Three little boats in with the big boys in the harbour in Bridlington on the east coast of England. The boat called Santoy it a long way from home though, must have been one hell of a ride from Devon to Yorkshire in this little thing, unless it was delivered here by road......
Three Capodimonte porcelain flowers, bought years ago through the Signals catalog. (And their reflections.)
Three leaves survived the fire / and these now make history / into contemporary art / unless the news was about contemporary art / than that now is history.

We camped for a night just a few kilometers from this spot, knew there was the possibility of stormy weather, and caught this scene before it arrived. An hour later, with darkness falling, we watched a very large cell moving slowly along the North shore of the St Lawrence from where we stood. The next day we learned that it had a downdraft in excess of 100 km/hr and there was considerable damage where it had passed.
The outskirts of Trois Pistoles, where this picture was taken, was named after a silver goblet supposedly worth three gold coins. The area has a fascinating history - it's hosted the University of Western Ontario's French immersion program since 1932, and Basque whalers used an island just offshore in the 16th century.
Three Brothers in Yosemite at sunrise. I visit this spot every time I go to Yosemite. The calmness and tranquil here makes it one of my favorite locations to spend a morning at with my camera and a cup of coffee.
The beautiful rock formations of The Devil's Garden in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument were good subjects for more experimenting with night photography. As with my previous night shot, all of the light here is from the moon.
....and the wind chills were something like -25 to - Your Dead. Steam rises off the Mississippi in the early morning air.

For the Macro Mondays Group. Topic high-key. Not very pleased with this one, but I do like the subject so there will be another attempt to get closer to what I saw in my mind... HMM
From Wiki:
The wreck that can be seen off the harbour is the coaster SS Vina which was used for target practice by the RAF before sinking in 1944. The Vina was built at Leith by Ramage & Ferguson in 1894, and was registered at Grangemouth. She was a coast-hugging general cargo ship which would have worked the crossings between the east coast of England and through to the Baltic states.
As she neared the end of her useful seagoing life in 1940, Vina was requisitioned as a naval vessel for wartime use, carrying a crew of 12. With Great Yarmouth being a strategic port on the east coast, the ultimate fate for the ship would have been to have had her hold filled with explosives, and destroyed at the mouth of the harbour, thus blocking entry in the event of Nazi invasion. However, as this threat passed, she was taken out of service and towed up the east coast towards Brancaster where she was used as a target for the RAF before the planned invasion of Normandy.
The ship was subsequently sunk and the wreck remains on the sandbank to this day. Numerous efforts have been made to retrieve the wreckage as the ship was not only a danger to navigation, but also an attraction to the holiday makers on Brancaster beach who regularly walked out to the vessel's remains at low tide. Lives have been lost due to these ill-advised actions and the local lifeboats and RAF rescue helicopters have been pressed into service on many occasions each summer.
Removal efforts have long been abandoned due to the excessive costs involved. One ambitious suggestion involved blowing the remains up, but it was calculated that so much explosive would be needed, the subsequent explosion would have broken every window in Brancaster and Brancaster Staithe. A touch apocryphal maybe, but, even so, the wreck is destined to spend many more decades on the sands before time and tide eventually erode it completely.
The tide was coming in so I didn't try to get any nearer :-) reading the above I'm glad!
