Rame Head, Cornwall
Following on from the 2am night shoot of the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash – Brunel’s masterpiece and a bucket list location for me personally, our next destination was Rame Head and a chance to get some shuteye before sunrise. By the time Geoff and I had surfaced Mark was already gone and shooting… no surprises there!
It must have been all the travelling and lack of sleep (I do like my minimum 8 hours kip) that I found this location difficult to shoot and have by-passed it so far with my uploads, but there is always something to pull out of the hat. Bland into dramatic I like to think… a bit like Lyle’s Golden Syrup – out of the strong came forth sweetness.
If you don’t get the association, have a look at a tin of Lyle’s
I had a great day following the wonderful rivers in the neath valley, chasing waterfalls. I managed to do my usual trick of losing a filter, then tracing my steps till I found it again. Only 200 yards away thankfully. I was then like Bambi on ice as I did a mad dance on the ultra slippy wet algae covered rocks. All in all a fantastic time. Falling slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova is obvious, but it should probably be falling very suddenly, luckily I never hit the deck.
I was interested to see where and how gar the dye had travelled. I quite like this somewhat unusually coloured daffodil.

In 1887, following a much publicized period of discernment and debate concerning moving the congregation away from Shelton Square, Mrs. Trueman G. Avery, a faithful member of the congregation who lived at the site now occupied by Kleinhans Music Hall, donated a parcel of land across the circle at the corner of Wadsworth and Pennsylvania Streets in memory of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen G. Austin. Thus begins the story of the present edifice, designed by the renowned architectural firm of Green & Wicks. Following a well published design competition the winning design by the architectural firm of Edward Brodhead Green & William Sidney Wicks stood out from the other three finalists, it was noted for its Romanesque exterior, Byzantine-revival styled sanctuary and tall central tower that would dominate the skyline of late 19th century Buffalo through the present day.
Ground breaking took place and the first services were held in the newly built chapel on September 11, 1889, then on December 13, 1891 the first services were held in the newly constructed sanctuary. However the new building was not dedicated until after the completion of the tower on May 16, 1897

As I am following the chronology of the trip I should now be heading North again. However I could not resist posting another shot from the Lofoten Islands. This is the incredibly beautiful village of Reine a fishing village which is located on the island of Moskenesøya .It was a long drive from Svolvar to Reine but when I turned a bend in the road and saw the village my jaw just dropped. I have a lot of shots of the Lofotens so will be returning to them in the future but tomorrow we carry on North towards Tromso
A little bit of information on the Lofoten Islands from wiki
Lofoten is an archipelago in the county of Nordland, Norway. Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude. Lofoten is known for its distinctive scenery with mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands.
Lofoten is located at the 68th and 69th parallels north of the Arctic Circle in Norway. Lofoten encompasses the several principal islands, running from north to south are: Hinnøya, Austvågøy, Gimsøy ,Vestvågøy, Flakstadøya and Moskenesøya. Winter temperatures in Lofoten are very mild considering its location north of the Arctic Circle .This is a result of the Gulf Stream and its extensions: the North Atlantic Current and the Norwegian Current. Røst and Værøy are the most northerly locations in the world where average temperatures are above freezing all year.
What Wiki forgot to say is that these Islands are astonishingly beautiful…if you have a few quid spare go and visit them
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

Following the Missouri River, Burlington Northern’s Helena local passes by Hardy, Montana, on August 25, 1993. This train is traveling from Great Falls to Helena on BN’s scenic Helena Subdivision, which unfortunately is no longer in service.
Right on the heels of this mornings' Metra Rush hour was CP 470-30 with a nice GW orange leader, crossing over to #2 main off the WWD Siding. Whomever works the former DM&E shops out there does a damn admirable job of keeping all that power looking good. Any other place, that yellow pilot would be way disgusting! Rondout, IL.
Following a shower of rain the previous day this lovely Song Thrush came out into the open to look for worms,digging its bill furiously into the earth at times.
Following right on the heels of a westbound loaded grain train which has been dogging it up Winston Hill, Montana Rail Link's 840 local crew is running on approaches on their return trip to Helena after a quick run over to Townsend to switch the lime plant. The pair of immaculate SD40-2XR's are splitting a set of classic Northern Pacific Searchlights at the appropriately named control point of East Winston.
The Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), is one of Britains most brightly coloured and interesting birds...Kingfishers are widespread, especially in central and southern England, becoming less common further north, however, following some declines last century, they are currently increasing in their range in Scotland.
Kingfishers are found by still or slow flowing water such as lakes, canals and rivers in lowland areas. In winter, some individuals move to estuaries and the coast. Occasionally they may visit suitably sized garden ponds...
Male kingfishers and female kingfishers are are almost identical except for an orange colouration with a black tip on the lower part of the females beak/mandibles. Young kingfishers are similar to the adults in appearance, however, they have duller and greener upperparts, paler underparts, black beak and initially, black legs.
Kingfishers have very keen eyesight...The kingfisher has monocular vision (in which each eye is used separately) in the air and binocular vision (in which both eyes are used together) in water...The underwater vision is not as a sharp as in the air, however, the ability to judge the distance of moving prey is more important than the sharpness of the image..."

