Fjadrargljufur river canyon in South Iceland seen from above and in a different perspective. I just love this "accidental" landscape with its prehistoric look.
This is a photo that was previously written off. The sky was bright and the landscape total shadow. For those reasons it remained in a "junk" file unlikely ever to be seen again. With todays photo editing software a reasonable amount of detail has been rescued. Ok, it isn't sharp but it does depict the day I reached the Cuillin Ridge for the first time. The three hikers are Mike (from Montana), myself and John another American who has since sadly passed away.
As easy deduction indicates that this photo must have been taken by Mark.

Now I only post this picture to show how penguins have been deprived of their natural habitat. With global warming and the interference of man, penguins have been reduced to what you see here. Driven out of their natural habitat they wander, lonely, through a frozen and cluttered landscape, totally devoid of fish. This one might be smiling, but you can be sure he's lost his mind. And if he can't find his mate soon there will be no more penguins. This one is certainly an endangered species.
The monteneginian part of the railway line from Belgrade to Bar is always mentioned as one of the most exciting railway lines. But the part of that line across Serbia offers also a lot of amazing landscape! Totally desolated from any roads the line crosses the mountains of Zlatibor. B 431 "Tara" crosses Ribnica I Viaduct and will pass Ribnica station in a few seconds. The train is hauled by a monteneginian 461.
Okay, okay, enough with the pictures from Fuerteventura. This is the last one for now (until I visit the next time) and I thought the sign in this picture fits very well for that.
This was taken at the narrowest point of the island, just a little bit south of La Pared. If you are standing high enough, you can see both the west and the east coast of Fuerteventura from the same spot.
I don't know how you feel about it, but the landscape totally reminds me of New Mexico... At least how I know it from Breaking Bad.
Feel free to like and comment! :)
Totality - Here's a shot of the the totality from the campground in Weiser, ID. We settled ourselves behiind a patch of flowers. I increased the luminiscense of the yellow color to give a bit more contrast to the image..

To watch how I captured this shot watch my video diary of the trip: youtu.be/YlQgB4QR-vc
If youāve been following my recent vlog videos, youāll know that I broke my Nikon D850 & Iāve purchased a Canon 200d as a new secondary camera / vlogging unit. Iāve never owned a Canon before, but Iāve been impressed with it so far. Iāve gone over to the dark side...kind of.
This image was taken with the 200d on a stormy winterās day at Smeale Beach. Ferocious hail and snow storms were being whipped up by gale force winds. The contrast between the deep dark snow clouds above and the frothy white surf being driven onshore was amazing. This was made even more impressive by the burst of Golden Hour light coming in from the left of the scene at the brief moment I captured this shot. An otherwise very ordinary landscape totally brought to life by the weather conditions.

Created using a number of my photos. I feel like doing some landscapes - totally made up. Photos from this are from NY, NJ and PA.
Route 178 threaded an area of east London heavily bombed in the 1939-45 conflict, from Clapton Pond to Maryland station. Low bridges en route brought a fleet of one dozen low height double deck RLH class to Dalston garage. However, the route had been operated by single deck types (as route 208A) prior to 1959, and after just twelve yearsā RLH operation, the route was renumbered again and reverted to single deck route S3. Route 178 had the distinction of being London Transportās last RLH operated route.
RLH 57 is depicted a couple of months before conversion, in a derelict Hackney landscape totally unrecognisable today.
This enlargement was bought in the 1980's. Photographer unknown. If anyone has copyright with the image please let me know?
This image taken looking East shows the then busy yard that served Consett steel works in the background.
The only identifiable loco is the clean Q6 63455 .
Following closure of the works in September 1980 and final track lifting at the location exactly four years later, the whole site was infilled and landscaped.
Totally unrecognisable today.
Nothing remains today that a railway ever existed in this view.
Moon at various degrees of eclipse.
Northern California had a very cloudy horizon at the time of the eclipse. However, patience pays off as I was able to get a few nice shots between the clouds of various degrees of occultation.
I used a Canon 400mm f4 DO IS prime for these photos.
Posar el sol a la foto, Ć©s una cosa que faig bastant, perĆ² Ć©s perillĆ³s, Ć©s molt fĆ cil passar-se, que el sol estigui cremat Ć©s normal, perĆ² sāha dāanar amb compte que sols sigui el sol, la resta de la imatge a dāestar acord amb la lluminositat, i sāha de tenir molt en compte els flares, que a vegades queden bĆ©, perĆ² altres poden espatllar la foto.

