Managed to pop into RSPB Bempton Cliffs on way up North for a family event. First time I've been there and first time I've seen a Gannet - I was not disappointed such beautiful birds! HWW ;0)
Les marais salants s'étendent de Trapani à Marsala quasiment (côté ouest de l'île) et couvrent une zone d'environ 970 hectares. Certains sont encore en exploitation, et la zone des marais est une réserve naturelle gérée par le WWF depuis 1995. Cette gestion par le WWF permet la restauration des moulins, qui souvent tombent en ruine. Mais cette gestion fait de cette zone aussi une très belle réserve animalière riche en oiseaux type échassiers, flamands, faucons pêcheurs... et toutes sortes d'oiseaux migrateurs.
La récupération du sel dans la région date des phéniciens, le sel était alors essentiel pour la conservation des aliments. Le port de Trapani a alors vu croître son importance au XIIème siécle avec l'exploitation du sel, considéré comme le meilleur d'Italie. Aujourd'hui encore ce sel est considéré comme un sel de luxe, très utilisé dans la haute gastronomie.
Contrairement au sel de Guérande légèrement gris, sauf pour la fleur de sel, le sel de Trapani et de la région est très blanc. Ce blanc est vraisemblablement du au fait qu'il fait plus chaud qu'en France, et donc que l'évaporation étant plus rapide, le sable n'a pas le temps de se déposer sur le sel.
The salt marshes extend from Trapani to Marsala almost (west side of the island) and cover an area of approximately 970 hectares. Some are still in operation, and the marsh area is a nature reserve managed by WWF since 1995. This management by WWF allows the restoration of mills, which often fall into disrepair. But this management also makes this area a very beautiful animal reserve rich in wading birds, Flemish birds, fishing hawks ... and all kinds of migratory birds.
The recovery of salt in the region dates from the Phoenicians, salt was then essential for the preservation of food. The port of Trapani then saw its importance grow in the 12th century with the exploitation of salt, considered to be the best in Italy. Even today this salt is considered to be a luxury salt, widely used in haute cuisine.
Unlike the slightly gray Guérande salt, except for the fleur de sel, the Trapani and regional salt is very white. This white is probably due to the fact that it is warmer than in France, and therefore that evaporation is faster, the sand does not have time to settle on the salt.
Managed to get down in time to capture the sun setting behind all three bridges.
The Queensferry crossing.
The Forth Bridge.
And the Forth Railway Bridge.
I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good...

I managed to get out for the first time this year to capture the sunset over Torbay and although it was not a spectacular on I managed to get some decent shots. I set myself up on the cliff at Thatcher Point and trained the camera towards Meadfoot beach to get some of the last light of the day as the sun popped below the horizon.
It's late afternoon and I'm stood beneath the less weatherproof section of awning at the southern end of Crewe station, thankful that the current downpour has managed to find its way on to the platform and provide a nice basis for light reflections.
Without the motivation of a camera shot, the passenger walking towards me engaged in a phone conversation might be less thankful as he hurries towards to the front of the carriage, and shelter.
The train is a Siemens-built 'Desiro', unit 350111, working LNWR's 4.32pm service to London Euston (1U38). Quite a respectable service it is too taking the direct route and 2 hours 18 minutes for the 158 miles to Euston with most stops being in the Trent Valley between Stafford and Rugby.
With less than 5 minutes to scheduled departure time, the driver is getting himself settled in and happily hasn't yet turned off the cab lights so ensuring a bit of extra detail is captured.
Technically it's far from a perfect offering, and it's certainly pushing the capability of the camera, but there's something about the combination of colours and the atmosphere that I find appealing.
A shot that's better viewed full screen.

I finally managed to get back to the river this week - chasing the last of a fickle summer whose mornings now carry a hint of autumn. Until I get to review these images; here’s one from the same spot I returned to, taken last autumn – they have in common a play with colour and texture, the reflected leaves painted almost as brushstrokes. In this case, I’ve pushed the interpretation during processing towards the abstract, but quite like the result so I guess I’ll just have to print it to see if it makes the mark. Have a lovely weekend.

After managing to drag ourselves away from the beach at The Bluff the Famous Flickr Five headed to another seaside location and had a delicious lunch at 'At The Heads' where we dined at another picturesque location on the waters edge.
Pictured here is a combination of Margaret's lunch and Beverley's drink . . . both who kindly refrained so I could take these two shots before they indulged . . . the bright oranges instantly catching my eye!

United Kingdom, London, London Wetland Centre
WWT London Wetland Centre is a wetland reserve managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in the Barnes area of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Many birds which have now made their home in the Centre cannot be found anywhere else in London. Other wild birds include great bittern, pintail, lapwing, water rail, ring-necked parakeet, sparrowhawk, sand martin, kingfisher, little grebe and great crested grebe.
I managed a bit of time out in the garden this afternoon, before it clouded over and got nippy.
Just enough time to catch one of our Collared Doves visiting.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
What appear to be icebergs here are rock shelves that have frozen over by the waves during last week's 10 below zero weather.
It was -25 F. with the windchill when I ventured out and took this picture. I was dressed appropriately, but I still could only manage 45 minutes before having to get back into my warm car and go home.
The ducks apparently didn't get the memo :)
The sunset colors created this lovely color palette.
'Twas back in March that I managed to find a break in the weather whilst over t'other side of the water and popped down to Portwrinkle, the tide was on it's way in and the sun was setting so I thought I would see if I could grab a pic to while away the rest of what had been a rather inclement day.

