Shooting from Alexandra Palace, North London
Alexandra Palace is an historic entertainment venue in Alexandra Park, North London. It is located between Muswell Hill and Wood Green, in the north of the city. It was originally opened in 1873 but was rebuilt in 1875 following a destructive fire.
In the recent years many “Reception Halls” became common in the villages of Cyprus, which cater for the typical Cypriot wedding receptions of 2-3 thousand guests. (I refer to the villages!)
These photos here show one such a hall getting prepared for a wedding dinner. Thousands of plastic chairs are stacked on the tables while workers are cleaning the floor.
Went to photograph the deer at Helmingham Hall today and after 3 hours of wandering i sat down on the bow of a tree to watch the Fallow deer as the light started to go. Then it got interesting.lol A mature fallow buck which had been under a tree behind me got up once the others started calling and wandered to the tree i was sitting on. He started calling scrapping the ground and and all that rutting stuff but kept looking at me!! Got loads of pictures and then carefully moved away and it turns out i had been sitting on the tree he rubs his antlers on before strutting his stuff. Glad i moved before he got fed up of waiting.
Sometimes planned trips do not get you to your destination without some problems, as you can see in this photo of our plane leaving during the rain.
I was determined to get there in time so that I could spend time with my son for his birthday on Dec. 11th. We made it and had dinner out today with him.
Happy Birthday to my dear son Steve with loads of love always!
My hair is getting silly long now and i am so enjoying it especially in this colder weather. Starting to get better at styling it although it rapidly disappearing from the front that could cause a few problems in the future but I can always go for fringe pieces or toppers.
Such a cosy outfit this turned out to be have to admit ive got the jumper on tonight with a shorter black skirt and tights and his slippers! not a great look from the ankles down lol
Well if this ent a slightly surreal place to be setting up camp for the night.. got a bit nippy down under these cliffs in the early hours too with a broken night heater...
Just learning to ride under a helpful eye. Seen while walking back from the beach near dusk. The background walker was too close in the best photo of the boy so she has been moved from the second photo when the boys leg was on the ground.
Have a good weekend when you get there. We are just 6 hours off it.
Left to right: Dave Gibbons, Cam Wilson, LJ Mounteney, Andy Millhouse, Brent Gubbels, and Allan Dionne. The core group is "The Wahs", which consists of Cam, Andy, and Brent.
The We're Here! gang is celebrating The Beatles today. As luck would have it, I went to a concert tonight that was having a Beatles celebration of its own.
The group performed almost exclusively late-period Beatles (there were a couple of early Beatles numbers too). Their creative arrangements were just wonderful, and included folk, Celtic, blues, jazz, and classical elements. Their five-part harmonies were delightful, and Cam's long, extraordinarily intricate fiddle riffs were beyond impressive. LJ's vocals were outstanding. It's no wonder she is sometimes referred to as the "Canadian Bonnie Raitt". For me, her vocal skills tied with Cam's fiddling for best performance.
Project: Get polarized!
I often find single use plastic straws, cups, bags, caps, and water bottles washed ashore. We can all do a better job by reducing these items on a daily basis

A trip down Route 66 wouldn't be complete without at least stopping to get a snapshot of the iconic Jack Rabbit Trading Post sign wedged between the highway and the former Santa Fe Railway's mainline as BNSF 7287 rumbles westward with a double-stack train on the afternoon of June 6, 2021, near Joseph City, AZ.
As winter draws nearer and daylight savings drew to a close, I once again find myself in the end-of-the-year hibernation that seems to have become an annual occurrence. Certainly a struggle to find the desire to want to shoot anything when darkness comes quick, the days get chillier, and probably most importantly, a lack of stuff I actually want to bag. So many things I would otherwise enjoy shooting have become nocturnal, and everything else is too far away to justify - be it time, distance, or cost to get there being the killer. A little burnout from a long year is the cherry on top of it all.
But, all is not lost. All it takes is the right thing to prod me and I'm out in the hot seat once again. A little heads-up that CN A407 had the venerable IC1000 leading it earlier in the day made me decide for once it would be worth jumping out of the house and taking a peek. I needed to run some errands anyway, why not have a look? Happily enough, I ran across the train as it was pulling up to Leverett Junction for a recrew. It was only a short wait until they were ready to go and moving - and I just couldn't resist going for the classic twin elevators of Leverett proper for a shot.
IC1000, class leader of the Illinois Central SD70s, has become the most coveted of all 26 all-black units today. Earlier this year, while in for its usual maintenance, the 1000 was given a gift: new white reflective tape to replace the ~17 year old yellow tape on the sill and footwells.
With a paint scheme as incredibly simple as the IC New Image "Death Star" is, even the smallest changes make a big difference - and wow, what a difference the white sill makes here. The addition of the AC and the - thankfully - tastefully small PTC antennae on the roof of the unit means you wouldn't fool anyone into thinking it would fit perfectly into the 1990s again... but it's pretty damn close. Although unlikely, it would be a real treat to see some more of the SD70s regain their white sills again. One can dream, anyway.
I've not had the best luck catching the IC1000 after its re-silling, so to get a chance to nab it again was a real delight. Some would complain about the CN-dressed IC1009 trailing, but I didn't terribly mind. No matter what trails, I'll never complain about getting to see the 1000 in the lead!

I really want to make sure I look my best this evening so I am taking extra care over my make up. Isn't make up wonderful you can make just the slightest adjustment with some eye shadow or liner or use a slightly lighter or darker shade of lipstick and you can look so much different which, in turn, can make you feel so much better and much more confident.
Boyd Hill Nature Preserve --
St. Petersburg, Florida
We did not find many butterflies or dragonflies on this visit to the preserve. We were told by one of the preserve officials that they had sprayed for mosquitoes recently and that was the reason.
I guess there are pros and cons to everything. But, I was able to get a few good shots of this beauty!
