A familiar view, but taken from a slightly different angle than usual.
Can't actually remember exactly where I was for this shot but it was nice to get the bright red rib motoring past to give a little interest to the otherwise rather dull Thames!

Saturday, I climbed the CN Tower for charity. It is 144 stories, 1769 stairs! Unfortunately, the rules prohibited carrying anything up the stairs, including a camera, so I have no pictures of the stairwell or the view from the top. But by arriving prior to 7am we received a voucher to go up the tower, in the elevator, for free, another day.
Since I was downtown I took the opportunity to take some skyscaper shots. Here's one of the two towers of SunLife Centre at King and University in Toronto.
Another part of this building.
More than two decades ago I was in Berea watching trains when an eastbound CSX manifest freight stopped to wait on traffic ahead. The locomotive engineer invited me to come up to the cab to get some photographs. The view is looking east on the engineer's side. (Scanned from color negative film)
Where there is still intact wall, graffiti adorns the space. Outside the fields stretch on forever....
Perhaps the most characteristic view in Yosemite is that of Tunnel View; the nomenclature a result of grand view of a wide glaciated valley with a beatiful green carpeted floor and waterfalls gushing down from tall granite cliffs and the characteristic shape of Half-Dome forming the background.
Visitors entering into Yosemite for the first time through this route are just blown away by the dramatic change of scenering between either ends of the tunnel. However, the very first time I entered Yosemite through this route, I just ended up speeding through that viewpoint.
I had since then regretted that and since then, everytime I visited Yosemite Valley, I made it a point to drop in here, irrespective of that time. I have enough photographs of it, but just to feel and experience that view is just rejuvenating!.
So here is one such image taken in the warm evening light. A thunderstorm had mired the sky above the valley, but gaps in that cloudcover on the western sky let in a few rays of golden sunlight that lit up the valley. And it left a patch of light that slowly approached the Bridalveil Falls. I hoped it would reach it, lighting up the falls, but that never happened. I think this was the closest it got.
So I ended up shooting it at ISO 100 1/8s F11 using a 50mm prime lens.

This view is so magnificent it doesn't need a description. Captured from the lodge located at Amicalola Falls State Park Lodge, Georgia.
The view over upper Foxtown area, downtown Detroit. Mike Illitch, owner of the Red Wings, Tigers, Little Caesars Pizza, and countless properties across Michigan owns much of what is encompassed in this photograph. In the three weeks since this photograph was taken, four buildings visible in this shot were demolished by Mr. Illitch, including one of the nation's first parking garages, as well as the historically and architecturally significant 2030 W. Grand River (visible just above the church, center of photo). The latter building was the (disputed) birthplace of Detroit techno and recently housed artists lofts. Unlike most of Mr. Illitch's properties, 2030 was not abandoned -- in fact, it was still habitable -- and was destroyed to make way for surface parking lots for the NCAA Final Four games. There are already 30 parking lots and approximately 3500 parking spaces in the 12-square block area between Park, Adams, Grand River, and Fisher Freeway. This neighborhood, once one of Detroit's densest areas, now only has 12 remaining buildings, five of which are abandoned.
Demolition was paid for by the Downtown Detroit Development Authority, which is taxpayer funded. Mr. Illitch's total wealth is upwards of $1.5 billion.
In the city of Detroit, there are approximately twelve parking spaces per one resident. There is so much vacant land in the city that one could build the entire city of San Francisco on the land and still have room left over for more structures.

View along the west side bank of the Malden River. It's come a long way since I was a kid and the River was a toxic waste. Lots of improvements in recent years.
I had a kickass self portrait in mind for this, but this photo happened instead. +1 in comments.
I’ve had the opportunity so far of being featured in Hard Workers Blog, in Moustache Magazine, and local exhibition, Forever Young. Coming up, I’m going to be in Quirk Quarterly, and two more creative blogs. My goal from here is to further all I do, especially digital photography. I don’t consider myself a photographer yet as, bar one or two shots that worked exceptionally, I don’t find any of my work particularly outstanding. I want to be able to look at my stream and see work like Karrah or Grant – two of my favourite photographers on Flickr. I want to be able to take a scene and make it into what I want from it. I plan to work on this everyday, and make it a part of my life. Another goal is to be in Frankie Magazine, because it’s beautiful and I support all it stands for.
If you’re interested in doing a collab, please let me know! Or If you live in Queensland and want to do a shoot together or do some modelling I’d love to get to know fellow Flickr artists and photographers. I feel there’s such a community on here waiting to happen. Also, if you’re keen to write a testimonial, like my facebook, or follow me on tumblr, that would be swell.
Basically, the number 10,000 blows my mind. I can’t believe the response I’ve had to my work, it feels like not along ago i was writing my 1000 view thank you. Every single view means that someone has taken the time to glance at something I’ve done and I can’t thank you enough. It’s that sickly feeling when I don’t upload for a while that keeps me going. It’s that feeling when I realise people are responding to what I’m doing and relating to it. It means the world, and i wish i could thank you each individually and give you cupcakes.
But for now, a silly beach typography photo will have to do. :)

Mist the valley partly obscuring Old Smokey an old spoil tip from the days when coal was king. It was called Old Smokey because the tip caught fire may years ago and smoked for quite some time until landscaped and the top flattened. I like to think of it as the only volcano in the valleys.
Thank you everyone for the views! I'm also grateful to Flickr for such a broad democratic platform for contributors from all walks of life. It's been a very enjoyable and fulfilling 5 years of active contribution and viewing of others' fine photographic works.
A big Thank You to all my followers and friends here on Flickr!
Wulingyuan is packed with tourists by day so having the evening and early morning hours is well worth

This is the inside view of this magnificent little country church. So beautiful in it´s simplicity. The ceiling is so low that you allmost have to bent a bit ..... if you are full grown ;-)
Oh my goodness ... sometime over night I hit 1 million views. I can't believe it. Although I opened my Flickr account in 2011, I didn't participate or really start adding photos until 2015. I didn't shoot in .RAW until 2015!
I know some of you get a million views in a week or a month or a year. Got my first Nikon in November, 2011.
This old lady, who has been sick since before I even started photography with three cancer battles ... well, I'm delighted.
To Him be the glory forever and ever and ever, Amen!
