Flat on my back to take this shot...
Leucojum aestivum is a perennial bulbous plant, generally 35–60 cm tall, but some forms reach 90 cm. Its leaves, which are well developed at the time of flowering, are strap-shaped, 5–20 mm wide, reaching to about the same height as the flowers. The flowering stem (scape) is hollow and has wings with translucent margins. The pendant flowers appear in late spring and are borne in umbels of usually three to five, sometimes as many as seven. The flower stalks (pedicels are of different lengths, 25–70 mm long. The flowers are about 3–4 cm in diameter and have six white tepals, each with a greenish mark just below the tip. The black seeds are 5–7 mm long.
After flowering, the fruits develop flotation chambers but remain attached to the stem. In England, it has been recorded that flooding causes the stems to break and the fruits to be carried downstream and stranded in river debris or on flood-plains. The bulbs can also be transported during heavy floods and deposited on river banks. (Wikipedia)

Candid eye contact street photography from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The flat cap being almost synonymous with the North of England. Enjoy!
An eastward Norfolk Southern coal train with a freshly rebuilt SD60E works at Yards on the Virginia/West Virginia border as a westward stack train heads for Williamson, West Virginia. This is very obviously Norfolk & Western territory as evidenced by the color position light signals which have since been replaced as part of PTC upgrades. While I missed out on some really cool power back in the day, I'm glad I got to see the famed Pocahontas District mainline from Bluefield to Williamson before it lost all its old signals.
A cacophony of groans, squeals, and thumps fill the air as the Grand Rapids Eastern crosses the worn Flat River Bridge in Lowell, MI. The crew is busy switching the railroad's largest customer, King Milling, situated on the banks of the Flat River. The 600' wooden bridge, which carried the C&O's Turkey Trail across the Flat River, is quite unique in that it spans an island in the middle of the river. Researching the bridge has provided little information, so if anyone knows more about this unique structure, please let me know!
Skookum Flats is an easy almost flat hike that follows the White River meandering through a forest of Pine and Fir with lots of wonderful ferns filling in the rest. That is until you get to Skookum Falls. In a snow storm the hillside got a wee slippery so much so that at one point going down I gave up and just sat down and slid. :-)
Gertrude awaits just over two miles that a way, I saw a lady running through the snow with her dog near the trail head, after that I had the forest to myself. Great day! :-)
If you are wearing gortex blow it up and climb inside.
The top floor had terrified me, quite frankly. Even Michael didn't like it and he's as stoic and calm as they come. We quickly descended to the floor below and walked through the long corridors, lined by these rectangular spaces, each which would have been a room in someone's flat.
In another life.
I always imagine building sites and occasionally these derelict places having wall-to-wall glass when finished. That's never the case - glass is expensive and I guess people need wall space to put stuff against. But still, in my head I could see this as a finished room with the hole in front of me as one giant. It would be marvellous.

Looking at photos of Birdlings Flat in New Zealand, this sim is an amazing recreation.
Just took my second visit to Spruce Flat Falls in the Tremont area of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A really beautiful waterfall luckily photographed in nearly perfect conditions. I only had to deal with some light breeze created by the waterfall itself.
The hike is about 2.2 miles roundtrip and is of moderate difficulty.
Thanks for viewing my photos. Comments are always welcome. Please visit www.reidnorthrupphotography.com if interested in purchasing prints.

Near the Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache, the salt of a dried-up lake forms amazing honeycomb patterns.
The Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache are a group of 7 pools averaging 5 meters in diameter and up to 6 meters deep with a very high salinity (about 220 g/l).
They are located in the remains of a dried-up salt lake southwest of San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) and can only be approached by car via a 45-kilometer dirt road.

Apparently the road is bumpy. Let's fix this flat and get back on the road.

Another from the way-way back machine of my archives, this image harkens back to my film days sometime in the late 90's, digitized a few years back. Original image was shot with an Olympus OM-1 and a Tamrom 90mm Æ’2.8 Adaptall mount.
The El Charco de San Gines also known as San Gines Lagoon is an inner inner harbour in the town of Arrecife, Lanzarote. It is often referred to as the "Venice of Lanzarote."
