I luckily managed to grab some shots of a Peregrine Falcon having his lunch. If you look closely on the back right of his mouth you can still see some yellow feathers making their way down to his digestive system.

I managed to get inside the massive crowd. People were slowly following the mourning procession. it was very tough to find my way to the front as there were lot of people with hypnotic eyes and were very annoyed if someone was pushing in. there were groups of people with sharp chains and blades in the miles long procession. They were stopping and started to beat their back & chest with those sharp chains which allowed them to bleed. Most of them got covered by blood.
This man was shaking. Not surprisingly, the shake came from his excruciating pain. There were deep cuts on his back and on his head. He was painfully uttering the names of Hasan and Husain. I couldn’t stand there longer as the beating was about to start and there was people with sharp objects. They got very inspired as soon as they saw me with a big camera. My camera turned almost red from the blood coming out from the swings of their hands. Its very easy to get hit by those as most of these people seemed like going through in a trans.

Managed to spot a tiny Common Blue flitting around the Clay Pit nature reserve a few days ago, luckily it balanced on top of a grass stem for a few seconds before going on another mazy flight. E-M5/60mm.
Managed to get out for the first time in a while last night. I took my wife to some of my old favourites, after seeing my favourite phonebox had been removed and my favourite church was lit up like Big Ben we strayed a few miles to another place I used to shoot back in the day. Trailed for 30 mintues before packing up and going home, lit by passing cars and trucks as well as a little foregound lighting from my iphone. I remember there was a security light that came on when you got too close so I chose to stand back and get a nice fisheye shot.
Enjoy

Seen in the interesting roof garden atop the new Transbay Transit Terminal. San Francisco.
Just managed to catch the sunset this evening at Langstone Harbour, Hayling Island, Hampshire after my long drive home from work.
Strange colours from the sunset this evening, not seen these browns & blues before but managed to capture some nice reflections in the still waters of the harbour.
0.6 second exposure using a Lee 0.9 ND grad filter.
Thanks for nay comments you may wish to leave.
We have managed to get back up to Skye for a few days but since we arrived the weather has been diabolical. However, it hasn't stopped us getting out and about and here are some photos of young birds we've come across.
It's not apparent from the photo but this young Meadow Pipit was absolutely tiny and probably not long out of the nest.
Managed a few hours out today with the camera, and the recent mild weather has brought out the adders. I thought this looked very large until two heads appeared. I was surprised how many we spotted. You can see how well they blend into their surroundings, very easy to walk past.
Managed to get close to this Hare today as it ambled through the grass towards me.A wonderful experience to get so close to these amazing animals!
Taken at Havergate,Suffolk
The aurora show continues.
I still manage to find some unprocessed picture from a photo trip earlier this winter.
This one really stands out

We managed to get tickets for Winkworth Arboretum and I was very happy to be back such a short time after my recent visit. The breeze was blowing a golden flurry of leaves across the colourful hillside. Soft focus and texture reduced in pp to catch the gentle mood.
Managed some damselflies and now a butterfly, things were definitely getting better!!
Much more fun viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
I managed to grab a slightly blurry shot of this a few weeks ago. Luckily as I drove past it again I saw someone in the garage, so I stopped and had a chat with him about it. Turns out it belongs to his daughter, but the whole family enjoy driving it and he's done some minor work on it.
I'd be curious to know how this goes compared to the 1.2-litre model I had some years ago. I really liked that one.
Familiar-looking car visible in the background - I figured being in the Laurel gave me a good excuse to stop......
I managed to get up to Lancelin recently for a late afternoon/evening shoot. The conditions were looking good so I headed up there giving myself plenty of time to scout the dunes for a composition I was happy with. After roaming the dunes for 3 hours or so I had two compositions marked out that I felt were strong. It was then a matter of waiting for the sun to meet the horizon and for the lines in the dunes to take shape.

