Coronach, Saskatchewan, Canada
In 1987 The Coronach & district museum was established when the town of Coronach and the RM of Hart Butte #11 purchased a large collection of pieces from a local estate. In 1997 the museum moved into the original hospital. The museum is kept up by a group of volunteers and has been displayed in a way that honours the pioneers of the area since the early 1900’s. Each original hospital room has been set up as a themed room, including a hospital room, school, communications, store, parlour, library, town office, bedroom, kitchen, toy room, church, sewing & textiles and bathroom
This is the Dark Peak; the northern moorland section of the Peak District and quite different from the limestone White Peak to the south. This is another photograph I took on one of my bike rides this weekend, being without car. The heather is in full bloom in early August and this area in the foreground is not burnt for the benefit of grouse shooters, so looks particularly beautiful. The hills in the distance are intensively managed grouse moors so look more like an unnatural chessboard. The photograph was taken at about 7am and you can see the morning mist just rising off the distant hills.
Schenectady's historic Stockade District gets its name from the protective stockade Dutch settlers built here in 1661 to protect their small settlement. Today the neighborhood is a historic district that contains more than 40 homes built before the Revolutionary War.

The Pennine Way, starts in The Peak District, near Edale. In total there are over 2,000km of public footpaths and over 100km of cycling trails in the National Park. Edale is in fact the common name given to the whole valley. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Aidele, but the settlements along the valley bottom are now called Booths which is a term that came along in the 16th and 17th centuries when foresters and boothmen built shelters for their cattle and sheep. A booth was an enclosure rented from the Crown where a herdsman or settler could protect his stock from wolves. The shelters expanded to permanent dwellings and now form the hamlets.

The view of Singapore Central Business District also known as the Marina Bay Financial Center. It is the core of Singapore's financial activities and thus financial buildings of well known banking institutes are easily spotted at this area. To name a few, they are the UOB Plaza building, HSBC Building and also the Maybank building.
This area is known to be more densely packed than other parts of Singapore. In order to accomodate the densed population and inhabitors, a great number of train network are concentrated in this area.

This is an HDR version of a little picture of the temple district. The HDR system brings out some details in the background that I could not get to appear in any single image regardless of the fog settings. I find that I can't get any closer without the nearest forms breaking up and disappearing. In the original preview all the top tassels were bright read bundles of many lines leading straight up, but they do not render except that they are much like one of the ghostly images in the background.
(One good example of me losing out by not using some sort of grad filter. Towards the light which isn't good ).
Mellbreak at Crummock Water glows orange and mauve as the sun passes by the valley that holds Scale Force beyond the High Stile Range. This is from the Head of Buttermere. I can see where William Heaton Cooper got his fell colours from.!
This is the FAMOUS February 2008 ! Great for reflections.
I heard a thud...and there it was on my doormat, my new book had arrived. The Peak district boundary walk is a 190 mile walk around the edge of the national park..At our slow pace it should take us a year to walk [ in sections]...No hurry....Roll on next sunday, when we can get started.
An unusual purchase for a NBC company is this Willowbrook bodied Dennis Dominator of Maidstone & District, 5303 (FKM 303V). It is part of a batch of buses ordered for comparison with the MCW Metrobus. It is approaching journeys end at Chatham Bus Station.
I do so love getting out in the Peak District and exploring its hidden gems even though it means a long walk in wellies before immersing myself in the river.

You come to the Lake District for atmospheric landscapes, dramatic skies, sunsets and sunrises... what do I get... we are on our fifth day of wall to wall sunshine... not a cloud in the sky... the air has been so clear that there has been zero morning or evening colour... the sun so bright distant landscapes have faded into a haze.... only a photographer would complain.... aaaaagh.

I took this image two weeks ago, but it feels like it was a year from now. January felt like an extremely long month and was very unproductive when it comes to photography.
Perhaps it’s always like that at the start of the year when it’s pretty poor weather and, for some reason, a busy time both at work and personally. Either way, we’re into February already and I have been out for one real photo session which was my trip to New York, and I should really try and do another before I head over to Ireland in a few weeks.
As has been the case quite a bit recently, this is a shot of the Flatiron building in New York. I stood on this spot a few years ago with my 24-70mm and had to shoot in portrait orientation; even then I missed out the bottom of the building.
Not so with the 14mm, where I was finally able to get the whole building in view, and then some.
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
