This was probably my favourite outing during my trip to the Faroe Islands, probably because of the unexpected photographic opportunities. I set off hiking up Slættaratindur from the high pass of Eiðisskarð and could see the summit shrouded in fog and a fresh coating of snow, but continued nonetheless. On the ascent I encountered a Danish couple who said they'd attempted the summit but gave up due to poor visibility and treacherous conditions. Being the stubborn person I am, I continued to see for myself.
Personally, I didn't find much difficulty throughout the ascent, but there again I'm used to winter conditions on the mountains at home. There were a couple of scrambling sections nearing the summit, but nothing worse than I'd attempted beforehand. And I'm so glad I made the decision to continue as the views were incredible.
This is the 3rd country high point I've conquered after Iceland's Hvannadalshnjúkur and Norway's Galdhøpiggen, but certainly my personal favourite in terms of photography mainly due to the epic conditions. The mountain fog was swirling around the summit, revealing glimpses of the view in all directions. This is the view looking east towards Funningsfjørður.
The name Slættaratindur literally translates as "flat summit”, and although from a distance and during the ascent it seems a misleading title, on reaching the top the name becomes apparent as it is certainly more spacious than expected, albeit with steep drops on all angles.
A light snow fell overnight leaving a fresh coating on the top of the Norway Spruce - a perfect perch for this Eastern Bluebird.

A tranquil morning with the mist rolling of the lake into the scene. The Ivy caught my eye to this scene covering the tree to the right. The light did the rest.
Cargill (CRGX) MP15 404 was repainted into this striking scheme by Cherokee Coatings a little over a year ago. Now it toils at the Cargill plant in Gibson City, IL. I have not been able to determine its lineage.

This was probably the most challenging landscape image I made on my recent break at West Bay in Dorset. The wind was howling and rain spots were constantly coating my ND grad. I sort of shielded my camera with my body to try and minimise the rain spots, but inevitably I had to remove some of them in post processing. Sunsets were very limited in their appearances throughout the week and this session was typical of how things were panning out; there was just a tantalising glimpse of orange along the horizon, but it didn't really develop beyond a teasing strip!
With a frosty fog, fresh coating of icy snow, and a chill in the air, it was the perfect setting for a first light CN M394 with a wonderful surprise leader. Coming into Battle Creek with CN 2454 leading, their 3rd unit, a UP GEVO, was cut off and a CN SD40-2W was added on the point. With marker problems plaguing the train, it gave me the time delay I needed to get some daylight and make all of this possible and worthwhile.
Alcea is a genus of about 60 species of flowering plants in the mallow family Malvaceae, commonly known as the hollyhocks. Hollyhocks are annual, biennial, or perennial plants, The herbage usually has a coating of star-shaped hairs.
The Angel of the North is a contemporary sculpture by Anthony Gormley which was completed in 1998 and is located in Gateshead in North East England. It is thought to be the largest sculpture of an angel in the world and is visited by 33 million people every year.
The sculpture is situated on the site of a former coal mine and is a symbol of the transformation of Gateshead and the wider region from heavy industry to the modern age.
The Angel of the North stands 20 metres (65 feet) with a wing span of 54 metres (175 feet) and weighs nearly 200 tonnes. The sculpture was fabricated in Cor-ten steel which due to the alloys weathers to form a protective coating. It can withstand winds of over 160 km/h (100 mp/h).

