station coffee shop (and art centre).....
I have photographed the exterior of this building on three occasions now. It is a street photographers dream. Yesterday Kerry enquired in the comments, if I had had a coffee? Well I felt a little guilty that I hadn’t and thought I would rectify that today.
There is currently an exhibition of sculpture by Johannes Von Stumm on in the Fire Station. I took my mother (who is an artist in her own right) to have a look around. I bought our coffees and then surveyed the artwork.....I’m always attracted to the price tags first.....One tag read £42,000 and another read £51,000. Beautiful artwork but not really my cup of tea (or price bracket)......
The pictured bronze was sat by the bar and caught my eye. I went over and looked at it. It was a completely different style of work to the other sculptures. Much more up my street. I enquired of the barman if this was made by Mr Von Stumm as well? .....
He said No. One of the bar staff had made it!!!!!
Heck there are some very talented people around.....
Thanks for visiting.
Have a good weekend.....

Sometimes the only tweaking you need to do is a bit of a cropping and adding your name. Thank you Alchemy for your wonderful benefits.
