I found a couple of images from this visit to stitch and expand the vertical extent. Captures the full view, including the rocky creek. A mountain storm is moving in, but the last rays of sunlight are hitting the fall foliage in the canyon along the creek. A bit of a golden glow.
Calytrix is an Australian genus of shrubs known as starflowers. Calytrix depressa is a species from the southwest of Western Australia. The petals are either mauve to violet or yellow. The calyx lobes have prominent awns that extend well-beyond the extent of the petals, a feature that I find gives them a natural elegance. florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/5450
This very large beach is only a few years old, made by the sea almost over night during a storm phase. Tide streams can form land in very short time and extent, exceeding human machine capabilities by far.

Interestingly, it was the aftermath of one of my recent storm encounters when I began to conceptualize the lure. My attraction to boundaries is part of it. There's a thrill-seeking component as well. But that is inextricably linked to a creative desire, rather than unadulterated risk taking. Many is the time I wonder if I would even be in whatever situation I find myself absent the camera. Truly I found myself on a completely different life path once I began devoting serious time and effort to photography. I began to see my world differently, but more importantly actually going out and seeing it in reality.
My realization the other day had more to do with the effect an episode such as this storm has on me (need not be a storm, could be just an event, but the storm will serve for this narrative). I recall how I felt when I turned onto this farm road and realized the extent of the storm. All at once, every last mundane thought of the workday vanished. All that mattered in this moment was the immediate environment. My mind switches into 'event' mode as it considers light, shadow, clouds, weather, wind...all of the factors that feed into the process of composing photos while simultaneously maintaining situational awareness, perhaps more accurately phrased situation appreciation. In this case it was the overarching transformation of a tranquil summer evening into an otherworldly view of light and shadow. Exquisite as always to be right in the middle of this.
Later, heading back home, my mind began to decompress. Suddenly I remembered that I needed to tend the recycle bins and take out the trash. And sort some bills. These thoughts and others quickly siphoned off my 'event' mode energy. I need to reengage my normal life but part of me wants to cling to the adventure, to remain in that other world. And then again the story can't be re-lived or recounted until it ends. A real conundrum. Of course a return to normal life is inevitable. I suppose the high energy moments need a counterpoint in order to be truly appreciated. Still a bummer. But even then, in the back of my mind, the memories remain and they are vivid. And there's the photos...

