Unfortunately the South of France did not yield many photo opportunities, particularly when I had a family in tow. Although I'm grateful that my kids still want to go on holiday with us at all. I found myself resorting to street photography rather than taking endless pictures of yachts. This was an interesting and rather beautiful phenomenon though, and one that I'd not seen before. A rainbow in a cloud. First time I've thought to use a polarising filter in a while.

Lovely clouds, I witnessed it once here in Kent, they look magical.

Insulation

3 weeks ago I walked in creativity district of Tallinn and saw workers covering one building with reeds. The shop inside of this building belongs to designer who creates new sustainable upcycled clothes so it's about recycling inside and out, I guess.

Thatched roofs always amaze me. I watched a video that shows how they make them, it was very interesting. There are lots of old buildings here in Kent with these sort of roof, so they must be kind of reliable. But I havent seen as them as external cover.

Lurking Death

it was my birthday last week, so a couple of hours up in the Apennines after a site visit was OK.

The orchid season is coming to an end, but I did get a few shots, including one with a spider lurking under the blooms. Pictures mostly stacked. Helicon seems to accomodate some movement between shots, as it was a little windy when I shot these.

I love orchids and beautifully captured orchid photos :)

Orcinus orca. I went out for a walk yesterday afternoon, and when I got to the end of the street, there were many cars parked on the shoulder of the road. Didn't think much of it. I continued on my normal walk up the hill (elevation is about 460 ft. at the top; 140m) -- about 12 minutes up and 12 minutes down. Something quick to get the heart going. Coming back, the cars were still there and I could see people standing with binoculars. Ahhhh. I think I know what's happening. Got back to the house and grabbed the camera. I have a few more, but this was one of the better shots. A bit difficult… zooming in and out (to get the whole pod or a tight shot?) and the changing lighting (ISO) and dummy me always shoots in manual mode, so lots of wheel spinning and twiddling while looking at the light meter… plus keeping the shutter speed "up" (telephoto) and you don’t know where they will surface again after they go under water. There seemed to be about 5 or 6 whales in the pod. Two large, a mid-size, and two or three smaller ones. This one is a male (distinguished by the dorsal fin).

You caught the moment here.
