... this is the lake in my other garden shots. A beautiful sunny morning ... a dusting of snow and some ice on the lake.
I pass up lots of these sorts of opportunities--they've become so cliche--but this one seemed to demand my attention. In fact, I shot it as a wider panorama; however, a little cloud conspired to thwart my efforts, as it caused a dark smudge on the next frame to the right that prevented it from blending properly.
So, I struggled with how best to crop what was left. Should I have followed the rule of thirds to achieve a perfect balance by cropping away some of that 'negative' space on the right? Or would that simply have destroyed that bit of tension that seems to draw you to the vast emptiness on the right? Such are the profound dilemmas facing the would-be minimalist photographer :- )
... the shadows lengthen on the fileds across the lake. The Charolais have come to drink at water's edge. The 3 drumlins opposite create the 'basket-of-eggs scenery typical of County Down.
Smith-Reiner Drumlin Prairie SNA
A blue but sometimes white with blue markings, 5-parted, 1 1/4" to 2 1/3" wide flower. Plant height: 8 to 20 inches.
A gorgeous showy native that may be limited remnant prairies.
Likes a sunny dryish habitat on prairies, in woods in limy, sandy soil.
Blooms Aug - Oct.
I visited Audubon's Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary today to photograph their many wonderful animals. This lovely cow was tempted by my offer of a burdock leaf and came over to pose for me.
I went to Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary today to photograph the foxes and other animals. This was taken through a chain-link fence, with my flash cranked up.
Somewhere between Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons are numerous sujects to photograph. I could spend as much time in these places as my major destinations. The drumlins are incredible and you are all alone. The Shoshone River is amazing and why Bill Hickok settled in Cody. There is just so much that is incredible in Wyoming and too little time.
A view from my front door. The gorse on the drumlin is being removed and replaced by grassland. All of the grass in the top half was covered in gorse last year. Why the pile of tyres? I notice in the middle distance that trees are being planted.

I visited Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary Yesterday, where they have a herd of sheep. The sheep are large, much bigger than the Shetlands at the farm where I work. I found them at lunch time, and they were enjoying their hay.
I visited Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary today to photograph farm animals and flowers. This monarch butterfly in the flower field was a pleasant surprise.
The tunnel ahead was taken right outside Lake Mills on the Glacial Drumlin bike trail in Wisconsin that stretches 52 miles from Cottage Grove to Waukesha, basically Madison to Milwaukee. The trial takes you through Cottage Grove, Deerfield, London, Lake Mills, Jefferson, Helenville, Sullivan, Dousman, Wales, and Waukesha.
Lola lives at Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary, and gave this nice head tilt before sauntering over for some pats.
A crisp morning. The neighbour's new fence is the first non-natural element but at least it is neat.
The inter-drumlin lake is frozen.
An amazing geological feature highlighted with snow dusting and low light in the Coire a Cheud Chnoic , halfway between Torridon and Kinlochewe in the Scottish Highlands.
I believe these are glacial moraine mounds (sometimes called drumlins). The white building is a bothy known as the Ling Hut.
My thanks to Barbara Jones who's images first drew my attention to this incredible location,
In der Zentralschweiz findet man diese Hügel, alle gekrönt von einem Lindenbaum. Der Sage nach hat sie der Teufel gemacht, nachdem er von den Bewohnern dieser Gegend um mehr Land gebeten wurde. Die Menschen merkten schnell, dass die Bewirtschaftung der Hügel sehr, mühsam und anstrengend war. Die Linden wurden daher gepflanzt, weil der Teufel eine grosse Abneigung gegen Kreuze und Lindenbäume hat.

