Mooney Falls is a waterfall on Havasu Creek, in the northwest corner of the U.S. state of Arizona, near the town of Supai in the Havasupai Indian Reservation. It is named after prospector D. W. “James” Mooney who fell to his death trying to cross the canyon on a homemade ladder. Local Native Americans called it “Hualapai” or “Hualpai” falls. It is located about 1 kilometre downstream (i.e. to the north) of Havasu Falls, just past the large campground that lies between the two falls. Mooney Falls is accessible with considerable difficulty down a very steep trail (including two rock tunnels) that has been cut into the rock. Chains and a ladder at the bottom assist, but spray from the falls coats the dust-covered rock with water and reddish mud that makes climbing treacherous.

A tranquil scene at beautiful St Mary’s Loch in scottish borders on 27/4/08. The loch is three miles long by half a mile wide, set in spectacular surroundings in the middle of the Southern Uplands about 50 miles south of Edinburgh. To preserve the peace and tranquility, only sailing boats use it, apart from the a few small fishing craft and the club rescue boats. / / It is much bigger and deeper than the nearby loch of the lowes and the bottom drops away suddenly to great depths within yards of the shore.

Constructed in 1866 by Elijah Oliver.He was the son of John Oliver and born in the cove in 1824. His original farm was destroyed during the U.S. Civil War by Confederate marauders. This cabin is considered a dog-trot cabin sence it has a breezeway between the main house and kitchen.People in the cove didn’t turn away strangers who may need food or a place to spend the night.The closed in portion of the front porch was a “stranger room” Elijah built for this reason.This cabin is located a short hike from the Cades Cove Loop Road in the Great Smoky Mountain NP

I took this on the hilltop ridge heading north into Peebles, scottish borders on 19/4/08. Only later I realised this is the old Drove Road along which thousands of cattle annually were walked from the Highlands via Crieff or Falkirk and thence south to Norfolk for fattening prior to their final journey to market in London, for sale. This was an arduous journey of between 400 adm 500 miles!! . The two clearly visible dykes (dry stone walls) on either side stopped the cattle from wandering off the track. Drovers used to herd several hundred head of cattle along such routes, chosen, not for shortness, but to avoid the cattle losing unneccessary condition, and to miss turnpike tolls where they could be charged per animal! The head drover (the only one with horse) often rode ahead to check the route, and search for a suitable grazing place for the night. The other drovers covered the distance entirely on foot, and had to make many detours along the way to retrieve straying cattle. They were paid little, were expected to provide their own food, plus make the return journey at their own expense! I even read that when food got short they would even ‘bleed’ the cattle usign it mixed with oatmeal to make their own ‘black puddings’ (not a favourite of mine still – yeuck!) Progress was slow, covering only ten or twelve miles a day. During these long treks the cattle progressively lost condition, and their value diminished. Poor drovers could accentuate this by driving the cattle too hard, or stopping places where the grass was poor. Droving like this was common from the 16th century but declined rapidly in the mid-nineteenth century when first steamships and then the advent of railways took over the work of the drovers. ps my companion on this wonderful walk was my / patient pal..... / / / / See also reading the wind* / when buster stands on the ridge and takes in all sights,sounds and scents while cooling his ears! / / / / / / / / / / / /

Balquhidder, Scotland Look at the sea, watch the waves, feel the spray on your face. / See every drop of water? I love you more…. / Walk in the woods, gaze up at the trees, feel the wind in your hair. / See every leaf? I love you more….. / Stroll along the beach, feel the textures underfoot. / See every grain of sand? I love you more….. / At night when the sky is dark, feel the air around you. / See every star? I love you more / I love you as much as the expanse of sky / That covers the distance between you and I. / As we stand alone, be sure to know / That my feelings for you will blossom and grow. / Until they reach the clouds above / And float down to you as a shower of love.

These three B/W images were taken in Broken Hill some time ago. I love the feel of cememetrys and old abandoned churchs. They seem continue to collect auras and vibrations of the spirt over the passage of time. This lovely old stone angel has a real presence about her and seems to be a living thing somehow. I hope you like them.

Boreas Pass, Colorado…..one of my favorite places on the face of the Earth to shoot at….the fact that there is hardly anyone ever up here and the fields of Wildflowers go on forever really make this quite an extraordinary place. Located on the Continental Divide, it reaches an altitude of 11,481 feet high. The pass was formerly known as Breckenridge Pass in the 1860s, when it served as an early route for thousands of prospectors during the Colorado Gold Rush who crossed from South Park to look for gold in the valley of the Blue around Breckenridge. In 1866, it was widened to a wagon road that accommodated stagecoaches. In 1882, under the direction of Sidney Dillon of the Union Pacific Railroad , the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad (by then controlled by the Union Pacific) begun laying narrow gauge tracks up the pass, which Dillon renamed in honor of Boreas, the Ancient Greek god of the North Wind.

I have just bought a new computer and calibrated the monitor (my first time doing a callibration with Spyder2). So this is a bit of trial and error! All critique most appreciated. I have given this image some heavy sharpening and saturation to give the stone a rusted look. I think it does look like rust? / The image is from the corner of an old sandstone building in the Adelaide hills. / . / /

The cabins here on the Henry Whitehead place shows what can be accomplished with determination. The newer log house, built in 1898. From logs sawn square at a nearby mill, a tight-fitting crib was built with hardly any spaces left to chink. The corners are worked to near perfection. Most of the interior log faces, ceiling joists and boards were dressed with a hand plane. How many endless strokes brought them up to this smoothness? The wall toward the prevailing wind was weather boarded to keep out wind and rain, and to preserve the chinking. A brick chimney, rare for the Smokies, was made of brick molded and fired on the property. A transition house, this one is a beautiful blend of log work and sawmills technology. By contrast, the older cabin was built almost entirely with a felling axe under emergency circumstances. Rough-hewn logs with jagged ends and the rubble stone chimney show the hastiest kind of construction.Its also a little on the uneven side.Lots of things needed done before winter set in.If you spent to long makeing a shelter you and your stock,if you had any,may starve or frezze to death. This pair of dwellings represents about the roughest and finest of log construction in the Smokies. They are located in the Cades Cove Section of the Great Smoky Mountains
