It’s up and down at the moment. Over the last 3 weeks I’ve had a more active time photography wise after a good period of inactivity, but now I’m feeling a little burnt out again. I may venture out tomorrow morning to perversely shoot a rain forecast sunrise, that should really put the dampeners on the old photography lark.
Another shot from the High Stile ridge, giving the wider view of Pillar and its slopes falling away down to Ennerdale water and the flat lands beyond, that lead eventually to the Irish Sea.
The Ennerdale car park is at the far end of the water, so it was a two and a half hour trudge along that track in the valley bottom even before beginning the ascent..
The view from Cape Hauy South towards Cape Pillar.
The sheer cliffs of dolomite columns are a characteristic of this coastline, with only small pockets of sedimentary sandstone.

According to some Roman sources, while on his way to the garden of the Hesperides on the island of Erytheia, Hercules had to cross the mountain that was once Atlas. Instead of climbing the great mountain, Hercules used his superhuman strength to smash through it. By doing so, he connected the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and formed the Strait of Gibraltar. One part of the split mountain is Gibraltar and the other is either Monte Hacho or Jebel Musa. These two mountains taken together have since then been known as the Pillars of Hercules, though other natural features have been associated with the name.

Another long exposure from beneath Deal Pier from a couple of weeks ago taken with the NiSi 10 stopper. The distortion was quite pronounced at this ultra-wide angle, but the new upright correction tool in Lightroom 5.3 took care of that!
After I took this shot, I was stunned at the result. The way the patterns of light mixed with the textures of the concrete amazed me. I took several more shots from the same spot, but none had the same grainy feel to it. I guess because this was at 1600 ISO. Most of the others were at 100 ISO.
Taken during a night shoot under the Esplanade Bridge.

Interior of the cellar in the small open-air museum in Djerba Explore Park :)
The small open-air museum, called "Heritage," is an open-air village, reminiscent of the island's former lifestyle. Visitors can explore a residential building resembling a small fortress, with living quarters organized around an internal courtyard. The museum also houses an olive oil press, a pottery workshop, and a weaving workshop. Another attraction is a demonstration of water being pumped from a well using a camel.
Djerba Explore Park is a tourist attraction in Djerba (Tunisia), consisting of three parts: the Lalla Hadria Museum, a small open-air museum showcasing the life of the former inhabitants, and the Crocodile Farm. The park is located on the eastern part of the island, near Cape Taguermes. On the photo the commercial zone of the park with shops and cafes and Tunisian-style buildings.

Wnętrze piwniczki w niewielkim skansenie na terenie Djerba Explore Park :)
Niewielki skansen nazywany „Dziedzictwo” to wioska położona pod gołym niebem, stylizowana na istniejący niegdyś styl życia na wyspie. Można tam zwiedzać dom mieszkalny, wyglądem przypominający małą fortecę, gdzie część mieszkalna zorganizowana jest wokół wewnętrznego dziedzińca. W skansenie jest też tłocznia oliwy, warsztat garncarski oraz warsztat tkacki. Atrakcją jest też pokaz pompowania wody ze studni przy pomocy wielbłąda.
Djerba Explore Park to kompleks turystyczny na Djerbie, w Tunezji, składający się z trzech części: Muzeum Lalla Hadria, niewielkiego skansenu ukazującego życie dawnych mieszkańców oraz Farmy Krokodyli. Park znajduje się we wschodniej części wyspy, w pobliżu przylądka Taguermes. Na zdjęciu strefa komercyjna parku ze sklepikami i kawiarniami oraz budynkami w stylu tunezyjskim.
