Thanks for the kind words

Waves crashing over the groynes at Westward Ho!, North Devon #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin

Absolutely it is. Strangely though, I'm more of a morning person so most of my pictures are early in the day.

Before it's let loose on creating art & music and stealing jobs can we just get AI to sort out the important stuff for mankind. So far on my list in no particular order; cure cancer, end world poverty, make a printer that connects and works when you want it to.

It was a chilly wind today so I decided to go to the woods for my walk. Stuck with the B&W square format and dark for the winter solstice. #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin

This sheep made it very clear that this wasn’t the path that I wanted to take #photography #EastCoastKin

The driver "managed to contact the control centre at Network Rail and get the train diverted onto the slow line", Calder says. "That was absolutely crucial because this train was scheduled to be travelling through Huntingdon station on the tracks with no platform at 125mph." "It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere, which would have been very difficult." Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest possible way" thanks to the "incredible professionalism from the driver and the police". Train drivers are trained on how to take appropriate action, he adds,

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

A path leads down to the sea. On the right is a fence. On the left a bank of wild flowers. A man is walking down the path with his young son on his shoulders. Further down the path are a variety of brightly coloured small boats.

It's #Stunday! I think shooting very long exposures can be stunning. This is a 6.25 minute exposure made in very heavy fog. I spent quite a bit of time on processing this beast in three different programs. And then stopped. #landscape #photography #infrared #ir #EastCoastKin #longexposure #fog

Not necessarily the rocks but the rock climbers!

Many thanks. I had a very peaceful session in the woods for these.

A rainy day today so I went to the woods at Bucks Mills to practice my rain photography on the ferns. Finding beauty in the little details of life is definitely my thing these days #EastCoastKin #StunDay #Ferns #Rain #Photography
