" And I shall have some peace there, For peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veil of morn, To where the cricket sings,

Where midnights all a glimmer, And noon a purple glow,

And evenings filled with linnets wings "

{William Butler Yeats}

This stream comes from a spring that cascades out from under a boulder high up on the ridge in the distance. It plays it own special music as it tumbles down the mountain where it joins many other such streams, eventually forming the great Vartry river which enters the port of Wicklow 20 miles to the south east.

The lone Mountain Ash stands and watches its passing as it has done for so many years.

A wild and a beautiful place.

I took this photo from a small bridge over the stream but without a tripod because I never carry one. Of the three photos I took, this one gave me the idea of cropping it for an abstract photo because the water formed interesting shapes. I just saw this when uploaded the photos to my pc. See photo below! 👇

Still most of the leaves are green or turning brown from lack of rain. I hope everything changes during the next few days.

👉Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment, so I can visit you, too...much appreciated!

Small stream in the outskirts of Trondheim. Dense forest and no ND filter was needed. In a couple of weeks this place is probably going to be even better with all the autumn colors.

The stream runs in the grounds of Parcevall Hall In Wharfedale near Appletreewick in the Yorkshire Dales.

This Blue Heron lives at Fassnight Park, about a five-minute walk from our home, and has become so used to us stalking him that occasionally he seems to pause for the camera to accomodate us before continuing his search for crawdads and minnows. . .

Chalk streams are rivers that rise from springs in landscapes with chalk bedrock. Since chalk is permeable, water percolates easily through the ground to the water table and chalk streams therefore receive little surface runoff. ... Of the 210 rivers classified as chalk streams globally, 160 are in England

After a late rise on my day off I discovered it was foggy. So hopped onto the bus that went to Ljungskile and hiked up to Tjölstelsröd nature reserve for a day out. Sadly by the time I got there most of the fog had lifted but you can never go wrong when spending the day out in nature. Last time I took a picture from here I was balancing on that foreground rock with my tripod sitting precariously on the darker rock just above it. Today I played it safe and just stood beside the stream :D

Light rays bathe the lighthouse and four people walking near it.

I captured this image from a mile away, then blended it with some filters available at picmonkey.com
