Well today is Thanksgiving, a day of thanks for all, more than the food we eat but for each other, I am thankful for each person I know because our paths did cross for a reason, Have a great day and be thankful 😊🙏💖
"...Oh I see by the angel beside me
That love has a reason to shine ..."
Bob Dylan , 1970 album New Morning
There are many reasons to go to the rural parts of Britain for a holiday, but beauty, peace and wonderful days out might be the most important.
I have far too many photos from our UK holiday in 2018, so I thought I would do what we all fear most of all, make a lovely collection of my holidaysnaps to show you.
But it was too many, so this is just a few glimpses to things we did in Lake District that I haven't alreaddy posted.
The main photo is from Eskdale. Eskdale is a glacial valley and civil parish in the western Lake District National Park, west of the Hardknott Pass. We are heading for the tiny village of Boot.
There are more photos in the first comment.
A yellow-crowned night heron (Nyctanassa violacea) coming in for a landing. I was following it from a distance but just before it arrived some reeds came between us. Nevertheless, firing off shots left one in which there was a clean line of sight to the head, while the rest of the bird was left partially obstructed. I suspect this is the reason behind the low contrast. I very much like the overall look. Unfortunately, it isn't a look that I could easily replicate.
All favs and comments are very much appreciated!
Happy Holidays to all!
Have you ever in your Life Encountered a Scene that you just thought was unreal or felt Dream Like? ---- One of those scenes that if you talked to your friends about it they just wouldn't understand, A Scene you wish you only had a Picture of to show the Sheer Power and the Beauty off! ---- Well this is my Example of one of those Scenes! ---- At this Moment you could feel the positivity in the Day, the Power of the Waves crashing into the Rocks fueled the power inside of me, the Light was feeding my sense of Hope and Happiness for Life! ---- This is why i have named this image "The Reason"
Whilst going out to take photos in remote areas is exercise and is unlikely to be high risk for virus transmission, the government guidelines do ask us to minimise the time spent outdoors. For the different types of photography that interest myself I am unlikely to capture the images I want in an hour or so, and so therefore might as well not bother.... not to mention all the kit I need to lug about - I hardly look like I'm purely taking exercise.... then there is the 'unnecessary' car journey I would need to make.... oh and the looks and comments I would get from people who might live more 'locally' than myself.... even if I travelled within my own 'local council' borough. Perhaps the government can have two different definitions of the word 'local'.
Anyway, for all these reasons, photography is off the cards for myself at the moment. So the bonus is looking through the archives.
For now, that's where my images are coming from.
Keeping myself busy though building a new website, putting a couple of books together and of course elite sport is continuing for the time being so my other 'day' job is taking a good slice of my time too.
Many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and/or comment on some of my images.

The Christmas Bells are out! Seems like a good year for them too, with plenty on show around the local tracks. Seeing them always adds a little extra smile to the walk.

'Why must you shed such tender tears,
In the evening of your years?
No other love could stem the tide,
Of the loneliness I hide.
Open your heart and let me live,
All the promises I could give.
The sun and moon and all the stars,
They bow down to you,
Whenever you pass.
In a world of fading sadness,
An emerald ring, a photograph.
That look in your eyes, the brush of your cheek,
These are the moments in life that I seek.
No reason or rhyme, no presence of mind,
Just a dance to the music of time.'

Well, the other reason I got a little shiver as I looked down over Dunraven Bay in Wales was not just because Paul was standing next to me, but because Mr Bob Dylan had walked this same path.
In 1987, this area was used as a location for the filming of Hearts of Fire, a film widely criticized for the story line and acting.Of course I saw it at the movies. I don't remember too much apart from Dylan just being Dylan with his glorious 1980s look, big hair, eyeliner, puffy shirts and earings. I remember enjoying Molly's voice. I just listened to some of the sound track and realised I knew some of the words so I must have listened to it abit at the time.
Further below from where I took yesterdays upload, there is al small cove and seats where one of the scene's was filmed. I couldn't make it any further so Paul went down and took this photo for me!
Here it is. Just abit of fan-girling. Why not?
Dawn light sweeps across a prairie dog town as a small group of Mule Deer does and fawns crosses the open ground. The rut was on, but for some reason none of the big bucks had rounded them up. It was a little disappointing, because I was out there looking for photo ops showing such interactions. On the other hand, I couldn't complain about the light!
The Mule Deer rut is the last "big wildlife event" of the year. Things will be pretty quiet until the migratory birds begin returning next March. Nevertheless, random encounters can happen, and I can always find other photo ops: landscapes, close ups, indications of weather. Really, what I photograph is life.
Besides, I love winter light on the northern prairie. The sun's shallow arc keeps the light warm even at midday. In August, it's all over by about 10 a.m. if not earlier; during winter months, the light is good all day long. The rest is up to us photographers.

