Fascinating rocks around Ringing Roger, weather beaten looking like they have been poured on top of each other sitting amongst the heathers.
A stream of early light lit up the Great Ridge beautifully.

Vicki, a photographer, introduced herself after I took this image of her observing Jackson Pollock's 'Blue Poles'.
I should have asked her what she was thinking while looking at the painting.

my very first step with a creative intelligence + is it art? + i dont know + but it is fascinating + maybe i continued
Ok, parties of geologists come to places like this on holiday. I overheard one of the group leaders saying that the beach is littered with stuff that was spat out by the volcanoes across the sea in Skye. A while ago. So whilst there are plumes of dark volcanic rock thrusting out of the coast, this end of the beach is covered in green algae pebbles and rocks where the freshwater river flows out to the sea, but further back where the sand is pale and fine, is where the black volcanic grit, washed out of the surrounding mountains flows over the 'white' seashell sand to make all the patterns I show elsewhere in my photostream. The shoreline is quite steep, with a deep heap of granite pebbles of varying colours and strata, that rolls back and forward with the tides and sometimes thunderous Atlantic waves crashing into the bay.
This is a stitched image of nine frames that didn't quite join up as wonderfully as I had hoped, but you get the picture. Nice grey, cloudy sky. End of the track, fabulous isolated back o'beyond holiday home on the Ardnamurchan Estate at Fascadale, fully equipped with jump leads.

A long-tailed broadbill (Psarisomus dalhousiae) was framed enjoying the morning leisure under warm sunshine. The colours of the bird always attract the birders. The special yellow spot on head is so cute here. The backdrop Bokeh with a soothing tone gave it another level of elegance. Pics was taken from Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal, India.

I’ve always found this winding road really fascinating! how it winds its way down this hillside, like a giant snake about to slither back into the sea 🐍 . Towering over the western shore of Lough Swilly this hilltop commands spectacular views over Ballymastocker Beach & Portsalon in the distance.
Knockalla hill has one of the most uniquely beautiful views to be found throughout Ireland. A few years ago, this beach was voted second place as the most beautiful beach in the world! Merely missing 1st place to a paradise island in the Seychelles. Not too shabby for a beach on the corner of Donegal
Hope you enjoy! Please favourite & add me as a contact to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
Fascinating meadow that we chose as our camp site on trek to Amritganga valley in Garhwal Himalayas, India

An awesome and fascinating bird. While this bird can't walk on water it can walk under it. Its range is in the mountains of Western North and Central America. It is an elevational migrant only moving down a stream course if it becomes completely frozen over. They have feathered white eyelids and they build their nest in very difficult places for predators to access, sometimes even behind a waterfall. There are 5 subspecies of dippers found in the world and they are most closely related to the Thrushes.
Let me tell you the fascinating and dramatic story of this bird island on the west coast of Norway. In the year 1725 a ship from the Netherlands descended here. The ship was loaded with gold. The gold treasure was later found by divers. The island "Runde" has only 150 inhabitants. But every summer, more than 500,000 seabirds come here to nest. And tourists from all over Europe come here, either to experience this adventure or to find remnants of the gold treasure... Thanks for your visit and comments, my Flickr friends. I hope you're all staying safe and healthy. Enjoy your summer):
Lassen Sie mich Ihnen die faszinierende und dramatische Geschichte dieser Vogelinsel an der Westküste Norwegens erzählen. Im Jahr 1725 landete hier ein Schiff aus den Niederlanden. Das Schiff war mit Gold beladen. Der Goldschatz wurde später von Tauchern gefunden. Runde hat nur 150 Einwohner. Aber jeden Sommer kommen mehr als 500.000 Seevögel auf die Insel, um zu nisten. Und Touristen aus ganz Europa kommen hierher, um entweder dieses Abenteuer zu erleben oder die Überreste des Goldschatzes zu finden. Es ist ein Abenteuer...

Laissez-moi vous raconter l'histoire fascinante et dramatique de cette île aux oiseaux sur la côte ouest de la Norvège. En 1725, un navire des Pays-Bas est descendu ici. Le navire était chargé d'or. Le trésor d'or a ensuite été découvert par des plongeurs. Runde ne compte que 150 habitants. Mais chaque été, plus de 500 000 oiseaux marins viennent nicher sur l'île. Et des touristes de toute l'Europe viennent ici, soit pour vivre cette aventure, soit pour trouver des vestiges du trésor d'or... Merci de votre visite et de vos commentaires, mes amis Flickr.

