this old car may of seen a lot of use , but it always gets me to where I need to go even with all the rattling and who needs air conditioning when the windows still go down ?

I’d like to dedicate this shot to a good friend of mine William McIntosh. I have spent the last 4 months shooting as much as I can with Bill and trying to gleen info from him about his weather prediction skills and gain some insight about his frame of mind about photography. He is a master of weather prediction IMHO and I have always admired his tenacity which has netted him some absolutely fantastic captures from Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest. Bill contacted me during the week to see if I was up for a Banzai run to Yosemite Valley as he was predicting a passage in the storm which would provide a high probability of misty/snowy conditions like seen in many of his postings from there. Of course Bill was right on the money as was shown from some of the webcams provided there. But unfortunately I had to decline as I was starting to get sick with the Flu and didn’t want to drag him down with me. Today he contacted me again to see if I was up for some shooting at Corona Del Mar but I was still trying to fight off the Flu and as painful as it was had to opt out again. Later, today, as I was digging through my folder of processed photos I found this shot and the pain of declination returned. Sorry Bill, I was more worried about getting you sick then worsening my own condition. LOL. Thanks for the invite my friend and hope you had a great day at CDM. If you would like to see William’s amazing photography, you can visit his stream here.

Tale of the Take…

This is a side view of the arch found at Corona Del Mar, If you wanted to get a full view through the arch you would need to scramble along the cliffsides base there at a specific tide level, I say specific because if you time it incorrectly you wouldn’t drown but you would have to spend a long, cold night on the rocks or call the Coast Guard to come “fish” you out which carries along an $800 dollar or better rescue charge. I’m still hoping that Bill will show me the specifics of entering here at a time that would be safe to enter and exit during the sunset. See what I mean about his tenacity. :)

I loved this old stone bridge over the river Gairn in the Scottish Cairngorms, but even more I loved the traffic sign depicting its dangers ... ;) :D

This single-arched rubble-built bridge, which crosses the River Gairn just north of Gairnshiel Lodge, originally formed part of the network of military roads in this region. It now carries the modern A939 public road which follows the line of the older road.

 

Built in 1751, it still survives in very good condition.

Happy Window Wednesday! Old building wall with windows in downtown Portland, Oregton

Yup , another random car find and this time a Morris Minor convertible .

I think it is a 1961 948 cc model .

It looked in a very good condition from what I saw at a distance .

“Repetition defines stability.”

A serendipitous discovery by the roadside, just outside Forfar. Quite impressive - lovely geometrical layout, tower in good condition.

D'après René Magritte (1933) :

« Je plaçais devant une fenêtre vue de l’intérieur d’une chambre, un tableau représentant exactement la partie du paysage recouverte par ce tableau. L’arbre représenté par ce tableau cachait donc l’arbre situé derrière lui hors de la chambre. »

 

Toutes les implications intellectuelles de cette œuvre de Magritte, s’appliquent-elles à la photographie ? Vous avez 4 heures.

 

“I placed in front of a window seen from inside a room, a painting representing exactly the part of the landscape covered by this painting. The tree represented by this painting therefore hid the tree located behind it outside the room. »

 

Do all the intellectual implications of this Magritte’s masterpeice apply to photography?

You have 4 hours.

La Pique d'Endron (2472m), Pyrénées Ariégeoises, France

 

Type F11 and L for best viewing. You really need to zoom in to see the climbers.

 

This is a picture of my most recent hike in the Pyrenees, with my son, two of his friends and a mountain guide. As anticipated, my condition was not good enough for the final segment along the ridge up to the top, and I preferred to stay at Pic du Sarrazi, watching them climb and waiting for them to come back.

 

C'est une photo de ma dernière sortie dans les Pyrénées, avec mon fils, deux de ses amis et un guide de montagne. Comme je l'avais plus ou moins prévu, je n'étais pas assez en forme pour le tronçon final, le long de la crête jusqu'au sommet, et j'ai préféré rester à les regarder grimper, en les attendant au Pic du Sarrazi.

Finally got round to tidying all of my photography folders dating back to November last year. Whilst I don't like to revisit older shots I found myself dwelling on the Ayanna Witter-Johnson gig captures from last year.

 

It was a superb night despite just about every single photography condition being against me. Luckily the lady herself was mesmorising so it inspired me to get on with the job and focus on the things in my control. The result was a crazy amount of expressive live moments. Even the high ISO worked well.

 

A companion shot to one I've already posted the venue was basically purple as was Ayanna's jump suit. I've tried to keep the spirit of this reducing the saturation and playing with the colour swatch.

 

As always thank you for any comments and faves they are gratefully received.

is the optimal

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.

 

The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus (M)

(Double click)

 

The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel".

 

This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.

 

Kestrels can hover in still air, even indoors in barns. Because they face towards any slight wind when hovering, the common kestrel is called a "windhover" in some areas.

 

Unusual for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as is usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to fill different feeding niches over their home range. Kestrels are bold and have adapted well to human encroachment, nesting in buildings and hunting by major roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other species.

 

Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.

 

The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.

 

Data from Britain shows nesting pairs bringing up about 2–3 chicks on average, though this includes a considerable rate of total brood failures; actually, few pairs that do manage to fledge offspring raise less than 3 or 4. Compared to their siblings, first-hatched chicks have greater survival and recruitment probability, thought to be due to the first-hatched chicks obtaining a higher body condition when in the nest. Population cycles of prey, particularly voles, have a considerable influence on breeding success. Most common kestrels die before they reach 2 years of age; mortality up until the first birthday may be as high as 70%. At least females generally breed at one year of age; possibly, some males take a year longer to maturity as they do in related species. The biological lifespan to death from senescence can be 16 years or more, however; one was recorded to have lived almost 24 years.

This picture is far from perfect but I like the composition.

Direct sunlight with wide angle lens = harsh condition. The flair is probably caused by the neutral density filter.

In its splendid workaday condition harking back to a non-heritage era, Prussian 'G12' Class 2-10-0 No.58 1111-2 makes a sure-footed text book departure from Straußfurt, working diagram DGN88721 08.10 Sondershausen to Ringleben-Gebesse demonstration freight, creating an almost timeless GDR-era scene on Friday 6th March 2026. This is the only locomotive of its class that has been preserved in operational condition and is still largely in its original Reichsbahn condition as when first built in 1921 by the Maschinenbaugesellschaft Karlsruhe.

Great condition for it's age! I don't think I've ever seen one in this colour either?
