I spotted this mountain like cloud with a flat top, known as a cumulonimbus in the Beagle Channel.This type of cloud usually means a storm may be on its way.

This is the cat-free version. Of course, I have a... cat-full (?) version, since Pixie had to inspect my work before it was approved for posting.

Seascapes for me are the most dynamic of landscapes to shoot... They are a mix of composition enhanced by the dynamics of weather, light, tide and sea state. Poor light and bad weather can often be a good thing...leading to brooding moody skies... I tend to favour high tide as I find the higher water simplifies compositions generally... The one thing I struggle with the most if I don't have it... is sea state... when the water is just flat and doesn't create the areas of white and lines of water... it does not inject the photo with the energy that the waves bring... and especially on poor days it does not lead to the white areas of luminosity in the shot that I find pleasing... Here is maybes effort in such conditions... but to me the shot lacks what I look for in a good seascape... a bit of energy! Some may say this is a calming image... and I suppose it is.... I just find that personally a bit blahhh!

Death Valley is best experienced in the morning and during Winter.
At this time of year, you are alone and there are massive weather fronts that travel over the valley. The desert pools with water and the sky's are full of attitude.
This image is an exposure blend from the Salt Flats with its huge octagon shapes. It's a short hike from the roadside and the playground begins.
Thanks for stopping by
"Why you fool, it's the educated reader who CAN be gulled.
All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies, don't need reconditioning. They're all right already. They'll believe anything."

Abandoned cafe with the Guadalupe Mountains in the distance.
Just outside the community there is a dry salt pan called Salt Flat Playa or Salt Basin. It straddles the New Mexico-Texas border and is about 150 miles long, and 5 to 15 miles wide making it one of the largest gypsum playas in the United States.
Roadside view of miles of flat Arid Region in Wajir County Kenya. Coolest temperature here about 20°C with high of about 40°C Despite the dryness and very little rains all year round the bushes will provide adequate food for wild animals like envelopes. After travelling miles of this flat land I lost the bearing of directions ..
Taken last winter on a visit to York. The medieval city of York has this wonderful old wall encircling it which is fully open to the public. It dates back to Roman times although most of the Roman bits were replaced by another wall built by the Viking invaders around 1400 years ago. The current wall, while retaining elements of the Roman and Viking structures, dates back to construction that took place from the 12th to 14th century, so basically it's a pretty old wall. What a treat it was for me to capture this elderly gentleman in his traditional flat cap strolling along this part of the wall. But look closely because this is something I just can't figure out. He doesn't appear to have any hands! I have no idea why that is. I haven't touched this image other than to process it in the normal way. Very weird indeed.

A flat cap (sometimes "scally cap") is a rounded cap with a small stiff brim in front, originating in Great Britain and Ireland. The hat is known in Ireland as a paddy cap, in Scotland as a bunnet, in Wales as a Dai cap, in New Zealand as a cheese-cutter, and in the United States as a driving cap. Cloths used to make the cap include wool, tweed (most common), and cotton.
