Crepuscular Rays Inspire Awe

Haiku — Crepuscular rays Inspire awe, sweep ice-made lands Awful-sounding word! Much of the landscape of Wales has been ground out by ice during the last ice age. The Cambrian mountains show this well with rounded tops and U-shaped valleys littered with boulders moved by glaciers. On this Autumn evening, the sunlight…

Red for Danger, Toxic Beauty

This charming fairy home holds an intoxicating secret. — Fly Agaric contains a strong hallucinogenic compound that is beloved by reindeer, sending them bounding around wildly when they eat it. Allegedly, this behaviour may have given birth to the legend of flying deer, ultimately of Yuletide fame. Despite its reputation, consumption of this fungus is rarely fatal but can…

Blue Moon Photography — August Supermoon 2023

In three days' time, the second supermoon of August will light the skies. — A Supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest to the Earth, a point scientists refer to as perigee. This means it appears larger and brighter in our sky. This particular supermoon is the second of the month and is given the name Blue Moon. The date of the…

The Milky Way from Ynys Mon

The night sky on 16th August 2023 North Wales, UK. — This photograph has had the minimum of basic editing — increased exposure and contrast. I wanted it to look like the view I’d seen, which was awe-inspiring just as it was. The galactic centre is partly obscured by the inevitable mist at sea level in the UK. The gear I…

Windy Day in Cardigan Bay

Two Haiku on a theme — Under influence Of gravity, moon or wind Seasoned landscaper. Clints, grykes and pavements Limestone succumbs then rebuilds The work of ages I’m not sure if the words clint and gryke are used in American English, but here they refer to particular geophysical aspects of limestone pavements, a rare habitat found…

How to Make Your Creative Mark

The positives of imperfections — None of us is perfect. We make the wrong decisions, the wrong choices, even take the wrong path completely. It is all part of our story and part of our learning curve. It is what makes us individual and gives us a unique perspective. But we are all too happy…

I Finally Got It

What is the attraction of fishing? — I never understood. Sitting for hours at the water’s edge watching a float, well, mostly float. Occasionally, reeling in, adding bait and casting again. Rarely, catching a fish only to throw the tiddler back in again. Even more rarely, catching a decent size fish, teasing it gently, letting it run…

Fostering a Lifelong Love Affair

August Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Toys” — Creating worlds with rainbows of colour. My favourite toy as a child was a set of coloured pencils. We didn’t have the new-fangled felt tip pens. Colouring pencils were so much better anyway — you could shade softly for paler colours and press hard for deeper ones. They responded to your touch. That sweet, warm cedar…

From Sheffield to Scotland — As a relative newcomer to Full Frame, I haven’t yet joined the 52-Week Photography Challenge. So, belatedly, as it’s now August, here is my first attempt at following the monthly prompts. 27. Abandoned A region of the Derbyshire Peaks just outside Sheffield was extensively quarried for the hard and abrasive…
