Sunset over Bodmin Moor, taken from the Cheesewring, Stowe's Hill, Cornwall, a very, very unusual hill/tor with incredible natural rock formations, it feels like it should be more at home in Australia....in fact it reminded me of the film 'Picnic at Hanging Rock'. First time I've tried a Panorama with the Ollocip Telephoto add on lens....Manfrotto Tripod, Olloclip Telephoto Lens, Hisy remote, finely balanced in 'Photos' on iMac and Snapseed on iPad Pro.

Frocester Court Gatehouse, (same complex as the recent Tithe Barn photo series) Frocester, nr. Stroud. Fell in love with this gatehouse, just stunning....16th century. Handheld, standard iPhone shot. Battered in Snapseed on iPad Pro with help from an Apple Pencil.
So I've been working in Birmingham for the last couple of weeks and have really lacked any inspiration photographically, probably because I've been too busy to look around. I had seen this on my drive to work (a sculpture called 'Sentinal') and thought I really should try and get something before I leave, so I parked nearby just after dawn this morning and took a walk over to the roundabout itself and took some shots........handheld, Shoulderpod S2, Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle), Hisy remote, then finally a quick dogfight in Snapseed on iPad Pro.
For more info. on the sculpture itself:-

More commonly known as Boscawen-Un (the translation from Cornish is the title). Situated 4 miles SW of Penzance, Cornwall, UK. Well worth a visit!!!
"There is a controversial pillar at the centre of the ring......about 1864 the Penzance Natural History and Antiquarian Society trenched across the circle but found nothing. they also dug down to the base of the central stone 'and found that it was carefully placed in it's leaning position.'" Excerpt from 'A Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany' by Aubrey Burl which I always try to have to hand when travelling. This stone circle is the first one listed in this publication.
ExoLens (Wide-Angle), Shoulderpod S1, Hisy remote, Manfrotto monopod held aloft in a ritualistic manner!!. Edited with Snapseed on iPad Pro.

La Pusterla di Sant'Ambrogio è una delle porte minori che si trovano sul tracciato medievale delle Mura di Milano. Dava l'accesso ai camminamenti per le guardie di ronda nelle fortificazioni ed era usata pure come uscita d'emergenza in caso d'attacco o di assedio.
E' situata nei pressi della Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio, una delle più antiche e importanti chiese di Milano.
La Pusterla fu originariamente costruita nel 1171 dopo che la città fu distrutta da Federico Barbarossa nel 1162.
Nel 16° secolo, sotto la dominazione spagnola della città, la Pusterla di Sant'Ambrogio fu trasformata in una prigione.
Nel 1939, ad opera di Gino Chierici, fu completamente ristrutturata con le caratteristiche originali.
La porta ha due fornici a sesto acuto appena accennato e due torri.
Sopra i due archi della porta c'è un tabernacolo con Sant'Ambrogio, patrono di Milano, in compagnia di San Gervasio e San Protasio; esso risale alla metà del XIV secolo e proviene dall'ospedale di sant'Ambrogio.
Another picture of Jess, our granddaughter at Chepstow Castle, she's 6 years old. This particular photo is a rarity for me really, I actually had an idea in my mind before this shoot and Jess really was a 'model' for this one (and she did a pretty good job too....nice one Jess!!!......normally I just take standard iPhone photos of what's already there, or, on the extremely rare occasions I take photos of people it's normally done covertly. Handheld, Zeiss ExoLens, Hisy remote, tickled in Snapseed on iPhone & iPad Pro, also a touch up in Photoshop on iMac.
Finally got to see the Callanish (Calanais) Complex of Circles today on the Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.......many of the stones have a structure strikingly similar to the grain of wood......so unusual and breathtakingly beautiful.

Wayland's Smithy, Oxfordshire (situated by the Ridgeway, the oldest road). A Neolithic chambered long barrow (burial chamber) built in two main phases starting over 5,500 years ago.
Tripod, Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle), Hisy remote, tickled in 'Photos' on iMac, then battered and cropped in Snapseed on iPad Pro with a little help from an Apple Pencil. The original image lacked any interest, so after a while I came up with this.....for me it has the feel of an ancient building/temple situated somewhere in the jungles of South America.....rather than Oxfordshire.

Balvenie Castle is a 13th Century ruined castle near Dufftown in the Moray region of Scotland, well worth visiting. For some the fact that the Glenfiddich distillery is right next door may well be of further interest, Cheers!!

You know sometimes you get one of those moments when you can see rays of light, on this occasion it was coming through the trees while the Sun was low (while on a walk through the woods in Oxwich Woods, Gower Peninsular, Wales), and you think....I wonder if I can catch that through the lens. and normally it doesn't really work.....well this is one of those occasions when it sort of did.....in fact it did pretty strange things to the lower left of the frame with what I suppose is reflected/refracted light too..?......so really this is just a result of experimentation.

