Near Sgurr a' Bhealaich Dheirg on the Brothers Ridge in Kintail, looking west to Saileag and the Five Sisters beyond.
View from the Five Island Junction. Not exactly a view, but...
From this viewpoint on the bridge, I need also keep an eye on my back!
To help me dodge from the speeding 4WDs.

The bridge that connects islands that were fortunate to fall in line... (from where I am standing) disrupts water flow, bringing it to a total, stagnant, standstill.

The British had built this bridge, spannig across several of these islands...
to facilitate the transport of vehicles and goods, during their stay in the
Maldives.
What used to be a thriving lagoon abundant with marine life,
is now totally bare.
Smells of dead weed.
And is littered with rotting carcasses.
The garbage that used to get integrated into the marine environment stay healthy and piles up... and up.
Even bacteria refuse to live here.
Beneath the lovely iridescence of sunset colors of this evening... is a Six inch high depth of sea, (used to be Six Feet!) spanning hundreds of Kilometres of coastline.
Un travelable. Un habitable. Un bearable.
Un beatable!

The New Brighton clock tower (outside the library) is five minutes fast. It was 11:35am on my camera and that is currently out from the atomic clock time by 15 seconds.

A view inside the playing card factory at Smallville where the little workers are creating yet another playing card. This time it's the Five Of Hearts.
Five minutes after sunset at the mouth of the Russian River, Jenner, California.
Thanks, as always, for your visit and all of your support. Have a great week ahead! We are up on the Sonoma Coast for a few days, will catch up and post as time permits.

This striking lizard was the very first thing I saw as I started my walk into the gardens!
The five-lined skink (Eumeces fasciatus) is one of the most common lizards in the eastern U.S. and one of the five species of lizards in Canada. Other common names include blue-tailed skink and red-headed skink, however there is a separate species known as blue-tailed skink.
I do the same walk in the morning three times a week (and during lockdown I often do it for a 4th time at the weekend). My wife is often surprised that I don't get bored of it and, strangely, I don't.
It's a 5km distance from door back to door and takes in some nice parts of Great Dunmow and the countryside that surrounds it.

Black and white photography is (as you may have guessed) by far the most compelling medium for me (although I have a near-complete colour version of this image which I was tempted to post as an alternative!), and typically the advice when shooting is to seek out strong, contrasting colours and tones that convert well to shades of gray for a balanced tonal range. I am of course simplifying things greatly, but those of you who regularly shoot with the intent to convert to mono - and I understand there's something called 'film' too which apparently comes in black and white, what will they think of next? - will I'm sure have by now trained your eye to see in a grayscale colour space. Of course, this is easier said than done - there are scores of awful looking flat, washed out black and white photos created by those who give no consideration to their craft. I met another photographer whilst out on a shoot recently who expressed an interest in what I was taking, so I showed him some of my work via my iphone. He was (or claimed to be!) impressed and told me he'd previously thought of black and white shots in terms of what I've just described; wishy-washy and lacking the impact of their more colourful and vibrant cousins. Step forward anyone who converts to mono simply by just tugging at that little saturation slider - hang your head in shame...
This image was shot on the same foggy morning as 'Something In the Way', and I incurred similar decision making issues during post production (I'll ignore my capture process for the purpose of my point) with both shots, due to the effect of the foggy weather conditions. Don't misunderstand me - fog and mist are a photographer's dream, but I think because of the dampening effect they have on contrast, detail, pattern, texture and line, I believe it's perhaps easier to produce a pleasing picture in colour. As with 'Something In The Way', my challenge then was to try and introduce enough in the way of contrast to the scene to warrant the mono conversion. Some of you are very good at injecting punch into landscapes captured during these conditions, and for my personal preference I enjoy photographs where this level of contrast has been created subtly, so as to allow the poor atmospherics to still take precedence in the image. I'm not entirely sure I succeeded at this with either of these shots (and I might yet post a third from the same morning), but the challenge was an enjoyable one at any rate.
...What do you mean, you can only see four seagulls?!

The F/V Sandra Five is a commercial fishing vessel, built in 1998, that operates primarily in Alaska. It is a crabber and tender vessel known for operating in the Bering Sea.
Prompt: Create an ultra-realistic digital fine art oil painting, with light brush strokes, of the Fishing Vessel Sandra Five, accurately depicted from the reference image.
The vessel is painted in rich deep blue, with the name “SANDRA FIVE” clearly visible in bold white lettering on the bow. The superstructure is white with dark framing around the windows, and the vessel’s deck equipment and antennas are rendered in intricate, true-to-life detail.
Depict the Sandra Five navigating through the turbulent Bering Sea in the early morning light. The choppy dark-blue waves, capped with white foam, crash dynamically against the hull as the ship cuts steadily through rough water. Fine mist and sea spray rise around the bow, adding realism and energy to the scene.
In the background is the open rough Bering Sea. The sky glows with soft hues of a beautiful dawn—pale yellows, pinks, and silvers—casting subtle reflections on the vessel’s metallic surfaces and the rolling waves.
The painting should capture a cinematic, panoramic composition, emphasizing both the strength of the vessel and the vast, untamed sea around her. Every element—from the hull texture and weathered details to the delicate atmospheric lighting—must be rendered with museum-quality precision and clarity.
Style: Ultra-realistic digital fine art oil painting, Brush strokes
Lighting: Early morning, soft light with mist and reflection highlights
Mood: Determined, maritime resilience in harsh northern seas
Aspect Ratio: Wide-angle panoramic horizontal
Resolution: Ultra-high, no noise, no grain
Digital fine art was created using chatgpt Sora AI and photoshop
This is at the of the upper "Josefstal Waterfall" just before a nice clearing to have a break. It is part of a round trip hike around the waterfall and upper river.
The love of my life, five years old now.
I know I'm really behind with uploads but we just got our net back so prepare to be spammed ;)
Anyways, I've wanted to post this for quite a while.
Happy Birthday Athena

Stenciled numbers on a weathered wall next to a roll-up door.
Weathered, decaying subjects and subjects with strong patterns attract me, and this one works on both counts. I photographed it a few years ago while wandering around in San Francisco and poking my camera into odd little corners and alleys. This is in a shoreline area that was once a location of true maritime industry, but which is today much like the rest of San Francisco — in other words a place for small offices, start-ups, restaurants and similar enterprises.
The stenciled numbers did catch my attention when I first saw this little scene. Initially I think that their weathered character may have been responsible. But more recently I have wondered about them. Do they still mean something or are they now remnants divorced from an earlier context? Is the message “5” or is it “55?” And what, if anything, is the relationship between the two different fonts used?

Found this little clump of wild flowers along the edge of Lake Thompson near Delaplane, VA. My son and I went one Sunday afternoon just to find the place. He fished for a while and I strolled along the edge of the lake looking for pictures. I didn't find a lot, but I like this one:)
Have a great week!
For Sam and I, this was our fifth consecutive New Years campout.
After two years of no snow, we were finally blessed with an abundance of white stuff on our local mountains! We went up the main Seymour trail for about 30 minutes and just before reaching Brockton Point, we found a decent spot to set up camp.
This year we built an igloo. Yes, Sam spent New Years sleeping inside an IGLOO!!! Unfortunately he crashed out around 11:30 and had no interest in getting up for the light-painting. So here are the four snow elves who helped write in 2016.