Yes, this is just about the extent of my bear collection,
at least the one I use the most!
They were a bit hesitant to pose for this shot,
but finally agreed, along with a short description!
The *honey* filled bears are self-explanatory.
The green bear contains leftover paint for one of my studios!
The bear with the handmade woolen sweater is a model and
wonders why he only has one knitting needle across his front.
The miniature bear in the center left holds a small wooden bee collection,
and the bear beside him used to be filled with glittery nail polish,
but likes her new clean look!
In the middle back, beachy bear sporting a flowery headdress, contains sea glass!
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday everyone!
Another shuttle train loaded with thermal coal mined at the nearby Iron Senergy Cumberland Mine passes over Bridge #1, and alongside Whiteley Creek outside of Kirby, PA.
This unique and completely isolated railway began in 1976 under ownership of steel icon United States Steel, shuttling coal from their newly opened deep mine to Alicia Harbor in Alicia, PA along the Monongahela River, 17 miles away.
In 2020, current owner Contura Energy had announced their intentions to close the 40 plus year old mine by 2022, rather than invest in a new tailings pond which was nearing max capacity. Enter, Iron Senergy.
The sale from Contura to a completely unknown company, was a major alarm for the 700+ employees at UMWA Local 2300. Who is this Iron Senergy? What is it? Filings online showed that the company had just been created that same year. Its owners and C suite executives were unknown even. Public filings between this Iron Senergy and Contura had redacted the names involved with the mysterious company.
Contura couldn't wait to get Greene County, PA assets off of their hands. To the extent that the UMWA claims Iron Senergy was paid $50M to take over Cumberland Mine and other mining assets saving $169M in associated costs for Contura Energy, who after the sale would rebrand themselves to become Alpha Metallurgical Resources. Included in the sale was the nearby gargantuan Emerald Mine, which was closed in 2016, now flooded and full of water. 500 million tons of Pittsburgh No.8 coal reserves, a limited tailings facility (as mentioned earlier), the 17 mile long Cumberland Mine Railroad, it's Alicia Harbor and lastly the Labelle Transloading Facility which gave Iron Senergy access to transload from rail, to barge, then back to rail for loading onto CSX and NS trains increasing direct access for more markets.
In 2022 mining production reached over 6 million clean tons of coal, a substantial increase over the previous few years under Contura ownership. At time of purchase Cumberland Mine was operating 2 development segments and a single long wall miner. Iron Senergy executives made the decision to immediately bring in a 3rd long wall miner to increase production.
The moral change at the mine was instantaneous, creating a massive increase in productivity. 37% from continuous miners, and 20% in longwall mining. Since taking over in 2020 Iron Senergy has invested over $127M into expanding production of the property, with the most crucial investment being the building of a new tailings dump. In 2021, groundbreaking for CRDA #3 took place, allowing the Cumberland Mine facility to increase its life expectancy by another additional 20 years when completed.
Yet another shot from Roque de las Bodegas - a beach and hamlet located in the area of Taganana, taking its name from the rock formation seen here which stretches into the Atlantic, although from this angle, its lengthy extent out into the Atlantic - as viewed in the previous image post - is not explicitly apparent. The small settlement consists primarily of restaurants and small shops these days, and is located right at the foot of the near-vertical cliffs of the Anaga mountain range on Tenerife's north coast.
The site is said to have been of great importance to the Taganana area since the 16th century, by virtue of the presence of a small jetty running alongside the rocks which enabled the trading of wine with Europe and America. Barrels loaded with Canarian wine are said to have been loaded to trade ships via a cableway installed by locals with the name of the rock and settlement translating literally to 'Rocks of the Wineries'.

In early June, we visited Waterton Lakes National Park and were flabbergasted by the extent of the damage caused by the 2017 Kenow Wildfire. Imagine a wall of fire up to 400 feet high descending on the town and throwing out baseball sized embers on the roof of the historic Prince of Wales Hotel. At it's height, three ladder trucks were hosing down the hotel with water and fire retardant. Ultimately, the fire destroyed the Visitors Center, campgrounds, and water/electrical systems. Park staff went out in the aftermath and euthanized wild animals too badly injured in the blaze.
The area is slowly regenerating but it will take a while. You can find more information here: parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ab/waterton/nature/environment/feu-...
About a week after we visited, most of the park had to be closed due to heavy rains, which damaged or washed out trails and roads - including one we had climbed.
Coming home again, we were grateful to have been able to experience what we did and dodge most of the extreme events. Some were just too close for comfort.
Put an extention tube on my 60mm macro lens and put a shiny penny on some coloured card and this was the result. This is how it came out the camera, the colour of the card reflecting on the shiny penny.
Bloopers and Re-edits
In concluding this current series of night photographs I thought I'd describe some of the problems involved in choosing the right edit for a night shot - colour and black and white. My first version of this shot in December 2019 can be seen for comparison here: www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/49215280311/in/album-72...
This is the entrance gate to Luna Park in the Melbourne bayside suburb of St Kilda. It was built in 1912 and has Australia's oldest wooden roller coaster, The Scenic Railway (the second oldest in the world), which runs around its boundary.
Well, strictly speaking this is another shot of the same scene. The first blooper I made in my initial selection was to take no account of the compositional advantages of people in the photograph. Four years ago I simply didn't understand how important people can be as elements in a frame. If you want an artistic model for this, look at some of the Australian artist Jeffrey Smart's paintings, especially "Cahill Expressway" (1962). www.ngv.vic.gov.au/explore/collection/work/3000/
That single figure makes the painting.
So you'll see in 2019 I overlooked two key figures that add interest to this scene. The first on our far left is the man standing with cap in profile against that wall that is bathed in yellow light (What is he doing? Waiting for someone?). The second figure on our far right is running from the bus towards the entrance of Luna Park. But in 2019 I chose the RAW file which neglected the foreground activities and design on the concrete. Both critical to the balance of the composition.
The second (and frankly, most embarrassing) blooper has to do with balancing the colours. In the 2019 version they are a total mess. Where did all that blue in the face come from? I am much more concerned now for accuracy of colour rendition whilst still happy to play them up for effect (we don't want a bland view that merely reproduces what our eyes can see). But unless the colours are balanced (and getting a white balance first is critical for this) and the exposure levels are congruent with the actual scene, all sorts of problems emerge.
There are more than enough problems in night colour photography as it is. And one of the reasons why I think most night shots are easier to process in black and white, is that you get fewer artefacts - or unwanted results - and when you do you can hide them to a large extent. Part of the reason I chose to produce such a dark version in 2019 was an attempt to hide some of these artefacts. In fact all I needed to do was get the colour balance right in the first place. This re-edit is a much truer version of the original scene and most importantly, the atmosphere.

