Taken on a fabulous day in Redding, California – straight from my older HP digital camera on manual setting for daylight. I wanted to take a different view of the bridge and walked around and look up and this is what i saw. I moved around a little to try to get the wires all lined up and even with top of my frame. This is the result. I hope you like it.

Location: Redding California / Technique: HDR / Workflow: 6+ Raws / Equip: Canon 5D OG Featured in Group: / “Northern California Style” – March 11, 2009 / “Night Photography” – April 19, 2009 This Bridge is very special to my Wife and I because my Daughter took her fist couple steps here. Since it was dark out that night the Bridge illuminated perfectly, enough for a 1yr old to be curious why the ground was lit. I was not able to see my Sons first steps because I was working over seas and promised I will be there for my Daughter when she takes hers.

I don’t know how old this sundial was but it looked great covered with a lovely patina sitting on its old tree stump pedestal. I said was because since I photographed this someone has stolen it. The photograph was made in dark shade at Timbertown , an historic theme park at Wauchope , west of Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, on a very hot and very bright autumn day.

`Ale stenar` in Kåseberga, Scania, Sweden. / These stones are part of a stone ship, that has functioned as a `sun dial´ / and made it possible to know exactly what time of the year it was, and when / to celebrate important solar events. The smaller stone in front of the stem stone is probably representing the protruding keel of a Bronze Age ship. / It´s interesting that our present churches are divided into three or more `ships´, / at least in my language. This has been a very sacred place once! /

Sun-Dial peak in the upper Wasatch mountains, Utah. This is a hike I’ve been wanting to do for awhile, and today I got off early from work and went for it. I either seriously overestimated my physical prowess, or underestimated the difficulty of this hike because by the time I reached the lake, I was happy to be alive. I thought about turning back more than once, but the peak in the distance kept me going. Finally I arrived and shot as I nervously watched the sky change in front of me as the clouds began to look more and more ominous. After what I thought was a great shoot I started to head down. Not more than 5 minutes from leaving the top I heard a ground shaking thunder sweep down the valley. I’ve been in high alpine lightning storms and I wasn’t the least bit pleased to be in another one. After I saw a flash of lighting it occurred to me I had an aluminum tripod sticking out the back of my pack. “Aluminum is an excellent electricity conductor” was the recurring thought in my mind as lighting seemed to strike all around me and rain drenched everything. 7 miles later, after a hair raising run/jog/scramble down, I finally arrived at my car strangely thankful to be alive. I dunno, I’ve seen lightning strike close and the stuff scares the hell out of me. That was my Wednesday adventure, and this shot represents the fruits of my labor. Canon 5D. 24-105mm. HDR. Circ pol.
Sundial.
French Bridge in Corbiers France
Captured in the summer of 2008, this is Plymouth’s City Centre Sundial. People flock to this pedestrian area with lovely avenues of trees and water features. It’s a great place to shop too with many of the major high street big named favourites. I like this scene, the sundial is a place for meeting people, gethering in groups, and just sitting down to crowd watch. The young man looks as if he is praying, perhaps his date didn’t turn up or he could just be enjoying the lovely sunshine. The MadHouse shop sign makes me wonder about the shopping bug that seems to infect so many who come here. When I go shopping I don’t like browsing around lots of shops, I know what I’m going in for and where to get it, then I come home, unless I’m in photography mode. Normally when my wife is shopping I take the camera and wait outside to see what photo-opp pass me by, and then we move on to the next shop. She sometimes gets quite fed up with Niko though:) and just wants my company. Fortunately after almost 30 years of marriage, I’ve learned to detect her mood swings and I’ll often cheer her up by getting some lunch or a coffee in one of the street cafe that are becoming ever more popular here in the UK, even in winter. What would you do at the Sundial? / Sundial: Captured with Nikon D700 and 50mm Lense: ISO 200 f/7.1
This is the city centre of Plymouth Devon UK: The Sundial is a great marker and meeting place for many local people and visiting groups to the city. You’ll often see quite large gatherings of foreign tourists here waiting for their friends etc. I love the colour and contrast in this image, with lively street candid photography giving it life. / Nikon D700; 50mm lense, ISO 200 f/7.1, 1/800 sec.
The passing of the winter sun and angle of the valley, created this mass sundial effect on the snow. Shot looking across Swaledale in the Yorkshire dales.

West side sundial. St Margaret’s has four sundials , designed by C. St.J. Daniel, on its tower, and is a very good illustration of how the appearance of a vertical sundial depends on the direction in which the wall is facing. . The sundial on the south face has the gnomon (which casts the shadow) slanting out from sundial at the angle of the co-latitude (so that the gnomon points at the Celestial Pole, and is thus parallel with the axis of the earth), and the hour lines fanning out from the base of the gnomon. You can see that the hour lines are symmetrical about the vertical 12 o’clock line. This shows that this sundial is pointing due south. The gnomons on the east and west faces also have to point directly at the Celestial Pole, and thus be parallel to the gnomon on the south-facing dial. The only way this can be done is by having the gnomon standing out from the surface of the dial. The hour lines are parallel lines marked on the dialplate. The east-facing dial records the morning hours, up to solar noon, and the west-facing dial records the afternoon hours. taken from – http://www.sundials.co.uk/~thames.htm A very interesting website to check out! If/When I ever get back / to London, I would love to see each one of these sundials.
