Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear.
Many thanks to all who take the time to comment and fav. I very much appreciate it.
Constructive criticism is welcome if it helps my photography improve.
Antibiotics kicking in, chest improving and hope to be out getting some new shots soon...when my mum says it's okay!

Fietsbrug Tegenbosch
Om de aansluiting van de drukke Anthony Fokkerweg op de A2 te kunnen verbeteren moest het fietspad op het viaduct verdwijnen. Voor de fietsers kwam er een nieuwe 160 meter lange fietsbrug over de A2 / N2, die daar maar liefst veertien rijstroken breed is, nog afgezien van de bijbehorende vluchtstroken en (midden)bermen.
In order to improve the connection of the busy Anthony Fokkerweg to the A2, the cycle path on the viaduct had to disappear. For cyclists, a new 160-metre-long bicycle bridge was built over the A2 / N2, which is no less than fourteen lanes wide there, not counting the associated emergency lanes and (central) verges.
Um die Anbindung des stark befahrenen Anthony Fokkerweg an die A2 zu verbessern, musste der Radweg auf dem Viadukt verschwinden. Für den Radfahrer wurde eine neue 160 Meter lange Fahrradbrücke über die A2/N2 gebaut, die dort nicht weniger als vierzehn Fahrspuren breit ist, die zugehörigen Standstreifen und Mittel-/Seitenstreifen nicht mitgerechnet.
Afin d'améliorer la connexion du très fréquenté Anthony Fokkerweg à l'A2, la piste cyclable sur le viaduc a dû disparaître. Pour les cyclistes, une nouvelle passerelle cyclable de 160 mètres de long a été construite au-dessus de l'A2/N2, qui compte pas moins de quatorze voies de large, sans compter les voies d'urgence associées et les accotements (centraux).
Para mejorar la conexión de la transitada Anthony Fokkerweg con la A2, el carril bici del viaducto tuvo que desaparecer. Para los ciclistas, se construyó un nuevo puente ciclista sobre la A2/N2 de 160 metros de longitud, que tiene nada menos que catorce carriles de ancho, sin contar los carriles de emergencia asociados y los arcenes (centrales).
Per migliorare il collegamento della trafficata Anthony Fokkerweg con la A2, la pista ciclabile sul viadotto ha dovuto scomparire. Per i ciclisti è stato realizzato un nuovo ponte ciclabile lungo 160 metri sulla A2/N2, che è largo ben quattordici corsie, senza contare le corsie di emergenza e le banchine (centrali) associate.
Para melhorar a ligação do movimentado Anthony Fokkerweg à A2, a ciclovia do viaduto teve de desaparecer. Para os ciclistas, foi construída uma nova ponte ciclável com 160 metros de comprimento sobre a A2/N2, que não tem menos de catorze faixas de rodagem, sem contar as faixas de emergência associadas e as bermas (centrais).

Weather conditions improved in the late afternoon. This is a northwestward view from a hill that used to be the site for Chichijima's weather station.
The island in the left is Nishijima (西島, western island), while those in the right are Hyoutanjima (瓢箪島 gourd island), Anijima (兄島 older brother island), and Hitomarujima (人丸島).
According the climate data provided by Japan Meteorological Agency, average temperature of the coldest month in Chichijima is 18.5 degree Celsius, which means Chichijima has a tropical climate.
Annual precipitation of Chichijima is 1,296 mm, and the precipitation of the driest month is 51.6 mm, which means Chichijima has the tropical monsoon climate (Am) as compared to the humid subtropical climate (Cfa) in the Izu islands and the main island part of Tokyo.
Chichijima's climate is relatively dry judging from the Japanese standard; annual precipitation of downtown Tokyo is 1,530 mm.

The purpose of the project not only will help keep birds but they will also publicize the territory using an attractive and artistic way.
Community people reconverted scarecrows into "estimaocells" and in its construction they included nest boxes and bird feeders.
The main aim of this community project is improving and restoring the biodiversity in the territory.
This scene on the Crooked River in Alanson, Michigan, is one we pass frequently. Of course, the scene changes daily but the seasonal changes are the most interesting. This photograph was taken on October 9.
Since this photograph, the second boathouse on the left, with the metal roof, has had white vinyl siding added . . . It does not improve the scene.
Vanguard, 2 Riflemen, and a female Scout. Comment your favs. Ik they're similar but I think they look much better than some of the originals. Share your Rebel armies too!

following a suggestion in a comment for a photo I posted over a year ago, I am re-posting this, in sharpened and intensified colour, and in larger size...improved, I think ! Thanks for the prod, Allan McKenzie!

