Seen that before Mal,The Beginnings Of The New York Mafia,that  heap laying next to the bucket is apparently a dead horse...😲

Very cool picture, I did ask myself if it could be AI, but you can see 'shake' due to the long exposure. Dead horse is a bit disturbing.

You only have to zoom in a bit to clearly see that it's just a pile of swept up rubbish ...

Swept up rubbish that used to be a dead horse... I'm not saying that was straight from the horses mouth by the way...🤔

Had fun stalking wild red deer today. Only had one chance at the stag in low light conditions. Impressive beasts close up. 

Nice colourful Hainan airline taking off on a nice sunny Saturday from Manchester followed by a TUI Dreamliner

Roe with fawn in Norfolk.Really poor light but couldn't resist .

Grey seal pup on the beach yesterday.Looks like he's on the phone to his mum.

Up in the Scottish Highlands at the moment.  Winters coming 

A couple of the Highlands Coos near where we are staying 

Hunters moon from a couple of nights ago.

Bet you didn't  know how long a Grey Herons tongue was.This one was showing it off yesterday,

What is all the commotion?

Stonechat we saw on our dog walk this morning.

I'm still learning but really enjoying wildlife photography. Not easy with a 30kg ex racing greyhound attached to my wrist either. 

I have another decent shot of the stonechat facing the other way. Will post it up when i get a chance.

I'll second that! 👍

Same Stonechat on a different perch

Uni pic here, a mate (Russ Bloore) in boating Jacket, I guess 91/2, taken in the infinity curve at UCE Birmingham, my only go at Fashion Photography.....he always was a cool buggar...

Ok, this isn’t my photography, but I used to work for Sleaze Nation Magazine, and from time to time I'd get asked to pose for ad shots, as I always hung about...  not doing much!  

So, this was a company called 'Genie' who I guess were getting in on the early texting services... I'm not actually sure how, but they paid for the advert to be done...

All I'll say is I'm obviously not the dog with a poorly leg, but I feature in all the other shots. To my shock, en route home one night on the Victoria line, they did a 48 sheet poster of this.... 😳😳😳😳😳

That's a great picture Chris. Great example of how animals camouflage themselves in their habitat. I love it.

Just had a couple of days in Snowdonia where the warm weather was spot on and the reflections were pretty good.

Absolutely stunning, great photos 

Another couple of days in Snowdonia and another reflection on Llyn Gwynant, a bit clearer this time as there was no mist. Also a friendly Robin around Llyn Elsi

My favourite wader the Sanderling.

Back in Snowdonia earlier this week and I  know they had a lot of rain last week, but still shocked to see a Great white shark near to "Lake Australia"(llyn bochlwyd) while walking in the Glyderau Mountains  🤔

 

It's that time of year again. Something I put together last year...I know it's simple... but I'm a fan of simple and the banal.

New born grey seal pup here in Norfolk.

Late afternoon sun, Marbella

Last ones from me this year, so I'll wish you all a happy and Soulful  2025 and look forward to some more great photos 

From my post Christmas mountain walk on Saturday where we were hoping for some good inversions but got a bit atmospheric instead 🙂

Voles don't stand a chance.

Nice drink today at Barkers in Cardiff... brill snug bar, loads of music portraits on the ceiling...

Replacing some boards in my loft, on the ceiling, and came across the beginning of a wasps nest. A real thing of beauty but glad its old, small and empty! 2 days before, we had a queen flying about one of the bedrooms so I guess I might come across another! On the soul front, the old boards are covered in flyers going back 20 years or more

Bit of noise on photo but you can't hear them coming.

A day out in ‘Centro de Madrid’. today we are going to see the Duke of Lerma, the old ‘ El Duque de Lerma’, that’s the Rubens portrait at the Museo el Prado, you know who he reminds me of?  About to take office over the pond, or is it the pong!  
then we will hang out el parque el retiro. Was a very nice 16 degrees yesterday in the Sun, bit misty just now but will clear up before noon I’m sure. Luego chicos :/)

Late afternoon session on the Broads.Female Barn Owl,Cattle  Egret with muddy beak and a male Stonechat.

Final Batch from Madrid. Museo de Prado, the main road outside, which is really nice on a Sunday, as they close it to all traffic. 
Also, the view from one of the roof top bars on Gran Via, they are ten a penny up there, and if you have aching feet, Wanna get away from the crowds, really nice way to have a cheeky half and soak up the sun.

Hasta Luego chicos 🙂
