I have never seen a sunset like this. All the people there, looking to the sky. A real color-explosion

Unbelievably there were /are 9 engineers trains heading East through Teignmouth and Dawlish today. It was in connection with a major engineering project in the Plymouth area. In addition to the bonus services there was a total block situation along the sea wall, this meant that the trains crawled along this stretch of line at 5 mph, the trains could be in line of sight of each other with no signalling knowing they could come to a stop, even in the tunnels. At one point we had two trains on the same track on the sea wall at Dawlish within sight of each other.

66074 eeks its way along the wall with old track forming the 1031 from Hemerdon to Westbury, 70801 had not long disappeared around the corner at Langstone Cliff.

Plenty of walkers along the sea wall burning off the roast spuds. I think everyone of them asked myself and a few other fellow phottwers what was occurring.

This is the same bear as the one in the previous post.

Notice that she hadn't started to shed as yet.

This was from earlier in the spring.

She was a beautiful bear.

I was shooting mostly Velvia back then. It was rated at ASA 50.

Sometimes, I would use Fugi ASA 100, if I needed it.

it's time for a "summer selfie"

Like Most Men my age, I grew Up in an Era where Comic Books where the daily digest in my town. In those days a graphic novel was a mere 25cents and you could buy 12 books for $3.00 I think thats about the average price of one magazine these days. LOL Anyway.....I Thrived on reading Marvel & DC Comics by the time I was 13 I had well over 2,500 or more. and I kept mine in the protective plastic bags and boxed according to hero or the group that they were in*

I even learned how to draw from reading these things and wanting to emulate what I saw everyday. Boy Stan Lee really had a major Impact on my childhood! Dark Knight/Detective Comics & The X-Men were always my favorite comics. And like most "Wolverine & Batman" were my fav. characters. It wasnt until much, much later on in life that these Superheroes were made into major motion picture Idols.

With the rise of technology and special effects Hollywood has been able to produce what I read for so many years on the silver screen. I think if I had to choose being one of these Superheroes in "real life" it would Most Def. have to be

"THE DARK KNIGHT"..........:))

The Batcave is just THE KOOLEST Hideout EVER!!!!

Quite random to spot two of the same car.

🎼 Avril Lavigne - Bad Girl (feat. Marilyn Manson)" 🎼

"Choke me because I said so

Stroke me and feed my ego

I've been a bad girl, don't you know?

(Don't tell me what to do)

Come get it now or never

I'll let you do whatever

I'll be your bad girl, here we go

(One, two, three, four)

Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me

Baby

You know I want a little taste, taste

So let me take you all the way, way

You know you'll never be the same, same

One night

You won't forget the rest of your life

So come on over to the wild side

Buckle up and, baby, hold on tight

Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me

We both know that you love me 'cause I'm so bad

(You f*ckin' bad girl)"

same image different focus !

The same day I saw the Painted Bunting (see adjacent photo) I went to Morro Rock and got lucky. As I was walking around, I saw the shallow rapid wingbeats of an approaching Peregrine Falcon. It had a pigeon lunch which it took to ledge on the rock face and proceeded to devour.

HOW SAINTLY YOU MAY BE, APPRECIATIONS AND APPLAUSE ARE SOME TIME ACT AS ADRENALINE.

Same very tiny bee loading up on pollen in the yellow lilies. Have several more of it but just saving this one, as well. Handheld.

Will be off Flickr for a few days. Hoping weather behaves, some storms forecast at times, have had a week with no storms.

Same as the previous image but converted to b/w, which I prefer!

same photo (bird) used in www.flickr.com/photos/840308670/3745846865/

That same blue guy on my previous photo, but in another angle. And I have to say thanks to those yellow trees reflection on the water surface. I just hope to be back on the track of photography again. I rarely shoot anything for a year because of busy duty and daily life.

Upon the top of that same craggy ridge

The caption used is from a poem by William Wordsworth, from The Prelude.

