Not even sure what these are. The petals seem a bit big for hydrangea.

There is always one, taking an image of the flowers this spider caught my eye. Typical for UK garden.

I was inside of a giant hedge like this once in California. It was about 30 feet wide and about 40 feet tall.

How did you squeeze in among all those branches? :wideeyed:

(When I was a little kid, my friends and I sometimes went to a nearby park, literally crawled inside the shrubbery that surrounded it, and circumnavigated the park.)

While the dogs in the park went nuts barking at the shrubbery and their owners were baffled at their unusual behavior. :wink:

There were holes in the shrubbery surface where you could get in.
A lot of people had gone in there for quite a while before me.

This little guy was hiding under the deck, and came out to look around. It was so young that it could barely stand. All four legs were wobbling. Photo taken 5-21-2024 looking out the living room window.

A few days later, it was running around the yard. Another doe in the area had twin fawns. Those three fawns have been running back and forth through our yard all summer.

The Canada geese followed us around, after food. The Tame river is the boarder of Cheshire and Lancashire.

As I was driving towards downtown late Tuesday afternoon:


IMG_5322.jpg


Most of downtown was blocked off, so I could only circle it and view the pillar of smoke from various directions. I could see that it was on the main shopping street.

When I got home, the TV stations in nearby cities were reporting that a restaurant had caught fire, and it was spreading to adjacent buildings.

Early the next morning (yesterday) I walked downtown for a closer look. Fire crews were still cleaning up. One building was completely destroyed, a restaurant where I've regularly eaten. Three adjacent buildings were severely damaged. Apparently the fire spread through the basements because of a lack of firewalls. Fortunately there were no casualties except for minor injuries among some firefighters.

I've noticed that you seem to have been going for perspective (depth) in many of your latest photos.
Very nice! :smile:

I most certainly hope not! Noting the rather far inland location of Amsterdam that could only mean a 1953 like catastrophe 😬

Fence lizard, originally recorded magnified as much as could be, and then enlarged some more using the software program on the computer. I then also tried making a video recording but little lizard moved too fast.

I do not know why the image is double posted. Supposed to be just the one image, once.

Number 1 and particularly number 4 are very good photos in that series, in my opinion.

Number 4 has an amazing atmosphere; it is partly overexposed and the colors don't look natural, but that doesn't matter, it adds to the atmosphere, I think. I really like it. :smile:

Were you shooting with your tablet?

After visiting the iron furnaces in Scranton (posted earlier), I went to the Steamtown National Historical Site. The main building is in the form of a roundhouse, although it’s not the original Delaware Lackawanna & Western roundhouse that once stood here.

Here’s a “fireless steam locomotive” whose tank was periodically filled with pressurized steam from a stationary boiler. It was used for local switching at a power plant.

This flyer circulated in Philadelphia in 1839, protesting the building of a railroad through the city.

A few blocks away is the former DL&W station, which is now a hotel.

Thanks. My motivation is to document interesting things in the North West of England but also to make some "art."
The second part is harder but I have had some help!
Everything with my Lenovo tablet.
Now I can adjust, light and colour a bit more awareness. Just from twiddling knobs really.
Some I have distorted the colour for artistic effect.
I am learning little by little.
The aim is not to become David Bailey, it is to get some decent images of my city and beyond.
