Early on Sunday morning, the cold was biting, well below zero. Bradgate Park was already busy with visitors, and in places the ground had turned white, dressed in a true winter coat. Trusting the BBC weather forecast that promised a bright, sunny day, I set off towards the park.
Almost immediately, I encountered a young male Fallow Deer (buck – Dama dama). As soon as he noticed the crowd, he stopped and, almost knowingly, posed for a few seconds. What caught my attention straight away were his antlers. The left antler showed the typical broad, palmate shape of a Fallow Deer, while the right one looked strikingly different—more like the pointed tips of a young male Red Deer.
Most likely, this unusual shape resulted from a deformation or break during the growth phase of the antler. I found it fascinating; perhaps the experienced park rangers would have more insight into the history behind this individual’s antlers.
With winter clearly arriving, migrant birds have started to appear. After recent sightings of Stonechat, Goldcrests have now begun to show themselves. I am sharing two Goldcrest photographs from this walk. Unfortunately, I experienced a technical issue with my Z8, so I am confident that on my next visit I will be able to present sharper and more varied poses of this tiny bird.
As always, my photo walks would not be complete without the Robin (European Robin / Redbreast), which once again stepped onto the path in front of me, as if keeping me company.
I am sharing a total of seven photographs and hope you enjoy them.
Wishing you all a beautiful week ahead.
Goldcrest in the UK – Short English Note
Goldcrest (Regulus regulus) is both a resident and a winter visitor in the UK. While many individuals breed locally, significant numbers arrive from northern and eastern Europe during autumn and winter, boosting the UK population. These winter migrants are often seen in woodland edges, conifers, and parks, especially after cold spells on the continent.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.

Charnwood Water - Loughborough – A Small sanctuary of light and Life / Charnwood Water, located on Tuckers Road in Loughborough, Leicestershire, is a 27-acre man-made lake and public park. Once a clay quarry, it has transformed into a place full of natural beauty.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of spending countless hours here with my Nikon Z8, often paired with my long-time companion, the Nikon AF-S ED 80–200mm f/2.8D lens, capturing moments that nature so generously offers.
Wildlife in the park has grown accustomed to visitors. Robins, squirrels, and sometimes even Mandarin Ducks come surprisingly close, offering intimate photographic opportunities.
Yesterday, after months of absence, I returned hoping to see the resident Mandarin Duck pairs again. To my delight, I encountered two pairs. Although I witnessed territorial disputes between the males, seeing these vibrant and elegant birds once more within Charnwood Water was truly uplifting.
For now, I’m sharing a selection of 10 images from different moments and perspectives. As the sun appeared, it was impossible to resist capturing the pure white feathers of a swan during its grooming ritual. A robin appeared in three different poses, as if posing deliberately, while a common wood pigeon and a common blackbird were equally generous in front of the lens. The grey squirrel, however, kept its distance this time.
Wishing you a pleasant evening.

This pristine scene at Mirror Lake in Yosemite Valley dates from the 1860s. Photographer Carleton Watkins' images are credited with encouraging members of Congress to pass legislation that required California to protect the area from development. Subsequent efforts by landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted and naturalist John Muir resulted in Yosemite becoming a national park in 1890.
Watkins created more than 100 views of Yosemite, which you can visit online at the Library of Congress.

