Walking back down the track after a disappointing, dismal , non productive walk towards Sty head and suddenly the sun burst through the cloud behind us for the first time that afternoon and we dived over the stile into the Lingmell beck and shot away for fifteen minutes .
It made the trip worthwhile after all.

It seemed fitting to post a sunset shot as my farewell to 2011. I hope all of my Flickr friends have had a wonderful holiday season, and I wish you all a happy and prosperous 2012!

Egypt - Luxor - الأقصر - al-Uqṣur - Ancient Thebes - Θῆβαι - Thēbai - طيبة - UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site on banks of river Nile - Sailing in Felucca (boat) in the evening time
A felucca is a sea-craft, made to a traditional design, with broad canvas sails. Essentially, the craft is reliant on wind-power with no motor, and are dependent upon the wind factor to propel forth, so itineraries are subject to change from time to time. The craft carries between 5-10 passengers comfortably and the deck is strewn with soft colorful cushions and rugs and equipped with a canopy that offers shade and protection from the elements.
Traveling down the Nile by felucca is a 'must-do' in Egypt. The sun setting across the Nile in the evening aboard a graceful felucca can't be beaten.

the world is full of complicated answers.
long explanations, soft evasions.
but sometimes, there is only a simple, direct question.
it hangs in the air, heavy and warm in the late sun.
it is not an accusation.
it is an examination.
and in the silence that follows,
in the steady, unflinching gaze,
the real truth is found.
In the hush of a moment, where shadows cradle silence,a young soul peers out — half-hidden, wholly seen.Eyes wide with wonder, fear, and tales untold, they glisten like twin lanterns in the night’s deep fold. Wrapped in a hooded cloak of solitude, he speaks without words, his gaze the only echo. Is it mystery, is it strength, or simply the poetry of being small in a vast, uncertain world?
This image captures the quiet drama of childhood introspection — a fleeting yet profound expression of emotion and mystery, lit by contrast and felt through the eyes.

Egypt - Cairo - القاهرة - al-Qāhira - Great Pyramids of Giza - UNESCO World Heritage Site - Famous last remaining monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
The pyramids of Giza are perhaps the only true rival to the Great Sphinx when one thinks of ancient Egypt and its architecture. The Valley of Giza -- with its wonderful monuments -- is truly a marvel of architectural prowess. The three largest pyramids located in the valley consist of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Kafhre and the Pyramid of Menkaura.
The Great Pyramid of Giza enjoys special status among the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World". None of the others have survived into the modern era. The construction, date, and possible symbolism of the Giza pyramids are still not entirely understood. This mystery only adds to the attractiveness of these ancient wonders and many modern people still regard Giza as a spiritual place. A number of fascinating theories have been offered to explain the "mystery of the pyramids".
Everytime I visit such a famous place like pyramids of Giza, I'm faced with a challenge that this place was photographed probably a trillion times and it is nearly impossible to come with something original. The day I visitted Giza valley rewarded me with some wonderful sky with clouds that created nice shadows passing over pyramids.

Did some more studio and outdoor portrait work last night at the Art Gallery of Burlington with models on both ends of the age scale!
Starting with a young ballerina who I had previously done portraits of, and finishing with a slightly older gentleman, who I opted for a close up grittier style with.

A case of being lucky enough to be in exactly the right place at the right time. Looking into Lunedale from Whistle Crag, a small hole appeared in the ominous-looking cloud cover and created a shaft of strong sunshine exactly onto Grassholme Dam.

Nafplion (Modern Greek: Ναύπλιο, Nafplio) or Nauplion (Greek: Ναύπλιων, Naupliōn) is a seaport town in the Peloponnese in Greece that has expanded up the hillsides near the north end of the Argolic Gulf. The town was the first capital of modern Greece, from 1829 to 1834. Nafplion is situated on the Argolic Gulf in the northeast Peloponnese. Most of the old town is on a peninsula jutting into the gulf; this peninsula forms a naturally protected bay that is enhanced by the addition of man-made moles. The area surrounding Nafplion has been inhabited since ancient times though little sign of this remains within the town. The town has been a stronghold at several times in history.
I still remember the morning I took this shot. I remember how much I wanted to stay in bed and enjoy lazy morning but as soon as I've seen the fog forming above the sea, I forced myself to go out. I had to find some point of interest and was pleased to find these wooden sticks in the water. Photography can sometimes be really demanding, especially for the morning shoot. Well no sleep tomorrow, already planning to go out at 3.45am for the morning blue hour (or blue 15 minutes here in Middle East)

Layers of warm light stretch across alpine ridges as the last sunbeams slide over the horizon.
The natural rock lines lead the eye directly toward the glowing sun, creating a strong sense of depth and direction.
Captured in the French Alps, this moment blends golden light, clean composition, and the silent power of mountain landscapes.

In my town there was fore casted terrible bad weather. So I took my camera and I was waiting for what was coming. Well it wasn't all that bad, but there was some beautiful lightning and I caught one.

The dramatic light continued for the rest of the day and I was largely focused on scouting out locations rather than doing much photography.
This, I couldn't pass up however. The light was really working it's magic on Grindslow Knoll, I got my foreground exposures taken (I always focus stack) and took a dozen or so shots of the background as the shape of the dappled highlights was in constant motion. I picked this one as my favourite. On another note, it really is that insanely green out on the Peak at the moment!
Captured in the timeless beauty of black and white, this photograph showcases the majestic rock formations of Zion National Park. The interplay of light and shadow casts dramatic lines across the textured landscape, inviting contemplation and wonder.
Here is one of those Texas roadside revivals that come straight out of the movies. I happened to get there around sunset, so there was nice dramatic lighting to complement the drama of the environs.
The place was totally empty. I got a little bit creeped out...and I felt like maybe I was being watched. I snapped a few quick shots and then made a hasty egress...

Some nice light around and some gaps in the cloud for the sun to break through as it dives slowly below the lake Taupo horizon.
This shot is part of my latest timelapse project, my best work to date, check it out here:
On remarque souvent la force dans son expression la plus visible.
Mais les véritables transformations naissent loin des regards.
Dans ce contre-jour, le corps devient presque une sculpture. Les détails disparaissent, laissant place à l'essentiel : les lignes, les volumes, la présence. Chaque muscle raconte une histoire faite de discipline, de patience et d'efforts répétés lorsque personne ne regarde.
Ce portrait ne parle pas seulement de puissance physique. Il évoque aussi la détermination, la persévérance et cette volonté discrète qui façonne les êtres autant que les corps.
Dans l'ombre, il ne reste plus qu'une silhouette.
Et pourtant, elle dit tout.
EN Strength is often noticed in its most visible form.
Yet true transformation happens far from the spotlight.
In this backlit portrait, the body becomes almost sculptural. Details fade away, leaving only what matters: lines, shapes, and presence. Every contour tells a story of discipline, patience, and countless hours of effort when no one was watching.
This portrait is not only about physical power. It is also about determination, perseverance, and the quiet resolve that shapes both character and body.
In the shadows, only a silhouette remains.
And yet, it says everything.