Brothers-farmers Sebastian & Alehandr Stivensons built this speederbike to ride over their fields, village, market & city if needed. It was made of one old speederbike, car cabin & lots of additional details. So it is more custom then simply tuned. Finally, it looks like a locomotive, a big suitcase a bit and an animal at once. So brothers named it a Ā«Field BeastĀ»

[A326] Wijchen 06/02/2020 12h22
One of the shortest highways in the Netherlands. The main function of the A326 is to get from the South of Nijmegen to the A50. Photo taken while driving East from Nijmegen towards the highway junction Bankhoef with the A50 going South (Eindhoven) and North (Arnhem).
Highway A326
The provincial road 326 is a highway managed by the province of Gelderland between the Bankhoef (A50) junction and the Palkerplein in Wijchen. The provincial part has the road number A326. After Palkerplein the road continues as N326 to Keizer Traianusplein in Nijmegen. The N326 is in the hands of the municipality of Nijmegen.
The provincial highway part starts at the Bankhoef junction as a branch of the A50, has two exits (Bergharen and Beuningen, no exit numbers used) and ends at Palkerplein roundabout near the Bijsterhuizen industrial estate on the border of the municipalities of Nijmegen and Wijchen.
The highway was opened on 12 June 1975 as provincial road S109. The A326 originally ran as far as the A73, but due to the construction of Palkerplein it has ended earlier since 1995. The intersection with the A73 was previously called Junction Lindenholt. In the direction from Nijmegen to 's-Hertogenbosch, the Rolenhof service area was originally closed as of 1 July 2003. This can still be seen in the landscape. Total length of the highway is 6.7 kilometers. Including the N326 13.2 km.

I grow older everyday and one thing I like most about aging is my growing comfort with who I am. I know what I like and what I don't feel like I need to act a certain way around people to foster a certain impression of me. It's clear to me that sunrise is hands down my favorite time of day to shoot. The air is clear and crisp. There is a thrill getting up before most to stand in a landscape totally alone. It's really an amazing experience. To top it off, I like the way my photos usually turn out.

Please pick up your machinery and your cattle and your bank balances ; ..... forget the non-sustainable charcoal industry, the lumber & the drugs, - the rare or young captive animals you wish to take for the exotic pet trade and also the precious stones and gold you desire to make huge profits on - (open mining is killing people )
and .............Please Leave........ Go home and try to search for your human self...you have already involved the local people in all of these schemes and situations...with inhumane tactics & repercussions.......
I have read that governments here are trying to balance the books of right and wrong but for every positive action .......... .......etc.