The genus Leptophobia comprises of 20 currently known species. Three of these have only recently been discovered ( 2000-2003 ) and are as yet unnamed.
Most Leptophobia species are white or cream coloured on the upperside, with dark brown or black margins, but these vary in extent from species to species.
All Leptophobia are high altitude species, and are variously distributed from Costa Rica to Bolivia and Argentina.
Leptophobia aripa is native to Mexico, Central America and South America, but strays may be found as far north as southern Texas.(Wikipedia)

The extent of these reeds and grasses in the Tamar Wetlands is considerable. Here they stand about 2 metres high and stretch as far as the eye can see. I am shooting from an elevated position. On the horizon you'll see a bit of the city of Launceston and the mountains beyond that.
Photo Note: I would normally straighten the lens distortion at the edges of a photograph. But in this case it creates a truer expression of the expanse of reeds to leave it as it is.

Some people say that landscape photography is relaxing. I agree with this to a certain extent, but if you challenge yourself to get out in harsh conditions, this pastime is anything but relaxing. Having just been battered by a snowstorm, I tried to work fast in order to compose an image of the clearing weather front. A blanket of cloud was moving across the frame very rapidly from right to left, with the sun becoming stronger by the second as it began to emerge into clear sky. I managed to rattle off a couple of frames at the point where the sun was diffused by the passing cloud, therefore reducing the amount of lens flare.
Processing of the image was complicated by the fact that I had mistakenly shot only in jpeg and not RAW. I tried my best to make the most of a contrasty shot, with this image here being my eventual result.

...and that is about the extent of the harvest. They were patio plants and the sweet little black squirrel turned into a monster and began stealing tomatoes. Moved all the plants to the upstairs deck and the little tyke figured out how to climb the drainpipe. After a pitched battle all summer these are what we came away with...along with a few other cherry tomatoes that survived. The little black squirrel is fat and happy though.
Please press L this really needs to be seen fullscreen!

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

The extent of this area is quite large, so there are lots of plants to photograph.
Thanks to the staff of the Botanic Gardens for maintaining it so well.

"The Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in France, 48 acres in extent, is sited on a plateau 100 feet above the Moselle River in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. It contains the graves of 5,254 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the campaigns across northeastern France to the Rhine River and beyond into Germany. The cemetery was established in October 1944 by the 46th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company of the U.S. Seventh Army as it drove northward from southern France through the Rhone Valley into Germany. The cemetery became the repository for the fatalities in the bitter fighting through the Saverne Gap, and in defense of Allied positions in the Vosges region, during the winter of 1944-1945."

