Looking across Derwentwater from Friar's Crag.

Anti clockwise from upper left. Red Pike ( Buttermere ), High Snockrigg, Catbells. Foreground is the plantation on Stub Hill. Bottom right, Rowling End ( Causey Pike ), Birk Rigg and finally Knott Rigg. I think Ard Crags and Aikin Knott are in between but not 100%.

Looking through layers of blue-tinted glass at City Hall in Milpitas, California.

It seems like wildfire season gets longer every summer.

Just shooting the shapes and textures at a friend's house.

San José, California.

From yellow to orange to red to threatening, the kind of layered sunset that I love to see at dusk.

Taken for Macro Mondays Group. Topic: Layer. HMM!

1993 35mm film shot of the pit lake at the former Hill Annex open pit iron mine in Calumet, Minnesota on the Mesabi Iron Range. Sometimes referred to as the "Grand Canyon of the North," the site is now Hill Annex Mine State Park.

The mine operated from 1913 to 1978, and according to a sign at the entrance to the park, the ore mined here was so pure that it could be sent to eastern steel mills with very little processing. By 1950, most of the high grade ore was gone and production decreased over the years until the operation was shut down in 1978. During its active life, the mine shipped 63 million tons of iron ore. It was the sixth largest producer in Minnesota.

The mine was sold to the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board (IRRRB) for $1 when it closed, and the IRRRB created a museum and a tour route in order to share its rich history. The Minnesota State Legislature turned the site into a state park in 1988. The park normally offers daily tours, including a fossil hunt. Not sure about right now in 2020.

Note: This photo has been on Flickr for a while, but I just gave her a major "face lift" and re-uploaded her via the "Replace" function.

Early morning in Finnmark. Soon the sun is gone for the next two months. 3 pm it is totally dark outside now

Folds and Layers of Ribbon

I tried to find a new viewpoint of Bosham Quay so walked around the back of an Oil Seed Rape field opposite the Quay. Some of the flowers are out of focus as I was standing on my tip toes to get a clear view despite being 6ft 3in!
