I found it struggle to make landscape photography work during the summer, but it's fine for planning autumn photography. I have planned this photo from June, and I finally nailed it in this week's trip to the Isle of Skye.
I chose the route from Sligachan with a total of 8 miles hike to the summit. It's only 494 meters in height, but it's steep and tough with 30 KG of camping gear and photography equipment. I had to take a few breaks before reached to the summit. The hike is challenging, but the view is definitely worth it. The northern wind blew fiercely on the summit. I set up my tent just behind these rocks, which created a perfect windbreaker and protected me from the wind gusts. Some incredible sunset I had while I was eating my dinner on the summit. I didn't get much sleep due to the noise of the wind and rain flapped the tent.
No rain, no breeze when I woke up at 5 AM. I have to say I had my faith in meteorologists, and they didn't fail me this time. The photo was taken at the blue hour (around 6 AM), followed by some fantastic sunrise photos.

It was quite a scary experience for a chicken-hearted-guy like me as my two boatmen struggled up the lesser gorges of the great Yangtze River .
Photographed in the 1990s in negative film and the print was recently scanned to produce this digital version .
A daily struggle to keep your head above water level.
About the title and the song, they are intertwined.
Morphine is one of my cult bands and this is one of my favorite songs "Sharks".
It was sad that I got the ticket to see their last concert in Portugal and I couldn't go. Unfortunately the singer died at the next concert in Italy.

This amazing tree grows on the rim of the Grand Canyon. One branch, pointing toward the right, still lives. The other branches are dead.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

Northern Pig-tailed Macaque / সিংহ বানর / কুলু বানর
-
The Northern Pig-tailed Macaque is an endangered species, listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. I photographed them in a reserve forest in Bangladesh last December. I was waiting to photograph a few species of birds near a waterbody and found them as they came to drink. This unusual pose of these two macaques drinking water while hanging upside down looks interesting. It seems like they are telling us that their fate of survival is hanging on a narrow line like that fragile branch that they are hanging on. Are we getting the message they are conveying?

Genovesa Island, its sandy coral beach with a great viewpoint of the bay, is one of the Galapagos’ jewels. It is also known as the “Bird Island“ offering the opportunity to enjoy the most representative birds of Galapagos as: Puffball–chicks, white both yellow–crowned and lava herons, Red footed boobies contrasting with the Nazca booby and also the Swallow–tailed gulls, the only nocturnal gulls in the world that will be nesting at the cliff’s edge.

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Looks like not many trees have survived on this side of Blakiston Creek. Winter conditions must be harsh in the Rockies.

The Ft Dodge to Waterloo local (L570) flying thru New Hardford, Iowa full of snow and with ditch lights out near sunset. They had just opened the main between Ft Dodge and Waterloo, and were the first train on this stretch of track since the overnight snowfall we had
Thanks to Scott Marsh for alerting me to this EB train. He got the same train at Sinclair, Ia a few miles West of me
What are your associations when you hear the term "class struggle"? It is probably an educated guess that a lot of history will pop up, including that of the socialist and trade union movements and even that of Marxism and Communism. Can I invite you to widen the perspective and, as I would see it, to look at what goes really on in a lot of western societies, particularly that of the UK? What is happening here can indeed be described as class struggle, but it is not that coming from below. It is class struggle from above. It is the people of wealth who are using the political and legal systems of the modern state in order to gratify themselves and exclude the large majority from the benefits of their own work. Profits are invested wherever the most lucrative gains can be made, and this means that capital is being exported, not re-invested at home. Tax avoidance is another characteristic of class struggle from above, I probably don't need to go into details. You must also have noticed that over the last three decades work has become cheap. A generation ago, one earner (usually the husband) was able to sustain the life of a family, today, you would need two earners to do the same. And the jobs they would be having would be insecure too. In the UK, as in France as well, there is opposition to this process of continuously eroding the people's access to life's opportunities. In Britain, people are on strike for a very good reason.

The weather has changed and suddenly a soggy Autumn is with us. The temperatures have dropped and the evenings have drawn in surprisingly quickly. This yesterday with the sun just struggling to show its face through dense clouds.
A wildebeeste struggles to stay afloat, shake off a crocodile that has grabbed a haunch, and make it to the safety of shore after a traverse of the Mara River goes awry. After a half-hour of give and take, back and forth, and being pulled under the water several times, the wildebeeste actually escaped the croc's jaws and stumbled to shore. Teeth marks and bare flesh were visible, but the wounds didn't go so deep that the beast was hobbled, and eventually it made it along the bank. However, it probably didn't survive for long on shore because predators would have been drawn by the smell of blood.