The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity
The village of Raithby is situtated in the southern Lincolnshire Wolds a few miles west of the town of Spilsby, in the district of East Lindsey and the ancient wapentake of Bolingbroke Soke.
The parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and dates back to the 12th century, the church was partially rebuilt in 1873 by Sir George Gilbert Scott and the chancel was enlarged in 1884 by Temple Moore. Close to the church is Raithby Hall, built in 1760 of red brick with further extentions in 1873, again by Sir George Gilbert Scott.
Shooting this area was one of the stranger places I've shot, and it could have been all in my head. There are a few square miles of farmed land surrounded by unfarmable mountainous areas. It's like a little secret pocket. There are maybe ten lived-in homes and a few abandoned houses.
The land is flat and if there's a car driving around anywhere in this little pocket, the dust kicked up from the roads tells you exactly where they are. I felt very seen and watched. This was definitely true, but to the extent it mattered, I'm not sure.
I can't imagine this area gets any visitors. You have to travel pretty far off the main roads to access it. So if you're there, you mean to be there.
I was driven by a few times, with the trucks stopping well off and perhaps watching me.
This happens sometimes, and it's always easy to diffuse with just a smile and a few friendly words. But that nobody actually approached me just wigged me out.
I quickly grabbed a few shots with the RB67 (I don't think I even took the time to set up the 4x5) and got the hell out.
A truck tailed me on the way out and then turned around after it was clear that I was leaving.
Again, could have been all in my head. The trucks could have stopped for other reasons. Maybe the guy tailing me turned around because he forgot something at home. Who knows?

These woodpeckers feed, to a great extent, on sap and cambium (inner bark) which they obtain by drilling holes in the trunks of trees. These peculiar holes indicate the presence of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the area.

Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers can be really tricky to tell apart when they are not being vocal. They both have a habit of flitting around quickly, so spotting diagnostic features is difficult. This Chiffchaff decided to make life easy by showing off the full extent of the dark legs. Willow Warblers have pale legs. I took this on a former coal processing site in the village of Skelmanthorpe, West Yorkshire. It is being turned into a wild park and I was helping the local Parish Council's Countryside Officer with a wildlife survey on the site.
Mangawhai is a locality in Northland, New Zealand around the Mangawhai Harbour. The township of Mangawhai is at the south west extent of the harbour, and the township of Mangawhai Heads is 5 km north east. Kaiwaka is 13 km south west, and Waipu is 20 km north west of Mangawhai Heads.
In extent the third largest stone circle in the country, situated on a slight rise in the Eden Valley between Little Salkeld and Glassonby. Like other local circles very early in date - Late Neolithic - about four and a half thousand years old.
In 1822 William Wordsworth wrote a poem entitled, "A Monument Commonly Called Long Meg and her Daughters".
He regarded the site second only to Stonehenge in importance calling it, " ... the most notable relic this or any country contains"
Leopards were few and far between on this trip so when the opportunity arose we went a bit beserk to such an extent having spotted this one we watched where it went and followed. Next few days photos will be of this leopard

Binevenagh, Magilligan peninsula , Northern Ireland
Binevenagh marks the western extent of the Antrim Plateau which formed around 60 million years ago by molten lava, inviting comparison with the more famous basalt formations at the "Giants Causeway" The steep cliffs have a vertical drop of more than 100m & the plateau extends for over 6 miles across the peninsula of Magilligan.
I always enjoy visiting here as the height gives you great views over Benone Strand, Donegal and on a clear day Scotland can be seen from up here! Nature was certainly busy to shape the land along this coast so uniquely millions of years ago
Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
I took this photo of Mt. Crandell showing the extent of the Kenow Wild Fire that swooped through the park Aug./Sept. of 2017. The undulations of the mountainside are clearly visible due to the white tree skeletons. Speaking to a local tour operator who witnessed the wildfire, I learned that this valley was burned in one day when the winds were strong, the temperatures were high and the humidity was low. It is good to see the signs that Mother Nature is well on her way to returning the area to its natural beauty. Time heals!