Concrete and metal, trying in vain to stop the inevitable flooding of Norfolk's low lying countryside.
Walcott, Norfolk.
Managed to spend a lot of time in the woodland making the most of the rich greenery and sunlight. This photo was easily my favourite from the day.
Suprisingly managed to get another half decent photo of one of the gibbers (both gerbils are called giblet, they are referred to as 'the gibbers'!) I had been cleaning the top 2 shelves where there do most of there 'business', this white one is the bravest and most curious of the two....haven't been able to get even one decent shot of the black one.
But I managed to conduct myself with a modicum of dignity while shopping. I’m S L O W L Y getting the hang of hair care and hoping my styling appointment this month will create some “look” I can live with. The close up was the last of the day (checking I’m not too swollen for a previous worn outfit), but it gives a glimpse as to what I’m working towards, a soft, (obvious feminine) sweep. I’ve more than enough “body” but less “coverage” than I prefer. Not sure I want bangs, but have to keep it age appropriate (without the purple wash, thank you). I’ve managed to get slight control over my weight- the wrinkles are a lost cause. Love love love❤️

It's strange that wherever I go this year I see many young Wheatears but hardly any adults.
Finally managed to get my Big Chief 1:6 Doctor under the 'good' camera. This is my fave of the bunch, love the pose, the likeness, awesome.
Managed to capture this perfect strawberry Before the critters get it, like they did with the other berries.
Salami managed to keep still on my palm for a record 5 seconds today, before scrambling right off my palm >_____< It was a great relief he landed on my bed >_____< Until recently, it was impossible to have him hold still at all! Silly boy!
Thankfully Sashimi has always been more obliging :3

I managed to sneak a few backpacking trips in while the family was visiting my in-laws in Toronto the last two weeks of July. This was from the second weekend, where we spent 3 days in Chicago Basin (located between Silverton and Durango, CO). It was a great trip, and we covered a lot of ground. The weather wasn’t ideal, and it did rain on us every day, but all in all we all had an excellent outing.
On Saturday morning, we caught the 9:45 AM train after a full belly of Denny’s. The train dropped us off at the Needleton station, which provides access to some cottages and the trailhead leading into the Chicago Basin. After throwing our packs on, we crossed the Animals river and made the 6.5 mile hike into the basin, establishing camp as far in as we could get while remaining beneath tree line. The first night was clouded in and wet. In fact it rained all night and into the morning, washing out sunrise as well.
Sunday morning, we hiked up to Twin Lakes, which is another mile+ and another 1000 – 1200 ft of elevation gain to scope it out. Erik and Koveh hung out near the lake, and Craig and I scrambled up to a saddle straight north of the lake to get a view of the basin on the other side. It was pretty spectacular, however the wrong time of day. I will probably post a shot of it later though anyway. I’m glad we mad this extra hike though, as it’s when I spotted this spot for a sunset shoot. After returning to camp in the rain, we eventually came out of our tents to the warmth of the afternoon (literally, as my tent turned into a microwave and if I did not come out, I would be cooked). An early dinner, and we were back up to Twin Lakes for sunset, where we were rained on once again with the added bonus of some rumbling thunder.
The clouds cleared quickly however; actually too quickly and after fiddling around with some compositions around the lake, I decided to take my chances and head up above the lakes for a different perspective. Besides, I figured Koveh and Erik would have enough shots of the reflection in the lake, that we didn’t need any more. I’m glad I did, as there were some distant clouds, and the sky was pretty dynamic as the sun began to set. The alpenglow on the shoulder of Sunlight Peak was a nice surprise as it came through a hole in the clouds rather than lighting up the entire mountain.
This was close to one of the most tranquil sunsets I’ve been able to experience in the alpine in summer. The wind was perfectly still and the view was incredible. Definitely one I will not forget.
The hike down in the dark was uneventful. It rained off and on through the night, but Koveh shook me out of my tent before dawn to head back up towards Twin Lakes for sunrise. Going from REM to hiking in about 5 mins is one of the joys of backpacking after all. After shooting the rise near the stream draining out of Twin Lakes, we headed down; ate breakfast (Mountain House granola with blue berries for me...highly recommended); packed up and headed out. We were at the trailhead a little after noon.
This is when the most entertaining part of the trip arrived. We had been told, without any uncertainty that their would be three trains rolling through; 1/2 hr apart; and that only the middle train would stop. Hikers had been coming out of the basin all morning and afternoon, to the point where there was probably close to 40 of us waiting for the train. We had rolled out our mattress pads and were resting comfortably when the first train approached. It then stopped, which it wasn’t supposed to do, and hikers began to get on! We began frantically packing up, but before we could finish the train whistled it’s way off into the distance and when it was gone, the only ones left were the four of us; wondering what in the hell just happened...I think the worst part for me was the couple hikers that were peering out the windows of the train with a smug smirk on their faces waving at us...you could read the “Later suckas!” expression on their faces.
Anyway, the next train did arrive and we were more than ready for it. In fact they were wondering where everybody was as they were supposed to pick up 40 hikers. Turned out that the other train had plenty of room and decided to stop and pick up anyone who wanted to get out early...which would have been nice. On the plus side, we did not have to compete with 36 other hikers raiding the food car, and a couple $4 hot dogs after 3 days in the backcountry tasted better than you could imagine.
We disembarked the train in Durango at around 6:30 PM and headed for Denver. McDonalds in Pagosa Springs, speeding ticket in Del Norte, and we were in Denver around 2 AM. All in all, a pretty damn good adventure.

