One minute you can be bathed in full sunshine rushing to your next photo location then the next minute you can be swamped in low cloud spilling over the top of Whernside. . Such were the events surrounding Ribblehead Viaduct where I had decided to head for to bag a shot of the ECS from Skipton to Appleby Sidings.
Luckily the livery combination lent itself to a moody black and white interpretation of the scene.

X One of the downsides of photographing plants in my garden is trying to find a different image. I wanted to post a shot of an iris without being repetitive. I could not decide between a full flower or a detail. Opted for the latter as I think it show off the beard of the iris quite well .
The image is SOOC
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY

The Angel of the North is a very much photographed icon of the North East and is just 5 minutes from home for me. I've used a bit of tinkering to create an image that's quite different from the norm. :-)
Day 283/365
The catmint reminds me of lavender - I can't WAIT for the lavender to hurry up and grow... the only downside, the bumblebees!
Sasha had to sit, very still, while absolutely shivering inside because the bumblebees were literally inches away from her. Eeek!

Penstock - the downside.
London's most famous footway, at its everyday, effortless best, aged 170 years and counting.
Some people complain that there is no web footprint for London's best-kept secret.
But hold on a minute, what can they know of tunnels, who only tunnels know??
Barna Vígh, downside icepick taken for his Offline Magazine interview.
Camera info: Hasselblad 503CX w. Zeiss Planar 80mm at f4, Leaf Aptus 54s at ISO 100. Strobist info: Sunpak 622 Super Pro camera left at 1/4, Lumedyne Action Pack camera right at 200Ws.
In the English language, the term "upside down" is often used. So I will literally turn that on it's head and use "downside up"
More camera rotation faffery where the camera is rotated on it's lens axis during a single continuous photographic exposure. No Photoshop, no AI, only camera rotation.
The only real downside to this very interesting photo trip in Spain was that, after almost three weeks on the road, we were just as shot as the churches we visited! Of course, we had planned in advance so as to not have to re-pack and move to a different hotel every single day, but that had not always been possible, and Spain is a large country: even though we only went through a part of it and the accommodations were, most of the time, top-notch (we will always remember our two-night stay at a “pilgrims’ inn” on the Path to Compostela, the wholesome, heartwarming food and the awfully nice people), we had driven around quite a lot, unpacked and re-packed quite a lot, shot a lot as well (and that does require some concentration!), and we were a bit tired.
Therefore, and as a gesture of self-congratulation, I booked us for three nights into the best ocean-view room of the nicest hotel in a small coastal resort in the Pays Basque, about two dozen kilometers from the French border. There, we recovered from the fatigue of the trip, ate local fish, slept late and drove around for the absolute minimum distances required to see the surrounding sights. Knowing me, you know I had to take a few photos, and here they are.
I hope you enjoy this “Goodbye to Spain!” series.
The next morning’s low tide uncovered the slippery walkway built to access the small uninhabited island in front of the town. It was overcast that morning but the ocean breeze soon cleared up all the clouds!
The Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) is a swamp bird, preferring to breed in low-lying forests and wetlands, often over water. It is quite a streak brilliance in an otherwise gloomy swampland. A blaze of yellow flitting in shadows, as though it were a stolen ray of sunshine.
Once common in southern Canada, it is now considered an endangered species due primarily to habitat loss (it was once thought that fewer than 50 lived in Ontario). In the U.S., its numbers are still strong, but are also in decline. These striking birds--photographed here is a female, whose yellow head coloration is slightly less radiant than her mate's--are named for the Roman Catholic clerks who once wore hooded yellow robes.
The Fall color was on the downside.
After the retreat of the Wisconsin Glacier, the land that is now Herrick Lake Forest Preserve grew into prairies with scattered woodlands. For thousands of years, different groups of indigenous people passed through the area, some to hunt and move on, others to settle for varied periods of time. The last of these groups to call this land home was the Potawatomi, who had settled in the area by the late 1600s. Their well-traveled trails served as the basis for Butterfield and Warrenville roads.
In 1833, around the time of the Treaty of Chicago, which moved the Potawatomi west of the Mississippi River, Ira Herrick moved near the small settlement of Wheaton and built his homestead in a densely wooded parcel that surrounded a small marshy lake. This marked the beginning of the land’s agricultural period, which would last over 100 years. Old fencerows, woodlot edges and fields of European grasses still stand in Herrick Lake Forest Preserve as remnants of this era.
In 1925, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County purchased 90 acres of the original Herrick homestead. From the mid-1950s through the 1970s, additional scattered acquisitions expanded the preserve to 885 acres.
The downside of this location is that unless you arrive by boat, its a good 20 minute walk from either of the 3 ways to get here. So you have to forfeit a second shot should there be one.
The hugely impressive Basilica of St Gregory the Great or Downside Abbey as it is better known is a Benedictine monastery in Stratton-on-the-Fosse in Somerset. Building was started in the 19th Century and it was completed just after World War I. It has been described as "the most splendid demonstration of the renaissance of Roman Catholicism in England". Downside School, a Catholic school is attached on one side.
From the streets of Hallstatt one morning, I looked up at the looming houses and was rewarded with this site.
I love the architecture of this small town, and the surrounding trees and thick fog really gave the place such an atmosphere. It *almost* made up for the fact that the rest of the day was rained off, and I got very depressed.
Still, I got to play cards with Russell whilst watching the lake outside so, not all bad.
a downside to photography:
hmmm. that's really hard. because photography is the only thing that hardly ever frustrates me. i think it would be when your camera dies in the middle of a really well thought out photoshoot.
or when you get the perfect picture, but it's slightly out of focus, or too grainy.
hai guise.
busy week ahead.
SO! i just found out today that my good friend jessica got accepted into the modeling agency she had applied for only a month beforehand! i'm so happy for her, and i'm extra happy because the pictures she put up were some i put up of her!
