High up in The North York Moors National park.
We had just left the village of Goathland where I had been taking photos of the Autumn colours, it was raining when we came up the hill but when we started to come down the other side I spotted this sight in front of me, I had to stop and take some shots.
The light was reflecting off the road all the way down which lead my eye across the valley to the Radar station on the hill at Fylingdales,and the wonderful sky beyond. Fylingdales is a ballistic missile early warning system that can track objects up to 3,000 miles away, it`s role is to warn of surprise missile attacks.
The North York Moors are grazed by sheep who have free roam, as you can see they wander in the road as well, I have cloned out a white sign on the left which I feel was a distraction rather than crop the image and lose some of that blue sky.
I was photographing a small patch of orange pore fungi when I noticed this small insect sitting there. I could hardly see it - it only caught my eye when it moved slightly. It stayed there for quite a while, so I figured it was taking a rest. I have no idea what it is; hopefully someone will enlighten us! (It's about the size of a mosquito).

Birds have become fun to photograph. They are challenging to capture and I think it is adding to my skill set.
Once upon a time there was a doorway at the top of these steps but I don't think it's seen the light of day for a while now HSfS!
Photo 37/100: my 100x photos this year will be of foliage; so woodland scenes, individual trees, plants & fallen leaves 🍂🌿🌳 Way behind with uploading so please forgive the forthcoming deluge of foliage photos as I attempt to complete my project.
School was out this week which means no work for me (I'm a supply teacher) and a snow day for my children. We went out for a walk in our local area (I didn't feel like digging my car out or driving it!) to see what we could find.
Our little village looks quite nice when it's under a blanket of snow!
This is my daughter taking a photo of the ducks on the little pond in front of the police station. She puts quite a lot of thought into her photos and some of her results are very good! I have blended in her picture in the corner of this photo because she was very proud of it!
Snowy Owl
* In winter there are four age and gender classes of the Snowy Owl: first year males, first year females, adult males and adult females. Birds after their second prebasic molt are considered adults. First year females are heavily marked and can be identified in the field with reasonable certainty. Adult males tend to be the least marked and whitest. First year males and adult females are most similar.

I'm off for a day taking photos with my friend Bob today. we're hoping to take a quick Look for adders , then pop down to the coast. Who knows what we'll see . Autumn's child is by Captain Beefheart, and it's certainly getting autumnal now. My cold showers are taking on an edge .
Another one from my recent visit to Sussex Prairie Garden. When I take a break for refreshments there, I don't put my camera away because I always find something new to photograph. As much as anything, I'm probably just making the most of a little precious shade, if I'm honest. :)
25x10sec (composited in sequator - Align Stars), f1.8 ISO 1600.
In photos like these with clear sky (feat. 41mpx sensor) you can easily notice the downsides of your lens.
I could have cropped the corners but I'll leave it as it is, just for the reference.
Things like blurry stars in corners you can't fix. They do get less light than the center of a sensor, so maybe that's the reason for them being blurry in corners.
All in all, I'm thrilled with this result, that I've been taking while enjoying the beautiful seashore wind in Krapanj.

Taking the train at 6:20 and being on it for about 2 hours...is reallly tiring. It's only 10:02 PM and I feel sleepy...
While I made an effect to capture this image without cars on the road ahead, I decided to include this one as I wanted to imagine the road ahead for these drivers. They would be looking up and around from their car windows, taking in view of mountain peaks and hillsides all around.
Taking the cable car up from Beatenberg, Switzerland, gives some amazing views that are really impossible to capture. We were given a wonderful mix of clouds and landscape, with some scattered thunder and lightening to punctuate the scene.
Love this place!
Have a great week!

It always amazes me how these New Holland honeyeaters can survive these seemingly dangerous looking dives into such shallow water! Not greatly in focus, but I liked the action.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
I swear this is a Great Blue Heron, although they are not listed as a species of the Pantanal in my reference booklet. There is a Cocoi Heron which looks similar, but this had that distinct blue color. Either way, I thought the light was beautiful, and it reminded me of home, although the environment is significantly different!
A young falcon, which i'm thinking is a juvenile Peregrine but not sure, watches a group of shorebirds very closely from a high perch. When the time is right it will swoop down, using its tremendous speed to take down it's prey.
