I shot this image when visiting old friends, and it brings back memories. My roots are just a bit north of there, but the landscape with the fat clay is very similar.
Cycling to school. Every day 15 km x 2. The view close to our home, where my mother still lives today. The land where a I worked after graduating high school to earn some money to get myself a new guitar amp and a train ticket across Europe for holidays.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I tell attendees on my workshops that exposure can be tricky on the street and that the key is to have to subject properly exposed and not to worry about the background. Being a perfectionist I always worry about blown out highlights but here they lend themselves to a magical atmosphere. Enjoy!
Looks like nature is winning the battle at this viewpoint as the trees close in and obscure the view of the line and the former Lewis Merthyr colliery. Here 143602 heads up the Rhonnda Valley working 2T08 13:00 Cardiff Central to Treherbert.
- Keefer Lake, Ontario, Canada -
Although I prefer sunrises to sunsets at Keefer Lake the light is always magical at both ... even if they are qualitatively very different. This photo is taken from my boat looking north. The small beach is a public boat launch area for those who want to fish Keefer Lake but don't live here. My house is west of here (to the left in the photo).

A perfect night is a night when he takes her out on a date. H can't help but whisper to her 'come a little closer' because he's definitely under her spell and he can't stop being close to her because he's addicted to her.

The story again for those who didn't see the B&W version:
Two months ago when I was on a morning walk near home I had a close encounter with a yearling moose. It was really curious and kept following me around! It continued to eat calmly even when it was only 2-3 meters away. It even tried to walk all the way up to me, but since they can be dangerous I didn't let it, even though it didn't seem threatening at all. What a wonderful experience!
