Houghton House from How End, Bedfordshire, 28 Jul 2020
I found an old photo of the view up to Houghton House on the Greensand Ridge with straw bales in the foreground.
I decided to try to work out whether I could get a similar shot this summer.
I'd seen this barley field earlier in the summer and thought that this was the location. Even though the crop had not been harvested the light was nice!
I later realised that this is not the same field. So the search continues.
I've put a copy of the old photo on my phone so I can check next time!

Another SS Dicky shot....can I ever get enough of her? I don't think so...
She is still there...even after midnight. This is SS Dicky at 1.30 in the early morning. Exposed for 209 sec and I have again neglected the rule of thirds
For those photographers interested, I have written a Free Photo Guide for this location
Idyll beyond the pavement,
How green was my valley
In vernal raiment.
DeKalb County (Forrest Hills), Georgia, USA.

▶ The East Decatur Greenway extends, unpaved, about ⅓-mile beyond its paved trailhead to the south, continuing northeastward through a wildflower garden, then over Cecilia Creek (aka East Fork Middle Branch Shoal Creek) via a small pedestrian bridge (pictured here), and, finally, concluding alongside the eastern bank of the creek.

Deep in a slot canyon in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
We had climbed up through the tunnel until we ran into a deep pool we couldn't pass. Now, how to get back?
Looking close... on Friday! theme : A Single Berry or Cherry
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
I wanted the car in this shot to give a sense of just how huge the rock formations are in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, and how abruptly they rise from a flat plain. This Courthouse Towers peak is way bigger than most buildings in Philadelphia. Okay, that was a bad example. Most things are bigger than a Philadelphia building. But the high walls of these rocks really are spectacular. Photographed on Jeff Clow's Dirt Cheap Photo Tour.
I could say this was taken out in the wilds somewhere , but no - this is Greater London and in Bushy Park ( one of the Royal Parks ) . These two were part of a larger group taking time out to head to a waterway across the open fern covered ground .
As for the scenario with these two with one sticking it's tongue out at the other !!
This photograph of my grandfather shows him as a chauffeur in 1913 and, on the reverse, he has written a note to the woman he was “walking out” with arranging a meeting.
The 1911 census shows him working at a stable as a groom so clearly in the intervening years he had secured a new career. He was almost certainly unaware that within the following 18 months he would become a soldier serving on the Western Front until the end of the Great War.
In 1916 he was granted leave to marry and on the banns certificate his occupation was shown as “serving in the war”. He was discharged from the Army in early 1920 and died in 1962.
I believe the vehicle is a Renault and I have deliberately not restored the photograph as I think part of its charm is the damage it has sustained in the last 108 years. I particularly like the big headlights and what appears to be a petrol can on the roof! Clearly, unlike today, there were no laws on tyre tread depth as the spare and front offside appear to have none although the front nearside does have some!

Carolina eenden zijn ongelooflijk mooi van kleur.
Voor de serie "How close can you get" dit portret gemaakt met de Nikon D610 en 28-300mm.
Bij 300mm inzoomen is dit de volle lensopening - erg knap van deze Nikon lens om dan deze scherpte te halen bij f/5,6 !

A view of Tarn Hows on a miserable wet day with edits.
Tarn Hows is an area of the Lake District National Park in North West England, It contains a picturesque tarn, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Coniston and about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Hawkshead. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area with over half a million visitors per year in the 1970s and is managed by the National Trust.
Tarn Hows is fed at its northern end by a series of valley and basin mires and is drained by Tom Gill which cascades down over several small waterfalls to Glen Mary bridge: named by John Ruskin who felt that Tom Gill required a more picturesque name and so gave the area the title 'Glen Mary'.
The area features in the map of the open world racing game Forza Horizon 4.

'Got me lifted, drifted higher than the ceiling
And ooh, baby, it's the ultimate feeling
You've got me lifted, feeling so gifted
Sugar, how you get so fly?'

Bit of a classic compostion from Tarn Hows. Even though the weather was poor there was still a touch of detail in clouds. Flat light too :( This was my first time at this place and a return visit is on the books.
this handsome fellow was lying in the long grass by the edge of the field sunning himself and stood up to check me out as I passed on by.
Having put a net up across the river to catch the kingfisher we managed to catch it in the scrub net next to the runway. This is a juvenile male and it was amazing how it's colour changed depending on the angle of the light. When we ringed the bird we were in shade and it was a pure kingfisher blue. Into the direct sunlight and greenish tones predominated.
The bird was ringed by the Lothian Ringing Group as part of a long term Constant Effort Site which has been monitored for 23 years.
Not many bluebells, but they were gorgeous in the lush green surroundings of Tarn Hows, in the Lake District, Cumbria, England.
Look around today as you get around.. The thing is to slow your world down to a point where you stop missing the life you look past while you drive faster everyday. “How Simple” is the beauty of a Rose. The Rose opens its pedals to show you what you’re missing. Winter passes as the Rose is dormant until warmer weather arrives to show you the beauty you pass by in your hurry to get somewhere. Leave earlier and witness the beauty that has you surrounded. Gratitude and Kindness are much the same. Enjoy them because they’re not just words. Practice them daily and improve your life’s quality. Thanks for stopping by…
Una scena abbastanza insolita : un gruppo di bambini, con i loro zainetti, si gusta un gelato, seduti sul selciato in mezzo alla centrale Via San Vincenzo.
Ho visto che avevano delle piantine. Probabilmente ne venivano da una visita all'Euroflora, in questi giorni a Genova
