The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum is all about the stories of people who, armed with little more than some talent and a dream, go on to defy all odds and leave a lasting mark on both music and culture. The building itself is a magnificent structure as it stands proudly on the south shore of Lake Erie. It's splendor is most evident after dark, just like the music that it celebrates.

The inner - what is it?
if not intensified sky,
hurled through with birds
and deep with
the winds of homecoming.
(Rainer Marie Rilke)
This was shot at about the peak of coloration for this sunset. But the show did not stop - it kept on giving right up until the time darkenss set in.
A pretty pair we were at Culburra this morning,
Optimistically walking out in very light rain, with an eye on the clearer skies to the South, willing them to come this way. To no avail though, heavy rain snuck in from the North and then when it seemed impossible, it intensified into a torrential downpour!
Two very wet photographers finally called it a day and swam back to the cars and a cup of hot coffee!
Taken from under the umbrella in the middle of the downpour.
Sunset taken from the Midland Highway in central Tasmania. Bush fires everywhere made the sky very orange, which was intensified at sunset.
The last five days of Kartik month are known as Bhisma-Panacaka. Grandfather Bhisma fasted for these five days, preparing to give up his life. However one observes Kartik-vrata, he should intensify it for the last five days. The best way to observe the Kartik-vrata is to abstain from eating grains for the whole month, and to take only milk or water for the last five days. If one eats grains during the month, he should avoid them for the last five days. Also, one should only eat once a day.

The sculpture "Global Warming" shows a content devil bending over a skewered globe. Underneath, a fire burns, which is intensified with the left foot over the bellows. With his right hand he turns the crank.
In the figure of the devil, the uncanny, intangible reality of evil is given a personal form, which has been blamed for centuries, for all corruption and evil in the world. It is, it is thought, the devil who seduces man to the most abysmal deeds and who, wherever possible, sows confusion and discord.
Today, in times of fake news and alternative facts, when conspiracy theories and hostility to science are booming, it has become more difficult to assess things correctly or to assign them to a figure. The diabolical no longer has a horse's foot and horns, and yet the old-fashioned devil would certainly take great pleasure in the current global events.
In reality, of course, global warming is not the work of the devil, but man-made ...
(The sculptor's interpretation)
It was Saturday evening as Steve and I stood on top of the dunes, surveying the scene in front of us and watching the light begin to soften and intensify with the arrival of the golden hour. The beach was still busy on this wonderfully warm September weekend, when I’d arrived armed with flip flops instead of wellies to tackle the water. I'm programmed to stand in six inches of water every time I come here you see. And while Steve only had this one chance to capture the light on the dunes and prepare for a battle with unwanted beach tents in the editing suite later, I was content to sit and watch the world go by, and chat about the differences between his state of the art mirrorless set up and my clunky old collection of rag tag lenses, one of which was making its debut appearance here at Holywell Bay after a long journey west from Pakistan. We talked about Flickr and our virtual friends. Of course we talked about you. We really liked your shot of [insert subject and location here], although we thought your picture of [insert subject and location here] might have looked slightly better with a sixteen by nine crop. Just saying.
And then we strolled down from our lofty position, my trusty summer boat shoes filling with increasing amounts of sand at every step, and made our way onto the beach, passing the tents that had made Steve’s composition that bit more challenging than he might have liked, and heading for the flat wet expanse left by the retreating tide. But if we thought it would be plain sailing from here, we were sadly mistaken. The September heatwave had filled the beach with visitors, and even at the sunset hour plenty of them were still in and around the sea. Rather more annoyingly, barely a minute passed without one of them marching through the sand pool I’d had my eye on for a reflection shot. Salivating dogs and splashing infants invading the space where I planned to set up my tripod and take the first picture with the new addition to the bag - my knee saving budget plan for taking wide angle shots on the camera with the articulating screen. Try and do this on the full frame with the old and crotchety but far more costly lens that refuses to auto focus, and I’d have to practically lie down in the water.
Eventually, the torrent of incomers having vacated the water, I was ready to shoot. It’s just a shame the lens wasn’t. Everything looked normal, the new acquisition focused eagerly as I looked down at the flipped out screen from above, but when I pressed the shutter, instead of being rewarded with a copy of the scene in front of me, an error message appeared, inviting me to clean the contacts. Standing here on a beach, surrounded by life, sand and seagulls, no amount of tinkering and wiping was going to fix the problem. And so I resorted to the other lens, the 24-70 that accompanies me everywhere, regardless of whatever else goes in the bag for each outing. Bang went the plan for big foregrounds full of texture and water, and along came its emergency replacement - although quite what that might be, I hadn’t decided just yet. Maybe I’d leave one or two of the people who littered each frame and airbrush the rest away. Meanwhile, the sky continued to fill with textures and warm colours in the minutes before sunset.
We moved closer to the sea, setting up our tripods and stoically ignoring the endless distractions around us, one of us occasionally calling across the twelve yard gap to see how the other was getting on. The foreground was rather messier than I’m used to here, not only because of the mass of humanity, but also the absence of a curving river across the sand that so often fills the frame and banishes all distractions at low tide. Apart from slowing down the water right in front of me, I was watching both clouds and light in a composition that didn’t quite match some of the more dynamic ones I’ve found here before now. I was happy enough though. Usually by early September at this time of day I’m in a coat, jeans and welly boots here, but today it was shorts, tee shirt and the aforementioned flip flops on this balmy evening.
And then something interesting happened as wave after wave of gulls flew overhead from the cliffs behind us to land on the shore or in the sea, filling the air with activity. Much like our visit to Godrevy on Monday, we were dealing with interlopers, but this lot were feathered, noisy and in far greater numbers. I abandoned the filters and raised the ISO well into four figures, silently thanking a certain editing suite for the recent introduction of a new and much improved noise reduction feature. Despite the complete failure of Plan A, something had worked.
It was time to say farewell - for now at least. Steve had a long journey home the following day, and I was about to take part in a reunion of the three happy snappers with Dave and Lee the next morning. And there was the matter of an errant lens to attend to. More of that in the next episode.
This storm was a lucky miss for me. Although we got some small hail, brief heavy rains, and little CG lightning, the storm intensified after moving east and was dropping baseball size hail.
Not very sharp, but sometimes photos don't need to be......
Whilst not deliberate somehow, for me anyway, this photo captures my emotional response to the Gas Chamber at the Majdanek Extermination Camp. Being one of the first buildings you encounter when you visit the site the impact is intensified.

