Waterhead is a small town in Cumbria. In Waterhead, there is Waterhead Pier and the Marine, providing a nice walk past Lake Windermere. To take this photo, I set up my tripod on a jetty before the time of the sunset to capture the changing colour of the sky more. This is the second photograph I have posted of the sunset, and I am really pleased with my photos.

The finale from my latest video - I hope you'll give it a watch - if you haven't already - youtu.be/DAeA29lM5oc
Laguna Rosa in Torrevieja, Spain. Sadly it was not displaying it's trademark pink colour when I went but the conditions were gorgeous. I captured the sun just as it was dropping below the distant hills and then another, slightly longer exposure a few minutes later to get the best of the colours in the sky and reflections in the water. All while be ferociously attacked by the local mosquitoes that came out as the sun went down. Lots of bites but worth it I think
“I finish my wash and take sunset tea in the doorway of my tent, watching the rivers drink the light… Figures dark beneath their loads pass down the far bank of the river, rendered immortal by the streak of sunset upon their shoulders”
― Peter Matthiessen, The Snow Leopard
Only, this is not a river but the ocean ‘drinking the light’. Dear friend, if you are not in a rush, come with me. Put away your footwear and your apprehensions. Step on the gentle sand where incoming tides are bristling with child-like innocence and energy. Do you hear, the breaking waves are humming the paradisal hymn? See that big wave rushing in like a glissando going low? Allow it to be silly and play all around your feet. As it recedes, the grounds beneath you shift. Your senses tingle. Matthiessen’s ‘streak of sunset upon (your) shoulders’ shepherds your scattered thoughts, while the southern wind flutters them. In the far sky, time fades. Within this moment –this fierce moment– eternity is no longer an abstract yearning. It bears you.
Taken back on January 24th on a lovely clouded afternoon
.The sun had flown behind a strip of cloud on it`s way down but gave me the amazing rays as it did so. I would have preferred a low tide for some reflections but a mid tide leaves the beach a steep so the waves flow back nicely, you just have to time your exposure and keep it short to capture that flow back. Worthing pier in the background .
A re visit to an old composition that has done ok for me in a a couple of camera club competitions and print sales. Nice still conditions for the highish tide
The only kind of sunset that I don't like is the one that I missed.
A Stunning way to end a winters day at Victoria Point on Brisbane's bayside. I'm so glad I headed out because when I left home there was hardly a cloud in the sky! Goes to show that you need to be out there as sometimes when you least expect it Mother Nature surprises us.

A wider shot than my previous image from the river Adur and Lancing college.
The tide was flowing up river quite fast and bringing with it all sorts of floating debris, fish were jumping down in front of me, it was not long before I had to find higher ground.
This was an epic evening when tide and sunset came together and the sky did it`s stuff for me too, it got even more colourful later on as the evening moved on
These two ducks took of for flight just as I was taking the photo.. A beautiful sunset reflected in the water..
Have a Wonderful Day!
Sitting on Boracay’s famous white sand just a couple of months before the COVID quarantines ended, I found myself on what was usually a crowded beach in the Philippines—honestly, the best beach in the world, in my opinion. But on that day, there were maybe only a dozen people scattered around. Normally, this time of year, the beach would have been packed, but there we were, watching the sunset with just a few people in the water and a handful of sailboats in the distance.
The sky was putting on a show, with clouds stretching across the horizon, and the water was calm. Silhouettes of people stood in the shallow water, while the wet sand displayed patterns left behind by the waves.

