I must confess to some disappointment with Dungeness, maybe that’s why this image has sat around on my hard disk for months, unloved and ignored.
Having seen many great images of abandoned shacks and tumble down structures from this locale I was surprised to find only this solitary hut, or what was left of it. Chatting to a local fisherman he said most of the old huts had fallen down during a winter storm a couple of years ago. There were a handful of old neglected boats but I struggled with compositions, and the boats themselves weren’t exactly what I had hoped for.
Dungeness is an interesting location, apparently classified as Britain’s only desert, and there is also a huge nuclear power station and lighthouse nearby. Should be a photographer’s dream, and If you haven’t been there is worth a visit for its uniqueness in the UK, but while it could be because of my ineptitude, I wouldn’t hold out too many hopes of finding a great composition.
Anyway, I thought it was high time that I posted my solitary half decent shot from this location.
More Cornwall, I love these old Engine houses wihich pepper the landscape there. This is atop Bodmin Moor at Minories.
After hanging about this spot for a couple of hours with my workshop participants, watching the light play across the mountains, a moment of drama arrived for the shot I had in mind. Canon 5DMkII, 50mm 1.4

Heading out from the Grand Canyon there are several parking areas where there is usually a tribal vendor or two and then there are some boulders or concreate blocks to stop idiots driving to the canyon edges. So after going pass the parking area I had to walk a couple hundred meters down to this gravel road to a local canyon edge. I guess they don't bodies from some fools out to earn their Darwin awards falling over the edge as I am sure the fire ants, ravens, crows and vultures will make quick work of their splattered remains.

It's official ... both of my grandchildren, who have been with me since their birth, are gone from my home. My daughter Julie bought a condo and she and Andrew moved out today ... There are just no words for me right now.
What a change! From White Cliffs I drove out to Peery "Lake" - a world renowned haven for bird life - when there's water in the "lake". Dry as a bone in this image. This is because Peery is part of the Paroo River catchment, which unlike the Darling, has largely escaped soaking rains. The landscape colours are enchanting.

Fog, relic signals and end cab switchers on Halloween night. Can't think of a better combination.
IHB job 118 awaits a favorable signal to head back to Michigan Avenue Yard and end their day.
My first attempt at frozen soap bubbles ... really hard to keep them from popping ... and your fingers from freezing at -5° below zero
