The 1873 tower is tapered in a style characteristic of Anglesey windmills. It is 33 feet (10 m) high and 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter. It may have been constructed by an Anglesey stone mason, and it is possible that the tower itself was originally used as a windmill.
The lantern and fittings cost £250 7s 6d, including the adaptation of an "earlier tower". The north-east door is flanked by small windows, and the two floors above also have small windows, but the top does not. The conical roof is slated and has a flagpole. The present lantern window is about 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) by 2 feet (0.61 m). The optic, silver-plated reflector and Fresnel lens are dated 1861 and were used into the 1970s. The lantern was originally lit by six Argand lamps with reflectors.
A smaller, conical tower, with a domed top, can be found to the south-east, and may be an earlier structure. The walls are 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) in radius and 3 feet (0.91 m) thick, with a door to the north-west, and show signs of cracking to the rubble-filled walls on the west.
Neither tower is shown on the chart of Lewis Morris, dated 1800, but they both appear on the Ordnance Survey 1818-1823 2 inches/mile map. They both probably originated as unlit markers. The cottages nearby have been used as craft workshops, and the local community here once serviced pilot-boats and lifeboats.

Eristalis pertinax is a European hoverfly. Like Eristalis tenax, the larva of E. pertinax is a rat-tailed maggot and lives in drainage ditches, pools around manure piles, sewage, and similar places containing water with high organic load and low oxygen concentration.
tapering down on the old shots since i've got the new computer set up. scary that i have to revert to getting creative again with winter's slim pickens and my crappy social life, haha. thanks for your pitstops.
CSX B708 arrived in Shippensburg right as a short rain storm moved across the area. I'm a sucker for the Geep mother-slug sets, and when I saw the no-longer-a-GP30 was going to lead west to Letterkenny I stuck around despite the conditions. I'm glad I did.
Just as the rain tapered to a mist the setting sun found a hole in the clouds, setting off this brief rainbow. Luckily the train was close, and made the frame before the light quickly faded.
If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times - if you want to have a wonderful place all to yourself, go sucker fishing - and it's not hard to see why after getting a good look at this northern hogsucker. They may not be the most handsome fish in the river, but they're pretty cool characters in my book. Their tapered torpedo shape helps them stay stationed on the bottom in very fast current where they draft behind small boulders. When feeding, they tip rocks over with that heavy-duty flat bony head and then suck up any aquatic insects hiding underneath. These neat unique fish fill an important food chain niche in fast-moving rocky rivers and should be released back to the stream after a quick photo.
A small tapered spring that came out of the inside of a bread machine. I spotted it and thought it might work to assist the film pressure plate on a lovely old Agifold 120 roll film camera. It will be a while before I get around to doing with that, so in the meantime it made a useful prop for this. The spring is just over an inch long and there is around 2/3rds of it visible here. Lit from underneath with a green LED and a red LED from the left. Didn't want to do a focus stack with this, I decided it was quite a nice effect shooting it wide to the coils widen to the back. HMM

Well, not really. These are actually tapered-tip cotton swabs, a specialty version used for industrial and hobbyist tasks where you need more precision or a smaller tip than an ordinary cotton swab.

The snowfall tapered off as the daylight faded. There were still a few cars in the lot. I had a nice conversation with a lady who was skiing. I was surprised there was enough snow and she said that there barely was enough in some spots. After last year with a huge dump of snow in November and very inconsistent snowfall after that, she was not taking any chances. So she grabbed her gear and headed out, happy for whatever little patches of glide she could find. Made me wish I had brought skis. Thanks for viewing!
By day, Venice is packed with tourists, especially when a cruise ship rolls in. After sunset the traffic tapers off a bit but there is still a lot of activity. Blue hour is particularly charming as the lights reflect off the canal...
The Grand Canal is the lungs, major artery and highway of Venice. The banks are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and display up front the art and architecture created by the Republic of Venice thoughout its storied history. The majority of these wonderful palaces emerge from water without pavement, which allows great views of the buildings on the Grand Canal by boat.

