The sun took a while to move from the band of cloud but the colours became pronounce and lit up the sky, my position was quite dark behind the boat, Single shot @ F/22 will guarantee you a sunburst, give it a try

Das Eden Project entstand nach einer Idee des englischen Archäologen und Gartenliebhabers Tim Smit in einer stillgelegten Kaolingrube nahe St Austell. Von der Idee im Jahr 1995 bis zur Eröffnung der Anlage am 17. März 2001 dauerte es sechs Jahre. Charakterisiert wird der Garten durch die zwei riesigen Gewächshäuser, die aus jeweils vier miteinander verschnittenen geodätischen Kuppeln in der Bauweise von Richard Buckminster Fuller bestehen. Hier werden verschiedene Vegetationszonen simuliert. Die Gewächshäuser des Eden Projects sind derzeit die größten der Welt.
Die Entwürfe für die geodätischen Kuppeln stammen vom britischen Architekturbüro Nicholas Grimshaw, die Tragwerksplanung von Anthony Hunt, ihre Ausführung erfolgte durch die Würzburger Firma Mero. Gedeckt sind die mehrfach miteinander verschnittenen Kuppeln mit doppelwandigen Kissen aus ETFE, einem besonders leichten, transparenten Kunststoff. Die Folienkissen wurden in eine Konstruktion aus standardisierten, sechs- und fünfeckigen Stahlrohrrahmenelementen (Raumfachwerk) eingepasst. Die Raumfachwerkkonstruktionen überdecken stützenfrei eine Fläche von insgesamt 23.000 m² (Oberfläche etwa 30.000 m²) und haben eine Höhe von bis zu 50 m bei einem Durchmesser von bis zu 125 m.

The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz). Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine[4] did the construction, MERO designed and built the biomes, and Arup was the services engineer, economic consultant, environmental engineer and transportation engineer. Land use consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
The Tropical Biome, covers 1.56 ha (3.9 acres) and measures 55 m (180 ft) high, 100 m (328 ft) wide, and 200 m (656 ft) long. It is used for tropical plants, such as fruiting banana plants, coffee, rubber and giant bamboo, and is kept at a tropical temperature and moisture level.
The Tropical Biome
The Mediterranean Biome covers 0.654 ha (1.6 acres) and measures 35 m (115 ft) high, 65 m (213 ft) wide, and 135 m (443 ft) long. It houses familiar warm temperate and arid plants such as olives and grape vines and various sculptures.
The Outdoor Gardens represent the temperate regions of the world with plants such as tea, lavender, hops, hemp and sunflowers, as well as local plant species.
The covered biomes are constructed from a tubular steel (hex-tri-hex) with mostly hexagonal external cladding panels made from the thermoplastic ETFE. Glass was avoided due to its weight and potential dangers. The cladding panels themselves are created from several layers of thin UV-transparent ETFE film, which are sealed around their perimeter and inflated to create a large cushion. The resulting cushion acts as a thermal blanket to the structure. The ETFE material is resistant to most stains, which simply wash off in the rain. If required, cleaning can be performed by abseilers. Although the ETFE is susceptible to punctures, these can be easily fixed with ETFE tape. The structure is completely self-supporting, with no internal supports, and takes the form of a geodesic structure. The panels vary in size up to 9 m (29.5 ft) across, with the largest at the top of the structure.
The ETFE technology was supplied and installed by the firm Vector Foiltec, which is also responsible for ongoing maintenance of the cladding. The steel spaceframe and cladding package (with Vector Foiltec as ETFE subcontractor) was designed, supplied and installed by MERO (UK) PLC, who also jointly developed the overall scheme geometry with the architect, Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners.
The entire build project was managed by McAlpine Joint Venture.

1935 French built Ford convertible by Matford.
The Matford Company was the result of a joint venture between the US-based Ford Motor Company and the French-based Mathis S.A. Created in 1934, Matford sales progressed from 1,049 in 1935 to 8,898 in 1938 before falling to less than half that number as the company focused on producing trucks for the French Army and slow the German advance.
For the purpose of taking this picture, in a public place without rezzing ability, I chose to include mainly statics and wore them by attaching to centre, to make it easier to move them around.
Hope you enjoy this location to visit too, I only heard of it today!

I always find it exhilarating to be alone in nature, especially when the sea is pounding. In winter time few tourists venture down here, only hearty souls who appreciate the cold climate. But imagine having all this to yourself for a moment. What joy!
When I checked on our little hummingbird nest in our back yard, I noticed one of them was outside the nest. Then about an hour later, I noticed it was back in the nest. Flight (albeit short) is the only possible explanation. Hummingbirds can't walk and they certainly couldn't have stepped over the lip of the nest. I keep checking back. I'd love to see them actually take flight.

A little find along the way, We spotted as we were walking along a lane, not another vehicle to be seen anywhere.
The gate was open and Lowena wanted to explore as well so we ventured into a field that was mainly full of patches of Nettles but when I turned around to go back to the lane my eye was drawn not only to the tree catching the light but also the state of that old farm building with it`s missing roof.
It`s amazing what can catch your eye for a composition sometimes.
We then carried on down the lane keeping an eye open for anymore compositions.

During my spring break of 2016, I ventured to many of my favorite places in the desert areas of Southern California. It was a great experience because I had some of my current and former Arcanum apprentices with me. During this night, I made my first trip to the Trona Pinnacles during the night of a full moon. I noticed that this rock formation had Polaris right above it, so I decided to try an hour of 30-second exposures. I exported them and used StarStax to assemble this image.
Rail fanning east of Bluefield, WV is a new adventure for me. Good day, fun day...looking forward to more excitement in the East River Valley.

Thomas and I ventured to the Moosehead early with the intention of doing some brush removal here at Squaw Brook. After about two hours of work, the lake and mountains are once again visible for the shot and we were off to Little Greenwood to begin the chase. The 9014, 9020, and the 1002 lead a small train elephant style.

PILATUS VENTURE (IMO: 9693214) is a Bulk Carrier that was built in 2016, sailing under the flag of Hong Kong.
It’s carrying capacity is 63276 t DWT and her current draught is reported to be 7.4 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 199.9 meters and her width is 32.26 meters.
Downbound in early morning light, the NORTHERN VENTURE begins the 180 degree turn for the stone dock just below the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor.
Taken around 1990, Northern Venture was in Lossie to get a new wheelhouse fitted. This was obviously one of my better days for getting focus and exposure right.

A family of Squirrels nested in the Oak tree this year. Last count was four young ones (above) and Mum nearby. In the garden.
I ventured out on a first serious days photting since March yesterday on the Severn Valley and an excellently ran Matt Fielding Charter with rebuilt Saint 2999 " Lady of Legend". After a long and patient wait we were rewarded on virtually the last run-past of the day, 2999 just about keeps the sunshine ( which was fading fast ) as she passes Little Rock with four of the railways the Great Western coaches in tow. Big thanks must go to the crew for this image as they new after reversing back in sunshine they had to be quick coming back, they did not mess about and just about cracked it for us.
