Drive-by Shooters

Our 400+ miles drive home from Edinburgh yesterday was absolutely mesmerising thanks to first frost and a landscape that looked spectacular with its changed colours and the glorious light of the setting sun. There is something about a cold, sunny winter day in open landscape which always gets to me. I so love this furtive beauty.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
From the Monbijoustrasse. Escooters are everywhere. I keep making these panningshots and I still love them.
Cycling is the most normal way of transport in the Netherlands. Here is started to rain and this woman tried to protect her bags.

In answer to ET's Photo Home's question, in Canada, British Columbia's pine forests (e.g. as seen in the back left portion of this image) are currently being devastated by an unstoppable Mountain Pine Beetle infestation:
And so we say goodbye to not only December, but to the whole year.
It has been a year of so much turmoil, so much change and so much uncertainty and fear, that perhaps you feel like me, and are hoping for better things in 2026!
We can hope for better things, for calmer waters - but so much is beyond our control. Flickr has a way not only of helping me remember what day it is (Mono today I mutter, so it must be Thursday) but also something creative and beautiful that can light up the day. I guess I never thought about it - but it is in fact part of what keeps me optimistic, and sane! 😊
So here I raise my glass to all my fellow Flickr members who have given me such wonderful images to admire - and such kind comments to read! May we continue to flourish, as a corner of peace, beauty and creativity through the uncertain waters of 2026!
Again, many thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves.

This is what happens when a semi truck zooms though your long exposure shot, apparently!

Downtown Napa, CA. They had this summer cruising event and hundreds of cool cars were driving past. I shot at 1/50th second and panned as the car passed by.

I was bummed that I couldn't give chase to this one: endangered species SOO 6053 leading Norfolk Southern train 30T to Enola Yard. My only chance to grab the train came at the end of its journey as it pulled up to a stop signal at CP Wye, waiting north of Harrisburg on its turn into the yard across the river. Like a tourist I pulled up to the side of US 22/322, grabbed this quick frame from the car and away I went.

Thanks to daylight saving time, I can now take some shots in daylight after leaving work. This one was shot before the time change so all I could do was play around with long exposures.
74 second exposure with an ND3 filter. It wasn't quite night yet, and I wanted lots of streaky lights from cars going by without overexposing.

I fought with this one. It's actually a broad landscape with the barn, house, and a tree alive with color. I tried to incorporate the entire image, but I just wasn't feeling it.
So, I regrouped. Retextured. Textured some more. Added some brushes. Cursed. Started over. And then I was finally satisfied.
Phew!!
(Majority of the textures and the bird brush are from Distressed Jewell, but I did add one of my own textures to get that white border, to add the text like this had been stuck in the bottom of a box of memories, and to adjust the color just a bit...)
