We've ended up with the 1st week of this year's summer holiday in the Durham Dales at Middleton-in-Teesdale pretty much by chance. Covid19 & lockdown made chaos of any other plans - just the same as for everyone else.
It's turned out totally brilliant! A very peaceful village in the terrific, wild landscape of the Northern Pennines: sweeping upland moors, great rivers and watercourses. Strange placenames & geographical features abound.
Imagine my excitement when even the most cursory research before our trip revealed about 10 disused mines within the immediate vicinity of the village. After dinner one evening, armed with the vaguest knowledge of where one was, I wandered off into the twilight to go take a look. Twenty minutes on foot from the house I stumbled upon this adit pretty much by chance. It doesn't seem to be any of the ones mentioned on the net and is not marked on the old maps. A small stream flows out the entrance and the first 50m are bricklined. After that the adit is tunnelled through the rock with great swathes of white crystals growing across the walls and small, white stalactites ('ceiling straws') sprouting from the roof. I abandoned progress about 100m in simply not in the mood for further adventure but the tunnel continued. An adventure for another day...
The image is acheived by an in-camera double-exposure: one exposure to light paint the foreground tunnel and the 2nd exposure to let me pop further into the tunnel and light paint that.

♥...Mas talvez você não entenda
Essa coisa de fazer o mundo acreditar
Que meu amor não será passageiro
Te amarei de janeiro a janeiro
Até o mundo acabar...♥
Before & after post processing. This 100+ year-old dairy farm barn and concrete silo (Keetch Family) is in the middle of a small town (St. Charles) in SE Idaho that has grown around it over the decades. Although there is very little overall light pollution in this rural area, there is quite a bit of local light pollution from several surrounding home yard lights, making the barn over lit with a mixture of sodium-vapor (yellow-orange) and mercury-vapor (green) light colors. Here are the corrective steps I took:
• Darken & desaturate the barn/silo via yellow channel
• Increased sky contrast (which reveals the
latent colors in the sky)
• Enhanced the Andromeda Galaxy*
• Reduce barn & silo keystone distortion
*The barn is facing the NE sky, so the core of the Milky Way is behind me.

It’s official! From all the behavioural signs the ospreys on the nest can be no other than our own No-ring and Mrs. And, as you can see from the grid, it is the earliest they have ever arrived. Good weather and tail winds probably helped them on their way. Without satellite tracking there is no way of knowing where they spent their winter. Gambia, Senegal or Mauritania are the most likely countries – anywhere where they can find a tree of their own and a place to fish. One thing is almost certain - they do not meet up in the tropics. They enjoy a singles winter-sun holiday for 7 months of the year and the delights of domesticity for the other 5.

Today, for instance, Mrs. has been nestling down creating a small cup in the middle of the larger nest structure and they have been mating regularly. When not otherwise occupied No-ring has been sitting in full telescope view on a tree just below the nest to keep out of the (very chilly) southerly wind. He has also been trying out other favourite posts, for fishing on the Lake.