Well I guess that this is my last shot of 2024! I have only managed to put up 22 shots this year which is equivalent to less than 2 shots each month but I guess I did have a couple of updated shots this year which brought the total up to 24. However, what I have lacked in quantity I hope I have made up for in quality and interesting photos.
This is where I say thank for viewing my channel this year and for all the new followers I have gained thanks so much, its genuinely appreciated and I never take for granted the amount of favourites I get as over 100 was genuinely unimaginable.
I don't know about you but this year has flown by and been a rather challenging year. When starting the year with major surgery and subsequentially been behind with life for 5 months and having to learn to walk again it was rather mentally intense. For those who have struggled know that it will get better and good times lie ahead.
As we look forward, continue to look after people, make connections, build community and be empathetic as people are only human and continue to struggle but by being there can really make the day better.
For 2025, they are the goals to be more content, calmer and less of a perfectionist. But lets continue to be there for one another, I also hope that everybody had a great Christmas and if possible in a period of calm and restful.
Now shall we move onto the bus. For my Christmas/end of year shot I wanted one to look festive and atmospheric. I try to avoid the centre of Edinburgh for the majority as I feel like loads of shots are taken there and its great to get out of the centre. But, making an exception I thought the Mound would be good as there is usually a nicely lit tree. How wrong was I This year the tree was hardly visible so a change was required and I was passing Waverley and realised that the lighting would look quite nice.
Waverley Bridge returned to fleet usage in June of this year after 4 years being closed to the public initially for Covid 19 restrictions and then for prioritising pedestrians which I completely understand. However, due to the terrible fire at Jenner's last year repair work was needed, this meant that the Airlink services were in need of a new home, so Waverley Bridge was back in actions and will be for the next 2 years.
These XLB buses have been taking the Airlink loads for the best part of 5 and a half years with a small Covid break in between, they are perfect as they have lots of seats and also look really grand and impressive. I remember when I first rode on one as a "I want to ride one of these" the bus that turned up that November Friday back in 2019 was 1136.
Ever since I have really wanted a shot of 1136 but the opportunity has never until now presented itself. But when I had decided what location my shots was going to be in to my luck in was Lothian Buses 1136 that was trundling down the Mound, About 15 shots later (the driver must have thought I was mad as no other bus got a single snap) I managed to get a rather well composed and atmospheric shot of the royal blue bus.
So, here we see Lothian Buses Airlink 1136 collecting a lot of passengers at the terminus as it begins another ride out to the Airport on a cold but sunny Thursday afternoon in December.
Finally, a huge thanks for 2024 and wishing you all the best for 2025!!!

I managed to grab a quick shot of this Starling before it flew off to feed its young. As it was a grab shot I accidentally underexposed it. The Nikon D750 has great potential to recover shadows so I was able to end up with a reasonable exposure but it was a pretty ordinary photo. Then I had a brainwave and decided to go the other way and increase the contrast to produce a silhouette which I think is a lot better. I really quite like this one as it's a wee bit bit different.
