Newport, Rhode Island gained a reputation as a playground for the rich and is home to some of the most impressive mansions from America's gilded age, but the area has always been home to a working maritime industry, as well, with a rich nautical history. Castle Hill Light is small at only 34', and far from opulent, but it performs its duty with the steadfast resolve of a New England waterman, regardless of the conditions.

 

Remotely located at the end of Ocean Drive, this granite guardian is an active navigation aid for all vessels entering the East Passage of Narragansett Bay between Conanicut Island (seen in the background) and Aquidneck Island.

With a fly in its sights! This was the only shot I got that was remotely usable out of a few hundred! Keeping them in the viewfinder is well shall we say, difficult to say the least!

 

It has to do with eye appeal :-)

Ayaz-Kala is an archaeological site in Northern Uzbekistan, built between the 4th century BCE and the 7th century CE. Situated on a hilltop overlooking the Kyzylkum Desert, the site encompasses the ruins of an ancient Khorezm fortress.

 

Ayaz Kale (also Ayaz-Kala or Ayaz-Qala) in Uzbekistan, a group of clay fortresses is in Choresm. They date during the centuries shortly after Christ's birth.

 

The arrangement is on the edge the desert Kysylkum about 70 km of Urgench remotely and exists of three fortresses; a lower, middle and upper fortress. The middle and upper fortresses are on natural increases.

 

They were built between the 4th century B.C. and the 7th century A.D. and the upper fortress is the oldest one. They served the protection of the local population before raids of nomads.

 

At that time an oasis was in her immediate nearness. For about 1300 years the fortresses are unoccupied. In the 1940s they were rediscovered by the archeologist Sergei Pawlowitsch Tolstow and were exposed.

A slightly different view of Neist Point Lighthouse on the Isle of Skye.

I would like to have spent a bit more time there to see if the conditions and light changed but the Midges had the better of me!!

 

Neist Point Lighthouse, designed by David Alan Stevenson, was first lit on 1st November 1909. An aerial cableway is used to take supplies to the lighthouse and cottages. Since 1990, the lighthouse has been operated remotely from the Northern Lighthouse Board headquarters in Edinburgh.

There is always a place not far from you..and you.. and you... and me ...

there are deep inside, behind the heart door hidden treasures,

we call them senses and sometimes the breath of a voice reaches us.

Quietly, almost shyly, she remotely reaches our Eyes and ears, gives warmth ...

strokes our skin with waves of joy covers the heart with dreams of silk.

Oasis of the senses is the name of this place ...!

 

Kalimera my dear Flickr- friends and followers !

Wishing everyone a wonderful, joy-filled day !

So... I am finally on the road to recovery and back to photography again thank Gaia. For anyone who remotely gives a shit I was off for a while with a chest virus, and guess what? It wasn't Covid, ya know there's more than one virus in the world, still, but trying telling that to a big pharma corporate commissioned doctor and paranoid brainwashed pharmacist! !

 

Now, about the photo, my best friend was gifted with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and so by dusting off the Raynox I got a macro of the beautiful colours that I thought looked rather like a muted toned sunset, I struggled for a name but in the end entitled it with every adjective I could work around what I thought it looked like the most.

 

I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

Taken from a portable hide using two remotely operated flash guns.

My 'neighbourhood', the Isle of Skye.

 

Took advantage of the lovely day for a visit to Neist Point. This location is generally packed with visitors, but on this occasion nearing the end of lockdown (hopefully!), there was barely a handful of cars and we saw hardly anyone.

 

The Neist Point lighthouse is one of the Stevenson lighthouses, first lit on November 1, 1909. There are no longer any lighthouse keepers in residence, it has been operated remotely by the Northern Lighthouse Board since 1990.

Sunrise at 6:15am, on the very popular Main Beach, just slightly to the south of Cavill Ave.

 

There are no foreground subjects like a headland or rock outcrops hereabouts to create more interest, so I was fortunate to encounter partial scattered cloud cover, which morphed beautifully in shape, light and colour during the shoot.

