Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xođź’śđź’ś
Todays weather has been absolutely dreadful, a day off work and zero opportunity to shoot anything, extremely low cloud and rain all day. Then this evening came and the rain stopped and for once the low cloud ad light pollution worked in my favour. I think so anyway. This was shot at Largs yacht Haven in North Ayrshire, Scotland.
It looks really pretty, BUT it is pollution. There is the street overflow. So after rain there is alot of debris. There is an inbetween station thats collects bottle sticks whatever before it travel to next pond. There are several of these collect basins before it ends up in Lake Ontario. This is the 1st collect basin. The blue colour is reflection a blue grafitti. I have no clue what debris was but it was very thick cream like gathering around the stick. I was very hard to focus on. Good manul focus practise. Straight from camera.

Someone thinks of entertaining the donkeys with a Sony TV that he kindly dumped near their pen. He does not know that donkeys do not have time to watch television and that if they would had hands they would be able to get rid of the television in a more rational and less polluting way.
The dew pond from South Downs Way between J&J Windmills and Ditchling Beacon. This was taken about 2 hours after sunset. The yellow tinge in the sky is from the AmEx stadium, the artificial lighting helping to condition the pitch there. The orange tinge on the right comes from the light pollution from Brighton and Hove
When night shootings go bad, it's fun to still play with them.. Maybe not the best quality, but i like the mood when city lights hit the clouds.

The Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is a penguin endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It is the only penguin that lives north of the equator in the wild. It can survive due to the cool temperatures resulting from the Humboldt Current and cool waters from great depths brought up by the Cromwell Current.
While ninety percent of the Galápagos penguins live among the western islands of Fernandina and Isabela, they also occur on Santiago, Bartolomé, northern Santa Cruz, and Floriana. The northern tip of Isabela crosses the equator, meaning that some Galápagos penguins live the northern hemisphere, the only penguins to do so.
The species is endangered, with an estimated population size of around 1,500 individuals in 2004, according to a survey by the Charles Darwin Research Station. The population underwent an alarming decline of over 70% in the 1980s but is slowly recovering. It is therefore the rarest penguin species (a status which is often falsely attributed to the yellow-eyed penguin).
Population levels are influenced by the effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation, which reduces the availability of shoaling fish, leading to low reproduction or starvation. However, anthropogenic factors (e.g. oil pollution, fishing by-catch and competition) may be adding to the ongoing demise of this species. On Isabela Island, cats, dogs, and rats attack penguins and destroy their nests. When in the water, they are preyed upon by sharks, fur seals, and sea lions. – Wikipedia
. . . This is the view looking towards Grand Rapids from 35 miles away! The clouds there helped reflect city light a bit, but even 2.5 hours after sunset, you could still see the glow from the city!
The red light inside the Muskegon Community College Observatory is for the safety of people inside, and is the best color to not ruin the human eye's night vision.
Have a great weekend Facebook and Flickr friends!
I think this is the swan that was starving to death after it got a plastic Six pack rings around when it was younger.
I had to time my visit to the tower because the strobe lights are only on for about five minutes every hour on the hour from ten PM till near morning. I was there at midnight along with literally thousands of others. I set up on some steps and raised my tripod as high as it would go to try to shoot over the heads of the crowd.
The earlier shots of the tower showed it with the strobe lights off. In post I decided to add a little more bling and so I changed the sky to include the milky way. There is no other way to get stars which are actually there to show up with all that light pollution.
