Strangely, seemingly 'simple' shots take just as long to set up and compose as much more complex scenes — a lot of time is spent getting the camera angle just right before objects can even be placed, not to mention the faff involved with making macarons!
Long seemingly endless converging ridges with young and small fresh green potato plants of newly sown potatoes. It is spring now.

This seemingly random collection of evening sky photographs is actually the result of a very definite aesthetic choice on my part. The effect of these collages should always be greater than the sum of its parts.
These photographs were taken over several evenings in Melbourne. They were framed in camera using the Leica D-Lux 7 square format.
The seemingly never ending golden sands of St. Ives. St. Ives is famous for attracting artists over the centuries, drawn to its magical light.
It's easy to predict that Cedar Waxwings will chow down on Yaupon berries at every opportunity! There were around 50 in this bush!
Seemingly, a bulked-up juvenile male Ruby-throated Hummingbird checking the sun's angle to determine when its migration to South America should begin. Once he gets a north wind, he'll be gone until mid-April.
Fairly Uncommon.
A beautiful whitetail buck seemingly feeling his oats. I watched this big chocolate-antlered 8-point as he squinted his eyes and craned his neck, pointing his nose toward the sky. It didn't appear that he was lip curling, and almost looked like he was just having a good stretch. Maybe he was sniffing the air to try and figure out our scent (or some other scent). Whatever the case, it provided for some interesting poses.
Despite their seemingly bare appearance, hedgerows in winter are crucial wildlife corridors and provide refuge for birds and hibernating mammals in winter, Kent's hedgerows and fields remain vital habitats, offering shelter and food for wildlife and providing a landscape of subtle, natural beauty.
A half-drunken walk through the vacant streets of Greybull, Wyoming on a cool December night led us to the north end of the BNSF yard. The sodium-vapor lamps cast a warm glow on this pair of EMDs kicking cars under remote operation, getting everything in order for the following day’s locals. Not expecting anyone to be in the cab, we were a bit shocked when a conductor walked down the steps, startled at our presence. My friend proceeded to offer him a cigarette, to which he happily obliged. He was a good sport. Most folks in Greybull were. Despite railfanning seemingly being an alien concept to them, their initial suspicion turned to genuine friendly curiosity, particularly the Bighorn County Sheriff’s deputies who we encountered four times in the span of two days. Leave it to the railfanning hobby to take you to the places that nobody else ever thinks to visit. Acquaintances will get back from a vacation and regale me with tales of visiting New York City, Disney World, and the like. I always get strange looks when I tell them that I spent my vacation in a place like Greybull, Wyoming, Keokuk, Iowa, or Trona, California. Wouldn’t have it any other way, though. Greybull, WY, 12/16/2025.
After a seemingly never-ending curfew - over six months - I was finally able to resume the practice of night photography. I went out on the very first night and was welcomed with a deluge.

I was on a mission yesterday to find the remains of an incident and came upon remains of a different kind. An old cemetery dating back to the 1800's, seemingly forgotten with over grown weeds and tipping headstones. I found beauty in the stillness, as if time had just stopped here. Headstones indicated beginnings and endings, but not much else in between.
A seemingly unlikely duo comprised of CN 4138 and BNSF 2098 pull L583 across Rectory Street in London, and onto the Talbot Spur down to St. Thomas. It makes a little more sense knowing 2098 was on lease to CN for at least a full year by the time this photo was taken, after which CN would purchase the unit altogether. It's become one of many new-ish four-axle units to be added to the roster as of late, almost certainly to replace aging GP9's like the one pictured.

This magic place, seemingly out of this world, is in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern part of Hunan province, China. It is said that the geographic formation in the park inspired James Cameron to create planet Pandora for his blockbuster movie "Avatar".
To capture the first slice of golden sunlight shinning over that towering peak, I have to get up 4 AM in the morning, hire a local driver to take me to the place beyond the reach of "normal" tourists.