“The lake waters
come for us
at first
with slow unassuming
ripples,
then in earnest.”
~Tim Stouffer
You may or may not have heard about these gems of wilderness areas in northern Minnesota west of Lake Superior, which on our maps, go by ‘Voyageurs National Park’ and the nearby 'Boundary Waters Wilderness'. National Geographic keeps naming them as one of the top few wilderness places to experience for reasons such as viewing Northern Lights, paddling one or more of 1200 plus island-dotted lakes (many interconnected), abundant fishing, houseboating, or just finding peace a few layers of silence away from the cacophony of city life. Let me tell ya… it is a wild place! It is an utterly mesmerizing place!
In recent times, you may or may not have heard about the historic flood in this area. Due to late snow melt and excessive spring rain, the water level in Voyageurs lakes have swelled past all previous marks, wreaking havoc and devastation in nearby communities. Many properties (including cabins and boat-docks) are under water. The state deployed national guards in late May, who are still working around the clock with local volunteers to sandbag properties in a near futile attempt to keep the water out. This flood is one of those national tragedies that has been deemed unsuitable for national news.
Not to divagate, you may or may not have heard that Rishabh and I were recently at Voyageurs. The resort at Kabetogama lake, where we booked our cabin nine months ago, went under water in mid-May forcing us to find last minute lodging in a subpar nearby hotel. The Rainy Lake visitor center closed a couple of days after our visit; the raised corridors in the boat launch area behind the visitor center, that we walked on a few days ago, are now deluged and closed to visitors. While there for two days, we saw the water rising slowly but surely. It was surreal. At a glance, everything was calm on the surface; after a moment of reconciliation however, everything looked displaced. Under the raising water, streets were a sliver of themselves as debris marked their borders. Houses and properties were sandbagged as if they were war trenches. Wild animals, who had lost their grounds in the interiors to the incoming water, were often seen ambling (or, sometimes joyfully playing) in roadside water puddles. While shooting the above photo from the barely-dry middle of a flooded road just outside the national park boundary, a few deer came within a few feet and behaved as shy children in the wake of a stranger –– repeatedly coming close and running away in haste, splashing water all along. I wish they were included in the above scene, but I was technically ill-equipped to shoot fast moving subjects in dying light. Nonetheless, watching them play in the tapestry of the wild waters was a frisson of excitement and a reward in itself.

Lake Mulwala is an interesting expanse of water and can look quite interesting and beautiful but marred in its view by the myriad of old dead gum trees that must make navigation for water skiers dangerous and difficult. Located between NSW and Victoria, Australia.
In 1939 Yarrawonga Weir was built across the Murray River between Yarrawonga in Victoria and Mulwala in New South Wales to create Lake Mulwala. It is located immediately downstream of where the Murray and the Ovens River meet and upstream from the Barmah Millewa forest.

After spending a period less time on Flickr with my other small account i signed in to this one and noticed people are still responding on my images and following me.
This one is taken in the floodplains near our house I hope i can spend more time on photography the next months :-)
Thanks everyone for visiting my stream :-)
A late summers evening sheds is golden rays on Brighton city, the atmosphere was a little hazy but the Dehaze tool does an amazing job of cutting through it to reveal the white cliffs to the East of Brighton .
The Silver Jubilee Bridge across the River Mersey taken from Wigg Island. You rarely have the opportunity to photograph a sky so amazing as this. It was actually from a couple of years ago and I don't think I really made the most of it then. I don't think I've seen anything like it since.
Autumn went out with a bang last night. I found this lovely old tree along the waters edge at Bribie Island, I wonder how long it will be before it falls into the sea.

It was one of those bewildering evenings. The sun had rolled over as a ferrous nugget unable to defy the horizon’s magnetism. Low-hanging misty clouds were silently rattling, and via them, the wind was bending the sky groundward. Thus touched by the sky, the earth cindered in places as if it was love-scalded. The scalding blistered noticeably on the mighty sand dunes, which–somewhat dwarfed by and intertwined with the Sangre de Cristo mountains behind them–stood like poems on fire. Rishabh and I waited by the roadside and watched the light flow like a river across this dry landscape.
Later that evening, I wrote and lamented to a friend, “[The sunset] was gorgeous, mesmerizing almost... worth losing one's mind to, but utterly brief.” Yes, the experience was transient, but paradoxically, while ongoing, it felt as if I was allowed to remain in it forever… rebirthing in it, glowing in it, braiding faint lights of my interiors with the brighter ones outside. Defined lazily, it felt like a momentary unison with everything mightier than me. But lunacy stricken, I wondered if such luminous experiences are more than mere resonance with the universe. Beyond our memories, are these higher-order encounters also encoded in our blood, and are thereby inherited by sons from fathers and mothers across many generations? If so, the blood I carry in my veins has cumulatively seen several more of these bewildering evenings than I myself have. Is that why those moments felt eternal? Is that why I perceived a connection to the unknown? And found solace?
These are crazy thoughts, I know. After all, as I said, it was one of those bewildering evenings.
a quiet beach in Palma de Mallorca at dusk, two silhouettes are caught mid-run along the shore. The sky hangs heavy with soft clouds, and the faint glow of a setting sun bathes the scene in warm, muted light. The reflections in the shallow pools beneath their feet seem to mirror the movement of the runners, adding a layer of fluidity to the image. It's as if the earth and sky are locked in a gentle conversation, the rhythmic footsteps punctuating the stillness. This is the kind of moment where time seems to blur—where day and night, land and sea, all blend into one.
by the lack of capturing nice sunsets/rises, last couple of weeks, i browsed back on some old disks hoping to find a hidden treasure ;-)
I stranded at this one taken in 2009 shooting with the good old D300 and the 16-85mm.

