Mam Tor rears up above the western end of Hope Valley, overlooking Hope, Castleton and Edale.
It is believed to be one of the earliest hill forts in Britain, and the second highest at 1,700 feet above sea level.
Its name supposedly means ‘mother hill’, named so because it is shaped like a breast or because it keeps spawning mini-hills beneath it as bits drop off.
It is also known locally as the 'shivering mountain'. The hill side is said to ‘shiver’ as its rock crumbles away. This crumbling is particularly prominent on the east side of the mountain where the area below the face is continually in motion and each period of heavy rain undermines the loose shale and causes it to slip further down the valley.
The former A625 main road from Stockport to Sheffield once passed the base of the mountain but it was swept away by a landslide in 1974 and was eventually closed for good in 1979.

About
Garðar BA 64 is the oldest steel ship in Iceland, built in Norway in 1912. The ship was beached in "Skápadalur" in 1981, and now just waiting for its inevitable destiny.
The shot
3 exposure raw files (+2,0,-2) shot handhelt with my 17 - 55 Canon lens.
Photomatix
Tonemapped using details enhancer
Photoshop
Added a new adjustment layer of hue/saturation, converted that layer to B/W by desaturating the image, then i painted the colour back on the ship using the brush tool.
You
Just have a nice day.

The difference between Darkness and Light ... not always perceptible ... sometimes diffuse in the crossings of the soul ... but always distinct in our hearts when we believe in the power of Love !

Thank you so much for your kind visit, comments and invitations these last days dear friends, very late with all but trying catching up ...
I heard a loud bang on the dining room window and found a dead dove lying on the ground with a sparrowhawk standing on it. I don't know whether the sparrowhawk had killed the dove and flown into the window with it, or the dove flew into the window, was stunned and then killed by the sparrowhawk.
I rushed to get my camera, and on returning , the sparrowhawk had gone. So I went outside to take a photo of the dove. The sparrowhawk returned , and I was able to take photos from less than 3 yards through the window. It was very exciting to see the process of first plucking the dove and then eating it. Having eaten half the breast, the sparrowhawk flew away, and I was able to photograph the dove from outside.
Although the action seems horrific it is what happens in nature, and it is unusual to see it so close-up, especially in suburban surroundings
They were just playing together and then they wanted to calm down a bit, in a funny and cute position!
Another photo from the spider in the park. I just like that I got him right at the side of the picture and with this treatment, his tiny hairs stand out more.
♥ FP and EXPLORE ♥ ....3/8/09.... Best Position #13.... Thank you Friends!
This photograph is dedicated to my friend Mike (MSG Mike) who wrote me such a wonderful testimony. Mike has a Nikon D90 like me and that's how we "met" on Flickr. He is a very talented photographer so be sure to stop by and visit Mike’s Photostream . Thank you for your wonderful friendship, Mike! ♥
This is the inside of a clematis bloom that I photographed in October, four days after I got my D90. I am beginning to see signs of new growth taking place on this vine, as spring is starting to reveal itself. It has been in the 80's this weekend.... strange after having freezing weather and snow flurries less than two weeks ago.
NOTE:THANK YOU FRIENDS for your continual support of my photography, your lovely comments and encouragement and most of all for your enduring friendship. I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday and has a wonderful "blue" Monday, as well! ♥
We were positioned in a field outside Berlin when the sirens started to wail. The bombers were coming more and more frequently. We've barely been resupplied from the last time. It's no longer a question of if American tanks will roll over our position, but when? Out of our original 9 man crew, only 3 of us remained. Steffen had our remaining mp40, I manned the cannon and Andreas was wounded in the last attack. The only thing he'd be good for a the moment is taking potshots at the enemy, but if they get that close it's over for us anyway. The Third Reich is dead, it's just too stubborn to roll over.
Sunset at the harbour in Bonavista Newfoundland. This is a long exposure (about 4 minutes) taken at the tail end of sunset.
A still-life of the vintage Local Positioning System. The art of navigation in pre-space era. It works good and reliably and is powered by Natural Intellect only. Stylized photo.
Originally constructed in 1940, the fire lookout sits at an altitude of 11,402 feet with 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains. It was later retired from fire service and after several years of neglect, a team of people worked to restore the structure. It is now used for short term rental.