 

This is one of a sequence of 200 remotely fired shots of this event, over 50 minutes from 5:58 till 6:48am. A rookie experiment for sure! Tripod as low down as I could manage in the sand, and surrounded by water with the incoming waves – a little scary. My only work with a GND filter.

 

Timing and angle sorted by using 'The Photographer's Ephemeris', which is a good tool for anticipating lighting conditions – shotkit.com/photographers-ephemeris/

 

A photographer told me that the only way to do this properly was to get wet. She was right!

 

There are photographers on Flickr who do beautiful work along this beach, or shooting towards it from further south, at various times of the day. It always generates the most wonderful atmosphere, in all conditions.

The colors of Ukraine for the Smile on Saturday group - SoS.

S0S - also an internationally recognized distress signal.

 

The unusual texture comes from a macro image of a microfiber towel. Several years ago, I was playing around with macros on my old Canon G12 [my favorite camera - alas, left on a plane and never recovered]. I snapped a photo of a towel we used for drying our cars and got the interesting texture above. That original was a dull goldish color, which I saturated yellow and blue in photoshop and then pieced together here. I couldn't find a circular black frame, so I vignetted the image in mac Photos to get the black background.

 

Btw, I have tried taking macros of other microfiber cloths with other cameras in the years since, but I never get anything that looks remotely like that old towel. I don't know if it was the cloth or the camera or me, but that original seems to be one of a kind.

For each ear - brand new!

Made a change to get off my belly and take a photograph standing up! Seems anything remotely worth photographing is no more than 4" high at the moment! :^)

Hurst Green, near Clitheroe, Lancashire

 

Came across a new woodland today with loads of potential, the only issue I had was that I had no tripod with me and therefore had to bang up the ISO to get anything remotely decent. Must return with tripod as it has so much potential.

Серая ворона с черной головой,

Краски ей природа не нашла иной.

Голос хриплый, резкий, только «кар» да «кар»,

Но она в округе лучший санитар.......................A gray crow with a black head,

nature has not found another color for it.

Her voice is hoarse, harsh, only "kar" and "kar",

but she is the best nurse in the area.....

For those of you old enough to remember the classic Bond film of the same name (it was the same name, no?), the golden girl in the opening had nothing on this rather startling and certainly spectacular specimen I happened upon yesterday. As one who has spent a significant amount of quality time with dragonflies and am familiar with the many varieties abounding by the lake, I have never seen anything even remotely like this. In fact I am even more amazed looking at it today.

 

There is absolutely no processing magic involved in this as you can see from the entirely natural colors showing in the bonus selfie reflection on the window behind the screen on which it sat. I have included a second photo in comments primarily to confirm the reality of this golden apparition. No doubt an omen relating to the dragonfly's primary symbolism of change...and a significant one at that. I'll let you know when I discover its portent....if I can, of course.

 

two thoughts: i do this drive-by shot maybe four times a week and never get it centered. until today. i don't think that's meaningful, just useful since i don't want to actually pull over in winter. so here we have another one of my over-used motifs. thought 2, entirely random, was that naming a tunnel after lincoln was pretty insulting if you compare it to the george washington bridge. driving thru the lincoln tunnel is like driving thru the port authority bathrooms, circa 1972. the only remotely awesome thing about the lincoln tunnel is that it was built under a river. well, maybe that's the answer. beauty is only river deep.

Large Australian robin. Male slaty gray above, with gray head and chin and small white spot above the bill. Breast and belly a bright orange-red. Black upperwing shows extensive white panels. Female brown above, paler brown below; darker wing with pale panels. In Tasmania, similar female Dusky Robin lacks pale wing panels. Forages in small flocks on the ground in farmland, grasslands, parks, and other open habitats in southeastern Australia and Tasmania. (eBird)

A sudden flash of colour heralded the presence of this beautiful bird in the soggy meadow. We aw this bird and his mate just once. At least I managed a fairly decent record shot.

 

Not related even remotely to northern hemisphere robins. These robins are endemic to Australia.