Improved my editing process, and I think I can get cleaner IR results from that little 1/2.3-inch sensor. Still some other maintenance to do on the camera, but this came out well enough that I'm going to share it.
This is a Panasonic Lumix ZS6 with the hot mirror removed and a 720nm filter. I then swapped red and blue channels in post to get yellow trees and blue sky instead of the reverse, and did some additional color adjustments.
I really like IR skies. IR reveals quite a bit of detail and drama.
These images are also my fall fix before the leaves have even started to change.
More infrared and full spectrum images

I've just enjoyed a quite exceptional weekend on a photo workshop in Snowdonia run by the super talented Greg Whitton (www.gregwhitton.com). Greg identified some fantastic locations to make the most of what were really excellent conditions throughout, including a 4:15 start on Saturday (!) to get far enough up Y Garn for this kind of view by dawn and sunrise. Spectacular.
Tryfan is the mountain, with Llyn Ogwen below. As you can see we were lucky with an overnight snowfall. Whitton's Weather Wand (Patent Pending) at its best.
I'd absolutely recommend Greg's workshops. He has a reassuringly laid back style, but it was astonishing how much we achieved in the weekend. He was exceptionally effective at passing on his expertise at the right level for the different workshop participants, and keeping us all very happy.
So thanks Greg, and thanks also to David Shickle and Russ Barnes(www.russbarnes.co.uk - amazing to have him there too!) for improving my photography chops during the workshop.

I when I joined flickr a few years back i was completely enamored with the amazing photography I discovered. Coming from the graphic design industry I like to think I have an eye for what looks good and I would sit and drool over the great looking images I would find here. I wanted to create my own images.
I never imagined the level of trickery or photoshop most all the images I loved contained. Yes, these images were processed, and not just a little bit - These Were Fakes! I went thru a period of acceptance. I struggled with this.
Over time, I have come to understand & believe that photoshop is just another tool. I'm finding, that many times I can improve upon what I have captured in the field and, an improvement is just that.
I wanted to share my opinion as I have a close friend/photographer who is a photo-manipulation denier and it seems this is a constant point of contention.

Painted Hills are a landscape of alternating bands of red and tan rocks,
The Painted Hills of Oregon are a part of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, which, as the name implies, are home to a variety of fossils.
But finding fossils takes work. That is not the case with the Painted Hills, although you do have to travel for several miles on back-roads. That said, the drive is pretty easy.

After their overnight run from Medley, FL, FEC train 336 switches onto the Cemex City Point lead at CP City Point in Cocoa, FL.
CP City Point was rebuilt from its original configuration a few months prior to this photo. Originally, it was just the single main and the City Point lead with some standard vaders. Now, as you can see, there's a whole new main being built and two tracks that turn west off of the main to head toward Orlando for Brightline.
Trees improve air quality
Forests help purify drinking water
One large tree is a day's worth of oxygen for up to four people!
"A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away,
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark
But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around."

This was a treat! The 9 red Hawks of the RAF's display team, in formation with historic Spitfire Mk IX MH434.
You can see the jets have their speed brakes extended underneath to help with this relatively low-speed fly past. In addition, the turbulence from the speed-brakes apparently improves the quality of the smoke stream.
For improved visibility on level crossings, NS are fitting the class SNG EMUs with a yellow front. For now, the blue and yellow fronts can be seen together - in this case literally, as the leading unit has the blue front (mostly obscured by the overhead line portal and, of course, the other EMU) and the trailing one is yellow. The pair are on their way on a local service from Amsterdam Centraal to Amersfoort Vathorst. Soest, 05-09-2021.
This part of Ghent has recently been improved. I went with a friend for some golden hour and blue hour shots.
I combined a long exposure shot with a normal shot, to obtain sharp boats.
