A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one's own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.

Finally trying to add some sketchies to things after not picking up a pen/pencil properly in over 2 years..
... is a really hard life. But, peolple have been successful at it here for thousands of years... through all sorts of climate change - us Welsh are a hardy bunch ;-)
From Several Internet Sources:
Mynachlog-ddugoes back to prehistoric times, with evidence of Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements. The area is known for its prehistoric remains, including a possible site of the Battle of Mynydd Carn in 1081

Later, it came under Norman control by the early 12th century and saw development as a slate quarrying village, with a chapel since 1794. It also played a role in the Rebecca Riots.
Prehistoric and Early History:
Prehistoric Remains: Mynachlog-ddu and the surrounding Preseli Hills are rich in prehistoric sites, including a Neolithic chambered tomb and Bronze Age standing stones.
Possible Battle Site: It's one of the possible locations of the Battle of Mynydd Carn in 1081, a significant conflict in Welsh history.
Norman Influence: By the early 12th century, the area came under Norman control.
Development and Industrial Past:
Slate Quarrying: The village developed as a settlement for slate quarry workers.
Chapel: A chapel has existed in the village since 1794.
Rebecca Riots: Mynachlog-ddu was involved in the Rebecca Riots, a series of protests against toll gates in the mid-19th century.
Modern Era:
Remoteness:
Despite its history, Mynachlog-ddu retains a sense of remoteness and is located in an area with special qualities within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
Stonehenge Connection:
The Preseli Hills, including areas near Mynachlog-ddu, are the source of the bluestones used in Stonehenge's inner circle.
Another successful trip to Dean Mason's Windows on Wildlife hide and a lovely hour spent photographing these super cute harvest mice!
Please note these are captive breed but Dean has a huge respect for his mice.
After 10 successful years Jaguar had to update the E-Type top meet the needs of its biggest market, the USA. Perhaps the biggest challenge with the Series 3 was the introduction of the all alloy V12 with its smooth power delivery and distinctive muffled “waffle” sound.
Changes to the iconic body shape were more controversial. Nine inches were added to the wheelbase and the car had a wider stance with flared wheel arches giving more interior and boot space. The delicate mouth of the original was replaced by a large chromed grille and the deeper windscreen needed only two rather than three wipers.
This 1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 Roadster NFL16M is on display in the Haynes Motor Museum.
A Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) shows off its successful Dog Salmon catch as a gull screams probably in excitement at the prospect of getting scraps. This bear was plying Pack Creek on Admiralty Island in Alaska on the Inside Passage.

I would have liked to stack this video run as well but the scope was blown about too much and AutoStakkert2! couldnt run successfully. Some success with RegiStax 6 however.
Taken about 30 minutes before the previous image.
glacier bay NP and preserve, AK usa
too early in the season ? or the day ? fog too thick ?
the expected NP ranger never made it to the ship to give a running commentary or to guide the captain to a glacier ...
and eureka ! with no local expertise - a glacier !

After fire, or logging, paper birch is an early pioneer species. For some reason, when loggers came through here recently, they left a few trees here and there. No matter, in 10 years, this hill will sport paper birch and big-tooth aspen replacements. I will return.
First successful attempt of catching milkiway using crop sensor and kit lens. Been trying for it since 2017 and never thought I would catch milki on my camera just sitting on my roof.
Undoubtedly air pollution and light pollution have been reduced by a tremendous level because of the pandemic. Will keep trying for better milkiway photographs in the upcoming days!

I have successfully completed my journey from VT to Utah! While traveling I stopped at four national parks along the way. Although two of them were nice but rather lackluster (sorry, Indiana and Ohio), the Badlands in South Dakota easily made up for it with how cool and alien the landscape was. Though I was still on a tight travel schedule I managed to set aside two hours to explore along the scenic road. What I found were incredibly gorgeous rock formations and surprising pops of color.
Lately I find myself wanting to experiment with HDR techniques gradually less ... I try to use all other available tools in order to successfully bring a captured scene into life, to make it presentable and to tell you the truth in most cases I'm not at all disappointed by the final results ...
I use multiple layers' image processing techniques and I also use masks in order to blend more than one captures together ... The above scene frame is a working combination of two captures taken from the same place but within a ten minutes' interval from one another ... The Flamingos' shot was taken first, the clarity was fine but I was not particularly happy with the background ... The second shot was a 2s long exposure and it came later, when "alas" my approach to the scene made the flamingos' fly away ... Thank God we live at a wonderful digital era ...
This kind of processing places extra meaning to Ansel Adams's words ... "You don't take a shot ... you actually make it !!! '' ...