Only took one shot yesterday . . . the batteries died right after I took it and then little man went to bed. I was hoping it was at least remotely in focus.

Local library in lock down. Virtual books are flying off the shelves though as people read remotely.

The Shoveler (Anas clypeata) is a holarctic bird of the duck family (Anatidae). It is only a little smaller than the well-known mallard. The drake has in the splendor dress a strikingly high-contrast plumage. In its coloring it remotely reminds of that of the Brandgans.

6:33am.

 

One of some 200 sequential shots of this sunrise, from before the sun appeared at the horizon. Shot remotely using a GND filter and the tripod set as low as possible in the sand, with the incoming water rushing around it. That was a little frightening with some of the waves coming in.

 

I had never attempted this before, so I asked one photographer about the best way to manage the process. Her advice was simply 'Get wet'. I sort of managed that bit pretty well, and just kept on shooting!

"Or are you going to make me put these back on?"

Guess whose back? Trick question, because it's not who you're expecting. Instead you get me, your favourite sub-calibre Flickrite who is now *apparently* a Pro.

 

Like many people I'm sure, I haven't uploaded in awhile because I didn't approve of Flickr's new policy, but unfortunately their policy trumps my policy and in the end, I decided coughing over £7 a month was worth being able to continue the photo journey I'm on. I'm not saying I remotely agree with their policy decision, but frankly? I don't think anything we do at this point is going to matter.

 

So instead, you all get a slight return to the normal, me rambling on in this comment box and what I like to think is a halfway decent photo!

Twist is the topic for Macro Mondays, so I twisted a length of monofilament fishing line into a knot tied to the twisted eye of a snap swivel, and, voila! ~~ two twists.

 

For lighting, I set a gold reflector a few inches to the right of the subject and bounced a remotely fired SB600 flash off the reflector, with the flash almost touching the reflector.

Pagham Harbour North Wall

Stuck at home while it's raining this morning instead of playing golf there is only one thing to do - trawl through the archives for anything remotely worth posting.

The thuja hedge is a place of major interest for the cats as it is always full of birds. Sethi spends a lot of time on the fence provided that the dogs who live in the garden on the other side of the fence aren't around. Of course he wouldn't even remotely think of trying to catch a bird....

I love mountains, but I live far from them. So if I start to feel nostalgia and want to enjoy sceneries that at least remotely remind mountain panoramas, I have to be inventive. So, if I try really hard, I could imagine that this is a view of distant low mountain ranges, maybe a red church of the Alps, and the wide and high sky over them...

 

Actually this capture was taken through the window of a moving bus, a normal photographer's no-no. Thus, a part of sky reveals the reflection of the window, the front bushes are "running", and the sharpness might wish for much better. Anyway, I still like this scenery; I did not have a chance to get out of the bus, but I could not let this view just slip away. Instead it had slipped now into my photostream. :-)

... with a taste for low-hanging fruit. Breeds from southern US to Nicaragua. To cognoscenti, this may appear to be a red-bellied woodpecker (M. carolinus), but the distribution of the red-bellied does not remotely touch Yucatan, and local golden-fronteds do in fact have a red belly.

Вот такой вот красавчик в павильоне "Космос" нам повстречался! Луноход — планетоход, предназначенный для передвижений по поверхности Луны. В более узком смысле луноход есть транспортное средство (транспортная платформа), предназначенное для передвижений по поверхности Луны. Луноход может управляться как водителем на борту, так и дистанционно (например, с Земли), или быть лунным самоходным роботом. Ярким примером является «Луноход» («проект Е-8») — серия советских дистанционно управляемых самоходных аппаратов-планетоходов для исследования Луны.Натурный образец "Луноход-1" - первый дистационно-управляемый планетоход. Был запущен 10 ноября 1970 года, посадка на Луну - 17 ноября 1970 года, управление аппаратом происходило по командам с Земли................................

