Another image from my visit to Carlyon Bay in Cornwall. I originally processed this image in colour, but felt these rugged rocks worked best in B&W......waiting for the snow that is due to hit us in Cornwall today !!!
Lights extending along the southside of Newcastle Harbour ...and along the breakwall to Nobby's Head lighthouse.
Nobby's Head was originally a small rock island. In 1818 work was commenced, using convict labour, to build a pier connecting it to the mainland.
It took 38 years to complete, with many lives lost. ☹
Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.

Not been out for a while, this is from my last trip out. To me the rocks look like an arrowhead pointing out to sea.
A colourful sunrise with boats, high cloud and reflections at Koolewong Waterfront on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.
Another from my early-ish morning jaunt to Merkland Point, Arran last month.
I'll have to resist piling in and posting too many images from the day ! ;-)
Being my favorite photo from 2021, N463 powers out of Warrnambool by the Foreshore in some crisp morning light, on it's way to Melbourne Southern Cross. 5/07/21.
Mill Beach, Cuttagee, NSW Far South Coast, Australia. A stitch of three frames taken with a full spectrum converted Pentax K5, with smc PENTAX (K) 30mm f2.8 lens and KolariVision IRChrome filter.
The classic view of the Humber Bridge from Hessle Foreshore looking across to the Lincolnshire side. It had been a glorious morning with fabulous colours in the sky. A good first visit and one to return to later in the year.
Another one from the archives, this one just processed and taken in December 2018. I had wanted to take some shots from this location on the Thames foreshore for a while. There have been a few other pictures by others but not many. For a start it requires low tide in the evening and a reasonable day. I had checked tide times and low tide came 40 minutes after sunset and also showers were due to clear to blue skies by the evening which they did just in time. The scene now is very different to earlier pictures with 3 tall new skyscrapers nearing completion on the western side of the Canary Wharf financial district for this view from Rotherhithe. These are the 3 on the right of this image. This shot was taken at 4.30 pretty much at low tide.
I did some advance research using Street View which includes some parts of the riverside Thames Path to find the stairs down to the foreshore. The area is close to Doubletree Hilton Hotel and going west from there the first alley after the Blacksmiths Arms leads to the steps. These are very slippery with a railing for only part of them so a lot of care was needed. It is not exactly easy to get to. The nearest Underground is Canada Water and then the C10 bus which goes right past.
The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 zoom at 17mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing for HDR. The picture was enhanced with HDR processing using contrast optimiser setting in Photomatix for a natural look; Topaz clarity was used for more detail. In Photoshop some adjustments were made using Transform and distort to straighten 2 of the skyscrapers using a selection to avoid affecting the rest of the image. Heal and Clone tools were used to remove cranes from the 3 new skyscrapers