The tallest (approx 3 metres) of the standing stones (Menhir) situated within the Merrivale (the pleasant valley) ritual/ceremonial complex, Dartmoor, Devon, UK. Taken at sunset. If you look carefully you can make out a small stone at the end of the shadow.....other small stones are also visible.......
The Merrivale ritual/ceremonial complex includes many of the archaeological features associated with the Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age (about 2500–1000 BC). The monuments comprise of two stone circles, an avenue, a double row, a single row, a large despoiled cist, standing stones and hut-circles.
Aubury Burl says;- 'This splendid complex deserves a lengthy visit' in his book 'A Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany'........this book has been my guide to stone circles etc. for 17 years now.....well worth investing in!!

Grey Wethers Stone Circles, Dartmoor, Devon, UK. Handheld with the phone attached to the Manfrotto Tripod which was fully extended and held above my head as far as possible, not the easiest of shots....must've taken 10-20 shots before I got somewhere. Really is worth a visit but it is quite a walk from the nearest car park. Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle), Shoulderpod S2, Hisy remote, tickled in 'Photos' on iMac, and Snapseed on iPad Pro. Grey Wethers Stone Circles consists of two stone circles next to each other, the second can just be seen behind the first.

Had a few hours yesterday wandering about Old Town, Geneva, and very nice it was too.....apart from the cold, I had no hat or gloves so that made shooting with the Pentax, in anything other than 'Auto' setting, impossible!!!
This is a shot of the Town Hall Ramp from the interior perspective, or the shaft if you like. If you study the shot then you can see it's not really symmetrical but the 'floors' are indeed just one continuous floor (or ramp) spiralling up around the shaft, (the ramp itself is probably 8 feet wide, though not visible from this shot, I may well post a shot or two in the future showing the ramp itself in more detail). To have witnessed the clatter of horses hooves as they passed by up this spiralling corridor must've been quite something back in the day.
I placed the iPhone in the middle of the floor for this one (first time I've done that....normally I lie down to take the shot so I can frame it, but this actually ended up working a treat!!!, Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle), Shoulderpod S1, Hisy remote, tweaked in Snapseed on iPad Pro.
Located in the centre of the Old Town, the Town Hall is the political heart of the city and the seat of government for the Canton of Geneva. This building houses the famous Alabama Room in which the first Geneva Convention was adopted in 1864, from which was to emerge the International Red Cross. The large paved ramp surrounding the building is its most unique feature. Built between 1555 and 1578 by Peter Desfosses, the design of the ramp enabled direct access to the upper floors on horseback or on foot.
Another shot from Woodchester Mansion (nr. Stroud), a 19th Century Victorian Gothic Masterpiece mysteriously abandoned mid-construction in 1873. The workmanship is so fresh it appears to have been constructed yesterday. Hidden in a secluded Cotswold valley, it is untouched by time and the modern world. This Grade 1 Listed Building has been saved from dereliction, but will never be completed. The carvings in Woodchester Mansion are among the finest of their kind in the World. A wonderful place to visit as you can see quite clearly in places how it was built.....a stunning and unusual building indeed!!

Chancel ceiling, Worcester Cathedral. Tripod, timer, Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle), gently tickled in Snapseed on iPhone.
Visited Cairn Holy (or Cairnholy) yesterday in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, it is a site of two Neolithic burial chambers, this is a shot of the first (Cairn Holy 1) handheld by iPhone 6s Plus paired with the Zeiss ExoLens, (Wide Angle) add on lens, Shoulderpod 1 and Hisy remote.
Firstly edited in Snapseed on iPhone, then later I used the Noir filter in 'Photos' on Mac.
This ancient site is well worth a visit......for us it was similar in some respects to Pentre Ifan, Pembrokeshire........with the sea in visible in the distance....just oozing with mythology. Apparently a spiral rock carving was unearthed here and is now on display in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. The weather was changeable, windy and rainy, on the eve of the Autumn Equinox, so the final image just leant itself for processing.

This Brimstone moth was resting on a wall just at the entrance to the male Public Toilets in Mullion Cove, Cornwall, UK.
Used the iPhone 6s Plus with an Olloclip macro add on lens @ 7x magnification and a Hisy remote for this shot. Ever so gently tickled and cropped in DxO Optics Pro on Mac.
The iPhone does a pretty decent job of taking close up photos for identification purposes even though you have to get so close to the subject.....for this particular lens about 1cm, so disturbing the creature is always a risk.....on this occasion the moth slept right through......zzzzz
