Same image as the previous upload but run through Nik Software's Color Efex Pro - Infrared digital filter program. I wanted to see how the different IR filters in this program would work with a RAW image of something quite pink with a bit of green in the background.
Sticking with the same collection as yesterday, the catalogue lists this image as "Steam Boat on Lough Erne, Belturbet, Co. Cavan" - implying that it was taken in County Cavan. However, we have a similar Lawrence/French image in the catalogue labelled "S.S. Belturbet, Lough Erne, Co. Fermanagh" - implying that the boat is called "Belturbet", and the location is Fermanagh. While almost completely distracted by the ~100% hat-coverage, we wondered which was correct - Cavan or Fermanagh.
While there were fantastic insights from the community on location, date, subject and context, the text which sharon.corbet highlights largely confirms that the catalogue entry was likely incorrect - and that "Belturbet" is the boat rather than location. The same text also suggests that the earlier date in the range is probably in the 1880s:
"When it became clear that [a proposed steamboat passenger service] could not compete with the railway, [John Grey Vesey] Porter switched to tourism. In 1873, he opened a hotel and pier at Knockninny, a renowned beauty spot on the upper lake just north of Derrylin (fig 2.15). He redeployed the Knockninny and, from 1880, the Belturbet to ferry passengers from Enniskillen and for excursions on the Upper Lough. These services ceased with his death in 1903 and both vessels were scrapped during the first world war."
The detail sourced by [https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnspooner] supports a strong theory that our photo was taken at Crom Castle, County Fermanagh (Wikipedia) - but we may hold-off on ringing the "location confirmed" klaxon just yet....

This was my second time photographing this waterfall, but my first DHR shot of it. I've only attempted a handful of HDR shots and I haven't been to flattered with the results. I liked this one, though.The water flow was much lighter this time, a lot of the vegetation was gone for the winter, and it wasn't as muddy which meant I could get in for a closer look.

After a good splash in the Atlantic Ocean, the two Aggie Rings retired to the boardwalk to soak up some sun and dry out.
In honor of San Jacinto Day / Aggie Muster (they’re both on the same day this year! :-) ) , I drove my two Aggie Rings the 5 miles to the Asbury Park Boardwalk here on the Jersey Shore. A&M College of Texas Ring ’42 and Texas A&M University Aggie Ring ’84 frolicked in the sand, spent some time chilling on the boardwalk, and had an incredible Texas Aggie time together.
The soybeans were planted 3 weeks ago, and they are just starting to come up. It was beautiful this morning when I took this, but this afternoon turned hot and humid. It’s only June, so I think we may be in for a hot summer. I have to confess that I am kind of enjoying it. After a long, colder than normal winter, it feels good. I didn't even turn on the air conditioning today.
Inspired by one of the 52 Weeks in 2015 challenges, I have decided to take pictures of this same spot throughout the year. The 52 Weeks challenge is to take a picture of the same spot 4 different times throughout the year, during designated weeks. I decided to turn it into my own personal project and take a picture of this same scene at least once a month for 2015. The idea is to show the changes in different seasons and types of weather. Since it is a farm field, it will also be showing the progression of the planting, growth and harvesting of the crops. It will be soybeans this year. Progression can be seen in my album “Same Spot 2015.”
