I remember it had been a little cloudy all day but at the end as the cloud cleared to the South East I seized my moment to capture the reflections from the rim of that stunning cloud, Porthmeor beach St Ives Cornwall.

Our first night in New Zealand was at Akaroa and we decided that we would shoot our first sunset and grab dinner afterwards. What we didn't realise was that they had daylight savings in New Zealand and it doesn't get dark until after 9pm. Consequently all the restaurants were closed by the time we finished shooting but we did finally find a Thai restaurant open and the food was absolutely delicious! We definitely slept well that night - full tummies, gorgeous sunset and a long day of travelling.

With the awful weather we have today I thought a nice bright warming image would be nice.
This is Kimmeridge bay on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset as the sun drops down over Portland .
I`m sat at my desk and hearing noises from outside I look through the window to see my garden furniture moving about on it`s own, I hope the wind puts it back where it came from.
An update on our dog Lowena, we got her home late last night after her general Anaesthesia and Endoscopy, no foreign bodies were found but three biopsy's were done for further investigation, we should get the results next week .
I keep a watch on the Photographers Ephemeris on my phone when looking for locations to shoot, this spot turned out well with the setting sun down a straight on the River Adur at Beeding in Sussex.The midges were a right pain getting absolutely everywhere but I carried on regardless lol.The sky was good for a brief period but the clouds followed the sun sinking off to the North West below the horizon .
Reflection and light create abstract patterns through the bouncing and bending of light, with flowing lines and sharp angles that shift based on the angle of the light.

In love, souls often reach the cliff edge where they are either airlifted into eternity by tender wings of requited love or, unrequited, they tumble down turbulently into breaking waves of tribulation. Standing at the edge of the beautiful Gleason beach the other evening, I met petrified souls of unfulfilled love that have plummeted from the cliff long ago. Caressed by the dying sun and the numb ocean, they are frozen in space and time in the realm of an alternative eternity. If one could listen past the ocean’s lullabies, they would hear silent cries of these craggy remains that crave – not eternity, but – deliquescence.
A lovely sky developing over Bosham last Tuesday evening , and it got even more colour in the sky a short while later but that`s an image for another day .
The great thing about shooting local is you pretty know what your composition will be and its more of a case of getting lucky with the conditions. The more you go out the luckier you get
Back to favourite local composition, not done this for a few months. I have spent so many happy hours stomping round in the mud around here, especially in Lockdown. It's makes it more of a challenge when you have so many shots of one place, how do you do something different or beat the shots you have back home. All part the pleasure of just enjoying doing photography and enjoying it for you.
One of those stupidly coloured skys that you just could have any composition and they would look good. I was surprised I managed to get anything as it was literally only about 5 mins.
Last Friday high tide coinsided with sunset time an opportunity too good to miss. This is the edge of the River Adur near Bramber in West Sussex.I did not think the sky would do anything when I left home but it all came good for me in the end with a card full of images to take home .
Due to all the heavy smoke from the many fires in BC, there is a heavy haze everywhere and this allowed some fabulous sun sets. This sun was setting behind the mountains in the Dundareve area of West Vancouver and it left a lovely red reflection of the ocean water of Burrard Inlet also.
I have not edited this photo in any way; it is as I shot it with my camera. The sun itself was actually blood red, but in my photo it shows as a red halo around the sun instead.
If you are not a mathematician, you are unlikely to know of a gentleman named August Ferdinand Möbius, who was a professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at the University of Leipzig. Despite being outlandishly talented, the good professor didn’t exactly blaze through academic ranks because he was unable to attract paying students to take his class and would advertise his lectures as ‘free’ to get adequate enrollment. However, the absentminded professor considered mathematics to be poetic, and ended up defining and lending his name to one of the most enigmatic two-dimensional structures: the Möbius band (or, Möbius strip).
Yes, all of us have seen a Möbius band: the recycling sign on plastic or the infinity sign are great examples of Möbius band. To make a Möbius strip of your own, find yourself a rectangular strip of paper and glue both ends of the strip together after half-twisting the paper (by 180 degrees). Many things are extremely remarkable about this structure. Most uniquely, this two-dimensional structure has one surface. Don’t believe? Find yourself a ink pen and mark your initials anywhere on the surface. Now, with your finger tip, travel away from your initials along the central line of the strip surface. Keep going without lifting your finger from the paper. When you will have traveled the whole strip twice, you will find your fingers back on your initials –– convinced, that’s only one surface?
This 'one surface' property leads to another unintuitive – almost tantalizing – nature of this unique structure where the laterally inverted (mirror image) form of any physical point exists on the same surface! In a regular piece of paper, your initials and its mirror image (bleed-through the paper) would be on two different surfaces; To travel between them, you will have to switch surfaces. But in your personal paper Möbius strip, it is now possible to start from your initials, and without altering surfaces, reach their bleed-through mirror image, which is apparently on the other side of the surface from your initials! Also, one could keep walking on the only surface of the strip forever without ever needing to turn around – if you didn’t already, now you know why the infinity sign looks as it does!
Finally, the most unintuitive signature of Mobius structures is that they are unorientable. What’s that, right? Points on orientable things, like a ball or a bat, can be ‘inward’ and ‘outward’ or ‘upward’ and ‘downward’. No matter how you rotate the ball, an ‘outward’ point will always remain outward. But on a Möbius band, a point can slide from an ‘outward’ to an ‘inward’ orientation by rotating the strip. Simply put, the Möbius band has no ‘sidedness’. Here, every point and its mirror-image have collapsed on the same surface. It is as if, all dichotomies have disappeared and dimensions have warped-up somewhere!
Do Möbius bands exist in nature? Yes, they do. Despite the illusory visual of being so, the famous namesake arch in Alabama hills, CA is geometrically not a Möbius band. But, non-fictitious Möbius bands exist in nature elsewhere. Crystals of certain chemical compounds (e.g., niobium and selenium, NbSe3) display Möbius structures. In quantum physics, waveforms for fermions (not bosons) curiously reminds one of the Möbius pattern. Now, imagine how nice would it be if we had Möbius roller coasters or freeways in our perceivable world? We could then hop on them to simultaneously be ourselves and our mirror image – our alter ago – thereby drawing a closure to all our dichotomies. Wouldn’t it be nice if that happened?
Let me close with a crazy thought. What if, Möbius bands come into existence somewhere in those ten dimensions (M-theory) around us somewhen during magical times of the day, but due to limitations of our perceptual faculties, we are unable to acknowledge their presence?
This small piece of driftwood was floating down stream with the flowing water, I followed it for a while before taking several shots.
I put my tripod as low as it will go and placed myself in the water, I really did not care that I was getting wet, I just wanted to get some nice low shots against the lasting sky glow . Best seen large ,,,,,,,,Bri