For some reason Evil Teddy Bear speaks with a Russian accent in my head, just like Kevin Durand would...:)
The Netflix drama “13 Reasons Why” is filmed, in part, down the road a couple of miles where I used to live - in the city of Vallejo, California.
As the signs in the window indicate, this is a film set and it is a “FAKE PHARMACY.” There is a real pharmacy close by on the same street in an equally charming old building – causing no end of confusion for residents and visitors alike. I guess someone hoped some signage would help.
There are many reasons why one might decide to become fleet of foot. However, I think a large crack in the Earth right behind you might be all the encouragement I needed.
We have visited this waterfall a number of times before. Most shoot this from the left side of the falls, as have I. The trails take you right up to the face of the falls. That's easy enough. However I have always wanted to see what it looked like from the far right side. Trouble is, that side is hard to get to. First, you have to cross the river. I guess that's no biggie but it's not an easy river to cross. This time I brought my waders. I have not had good luck with these in the past, in fact they caused me to fill my camera bag with water in the past. See, the bottom of the feet are hard plastic and they get no traction on the rocks. Anyway, this time they worked well.
So once across the river, you are facing a wall of delicate moss. This is one of the reasons to see this waterfall. Being one of those that always tries to be unbelievably respectful of the landscape, this created the biggest challenge. I needed to get up and almost behind the moss covered hill to see the smaller series of falls that usually hide in the shadows. I started by staying in the many small streams that fall down the hill face because there is no chance for footprints in the moss. Once over there I saw that I was not the first to try to walk up to this side. It seemed my predicessor also tread lightly. Even so, I could see thier footprints, so I followed those to minimize my trek.
It was a slow climb, not because it was hard, but because of the care taken. I had finally reached the top and I have to be honest, I was not all that impressed. Well, I was there, let's see what I can do. I wanted the full scene so I reached for the fisheye. This is an all new fisheye for me. My classic Tokina 10-17 has now left the bag and a new Sigma 8mm has entered the scene. This was my first outing with this glass. It worked well, but it was not weather sealed and being at the top of the moss hill it was clear why the moss was there. I was getting soaked. Wipe, shoot. Wipe, shoot. Wipe shoot. By the time I left the hill I was soaked. So was the gear.
So this is a bracket blend because it was dark up there under the trees at the top of moss mountain. Let me know what you think.

i've been posting a lot of similar photos lately; I think because lately I've been more interested in editing than taking pictures. It's a phase I'm going through that I'm sure will pass.
On another note, I look like a giant here. I blame it on the wide angle adaptor for the Lensbaby. You never know what kind of distortion you're going to have to deal with. I suppose that's part of the fun.
Happy Tuesday to all.
Vernunft / Reason
[...]
Vernunft ist ein komplizierter Instinkt, der noch nicht voll entwickelt ist. Das würde bedeuten, dass eine Instinkthandlung stets sinnvoll und natürlich ist. Eine Million Jahre werden vergehen, und der Instinkt wird so ausgebildet sein, dass wir keine Fehler mehr machen können – Fehler, die offensichtlich ein integraler Bestandteil der Vernunft sind. Wenn sich dann aber im Universum etwas verändert, werden wir aussterben, weil wir verlernt haben, Fehler zu machen – das heißt, verschiedene, vom starren Programm nicht vorgesehene Varianten auszuprobieren…
[...]
Aus: "Picknick am Wegesrand" von Arkadi und Boris Strugatzki

Reason is a complicated instinct that is not yet fully developed. This would mean that instinctual actions are always meaningful and natural. A million years will pass away, and the instinct will be trained that we can no longer make mistakes - mistakes that are obviously an integral part of reason. But if something changes in the universe then we will die out because we have forgotten how to make mistakes - that is, to try different variants not planned by the rigid program ...

This little blonde bombshell resides in Adelaide Zoo and is quite the stunner. She was born with the normal colours of a meerkat but her fur has faded to white over time. While the reasons why are unknown, this colour change makes her a very special little lady indeed.
One reason I love to visit Pompeii and Ercolano as often as I can, is the ease in which one is transported back to ancient times thanks to the wealth of buildings, objects and art that were preserved during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD.
Every visit is full of intrigue and wonder, my imagination on overdrive, contemplating ancient times and lives within the two cities.
This most beautiful lararium can be seen within the thermopolium of Vetutius Placidus.
Located on the via dell’ Abbondanza, the tavern sold drinks and hot food. Placidus' home quarters are at the rear.
The shrine seen here, is placed on the back wall of the tavern, visible from the outside. The art work depicts the lari (the protectors of the household), holding aloft horns, then the genius (divine spirit) protector of the owner at centre. One can also see Mercury, the god of trade and Dionysus, the god of wine.
A hoard of nearly 3 kg of coins was found in one of the large clay jars placed in the counter. Probably the last collections of Placidus and perhaps attesting the profitable activity of his tavern.

