Another from Cart Gap a few weeks ago, and some lovely sunrise colour and wave movement round the groyne.
Always wanted to go and see the Sycamore Gap, on the way home from the Farne stopped off to see it, really it was the wrong time of the day for for landscape but pleased I went will probably go back and try again with this shot.

After a pretty dull dawn, the Sun found the gap on the horizon and gave us (a couple of other photographers were there) a show. I’ve been doing this a long time now and you just can’t ever tell what will happen. Show up and wait.

Operations image of the week:
May and early June were busy months for NASA’s Cassini orbiter, as a series of complex link-ups with ESA and NASA stations supported ‘radio science’ as part of the mission’s Grand Finale.
In radio science, specialists analyse the signals transmitted by Cassini to Earth to extract important information on how gravity affects the craft’s motion or how matter through which the signals travel affects them.
Cassini is focusing on probing Saturn’s interior by mapping the planet’s gravity to an unprecedented level of detail, and determining the rings’ total mass to help understand how they formed.
This striking image was taken by Cassini’s two cameras. It is possible to see the outer edge of the Encke Gap in the outer portion of Saturn’s A ring. The uneven patterns in the ringlet appear and disappear through the gravitational influence of moon Pan, orbiting in the gap.
Cassini is providing insight into how and when the rings formed, as well as their relation with Saturn and its moons. The team working on these new fundamental measurements is all European.
The observations require a meticulous sequence of contacts with ground stations, making use of five NASA Deep Space Network antennas plus ESA’s Deep Space Antennas at Malargüe, Argentina, and New Norcia Australia. Some of these link-ups with Cassini will run for over eight hours.

it`s been a while since my last oportunity to shoot some snowboarding with style. daniel, the rider, has a lot of style to offer...

as usual i used two yn 560 III manual speedlights. one main-light from the front left and one for a sidelight from the right. triggered with the yn 560tx remote trigger on a canon 7d mark II and with a tamron sp 70-300 vc di usd.
Series of five including two videos. Monday it was very windy and very little was flying. The sea was nearly on hightide and starting to wash the bottom on the cliffs at Birling Gap. One pic shows a recent cliff fall which has led to the National Trust cafe being closed. They intend to move it further inland. Erosion has taken many buildings in this particular area and does not intend to stop any time soon!
Sycamore Gap: Hadrians Wall at Once Brewed, UK, 1991 featured in the Alan Rickman & Kevin Costner Movie „Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.“
The tree was felled in the early morning of 28 September 2023.
The Sycamore Gap tree is one of most photographed in the country. It stands in a dramatic dip in Hadrian’s Wall in the Northumberland National Park. In late 2016 it took the crown for English Tree of the Year in the Woodland Trust’s awards.
When I first visited Birling Gap in 1996 there was still at least 5 cottages as opposed to the current 4. By 2058 the cliff line is expected to have receded so that all four cottages shall have disappeared and the current visitor centre (formerly the Birling Gap Hotel) shall likewise have gone into the sea.

Lydd Ranges is a military firing range south of Lydd, in Kent, England. It extends as far as the coast.
It has been used for military training for over 150 years and is part of the Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay Site of Special Scientific Interest.Because the range is used for live firing access is sometimes restricted - red flags are flown during these times, access is prohibited along the foreshore and Galloways Road. Also red lights are shown at restricted times due to poor weather. The Danger area extends out to sea and mariners sailing to and from Rye Harbour must pass south of the Stephenson Shoal to avoid it. Firing occurs about 300 days a year. When firing is not carried out, it may be possible to walk along a designated path along the shore
On our way to see the company that is going to make my son's officer's sword took a detour. By now it was lashing down with rain! I do not see that house surviving there much longer.
Best viewed in large.
This sycamore tree sits alone and sheltered in the dip of a hill right next to Hadrian's Wall. For the movie buffs among you, Kevin Costner fought some ruffians at it in "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves".
Taken at the start of Ingles Field Gap Trail. The harsh afternoon light was nicely filtered by the woods.
had put down some from here but to cheer up the day...sharing a fav image from the gap.....have a good weelkend

An old scan from a 5x4 transparency (Velvia 50) of the now-lost tree at sycamore gap. I would have been using a Shen Hao field camera and 90mm lens, and by the angle of the light I assume this was taken early one morning in early spring. Scanned on a Howtek drum scanner and left on my hard drive for perhaps a decade.
The icon and world famous sycamore tree
A youth is in custody today charged with felling the tree.

It was made famous in the 1991 film ‘Robin Hood, Prince of thieves’. Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman had a great scene on Hadrian’s wall next to the tree.
It’s a sad world we live in when someone so young has to damage this beautiful tree, and stop others from enjoying its splendour.
There’s also a tourism trade in the area, and this is significant for them.
We visited in 2016 and 2022.
