While in Rome I spent quite a bit of time wandering around in all the little back alleyways. I loved coming across bicycles and the little Fiat 500's parked everywhere :)

When snow and ice are fading from the Canadian Rockies, I am fortunate to capture the last winter scene, cool and quiet, which seems to bring a lonely mood to any visitors. Even though the sun is still bright, the clouds are still dramatic, winter is absolutely leaving us.
When I was working on this shot I realized that with all the colors in this scene that if this was a music score it would be like being at a rock concert.
The "Wake me up, when" is the SQS 3rd gen Cargo SHIP. Based out of the New Hashima Space Docks, this 5 person utility hauler main route is between the Jovian moons.

I started this SHIPtember 10 days late, as I was getting last minute sorting done as I knew I'd need all the fancy colours for the cargo containers... and I didn't think I would finish, from the late start, to mini vacation I had planned I was already cutting it close. Throw in a family emergency I didn't think I could finish with 2 days left. Several cases of pop later and no sleep I'm fairly happy with what I had in the end.
I'd like to do some additional passes to clean stuff up and improve on the front section....
The SHIP was destined to dock at New Hashima at Brickworld this year, and one of multiple Cargo SHIPs expected to show up in the new Island.
Huge shoutout to @alec_d who lent me a bunch of Maersk to make this even remotely possible. As well as Pierre for inspiring me to try for Maersk and inthehert to push me to finally start building.
And thanks to everyone that replied on IG story that helped with suggestions on cargo containers. And my SHIPing mate - Mr. Drake for getting the SQS fleet going with his wonderful SHIP.

When i decided to travel from Devon up north to get some pictures of trains in the snow on a sunny day this shot wasn't too far off what i was imagining in my minds eye. Having tracked down the snow and decided on this location which is Sterndale Moor with Hindlow Tunnel in the background. i was chuffed to bits when celebrity liveried 66734 came into view, its purple /pink livery stands out fantastically against the snowy landscape. She was working the 4H89 0507 Hams Hall to Hindlow empties.

The cool evening air carries the scent of pine and water as the lake reflects the fiery hues of the setting sun. Gentle ripples lap against the shore, and distant peaks glow in amber light. You cast your line, the quiet splash blending with the soft calls of birds settling for the night. A peaceful stillness surrounds you—serene, yet alive. The world feels vast yet intimate, time slows, and for a moment, everything is simply perfect. This is fishing at its finest.
(Attempt to a) tribute to Erwitt, as is this one as well.

I must stop inflicting my northern ways on my more refined southern colleagues, but when lunch can be this good it's hard
When on the island of Inisheer for a ham radio competition in 2008, I had the privilege to photograph one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. It took me many years, but I have just got around to processing the photos properly.
Inisheer (Irish: Inis Oírr) is the smallest and most eastern of the three Aran Islands in Galway Bay, Ireland. With about 260 permanent residents (2016 census), it is more populous than Inishmaan but less than Inishmore. These photos are taken from beside the primary school, which as it was summer holiday we were able to use as an operating base with power and internet.
What uses having a great depth of field, if there is not an adequate depth of feeling?

"You know they're switching up at Rome right now, right?" These were the words of a man who referred to himself as "Fox," who spoke with me as I was in South Haven, KS photographing the power there. "Uhh, no? Where is that, and how quickly can I get there," I replied?
Here, the EWLX 815, a 1963-vintage GP30 works its way back south to the elevator at Rome, KS after shoving a cut of cars up the Blackwell Northern Gateway Railway mainline to the north. This ex-ATSF line operates between Blackwell, OK and Wellington, KS, and the GP30 was built for the CNW, before going to the Fox River Valley & Western, and later the Wisconsin Central.
In talking with my dad, I honestly think that the last unrebuilt 30 I ever saw running outside of a museum WAS on the WC in Fon du Lac, WI in the late 90's. There certainly aren't many of them out there, let alone in WC paint.
When doing astrophotography, sometimes got strange photos, UFO, weird objects. During long exposure time a lot of can happen. Tripod may move, focus of camera may change, etc. Sometimes you even not remember what happen and only see some strange result on photo. I started astrophotography in middle school with such weird photos. Photos had UFO, which I did not saw by naked eye. Probably it was reflection of car light but maybe not.
There is very close popular photo technic - Intentional Camera Movement. But I am talking about Unintentional Camera Movement. I give credit for such name UCM to Greg Adams
This is one of the photos from adventures in Bolivia. Photo was done in Salar de Uyuni. Interesting effect – looks like camera reached warp speed. No Idea how it happened, probably changed zoom.
As usual, I think LARGE VIEW is better on this pic.
I started to list the things necessary for this shot to work, but people don't come to a photo site to read a novel.
Here's the short version;
I made a few decent choices and got great cooperation from the osprey and mother nature.
After that I got really lucky.
This was the result.
Thanks for stopping by