Following Germany's surrender and the end of the war, the governments of East Berlin and West Berlin restored it in a joint effort. The holes were patched, but were visible for many years following the war.
Vehicles and pedestrians could travel freely through the gate, located in East Berlin, until the Berlin Wall was built, 13 August 1961. Brandenburg Gate border crossing was later closed on 14 August 1961. West Berliners gathered on the western side of the gate to demonstrate against the Berlin Wall, among them West Berlin's governing Mayor Willy Brandt, who had spontaneously returned from a federal election campaigning tour in West Germany earlier on the same day. It was closed throughout the Berlin Wall period until 22 December 1989.
The following day we drove past Mecca, down long straight roads lined with groves of immaculately arrayed lemon trees. Here and there we saw columns of pickup trucks with groups of gum-chewing brown skinned men leaning against the dusty fenders, who seemed resigned to wait for some higher power to call on them to start the harvest. The asphalt gave way to silt and stones eventually, and we found ourselves driving through the desert toward a sunscorched mountain range where lay our manifest, our canyon destination.
Following the two days Hongkong visit of the president of D.R. Congo was finished, the presidential flight returned to Kinshasa via Abu Dhabi as DRC1.
Smile On Saturday: "Handle" theme
It's a carved wooden cane that my father had that has the words "Carib Reserve Dominica" written on the handle. It's a pretty cool cane with a woven covering on the shaft. I have no idea where or how my dad got it, as I don't believe that he was ever in the Caribbean island country of Dominica.
I did some quick research and found the following: "The Carib Reserve, now known as the Kalinago Territory, is a 3,700-acre district in Dominica set aside for the Kalinago people, the indigenous inhabitants of the island." The name change of the district occurred in 2015.

Floro made a gorgeous headdres and the hud has so many options that you can make it extremely unique to you so zoom in for full detail. I decided to give it a Byzantium-era acolyte edge by adding the facechains by Unholy and the VelvetVue Dots eyes for a bit of intrigue.
All can be found at Midnight Order and the Sabbath events right now.

Last night, following a spontaneous inspiration, I went to the Schrammsteine in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
At first, I was worried it would be too crowded up there. But during the hike,
I realized already, that most of the day visitors were already on their way back. A huge advantage for me, since I live right around the corner.
And so, despite it being a Saturday evening, the crowds at the lookout point were limited (although I was by no means the only one), and I was able to relax and enjoy the view.
Gestern Abend war ich, einer spontanen Eingebung folgend, auf den Schrammsteinen im Elbsandsteingebirge.
Ich hatte erst bedenken, dass es dort oben zu voll sein würde. Doch schon während des Aufstieges
stellte ich fest, dass die meisten Tagesbesucher schon auf dem Rückweg waren. Ein großer Vorteil für mich, da ich gleich um die Ecke wohne.
Und so hielt sich der Besucherandrang auf dem Aussichtspunkt trotz Samstag Abend auch in Grenzen (auch wenn ich bei weitem nicht der einzige war) und ich konnte diesen Ausblick entspannt geniessen.
After an overnight snowfall in the city, in the following morning I went to a big garden in the center of my town, with my first reflex camera.
This is one of those photos, kept for many years before digitizing it.
The emulsion of the print and the years have worked on it giving now, an image with vintage tones.
Una mattina, al risveglio dopo una discreta nevicata notturna, raggiunsi il parco Sempione per fare un pò di foto, con la mia prima reflex.
Questa è una di quelle foto, la conservai per anni prima di avere la possibilità di digitalizzarla.
L'emulsione della stampa e gli anni hanno lavorato su di essa in maniera inesorabile, regalandole però un'atmosfera molto particolare dai toni decisamente vintage.

and of course, we know who the leader is.
What cracks me up in this is how the 3 littles are following mom but their attention is in all different directions, LOL.
No crop on this. They were across the river from camp.
