I don't think this kind of image is possible without the use of infrared. It is pregnant with energy. The box belongs to the Bureau of Meteorology which has an official weather station at Low Head.
Weather Report was also the name of a very fine Jazz group, including saxophonist Wayne Shorter. Jazz is actually a nice way of describing infrared photography. Every shot is an improvisation and makes us see things anew.
Malin Head (Irish: Cionn Mhálanna) is located on the Inishowen Peninsula, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland and is the most northerly point of the island of Ireland. The northernmost tip is the headland named Banba's Crown located at latitude 55.38ºN. Malin Head gives its name to the Malin sea area. There is a weather station on the head, which is one of 22 such stations whose reports are broadcast as part of the BBC Shipping Forecast.
Ptolemy's Geography (2nd century AD) described a point called Βορειον (Boreion, "the northern") which probably referred to Malin Head.
Banba's Crown on Malin Head is the most northerly point of the Irish mainland. Banba was one of the mythical queens of Ireland. Banba's Crown is about 16 km (10 mi) north of the village of Malin. The island of Inishtrahull is further north, located approximately 10 km (6 mi) north east of Malin Head. Further north still is the most northerly landfall of Ireland, Tor Beg rock.
Tower at Banbas Crown that was used during war times.
Malin Head is home to small businesses such as pubs, restaurants, shops and a large call centre called Forward Emphasis International, which employs many of the local residents.
Macro Monday: #PatternsInNature
Width of the frame: 1,5 cm / 0,59 inches
Last Minute capture for "Patterns in Nature". It's an extreme close-up of an agate palm or worry stone which to me looks like a storm on Jupiter.
Taken with two Kenko extension tubes (16 and 10 mm) and the Raynox DCR-250 "super macro conversion lens" all mounted to my macro lens, and with in-camera focus stacking. Developed and processed in ON1 Photo Raw. It's amazing that some backlight, and then haze reduction and increase of saturation and dynamic range brought out these colours on what looks like a fairly palish (mostly brown and white tones) mineral to the unaided eye (no extra colours added!).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

Last-Minute-Foto für das Thema "Patterns in Nature". Extrem-Makro (so etwas in der Art) eines Achat-Handschmeichlers, aufgenommen mit zwei Kenko-Zwischenringen (10 und 16 mm) in Kombination mit dem Raynox-DCR-250-Macro-Converter. Von hinten angestrahlt und mit der Kamera-internen Fokus-Stacking-Funktion aufgenommen. Entwickelt in ON1 Photo RAW. Die Hintergrundbeleuchtung sowie "Haze Reduction" (Dunst entfernen) und die leichte Erhöhung der Sättigung und des Dynamik-Umfangs brachten mal wieder erstaunliche Farben zutage, die mit dem bloßen Auge so nicht zu sehen sind, da wirkt der interessant gemusterte Stein eher blass mit seiner bräunlichen Grundfarbe sowie der weißlichen Bänderung. Die Gelb- und Orange-Töne dürften auch überwiegend dem Hintergrundlicht zu verdanken sein. Künstliche Farben habe ich der Aufnahme aber nicht hinzugefügt.
Ich wünsche Euche eine schöne Sommerwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

CN 595 is done for the day after spotting two cars at the South end of Huntsville Yard for 450 to lift later that night while it passes some wicked old NAR flat cars fitted to haul concrete ties.
NORDIC HAMBURG (IMO: 9514755) is a Container Ship that was built in 2010 (11 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of Cyprus.
It’s carrying capacity is 1036 TEU and her current draught is reported to be 7.9 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 151.72 meters and her width is 23.43 meters.
This 4200 Report Monitor reel-to-reel tape recorder was manufactured by Uher factories in Munich in the early 1980s. It was primarily developed for professional use and was intended for use with 13 cm reels in half-track mode. The housing is made of robust die-cast aluminum, and in addition to numerous technical features, there were also many accessories, such as matching microphones, for use in interviews by reporters. The sound is excellent and enables perfect recordings in hi-fi quality! My device still works well and looks quite good.

.... this is not a report....but it is only a collection of images taken a few days ago in Sicily and that, in some way, also speaks of Sicily ... (we are living in our island, a very fine "long summer") ...

Report from a photo trip to Lofoten - 37
At the end of Sandbotnen Bay near Fredvang in Lofoten there is a grassy plain behind the beach. In this plain, the "sandy river" Sandelva forms some narrow river bends.

The terrace of a Rorbu cabin afforded a wonderful view west across Offersøystraumen to Leknes. The Space Weather App had predicted favorable conditions for aurora sightings, and just after 8 p.m. a green band stretched across the sky. In the excitement we didn't have time to turn off the cabin light and so the rocks in the foreground - partly submerged - are illuminated by the light from the Rorbu cabin.
The shot didn't require any special editing tricks in post-processing. I basically just used my default raw processing settings in Lightroom with a small increase in brightness and clarity (although the rocks in the foreground required special attention to bring out the details). There was no change of colors.
Striking diving duck of coastal harbors, mountain lakes, and large rivers. Very similar to Common Goldeneye. Males are easiest: Barrow’s has more black on the back, a downward-pointing spur on the side, and a crescent-shaped (not circular) white patch on the face. Females can be very difficult. Barrow’s usually has a yellow bill, but Common can rarely show a dull yellowish bill. Head and bill shape are important: Barrow’s has a steeper forehead and a puffy nape, and a shorter bill with a more rounded lower edge. Fairly common in western U.S. and Canada; much less common in the northeast. Small population in Iceland. Frequently found in mixed flocks with Common Goldeneye.
Nearly every year, we get one Barrow's Goldeneye among the hundreds of Common Goldeneye that make Ottawa their winter home. It's a challenge to be the first area birder to find and report it to the others. I am not usually that birder. Like all sea ducks, they prefer to be well away from the shore, making photography a challenge.

