I found this Grass tree (Xanthorrhoea australis) at Half Way Hut at Wilsons Promontory NP after the 2005 bush fires. The Grass tree like many Australian plants needs fire to propagate effectively. Under normal conditions it is rare for the flower to form, after fire however it is a different story with every grasstree in sight sporting an amazing ‘kangaroo tail’ from its mop. Usually they are straight as a die so to find such a shapely specimen really grabbed my attention. Finding a nice angle with which to show it off proved a little more problematic. After much chin scratching and walking around in circles I ended up with my back in the dirt where I eventually found a nice juxtaposition of the ‘tail’ with the sky without trees intruding into the frame in inappropriate spots… click.

OVER ONE HUNDRED VIEWS ~ THANK YOU This was an award winning slide which I won first prize in a national magazine ~ The £1000 prize bought me my first digital camera “This shot was taken in South Beach, Florida, from the inside of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. I was having a spot of lunch and my Nikon F100 was sat on the table. I saw this fantastic red truck ~ a cement mixer ~ grabbed my camera and managed to shoot one exposure before it moved off. I used a 35mm lens with a polariser and Fuji Sensia film and it was handheld and relied on Matrix metering and the autofocus facility.” Scanned from Colour Transparency South Beach Miami Florida

Please View Large Aptly named as this is the END of the Coast To Coast Walk which goes across the full width of the country from St. Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hoods Bay in North Yorkshire. And this is the end at Robin Hoods Bay. This is the very same spot that Julia Bradbury from the BBC show Wainwights Walk stood after her ordeal of the 192 mile walk. This image was taken this morning (4th September 09) at 6.30am and this was the wonderful sunrise that I was presented with.

Please View Large Wikipedia © Haweswater is a reservoir in the English Lake District, built in the valley of Mardale in the county of Cumbria. The controversial construction of the Haweswater dam started in 1929, after Parliament passed an Act giving the Manchester Corporation permission to build the reservoir to supply water for the urban conurbations of north-west England. At the time, there was public outcry about the decision, as the valley of Mardale was populated by the farming villages of Measand and Mardale Green and the construction of the reservoir would mean that these villages would be flooded and lost and the population would have to be moved. In addition, the valley was considered one of the most picturesque in Westmorland and many people thought it should be left alone. Originally, Haweswater was a natural lake about four kilometres long, almost divided in two by a tongue of land at Measand; the two reaches of the lake were known as High Water and Low Water. The building of the dam raised the water level by 29 metres (95 feet) and created a reservoir six kilometres (four miles) long and around 600 metres (almost half a mile) wide. The dam wall measures 470 metres long and 27.5 metres high; at the time of construction it was considered to be cutting-edge technology as it was the first hollow buttress dam in the world, being constructed using 44 separate buttressed units joined by flexible joints. There is a parapet, 1.4 metres (56 inches) wide, running the length of the dam and from this, tunnelled supplies can be seen entering the reservoir from the adjoining valleys of Heltondale and Swindale. When the reservoir is full, it holds 84 billion litres (18.6 billion gallons) of water. The reservoir is now owned by United Utilities plc. / Prior to the valley being flooded in 1935, all the farms and dwellings of the villages of Mardale Green and Measand were demolished, as well as the centuries-old Dun Bull Inn at Mardale Green. The village church was dismantled and the stone used in constructing the dam; all the bodies in the churchyard were exhumed and re-buried at Shap. Today, when the water in the reservoir is low, the remains of the submerged village of Mardale Green can still be seen as stone walls and the village bridge become visible as the water level drops. / The Manchester Corporation built a new road along the eastern side of the lake to replace the flooded highway lower in the valley, and the Haweswater Hotel was constructed midway down the length of the reservoir as a replacement for the Dun Bull. The road continues to the western end of Haweswater, where a small car park has been built; this is a popular starting point for walkers who want to climb the surrounding fells of Harter Fell, Branstree and High Street. The Haweswater valley is the only place in England where golden eagles nest. There is an RSPB observation post in the remote valley of Riggindale, where the pair have their eyrie. A pair of eagles first nested in the valley in 1969 and the male and female of the pairing have changed several times over the years, during which sixteen chicks have been produced. The female bird disappeared in April 2004, leaving the male on its own. However, the RSPB are hoping a replacement female will be drawn to the area. / Lake District writer and fell walker Alfred Wainwright had this to say on the construction of the Haweswater dam in his Pictorial Guide to the Far Eastern Lakeland Fells: “If we can accept as absolutely necessary the conversion of Haweswater [to a reservoir], then it must be conceded that Manchester have done the job as unobtrusively as possible. Mardale is still a noble valley. But man works with such clumsy hands! Gone for ever are the quiet wooded bays and shingly shores that nature had fashioned so sweetly in the Haweswater of old; how aggressively ugly is the tidemark of the new Haweswater!”.

My submission for the 100’s & 1000’s brief in the Canon Photo5 Comp. Tried to be original…but this was a hard one. I originally had the bulb stuffed full of the 100’s & 1000’s but when I was glueing the bottom back on I put it down so the glue could set and it broke on me…so I went with the explosion idea instead ;0) I just hope it meets the ‘up-close’ part of the brief…lol
