interesting sandstone forms in the lower Antelope Slot Canyon outside of Page Arizona, What do you see?
This is called a slot canyon, a narrow rift in the sandstone which can be 35' deep and at times almost too narrow to walk through. Other area's the canyon widens out to 20 ~30 feet. The sandstone swirls are formed by flooding water and wind currents over many many years. The Canyon featured is called "Lower Antelope Canyon" and Lower and Upper are both located just 5 miles east of Page Arizona

Kinderdijk, Netherlands.
This sunrise last October at Kinderdijk was certainly one of my most intense experiences. We arrived long before dawn, and the whole scenery was covered in mist and the windmills were hardly visible. No one was around to disturb the eerie atmosphere.
The small light house at the end of Travemünde pier. It marks the mouth of river Trave and the approach to the Scandinavia quay, destination for many ferries from the Baltic states.

Without hesitation, I decided to join this excursion tour at the port of Skagway during my Alaska cruise, when I saw its title “Skagway in Focus - Guided Photography Adventure”, hoping to explore some of the strategic photographic “adventure” spots which otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to visit on my own within the few hours’ stay at the stop-over port. I wasn’t disappointed:-)

- of a different kind from the previous eponymous shot. Night lights, buildings, skyline and darkness - yet all these similarities in subject couldn't be more different...
I've walked this path many times, but normally in the opposite direction, and so I'd never appreciated the nice swoop the guided busway makes here.
I had to recrop this one after the fact because I was rushed to get this one shot: I'd sped up to get ahead of a pedestrian so I could take this shot, and I only had this instance before he would overtake me again getting in the frame. Thank goodness for enough pixels to let me re-compose after.
Macro Mondays theme: Father
This is a section of the leatherette cover of one of the four volumes of Audel's Carpenters and Builders Guide that my father gave me before he died. It is packed with useful information that he used for many things, including designing and building the two story extension to my family home. Each time I look at these books on my shelf I think of my father who was born 100 years ago. Sadly he died at the age of 91. I don't use it for anything practical (the internet is much easier) but it is a treasured memorial to the old man.
This is a quote from the frontispiece:
When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! This our father did for us!"
~John Ruskin

This delightful young lady was our guide when we were spending one day in Croatia ,on a Danube cruise. We moored at Vukovar & were driven to the beautiful old town of Osijek . We were amusingly entertained by a comical fisherman & then had a lunch with a local family. Our guide kept us well informed in a most pleasant manner , throughout..
Journey again in another view. The old guide alway walked ahead. When the we left behind far away. He stopped and looked at us in silence. He was wordless and never laugh not like any other guide I have ever met. Maybe he wasn't a guide but a local peasant paid to show us the way.
However, he was cool not only in character but also in pose.

season 1 _ episode one
This lovely little lighthouse is a short drive up the coast at Blyth. I usually see it as I drive further afield as heading further afield is something I enjoy. I often stop here on the way back from somewhere and either the light isn't great or I've had my fill of shooting for the day. Anyhow I've finally got round to it...
