Orford Castle aerial view - Suffolk
Built by Henry II between 1165–1173, Orford Castle was designed to assert royal power in East Anglia, countering the influence of the Bigod family. Its distinctive polygonal keep, with three clasping towers, remains one of the most complete and unusual keeps in England. Once a royal stronghold, it later passed to the Uffords and other noble families, and by the 16th century much of the outer bailey had been dismantled.
The keep was preserved as a landmark for shipping, restored in the 19th century, and gifted to the Orford Town Trust in 1928. It came under state care in 1962 and is now managed by English Heritage.
Between 2022 and 2023 a £1 million conservation project was carried out after more than a decade of research. The castle’s walls, built largely from fragile local mudstone (septaria), had been eroding badly. To halt further decay, specialists applied a protective lime render across more than 400 m² of wall surface, using some 24 tonnes of material. Additional repairs included work to the roof, drainage, stone dressings and timber windows.
The project, completed in late 2022, has stabilised the structure and given the castle renewed protection against the coastal climate
Visitors can explore from basement to roof, with displays from the Orford Museum Trust inside. Famous locally is the legend of the “Wild Man of Orford,” a mysterious hairy figure said to have been captured here in the 12th century.
Layers! Ogres have them. Deserts have them. In this case the harder stony layer on top protected the sandier striped layers beneath until the sand had eroded so much, the harder layer of rock began to break down and roll to the bottom of the striped hills.
Looking at archive shots to consider a shoot location for this weekend. Depending on conditions, I may give this one a shot.
Is there a finer way to celebrate the longest day of the year than this. Special gratitude for my buddy @valentinovalkaj for performing the perfect loop 😉

WOERDEN - Vanwege een groot aantal werkzaamheden tijdens Hemelvaart en het weekend daarna reed de serie 4000 (Sprinter Uitgeest-Rottedam) slechts tussen Amsterdam en Woerden. Hierbij werd de trein gekeerd op het keerspoor bij Molenvliet. Daarmee was het voor zover mij bekend de eerste keer dat er DDM-1 planmatig aan deze kant van Woerden te zien was.
Hier zien we vanaf zo'n 30 meter hoogte loc 1778 met DDM-1 stam 7202 "Ooievaar" vertrekken van het keerspoor bij Molenvliet als 804046 om vanaf het station van Woerden door te rijden als sprinter 4046 naar Amsterdam.
Gail Falls, also known as Eric's Falls, in Washington State in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, located on the Cispus River between Cat Creek and Adams Creek where NF-21 rises above the river and the forest obscures the view.

Display lot of the Texas Corvette Car show. Many more cars parked on the streets. The driver's all drove the cars at the F1 Circuit of the Americas track (COTA).
I’ve been absent the last couple weeks due to a lot going on at work. Just popping in to bring a little peace amid all of the turmoil going on out there. I hope you get a moment of stillness at some point today.
St. Michael Lake, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington State. I thought the pattern on the melting ice was pretty neat.

Sneaking in another lake shot. I promise this isn’t digital trickery. The lake really was that calm.
Schloss Kapfenburg liegt im Ostalbkreis auf einer Bergnase des Albtraufs, 130 m über der Stadt Lauchheim.
Der Name „Kapfenburg" leitet sich vom mittelalterlichen Begriff „kapfen" („gaffen", „ins Land schauen") ab.
Nach dem Untergang der Staufer übernahmen die Grafen von Oettingen und ihre Lehnsherren, die Herren von Gromberg, einen Großteil der Ländereien um die Kapfenburg. 1364 erwarb das Deutschordenshaus Mergentheim das Schloss. Es war die letzte Kommendengründung des Ordens im süddeutschen Raum. Der Ordensstaat in Preußen und die Ordenshäuser im Reich lebten sich bereits auseinander. So gibt Schloss Kapfenburg vor allem Zeugnis über eine kleine geistlich-ritterliche Residenz des späten Mittelalters und der frühen Neuzeit.
In der Rheinbundakte von 1806 hob Napoleon den Deutschen Orden auf und sprach die Kapfenburg König Friedrich von Württemberg zu. Seither ist sie im Besitz des Landes. Die Kapfenburg wurde nie zerstört. Entsprechend dem Funktionswandel von der Wehrburg zum Wohnschloss mit Verwaltungssitz wurde sie durch Um- und Anbauten zu einem eigenwilligen baulichen Ensemble, welches Baustile ganz unterschiedlicher Epochen in sich vereint.
Seit Oktober 1999 hat die Internationale Musikschulakademie Kulturzentrum Schloss Kapfenburg ihren Sitz in den Mauern der ehemaligen Deutschordensfeste. Schloss Kapfenburg ist dadurch für viele Menschen aus dem In- und Ausland ein Ort der Begegnung und des musikalischen und kreativen Schaffens geworden.
There were lots of people out enjoying the canyon and the colors. This father and his sons were taking a bike ride through a tunnel of color.
Drove out to the Kovalam fishing hamlet in Chennai over the weekend to shoot and couldn’t help but be amazed by the hustle.
It’s the commercial port for the night fleet fishermen who start bringing in their catch at dawn.
The boats hit the shore and the catch is brought in and sold from the smaller boats that you see in the image. Buyers make a bid on the catch. It was very interesting to watch an auction in a fish market.
"The Blue Danube" is the common English title of "An der schönen blauen Donau", Op. 314, a well known waltz by the Austrian composer Johann Strauss. This waltz is above the Leopoldsberg, overlooking Vienna's nothern districts, bridges and the Danube.
Vue du ciel, sur un rond-point africain, cette scène paraît presque irréelle, qui ressemble à un ballet urbain figé sur ces routes sans marquage. L’Afrique a ce talent unique de mêler le chaos et la poésie, même dans les accidents.
The last light of a late December day falls on the rugged southern face of Ben Hiant, which was hewn by a glacier from the flank of a large volcano formed around 60 million years ago.
Another gray, rainy day here in Salt Lake City. Mentally, I’m ready for warm summer evenings in the mountains. How about you?
