I have driven by this house hundreds of times and always found it to be compelling. The paint has fallen off, but it looks amazingly structurally sound! I would have made an image of it before, but there was always two cars parked in front of it. Today there were no cars and I parked on the road and made several images.
The people here have a Christmas wreath on the back door and a large candy cane just to left of the back porch. I really would like to know the history of this house.
I used Aperture 3 and NIK Software to develop this image.

Devon Energy Hall fulfilled the OU Gallogly College of Engineering’s basic need for offices, classrooms, technology laboratories, and an experience-based learning laboratory. The building design was driven by a new engineering curriculum that emphasizes team-based and hands-on learning. The building itself is an experiment in physical learning and an opportunity to put engineering on display; more visible and accessible to students, faculty, and the larger community.
Another photograph from my walk around a location this newly discovered location (new that is, for me).
Don't know how many times I've driven past this place and never knew it was here, although that might be because it's behind Durham's high security prison, HMP Frankland. It's surrounded by trees too, so it's well and truly hidden.
I had driven some 6 1/2 hours to get to Steptoe Butte and the sublime Palouse Hills and was mildly disappointed to find the air saturated with a heavy haze that strongly diffused the golden hour light. I was concerned that it would defeat my best efforts at manual focus and that the gusty breeze buffeting my tripod would finish off whatever detail might remain.
Magically, what I got was "painterly" with enough retained detail to show I was not being lazy and that my gear was competent.
PADDY: “Scout! Bogart! Rosie!” *Looks around.* “Where are you?”
SCOUT: “Paddy! Paddy!” *Distant.*
*BEEP! BEEP!*
PADDY: “Scout! Scout is that you?”
SCOUT: “Yes! It’s me!” *BEEP! BEEP!* “Rosie, Bogart and me!” *BEEP! BEEP!* “We’re over here!”
PADDY: “Where?”
SCOUT: “Follow the sound of the horn, Paddy! Come and see!” *BEEP! BEEEEP!*
PADDY: *Follows sound of horn honking down the footpath.* “Goodness Scout! You’re in a camper van!”
SCOUT: “Hullo Paddy!” *Leans out of window. And waves enthusiastically.* “I know! And look! It’s pink! My favourite colour! Isn’t it glamorous?” *Strokes camper van’s door lovingly with paw.*
PADDY: “Goodness yes, Scout! It’s very striking!”
BOGART: “And it’s American too!” *Smiles.*
PADDY: “Oh! Hullo Bogart!” *Waves to Bogart.*
BOGART: “Hullo Paddy!” *Waves to Paddy from the passenger seat.*
PADDY: “How do you know its American, Bogart?”
BOGART: “Because the driver sits on the left-hand side!”
SCOUT: *Beeps horn. BEEP! BEEP!*
BOGART: “It’s very comfortable in here.” *Shuffles bottom on seat.*
PADDY: “But where did the campervan come from, Scout and Bogart?”
SCOUT: “Well, since your magic didn’t turn my pumpkin into a Scoutarella coach, Paddy...”
PADDY: “Well, I never actually said I had any magic, Scout.”
SCOUT: “Well, evidently the faeries were listening and they took pity on me, and provided this wonderful pink camper van for us. It was just sitting here under the tree, waiting to be driven.”
PADDY: “But Scout! You don’t know how to drive!” *Alarmed.*
SCOUT: *Oh Paddy!” *Giggles.* “Don’t worry! I will get some help from Daddy. I’ll tell him where to direct the camper van, and he can push it!”
BOGART: “That way we get the best of both worlds, Paddy! We can feel like we are driving, whilst being driven.” *Giggles.* "Think of it like an auto-pilot."
SCOUT: “Why don’t you get in the back with Rosie, Paddy? She is exploring the living areas of the camper van. Apparently, there is a stove, and even a refrigerator!”
BOGART: “Hopefully the faeries continue to provide, and there is food inside it! Grumbly tummy! Paddy! Grumbly tummy!” *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
SCOUT: “Grumbly tummy! Paddy! Grumbly tummy!” *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
Imagine the delight of Paddy, Scout, Bogart and Rosie when, whilst on a walk with me the other day, they came across a Barbie Dream Camper Van from 2017, left out on the footpath along with some other toys for anyone… or anybear to take! Recycling at its best!
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.
Photoshoot: Aston Martin DB9, in coöperation with Van Zuijlen Auto's
I recently shot this car and therefore got to drive it almost all day, and I loved it!
I was really impressed by the performance of the car, due to it's subtle and elegant lines.
She's such a beauty, but like the owner told me when I picked up the car: "She drives like a dragon, especially when she's cold."
I know the car has a V12 engine that puts out 470HP, but it still impresses me how mean this car sounds as you start it up, while she looks so classy.
The attention you get is not what I expected at all, I've driven the LP670 SV and that's a screamer so I had expected to be rather discreet in this car but she turned out to be quite a neck-twister aswell. I had a blast driving and shooting this car, so you'll be seeing more of this shoot soon.

It took two and a half hours to get this one and only shot after the sun failed to shine at just the right time. However, it shone for just the right train as TXL 193 553 "Responsibility Driven" leads 189 932 on DGS 40561 Padborg - Verona Q.E as it passes Aßling with a consist that includes Lauritzen, "Bech-Hansen & Studsgaard", DSV, Arcese, N&K Spedition, Blue Water and "Nagel Group" piggypacks in tow

The bones of an old and twisted tree washed ashore some time ago, and are in the process of being whipped by wind-driven sand. The turbulent sea has stripped the wood smooth, and only remnants of bark remain. Now, pushed high against the dunes, the sun, wind and sand continue sculpting this ever-changing landscape.
I was privileged to have some beautiful early morning sun on a beautiful untouched beach.
My submission to "Your Best Shot 2017"
I chose this photo from very early in the year. It was not an easy day for shooting because the wind was howling and temperatures were very low. I loved the light, and the sand whipping by the driftwood, catching the light in motion, makes me keep coming back to this photo as my choice for this year's submission.