Finally, after a botched plan to visit the seaweed farms in North Bohol last Tuesday canceled by the typhoon Pablo, we were able to take advantage of a lull in the weather this Thursday. The sun was up, the monsoon winds were leashed and the waters were still. Calm. Just the way I like it.

There is something I find fascinating about Holy Island the same as I do about the Isles of Scilly off of Cornwall when we have visited there, maybe it`s the thought of a community in some form of isolation when tide and weather come together to prohibit travel to and from an Island.
Or maybe it`s just the beauty of the place in particular the 16th century castle of Lindisfarrne which towers above the Island and can be seen from all directions.
The castle is run by the National Trust so if you are a member you can visit for free and there is also holiday accommodation there.
This is a five shot focus stack, I could have got by with maybe one shot but just to be safe I did the focus stack.
I did another focus stack from a little further back to take in another Iron ring the same as in my foreground, I`ll show that in due course.
We were lucky as it was not too busy, there is only a six hour window when you can cross the Causway at low tide so visitors flock in at much the same time after reading the tide advice, I would love to see this at high tide but you would have to be prepared to either stay overnight in one of the pubs or guest houses or just hang about for six hours and wait for the next low tide.
To shoot a sunrise from there would be rather nice I think, not sure I could persuade Jane to venture all the way back up there again it`s over 400 miles from our home on the South Coast.
Many more images to come from here .

This statue makes me homesick for the Arctic. I've never lived there, but Larry and I have visited the high Arctic a few times and have a deep connection to it. I have no idea who made this fascinating sculpture, but was thrilled seeing it on a walk in a neighbourhood we hadn't explored too much.
Insect macro photography reveals a lot of fascinating aspects of their behavior and evolution. One of the more interesting things I've seen is the tail of the hairstreak family of butterflies - " A hairstreak’s trickery happens when it’s perched, with wings folded. Its eyespots and antenna-like tails are designed to fool predators into thinking that the butterfly’s head is where its tail is. Hairstreaks even add a behavioral component – a nectaring hairstreak often moves its hindwings up and down, simulating the movement of twitchy antennae. A butterfly that loses a chunk of its hindwing can survive, but a butterfly that loses its head – not so much."

The Comma is a fascinating butterfly. The scalloped edges and cryptic colouring of the wings conceal hibernating adults amongst dead leaves, while the larvae, flecked with brown and white markings, bear close resemblance to bird droppings.
The species has a flexible life cycle, which allows it to capitalize on favourable weather conditions. However, the most remarkable feature of the Comma has been its severe decline in the twentieth century and subsequent comeback. It is now widespread in southern Britain and its range is expanding northwards.
My first Milky Way Galaxy pictures!
They were taken during a great masterclass training session organized by MissNumérique retail shop in Essey-lès-Nancy given by Pierre Rolin, during which I learned a lot!
So fascinating to see how it looks in my camera sensor, and I am quite proud of the final rendering, for a first time :-)
What is fascinating is also the atmosphere during the nightly session.

Mes premières photos de la Voie Lactée !
Elles ont été prises à l'occasion d'une session organisée par le magasin MissNumérique d'Essey-lès-Nancy, donnée par Pierre Rolin en expert formateur, durant laquelle j'ai énormément appris (en premier lieu que c'est possible à faire, et qu'il faut oser !)
L'atmosphère de la session nocturne est fascinante, et l'image telle que sortie du capteur déjà très motivante. Ensuite avec un bon rendu (sans trop forcer) je suis plutôt content de moi, pour une première...
So glad Kakashi likes to walk in the snow. He is much better at finding good photo targets and spots the birds and foxes before I do. In the summer, he is most proficient at finding snakes under the leaves but doesn't understand why he can't eat them.
A fascinating geometric reflection of an outside stair case in Manchester caught my eye. The colours are genuine tints in the glass building that I have pushed and toned in Nik's Color Efex Pro 4 to add further interest. No local adjustments were made. I hope you enjoy.
this complex flash combination required only a fraction of a second ! In the 15 sec exposure time it was the only flash event. The line in the clouds came frome a plane approaching Düsseldorf.
Fascinating building. built in the 2nd century as a Roman temple, then became a catholic church in the 6th century.
It has been in continuous use since its construction.
