- spring is an illusion! (but I think it comes closer) photography wise the snow chaos yesterday in Germany was a charm. Ober-Eschbach, Germany IMG_7571-2_7D
Facing the Town Hall is an otherwise nondescript building being renovated, which has these four marble columns with beautifully carved capitals. I'm sure they're Gothic Revival and generally in excellent condition. Pevsner seems not to mention them at all, so I can't credit the sculptor.

With 2 Elegant Terns. Photo was taken in early November and there are still Royal Terns around, but the Elegants have migrated south by now.
Nyon, Vaud, Switzerland
Using filters allowed me to face the sunlight and freeze the water at the same time. The monochrome conversion emphasis the texture of the lake and strengthen the contrast to reveal the alps in the background.
Happy Blue Monday !

The Flatiron Formation above Boulder, Colorado, intercepts the red and pink light of the rising sun from my vantage near Coot Lake. Clouds that were spilling over the summits of Bear Peak (left) and Green Mountain (right) appeared to catch and linger as they warmed.
Being enthralled with Full Moons, I had hoped to catch the current Harvest Moon as it set behind the mountains while the sun came up. It was not to be. A dense curtain of cloud hung over the Continental Divide a little further west, and it swallowed the moon without much ado before the color started to build. Fortunately, there is more than one way to enjoy a morning! Mutt and I walked about as I searched for angles and he searched for rodents, and behind me I noticed a Great Horned Owl at the pinnacle in a tree in the middle of the marsh. It looked so plump in silhouette, and its horns were so pronounced, that it appeared like a large cat perched improbably high.
Thanks for the visits and comments! Haven't been out shooting for awhile it seems, and though I am now thoroughly tired it was ever a joy to be outside to start the day.

A solitary shell sits in the path of an incoming wave. Who knows if it will wash in further or be carried back out to deeper water.
M653 rounds the last bend before a gigantic mountain face stands in their way on their trip east. The twin bores of the Alleghany Tunnel lay ahead and a downhill trip into Clifton Forge afterwards. The C&O really did find the softest mountain pass of any eastern railroad it seems. Still nothing comes easy.
I posted this shot 6 years ago, but now that Scout has faced his last sunset I thought I would post it again. I hope where ever he is resting now is as peaceful and beautiful as the sunset we shared that evening back in 2008. This has always been one of my favorite shots of him.
One from a day out in tremendous conditions. If I remember correctly, I was frozen within an hour...
Thanks for looking
:-o
With the Laowa 15mm it's often impossible to get low enough to get the sky in the picture as well. Unless you want to dig holes.
I was very happy with this one 😊.
This is from my north-facing bedroom windows. I started with an ink line drawing, then immediately launched into color with wax pastel. #inktober2020 October 20, 2020

Rice farmers pause to take in the sunrise at a terrace in Bali. Take a beautiful location, add amazing light, and top it off with some morning mist, and you have the makings of a print worthy scene.
37799 'Sir Dyfed / County of Dyfed' rumbles past Ocean sidings on the morning of 29th October 1992 while working 6C84, the 0710 Aberthaw to Taff Merthyr Colliery empties.
These were dark days for the British Coal industry: 2 weeks earlier the government had announced that 31 of the remaining 50 deep mines would close within the next 18 months with the loss of 31,000 jobs. Taff Merthyr was on the list and closed the day after my visit.
The area had already suffered grevious job losses: Trelewis Drift; whuch was situated adjacent to Taff Merthyr had closed in 1989 and Ocean / Deep Navigation Colliery, which was located in the nearby village of Treharris had closed the previous year.
The name 'Ocean Sidings' originated from the name previously used for Deep Navigation Colliery: Ocean Colliery, the name carried until nationalisation in 1947.
Steam coal raised at Ocean Colliery powered the Cunard passenger steamers RMS Mauretania and RMS Lusitania in their successful attempts at the Blue Riband prize for the most rapid Atlantic Ocean passage.