Having got lucky at the weekend looking for misty conditions, I headed up to Kewswick and Latrigg Fell yesterday hoping for some more, but didn't really get what I was after - the thin bit of mist there was didn't have around for long (having driven home past Grasmere, I realised I should have gone there as it looked glorious but unfortunately I didn't have time to stop).
There wasn't much happening in the sky either, though I quite like how the sun has illuminated the tree in this, especially set against the still-in-shadow land in the background.
The Gefion Fountain is a large fountain on the harbour front in Copenhagen, Denmark. It features a large-scale group of animal figures being driven by the Norse goddess Gefjun. It is located in Nordre Toldbod area next to Kastellet and immediately south of Langelinie. It is the largest monument in Copenhagen and used as a wishing well.

Light and colour can sometimes make you stop and take pictures even when you really should be heading to where you are supposed to be.
Mylea has about 3 jobs, college, she's always planning photo shoots, and I'm pretty sure she's one of those vigilante super heroes at night too. I've never seen someone so dedicated to never sitting still for a minute, and it reminds me how monumentally lazy I am. I'm cool with that (I'm gonna take a nap after I finish writing this), but it's very impressive to see.
Hopefully she can keep it up, make her dreams come true (she wants to be a model professionally, so you should hire her). Hopefully she gets what she's working for, and what she's working for is what she wants.
Driven by what looked to Grinelda like a supernatural intelligence, Luna busied herself, twisting dials here and adjusting settings there. An hour later she paused and breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s done!” she said.
“You are truly amazing.” replied Grinelda.
Far above them, the lights of Moon City stabilised, the wild sparks subsided, and everything returned to normal.
“And now, I do believe it’s time to celebrate,” continued Grinelda.
“What would you like to do?” asked Luna.
“Let’s go on a shopping spree!”
Luna laughed, relieved that the emergency was over and grateful for the chance to unwind. "That sounds like a great idea!" she said.
Grinelda led Luna out of the control room and into the narrow side streets.
“Everything looks so much cosier now the lights are back.” said Luna.

Arriva Buses Wales VDL Pulsar 2660 - CX07 CUY hurries through Bodelwyddan on route 13 to Prestatyn. The solitary passenger has the bus to herself, almost undoubtedly the net result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Die Nordschleife des Nürburgring, auch „Grüne Hölle“ genannt, ist eine der legendärsten Motorsport-Rennstrecken der Welt. Bis Anfang der 80er Jahre wurden hier noch Formel-1-Rennen ausgetragen, heute nur noch Rennen im Rahmen der DTM. Die knapp 21 km lange Strecke kann man zu bestimmten Zeiten mit seinem privaten PKW befahren, man kann aber auch als Beifahrer in einem sogenannten Ringtaxi (hier Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) - 525 PS) in rund 10 Minuten die Strecke „absolvieren“. Oft sind die Ringtaxis Sportwagen mit 500+ PS, gefahren von lizensierten Rennfahrern.
Aber auch so kann man hier seinen Spaß haben. Es gibt hier entlang einer Bundesstraße große, kostenlose Parkplätze (z.B. "Brünnchen"). Da parkt man 30 m neben der Rennstrecke und hinter einem Zaun, nur 10 von der Strecke entfernt kann man dann Renntaxis, Sportwagen bei Reifentests oder einfach wilde Draufgänger mit ihren aufgemotzten Karren bei den sogenannten Touristenfahrten beobachten. In jedem Fall ist hier Spaß garantiert !

The Nordschleife of the Nürburgring, also known as the "Green Hell", is one of the most legendary motorsport race tracks in the world. Formula 1 races were held here until the early 1980s, but today only races are held as part of the DTM. The almost 21 km long track can be driven in your private car at certain times, but you can also "complete" the track as a passenger in a so-called ring taxi (here Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) - 525 PS) in around 10 minutes. The ring taxis are often sports cars with 500+ HP, driven by licensed racing drivers.
But you can still have fun here. There are large, free parking spaces along a federal highway. You park 30 m next to the race track and behind a fence, just 10 m from the track, you can watch racing taxis, sports cars doing tire tests or simply wild daredevils with their souped-up cars on so-called tourist rides. In any case, fun is guaranteed here!

The infamous Liberty Walk Lamborghini Aventador shot in Las Vegas during SEMA 2014 for Forgiato Wheels.
I have driven down Chancery Lane many times, but have never really noticed the view of the Eureka Tower from there. I love the juxtaposition of old and new architecture.
Revisiting some photos from April 8 using a different photo editing app. This image shows a "spring time" sunrise over farm fields and a backroad near Regina. The snow was flowing over the fields, driven by strong winds. I took this from inside my car because the wind made the -8 temperature uncomfortably cold.
At a vintage ploughing event in October 2022 near to Doncaster in the UK, a Ford 2000 tractor driven by a very determined looking ploughman heads up the slight incline in this competition event.
Driven by this iconic structure many many times, crossed it on the train half a dozen times and today for the first time was lucky enough to reach the highest point on the Fife cantilever. Just magic.
What seems a hundred years ago when I was in my first year of my apprenticeship the journeyman I was working with asked me to go down to the stores to get a golden rivet for the final rivet of our plating job. Ofcourse the storeman was in on the wind up. Well at least I never fell for being sent for left handed screwdriver or a tin of tartan paint!
