Walk in the rain along home stretch of River Wharfe. Sycamore lying across the river, loud cracks coming from big rootball as roots snapped and tree turned downstream.
Two more trees trapped on bridge cutwaters 100m upstream, just a few weeks after two were removed from cutwaters.
Summer rain makes trees top heavy in saturated soil and river/wind brings them down.
If they can be left in situ they diversify river habitats, benefitting wildlife ... and 1/2....

Remember that classic old Aliens door poster most of us Aliens fans had as kids?.

I thought "I wonder if I could recreate it in miniature?" So I grabbed a Xenomorph figure, smashed a dolls house door to smithereens and lit that baby up! I'm pretty chuffed with the outcome!

All practically shot. Real smoke, lighting, miniatures and figures. I added a bit of digital goz to the Aliens mouth but that's all.

Brace yourself for this one: Black holes the size of an atom (!) that contain the mass of an asteroid (!!) may fly through the inner solar system about once a decade (!!!) and could explain dark matter (!!!!) and if one flies by the moon or Mars, we should be able to detect them (!!!!!) https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dark-matter-black-holes-could-fly-through-the-solar-system-once-a-decade/

Stream near Huckworthy last week #Dartmoor #Devon #mosstodon

The water was still enough to see an incredible wave extend in front the beaver’s head. I’ve seen beaver many times but never in such still water and at such a low angle to capture just how far the wave trough is in front of the beaver. What a way to kick off fall in Northern Nevada! #nevada #WildlifePhotography #truckee

Some time ago I made a gif of them:

Stream at Middlemoor, Whitchurch Down this week #Dartmoor #Devon #water #landscape

I know it looks like some heavy photoshop, but if you expose for the brilliant white of the Egrets the shadows of a small cove in the reeds become a black hole….

I spent yesterday chasing a pair of Roseate Spoonbill that somehow ended up in northern Nevada and got some good shots, but the egrets stole the show. 🤷‍♂️😆 #BirdPhotography #nevada

Stream at Middlemoor, Whitchurch Down yesterday #Dartmoor #Devon

The bonnie banks of Loch Lomond at the weekend.
A rare hot and sunny day up here.

A beautiful abandoned spa in Georgia (the country)

There are places on Skye which do not attract vast numbers of tourists but which offer a quieter, less busy experience. If you are good at map reading and have a guide book it isn’t to difficult to find them. The main thing, as with every place you visit, is to give yourself enough time to visit the star attractions as well as to find the places that are off the beaten track. A quiet welcome awaits you…
