Both the windmill and the lenticular cloud are driven by the wind! Taken along the Sage Trail City of Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks.
I've driven by this house and photographed it many times but never on the eve of Halloween. It's always intrigued me as one could easily get a feeling of being watched from the windows. Most abandoned places like this seem to deteriorate pretty fast but the windows remain unbroken and it's remained untouched for as long as I can remember. Even the cattle, free to roam the property, never seem to venture near it. Kind of makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Do you see it too?

Driven to Tears - The Police
Lexington Lab Band version
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKox6Y7QjdI
How can you say that your not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction?
What should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands,
shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced
To a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocents die
All we can offer them
is a page in a some magazine
Too many cam'ras and not enough food
Cause this is what we've seen
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Protest is futile
Nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world?
Who knows what to do?
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Rounding up a herd of young steers for participation in a team roping event. The steers wear protective headgear so that when they are lassoed the skin surrounding their horns won't be damaged. The cowboys and/or cowgirls work in teams of two on horses. One lassoes the horns of a released steer, and the other the back leg(s). The ropers are timed how fast they can perform this skill, which originated on open range ranches. The ropers often miss the steer and it "gets away." Even if it is successfully roped, the steer is immediately released to return to its herd.
I drive past this massive old barn nearly every day. Day, night, winter, summer, through an endless variety of sky, could and lighting conditions. Unlike places you visit only once, such as when traveling, I tend to hold off photographing local places until conditions are perfect. Such was the case recently; the sky was heavy with thick, textured layers of clouds. I wandered out into the meadow to a vantage point near the barn. But now that I was finally here, I found myself oddly disinterested in the barn itself. Yes it was cool, but I was profoundly taken with the sensation that comes with being out in open country like this. Particularly large expanses of farm fields. The wind was sweeping across the field, blowing the grass in very distinct waves. I could actually visualize the movement of wind. I took many photos, but decided it best to allow the barn to recede a bit and let the grass dominate the foreground. It's all about scale and trying to capture how it felt to be standing here.
Newphe Mainstore Release | Top + Shorts | HUD Driven Fatpack
🌹 I wore Sofia like I had stopped by the café for something innocent and somehow became the most dangerous item on the menu.
The room had that perfect little morning-after mood: stone walls, worn wood counters, chalkboard specials, coffee tins, polished jars, old mirrors, and enough sunlight slipping through the side garden to make everything feel privately staged. I was standing there with a coffee stirrer between my fingers, my glasses catching the light, the framed Newphe illustration watching from the wall like a fashion sketch that had decided to keep receipts.
Sofia by Newphe is a sweet two-piece with just enough mischief sewn into its seams. The top is cropped and fitted, with slim shoulder straps, soft gathering through the bust, and that tiny center notch detail that gives the neckline a playful little bite. It frames the body in a casual, feminine way without feeling overworked, letting the shape stay clean, simple, and confidently wearable.
❤️ The shorts bring the balance. They sit close and smooth, short enough to feel flirty, but soft enough to keep the look relaxed. The contrast trim gives the outfit a finished edge, especially when styled in this deep red and dark chocolate combination. It feels like café romance with a little downtown attitude — sweet at first glance, but not nearly as innocent once the second espresso arrives.
What I love about Sofia is how easy she is to understand. She does not need drama to be noticed. The proportions do the work: cropped top, fitted waist, short shorts, clean lines, and a body-conscious silhouette that feels modern without losing its softness. It is the kind of outfit that lets accessories, tattoos, hair, nails, and attitude all have their moment.
✨ Fashion history is tucked into the look in the prettiest way. There is a little 1950s playwear influence in the matched top-and-shorts idea, a touch of 1970s casual summer ease in the soft cropped silhouette, and a clear Y2K reference in the fitted cami shape and low, confident styling. Newphe turns those influences into something current, polished, and perfectly made for a Second Life girl who knows that casual does not have to mean forgettable.
The background gave Sofia her story. She was not walking a runway; she was stealing attention in a quiet café corner, somewhere between the sweets menu and the chalkboard promise of coffee. The outfit felt like the sort of thing I would wear when I planned to be relaxed, then remembered that relaxed can still be devastating.

