These small circular rock pools, only a few feet across, are built by local beach-goers. Resembling miniature loko (fishponds) of old, these modern-day constructions are built by fishermen to keep their catch alive. They also are used by families as a "kiddie pool" for toddlers.

Burghley House is a grand 16th-century English country house near Stamford on the Cambrigeshire/Lincolnshire border, built by William Cecil. The estate features magnificent State Rooms, art collections and grounds designed by Capability Brown.
William Cecil (later the 1st Baron Burghley) began building the house as a demonstration of his wealth and power and to establish a dynastic family seat, contruction began in 1555 and the house mostly comple by 1587. He was heavily involved in its design, which was intended to impress the Queen (Elizabeth I) and her court.
While the exterior largely retains its original Elizabethan look, the interiors were extensively remodeled in the Baroque style by the 5th Earl of Exeter in the late 17th century. This included commissioning the famous "Heaven Room" and "Hell Staircase" ceiling paintings by the Italian artist Antonio Verrio.
In the 18th century, the renowned landscape architect Lancelot 'Capability' Brown was employed by the 9th Earl to redesign the gardens and parkland. Brown created the sweeping vistas, the lake, and the Lion Bridge, even altering the house's structure to enhance the views.
The 6th Marquess of Exeter, a gold-medal-winning Olympic athlete immortalized in the film Chariots of Fire, oversaw significant modernization of the house, including the introduction of electricity. In 1961, he established the Burghley House Preservation Trust, a charitable trust that now owns and maintains the house, its contents, and the surrounding estate for the public's enjoyment.
Finally the weather was fairly good on a weekend. I got a chance to go shooting. Teamed up with Skarpi and my wife and we went to the Borgarfjörður area. Out objective was to shoot mountain scapes near Skarðsheiði but cloudy weather covered all the peaks. We drove further inland to a beautiful area near Húsfell. Instead of stopping at the popular Hraunfossar waterfall (would have stopped there 2-3 weeks ago when the foliage colors where at peak) we drove even further to a river that I had previously spotted while driving over Kaldidalur mountain pass.
The cold weather of fall has changed the usual brown color of the glacier rivers to a much nicer blue color. The narrow gorge recently cut through a lava field was really interesting as was the color contrast between the cold water and the warm colors of the sky.
Here decided on a average exposure length of 2 seconds which created a sense of motion while still keeping the nice structures in the water visible.
Everybody and their aunt has a photograph of the Glade Creek Grist Mill in West Virginia’s Babcock State Park, but being that I’ve shot here once and that was way back in 2009, I was really wanting to spend some time with this beautiful scenic structure on a recent visit to West Virginia. We had spent the morning shooting at Mill Creek and eventually harsh sunlight ran us off. We were a bit surprised because our weather app was saying there was an 85% cloud cover and there was barely a cloud in the sky. After some discussion we decided to head over to Babcock to see if there was better conditions. As soon as we topped out on US 60 it was quite apparent we were sitting under the only hole in the cloud shelf and as we made our way to the park we found ourselves back under a blanket of even light.
Constructed in 1976 of pieces of 3 mills which were located across the state of West Virginia, the Glade Creek Grist Mill it is fully operational and is a recreation of Cooper Mill which stood nearby many, many years ago. For those of you who don’t know about the popularity of this place, in the fall, a line of photographers 5 deep will line up along the road downstream from the mill to capture their own iconic image of it. On this day we visited on a Friday and there weren’t many folks around, which is nice. From my understanding weekends can be ridiculous and if you’re a photographer wanting get some shots without any people in it, it can be quite the challenge. Lucky for us it was Friday and only a handful of folks had been through over the couple hours we spent here.

Part of my 'Duffus Castle through the seasons' project.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.

I had to collect some items we'd won at Auction from Clevedon Salerooms back in February 2018. So thought I'd get some shots of the pier while I was there.
The light was pretty harsh so wasn't ideal for the long exposure I wanted to capture. I thought I'd have a go at processing one this morning. This edit is just about the best I could do. I think I'm pretty happy with it

Mother nature gave South Central Nebraska a few days break from the constant rain. I shouldn't complain. We are close to the end of our rainy season. Though... this is Nebraska where we can have severe weather breakout anytime...as this storm cell did.
Late night, early morning cells were moving along a boundary. We only had a 30% chance of storms. Storms there were out in the Nebraska Panhandle died and the reformed about 1:00 am just to the west and northwest of Buffalo County in South Central Nebraska.
This was a photographic beast as I just a few miles to the east of Kearney. I wanted to use the city lights to illuminate the storm as it pushed to the southeast. It simply has got to be my favorite night chase of the year. Close to home and incredible structure!