 

Here is such a handsome man in the pavilion "Cosmos" we met! Lunokhod is a planetary rover designed to travel on the surface of the Moon. In a narrower sense, a lunar rover is a vehicle (transport platform) designed for movement on the surface of the Moon. The lunar rover can be controlled both by a driver on board and remotely (for example, from Earth), or it can be a lunar self-propelled robot. A striking example is the Lunokhod (Project E-8), a series of Soviet remotely operated self—propelled planetary rovers for exploring the Moon.The full-scale sample "Lunokhod-1" is the first remote-controlled planetoid. It was launched on November 10, 1970, landing on the Moon - on November 17, 1970, the device was controlled by commands from Earth.....

We interrupt our tour of Europe to bring you breaking news.

 

Eastern Gray Squirrel clinging to the bird feeder outside my kitchen window, maybe 2ft away, not more. Camera on a tripod and controlled remotely from the Leica App on my iPad. Mostly he is upside down with his face in the feeder, but he came up ready to fight or flee when I made an inadvertent noise.

Must be a tough guy with that sliced ear.

Missing a couple of weeks from “52 Weeks with Your Camera”, which I’ll post eventually. Meanwhile these two from week 47!

A storm approaches at sunset. I often enjoy watching the sunset, and enjoy watching storms, and for one unique time I got to see both at once from my apartment balcony here in New Jersey. A strong but 'thin' squall line was approaching from the northwest, while the setting sun illuminated the rain falling from this storm from behind. I've never seen anything even remotely like this amazing, glowing, atmospheric display. Image quality is somewhat limited due to this being taken on my old iPhone, but this was such an incredible scene that it is worth sharing.

Gothic duck

 

Nah, not really. I saw this beauty at the river and, spellbound by its unique looks, crouched down to take photos. Meanwhile, I heard two women behind me talking about this duck. They were wondering if the plumage was real or if someone or something had colored the feathers black. Not knowing myself what this duck was and what species, I kept my mouth shut. At night, I looked on the Internet for info and found out that the plumage was indeed iridescent black and not caused by some kind of ink. Most likely, this gorgeous bird is called a Cayuga Duck. I haven't found any other species even remotely similar to this duck. Why am I still not 100% positive that it is indeed a Cayuga Duck? Well, the Cayuga is classified as a small to medium size duck, but this one was rather large, about the size of a goose. Hm...

 

Gothicente

 

Nee, eigentlich nicht. Ich sah diese Schönheit am Fluß und, verzaubert von ihrem einzigartigen Aussehen, ging ich in die Hocke und machte Fotos. Währenddessen hörte ich hinter mir zwei Frauen über die Ente reden. Sie fragten sich, ob das Gefieder echt sei, oder ob irgendjemand oder irgendetwas die Federn schwarz gefärbt hatten. Da ich selbst nicht wußte, was diese Ente war oder welche Spezies, hielt ich meinen Mund. Am Abend suchte ich nach Info im Internet und fand heraus, dass das Gefieder tatsächlich schillernd schwarz ist und nicht durch eine Art Tinte verursacht wurde. Mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit handelt es sich bei diesem wunderschönen Vogel um eine Smaragdente. Ich habe sonst keine andere Spezies gefunden, die auch nur annähernd dieser Ente ähnelt. Warum bin ich dann immer noch nicht 100% sicher, dass es tatsächlich eine Smaragdente ist? Nun, weil die Smaragedente als klein- bis mediumgroß klassifiziert ist, aber diese hier ziemlich groß war, mehr die Größe einer Gans. Hm...

 

In my previous post from Bailey’s Beach, I quoted the national parks description "bright orange lichen encrusts the granite boulders, contrasting spectacularly with the whiter-than-white sand and turquoise water".

 

A few sharp-eyed folks kindly pointed out that, thanks to the late-day light, my “whiter-than-white” sand had taken on a rather majenta mood. Fair enough, let's just say it was white-adjacent.

 

So to come good on my sand-colour claims, here’s a more balanced earlier view from Bailey’s Beach, looking across to beautiful Binalong Bay where the sand is finally white, the water is still turquoise, and the lichen is as outrageously orange as ever. Google Bay of Fires and you will see so many fantastic images, day & night of this stunning area. Not as good as mine though of course ;)

 

I must admit, I’ve always been fond of going outdoors. It's much easier than going out windows.