The full moon rise was scheduled for December 13 this year. But often times the best shot of a rising full moon are the day before, so I was on the look out for a full moon during the evening walk on the twelfth through Cooper Mountain Natue Park in Beaverton, Oregon.
Unexpectedly on Monday's evening walk, the clouds to the west opened and filled the sky with glowing color.
Location: Touws River between Barrydale and Ladismith in the Little Karoo.
Description: Sometimes, when everything seems a little overwhelming, I feel the urge to take a few steps off the beaten track and find a peaceful place where I can sit quietly and reflect on things... and sometimes photography helps me to find those places and to see the light.

Dusk on Playa Ocotal
After a long day of driving to see Costa Rican nature at it’s best
Jenn asked a minute away from home, “hey honey feel like going to the beach ?”
So I got out of the car and though we missed the sunset, was able to capture this.
I am so glad she did !
😊

I'm still away and trying to catch up, but wifi not great!!
The Lyngen alps are located near the city of Tromsø in northern Norway. This photo is captured in the evening of late August from the Breivikeidet beach across the fjord.
Another shot from my Devon trip to be printed to hang in my gallery, I still have two more shots to work on of this sunset yet which are not long exposures. The point at Croyde in North Devon.
Found these male Mallard Ducks sitting on a log in a nearby pond and taking turns diving and bathing in the water, coloured by the setting sun.

A great sunset, a calmish high tide, just perfect conditions for great reflections of the Runcorn Bridge in the River Mersey
A change from what I was going to post today, It is such a dreary dull wet and windy day, we need some colour so I dug this little gem out to put some colour into our day , hope you like it folks .Being in the right place at the right time .

Clouds make art from a sunset! The temperature's cooling day by day .... somehow these beautiful warm colours make me feel cozier! :)
I was on a surf trip in Bali Indonesia and one evening I took my camera out. This kid in the pic was really a killer good surfer... must have grown up in the water.
One of my last shots from Wednesdays rather nice sunset, it was very nearly dark when I took this one but I was milking it for all it was worth. The sand and shingle along this stretch of coast at Lancing is very soft and not that good at supporting a tripod especially when waves comes in around and overtop my wellies , it makes long exposures a bit of a trial so I take lots more images to makes sure I have some keepers. lots more to come .