After seemingly rearranging his food cache behind for a while, the beaver walked forward and disappeared in the water. I had not realized that there was a beaver house and food cache in one of the storm sewers open water spots. Douglas Park, Wascana, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 1 December 2020.
Back in August of 2020, a pair of seemingly out of place CSX SD40-2s (8823/8840 both ex Conrail) lead CN train M3379129 (Gary, IN - Waterloo, IL) across the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal over the 124 year old former swing bridge built in 1898 by the Chicago Madison & Northern RR on the west of Chicago, IL. The train is just outside of their crew change point of CN’s Hawthorne Yard along the former Illinois Central and former Chicago Central & Pacific Iowa Division rail of the now CN Freeport Sub. Taken: 8-29-20
This was a catch to remember, as the three of us were having our normal Saturday outing in NWI just happened to be in Gary, Indiana at the right time to hear them mark up with CN DS. Not knowing where the train was going yet but one ATCS lineup up the Chicago Sub would give us our answer and then we were off to the city.
As I watched the Cup Plants today for American Goldfinch, I found this juvenile begging its parent for food while chirping and fluttering its wings constantly. The adult sat nearby, picking at a flower head for a long time while seemingly ignoring the young one. After several minutes the adult perched next to the young one and started feeding it seeds it had plucked from the Cup Plant. Kinda gross. Hennepin County, MN 08/15/21
A surreal marlboro moment as a rider on a golden Palomino appears seemingly out of nowhere during a photo shoot at Spanish Banks after a huge alpine snowstorm.

Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens). South Texas.
Reddish Egrets are famous for their graceful, acrobatic hunting technique. They seemingly dance upon the shallow water, running, turning, and waving their wings in a way that seems at the same time chaotic and choreographed. This technique startles small fish in the shallows, and the egrets will then cup their wings over their head to shade out the sun so that they may more easily spot their quarry.
Reddish Egrets are a species of conservation concern. While other species of heron and egret have recovered from the market hunting that targeted their plumes over a century ago, these graceful hunters have never fully recovered. Most estimates put their population at less than 10,000 individuals.
Markarian's Chain is a stretch of galaxies that form part of the Virgo Cluster.
This is one I never finished capturing all the data I wanted for because I switched scopes at my remote observatory before this was completed so I could capture several other targets that were starting to come into the late spring sky. Due to the seemingly endless rain of late, I decided to go ahead an process what I did have so far anyway.

Northamptonshire is a rural county on the edge of both the Midlands and East Anglia. With just six main towns - Northampton is by far the largest - and no cities, its predominant feature is gently rolling farmland. Once known for its shoe industry, cheap foreign imports have now taken over and the numerous small shoe factories either converted or demolished. The large steelworks at Corby has closed, though it still has its tube manufacturing plant. With the M1 and the A14 both crossing the county, Northamptonshire has become a major warehousing and distribution centre with new warehouses seemingly being opened virtually every week. Despite this activity and the government's insistence that thousands of new homes be built here, it remains - at least for the moment - a relatively quiet backwater. It was known as the County of Squires and Spires, after its large country houses and estates and numerous beautiful churches. It is indeed still the county of Bridget Jones.
According to Venetian official statistics approximately 16 million people visited the province of Venice in 2011, with increases projected for 2012-13. Most if not all visitors, come to visit the central island Venezia in order to see and be in the heart of the city. Geographically the city center which includes St. Mark’s Basilica, St Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace, the Rialto Bridge, as well as the homes and businesses of Venetians exists on a land mass that is roughly six square miles. These six square miles are criss-crossed by the Grand and the not-so-grand canals which invite tourists to explore the nooks and crannies of a medieval powerhouse that still displays its heritage.
However, as a frame of reference, visitors should do the math. Public access to the six square miles of the central part of Venice is reduced by the areas occupied by private housing, businesses and by canals. Effectively the 80,000 to 100,000 daily visitors and the 40,000 to 60,000 local residents or business employers and employees are competing for approximately one to two square miles of open space. Regardless of the crowds it should be noted that while tourists may travel stem to stern in seemingly endless lines of gondolas, on Venice’s solid ground no car, bus or motor scooter challenges a visitor’s right to live long and prosper. In Venice the trucks, cars, and buses come with keels and rudders. All vie for space on and in the canals. Gondoliers weave their boats and passengers through the Grand Canal water traffic much like carriage driver guide their clip-clopping horse drawn carriages through any busy city’s tourist center. To paraphrase Shakespeare, in Venice all the water’s a stage,

The ground was bare when the site was chosen. There were signs on the land here that soil here was barely draped over, these were the signs the natural characteristics that they could follow as they built up the glories of gods and set them in ‘stone bone’ back upon the Earth. The light and shadow marked out the plans by day and the stars confirmed the solar plots and so stone the bone of the land was raised for their ways to be praised longer than many, many lengths of timber lasting days.
The ground was bare when the site was chosen. Slowly addition after addition came to be wrought making a new transformed landscape. A way was made here that stood to honour our ancestors and to praise their contemporaries as they held the balance of year and kept the intent to give themselves as the makers of markers for the futures.
The ground was bare when the site was chosen. At first wooden markers were raised up and set in sockets within the ground and these posts were piled around with the egg like river stones that spoke of the fertile mother and of her elusive lover. The Spring Bolt God who echoed everywhere even as his signature was found as hollowed and hallowed as boundless vibrating Air so his spirit as swift as lightning so fully intense and so fully fledged and fletched as he as the Lord of Thunderbolts needs to be always vigilant and always ready yet also fulfilled as the Green Man that in one session flowers a Season strong enough to turn the Wheel of the Year was also upon the instant to retract, to reduce so much as to seemingly disappear.