From Wikipedia, 'Majdanek or KL Lublin was a Nazi German Extermination camp established on the outskirts of the city of Lublin during the German occupation of Poland in World War II. Although initially purposed for forced labor rather than extermination, the camp was used to kill people on an industrial scale during Operation Reinhard, the German plan to murder all Jews within their own General Government territory of Poland.
The camp, which operated from October 1, 1941 until July 22, 1944, was captured nearly intact, because the rapid advance of the Soviet Red Army during Operation Bagration prevented the SS from destroying most of its infrastructure, but also due to ineptitude of commandant Anton Thernes who failed in his task of removing incriminating evidence of war crimes. Therefore, Majdanek became the first concentration camp discovered by Allied forces.
Also known to the SS as Konzentrationslager Lublin, Majdanek remains the best preserved Nazi concentration camp of the Holocaust.'

Rain hitting my window as we turned onto runway 34L . The storm intensified. The pilot warned us to keep our seat belts on no matter what and insisted we not take them off until he signaled it was ok to do so. People reacted nervously to his comments since it really didn't look all that good out there. I also had the recent FedEx DC-10F crash on my mind which occured on this runway a few weeks earlier. It was the winds that scared me here... but all went well :-)
As the snow intensifies, the Hoosac Tunnel quietly waits for the next train to pass. Looking into the bore yields a tranquil scene, but also sheds the sheer will and tragedy that it took to blast through the Hoosacs.

