Finally ready to get back behind the camera again. I had fun and learned alot with this project during its first year.
The coming project ideas look to be just as enjoyable and educational as the first. It'll be great practice with lighting, camera techniques and Photoshop. I'll share tips along the way.
North Leverton Windmill this evening.
I don't normally shoot star trails this long as I usually nearly die of boredom waiting for the sequence to finish. But when you're in good company with high quality banter, the time just flies by!
This is 223 x 30 second exposures before my battery died....
I finally had the CN heritage unit that matters to me, leading a train of mine. WC painted 3069 for this former WC employee on the point of 93 cars loaded with corn heading to Canada. Unfortunately, the sun was damn near straight down the tracks when the only opportunity during my trip to grab a shot in the daytime (late afternoon) presented itself.
I owe this shot to my husband who spotted this owl in a tree by the road. I approached it slowly and this is as close as I finally got. He gave me 10 seconds and then flew across to a field, luckily for me, on a fence…Happy Friday everyone. :)
Finally got caught by an under cover SL cop ... They say I'm facing 5 to 10 ... THEM BASTARDS!!! lol
For the past several years, I have hoped to get a full on frontal photograph of the Lover's Lane Falls located in the Olympic National Park.
I finally did.
My kids and I tromped through some very heavy underbrush to get this particular angle that you see above. I had hoped to repel down (probably fall, breaking bones!) to the base of the falls, but thought better of this idea based on the steepness of the gorge. It is possible with perhaps more than just a rope. More planning is needed!
We had a wonderful day in the Sol Duc forest and as always, were grateful for each others good company :)
Mons
Nouvelle gare | New station
Située à proximité du centre de la ville de Mons, la gare fut mise en service en 1841 par les Chemins de fer de l'État belge et reconstruite à trois reprises depuis lors.
Le troisième bâtiment, qui datait de 1952, a été démoli en 2013 puis est progressivement remplacé par une nouvelle gare, conçue par l'architecte Santiago Calatrava ; le budget, prévu à 37 millions d'euros en 2006, atteint 480 millions en 2024 (en fin de chantier), soit 13 fois le montant initial.
En août 2023, la fin des travaux de la nouvelle gare (prévue à l'origine pour début 2015) est annoncée pour février 2024. En mai 2024, le chantier « touche à sa fin». La nouvelle gare a finalement été mise en service le 18 décembre 2024 et sera inaugurée le 31 janvier 2025.

---------------
Located near the centre of the city of Mons, the station was opened in 1841 by the Belgian State Railways and has been rebuilt three times since then.
The third building, which dated from 1952, was demolished in 2013 to be gradually replaced by a new station, designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava; the budget, planned at 37 million euros in 2006, reached 480 million in 2024 (at the end of the construction), i.e. 13 times the initial amount.
In August 2023, the end of the work on the new station (originally planned for early 2015) was announced for February 2024. In May 2024, the construction site "neared its end".
The new station was finally opened on 18 December 2024 and will be inaugurated on 31 January 2025.
We are trying to get out of the deep darkness in Europe ... perhaps Christmas Light will show us the right way to take back our future.

After several years of anticipating a trip to the Clinchfield (despite only living a few hours away) I finally came up . Q692 is seen here entering the loops at Ashford, NC.
Finally - after three weeks in Iceland - I got to see some northern lights. They didn't last very long, and I then stayed up until 1am hoping for more. When nothing showed up I went to bed, but set my alarm for literally every hour for the rest of the night to check! Finally got up at 7am thinking they were looking promising only to get dressed and go outside to find it had clouded over...
Oh well, hopefully I'll get a few more glimpses in my last couple of weeks here.
Finally with all of our slow pace, we reached the top of the building.
Having zero interest in day time photography can be difficult. Darkness and quiet can be hard to navigate in; every movement makes a noise, every step needs careful thought. It also leads to a lot of jealousy. Photographers who get to enjoy the freedom of the day can get spectacular shots that are difficult to capture at night.
Years ago, I saw a shot some urbex-person had taken of himself right here. Ever since I have wanted to be there myself, to try and better him.
So, it was a huge sense of achievement that washed over me. And what a sight, too- the huge roofs, damaged beyond repair with nature bursting through every seam.
Whilst the cement works have been visited many times, it can't be said that many of them were at 2am. I think these shots at least partly set me apart from everyone else. I hope so.
As always, I'm interested in interacting with photographers on social media... Facebook or Twitter
L.A. Arboretum:
It took a while, but I finally got a decent shot of the very attractive male Hooded Merganser. Yay!!! :-)
Finally had a chance to break out the fishing waders and get into the water. It's so nice not to be limited on where I can set up for shots like this.
This is a 7 exposure HDR shot.
finally set up a little store for all your oder merch :P sticker packs and a canvas up right now, therell be things up here and there.
I have finally seen 703 take to the sky even though it was in some pretty grotty weather but I had to seize my chance!
So here is Tarnish 9 taking 703, a Royal Saudi Air Force Tornado on another sortie from Warton.

Finally some flowers are starting to make an appearance in the garden. Just a few crocus and a couple of snowdrops so far but I know that soon the daffs and tulips will follow and I can't wait!
I finally sewed my own mouth - nose protection, as there haven't been any in the drugstore for weeks.
I can wash my face mask. Whether it protects me is discussed on the Internet and the media, in any case it protects my surroundings when I cough or sneeze.
My family recommended this pattern to me, but there are others too.
Finally. June2026. Another structure that I have snapped 4 or 5 times(I don’t bracket)film is expensive. Always had one issue or another. Failure and a win is always nice. Used to be home in Pine Bluff, Arkansas USA. KodakTX400@640. NikonFE2. Nikkor28-105mm. YellowFilter. HC110(f)1:79. AGOFilmProcessor-17minutes. Water Stop. IlfordRapidFix-5minutes. Washed-10minutes. KodakPhotoFlo-1minute. CameraScan:FujifilmXH1.
I’ve been having these weird dreams lately where I’ve been drowning in each one of them. Finally I decided to look up and see what it meant:
“Because of the water, drowning depicts fear of being overwhelmed by difficult emotions or anxieties. But this might apply not to dangerous emotions or urges, but to natural urges such as eating, loving or sex, that some people have enormous conflicts about. Drowning in a dream is also about struggling to survive as a person, so it applies to your identity as it is dealing with relationship with other people, but also with your own internal world of instincts, body activities and needs.”
Pretty spot on with this last week. But, with this new week I’ve decided to try and be positive instead of letting myself sink even further. Today, I killed my science exam (I think) and I’ve been telling myself that things will be alright. Somehow, with everything that happens in my life I feel like I manage to keep my head above water.

PLEASE, follow me on:
Storm Jocelyn passed through yesterday and Rob and I decided to head west to find some post-storm light. With the wind dying down around midday it was disappointing to find most of Inverpolly and Assynt blanketed in low, grey clouds. We eventually broke through the clag heading north to Stoer Point where it was almost a blue-sky day at the lighthouse. After a while having some fun capturing the stormy seas we again reversed course and headed back into a still cloudy Assynt to some potential sunset locations. We had spotted these oft photographed islands in Loch Assynt on the way up and liked the way the islands were pretty much submerged by the high water so it was great to see a glimse of the sun as it finally broke below the cloud and 10 minutes later, disappear behind the hills. This is a 3 image exposure blend to deal with the extreme dynamic range.