Adobe keeps warning me that I am getting short on space in it's cloud so it's time for some housekeeping.
It's mostly a tedious affair but needs must.
Occasionally I come across images that seemingly I never worked on or posted. This one is from four years ago.
Seemingly dormant for some time, but does seem rather clean. Typical Rover beige,or if you want to be sophisticated, champagne.
HOODED MOUNTAIN TANAGER Buthraupis montana. A flock of Hooded Mountain-Tanagers was seen on the far side of the first tunnel at the Yanacocha Reserve at an altitude of approximately 3,400 meters (11,155 feet) on the northwestern slopes of Volcán Pichincha to the west of Quito in northwestern Ecuador on June 12, 2016. This individual was engaged in extracting edible green shoots from the seemingly dried up stem to its left. This photo was taken at 11:33 AM just before a fog bank rose up from the valley below precluding further photography .
The Hooded Mountain-Tanager is found in the high Andes of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, and Bolivia.
Una Tangara-de-Montaña Encapuchada Buthraupis montana está buscando comida en la Reserva Yanacocha en el las faldas noroccidentales de Volcán Pichincha al oeste de Quito en el noroeste de Ecuador a las 11 y 33 de la mañana el 12 de junio de 2016. La altura aquí es aproximadamente 3,400 metros.

Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say "Hello" and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
Once in awhile
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder, shower everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there's something in the air
Don't get me wrooooo -ong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday
Don't get me wrooooo -ong
If I fall in the "mode of passion"
It might be unbelievable
But let's not say "so long"
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong
seemingly everywhere you looked there was another gorgeous and interesting image to capture. Olympic National Park.
This is the seemingly endless dirt and dusty road to Alice Springs in the outback of the Northern Territory of Australia.
There were only two dominant primary colours in this scene - the red hues of the land and the blue of the sky.
I took a colour shot, but much prefer the B&W rendition of the large format pinhole shown here.
Intrepid 5x4 with pinhole board, Fomapan 100 developed in my favourite brew, Rodinal.
Seemingly random phrases stencilled into the rusty metal facade of the Wave apartment building on Gilles Street in the city.
An ultra-wide angle view and image captured looking to the southeast from a side porch viewing area in the North Face Lodge area while staying a few days in Denali National Park & Preserve. With many images at this location, I’d focused on the snowcapped peaks of Denali as it seemingly rose above a nearby ridgeline. Here I pulled back on the focal length and went for that setting to just let the eyes take eyes take in the full spectacle of Alaska. My thinking was to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward in order to capture more of a sweeping view across the tundra to my front. The colors of that tundra were starting to show some autumn colors with much more vibrant red and green. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLabs 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2. I then cropped some of the foreground and blue skies to complement the wide angle view with a panoramic feel.
I witnessed it seemingly drift down from a telephone pole and lightly touch down, only immediately to rise up again with a small rodent of some sort. It carried it to another pole and began lunch proceedings, where I was fortunate enough to snap off a photo.

In a pitch-black hall of mirrors (ISO 25600), artist Julian Charrière presents the
Panchronic Garden -
specially developed for the museum, a seemingly endless greenhouse full of plants, living ferns that glow jet black when bathed in infrared light. This installation evokes the history of coal mining in North Rhine-Westphalia and the huge primeval forests of the Carboniferous that grew there 300 million years ago.
Charrière clarifies also with this
which unimaginably long periods of time the earth's history is in comparison with human scales.
Why the artist is concerned ...
The title of his exhibition is "Controlled Burn"
The basic material of coal is mainly of plant origin.
Typical coal formation takes its beginning in extensive swamp forests of lowlands. The trees and ferns bind carbon dioxide, CO2 from the air by means of photosynthesis and convert it into the carbohydrate cellulose and other organic compounds.
After individual trees die, they sink into the swamp and are thus removed from the normal aerobic decomposition process - peat is initially formed.
Coal is formed from the peat when subsidence occurs over geological periods of time, i.e. many tens of millions of years, and overburden.
In this process, with increasing depth of subsidence, both the ambient pressure and the ambient temperature rise to well above 1000°. This causes the so-called incarburization of the peaty sediments.
Initially, lignite is formed. As the depth of injection increases, the coalification process intensifies. Lignite becomes hard coal and finally anthracite. For this reason, the quality of coal is often better the deeper it lies in the earth and the older it is.
Similar processes occur in the formation of oil and gas. The artist wants to make clear to us the time span of our waste and the corresponding climate and earth damage in proportion to the formation time of the fossil energy sources ...

