only place you'll catch me outside is in second life ♥

Waiting for the sun - sadly the sheep kept moving so had to grab this whilst I could

Out for a morning Walk.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.

    

On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.

  

These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, and having moved from professional Nikon equipment to consumer bodies and lenses, I travel light less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 22.893+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

**** This frame was chosen on August 7th 2018 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #80. This is my 103rd photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.

 

Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to every one of the 17.950 Million people who have visited, favourite and commented on this and all of my other photographs here on my FLICKR site. *****

'The beast from the East', a Siberian cold front and weather phenomenon, has swept across the United Kingdom duringh the past few days, and last night was Kent's turn to brace herself for the deluge of snow.

Heading back into New Waterford, I was very surprised to see a second train at the old mine, just getting set to leave! It seems that this second crew had run light to the plant to pull out the empty cars, and prepare to head back once the loaded train had passed them. On this day they were a bit delayed, so the light engines returning from the plant can be seen in the background waiting for them to leave.

Your home - my home.

My home - my home.

The Washington Coast has to be one of my all time favorites. It takes a thirty minute hike through the forest before you reach the shore to these amazing sea stacks. The sunset was blocked out by the clouds, but we had plenty of fun shooting moody seascapes. Hope you enjoy!

Not much snow for the middle of Winter

CN L517 crosses the Arcola high bridge in a rare daylight appearance. After missing the run in October, I thought that would be it for daylight runs this year. Thankfully, I was proven wrong. I got word of this train early in the morning, and got to Arcola as soon as possible. I was the only one down there for a long while, but knew the train was getting closer when more railfans started showing up. After waiting a couple hours, the horn was blown and the train headed over the half mile long bridge. It was great to finally shoot a train going over this structure.

Second camera (both of which happen to be second hand!)

The Dark Style Fair returns this year with a spooky circus themed round, and of course i couldn't pass on providing your typical fortune telling tent for it!

 

This is now available at my main location, and a brand new texture was included with the new addition of PBR!

Lockdown Day 9:

12000 Steps today, with an extended walk to Sudbrook. We were heading all the way to Black Rock but thought better of it and turned around at the pumping station.

Only really got close to a Dunnock, but took the opportunity for a quick snap of the Second Severn Crossing from Divers Rock, on my phone

Thanks for all your comments and faves, much appreciated as

The best food bank in town. Delivering food to the local charity in my hood who distributes to the needy.

After just missing out with the sun and the Saint here on Friday, after waking up this morning and seeing the weather was nicer than expected. Another late trip to Arley to get 2857 leaving with the Great Western Set in tow.

The Mariinsky Theater Second Stage is the second part of a theatre complex which is made up of the original 1860 Mariinsky Theatre and the 2007 Mariinsky Theatre Concert Hall. The Second Stage has been completed and a gala concert celebrating the opening, and featuring such luminaries as Plácido Domingo, Rene Pape, Anna Netrebko, and many others, was presented on 2 May 2013. The concert also celebrated the sixtieth birthday of musical director Valery Gergiev.