When I first arrived in Iceland, it took a while to let the thoughts fully sink in that I was indeed, actually, in Iceland; the number one country I had dreamed of visiting for years. The first couple of days passed with that dreamy, hazy feeling, not quite believing life is real. On the third day (a month ago today as I write this), my team and I went to visit some waterfalls... We were at Skógafoss, where I set up my tripod and camera while staring in silent awe at the cascading water. I began to shed my layers of scarves, coat and sweaters in preparation to put on my red dress for this self-portrait... and then I patiently waited. Waited for the sun and clouds to line up correctly to light the waterfall just right. Waited for the surrounding tourists to finish taking their photos. Waited for the breeze to blow the mist away from my camera lens. After almost 45 minutes, I finally saw my chance. I slipped off my shoes and ran towards the falling sheets of water, camera clicking away behind me... and was suddenly engulfed in the freezing, falling mist as I spun around joyously at the bottom of the falls. It was that very moment, when my clothes were soaked through and my feet kept slipping between rocks and I felt absolutely frozen, that my mindset finally changed from "dreamy, hazy" to "Oh my frognoggin' firecrackers this is freaking real" before I had to run back to the safety of my coat and scarf. It was one of those moments where I felt most alive... My heart felt so big and yet the rest of me felt so small. I have greatest respect for these places in nature and I simply can't fathom how beautiful this world is. It blows my mind over and over again.

When I saw that the sky was clear on the way home in the dark, I thought I would try and photograph Comet Lovejoy as soon as I finished my tea. After all, the information was that if I didn't take the opportunity to see it tonight (or the next few nights) I would have to wait another 6000 years to see it again. Unfortunately after some nice brown rice and spicy goulash I discovered the clouds were obscuring the night sky and I resigned myself to watching The Undateables (which my wife reckons I would be on if she hadn't done me a favour) and farting about with lighthouse pictures. So this is the last, and I hope it's not cloudy tomorrow night.
Thank you all for your comments and faves!

Yesterday at Elk Island NP..
I love to hear you say that you love me
With words so sweet
And I love the way with just one whisper
You tell me everything
And when you say those words
It's the sweetest thing I've ever heard
But when your eyes say it
That's when I know that it's true
I feel it
I feel the love coming through
I know it
I know that you truly care for me
'Cause it's there to see
When your eyes say it
I love all the ways that you show me
You'll never leave
And the way your kisses, they always convince me
Your feelings run so deep
I love the things you say
And I love the love your touch conveys
It is a beautiful sight when something so beautiful appears on your eye, so I had to stop immediately to capture this landscape.....
When I was photographing White Admirals in Lincolnshire yesterday it dawned on me that this is the first year that I have been specially to photograph White Admirals as my target species. All my other photographs have been incidentals while looking for Purple Emperors. The other thing that dawned on me is that I have never seen them as a common butterfly. They seem to occur at a noticeably lower density than other butterflies. After just a short time on the wing they seem to get ripped and scratched, and that beautiful velvety black colouration soon fades to brown. So I was determined to go early in the season to try and find pristine specimens to photograph. While watching them yesterday I realised why they damage so easily as they frequently fly inside thickets, though these may have been females in search of shaded honeysuckle on which to lay their eggs. This pristine male was nectaring on a bramble flower in a Lincolnshire wood at the northern limit of their range in Britain.
The scientific name is Limenitis camilla. Limenitis was a name applied to deities who protected harbours, and this may have been chosen by Linnaeus as the type locality was Leghorn, a harbour town on the coast of Tuscany, Italy. Camilla was a Volscian princess mentioned by Virgil in The Aeneid.
When fall rolls around, this is the area I love to travel to! Even if it's late in the season, I still enjoy it. This is up around.Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, down through Augusta and then into Black River Falls: What a beautiful drive! ...and it's even better, if the fall colors are still around!
Usually, I just go as far as Augusta, but this year I lengthened my drive a bit, stretching into Eau Claire. When I was driving back south, I saw this beauty of a barn with the colorful trees in its background. Nice! Hope you all enjoy as much as I do!