Der Aussichtsturm in Dürrenmettstetten ist ein inzwischen auch überregional sehr bekannter Aussichtsturm am Rande des Schwarzwalds, ähnlich dem Vogteiturm in Loßburg.
Er wurde 1998 von den Natur- und Wanderfreunden Dürrenmettstetten mit viel Eigenleistung und Spenden errichtet. Der Standpunkt des Turms ist genau 676 Meter über NN und mit einer Turmhöhe von 24 Metern befindet sich die Aussichtsplattform genau auf 700 Meter über NN.
Schon aus der Weite ist der imposante Turm auf dem Höhenplateau zwischen Oberiflingen und Dürrenmettstetten zu sehen.
Um so weiter ist jedoch die Sicht auf dem Turm, welcher ein lückenloses 360° Panorama ermöglicht!
Dabei reicht die Sicht vom Heckengäu über den Schönbuch bis nach Tübingen. Hier folgt das Panorama der Achalm (707 Meter über NN) bei Reutlingen in Richtung des Albtrauf der schwäbischen Alb. Über den Blick auf die Burg Hohenzollern geht es weiter in Richtung des Plettenbergs bei Balingen. Von hier aus ist bei sehr guter Sicht auch das Panorama der Alpen in der Zentralschweiz sichtbar. Über den Verlauf des Neckartals geht es dann weiter Richtung Südschwarzwald, wo unter anderem bei guter Sicht der Feldbergturm gut erkennbar ist. Dazwischen ist bei sehr guten Sichtverhältnissen der Blick auf das Berner Oberland mit den bekannten Gipfeln Mönch und Jungfrau gegeben. Das letzte Stück des Panoramas folgt vom Südschwarzwals in Richtung Nordschwarzwald. Hier ist unter anderem Freudenstadt erkennbar und ein Stück weiter der Gipfelrücken der Hornisgrinde mit Aussichtsturm.
Das gesamte Panorama (inklusive markanter Orientierungspunkten) wird über vier Aussichtstafeln beschrieben.
Wer mehr zum Turmbau und dessen Entstehung auch in Bildern erfahren möchte, kann dies auf der Homepage der Natur- und Wanderfreunde Dürrenmettstetten tun.
With the positioning of the final Lufthansa A380 from Frankfurt to Teruel in Spain for storage on the 14th September 2021, D-AIMH would end A380 operations with the airline & the end of some supersized photos, especially around Frankfurt.
(Disclaimer: This was shot at 7pm just before a campfire BBQ dinner, tons of light pollution but you gotta shoot the MW when its in position!!! LOL)..... Nothing beats looking up at the millions of Stars in the African sky from the edge of the Infinity pool on the Balcony of a Thatched roof house overlooking the Crocodile River, Kruger National Park while listening to the distant roar or shunt sounds of Lions or Leopards, laughs of the Hippo's and occasional other nightlife sounds in the distant darkness of the bushveld....
Safari + Dare to dream, just go do it! :D
Thanks for looking!

Positioning myself at this natural rock formation, I waited for the dramatic morning light to illuminate the desert landscape. The framing was carefully chosen to create a portal effect, using the mountain's natural arc to frame the distant cliffs. The golden morning light and dramatic clouds add an ethereal quality to this harsh desert environment.

Thank you for all your visits here!
Dedicated to all worldwide fathers. No doubt this is an eventful day for celebration with one's beloved dad. This year I'm not able to go home for such wonderful event... probably I will get the chance of doing so next year.
Happy Father's Day!!

Explored! #49 - highest position yet =)
Slept in a bit on Friday after getting up and checking the weather at 5:30. It was pretty much the same as Thursday so we decided there was no point going out and taking practically identical photos.
We went kayaking on Okarito Lagoon which was pretty cool except I managed to get myself completely soaked and Dad laughed at me. We saw Godwits, Pipers, Spoonbills, a blue heron and a couple of white herons. Dad and I were sharing a kayak and right as we were nearly back to shore managed to get stuck! It wasn't that bad though because a white heron was standing in the water maybe three or four metres away from us so that was awesome. We got unstuck after a little bit and returned to shore. I was so glad of a shower then!
After lunch Bee and I packed up our stuff and packed it into her car and set off. We had a break in Hokitika for a while and then drove as far as Kumara Junction before Bee remembered that we forgot to get petrol and the needle was on E. Luckily we weren't too far away from Hokitika so were able to drive back and fill up the tank.
We didn't stop again until Arthur's Pass for a quick toilet break and also made friends with four Keas who were hanging out by the carpark.
From there we drove on until we reached Castle Hill which has totally amazing limestone rock formations. It's near Flock Hill Station which was used in The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. Both Bee and I got a bit carried away with our cameras and when we got back to the car realised just how long we'd been there.
She dropped me home about ten and I was very glad of being able to go to my own bed and have a nice long sleep. Speaking of bed, that's where I'm headed right now because I have yet another early start tomorrow because I have a plane to catch and a course to go to (and my Viking Essay to finish off).
