After 4 days of continuous rain and cloud and fog it's time for a break... someone, please bring me sunshine... I'll be in the north of Scotland so if you could send it up there it would be great, thank you....
70817 snakes past Turton Tower between Entwistle & Bromley Cross with a diverted Colas log train 6Z38 1210 Carlisle Yard to Chirk on 5th April 2021.
The replacement of a bridge at Warrington Bank Quay resulted in the WCML being shut for four days over the Easter period.
As a result, the pathing of a freight service over the line via Darwen was always going to be of interest seeing as the route seldom gets anything other than Northern units - and the sight of the 1452ft long load with 20 loaded IWA wagons with 1288 tonnes trailing certainly stood out.
The train had run empty northbound over the same line the previous day.
There are very few places along the single line stretches of this route that a reasonable shot can be taken. The impressive 1847 built Turton Tower is one of them as proved by the 10 or so photographers assembled!
Just scouting for comps at Joshua Tree's Barker Dam waiting for some good light.

Many years ago, the Pearl River flowed here. The river changed course. A shallow area was created by the deposition of sediments as the river retreated. During periodic low water, seedlings of water-tolerant cypress and tupelo trees gained a foothold. The trees you see today are a result.
Water tupelo and bald cypress trees can live in deep water for long periods. After taking root in the summer when the swamp is dry, the seedlings can stay alive in water deep enough to kill other plants.
The trail at this location leads through an abandoned river channel. As the channel fills with silt and vegetation, black willow, sycamore, red maple, and other trees will gradually replace the bald cypress and water tupelo. Also if you look closely you may see juvenile alligators sunning themselves on floating logs and other vegetation.
This location is also a trailhead for the Yockanookany Section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. This trailhead is located directly across the paved Parkway from the Cypress Swamp site. Hikers may hike south 14.1 miles to the West Florida Boundary, north 8.9 miles to the Yockanookany Trailhead, or any distance they chose on this out and back trail.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

In a secluded part of Pucks Glen is this wee quiet pool where the rock has been carved by an old waterfall spanned by an old fallen tree trunk.

Moraine Lake... Banff National Park... Canadian Rockies... October 2013.
The light here wasn't anything to write home about... but the snow-dusted scenery was spectacular! :)

I try not to post multiple images from the same spot - makes a 'stream look naff. Making an exception here because it's a very different photo to the last one - even if it's the same same log :-)
This frame taken much later in the evening and with a completely different camera and lens combination. I think this was when I was trying to decide which system to stick with.
A very noisy base image - was practically in the dark - dark enough to not take notice of the settings... :\

Le château d'Effiat est situé dans la commune d'Effiat, dans le département du Puy-de-Dôme en Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
La première mention de la seigneurie d'Effiat remonte à 1120. Elle passe entre les mains de plusieurs familles jusqu'au XVIe siècle. Elle est acquise en 1557 par Gilbert Coiffier (ou Coëffier), fait chevalier à la bataille de Cérisolles. Sa famille faisait partie de la clientèle du connétable de Bourbon.
Elles étaient destinées à recevoir des échoppes insérées sous le sol des chapelles nord de la basilique Saint-Nicolas.
This particular log in the Alviso Marina County park gets shot so much that it is probably the famous log in the South Bay, California :-) This shot is from a day back in March this year where I witnessed some of the most gorgeous sunset colors. Here's the other shot from the same day