My main reason for hiking to this beautiful lake in the Alpstein moutains of Switzerland, was the close-up 'deepscape' from my last post, but of course I could not resist to cature the beauty of this place in a more traditional way too.
As the lake was starting to freeze, the reflection was not as perfect as I hoped, but I like how the fiery reds in the sky are contrasting the freezing landscape below.

All losses are caused by different reasons, but a select few of them happen because something was straight out taken from us, or we were taken ourselves. Imagine being not only stripped of your clothes, your dignity, and your pride, but also being forced to go along for the ride. A ride that involves no acceptance, no going with the flow, no ability to fight, just being absolutely forced to comply with everything and everyone being taken from you.
This can all be metaphorical to describe a situation in your life, but it can also be exactly what it describes. Sex trafficking is still a very real thing and is one of the worst kind of losses you can go through as a human being. Did you know that over 27 million people a year are forced into jobs, not just sexual ones, but hard labor jobs as well? You hear about the numbers sometimes of women and girls forced to be sex slaves, but you don't hear about the number of slaves working on farms, ranches, in mines, and this doesn't even include the number of inmates locked up on bogus crimes and forced to do the jobs society has deemed undesirable. Silenced, subdued, shackled, and sometimes raped repeatedly, there are depths a person can fall into that are unimaginable while the rest of the world declares "We should do something." While sipping their starbucks, and going to get a massage on the weekend at the spa from one of the trafficked women in town.
Next time you feel like you've lost everything, just remember there's a lot further you could fall, and your situation can most likely be fixed a lot easier than some other people's darkest days.
The prime reason I turned away from B&W photography was Saul Leiter. The way he used color beyond visual content was a revelation for me.
So when I saw this fine man in his gold parka I was set to shoot. Little did I expect a wonderful red sedan would make my shot.
Color - beautiful, delicious color.
Orpiment mineral is a bright yellow color with a golden glow. Its resemblance to gold was a constant tantalization to the ancient and medieval painters.
Alizarin is a red dye found in the roots of the madder plant and the powdered roots are used directly in textile dyeing process.
this photos seems to be incrementally accumulating false viewing stats, for reasons known only to flickr. it started getting extra views in, i reckon, early january 2023 and has now got about 1100 more than it would have under normal circumstances (17 02 2023). this might not sound too bad but it's a real distortion of reality and i am very unhappy about it.

Reasons
“Inside the eggshell of her mind,
she could live without being unkind.
We may wonder about her,
but there is nothing left to know.
Already home,
she had no reason to leave.
She had the impulse to fly.
She had no reason to live.
Tangled, her dress,
as she fell down the face
of the building like a tear.
Don’t you get tired
of asking your fear
what the sound was
that her bones made,
on yielding to the still ground.
She had a reason to dream.
She had the impulse to fly.
Already home.”

This bunny and its buddies are everywhere in our landscape this year and are the reason for several of perennials not growing above a 6-inch height, all munched down by these culprits :(
Still, my wife and I love them, and when they allow me to capture soft and lovely images like this, the few lost flowers are worth it :)
Rosguill Peninsula, Melmore, Downings, County Donegal, Ireland
Three of my favourite beaches are captured on this photo. Firstly, you can see the stunning ‘Boyeeghter Bay’ or as most know it as “The Murder Hole Beach” in the foreground. Behind it’s shadowing hill of ‘Gortnalughoge’ can be seen ‘Tra Na Rossan Beach’ & if your eyes are really sharp then you may just see ‘Tramore Beach’ in the extreme distance under the clouds on ‘Sheephaven Bay’ with ‘Muckish Mountain’ to the right.
This photo clearly shows the very reason I love Ireland so much! There aren’t many other places that I’ve visited in the world that has so many pristine beauty spots all at such close proximity from each other. Especially in this area of north Donegal, as you can visit a beach, then travel a few minutes to arrive at an even prettier beach, castle, mountain etc
I can proudly say that the slogan “Ireland has it all” could not be any truer in my humble opinion ☘️

2038 was the power car on the rear of Amtrak Acela 2251. The train stops briefly at Back Bay, minutes out of Boston's South Station, where Amtrak does a brisk business. While Back Bay station is mostly subterranean, the east end of the platform area does open up slightly, allowing for a view of the adjacent "skyline". This is the reason Acela exists...fast intercity service direct to downtown locations.