The staircase is relatively moderate in terms of the height of the steps and the distance between them.
I wanted to show a little boy that you can ride down there at a leisurely pace.
So I got on my bike at the top and had a firm grip on the brakes so that I didn't go too fast.
However, I had misjudged things a little, as the wheels didn't have any contact with the ground as I was going downhill, so I ended up going faster than I initially thought.
I had already seen myself falling, but just as I reached the bottom I was able to come to a halt without crashing my bike.
I was lucky.
Overconfidence is rarely good and can end quite badly with broken bones in old age.

The medium format 120 film gives plenty of resolution and scope for cropping the square format of the 6x6 negative.
I've driven past this place between Benton City and Prosser, Washington numerous times and finally decided to stop by. What's crazy is that looking back at both Google and Bing street views, this was a fully functional business as recently as 2015. Shot with infrared-converted Sony a6000 (590nm).

~ HUD driven
~ rigged for: reborn (waifu&juicy rolls), legacy, and lara x
Come here during the day and this area is awash with visitors, a plethora of selfie sticks and smiling faces- if you’re under 20 and want a picture of yourself with giant bunny ears and whiskers to post on social media against an iconic Californian backdrop, then this is definitely the location for you.But if you come here at either end of the day when the beach is practically deserted and the bridge lights are on, there is a completely different feel about it. And the few people that are still around are generally way more interesting.
It was here I met Santiago, sitting propped up in an old canvas chair, two wooden stakes driven into the sand on either side of him like markers of his own tiny kingdom. His grey beard was lit by the glow of a small camp fire and two dogs, each no larger than one of my cats were curled up by his feet. A pair of battered brown shoes sat near him along with a plastic carrier of sorts and a thin line of smoke curled from the fingers of his left hand as he looked out over the water. At first, I was slightly wary- I’d just taken a series of images including this one and was moving further along the shoreline to try a different angle, which meant that I passed close by him. His dogs stirred lazily at the sound of my feet and as I came within a few metres, I got to see him slightly better- he was maybe in his 60s with a deeply lined face and a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes. Framed by the bridge and lit by the embers of his fire, he presented an incredible sight and so I set up to shoot with him in the foreground. Some of you have seen these images but I haven’t posted them here yet. After a few frames, I approached him and showed him the pictures, offering to delete them if he wasn’t comfortable. Turning his head, he motioned for me to sit on the sand in the half light and drawing on his cigarette asked my name.
There are moments in life which stay with you for a long time. For an hour we talked, sat in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge by his camp fire. He told me that he had retired from his business which he’d built up over the course of a lifetime and was spending a year travelling - sleeping on beaches until he was moved on. He explained that he’d had a good life – lucky in many ways- but had always yearned for freedom and adventure, things that running a business and supporting his family had not allowed. This was his time, he said.
And so, this image is for Santiago, wherever he is now. For an unexpected friendship and for his parting words as I left
“Bridges. You can never be sure whether to cross them again or burn them”
He will only access his email again in the Spring and if he allows, I’ll post his image here.
I have driven by this ruined farm many times, hoping for the right light and the time to photograph it. Dawn, minutes after the sun had risen, was pretty good.
We have been waiting for the elk to appear, driven downslope from the Olympic Mountains by Winter to find forage. We live inside protected elk habitat - no hunting here. And our slope happens to be one of their usual winter hangouts.
Saturday morning dawned bright and frigid. Early morning sunlight lured four apex bulls out of the cedars to warily browse. Our alert neighbor texted to alert us to their presence, but we were already face to glass, not daring to breathe.
The bulls stayed long enough to let us all get out cameras and snap a few frames. Then the double report of a duck hunter's shotgun burst through the still air. This biggest stag led the charge back to the shelter of the trees. The cows and calves have not yet appeared, but they will come soon, surely, as they have for many years.
My whole life feels like this now.
I feel driven by my dreams, driven by an overflowing love.
I never felt that confident before. It's a feeling that can keep me warm in the most unknown and cold places.
I could go everywhere. I'm not afraid anymore.
There are so many things to discover together.
Life and its adventures are ahead.
With you.
This is my last picture before a few days, maybe a few weeks.
On Tuesday, the 11th of November, I take the plane which will lead me to my new life in Finland, with him.
New city, new country, new language... and it already feels home.
Home is where your heart is.
See you soon xxx
With love,
Laura