Managed to arrive, park car, walk along the lane & scramble part way up Chrome hill just in time to watch the mist descend, managed to grab this after a 3 hour plus wait.
Megalomatic try to work out where the left their car :)

I've long wanted to see a Ring Ouzel. I'd seen one pop up on a rock on the clifftop path on this particular evening. However, ineptitude meant it'd gone before I managed to get a shot. Chatting later to a couple about them, this little beauty popped up behind me! Lovely experience.
I actually saw a few more this week on the Western Peaks of the Lake District. Like buses these Ouzels.
Managed to get this pano using my light travel tripod - certainly isn't as stable as my main one! From Rangiwahia Hut Lookout looking towards Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. Morning sun just starting to kiss the hill tops...
I managed to do some garden work during my lunch break and Sethi helped until he had enough of leaves falling on his head. :)
Managed to grab a quick shot before if flitted off. never seem to stay still long. This little fella is exploring some an old fencepost . Lovely little birds can be quite confiding so when one strikes A pose for the camera I grab it !!

I managed to get my first Aurora last night. It was very faint and not visible with the naked eye so had to boost colours a bit to show it up.
I shot at iso 2000 @F4 for 60 seconds at 16mm but in hindsight I should of increased the iso to reduce the star movement.
Managed to be accepted into RAF Coningsby for a night shoot
this is one of the planes they put out for us
Looking west from the harbour at West Bay, there were some interesting localised weather phenomena occurring over West Cliffs and beyond. A huge layer of mist or low cloud appeared to stretch inland from above the top of the cliffs. I've not really done it justice with this shot, but one of the local dedicated landscape professionals managed some fascinating images with the use of a drone.
Installation at the Kunsthalle Bremen by John Cage called Writing through the Essay "On Duty of Civil Disobedience", 1985/91. It consists of a sound and light environment with 36 CDs, 36 loudspeakers, 24 lamps, and 6 chairs.

Finally managed to catch up with one of the new logojets. Seen here departing as BA580 to MXP, which was a surprise as I had read that it wasn’t operating today.
Managed to capture these crocuses before the wind got up this morning. Evidently crocus means cheerfulness!
I managed to get out today for the first time in a while. been sidelined by a couple little ailments over the winter. It was a beautiful day in Nebraska, temperature in the low 60's and clear skies. Ran across this beautiful church a mile off the highway, just south of Lyons.
Actually managed a day out with my camera today, and had the chance to tick 2 locations off my ever-growing bucket list. This beautiful old abandoned church really tickled me, with the oak tree growing up through the middle. Unfortunately we were plagued with very harsh sunlight today, so a return trip is on the cards....;-)
Managed to get myself up to Plymbridge today for a bit of a ride around the woods. Got caught in a bit of a rain storm and managed to get a quick snap of these dog walkers going for shelter under the bridge.
Prudence Oiseau on the train from Paris to Scotland, arriving in Hogsmeade checking into a room at above the Three Broomsticks until tomorrow where she prepares for the up and coming big day.
Finally managed to get out and shoot some new stuff, although sitting in the car at 4.30 this morning listening to the rain bounce off it, did have us worried for a while. For once the BBC weather got it spot on and it brightened up around sunrise.
Just managed to fetch my camera and take one shot through the kitchen window of this male sparrowhawk on my garden fence before he flew off.
I didn't manage to catch any falling droplets from the icicles in my previous photo (at least not with any degree of sharpness, since I didn't have my faster 50mm lens on), so here is one from last winter. I doubt we are going to have any more snow or ice this season, so there go my chances of trying this again!
... this is a different crop (a square crop that I love these days) and re-edit of a photo I'd posted last year....
I watched him for a while and it was completely beyond me how he keeps track of all those blades of grass. In the end, the solution he told me was quite simple. He had taken a course in applied chaos theory at an adult education centre.

After quite a while sitting and waiting patiently, together with many discarded photos, I managed to capture one of this hummingbird that I was satisfied with.

For a long time, I have aimed to photograph the belted kingfisher. My first encounter with this bird occurred in Arkansas, where I observed two kingfishers playing and hunting along a local creek. Unfortunately, they were too far for me to capture a good photo. Since then, I have frequented several birding locations in hopes of catching a glimpse of the kingfisher, but I've always returned empty-handed. After relocating back to Southern California, I finally spotted a kingfisher at Bolsa Chica when it landed on a dead tree just a few meters away. Since that day, I have taken many photos of it. Interestingly, the kingfisher seems to prefer Bolsa Chica only on cloudy or foggy mornings, as I have never seen it there in good light, making it challenging to photograph. The photo above is the best lighting I have managed so far. It seems that to capture that perfect image of the kingfisher, I truly have to earn it.
