This is one of the small fishing villages in the East Nuek of Fife, Scotland. The shot was taken just before sunrise just as the sun was adding colour to the sky. I went for a long exposure to soften the cloud and just calm the sea which had very slight movement.
If waiting for my last long exposure was like hell because of the midges, then this one was like heaven as everything was so calm and peaceful expect for the birds singing to welcome the new day, plus I've got my D810 back and it is working like a dream, i missed the detail that it catches.
There is a stairway right outside of Milsons Point train station which is the first stop after crossing Harbour Bridge (from the city side).
Not a stairway to heaven but a stairway onto Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Not heavenly but there is a very nice view. Probably one of the easiest accesses to the great view spot.
I'll show you the way 😊

very end of winter
I am just sorting out my photos from our September trip to Devon and the South Hams. There were some nice reflections to be seen at Brixham on the morning of our first day's walk.

Firstly I hate that ship on the left when taking this picture. So after taking it, I moved to another spot and got a clear view of the building. After transferring the pictures to my laptop, I realize the one without ship was kind of boring. So I choose this instead ^_^
Picture was taken during sunset and I add magenta tone in processing.
Bunschoten-Spakenburg is a beautiful village with wonderful authentic features, hospitable people and modern shops and catering establishments. There is still plenty of attention for history and culture, but one cannot put back the clock. Plenty of activities and wonderful events are held in this village, in addition to women in traditional costume and ‘old men’ telling their stories in Spakenburg dialect on a bench at the harbour. In short, this is the best of both worlds!
Bunschoten has an agrarian origin, which is evident from the many farms and rural character. Spakenburg was a real fishing village located at the Zuyder Zee, later the IJsselmeer. And this can also be seen in and around the harbours with many fishing boats and other beautiful ships. The centre of Spakenburg is located around the old museum harbour with an active wharf. The lovely shops, the Saturday market, the historical buildings, the museums and friendly cafés and restaurants with their outdoor cafés ensure a wonderful time in an authentic village. Everyone is welcome in Bunschoten-Spakenburg

Fowey Harbour is situated on the south coast of Cornwall, approximately halfway between Plymouth and Falmouth. The Harbour of Fowey is named after the town of the same name, situated on the western side of the mouth of the river Fowey, with Polruan opposite. The harbour is bounded by other towns and villages ; Bodinnick, Golant, Mixtow, Penpol, Lerryn, St Winnow and Lostwithiel. The Fowey rises on Bodmin Moor and, on average, 93 million gallons of water flow through the harbour each day.
Portofino has just over 500 permanent residents. But that all changes on summer days when the sun is shining and the yachting set drops anchor in the harbour to wander about. Boutiques, art galleries, cafes and restaurants line the tiny streets.
Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).

A view towards the castle headland across the East Harbour on a Foggy April afternoon.There was very little wind ad so the East Harbour was mill pond calm and allowed for the reflection of the yachts moored in the harbour.
Thanks for viewing this and other images in my photo stream.
One from a wander around Sutton Harbour in Plymouth a few weeks ago.
I wasn't expecting much but there was a bit of high cloud which meant a good chance of some colour but in the end, it ended up being a bit dull.
So, I've gone for a bit of split toning with this shot and warmed up the colours a bit.