In einem stockfinsteren Spiegelsaal (ISO 25600) stellt der Künstler Julian Charrière den eigens für das Museum entwickelte
Panchronischen Garten
vor – ein scheinbar endloses Gewächshaus voller Pflanzen, lebendige Farne, die in Infrarotlicht getaucht, tiefschwarz leuchten. Diese Installation erinnert an die Geschichte des Kohleabbaus in Nordrhein-Westfalen und an die
riesigen Urwälder des Karbons, die dort vor 300 Millionen Jahren wuchsen.
Charrière verdeutlicht auch mit diesem
Werk, welche unvorstellbar langen Zeiträume die Erdge-
schichte im Vergleich zu menschlichen Massstäben
kennzeichnen.
Sein Ausstellungstitel - Controlled Burn ...
Das Ausgangsmaterial von Kohle ist hauptsächlich pflanzlichen Ursprungs.
Typische Kohlebildung nimmt ihren Anfang in ausgedehnten Sumpfwäldern von Tiefebenen. Die Bäume und Farne binden mittels Photosynthese Kohlendioxid, CO2 aus der Luft und wandeln es in das Kohlenhydrat Zellulose und andere organische Verbindungen um.
Nach dem Absterben einzelner Bäume versinken diese im Sumpf und werden so dem normalen aeroben Zersetzungsprozess entzogen – es entsteht zunächst Torf.
Aus dem Torf entsteht Kohle, wenn es zu Absenkung über geologische Zeiträume hinweg, also viele dutzend Millionen Jahre kommt und zu Überdeckungen.
Dabei steigen mit zunehmender Versenkungstiefe sowohl der Umgebungsdruck als auch die Umgebungstemperatur bis weit über 1000°. Dies verursacht die sogenannte Inkohlung der torfigen Sedimente.
Dabei entsteht zunächst Braunkohle. Mit zunehmender Versenkung intensiviert sich die Inkohlung. Aus Braunkohle wird Steinkohle und schließlich Anthrazit. Deshalb ist die Qualität von Kohle oft umso besser, je tiefer sie in der Erde liegt und je älter sie ist.
Ähnliche Prozesse laufen bei der Entstehung von Öl und Gas ab. Der Künstler möchte uns die Zeitspanne unserer Verschwendung und der entsprechenden Klima- und Erdschädigung in der Proportion zur Entstehungszeit der fossilen Energieträger verdeutlichen ...

Seemingly with a good-size train in tow, Vermont Rail System's Washington County Railroad train NPWJ assembles its train in Newport Yard before departing for White River Junction. Or so I thought - as it turned out, on this day the crew only grabbed the first three cars and short-turned at Lyndonville, returning to Newport that same evening.
With unloading seemingly completed early a VSTP path was put in for 6D43 rather than waiting for the booked path at 18:42. However, this path only ran as far as Tyne yard where the service will presumably return to the original timings later.
The above image shows 60017 leading a lengthy rake of tanks up Bensham bank after departing from the Shell oil terminal in Jarrow. The final destination would be Lindsay Oil Refinery via a recess in Tyne yard.
60017 is on the ECML side of the cutting while the Tyne Valley line dips away on the right side of the image. The track layout is totally different on the other side of this bridge as the Tyne Valley route dives under the ECML and is no longer visible, leaving just the ECML visible from that side as seen in the image of 801229.
This hawk was seemingly trying to figure out how it could steel the prey of a Cooper's hawk (pictured previously) that had caught a dove. Large hawk with reddish brown shoulders, flanks and underwing covets and dark brown head, back and belly - they have a distinctive white patch at the base of the tail and white band at the end of the tail feathers. They feed primarily on rodents other small mammals, but also eat birds and I have seen them fight vultures of of roadside carcasses to feed on dead animals.