The tulip is a perennial, bulbous plant with showy flowers in the genus Tulipa, of which around 75 wild species are currently accepted and which belongs to the family Liliaceae.
The genus's native range extends west to the Iberian Peninsula, through North Africa to Greece, the Balkans, Turkey, throughout the Levant (Syria, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan) and Iran, North to Ukraine, southern Siberia and Mongolia, and east to the Northwest of China. The tulip's centre of diversity is in the Pamir, Hindu Kush, and Tien Shan mountains. It is a typical element of steppe and winter-rain Mediterranean vegetation. A number of species and many hybrid cultivars are grown in gardens, as potted plants, or as cut flowers.
Tulips are spring-blooming perennials that grow from bulbs. Depending on the species, tulip plants can be between 4 inches (10 cm) and 28 inches (71 cm) high. The tulip's large flowers usually bloom on scapes with leaves in a rosette at ground level and a single flowering stalk arising from amongst the leaves.Tulip stems have few leaves. Larger species tend to have multiple leaves. Plants typically have two to six leaves, some species up to 12. The tulip's leaf is strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and the leaves are alternately arranged on the stem; these fleshy blades are often bluish green in color. Most tulips produce only one flower per stem, but a few species bear multiple flowers on their scapes (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica). The generally cup or star-shaped tulip flower has three petals and three sepals, which are often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. These six tepals are often marked on the interior surface near the bases with darker colorings. Tulip flowers come in a wide variety of colors, except pure blue (several tulips with "blue" in the name have a faint violet hue).
The flowers have six distinct, basifixed stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals. Each stigma has three distinct lobes, and the ovaries are superior, with three chambers. The tulip's seed is a capsule with a leathery covering and an ellipsoid to globe shape. Each capsule contains numerous flat, disc-shaped seeds in two rows per chamber. These light to dark brown seeds have very thin seed coats and endosperm that does not normally fill the entire seed.
Etymology
The word tulip, first mentioned in western Europe in or around 1554 and seemingly derived from the "Turkish Letters" of diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, first appeared in English as tulipa or tulipant, entering the language by way of French: tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulīpa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend ("muslin" or "gauze"), and may be ultimately derived from the Persian: دلبند delband ("Turban"), this name being applied because of a perceived resemblance of the shape of a tulip flower to that of a turban. This may have been due to a translation error in early times, when it was fashionable in the Ottoman Empire to wear tulips on turbans. The translator possibly confused the flower for the turban.
Tulips are called laleh (from Persian لاله, lâleh) in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and Bulgarian. In Arabic letters, "laleh" is written with the same letters as Allah, which is why the flower became a holy symbol. It was also associated with the House of Osman, resulting in tulips being widely used in decorative motifs on tiles, mosques, fabrics, crockery, etc. in the Ottoman Empire
Cultivation
Tulip cultivars have usually several species in their direct background, but most have been derived from Tulipa suaveolens, often erroneously listed as Tulipa schrenkii. Tulipa gesneriana is in itself an early hybrid of complex origin and is probably not the same taxon as was described by Conrad Gesner in the 16th century.
Tulips are indigenous to mountainous areas with temperate climates and need a period of cool dormancy, known as vernalization. They thrive in climates with long, cool springs and dry summers. Tulip bulbs imported to warm-winter areas of are often planted in autumn to be treated as annuals.
Tulip bulbs are typically planted around late summer and fall, in well-drained soils, normally from 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) deep, depending on the type. Species tulips are normally planted deeper.
Propagation
Tulips can be propagated through bulb offsets, seeds or micropropagation. Offsets and tissue culture methods are means of asexual propagation for producing genetic clones of the parent plant, which maintains cultivar genetic integrity. Seeds are most often used to propagate species and subspecies or to create new hybrids. Many tulip species can cross-pollinate with each other, and when wild tulip populations overlap geographically with other tulip species or subspecies, they often hybridize and create mixed populations. Most commercial tulip cultivars are complex hybrids, and often sterile.
Offsets require a year or more of growth before plants are large enough to flower. Tulips grown from seeds often need five to eight years before plants are of flowering size. Commercial growers usually harvest the tulip bulbs in late summer and grade them into sizes; bulbs large enough to flower are sorted and sold, while smaller bulbs are sorted into sizes and replanted for sale in the future. The Netherlands are the world's main producer of commercial tulip plants, producing as many as 3 billion bulbs annually, the majority for export.