Most of us had heroes during our formative years. Mine was, and continues to be, Huck Finn. I've read the book so many times that I'm absolutely convinced that Huck is part of my family tree. I've always been fond of his laid back personality. Like Huck, I believe it's best to start off slow and to taper off. Image imagined with Huck in mind.
Image imagined in MidJourney AI and finished with Topaz Studio 2.0 and Lightroom Classic.
At a weekly meeting of fellow macro water drop addicts, a debate was raging about the best way to kick the habit. Some thought you had to go cold turkey to get your life back. Others said it was less painful if you just taper off. Taper off an addiction? Sure, by using a smaller and smaller magnification with your macro lens and gradually moving your focus farther and farther out so eventually your photos are back to normal sized. That means this less close up image doesn’t count as an obsessive post, as it’s just an experiment in tapering off. (But still kind of fun seeing two coneflowers being refracted in the same drop)

Firwood.
John Clare
The fir trees taper into twigs and wear
The rich blue green of summer all the year,
Softening the roughest tempest almost calm
And offering shelter ever still and warm
To the small path that towels underneath,
Where loudest winds--almost as summer's breath--
Scarce fan the weed that lingers green below
When others out of doors are lost in frost and snow.
And sweet the music trembles on the ear
As the wind suthers through each tiny spear,
Makeshifts for leaves; and yet, so rich they show,
Winter is almost summer where they grow.
Bloodroot. Luminescent white flowers emerging from collages of dead leaves.
Tapered petals of roughly eight, translucent-veined.
In less-petaled specimens, divergent petals much like a pinwheel; in lusher examples, layers like lotuses.
Daisy-like, but not quite; too white, of too-pointy petals, with too wily a variance in expression, opening sundial-like, then reverting to bud at night. And instead of friendly arm-like leaves waving in the breeze, a cloak of earthly green, which it rises from, then sheds to its feet.
Remember this: Bloodroot, surreally white, ghosts out in broad daylight, haunting the roadside.
Take it as a warning, if you wish; it is arguably most terrifying to encounter a ghost during the daytime. Ghosts are supposed to emerge at night, not in broad daylight; we almost never see a ghost in full visage. Hence the shock of spotting a bloodroot.
You are brave, though. You shake off this shock. You pluck one free of its earthly cloak and ask; “Why do you haunt here at this hour?”
You watch as its stem bleeds on your fingers, all too eager to tell. You consider that perhaps it haunts during the day because it has so much to say; a flower that picks you more than you it.
The blood from its roots looks much like your own. Speaks to you of your blood, your roots. You suddenly sense that you are much like this flower, a sort of ghost haunting the roadside; you are being of previous incarnations, a culmination of generations upon generations, the fruit of a grapevine of genetic code whispering diaphanous incantations, barely audible, a haunting tone vibrating your bones….even more, you are a being of blood that will one day cease to flow, lead you to become a true ghost.
On your walk home, you watch the iridescent underpinning of life emerge.
Bloodroot, bloodroot. A flower that picks you.
...
(Quite evidently, I have a rather surreal relationship with bloodroot flowers.
I first encountered them in the spring of 2011 on a walk down the street. I took some photos of them; luminescent white blossoms, haloed by the distortion of my vintage lens and adapter.
The spring of 2011 was a particularly spiritual time for me – I was, for reasons I decline to describe, close to the other side – though I didn’t think much of the flowers at the time. And I more or less forgot about them until 2023-2024, when I read two botanical texts that mentioned them and belabored the luminescent white of their blossoms, imparting to them an almost transcendent quality.
Upon encountering these texts, I began contemplating my encounter with them back in 2011 and was taken by the resonance of a transcendence-coded flower appearing to me at a time in my life of transcendental textures. It came to me that these flowers could be compared to the ghosts I so often contemplated at that time – and so, in my personal index of botanical significations, bloodroot flowers are now Ghosts.)
The nursery web spider Pisaura mirabilis is a spider species of the family Pisauridae..Striking characteristics of Pisaura mirabilis are its long legs (the fourth one being the longest) and its slender abdomen (opisthosoma). The male is between 10 and 13 mm, while the female is 12 to 15 mm.After final ecdysis, the male spiders weigh on average 54 mg and females 68 mg.
The prosoma (cephalothorax) is variable in color, ranging from light to reddish brown and from gray to black. A lighter stripe is visible down the middle of the prosoma. The opisthosoma (abdomen) is long and narrow and tapered towards the rear end
A Dash 8 widecab is leading the way on 407, as the manifest begins the assault on Springhill, with all three units online. 2454 had been holed up in Rockingham all week, being used in the yard and on transfers to and from downtown. I was fortunate enough to be able to shoot one of the transfers, and even worked on the old GE a mere 12 hours before I shot this. After doing a few moves in Rockingham yard the previous evening, our last order of business was to deliver the two six axles shown here to Dartmouth, to be used for 407. An hour and a half nap after work that morning, and I groggily got on the road, grabbed my friend Kyle, and we successfully managed a total of 8 sets of the endangered wideboi.