Stopped by this lake shore park (Winding Trails) in Farmington Connecticut. I could not enter the park since it required a membership. By looking through the fence, a beautiful lakeshore was seen.
It’s all by design! The Great Reset requires a currency crisis, so that we can Build Back Better. We must crash the economy and implement a fiat Central Bank Digital Currency, a Digital ID, and a Social Credit Score System—“Fascism on the Block Chain!” We will weaponize the whole currency system. We will reset the economy to a surveillance economy. It’s the surveillance era! Surveillance Capitalism/Data Capitalism: leading us down the road to Digital Feudalism. Techno-Feudalism…yay! This new Digital Economy will have programmable currency, which will be tied to vast databases that will surveil your behavior. Elvis has entered the building: “We’re caught in a trap! I can't walk out!” Step right up: get your Universal Basic Income Central Bank Digital Currency allowance. Then you can become a Global Citizen of the New World Order Digital Welfare state…woohoo! Please give me Digital Welfare!
We will be able to control every aspect of your lives. With programmable Central Bank Digital Currency we will eventually bar you from buying precious metals. Kiss your gold good-bye! You won’t be able to save your money, because it will have an expiry date. We will program your digital money, so that you can’t spend it outside your 15-minute city/neighbourhood/prison. Like the World Economic Forum mantra says: you will own nothing and be happy! You will literally rent everything you use. If you’re a good little doggy you’ll be rewarded, but if you’re a bad little doggy you’ll be punished. We will regulate who you can see, what you can eat, and where you can go. Digital slavery, here we come!
Trillions of dollars in debt: inflation, stagflation, and hyperinflation. “From dirty cash, to digital trash.” The banks will legally take money out of your bank account when everything collapses. Remember what happened in the Financial Crisis of Cyprus? The banks seized people’s money. Bye-bye savings. Bye-bye middle class. Bank run! Say what? The system’s locked up. Transactions have stopped. I can’t get my money out of the bank! I can’t use my debit card! I can’t use my credit card! My money is gone! Read ‘em and weep, boys; the writing is on the wall.
In a few years down the road we will microchip the sheeple. A new transhuman slave race…woohoo! This slave race will bow to the Image of the Beast—the ultimate ChatGPT. His image will be set up on a wing of the temple. If you can’t get to the temple to worship, his image will show up as a hologram in your transhuman mind. The Beast hologram will say: worship me or die! The AI Beast Computer will hit your kill switch if you don’t bow down to worship him. Watch out, he will know if you’re sincerely worshiping him or not. Isn’t it going to be fun when we’re living in the Book of Revelation? 666: you can’t buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast! Isn’t it interesting to watch as the Beast system is being put in place?
This barn is off county road D north of Spirit Falls. There was a lot of flooding and the road was pretty washed out, but I found an angle and a bonus reflection. Christmas tree farming is popular up this way and I wonder how new it is for the barn and what kinds of crops were grown here in the past.
Dear Partner, I hope you don't mind if your little snowman arrives "Some Assembly Required". I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, I hope you are too.
Ironmaking blast furnaces require large amounts of air to be blown into the bottom of the furnace to intensify the combustion, the same way a blacksmiths forge needs air blown into it to make it hotter. That air blast, probably 40,000 CFM at around 25 psi, was provided originally by blowing engines. These were injected with natural gas and the large flywheels supplied kinetic energy. These were also used to generate electricity. These engines were in constant operation for almost 100 years except for when they were shut down for routine maintenance. If anyone has more information on these engines, I would be happy to hear from you. For a sense of the size of these engines, check out the stairs along the right side.
Today, I am told, steel mills use turbo blowers that are much smaller and operate much like jet engines. These are piston engines that operate like the compressor in your garage, on a much larger scale of course.

Spectron is going bigger! This long-range capable ship can carry out missions that would require a fleet of smaller vessels all on it's own. Chameleon's near infinite versatility comes from the modular interfaces of the cockpits and thrusters. When not occupied the forementioned can be used as cargo space with the canopy sealing the space. Innovating the most advanced scanning and maneuvering systems of their time, Spectron ships are rarely startled by other vessels. Spectron, being the ever-mysterious faction it always has been, don't like sharing their secrets like the exact number of vessels or their locations. To aid in this endeavour, the Chameleon possesses the remarkable ability to be rearranged and completely change it's radar signature, making it look like a different ship on most if not all tracking systems. Due to this tendency of shapeshifting, it is assumed even the astronauts piloting the vessels no longer remember what is the original intended layout.
This shot required a lot of patience because of the number of visitors - well, at least because of 2 of them. Some photographer set up against the lighthouse and shot his model who was posing on the picnic table. For about 45 minutes both his tripod and the model did not move. Ultimately this required 5 stacked exposures (one for FG DOF and 4 to "paint out" various people).

As this is not my usual subject matter in photography, some more practice is required, but hope you enjoy these images anyway.
A gorgeous sunrise doesn’t necessarily requires one to travel far or seek mountains and beaches. But, it definitely requires a puddle of water may work. Maybe some trees. LOL But, all kidding aside, that’s exactly what I found in a park lot of a super store. Maybe all he/she needs is an eye for it.
It was pushing 30 degrees, the bridge was melting underfoot and not a cloud in the sky, but class 73's 74141 and 73109 were all ready to go with the snow and ice treatment train, if needed. Tonbridge West yard, 16 June 2021.
G514 and GL111 lead SSR grain train 9347 to Narrandera at Calwalla on the Unanderra-Moss Vale Line.
After a period where this train didn't run, it has started up again momentarily. This train started earlier in 2017 due to the bumper harvest and GrainCorp requiring more grain to be moved by Rail. It will cease running again soon and then revert to operating Sub-Terminal feeders across NSW until the next Grain Harvest in late November.