I'm currently working on a new skin and lens
The head is the Nova of the Lelutka Revolution line.
It's my favorite!
It takes some time to make each skin into three different brand's heads, but it's fun.
I can't wait to show you.

Horace was pacing up and down the lounge, I said “what’s up old pal” he responded well tis like this Bri, I phoned Huw Edwards a few days ago at The BBC (Huw and Horace go back a long way, drinking in Tredegar) and asked why there had been no reportage or sightings of ‘The Beast Of Bodmin Moor’ recently.
Check what ever search engine you good people use, allegedly the beast is quite a fearsome cat like animal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_Bodmin_Moor
Huw responded “well Horace, we have had no information on the beast for some time, would you like to go out and report back”.
Horace looked at me with that cute face and asked if we could travel out onto the moor, I said “no problem Horace”, great he responded, I have your brothers Land Rover out in the drive ticking over ready to go.
So we rounded up Hoof, got in brothers Land Rover with Horace at the wheel and off we went. We came to this location on the edge of Bodmin Moor, you could hear Horace’s knees knocking, he was out the vehicle calling “here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty”.
We then could see the sweat coming off Horace’s brow, he spotted this large Y shaped object, he thought it was the giant wishbone of a dinosaur, which Horace felt the beast must have eaten for breakfast.
So Hoof being the only sensible one of the three of us, explained to Horace, this was only a piece of wood which just happened to be pointing at one of the very early China Clay dries, some say it dates back to 1900. Just up over from the chimney is the disused Stannon Clay works which was bought by English China Clays in 1919.
We felt that a trip to the nearby Old Inn, at St Breward, was required in order to calm Horace down. At around 720 feet above sea level, it is the highest pub in Cornwall.
Wasn’t long Horace was back to his old self, following a few pints, plus he and Hoof were playing spoof with the locals at a social distance in the beer garden.
Following H & Hs drinking exploits, guess who ended up driving them home😎
Have a lovely weekend, thank you for looking at my photographs. The comments and banter you leave are so appreciated.

The secret is out, and the Canadian internet groups imploded after the release of five SD70ACU's painted to honor the Canadian and United States Armed Forces. Thanks to the team at CP for making this possible, as well as putting on a great ceremony at the Calgary headquarters on Remembrance Day 2019. The 5 meter barrier around the units was a nice touch, as every fan managed to get lots of sunny shots without having to use a people filter.
It's going to be interesting to shoot these units on the road, with the variations in dark and light paint each one will present challenges to the photographer, but its bette rthen dirty red!
Report from a photo trip to Lofoten -- 22
The eagle tour started at 9 a.m. in glorious weather from Svolvær (Lofoten) and went to the nearby fjords and islands (Trollfjord, specifically: Øyhellsundet), home to a larger population of white-tailed eagles. The eagles, which were still hungry in the morning, were readily persuaded by bait fishes to allow themselves to be observed at close range while catching their prey. Here is a picture of the approach to the prey.
I used the Nikon Z 9 with the 300mm f/4 and a teleconverter 1.4x. This combination is quite lightweight, which is an advantage when standing in the speedboat trying to keep the eagles in the viewfinder. It was a challenge for the autofocus because the light was still rather weak early in the morning (just before sunrise). Denoising was done with DXO-PhotoLab 6.

Sensational discovery.
The theory of parallel universes which has long been discussed among physicists around the globe has finally been proven. While a detailed report is yet to be published, rumor has it that a gate to parallel universes has been discovered at the most unlikely of places: the bottom of a sherry glass (see the note in the accompanying image).
Whether the discovery has been made before or after the consumption of the sherry and how much of the substance was possibly needed for the experiments to succeed remains yet to be investigated. Stay tuned for further news.
;-)
Enjoy!
Best viewed on black, so please press 'L'.
...is good! He is doing well and seems to be slowly returning to his normal self after the loss of his buddy Teddy--and the holidays, which are never his favorite time. Thanks for your concern and comments about him.
I haven’t posted for so long...I kind of lost my photo ‘mojo’...nothing new to take, no archived shots appealing to me (and wanting to fill my photostream with all of my unposted pics of Teddy, but they’re surprisingly rough for me to see, still...) Little Ollie was happy to oblige and pull me out of my posting drought, and sends along his Happy Furry Friday wishes :-)
What a cute little character he is...playful and cuddly, and my near-constant companion (mostly when awake, that is ;-) Lately he’s been letting me pick him up (and even walk him around a bit) and give him hugs. He’s back to playing a game he learned from Teddy, which is carrying a toy in his mouth while making meow sounds. (Lol, Teddy most definitely had a unique sound so we knew he was playing, but Ollie always sounds like he’s meowing for help ;-) I find a lineup of toys in my home office, and his favorite ‘plum’ toy can be found deposited in different spots all over the house; every now and then it even comes bouncing down the stairs seemingly on its own.
Today is a good day for cat napping—he spent the morning on his windowsill perch, the afternoon curled up next to ‘his’ heat vent, and will likely be found on my lap as the temperatures dip to the single digits outside by nightfall. Right now it’s windy and snowing.
I’ll be around soon to check out the latest of your posts...