This mature bald eagle has just successfully grabbed a fish out of the Susquehanna river (note the tail fins rising behind the body) with its right claw and will be on its way to a private lunch. It was not challenged for the fish like some eagles were. I love the column of water behind it still rising where the eagle had snatched the fish from the water.
Taken 13 November 2016 at Conowingo Dam in Maryland.
You can see the way the flake has broken off on this piece in a kind of cone shape, following the shock wave applied to the rock.
That's a hard hammer in John's hand. Those are generally pebbles. Soft hammers are made of bone.
My flint knapping photos were taken on a day course with John and Val Lord. They have a website here:
John has also written a book that's very useful as a beginner:
www.flintknapping.co.uk/shop.html
And John's son Will is also an expert in flint knapping and excellent teacher. He also runs courses, and will teach hide working, prehistoric jewellery making, bow-making and so forth as well.

This female kingfisher was a successful hunter. The damp spot on the branch next to the bird is an indication of the fish's state of health.

GroundHawks proved fairly successful when first implemented in the Falkriane wars. Their high rate of speed and higher accuracy rates due to increased stability greatly changed the current battlefield tactics. Their blitzkrieg style of attack confused and devastated opposing front lines and quickly had the enemies caught in their own crossfire. Almost when it seemed they would prove unbeatable on the battlefield the opposing Tillariants noticed something. What the GroundHawks gained in speed they lost in turning ability. This knowledge spread rapidly amongst the pilots and lead them to use the landscape to lure the GroundHawks into area's and situations where sharp turns are required, thus reducing their speed and levelling the playing field. This development contributed to prolonging the wars for another two decades.
A more unconventional mech design - although it has been done before. I thought
I would try it on this one, because if I'm going to pump out DBG mecha, I might as well try to keep it interesting. It was originally going to be a bi-ped but I took a different route based on weekend time constraints. The antler guns were also stolen off another one of my mecha.
After a long overnight trip from Kaskinen, the broken class Dr12 diesel electric locomotive number 2216 has returned back to Haapamäki thanks to the little, but brave class Dv16 diesel locomotive number 2038. At Haapamäki mood is relaxing and relieving, as soon the train returns back to the museum depot and the successful rescue operation come to an end.
Common Kingfisher / alcedo atthis. Suffolk. 14/02/23.
'HOLDING THE PRIZE.'
A successful dive for this female Kingfisher as she held a stickleback catch in her beak. It was quickly bashed senseless against the branch, then swallowed!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Cooperative fishing means fish for all. Several of the cormorants & one of the pelicans have fish if you look closely.

Fun to watch this guy go about its business for about an hour. This dipper was pretty successful and pulled a number of insect larvae out of the lake, including this one. It would thrash the larvae about until the protective dark coat came off, then gobble down the juicy larvae whole!

You may notice that this green iguana is not in fact green! She came to The Living Rainforest after being a pet for a number of years. It is common in the pet trade to selectively breed individuals with more desirable traits, and artificially create different colour morphs. This can cause issues within the captive population of the species, as it often involves in-breeding.
The green iguana (Iguana iguana), also known as the American iguana or the common green iguana, is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area; it is native from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico, and has been introduced from South America to Puerto Rico and is very common throughout the island, where it is colloquially known as gallina de palo ("bamboo chicken" or "chicken of the tree") and considered an invasive species; in the United States, feral populations also exist in South Florida (including the Florida Keys), Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Green iguanas have also successfully colonised the island of Anguilla, arriving on the island in 1995 after rafting across the Caribbean from Guadeloupe, where they were introduced.
A herbivore, it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation (the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure in the fluids of an organism by the control of water and salt concentrations) as a result of its diet. It grows to 1.5 m in length from head to tail, although a few specimens have grown more than 2 m with bodyweights upward of 9.1 kg.
This animal is a resident of The Living Rainforest which is an indoor greenhouse tropical rainforest that is located in Hampstead Norreys in Berkshire, England. It is an ecological centre, educational centre and visitor attraction consisting of three glasshouses, operated and run by the Trust for Sustainable Living. The glasshouses are named Amazonica, Lowlands and Small Islands respectively.
The Living Rainforest has been accredited by the Council for Learning Outside of the Classroom and awarded the LOtC Quality Badge. Each year around 25,000 children visit the Living Rainforest as part of their school's curriculum. It is open 7-days a week from 09:30 to 16:00.