The general term ice age or, more precisely, glacial age denotes a geological period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in an expansion of continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. There have been at least four major ice ages in the Earth's past. Outside these periods, the Earth seems to have been ice-free even in high latitudes. There is evidence that greenhouse gas levels fell at the start of ice ages and rose during the retreat of the ice sheets, but it is difficult to establish cause and effect. Greenhouse gas levels may also have been affected by other factors which have been proposed as causes of ice ages, such as the movement of continents and vulcanism. Although the last glacial period ended more than 8,000 years ago, its effects can still be felt today. For example, the moving ice carved out landscape in Canada, Greenland, northern Eurasia and Antarctica. The erratic boulders, till, drumlins, eskers, fjords, kettle lakes, moraines, cirques, horns, etc., are typical features left behind by the glaciers.
Photo taken inside a hummock taken at the IJsselmeer (IJmeer) near Amsterdam. A hummock is a boss or rounded knoll of ice rising above the general level of an ice-field, Hummocky ice is caused by slow and unequal pressure in the main body of the packed ice, and by unequal structure and temperature at a later period. Blue ice occurs when snow falls on the ice. The blue color is actually created for the same reason that water is blue, that is, its slight absorption of red light due to an overtone of the infrared OH stretching mode of the water molecule.
Een ijstijd of glaciatie is een geologisch tijdvak waarin ijskappen voorkomen. In het Engels wordt dit een periode van ice-house genoemd, als tegenhanger van een ijskaploze periode, de greenhouse ("broeikas"). Aangezien er gletsjers liggen op bijvoorbeeld Groenland of Antarctica, leven we tegenwoordig in een ijstijd. Men neemt aan dat dit in de gehele geologische geschiedenis van de Aarde minstens vijfmaal het geval is geweest, waarvan eenmaal zelfs zo sterk dat de ijskappen van de polen vrijwel tot aan de evenaar waren opgerukt. Ook zijn er periodes dat er aanzienlijke opwarming optrad waarbij die ijskappen grotendeels waren weggesmolten. Het klimaat op Aarde wordt beïnvloed door vele factoren, zoals de intensiteit van de zonnestraling, de ligging van de continenten, de continentverplaatsingen, vulkanisme, de zeestromen, de bedekking van het land door vegetatie, het weerkaatsingsvermogen van het aardoppervlak en vele kleine andere factoren. Met behulp van klimaatmodellen wordt door wetenschappers een reconstructie van het klimaat en de klimaatveranderingen in het verleden gemaakt. Alhoewel er een zekere consensus bestaat onder wetenschappers, zijn er nog vele onzekerheden en tegenstrijdigheden in dit onderzoek.
Hierboven een foto van kruiend ijs. Zoetwatermeren kunnen spectaculair bevriezen. Grotere meren zoals het IJsselmeer (IJmeer) hierboven hebben bijna altijd wel golven, en dit werkt directe bevriezing van het wateroppervlak tegen. Eerst vormen zich kleine ijsschotsen, die naar de kust drijven onder invloed van de wind. Deze schotsen vormen zo een ijsveld op het water dat de golven dempt, en uiteindelijk vriezen alle schotsen aan elkaar vast tot een massa. Voordat dit gebeurt schuren de schotsen voortdurend langs elkaar heen en schrapen zo stukjes ijs van elkaar af; elke schots krijgt zo een witte rand. Zulk ijs is dus totaal niet geschikt om op te schaatsen. Wanneer grotere delen van het meer bevriezen beginnen de platen, die soms een paar vierkante kilometer groot zijn, langzaam tegen elkaar te bewegen onder invloed van de wind en stroming. Dit heeft kruiend ijs tot gevolg: de ijsschotsen worden met kracht gebroken en op elkaar gestapeld langs de dijken langs het meer. Dit hoeft niet alleen bij dun ijs te gebeuren; soms kruit het ijs bij een dikte van meer dan 20 cm. De stapels ijs worden dan hoog, en het geluid is oorverdovend.

Info from Wikipedia:
Georges Island (named after George II of Great Britain) is a glacial drumlin and the largest island entirely within the harbour limits of Halifax Harbour located in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality. The Island is the location of Fort Charlotte - named after King George's wife Charlotte. Fort Charlotte was built during Father Le Loutre's War, a year after Citadel Hill (Fort George). The island is now a National Historic Site of Canada.
The island was originally named île à la Raquette which means Snowshoe Island. For a brief time, the Island was known as île d'Enville, named after the leader of the great Duc d’Anville Expedition who was buried on the island for a number of years. In 1749, the island was named "George Island" after King George II, and then finally, in 1963, it was renamed "Georges Island".
Upon the arrival of Edward Cornwallis and the outbreak of Father Le Loutre's War, fortifications were established on Citadel Hill (Fort George) (1749) and Georges Island (Fort Charlotte) (1750).
During the Seven Years' War, two thousand French sailors were imprisoned on the island after the British victory in the Battle off Cape Race, Newfoundland.
During the war, Fort Charlotte was one of four forts where Acadians were imprisoned over the nine years of the Expulsion of the Acadians(the others were Fort Frederick, Saint John, New Brunswick; Fort Cumberland; and Fort Edward (Nova Scotia)). The Acadian prisoners in the vicinity of Halifax were subject to various degrees of confinement and dependence upon victualization, without the right to own land, continuously, from 1759 to 1768. According to historian Ronnie Gilles-LeBlanc there were approximately 1660 Acadians held prisoner on the island during the deportation (1755-1763), with a maximum of 600 prisoners at one time. Many Acadian men in the region were occupied with road building, fisheries, wharf building, and wood cutting, and lodged close to where they worked.
During the American Revolution the 84th Regiment of Foot (Royal Highland Emigrants) were stationed at the fort to protect the harbour from American Privateers.
Georges Island was part of the "Halifax Defence Complex" from the mid-18th century to the Second World War, with Citadel Hill and Fort Charlotte on the island being restored by Parks Canada. For nearly two hundred years Georges Island was the scene of constant military activity. Tales of executions, forts and hidden tunnels surround the folklore associated with the mysterious island. It had an Island Prison Camp, a Look Out Point, an Acadian Prison camp, and a Quarantine Station.
The Georges Island Lighthouse was established on the island in 1876. The original wooden tower burned in 1917 and was replaced by an octagonal concrete tower in 1917. The light was manned until 1972 when it was automated and destaffed.

About an hour after the first photo.....a gentle mist lifting off the field gives the scene an even more atmospheric feel. Eshton, Yorkshire Dales.
This is a MOC of Drumlin Diner from Fallout 4. This is one I’ve had on the back burner for a long time and was originally planned to be a collaboration. I tried to capture the debris and post-apocalyptic feel of the game and location, albeit with some artistic license. Not perfect but no MOC ever is!
Poem.
Brown, purple and copper tones veiled in mist
and low cloud, looking over Loch EiI.
This view from Potter’s line shows a plethora
of glacial drumlins, small hummocks, on the far shore.
A dreamy, clearing shroud of early morning autumnal mist,
embraces the Loch Shiel mountains.
The sheep is not impressed, when green grass is available,
but I’ve had my breakfast, so I am!
