Taken for the Saturday Self Challenge "Parallel"
A field of vines at one of the two Vineyards on the Isles of Scilly. The vines have to be netted to prevent birds from completely stripping the fruit.

I didn't see it when I took the picture but there seems to be three different worlds in each window. a twilight zone moment me thinks.
Symmetry is always fun to capture as it is just so pleasing on the eyes. That with the addition of high contrast caused by the shading trees above help make an awesome mood.
Took this pic in Breizh this year - liked the determined stride of the nuns crossing the beach at "high noon".
Don't know if I like it more in bw or in colour...
Well, it is not the first time I have been shooting in this place (which is by the way just downstair the the building where my son go on french class every Saturday mornings). The architecture there is very interesting for me and the way the light and shadow are playing a major role let me wish to come and shoot here again and again. Some infrastructures may required a little bit of maintenance, but this is China and that is also part of the charm of this place. If it was fully refurbished, I'm not sure that I would be interested to come here again.
This is China~~
To commemorate the 70th Birthday of both R766 and 5917, The Picnic Train organised a special parallel run between Waratah and Maitland. This post shows the parallel run flying past Pitnacree Road.
The Parallel Roads represent the shorelines of ice-dammed lakes. Typically they are narrow benches (several metres wide) cut into the bedrock of the hillsides and in places covered by remnants of lake beach gravel. They extend along much of Glen Roy and Glen Gloy and parts of Glen Spean. Probably they formed through a combination of intense frost weathering and wave action along the lake shore zone. The control of lake levels by the different cols allowed the lakes to persist for sufficiently long periods such that even the hard, Precambrian bedrock was broken up and eroded.
An ice field developed to the west of Glen Roy and the Great Glen, with a further ice centre to the south, over Rannoch Moor. Glaciers flowed eastwards along the glens from the ice field in the Western Highlands. One tongue of ice blocked the entrance to Glen Gloy, while another extended eastwards to block lower Glen Roy. Here it met a glacier that had extended into the middle section of Glen Spean. The blocking of Glen Spean led to a lake being impounded. As the glacier advanced up lower Glen Roy, it cut off a lake in this valley and the rising water eventually found its way across a pass.
A further advance of the glacier up Glen Roy resulted in the blocking of this exit for the water, and the lake rose further, to drain across the low ground at the head of the Roy and Spey glens. A lake at a higher level impounded in Glen Gloy drained through the head of this glen across a pass into Glen Roy. As the ice retreated, the overflows were unblocked in the reverse order; finally the ice dam broke near Spean Bridge and the lake drained away under the glacier very suddenly and rapidly towards the Great Glen
There was a great display of crepuscular rays coming through the clouds over the town and I always appreciate this elegant perspective effect which makes it look like the photons travelling along parallel paths from the sun to the earth look like they fan out in different directions. It is no more complicated than understanding why two railroad tracks seem to move together as they disappear into the distance but this is a bit more spectacular.
hi,
this is my last work, hope you like it

Parallel moves approaching Wakefield Kirkgate with Toton allocated 25065 heading east light engine on the trough line overtaking Crewe allocated 47264 approaching the station platform with an express formed of a mix of Mark I and Mark IIabc coaching stock, 22nd July 1976.
Locomotive History
25065 was built at Derby Works in 1963 as D5215 and was one of a small number of Class 25 locomotives fitted with a Stone Vapor L4610 train heating boiler. It entered traffic in July 1963 allocated to Toton before transfer to Cricklewood a month later. It remained in the London area for the next eleven years with spells at both Cricklewood and Willesden before returning to Toton in January 1975. It transferred to Springs Branch in October 1976 and its final move was to Haymarket in May 1977, from where it was withdrawn in February 1981. Its withdrawal was a bit of a surprise as it had received a classified repair (Intermediate) at Glasgow Works only eleven months earlier. It was broken up during February 1982 at Swindon Works. 47264 was originally D1964 and was built at Crewe Works, entering traffic on the September 1965. In 1984 it was fitted with electric train heating and emerged from Crewe Works in August 1984 as 47619. In June 1989 it was fitted with long range fuel tanks and renumbered 47829. It was withdrawn in March 2006 and eventually broken up during February 2013 by CF Booth Rotherham.

Taken on the A166 between Stamford Bridge and Garrowby Hill. I drive past this field every day on the way to work, and I've said for ages that I need to stop and get a shot in.
These rock fins I found two days after the previous photo, in a place four miles away. They are in a remote area of the Paria Plateau not likely visited by anyone. I have also found similar intact flakes eight miles away in another direction, and on West Clark Bench 8 miles in the opposite direction. The process that produced these covered a large area, even out to Valley of Fire, Nevada, 150 miles to the west.
Layers of Navajo sandstone, initially laid down horizontally, with alternating bands of hardness, were tilted up at an angle, causing them to erode in fantastic ways like this. The rock fins can stick out of the ground several feet in places (see previous photo).
Delicate and easily breakable, these fins would not last long if a busload of children came out here to play. Fortunately, the bad roads and hiking distances make heavy visitation unlikely. Some of the flakes may have been broken by cattle. If you ever explore out here, stay away and don't disturb them. Leave them for others to wonder at. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see these in their intact state.
On my YouTube channel, you can watch my "New Discoveries on the Paria Plateau" where I found these. Three episodes have been posted so far, and another is coming later this month.
