Sunset from Caw Gap on Hadrian's Wall.
One of the best sunsets for a long while tonight, which seemed to last forerver. Stunning views along Hadrian's Wall tonight, great colour and layers of mist through the valley.

I took this shot a couple of years back in Ireland. It rained everyday, but when it cleared the views were breathtaking. I'm a little surprised at how the sky came out. I guess it's a combination of the sun forming halos on the clouds and the movement from the long exposure. It looks like an HDR, but it isn't...
Finally I have to give a huge thanks for all the kind comments that I have received over the last week! That really has been something else and I'll look forward to catching up with your streams soon. Have a great Friday :-)
And the end of a fabulous day in Kent. In the morning a very wet Sissinghurst and in the afternoon a very windy Jury's Gap. No choice for the evenings finery, has to be fish-n-chips. So back to the best, Ossie's of Faversham, a large cod and chips, cheap sliced white bread and butter, red sauce, salt-n-vinegar and copious cups of sweet tea, perfection!
Tomorrow, another day, only the morning free so a walk around Oare National Nature Reserve.
The Gap
My first post on here for a long while, will have to make more of an effort.
Just back from a quick visit up Scotland to the wonderful Glencoe. The night before We left I had to make a plan to be at a location for sunrise, not too far away though so We were not getting up at stupid o'clock to get there. Anyway I decided on Sycamore Gap, which is on the way and is only just over an hours journey. Checked the weather...not bad, checked the sun angle using LighTrac on My Ipad...spot on, the sun will light up the hills as it rises. Even picked My spot using Google Street View. Now all that sounds perfect but You never really know how the conditions will be and change until You are there, at the time. Thankfully the planning paid off, the weather was good, the sun came up and lit the hills as I had hoped and the spot I picked was really ideal. Planning paid off....this time. Hope You Enjoy it, and please keep checking back as I have a few nice shots from Scotland to share with You all. Thanks!

I found where the Ladybugs like to hang out in my backyard. They were all over this lime green, fern like plant I have in my yard. And they were all super busy doing whatever Ladybugs do in the morning.
While this image isn't in perfect focus, I enjoy it for other reasons: the action of this fearless little creature, the striking colors, and the softness of the bokeh. Not to mention the serendipity of it. This fearless bug didn't stop to consider the gap between the leaves. It just reach out and grabbed the next leaf and stepped across. If only we all could be so confident.

I contemplated stepping away from flickr for about a month or so, as I am suffering from post-365-depression and am now without the overhanging pressure to create an image regularly. Through the first three months of 2013, my photos have been all over the place, but now that I'm coming out of that post-365 phase, I'm trying to hone in on the spark of greatness that my photos have been hanging on the edge of. I wrote an in depth blog post about it here.
So I thought that for a month or so I would step back and practice creating art without feeling a need to post it online whether it was up to my standards or not or whether I thought people would like it or not, but I can't do it. I can't leave the community of flickr and even though it's scary to create images that aren't the popular style (which has been a style that I've been doing for my entire second 365), but I hope that you all will still hang out with me and support me in making this creative switch into making art that I'm proud of.
Returning from the Lakes I had to call in on the Roman Wall to see how things played out at Sycamore Gap. I tried a few ICM images as the weather was a bit flat.
Its been a long while since I have shot this waterfall. Its very very rain dependant and we got enough rain to make a waterfall.

The Ivestor Gap Trail is one of a number of trails which travel from the direction of the Blue Ridge Parkway into the Shining Rock Wilderness near Black Balsam. An old road bed, it manages to make a fairly level trek around peaks like Black Balsam and Tennent Mountain, but its rocky footing doesn't provide as easy of a trek as some might find on a return from peak bagging.
