Here is the view I went to capture in Iceland. It is a truly beautiful spot, but it was ruined for me by photographers being I suppose people. I hiked out before dawn the weather report was for sun the weather report in Iceland was never right but then the weather seam so local changeable by that I mean local to around 100 meters or so! Anyways I hiked out to this amazing spot I’d read about seen so many pictures of, I was the first one there I set up started taking a few shots .Just as the light was about to get interesting from nowhere carloads of photographers ruck up at surround me hedged in far enough I’ve got my spot. It’s fair game anyone can come and do this no problem then some start setting up in front of me and probably all the other ones as well! Now call me old fashioned but that’s just rude! We are all there with the same cause. So here is the image with the rude people photoshopped out lol. And please forgive my giving off about photographers! It’s a bit like complaining about traffic we are traffic… One thing it forced me off road which was a good thing to start finding spots that people didn't go to and thats when I realy started to enjoy Iceland!
This was taken on one of our summer walks, mainly for identification, and now it’s a good fit for Looking Close on Friday theme : Only one flower in focus.

It's fair to say I became a little obsessed with this view a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon it on my way to a poppy location. The lines, the rolling slope, and the diminishing tree line all appealed to me. And then I realised that the compositions are literally endless. I was hooked!!
I took this shot last Saturday afternoon when the moody, contrasty sky was a perfect counterpoint to the smooth, simple lines of the barley.
About the only place you can get sun on the morning southbound at the moment.
A pretty rare set of three cleanish coal route DXC locos.

The Dark Hedges is an avenue of large mature beech trees, which were planted around 1775. About 90 of the original 150 trees are still surviving.
The iconic trees have been used as a filming location in HBO's epic series Game of Thrones®, representing the King's Road. It is the most photographed location in Northern Ireland.

I've been using the rainy afternoon to catch up on a lot of admin and also processing a few summer shots I hadn't looked at yet.
Most of you will of course know exactly where this is - the famous Dark Hedges. It's not exactly an original composition and it's one I've done a few times before - but the light at 4am on this particular summer morning was nice! So I thought I'd upload it.
The shy dunnock can be seen hopping about under hedges as its other name, 'hedge sparrow', suggests. It inhabits gardens, woodlands, hedgerows and parks The dunnock is a small bird, about the size of a robin, which is common in gardens, parks, hedgerows, scrub and along woodland edges. Dunnocks are shy birds, hopping about in low vegetation and around the edge of lawns, feeding on small insects, worms and seeds.
A weathered old cedar tree, growing on the edge of a 110 foot-tall bluff overlooking the Buffalo National River.
If hedges are neglected, they grow into close rows of trees, like here.
Still very green. (I must remember to go back soon.)
I like that curl in the road up there.
I don't think a double decker bus could get through here?
(Overgown? Anyone get it?)

I do these every May. We have a south-facing section of Beech in a hedge in our Staffordshire garden. Lots of invertebrates are attracted to the newly-opened leaves. It's a good way to demonstrate garden biodiversity. This is just a random selection of some of the visitors that I managed to photograph.