While at a roadside pullout along the main park road on the Tennessee side of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The view is looking to the north-northwest to ridges and peaks of the Eastern Great Smoky Mountains with Anakeesta Ridge. Given the low clouds that were along the mountain peaks, I chose to minimize those overcast skies and focus the image on the spurs and ridges coming off the main peaks. I liked the layers that they brought out with the tree lines and the way the spurs and ridges seemingly came after the other. The rest was metering the image to so that I could capture some of the details present in the overcast skies while still being able to pull the more shadowed areas along the mountainside later in post production.

He has been on my wish list for a long time, the Green Woodpecker. And now, this year, (not all at the same time) both man (photo 1), woman (photo 2) and Friday can also photograph the juvenile (photo 3). What else do you want?

Same composition as a previous upload but in the fog. When I saw these conditions I had to head here and get the composition in the fog. Not sure which I prefer. Gutted I didn't have more than the 2 minutes I had here as the woodland looked stunning

At the end of the same dive with the flame lobster (previous post), we stopped in the shallows to search for grass squid.

Expectations were low. These squid are tiny - think the size of your pinky fingernail. They are floating in a soup of sargassum bits and pieces, so they are well camouflaged. And to top it all off, we are in shallow water (2-3m) with waves rolling through to slosh this slurry of stuff back and forth. Placing them in the viewfinder is hard but even if you can do that, you still need to get the camera's autofocus to lock on to the right thing. I have plenty of blurry pics and a bunch of sharp pics of seaweed fragments. But all you need is one to work!

Note, this was shot with ambient light (because we were so shallow). Without strobes, the shutter speed could be raised above 1/250th, which was definitely helpful.

exact same vista as in the previous photo, taken minutes apart, but with a very different camera/lens/film = a totally different mood

Same one as in previous photo. I moved trying to get another angle with better light but no help, couldn't see as much of its head. So rude of it. :)

First red shouldered hawk I have seen in quite sometime. Wish I could have gotten closer. Very dull, flat light and backlit, cropped a little, plus ongoing focus issues so not the best detail, but still very happy to see it and get a photo. :)

This red disk-shaped phenomenon, is another member of the TLEs (Transient Luminous Events, happening in the middle and upper atmosphere, above thunderstorms) family and is called sprite halo. Under it, there is a group of, relatively small, sprites. Sprite halo is short-lived (some ms) and its color comes from the same physical process as in red sprites (de-excitation of 1st positive group of mol. nitrogen). Halos appear close to sprite tops (alt. ~80-85 km), over active thunderstorms, like sprites. Sprite halos are usually triggered by -CGs, in contrast to sprites which are related to +CGs (99%). There is also a faint stripe of high clouds in front of the halo. The yellow light is a distant ship.

The event happened over the thunderstorms south of Crete (on the east side of the Medicane on 28/10) as seen from S. Attica during the night of Oct. 28, 2021. Faint parent lightning flash at the bottom, behind a cloud layer, can be seen as well. I've used a Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/4'' with 51.2k iso.

While hiking the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail in Kauai, Hawaii.

Same picture as my previoes post, but now in Black and White. I like this better, what do you think?

Same spot as the night shot I posted the other day. This was taken are 7:30pm, as the sun was setting over NYC and the New World Trade Center. Because I didn't have a foreground subject, I took artistic liberties with the Hudson river.

Same script as my last upload: Foreground rocks, still reflective lake and a backdrop of snowcapped peaks (are they fells, hills or mountains? I'm never sure...). This time the location is Derwentwater on a November morning that started a wee bit misty and ended crystal clear.

A selection of my images are now available to purchase at James Bell's site here and at Getty

Same view - different day.

Today we just received a small dose of what is supposed to be in store for us starting tomorrow. Our Santa Claus Parade starts this evening around 6 from Ompah to the Township Office in Plevna along Road 509 and as the parade is all by vehicle it would be a shame to see it cancelled due to weather. I really can't complain though (other than having to shovel the darn stairs to the sidewalk) because, after all, this is Canada and snow is a part of life and I no longer have to make the 2 1/2 hour drive to work since we retired in 2021.
