I so wanted some decent photos of Red Squirrels but on our first visit it rained and was very dark amongst the trees. We popped back on our last day just as the sun was setting. I prefer not to photograph animals on feeders but this cheeky chappie was helping himself to the nuts and it was the only shot on offer!
Thank you to all who take the time to comment and/or fave, it is much appreciated.
It appears 2013 was a decent year for snow as it was already up to the rails in December. H-SUPNTW with their usual SD60M's and an SD70MAC trailing head for Northtown on the Hinckley Sub. It seems stupid now, but I hated when BNSF moved the headlight to the nose on the SD60M's that had it between the number boards, thus I ignored this train most days.

A belt. And one with a history. Originally, this belt had belonged to my mother (magrit k.), but when I was a teenager, she gave it to me, because she didn't wear it anymore, but I thought that it looked cool and also very much 1960s. Back then, I was totally obsessed with anything 1960s, especially music and fashion. And this blue leather belt, although from the 1970s, in my opinion, had (or rather: still has) the perfect swinging sixties vibe with its 5 cm/1,96 inches width, its nicely shaped buckle, and the large, punched holes. And those holes were the "problem". I simply couldn't wear it with its original style, because that belt was a low waist belt, but the dictate of fashion at the time I got it asked for a waistline almost under the chin. So I clumsily drilled some extra holes with a simple gimlet. Since the result, not entirely unexpectedly, looked ugly, I took the belt to a cobbler who did some decent punching work and also added the metal eyelets to the extra holes. I've been wearing this belt ever since, on and off, to this day.
The image is a focus stacking made of 15 photos. The in-camera stacking result looked good so I used the Jpg out of the camera and further processed it in Analog Efex. I've illuminated the scene from above and slightly from behind. To add some visual punch, I placed the belt against that red, transparent chocolate box lid which, as you know, usually serves as a colour filter. You can see how scratched that lid already is, so maybe it's time to buy a proper colour filter. On the other hand, I might simply buy another box of Mon Cherie chocolates to get a new "colour filter" – with the bonus of some extra chocolate pleasure ;)
HMM, Everyone!
On a decent day, this view across Gruinard Bay in Wester Ross rarely disappoints.
The scenery does all the hard work for you.
Many thanks as always for your welcome views and comments.
As is often the case it's worth looking behind you.....I was set up on another composition and happened to turn round. From my angle these 2 birches seemed to intertwine as if they were performing in front of a rather straight and stiff audience! Despite the lovely frosty conditions at the time, this was the first image of the day and the only decent one I made - funny how sometimes you just don't see things despite beautiful conditions!
“But our trip was different. It was a classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character. It was a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country-but only for those with true grit. And we were chock full of that.”
Inspired by the AMAZE film Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

Big thanks to Tristan for helping me out with this photo! How bomb is her look?!
Eastman Kodak No. 4 1897-99 rare and very old this camera was one of the first roll film models, it also will take glass plates, worn but overall decent shape, found in North Carolina.
Well I've been meaning to get up here this winter and it seemed a decent forecast, so after a dawn shoot and a couple of other locations in the Lakes I headed over to Dufton, near Appleby and went for it.
It was good walk all the way up to the head of this spectacular valley and it took me a good hour and a half to get to this point. On the way up I saw two men speeding down the Pennine Way and said good afternoon to both of them, but they had their heads down like they were somewhere else and resolutely moved on silently!
Anyway, after a 30 minute shoot up at the top in freezing conditions, I had a couple of decent pano's in the bag, as my 16-35 wasn't wide enough to get the full vista in. I set off back down and I was stopped twice on the way down, (which took me just under an hour), by two chaps who asked me if I was in the "Spine"?
I hadn't a clue what they were talking about and it wasn't until I got home later and watched the news that I saw there was an endurance "Montane Spine Race" on this stretch of the Pennine Way! So, I at least found out why my “backbone” was being questioned on my descent!
This is a spectacular glaciated "U" shaped Valley where the Great Whin Sill runs horizontally through this area creating sheer sides and some spectacular columnar rocks. I had hoped to stay here for sunset, but as you can see there was a bank of cloud in the West. So I managed this shot with the light before things closed in. Great day out all in all!