Anyone who has driven on I 26 near the Asheville airport exit has probably seen the large planting of sunflowers and wildflowers. If you park at the rest stop, it is a short walk to the flowers. I spent almost 2 hours there and got so many great shots. More to come.
Thanks so much for looking.
Comments are so appreciated.

Der Zug hatte mit ca 1,5 Stunden Verspätung den Loreleytunnel durch fahren und passiert nun die markanten Felsen mit dem Aussichtstempel Leiselfeld nördlich dem Betriebsbahnhof Loreley.
Die schon lange anhaltenden Trockenheit hatte die Natur schon früh im Jahr ausgedöört und sorgt schon viel zu früh für eine fast herbstliche Laubfärbung.

Patience ?
- Set the camera with a wired shutter
- have a beer
- take a short nap, putting up a alarm at 3am.
- wake up, climb up the roof, stop exposure, check results *being satisfied*.
- Go to Bed *HAPPY*

Back in the 1960's the talks of a merger between Ford and Ferrari were taking place, but in the end the merger never materialized. Ford wanted a race car for events like Lemans and others, and a merger between they and Ferrari would have made that path much shorter, and easier to come by. When it became apparent that all bets were off between the two, and maybe for reasons attributed to nothing more than egos, it then was as though Ford, now more than ever, wanted to build a car and one directly targeted at Ferrari, and the story of the GT40 began. And, at the beginning, the story wasn't a smooth one. With only months to design, build, and test a car before the car's first planned race was going to be a monumental task! But Ford put a great team together to take on the challenge and they did meet that deadline. All were very enthusiastic, however, meeting a deadline was only part of the challenge...having a car, or cars that could be in the winner's circle at the end of the race was the real goal. Sadly, on their first time out they were met with mechanical failures, and once more it was back to the drawing boards and decisions on subtle exterior design changes, engine changes (289ci - 427ci) brakes, and gearbox changes were made. Now, let me move ahead to June of 1966, and the Lemans Race against the Ferraris, and what Ford was now hoping to be victorious in doing so.
As the day of the race drew closer, the Ford Le Mans Committee arrived to support the team. Henry Ford II had been named honorary chairman of the race and would serve as starter with his wife and son Edsel with him in tow. As the clock hit 4:00 PM on June 18th, Henry Ford II waved the starter flag and the drivers ran across the track to start their cars and the race. Ken Miles, who had the second fastest qualifying time after Gurney, had immediate issues as the door struck his helmet and he had to quickly pit for repairs. The rest of the cars roared on with the Fords and Ferraris trading the lead through much of the early race. The crowds watched knowing that the Fords had often been the fastest cars but never completed the endurance race. After midnight, the tables began to turn. The Ferraris began to drop out with mechanical difficulties and while Ford had some withdrawals, the bulk of the team raced on and at one point held the 1-2-3-5-8 spots. By 4:00 AM, the last of the Ferraris was out of the race and the order went out for the teams to slow the pace to ensure the most cars could complete the race. The drivers slowed from the early pace of 3:30 per lap to a more strategic 3:50 per lap. Dan Gurney was in the lead most of the evening, with the Ken Miles and Bruce McLaren teams trading 2nd and 3rd place depending upon their pit stop order. When Gurney’s car went out with engine problems around 10:00AM, Ford still had the first three places between the Shelby American and Holman Moody teams.
With two hours left in the race, Leo Beebe and Carroll Shelby met to discuss the end of the race. With the Ford cars running 1-2-3, there was little question as to winning the race, but what order should the finish take? If Miles and McLaren continued their personal race, a malfunction such as the one Dan Gurney had at Sebring might occur. The team also discussed having the cars come across in a tie and inquired of the ACO (Le Mans race organizing committee) if that was permitted. The ACO agreed that this was possible and so the drivers (at this time Ken Miles and Bruce McLaren) were told the news at their next pit stop. While neither was thrilled with the decision, both acquiesced with Ken Miles saying “I work for the Ford Motor Company… if they want me to win the race, why, I’ll do it… and if they ask me to jump in a lake, why I’ll guess I will have to do that as well.”
