Fast becoming a crappy jetty....but just look at the view out across Loch Shiel.......watercolour beautiful.
Back from a few days down south near Kames and Tighnabruaich, Argyll, it's nice to be home.
But if you want a tip for a fabulous pitch to wild camp try Skipness, just over the water from Arran
As the sun rises above the Pacific Ocean, the air is punctuated with the smell of sea salt, citrus, and cherry blossoms. Here, while capturing the remaining morning freight trains on the Tokaido Main Line, the adjacent Tokaido Shinkansen is getting up to speed, so to speak, as a Tokyo bound service whisks under the orange groves in Ishibashi.

One of those 'can't decide between b&w and colour' moments!

Pancake tortoises are native to the area of Tanzania and Kenya. The species is thought to be the fastest tortoise in the world. They can quickly evade predators by scampering under rocks, and even climbing nearly vertical services. Unlike many other tortoises, if they find themselves on their backs, they can flip upright quickly.
Growing up fast.
The black necked stilt chicks at Bombay Hook NWR are growing up very fast. They seem to be an inch taller every week, and if they are not already flying, they will be very soon.
The stilt parents were still extremely protective not allowing any other birds, including small shorebirds to come anywhere close to their chicks

This was taken on an autumnal afternoon with fast shifting clouds. I captured this one when the light was soft yet enough to provide 3-D effects.
Listed as UNESCO in 2010, the Zhangye Danxia Landform area is known as “the eye candy of Zhangye”. Many artists admire this masterpiece as it is unbelievably colourful, like a n imaginative oil painting . Zhangye's Danxia landscape has lots of precipitous red cliffs, most of which are several hundred meters high, and multicolored ridges of weathered strata, sometimes stretching to the horizon. These formations, sometimes smooth sometimes sharp, stand out against the greens or grays of the plains , looking grand and magnificent, vigorous and virile.
Across the Danxia landscape zone, a kaleidoscope of numerous red rocky outcrops resemble weird and wonderful shapes like castles, cones, towers ; as well as humans, creatures, birds and beasts. Their peaks peeping through the mist and clouds, produce mirage-like scenery of fantastic mountains and pavilions.
Zhangye 's Danxia was formed by the erosion of red sandstone, forming isolated peaks and steep stratified outcrops. Its special geological structure, combined with long-term desert conditions , freeze-thaw peeling, and wind and water erosion gave rise to its present appearance.
Geologists believe that Danxia topography is formed by folding of layered oceanic crust. Exposed slanting rock layers have different colors, textures, shapes, sizes, and patterns. The combination of differences in density and erosion create towering peaks, cave holes, and stone halls. (Sourced from Internet)
甘肅張掖國家地質公園位於中國甘肅省張掖市, 規劃面積322平方公里。 2012年4月, “甘肅張掖丹霞地質公園” 國家地質公園（建設）資格被國土資源部批准。 2016年6月, 經實地驗收, 國土資源部同意命名該處為 “甘肅張掖國家地質公園”。這裡曾因其色彩斑斕的岩石地貌而被中國多家媒體選為中國最美地貌之一, 於2008年1月被甘肅省人民政府批准為省級“肅南－臨澤丹霞地貌風景名勝區”。
該公園位於祁連山北麓, 臨澤縣和肅南縣境內。兩縣均在甘肅省地級市張掖統轄範圍內。丹霞地貌主要分佈在康樂鄉和白銀鄉地段。臨澤丹霞景區是公園的核心區域, 距張掖市區以西30公里, 臨澤縣城以南20公里。這是整個公園發展最為完善, 遊客人數最多的一個景區。 第二大景區冰溝位於梨園河北岸, 於2014年8月3日正式揭牌。 冰溝佔地總面積為300平方公里, 海拔1500-2500米。 第三大景區肅南丹霞景區位於甘肅省臨澤縣。
張掖丹霞因其與眾不同的岩石色彩而舉世聞名。這些岩石光滑而險峻, 高數百米, 是紅礫石, 砂岩和其他礦物經過2400萬年的沉澱堆積而成。這種夾層蛋糕 般的效果與構成喜馬拉雅山脈的地殼板塊運動有關。經年累月的風吹雨淋，最終被雕琢成了如今這番奇特景象, 或形似塔, 或貌似柱, 或溝壑縱橫, 色彩斑斕, 形態各異。
47-031, RNLB Voluntary Worker as she did a fast pass along the beach at Selsey before heading east. Although I was above the tide level I was so intent on taking her photo that her wash got my left foot wet. Not a problem.

Union Pacific ‘high speed’ SD40-2s No. 8073, 8063, 8041, and 8070 find themselves pulling a low priority, slow moving train through Grant Tower in Salt Lake City, Utah on Jan. 28, 1978. 100 UP SD40-2 units were geared to operate at 80 mph speeds on priority intermodal trains. They were typically sandwiched between two DDA40X units, also geared for 80 mph operation.
