Demon 1: "This Is The Gateway To Hell. Expect A Eternity Of Punishment For Your Sins, Starting With Gluttony!"
Me: "Cool! I Used To Work For The Gov't, I'm A Glutton For Punishment."
Demon 1: "What?"
Demon 2: "Hey! We're Gonna Need A Supervisor Up Here!"
I had to move quick to get round to that spot within 20 seconds on the self-timer.
Up on Chrome Hill looking across to Parkhouse and Glutton Bridge. Derbyshire Peak District.
It was a bit hazy with the mist billowing up
I climbed over Parkhouse and then dropped down to Glutton Bridge and walked back to my car parked below Chrome. Wet grass made a mockery of my Gortex lined boots

Geologically the hill is the remains of an atoll ("reef knoll") which is believed to have existed during the Carboniferous period when what is now the Peak District was covered by a tropical sea.
The second in a series of possibly two over-processed daisies. In fact? Over-processed daisy as this is the same one as before. I gluttoned my way through too many daisies a while ago and now I'm strictly rationed. Hence the dead-headed stalk.
These birds are amazing gluttons. I watched as this bird swallowed a large peanut whole and then took another nut for the road.
From my only meeting with the wolverine in Finland, in perfect evening light.
I've posted this before in a wider version, but I liked them both- so here's the second version ツ

Last night I finally met the wolverine for the first time!
After having a bear spending some time really close to our hide in "Pine Forest", the wolverine suddenly showed up in the amazing light that filled the forest. Luckily it stayed close for a while as well.
Later we got two more bear visits. They spent some time only a couple of meters outside our hide(!), and it was super exciting! I got so many great photos that I look forward to show later on.
I just loved this photography spot and the amazing light we had. It´s sad that we don´t have the time to go back (this time). Tonight we will spend our last hours here, back in the hides by beautiul "Lake"- hoping for more reflections than we had the last time in the rain.

Braves Arbeitstier ist die Baureihe 111 und zwischen München und Treuchtlingen aktuell noch unermüdlich im Einsatz. Am 26. August 2016 passierte 111 219 mit ihrem RE 57314 bei Hagenacker die für diese Gegend charakteristischen Felsformationen.
A brave glutton for work are the class 111 engines. Here you can see 111 219 with it's RegionalExpress 57314 to Treuchtlingen passing some characteristic rocks of the natural park around the Altmühl river (26th of August 2016).
Does anyone know the name of this creature (besides 'glutton' ) ? It is barely 1cm in length.

If you haven't already guessed from my Flickr ID, I knit. I have always meant to catalog my projects over the years, but have been inconsistent. And when I have, it has always been just a boring full shot--important to have for me, but boring none-the-less. Here is an attempt at doing something a little more interesting.
The pattern is from Jane Sowerby's book, "Victorian Lace Today." The pattern is "A Fichu" featuring the Harebell Lace panel, which is to the right of the photo.
I knit this using 3.25mm diameter needles, so you might say that I'm a glutton for punishment.
'Junk bondage takeover glutton
Ready to bore in
Unfold his rotary blades inside
Pull the guts out and resell them...'
After saying my last post was my last current post a final shot from Christmas.
The view south east from Hollins Hill. The River Dove runs in the trees in the foreground draining the marshy land running up to Nabend. As in Beresford Dale, the wet land marks the join between the limestone and the gritstone.
Fun fact #1 - the River Dove is the border between Derbyshire and Staffordshire for its whole length, from rising at Dove Head Spring to flowing into the River Trent near Burton. However, on the 1:25000 first edition map (c.1950) the border leaves the river at Glutton Bridge and runs to the top of Nabend before returning to the river about 200 yards further upstream.
Fun fact #2 - The rough land above the barn on the right of the shot, to the right of the road, drains into the River Manifold which joins the Dove 12 miles away at Ilam.

Close to the longest day - evening on Hitter Hill. I was waiting to try to observe the double sunset from the phone box at Glutton Bridge
"Battling beauties!"
Here is my first series of "Hummer wars". Hummingbirds of all varieties are amazingly territorial and will chase each other to no end when they feel threatened or guarding "Their" feeder or flowers. Like many other small birds and mammals, I find the challenge of capturing these speed demons in pairs very rewarding. It certainly rates as one of the most difficult behaviors to photograph, as many of my photographer friends can attest to, but l am a glutton for punishment!
One fine morning, I saw the leaves of my spider plants eaten away…
Close examination showed this guy and many of his family and friends feasting on my plants!

Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia. This shot was taken with film and negative last century! The apostle closest to the camera collapsed and fell into the sea a few years ago and is no more... (For those of you interested in the camera settings, I do not have those anymore unfortunately. This was shot with Fujicolor film at ISO 400.)
Harnser on a mission, not just Moles, Voles, Fish, rats, Stoats on the menu, but lots of young waterbirds, rich pickings await, Lakenheath fen.

Out for a dog walk earlier and pulled over here for a quick snapshot.
Parkhouse Hill is a small but distinctive hill in the Peak District National Park in the English county of Derbyshire. It lies on the north side of the River Dove, close to the border with Staffordshire.
Geologically, the hill is the remains of an atoll (a 'reef knoll') which is believed to have existed during the Carboniferous period when what is now the Peak District was covered by a tropical sea. Together with its higher but less distinctive neighbour, Chrome Hill, it forms the Chrome and Parkhouse Hills SSSI, cited for their geology and limestone flora.
For many years access to Parkhouse Hill was difficult, as there was no right of way to the summit. Access is now possible under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, as the hill is a designated access area.
In 1997, the writer Jeff Kent discovered that a double sunset could be seen against Parkhouse Hill from nearby Glutton Grange and, two years later, the phenomenon was first captured on film by the photographer Chris Doherty. The occurrence is visible in good weather in late March, early April and September, when the sun sets just to the south of the summit of the hill, begins to re-emerge almost immediately afterwards from its steep northern slope before fully reappearing and later sets for a second and final time at the foot of the hill. The precise event and its location are described in Kent's book The Mysterious Double Sunset.

As promised, this is the video of how the series "One in Six" was created. It is a montage video of the photos taken.
Some people like to know how the sausage is made or are a glutton for punishment.
This is not Instagram. Sorry for the black screen opening.

Every year I teach a unit on editing photos and the final project is to create a composite image based on fantasy/surrealistic art. Usually always do the projects with them because it keeps them motivated. This was this year’s piece. Had a lot of fun working on this story — which is from a dream I had in late 2020.
Gannets are seabirds comprising the genus Morus, in the family Sulidae, closely related to boobies.
The gannets are large black and white birds with yellow heads; long, pointed wings; and long bills. Northern gannets are the largest seabirds in the North Atlantic, with a wingspan of up to 2 metres. The other two species occur in the temperate seas around southern Africa, southern Australia and New Zealand.
Gannets hunt fish by diving from a height into the sea and pursuing their prey underwater. Gannets have a number of adaptations which enable them to do this:
- they have no external nostrils, they are located inside the mouth instead;
- they have air sacs in their face and chest under their skin which act like bubble wrapping, cushioning the impact with the water;
- their eyes are positioned far enough forward on their face to give them binocular vision, allowing them to judge distances accurately.
Gannets can dive from a height of 30 metres, achieving speeds of 100 km/h as they strike the water, enabling them to catch fish much deeper than most airborne birds.
The gannet's supposed capacity for eating large quantities of fish has led to "gannet" becoming a disapproving description of somebody who eats excessively, similar to "glutton".
Gannets are colonial breeders on islands and coasts, normally laying one chalky, blue egg. It takes five years for gannets to reach maturity. First-year birds are completely black, and subsequent sub-adult plumages show increasing amounts of white.
The most important nesting ground for Northern gannets is the United Kingdom with about two thirds of the world's population. These live mainly in Scotland, including the Shetland Isles. The rest of the world's population is divided between Canada, Ireland, Faroe Islands and Iceland, with small numbers in France (they are often seen in the Bay of Biscay), the Channel Islands, Norway and a single colony in Germany on Heligoland. The biggest Northern gannet colony is in the Scottish islands of St Kilda; this colony alone comprises 20% of the entire world's population.

My thoughts are so far away from God. He might as well not have made me. And feeling I egg up writing here lasts approximately a half hour and seems a sham. I don’t want any of this artificial superficial feeling stimulated by the choir. Today I have proved myself a glutton-for Scotch outmeal cookeies and erotic thought. There is nothing lift to say of me.
