Caught a glimpse of myself in my doublet, hose and ruff and suddenly felt terribly, I dunno… Middle Aged.

As I have just migrated servers maybe I need to post another photo today just so my time line doesn't look so sad.
This image was taken in Fortuna Bay, South Georgia. The juvenile king penguins are very inquisitive and so anything new that appears needs to be investigated. In this case one of the other photographers had left his camera and that was all they needed to come up and have a look. Maybe they saw themselves in the lens.

It took an hour's journey in an off road super jeep in deep snow and over rough terrain to get down to these falls and then a significant hike down a very steep incline carrying heavy camera gear and tripod in knee and thigh deep snow... quite a feat while snowing heavily and battling very strong winds...
Standing at twenty metres tall, it plummets into a beautiful blue lagoon. Only 100-150 people get to see these falls annually in winter as it's off the tourist trail, so it was quite a privilege to photograph them and we had the place to ourselves... it was a magnificent sight to see...

(An edit of this post) This is Felgueiras Lighthouse in Porto, Portugal.

The photo was falsely described as 'Bell Rock Lighthouse Angus, Scotland' from the facebook page I got it from. I should have checked before posting it. Thanks to those who pointed out my mistake.

You can only sell off the family silver once.

The temporary windfall from selling public assets comes at the expense of a community permanently losing parks, housing, libraries, sports facilities and much more.

Future generations deserve better.
