Flat Holm is a small island some 6km off the south Wales coast. It has an interesting and diverse history that includes pilgrims and smugglers, a cholera isolation facility and military fortifications in the late 1800's and second world war.
The still operational lighthouse was completed in 1738 and a nearby foghorn was built in 1906. In the late 1800's, Flat Holm was used as an isolation sanitorium for arriving sailors who had cholera and a dedicated hospital was built. The hospital was closed in 1935, the derelict remains of which are the main subject in this image.
Flat Holm has just one permeant resident - a warden - but allows small numbers of volunteers and visitors during the summer months, who can enjoy the history, tranquility - and Wales' most southerly bar, The Gull and Leek!

Australian National 'World' Alco 955 trundles into the yard at Port Flat (Port Adelaide) with an early morning transfer move of loaded grain hoppers from the Dry Creek yards on 14 December 1991. By the time this image was taken, the active members of the '930 class' was down to single digits and 955 only had another six months in service.
Between 1955-1967, 37 Alco DL500B units had been built in Australia by AE Goodwin, under licence, for the state government owned South Australian Railways. Ownership was transferred to the federally owned Australian National in 1978.

The Flatiron Building at the south corner of Madison Square, where Broadway intersects 5th Avenue, is one of the best known skyscrapers of New York City and certainly belongs to the list of most photographed buildings in the world. Completed in 1902 it was designated a New York City landmark in 1966. Today, it is an office building, but there are plans to turn it into a luxury hotel.
In this scene I like the arrangement of the taxicabs, giving depth to the image. The dark-blue of the sky (thanks to Photoshop!) is intended to provide an agreeable contrast to the yellow of the cabs.
Population of 6.
Tortilla Flat is a small unincorporated community in far eastern Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. It is located in the central part of the state, northeast of Apache Junction. It is the last surviving stagecoach stop along the Apache Trail. According to the Gross Management Department of Arizona's main U.S. Post Office in Phoenix, Tortilla Flat is presumed to be Arizona's smallest official "community" having a U.S. Post Office and voter's precinct. The town has a population of 6. Tortilla Flat can be reached by vehicles on State Route 88, via Apache Junction.
Originally a camping ground for the prospectors who searched for gold in the Superstition Mountains in the mid-to-late 19th century, Tortilla Flat was later a freight camp for the construction of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. From this time (1904) on, Tortilla Flat has had a small (<100 people) but continuous population. A flood in 1942 badly damaged the town, resulting in many residents moving away. Today Tortilla Flat is owned and operated by Alvin Ross, a farmer from Indiana who purchased the town in 1998. The town is made up primarily of a small store and restaurant, which were constructed in the late 1980s after a fire consumed the existing store and restaurant on the same site. Several hiking trails into the Superstition Mountains begin near Tortilla Flat.
Eastern Gulf of Finland National Park. The National Park includes the outer archipelago of the easternmost coastal municipalities. The hundred islands and islets of the park are scattered onto a large open sea area, which is 60 km wide, and far from the mainland or the inhabited islands. Gulf of Finland National Park is included in the network of the most important protected areas in the Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area. On the Russian side of the border, Gulf of Finland National Park is being planned, which will add to this complex.

It is hard to believe that I was seeing a hint of fall colors on September 9th but I am certainly not complaining. After a long hard day of hiking in the Shining Rock Wilderness my friend and I set up camp on the Flat Laurel creek. I found this spot a couple hundred yards downstream and it was a fantastic end to an excellent day of hiking. I was hoping for a bit more color in the sky but the light pretty much fizzled out after this shot.

Whites, reds, golds, yellows and greens on the salt flats near Whitehorse in southern Yukon. This is a low lying area of mud flat/salt flat not far from the Takhini river. I wasn’t sure what the red plant growing from the mud was while I was there, but on my return home, I did some research and discovered that it is called Boreal Saltwort (Salicornia borealis), and that it is considered critically imperilled in Canada. This makes me think that hiking around the Takhini Salt Flats should only be done with great care so as to avoid disturbing these amazing plants. All of that said, perhaps it is the erosion caused by animal and human activity in the area that keeps the grasses from overrunning the Saltwort altogether. Who knows? It would be nice to see some work done on this, and signs posted accordingly.
Photo taken with the Canon EOS R and RF 24-105mm f/4.0 L. Image processed from raw in Adobe Lightroom. The image was straightened slightly and cropped in just a little from the left. Otherwise, it has not been modified except for basic adjustments to exposure, colour, and light to make it as natural as possible. Like a couple of my other images from the day's outing, this would have been a wonderful photo to process as a focus stack, but in the end, it is a single exposure shot at f/8 to maximize depth of field without inducing diffraction.
Saw the sun rising over Flat Iron Mountain at Lost Dutchman State Park this morning and knew I needed a shot. Or 12. Went monochrome because the colors were just not working out.
This sculpture by Judy Millar is called Call Me Snake.
The sculpture is made of five intersecting flat planes of wood on a steel frame. The panels are clad in printed photographs of brushstrokes created by Millar and magnified by ten. It is Millar's first public artwork and will be on the city centre site for two years.
This has been the warmest spell of February weather I can remember. Warm sunshine and almost flat calm water at Burghead harbour. Global warming for sure...
