is enough to drive away many shadows. -St. Francis of Assisi
UN SIMPLE RAYO DE SOL....
ES SUFICIENTE PARA ALEJAR MUCHAS SOMBRAS. -San Francisco de Asis.
That was picked some 10 yrs ago with a single needle. I wanted to do it straight away, but I couldn't find any other needle, so you can imagine it took me a long time :)
One single snowflake frozen in the air. I was zoomed in all the way to 105 mm, wide-open at f/4, and just happened to get lucky.
I intended to just get the repeating pattern of the logs with snow on them and this little guy creeped into focus.
It was a great way to spend some time on a beautiful day.
8876 (SN17MMV) is seen on the U5 at Mulberry Parade
NOTE: Usually, if WS260 is a single decker, it'd sub after half a rounder at Uxbridge, where driver of WS261 would swap for 260 to take it back to the depot.
Today, it appeared they didn't do this operation, making it more rarer then usual.
Here we see 8876, branded for 195, out and about on the U5.
Apologies for the poor quality; this was due to the fact this actually being the first ever time of me getting a nightshot on my camera. Hopefully I’ll get to produce better shots soon.
Metroline DEL1977 (YX12AYK) working WJ947 on the Northern Line rail replacement service, approaches York Way at King's Cross to load up on a trip to Archway and Finchley Central.
It is very unusual to have single deck buses on a double deck rail service. Due to a few late problems, two single deck buses were drafted in to cover. This shouldn't normally happen but this is better than having no bus! Willesden Junction DE1616 was used in the morning.

On my last visit to Belgium, I met up with a friend, a lady who is also a keen 'free-style' gardener like me, so it was inevitable that we talk plants and flowers...
I asked her the 'impossible' question, what is YOUR favourite flower???
After some humming and aahhing, her answer was WALLFLOWER!!!!!!
For all its stunning colours, no two are ever the same.
One of the few flowers that I had not photographed in the studio yet...
The weather was lovely, a late Easter Sunday, we wandered through her garden and I saw the wallflowers!
She got involved with a plant and that was my opportunity to take the shots!
Here they are, the fragrant multi-coloured wallflowers.
Lead and enjoy a good life, do and say things that enrich... and do not forget to tell the people close to you, how much you love them!
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

An early afternoon Eastbourne to Ashford service slows for the stop at the remote Winchelsea station. The station, which is around a mile from the town, is served by Southern class 171 diesel units which run between Eastbourne and Ashford.
Back in 1979 the stretch of line between Appledore and Ore was singled, with a passing loop at Rye. At Winchelsea, which has staggered platforms, services now use the former Up platform which just has a tiny shelter on the platform. The main station buildings on the former Down platform are now in private ownership.
Startrail, single-shot, one hour exposure, taken at night close to the northeast walls of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Dolomites), Italy.
Therefore my camera was pointed towards southwest. When you almost turn your back to the Polaris you get all these "parallel" lines, which are the trails of starlight recorded by the camera while the Earth rotates to the east.
I've been waiting to have the Milky Way completely shifted to the west, because, as I've already written some time ago, I do not like to see the light trail of our galaxy included in a strar trail, it is just a matter of personal taste of course, but I think it only generates confusion. Therefore, when my schedule and weather conditions allow, I definitely prefer to wait for the right time before to start such a demanding exposure.
It is only necessary to calculate that the exposure ends enough time before the appearance of the first faint light before the dawn.
All my startrails are always the result of one single exposure.
I want to have the shot in camera in the moment I leave the place I've visited, just to be sure I've really got what I was looking for.
So it is paramount to find out the perfect spot where to fix the equipment. It must be an area shielded by winds.
Fortunately in this alpine pass, always exposed to the winds, there are also some huge stones (taller than a person) that turned out to be very useful to protect my camera and tripod from any kind of vibration during the long exposure.
I've never particularly loved the startrails, and, telling the truth, neither I do now... anyhow, presently I have at my active 183 night shots, plus many other pending publication, so, the fact of coming out occasionally with a startrail, well, I guess is pratically statistically inevitable :-)
Actually, this shot comes from a very simple feeling: I was mounting my tent for the night, it was pitch black, with rather strong wind, so the process took a little more time than usual. Time to time I was watching these walls, huge, looming... beautiful, yes, but also somehow disturbing... black huge blocks of stone, ominous... a vision light years different from what you can see on a typical sunny day!
That's when I began to think about a possible startrail, in black and white, where these black monsters would have contrasted with the shining light of the cosmos. Huge mountains, dark, hopeless, death... pervaded by a cosmic breath of glorious otherworldly light.

FINALLY! :) A completed Single Girl quilt top! I finished off the last three blocks assembly line style last night. I was determined to get this one done!
As much as I sometimes wanted to abandon this project and give up, I'm glad I persevered. I like it much better now. It's far from perfect, there are some pretty wonky gathers in a few arcs, but oh well, it was never going to be perfect!
