High Speed Shooting Series
Dragonflies are among the fastest flying insects. When diving towards a plant or during other high-speed maneuvers, they can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour (approximately 48 kilometers per hour). This incredible speed, combined with their agility, makes them highly effective predators and efficient at evading predators themselves.
There is a particular spot in Sugar Mill Gardens in Port Orange, FL which is maintained by the master gardeners, and is especially lovely. This is a scene taken looking in that direction, although it is not OF the master's garden, itself. I particularly love the colors that pop out in the distance in this place! No matter how often you go, or how many shots you take of the same things, it always continues to amaze with its beauty and thanks to the work of those master gardeners, provides ever changing and gorgeous visual interest, which has for a long time been a favorite of photographers in our area.

The drive from Glasgow seemed familiar, not for the actual route taken but for the order of atmospheric events. As sure as I'd left the sunny east coast for the grey and gloomy west, now I was trading back again, escaping thick for the blue skies past Perth. Climbing up the A9 towards Perth, the sun started break the seemingly impenetrable blanket of fog in particularly distracting form.
Soon the car had been chucked in to the nearest side road and I was backtracking on foot along the carriageway in search of a vantage point unfettered by various foreground distractions, such was my preoccupation with the rays being cast through layer after layer of the forest around Culteuchar hill. Trees, fences, electricity and telephone wires now eliminated from view, the vapour rising from Wester Cairnie farm and catching a diffuse backlit glow was a suitably eye-catching foreground to balance out those rays.
Two shots taken as the last of the morning mists dissipate. They lasted until 7am, some 2 hours after sunrise which was surprising! Shots are taken from the same spot just outside Hartington above the path down to Beresford Dale
Looking towards Silbury Hill from Avebury.
Composed mainly of chalk and clay excavated from the surrounding area, the mound stands 40 metres (130 ft) high and covers about 5 acres (2 ha). It is a display of immense technical skill and prolonged control over labour and resources. Archaeologists calculate that Silbury Hill was built about 4750 years ago and that it took 18 million man-hours, or 500 men working for 15 years (Atkinson 1974:128) to deposit and shape 248,000 cubic metres (324,000 cu yd) of earth and fill on top of a natural hill
The base of the hill is circular and 167 metres (548 ft) in diameter. The summit is flat-topped and 30 metres (98 ft) in diameter.
While we were on top of Neel Giree, the cloud covered us all of a sudden. Wind started to pick up. This is a picture of my sister walking down the Neel Giree. Neel Giree is located in Bandarban, Bangladesh. View On Black

On a perfect summer day by the beach, a view southwards towards the Russian exclave of Kalinigrad, just visible as the leftmost promontory of land the little Lithuanian resort town of Nida, on the remarkable Curonian Spit.
Stodmarsh.
It was flying straight towards me but as it turned to be side on it went to high to get a shot out of the hide window. Drat!