Enchanted Rock reflected in Moss Lake. The sun finally made it through the clouds about 10 minutes before sunset and shined on Enchanted Rock.
30 second exposure using a 10 stop ND filter.
The sun is almost gone at Lake Eola. A friendly swan was "hanging out" with me while I took this shot.
The photo I had in mind when I made it to Littlehampton, I wanted to shoot a longer exposure to get both navigation lights on at the same time.
The interval between each navigation light is I think three seconds so I had to make sure of my exposure to take in that time with a bit to spare.
I was also lucky with a dropping tide and a nice contrasty sunset sky behind the Western arm, the land mass you can see through the pier is the Isle of Wight.
There are still some more shots to come from here as the sunset and tide carried on smiling for me.

A painterly vision of Tenerife’s coastline, where golden sands, turquoise waters, and rugged cliffs blur into a dreamlike seascape. A fusion of motion and color, evoking the island’s tranquil yet vibrant spirit.
Somewhere in the Kailua-Kona coast, a dangerous beauty lurks quietly. Called a sinkhole, blow hole, or lava tube, this open-ended natural conduit connects the ocean with the coastal Hualālai volcano lava flow as a ‘well’. An incoming wave rushes through this channel and pumps out hundreds of gallons of frothy sea-water, which soon after, recedes right back into the sinkhole forming several temporary enticing waterfalls. Occasionally, a random monster wave gushes up water all around to knee deep and poses a real threat to anyone nearby of being swept right into the hole and the purgatory beyond it. Despite these risks, many photographers seek and glorify such danger and the adrenaline rush they get from messing with it. Well then, now was my turn to get a shot of the ‘well’ adrenaline for myself.
After driving an hour from another part of the island, Rishabh and I reached this ‘beach’ 15 minutes before sunset. Two tripoded gentlemen, who made it easy to locate the otherwise camouflaged sinkhole quickly, occupied the best seats for the sunset-show. “Be careful, those rocks are very slippery”, one of them kindly warned me as I tried to squeeze myself into some sort of a decent view, all-the-while wishing for their prime spot. By the time they left, the sun had long set and the menacing twilight was all there was left. Other than the occasional whitish froth in the sink, I could barely see anything else with my naked eyes. The darkness – thickly dissolved in stillness of the air – prompted mild trepidation. However, the anxiety was kept at bay by the fuzzy acoustics of sea-water churning in the well – the siren’s song if you will.
Asking Rishabh to stay far back, I kept shooting, hoping sincerely that all monster waves stay away. The ocean obliged but only partially. Once, a semi-monster wave came in and drowned me up to eight inches above my ankle. As the wave receded, I felt the intense pull of the ocean in my legs. For a brief second, I didn’t know what I would do, if the grip of my hiking boots on those slippery rocks failed. Thankfully, it didn’t. I ended up returning with my dose of adrenaline, a few decent shots of the sinkhole, and fine memories of fiddling with a beauty that knows how to kill.
This is a shot of the sunset's reflection from a huge glass wall. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I almost missed it's beauty and couldn't remember when I had last seen a sunset even though they are promised to us everday. We just sometimes forget to look. When was the last time you looked at a sunset? ;-)
Sunset on Lake Juliana was all about MayBelle tonight.

Taken near the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, where the contrast between rural and urban developments is strikingly evident.
Hong Kong was a thriving international city when Shenzhen was almost a barren piece of land with 30K inhabitants some 40 years ago. And today looking at the border it seems to be the reverse....Shenzhen is now one of the largest economies in the world, overwhelmed by high rise buildings and a population of 17+ million whereas the Hong Kong side seems to be frozen in time with the scattered fish ponds. A rather unique phenomenon.
But not before long, I am afraid the fish ponds will probably be gone, paving way for more high-rises or urban developments.
