December MMVIII

 

(Days in a haunted house, with echoes of my hauted childhood).

 

P.S. Still busy days, still busy life...but still breathing, still dreaming, still healing & still living.

Took the Panasonic G6 and 14-140 lens out for a walk. This is a test of the OIS at the long end. A bit of blur, but not bad for 1/8 second at 280mm equivalent!

One more shot of this 19th century masterpiece...

 

Completed in 1896 for $110,000, the impressive granite structure was constructed from stones quarried and pre-cut near Burnet County, Texas. Each piece was numbered and shipped for assembly, raised by a windlass pulled by donkeys.

Another beautiful tarn, further up the track from Moss Eccles Tarn, with a backdrop of Lakeland fells in the distance.

How better to end my COtoWA series than with a nice sunset? And with every conclusion of the day you should be a little bit wiser; so here's a good quote:

 

“..nature. It alone is infinitely rich, and it alone forms the great artist.” -Goethe

 

Thanks everyone!

Apparently, Anhinga is from a Brazilian Indigenous language meaning "devil bird". I always thought of them as the wise men of the waters though.

This interesting dog appeared to be thinking quite intently as I snuck of shot of him.

A very wintery looking scene at Wise Een Tarn with the Langdales providing a familiar yet alpine looking backdrop.

Wise Een Tarn, Sawrey, in the English Lake District. Local Sawrey author Beatrix Potter regularly set up her easel here to paint the hills and backgrounds to her animal pictures for her books.

I sat next to this calm grey or blue heron in Boca Raton, Florida for a half hour - and his equanimity was inspiring. Maybe some rubbed off.

Mount Wise is just a ten minute drive from home and ideal place to catch any decent evening light. Here, the mist had just lifted, resulting in a soft but warm atmosphere. Thanks for viewing.
