Mountains cascading towards the sea, north-east Taiwan. This photo, like all my photos on this site, is in the public domain.
There's good reason why White Pocket is one of my most popular tours. It's off the beaten path, hard to get to, and offers so much photographic potential. Here's a shot showcasing the many layers you get in the brainrock out here.
Edinburgh Castle overlooking a busy Grassmarket. Castle Rock, on which the castle sits, is a volcanic plug estimated to have formed 350 million years ago. This strategic strong point has been used as a place for fortresses since the Iron Age. The Castle was built in 1103, while the Grassmarket area dates back to the 1300s and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Last upload before another short trip away, trying to use my holiday entitlement up. I was hoping to do some landscape photography but looking at the weather it might be more seascape, which is worrying as I am inland!

Happy MM, stay safe and and thanks for looking.

Forest bathing requires a bit of a different approach at this time of year - usually, with a lot more layers of clothing, snowshoes, and a good set of winter boots. Even so, it's nice just to stand still, look around, and take it all in.
Taking you back to the Slovenian Alps in September 2017, this image was taken at sunset on the border of Slovenia & Italy. Beautiful contrast & layers. This is available in my print store on my website.

The Layers - Stanley Kunitz
For those interested this is an Agave plant.
A sheet of clingfilm covering a tiny bowl of green olives. I don't really use clingfilm anymore, this was purely for photographic purposes.
Taken for Macro Mondays - Theme 'Layer'
I visited Great Sand Dunes National Park for the first time, and what really impressed me about the park was the scenic variety in a relatively small area. As the sun rose and painted the landscape, the scenic features really began to stand out.
I'm not sure any of the photographers who were with me on the workshop took any shot like this. The instructor himself was slightly puzzled about what I was going for. As I gazed upon the scene in front of me, I was struck by the layers of landforms that comprised the park. The strips of sky, alpine peaks, forested mountains, and the sand dunes, which seem so foreign in this environment. While not a photograph that would invoke the admiration of a judge in a photo contest, it nailed what I was going for. The one improvement I wish I'd made was to wait a couple minutes for the swath of sunlight to make a wider layer of lit dunes. I was busy taking a panorama during that moment. I'll reshoot on a future visit, whenever I can work out the timing.
I took this "promo" shot for Canibeat's first event they are holding.
Layered a few shots, the sky is legit, it was right before a pretty heavy storm.
here's a link to the post where you can find information about this event:
Switching off from photo opportunity mode is difficult, even when you're eating lunch. I spotted this view of our trachycarpus fortunei palm whilst eating a baked potato and I just had to interrupt my meal to get a snap. The layers of palm leaves created some interesting fan shapes in the afternoon sun, but I was obliged to take the shot through SIX layers of glass - three double glazed windows. I was therefore surprised that I was able to achieve a less than perfect but reasonably acceptable focus.
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Layer'.
Just a small white paper serviette stuck into the neck of a bottle.

I did try a stack of plates with a red serviette, and I did try a red serviette in the neck of the bottle, but didn't like the results.

A mid-winter view due south from the summit of Rippon Tor, captured at 260 mm and about ten minutes before the sun disappeared below the horizon. To give a sense of scale, the town of Ashburton, visible in the distance to the left, is about 10 km away. Thanks for looking.