I had given up on anything decent for sunset as the fog was thick and grey. But just before sunset the horizon began to barely glow with a mauve'y pink tinge. I jumped for my camera and shot several long exposure images just in time. Five minutes later and the sky was back to grey.
I had a lot of photography planned for the weekend, I was going to visit a few places in Wales, and then a few in Dorset. But on Wednesday I was hit with a rather nasty bout of the lurgy and didn't have the energy to do anything. So I decided to have a few days rest and not venture out with the camera.
On my way home from Dorset yesterday I stopped at Portland hoping for a decent sunset. it was extremely windy and the sunset was pretty decent so I managed to get a few photos from the visit.
My first shot is of Pulpit Rock, an old favourite, as it's such fun watching the waves crash up here. We couldn't get down to the bottom level last night as we'd have gotten soaked, and there were people silly enough to be out on the rock when some huge waves were crashing over, so we sat higher up and tried our best to get a decent shot.

Man könnte es understatement nennen. Menschen machen gern auf "Dicke Hose". In der Natur ist das unnötig.
Even subtle can be attractive.
This shot was taken 5 months ago along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It shows the early stages of a cloud inversion, mist condensing into the lowest points, clouds rolling down the sides of mountains, eventually it will fill this whole area. I really do like the look, though I would have preferred a bit more light in the area. I stopped before the tunnel to Devils Courthouse to grab this shot after my shoot at graveyard fields. I decided to go with a small landscape, with a big sky in this composition, dark in the valley against a fiery sky above.

No filters this time, the light was fading so fast i didn't want to hassle with them.
CN 8003 leads westbound train 'A406' as they negotiate an S-Curve through the tree line. There wasn't much leeway for visibility. Turned out decent nonetheless.

NS 8104 leads train 820 as they descend the hill eastbound in Ellett, VA. Making their way into the Roanoke Valley.
I almost made a u-turn looking at the heavy cloud this morning. The waiting was paid off when decent morning sun appears between the cloud. Have a good weekend all.

On a visit to Las Vegas, I took night shots without ever thinking of stitching them into a panoramic shot. Recently, while looking through archival shots, I saw the potential to blend three shots into a single panorama, and artificial intelligence did the rest. Three uninteresting shots rescued to make a half decent nighttime panorama.
When a great grey owl attacks a prey animal from a low perch, it will tend to jump up and give a strong downward wingbeat to get a bit of elevation. They will fly out to be closer to the prey and begin to arc downwards, assuming a posture like this as they tip forward and do a steep dive onto their prey.
This pose also shows the size of their wings and tail relative to their body when the feathers are fanned out in slow, controlled flight.
There were no rodents harmed in the making of this photo. In fact, the owl missed on a few occasions while I watched it hunt.

56096 thrashes theough Joan Croft with 6S31 0635 Doncaster Up Decoy - Millerhill. This has been retimed into a later path for this week so with the decent forecast the alarm was set. Some gardening work will need to be done here soon. 24th May 2023.

With some decent rainfall a few days earlier, the Tall/Canada Goldenrods and Sawtooth Sunflowers are really doing well.
Taken a few days before the equinox, so not officially (astronomical) fall yet.
Such a lovely time to be outdoors!
We have tons of goldenrod growing nearby and I have always wanted to get a decent capture that showcases the weed. Wait a minute!! How did this character get into the scene? Sorry, but I just had to return and take some more shots of this herd before their departure, and there was some goldenrod included in the capture. He is an intimidating presence and when I am stand on ground that is at the same elevation as he is on, you get an idea of the size and presence of this impressive specimen. I never got the impression that he was a threat because he never lowered his head or made any type of threatening move toward me. I got the impression that he was just looking for food and checking out the curious character on the opposite side of the fence. He could have taken a swipe at me on a number of occasions if he would have wanted a piece of me, but always seemed to be very even tempered. I might add, that his attitude changed the minute that some feed was dropped into the trough some time later. It wasn’t my presence that concerned him, but the presence of any of the other cattle in the herd that came close while he was trying to feed. He’s not the largest bull in the herd, but he IS THE dominant male. Texas Longhorn Cattle photographed in the southern part of Harris County in Texas.