 

Some friends laughed when I told that one to them. If it doesn’t make you smile here on Flickr, I’ll know I’m not remotely funny. 😉

 

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to comment on my photos, they are greatly appreciated!

  

Waterscape 50/100 in 2025

 

Die Ceona Amazon ist ein kombinierter Rohr-Kabelleger für die britische Firma Ceona Services und wurde von der Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven Ende 2014 abgeliefert. Die spezielle Decksausrüstungen zum Rohrlegen wurde beim niederländischen Unternehmen Huisman installiert.

The nose may be slightly dirty and I better don't even mention the paws... It's a muddy world out there !

As you can see I visited the squirrels again on this lovely but cold morning. As always I had a lot of fun, apart from the fact that I needed the rest of the day to feel even remotely warm again.

This is a combination of a crystal glass bowl full of colourful glass beads illuminated from below. A glass containing water and cooking oil was placed on top of the glass beads with the camera lens positioned inside the glass to take a 1:1 macro shot.

Happy Crazy Tuesday!

My original plan was to ask my son to pose...but one look at his horrified face told me that wasn't going to happen!

So I decided it was a good opportunity to remind myself how to use the wi-fi capability on my camera and use my phone to set up the shot...then realised I couldn't focus or press the shutter remotely while holding the pumpkin!

At which point my son got interested in the tech and agreed to do it, but aiming for symmetry and precision while your 10 year old is leaping around the garden, waving the phone out of sight and shrieking "Are you done yet?!" didn't make for the easiest of set ups...

Still, we managed something and I might even take my not-so-trusty assistant to his Hallowe'en party later!

This is a stylized image of Ruby Beach, Oregon where I went with a great group of friends from Colorado. They have taught me so much and Cindy, who I now refer to respectfully as Professor, is continuing to teach us remotely on Zoom. Thanks guys.

It's Autumn and not only Cleo seems to prepare for hibernation. Whenever it only remotely looks like a rainy day, Tofu is uanable to keep his eyes open either. This makes taking photos of him difficult although he is very cute when he is sleeping. :)

Eine Langzeitbelichtung im Mondlicht.

 

Der rot-weiß gestreifte Leuchtturm List Ost steht auf der Ellenbogen genannten Sylter Halbinsel und ist nach dem Leuchtturm List West das zweitnördlichste Leuchtfeuer Deutschlands. Es wurde im Jahr 1857 erbaut und am 1. Januar 1858 in Betrieb genommen. Seit 1977 ist das Feuer des Turms ferngesteuert. Aufgrund seiner Nähe zu einer Steilkante galt der Leuchtturm List Ost noch um 2003 als absturzgefährdet, seit etwa 2007 ist die Küstenerosion der Steilkante jedoch zum Stillstand gekommen. (Quelle: wikipedia)

 

A long exposure in the moonlight.

 

The red and white striped lighthouse List Ost stands on the elbow called Sylter peninsula and is after the lighthouse List West the second northernmost beacon in Germany. It was built in 1857 and commissioned on January 1, 1858. Since 1977, the fire of the tower is remotely controlled. Due to its proximity to a steep edge, the Listth lighthouse was still considered a fall hazard around 2003, but since about 2007 the coastal erosion of the steep edge has come to a standstill.

Heavens Peak peeks out from the clouds and is blessed with splash of light. Glacier National Park is an absolutely stunning place and have wanted to go here since I was kid. I recently got that opportunity for the first time with my photography partner and friend Mike Ryan. I'm so grateful to have spent a week in place as beautiful as Glacier is. I hope that the images I captured during this time, remotely represent the phenomenal beauty that exists here.

The meadow bellfowers are among my favourite wildlflowers and apparently the hoverflies like them too. This hoverfly kept returning to the bellflowers and so I had several chances to try to take a remotely sharp photo. :)
