This is something not often seen in the south of the UK: freezing fog covering exposed twigs, branches or taller plants with layers of solid ice.

I tried to position myself at the breaking zone on the front stretch where they began braking and downshifting. Was hoping for some shots with a few flames coming out of the exhaust but I really wasn't seeing much.
At any rate, I found a section of the fence that was not as fortified as the majority of the fence around the front stretch, which is why I'm a little behind the car.
To my surprise, 200mm was able to get me pretty close without the need for much cropping. Only snipped a bit off the front to even out the shot. More was lost going from 4:3 to 16:9. Image is still 5800px wide so plenty of pixels to play with if I wanted to.
The GTD cars were hitting around 170-180 before the brake zone. Knowing how much fence I had to shoot through and how big the reinforcements were, I felt a shallow DOF and relatively slow shutter speed (for those speeds) would get me a pretty clean shot of the car. I'm moderately satisfied with it.

What a hard slog it was up to Mynydd Moel. The wind had blown the snow off the ridge on to the path leading up. I was up to my waist in snow a couple of times.
I just loved this scene and had to rush a photograph before it changed. This tug is working so hard pushing the large ship into port. See more of my work at RandyRobertsPhotography.com
This is the third long weekend in a row in Queensland, not that I would really notice. Today is Labour Day and there will be the usual march in the city celebrating worker's rights. I guess a fair wage rise wouldn't go astray right now.
This Pied Butcher Bird, featured previously was doing hard labour, giving itself a really good preen. Tinchi Tamba Wetlands, Brisbane.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Harderkulm (also referred to as Harder Kulm, since the top station of the funicular is called that way) is a viewpoint at 1,321 metres (4,334 ft) in the Berner Oberland region of Switzerland, overlooking the towns of Interlaken and Unterseen. It is located at the western end of the Harder, which in itself is the most western, forested ridge of the about 30 kilometres (19 mi) long, prominent mountain range dominating the north shore of the Lake of Brienz.
The viewpoint belongs to the municipality of Unterseen in the canton of Bern with the slopes shared between the municipalities of Unterseen and Interlaken. The viewpoint offers extensive views across Interlaken, the alluvial land called Bödeli, and southwards up the valley of the river Lütschine to the high peaks of the Bernese Alps, whilst itself forming part of the Emmental Alps.
Harderkulm is occupied by the castle-like Bergrestaurant Harder Kulm and adjoining observation platform.
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company Homes
Campbell, OH
The Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company Homes in Campbell, Ohio were constructed from pre-fab concrete from 1918 to 1920. The community is now designated as an historic site. A few of the homes are still occupied, but most are abandoned and in ruins. I will be posting more photos in my Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company Homes album: www.flickr.com/photos/cj_proartz/albums/72157696255245395
The site is open for tours. For 4 hours, the cost is $20 which goes to the preservation of the site. You must sign a waiver of liability because some of the site is littered with trash, has steep steps, etc. You will be warned to look before each step and also that stairs or floors might be dangerous. (See ironsoup.com for more info.)

©Lela Bouse-McCracken ::: "The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a small heron. It stalks its prey in shallow water far more actively that other herons and egrets. It frequently runs energetically and uses the shadow of its wings as to drive prey before it; the result is a fascinating, graceful dance. It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans, and insects." ~Wikipedia

You may see my profile for an explanation. Thank you.
Hard bop is a subgenre of jazz that is an extension of bebop (or "bop") music. Journalists and record companies began using the term in the mid-1950s to describe a new current within jazz which incorporated influences from rhythm and blues, gospel music, and blues, especially in saxophone and piano playing.
David H. Rosenthal contends in his book Hard Bop that the genre is, to a large degree, the natural creation of a generation of African-American musicians who grew up at a time when bop and rhythm and blues were the dominant forms of black American music. 24 Prominent hard bop musicians included Horace Silver, Clifford Brown, Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, Cannonball Adderley, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Tadd Dameron.
Hard bop is sometimes referred to as "funky hard bop." The "funky" label refers to the rollicking, rhythmic feeling associated with the style. The descriptor is also used to describe soul jazz, which is commonly associated with hard bop.According to Mark C. Gridley, soul jazz more specifically refers to music with "an earthy, bluesy melodic concept and... repetitive, dance-like rhythms.... Note that some listeners make no distinction between 'soul-jazz' and 'funky hard bop,' and many musicians don't consider 'soul-jazz' to be continuous with 'hard bop.'" The term "soul" suggests the church, and traditional gospel music elements such as "amen chords" (the plagal cadence) and triadic harmonies that seemed to suddenly appear in jazz during the era.
I understand that it's often helpful to add people to a photograph, or a sign, or color; anything at all for perspective. "Wow, that is big!" "I had no idea it was so tall."
It's actually hard to take a photograph of Delicate Arch without people in it. (Except at sunset, when, if people don't get out of the way, they'll be quickly informed that they had better do so immediately.) I think I moved around so I could zoom in to get the whole arch without any people in my photo. Delicate Arch is iconic. It doesn't need perspective, or explanation. It doesn't matter if you visit morning or evening; summer or winter. You can stand beneath it or view a photograph of it from thousands of miles away. Delicate Arch is perfect no matter how you look at it.
Good photography is hard work. Carrying your lenses and cameras that weight 20kg or more. Finding locations to shoot. Dealing with people. Working at night and on the weekends.
This Great Egret was up-a-tree hard at work preening its beautiful wing feathers !!

This long uphill climb on the Cactus Forest Loop Drive is tough going, as both this bicyclist and the photographer learned. Fortunately, there were few cars to contend with at this time of day.

Something you don't see too often. A massive 1000-footer making a hard to starboard turn after just clearing the Duluth piers. In this case to clear the anchored salty Taagborg. Honestly, I would have loved to be on that sail boat in the upper right. Duluth with a temp in the low 80s screams lake visit.