We'd like to share the insider's scoop about the people who carry out the important work of protecting and conserving fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats along the central and southern California coast. Meet our new public affairs specialist Olivia Beitelspacher!
Hazel Rodriguez: Welcome to the Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office Olivia! What role do you play within the agency?
Olivia Beitelspacher: I am a public affairs specialist, so it my job to share stories and communicate with different audiences about the amazing work being done at the Ventura FWO to protect endangered species. I also get to perform outreach and engage with local communities.
HR: Not a bad gig you got! Tell me about where you went to school and what you studied.
OB: I went to Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas where I got a B.A. in Film and Environmental Studies.
HR: What led you to a career with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
OB: I had just switched my major from Creative Computation to Environmental Studies and was looking for an internship with a federal land management agency. I applied for an internship with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) and got to spend a summer as an interpretive ranger at Grand Teton National Park.
The following summer I applied to another SCA internship and was fortunate enough to get to participate in the Directorate Resource Fellowship Program (DFP), which was actually my introduction to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Through the DFP I had the opportunity to spend a summer in Anchorage, AK making outreach and educational materials about invasive species. It was such an incredible experience! I love the Serviceās mission and all of the people I met during my DFP, I admire for their passion and dedication to their work. It made me realize that USFWS is the agency that I wanted to work for.
HR: That is great to hear Olivia! Do you have any conservation heroes or mentors?
OB: There are so many amazing conservation heroes but the one who comes to mind first is Liz Putnam, the founder of the Student Conservation Association (SCA). I had the honor of meeting her during a volunteer service trip at Grand Canyon National Park and hearing her story was incredibly inspiring.
In 1953 at age 20, while still attending Vassar College, Liz created the SCA enlisting student volunteers to assist with the upkeep of U.S. national parks and public spaces. Because of her, I and so many other students were given opportunities to experience public lands and conservation in ways that we mightāve not had otherwise.
HR: That is so cool that you had the opportunity to meet her! We have a partnership with SCA to provide many fellowship and internship opportunities. Students can gain some serious skills, and experience life on different landscapes. Totally worth checking out!
OB: I second that! The SCA is a great organization and helped me find my passion and ultimately my career in conservation. 10/10 would recommend.
HR: Is there a particular project from your career or schooling that makes you really proud?
OB: When I was a senior in college I helped organize a Student Service Day for a local environmental non-profit, and it was such a cool experience. It took several months of planning and preparation, but it was so rewarding to see it come to fruition at the end. I was really proud to take part in the creation of an event that gave students the ability to learn more about environmentalism in their community, while also participating in a clean-up around a local lake.
HR: Now for the fun stuff. How do you spend your free time?
OB: I enjoy watching movies, reading, playing with my dogs, and baking! Iāve gotten way more into baking recently and itās such a fun way to spend a day. I also really enjoy going to new restaurants and coffee shops! I actually have a running list of coffee shops Iāve visited and ones I still need to go to in my area. I update it every time I try a new one so that I can remember which ones I like the most.
HR: Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what is it?
OB: Itās not so hidden anymore, but Iām a pretty decent baker! I recently did a couple of what I call āEpic Bakesā where I spent a few straight days doing nothing but baking different flavors of the same dessert (or different desserts with the same flavor) and then delivered them to all of my friends. So far my Epic Bakes have included cheesecakes, scones, macarons, and blueberry themed desserts. When I have the time, maybe Iāll do bread or pie next!
HR: Wow Olivia that sounds delicious, hope to try one of your āEpic Bakesā one day!
An old sketch that I forgot! Done in 2007, it was sketched at the top of a small hill called Sai Kung Park now. The houses and huts below are all part of the Sai Kung Old Town, built around the hill I was sketching from. The old town is full of narrow alleys and the whole town was once surrounded by sea on three sides before reclamation that changed the landscape totally in the 70s.
By Sir William Orpen (1878ā1931)
Orpen was commissioned into the Army Service Corps as a second lieutenant in March 1916, and worked as a clerk at Kensington Barracks. But under the war artist's scheme, in January 1917 he was released from these duties, given the rank of major, and, in April, arrived in Amiens. Orpen was only the second war artist to be appointed, after Muirhead Bone (1876-1953), and he was employed full time to record the conflict. In the spring and summer of 1917 he painted the battlefields of the Somme, sometimes at places that had been captured only a short time earlier. Orpen described in a letter the shocking experience of seeing numbers of corpses lying unburied among the flooded shell holes, in a landscape totally empty of life. In his pictures of the blasted battlefields, and in his portraits of the exhausted or shell-shocked men, Orpen got physically and emotionally closer to the full horrors of the First World War than most of the other official artists.
Before being presented to the Imperial War Museum, these works were exhibited at Agnew's in London in May 1918, to immense popular acclaim. The public responded positively to the frankness of Orpen's brutal realism, and the exhibition secured Orpen his knighthood. He returned to France in July 1918, and remained there almost constantly until the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. During this period Orpen began to paint more overtly allegorical compositions about the War and many portraits of the delegates to the Peace Conference. But he also recorded a few further battlefield scenes, like Zonnebeke, made in the style of his pictures of the previous year. Zonnebeke, in Flanders, was the scene of bitter fighting as part of the Passchendaele campaign from June to November 1917. A massive British offensive against enemy installations initially succeeded brilliantly. But prolonged rainfall and heavy shelling transformed the battlefield into a swamp, and the Germans, operating from concrete pillboxes, took a heavy toll of Allied troops with mustard gas and machine-gun fire. At some points at Zonnebeke the Allied and German trenches there were just seven yards apart, and there was terrible loss of life. In a series of attacks and counter-attacks Zonnebeke itself was completely destroyed. When the British finally halted the Passchendaele offensive in November 1917, both sides had each lost 250,000 men, and the Allied lines had advanced just five miles.
Orpen's experience of the War changed him forever. While enormously successful afterwards as portraitist to the British establishment, he remained bitter about the human loss and blamed the politicians and generals for asking the ordinary soldier to make unbearable sacrifices. In 1921 he published an account of his time as a war artist in An Onlooker in France 1917-1919. This contained passages which derided the politicians' cynicism, but was nevertheless hailed by the Daily Express as 'The most frank, unconventional, humorous, tragic human book about the Great War that has been written'.

"Peacefield, also called Peace field or Old House, is a historic home formerly owned by the Adams family of Quincy, Massachusetts. It was the home of United States founding father and U.S. president John Adams and First Lady Abigail Adams, and of U.S. president John Quincy Adams and his First Lady, Louisa Adams. It is now part of the Adams National Historical Park."
"The Stone Library requested by John Quincy Adams is directly next door. It was built by John Quincy's son Charles, a Peacefield resident, after the deaths of the two presidents." wiki
"Adams National Historical Park is located in the City of Quincy, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, approximately ten miles south of Boston. The Park comprises 11 historic structures and a cultural landscape totaling almost 14 acres."
"The story encompasses five generations of the Adams family (from 1720 to 1927) including two Presidents and First Ladies, three U.S. Ministers, historians, writers and family members who supported and contributed to the success of these public figures." www.nationalparks.org