A depression with its centre in South Andaman Sea on 17 December 1964 is what brought about this cyclone. On 19 th December, it intensified into a cyclonic storm. After 21 December 1964, it started moving westwards at the rate of 250 miles (400 km) to 350 miles (560 km) per day. On 22 nd December, it crossed Vavunia of Ceylon ( now called Sri Lanka) with a wind velocity of 280 km/hour, moved into Palk Strait in the night and crashed into Dhanushkodi of Rameshwaram island on the night of 22–23 December 1964. It was estimated that tidal waves were 8 yards high when it crossed Rameshwaram.
On that night (December 22) at 23.55 hours while entering Dhanushkodi railway station, the train No.653, Pamban-Dhanushkodi Passenger, a daily regular service which left Pamban with 110 passengers and 5 railway staff, was only few hundred yards before Dhanushkodi Railway station when it was hit by a massive tidal wave. The entire train was washed away killing all 115 on board. A few metres ahead of Dhanushkodi, the signal failed. With pitch darkness around and no indication of the signal being restored, the driver blew a long whistle and decided to take the risk. Minutes later, a huge tidal wave submerged all the six coaches in deep water. The tragedy that left no survivors also destroyed the Pamban bridge, which connected the mainland of India to Rameshwaram island.
Reports say that over 1800 people died in the cyclonic storm. All houses and other structures in Dhanushkodi town were marooned. The high tidal waves moved deep onto this island and ruined the entire town. Naval vessels sent to rescue people reported seeing several bloated bodies around the eastern end of Dhanushkodi. Eyewitness accounts recollected how the surging waters stopped short of the main temple at Rameshwaram where many people had taken refuge from the fury of the storm. Following this disaster, the Government of Madras declared Dhanushkodi a ghost town and unfit for living.

Take on day three of my four day Lake District autumn workshop this week. This lovely wooden pier is a favourite of mine in the south Lakes when a great sunset is predicted. It is an easy location to reach and car parking nearby.
Normally this location is teeming with photographers but on this evening we had it to ourselves. The colours intensified as the sun dropped and being in a perfect position allowed us plenty of opportunities to capture exactly what we were after.
Today I am home after running another successful and highly enjoyable autumn Lake District workshop but tomorrow I head north again to the gorgeous Isle of Skye for a five day workshop. The weather looks changeable and 'interesting' and that should provide us with some fantastic opportunities to capture some magic on camera.
Have a great weekend everyone :D

Sometimes at Sunrise/Sunset you have to take a little time out to appreciate what you are capturing. This was taken just before Sunset, as we were making our way back along the beach. The colours intensified in the sky for a brief period, before disappearing totally. Very short lived.
I decided to use my hubby as the foreground interest. Inspired by the Gormley sculptures at Crosby Beach, which I luv.
Just wish we had skies like this more often.
One from 2017 when I did my birds of Prey course. An intense stare from the Strix Aluco.
An owl's eyes are placed at the front of the head and have a field overlap of 50–70%, giving it better binocular vision than diurnal birds of prey (overlap 30–50%). The tawny owl's retina has about 56,000 light-sensitive rod cells per square millimetre (36 million per square inch); although earlier claims that it could see in the infrared part of the spectrum have been dismissed, it is still often said to have eyesight 10 to 100 times better than humans in low-light conditions. However, the experimental basis for this claim is probably inaccurate by at least a factor of 10. The owl's actual visual acuity is only slightly greater than that of humans, and any increased sensitivity is due to optical factors rather than to greater retinal sensitivity; both humans and owl have reached the limit of resolution for the retinas of terrestrial vertebrates.
Adaptations to night vision include the large size of the eye, its tubular shape, large numbers of closely packed retinal rods, and an absence of cone cells, since rod cells have superior light sensitivity. There are few coloured oil drops, which would reduce the light intensity. Unlike diurnal birds of prey, owls normally have only one fovea, and that is poorly developed except in daytime hunters like the short-eared owl.
This was a slow moving storm that rapidly intensified into a severe thunderstorm. Fortunately, it formed just east of my location. The white under the cloud is probably small hail falling.
