Autumn colours (Fall colors) at @nationaltrust.org.uk Calke Abbey this morning. I might post more but I love this one - old school single focus/single shot.

Sunrise in the suburbs, or dog walking in a Staffordshire dawn... something like that, anyway.

Good morning, everyone 😁

Ascent

This is from a long time ago but comes with some great memories.

5 points if you know where it is 😉

Simple shot with a 5MP (count them!) Canon PowerShot S50, my first digital and a camera that punched above its weight.

Approaching power.

A good view of the weather from our window.

Dramatic clouds to start the day. Definitely getting ready to deliver some water...

Jersey shore - Atlantic Sunset.

La Rocco Tower, Jersey, Channel Islands.

The last holiday with my Canon T60 in 2005. A magical place.

Have a great day 😎

Sun sets behind a tower surrounded by sea. Waves break on the island and roll in towards the camera.

Dear Parcel Force. I wonder if you could just narrow down that delivery window a bit for me?
I've been up since midnight, but nothing yet 🤷‍♂️

If you're not mining then there's no real reason to scan them.
You can't sell the data. It just shows mining hotspots

Late afternoon, blackbird at the feeder. (I'm not going to say how many shots I took before I got the eye right!)

Canon R6mk2 + EF 70-200 f2.8L

Blackbird taking food from a feeder looks straight at the camera, eye framed by the wire mesh.

Amazon's algorithm!
A Hazmat suit and a backpack with a shovel is what it thinks I'll like as a fashion choice...
I can see that working at my next dinner party.
