I wanted you to see the size of this place. When I found out it was purchased by and designed by the developers out of Austin, Texas, I wasn't surprised. The place is huge and they tried to touch on everything. It's positioned so people can sit out on the farthest deck and watch the sunset. Of course, small bars are out positioned in different areas of the deck. And sure, live bands..;) Sooooo Austin. Don't get me wrong, it's a great setup. It doesn't fit the rest of the city or coastal area, but that's the way it goes. I wonder how the locals feel about it?
... somehow these all got aligned there on my desk at work ... and had my camera around for a ... snap :)
The light on the desk from the computer monitor.
We've reached the marker cairn, and a short rest. Ahead lies the steepest part of the climb which takes us up on to the summit plateau before we eventually reach An Socach. It will take us about 30 minutes so I'll see you up there!
After a few test runs and weeks of chiropractic care on my back, it's finally time to start the climbing season with a climb up An Socach. An Socach (pronounced An S-Oh-Ack) is my 17th Munro and stands at 944 meters (3097 feet), and although not the longest of climbs parts of it are very steep.

By way of a rest from trains, a trawl through the back catalogue finds this image from a visit to Crosby Beach 14 years ago.
The characterful beach marker dominates the shot, but the place is better known for Sir Antony Gormley's 'Another Place' installation consisting of one hundred cast-iron figures, all in the artist's own likeness, positioned at intervals in the sand.
A few of them can be seen to the left of the beacon. As the tide ebbs and flows, the figures become more or less visible, and some become completely submerged at high tide.
In the distance is the wind-farm in the Mersey estuary which, love it or hate it, just seems to draw the eye. Taken in the evening at low tide as the sun went down, the artistic edit is designed to add a bit more drama to the scene.

When I captured this scene back in July, it was just the onset of yet another summer thunderstorm. One of countless similar images collected over the course of a seemingly endless stream of summer evenings. But they weren't endless. And looking back, this moment, like so many others, has forever escaped my grasp. I didn't post this photo in the moment because I figured there would be a better time, a better storm, better light, or maybe a better frame of mind for me to capture the scene. None of those conditions came to pass. And as it turns out, all of those better things existed only at the precise time I spent gazing across the meadow at this lone tree. I passed by this meadow the other day. The tree is still there. But nothing about the scene looks or feels the same as it did on that stormy July evening back when summer felt endless.
The name of my village, Markyate, refers to boundaries ('mark' and 'gate'). When you mark something out, you are drawing boundaries around it. Markers are signs pointing to these boundaries, many of them imaginary. There are plenty of these in the village.
This marker at the end of a wall is a kind of polyglott, its language will be understood around the world in various ways. What does it tell you?

The foxgloves have now finished. This photo was overlooked in my file so these are now slightly out of season.
The beauty of the 50mm lens (and this AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G is a beautiful lens) is that it clarifies everything to a specific point of view. If you want to increase your field of view, you have to walk backwards. Or in this case you become part of the landscape itself. You can't zoom in, you just have to get in there among the wide grasses on the river bank. For me the highlight was capturing that green channel marker.

This shot was taken the night of the full moon down at Portarlington with the moon just peeping up on the horizon behind the green marker. The clouds were nothing like the night before and so I just concentrated on the markers instead.
I tried to make the lighting dramatic for this shot. Really funny stuff was going on behind the scenes. I was balancing a flashlight across a pair of pants onto my husband's red shirt and aiming a different flashlight onto the marker. Then I switched the setup and tried to handhold the light onto the shirt. After a couple of minutes everything fell over so I decided to call it a day and work with the best shot I had. Lesson learned - the flashlights were not the same temperature of light so it did make it interesting but challenging to develop. I hope you got a smile out of my chaos.