Miles (who had just taken the lead during a McLaren pit stop) and McLaren began to slow down to allow the third car, driven by the Holman & Moody driver Dick Hutcherson to catch up. By this time, word had come back from the ACO that a tie would in fact not be permitted and since the Bruce McLaren team had started 8 meters further back from the start line it would have traveled further and would be declared the winner. The ACO ruling is a matter of some debate as there was nothing written in the sporting regulations from that year that accounted for the rules in the event of a tie.
The decision to notify the drivers of the change in ACO policy rested with Leo Beebe and Carroll Shelby. As the two conferred, there were a number of considerations. While Ken Miles had done the bulk of the race prep work on the Mark II to prepare it for competition since his first drive in February, 1965, Bruce McLaren had been with the program since its inception in 1963 and had always been a true team player driving at the assigned speed. Both drivers felt they could win in a race to the finish as neither had more than a lap or two lead during the second half of the race. Leo Beebe ultimately made the decision to not notify the drivers and let the dead heat occur, which would make the McLaren team the victor. Beebe later noted that “to have Ken win would have been more expedient and popular, but the extent to which McLaren and Amon had played exactly according to our rules mitigated against Miles. The result was not necessarily even popular with me.” Ultimately, Beebe felt that Ken Miles trying to push the Dan Gurney car at Sebring was a big enough strike against him to give the nod to the McLaren/Amon team.
During the final lap, the three Ford cars rode in tandem with Miles and McLaren crossing the finish line in a dead heat with Hutcherson close behind in 3rd place. Photos at the time appear to show McLaren surging ahead at the final moment, but the checkered flag is actually waved some distance from the final finish line, which was being monitored by newly installed IBM electronic time keeping devices. The photo finish was intact. As the cars approached the victory circle, Ken Miles and fellow driver Denny Hulme who hanging out of the passenger side door, were surprised when they were waved off to allow McLaren and Amon to the victory podium. Both were crestfallen when they learned of the changed ACO rule interpretation, but Ken Miles had the most to lose. He would have been the first driver to win Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans in the same year. In an interview a few months after the race he was philosophical, noting once again that he worked for Ford and would accept whatever outcome occurred.
This victory was a culmination of three years of engineering, design, and research to develop a winning car and winning team. Motorsport racing requires a combination of engineering, artistry and intuition from the drivers. With the Mark II all three elements were in play. Ford Motor Company engineering did tremendous work on the elements of the car and many were highlighted in papers to the Society of Automotive Engineers, while the stellar teams of Shelby American and Holman & Moody provided the artistry to turn the cars into unbeatable racing machines, and the drivers provided the vision and courage to navigate the difficult courses.

I had driven up the hill to use the VHF and Short wave radios in my car for an evening, when I saw this sun ray in the valley below, the great shame is I did not have my camera's with me only my phone :-(
Titterstone Clee Hill ,s a well know high spot for amateur radio use due to it's height and remoteness from interference found in all modern built up area's.
Lockdown has driven me to abstraction!
Lytham St Annes Photographic Society , of which I'm a member, has a monthly challenge (not a competition!) to encourage us members to push ourselves, try new things and - weather & lockdown permitting - get out and about with our cameras. The latest challenge was 'Patterns' & for various reasons I only came up with an image today, a couple of hours before the deadline. I decide to have a go at producing something abstract, testing both my compositional skills and my use of filters. It's not everyone's cup of tea (ha!ha!) but I quite like this image.
