The cliffs at Hunstanton, Norfolk are famous for their colour bands and revealed geology.
The lowest dark brown level was laid down in shallow warm seas 70 million years ago during the Cretaceous. It is a 'Carstone' composed of sand and iron compounds and used as a local building material.
The younger much thinner 'red rock' layer is chalk coloured with iron pigments. Above that is a thick layer of white chalk. All have fossils but frequent rock falls make it dangerous to be too close.
The wreck is the remains of a 130ft long trawler 'S T Sheraton'. Built in 1907 it saw additional duty in WW1 and WW2 for minesweeping and anti-submarine patrols. If five years of war was not enough, she was then selected for bombing practice! She escaped that ignominy by breaking her moorings and going aground for a peaceful life (including providing a nice foreground for photographers) under the cliffs.
The Lloyd's building (sometimes known as the Inside-Out Building) is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London. It is located on the former site of East India House in Lime Street, in London's main financial district, the City of London. The building is a leading example of radical Bowellism architecture in which the services for the building, such as ducts and lifts, are located on the exterior to maximise space in the interior.
In 2011, twenty-five years after its completion in 1986 the building received Grade I listing; at this time it was the youngest structure ever to obtain this status. It is said by Historic England to be "universally recognised as one of the key buildings of the modern epoch". Wiki info.
This dragonfly landed on a tree branch just ahead of me at Koll. I often see them on reeds and tall grass, but haven't seen tree
branches, 6 feet off the ground!
Any time I shoot dragonflies, my ultimate goal is to see the compound eyes, and a few of the shots of this one did reveal them (enlarge for detail)
Miracle Plant ~ The word Aparajita means undefeated ~
~ It's Feng Shui properties are also miraculous -
Having an Aparajita in the house compound
gives the House an Invincible Aura
which transcends on to it's inhabitants as well.
~ Its roots when grinding with vinegar and applied
on pimples cure it within no time.
~ Aparajita is a destroyer form of Goddess Durga
that destroys the demoniacal energies.
As you may have (not) noticed I am a little behind the wave with photography this year. But I am still here; just trying to do too many things at once…
This is for Sliders Sunday and my 100x project. It’s seven images of some CDs that I was clearing out, all lovely and iridescent in diffuse sunlight from a nearby window. They have been stacked in Affinity Photo in various ways and the results combined (mainly using the result of the Range operator stack).
The symmetry was created by flattening to a new separate layer, rotating half a turn and then blending it back (with Darken in this case).
I've done nothing with the colour or the contrast apart from the blending.
A quick bit of graphic art…
Hope you are well and happy!
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday and 100x :)
Queen Anne's Lace blossoms such as this one are compound flowers made up of many tiny white flowers arranged in a flat-topped cluster. The nectar is located at the base of the tiny flowers, which is ideal for pollinators with short proboscises like the honey bee you see here.
Happy Wing Wednesday

What to do on a rainy morning !!. Why not focus stack an unexpected visitor. This image was created using 10 photographs composited together using Zerene Stacker.
I used a bank of LED lights on the right hand side and a white card to the rear to bounce the light.
I used TriggerTrap to fire the camera to avoid camera shake.
A lone Gray Wolf on the prowl out at Cedar Meadows Wildlife Parks new wolf compound located in the Township of Mountjoy in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada
It is virtually impossible to describe the typical appearance of the wolf Canis lupus. Wolves of many large arctic islands and Greenland usually appear snow-white from a distance, but closer up often reveal grey, black, or reddish shades. Wolves of northern North America and Eurasia vary in colour. A single pack may contain animals that are black, shades of grey-brown, and white. Wolves in the heavily forested areas of eastern North America are more uniform in colour. They are often a grizzled grey-brown, similar to some German shepherd dogs.

Wespe
Nachdem die Wespe fast ertrunken war, blieb sie einige Zeit still in dieser Position. Das gab mir Gelegenheit für viele Makroaufnahmen. Die Augen dieser Tiere sind faszinierend.
Compound of Kenchouji as seen from the Sanmon gate. Kenchouji was originally built in 1253 but has been rebuilt several times.
The architecture in the right is Butsuden (仏殿), in which the statue of Ksitigarbha is housed. Since it was moved from a Tokugawa mausoleum, its architectural style is different from other architectures in the compound.
The one in the middle is Hattou (法堂) that is installed with the fasting Buddha and the painting of the dragon in the cloud. It is the largest wooden architecture in Kamakura completed in 1825.
Karamon (唐門) or Chinese Gate in the left is the gate of Houjou (方丈) that is the main building of the temple. The gate was moved from the same mausoleum as Butsuden. Houjou was moved from the same temple as the Soumon gate, i.e. Hanjuuzanmai'in (般舟三昧院) in Kyoto.
The building behind Hattou is Shoin (書院) or Study.
Queen Anne's Lace.
A lacy, flat-topped compound of tiny, cream white flowers, with 1 dark reddish brown to purplish flower usually at the center of each compound.
They can be found in dry fields and waste places and range throughout the east except for the Arctic. They are also in much of the west.
Crosswinds Marsh, Wayne County, Michigan.
A Sympetrum striolatum from a while back. This one was a recently emerged individual, it seems that the ommatidia of the compound eye are much more apparent in teneral individuals, I still wonder what Dragon vision would be like, that's not just the compound eyes, you would have to factor in the 3 ocelli as well. I reckon a real case of sensory overload.
This was a natural light focus stack of a Darters noggin :o)

I have to say that I really like my 65mm macro lens but not all insects are happy to let you get as close as you need for things to be in focus, which is about four inches. This fly was one of those subjects that tolerated me for a bit. I find the compound eyes to be quite something especially when you can resolve to the individual ommatidia in the eye - those tiny photoreceptor cells. I'm going to have to try for some increased magnification but I suspect not on a live insect...
