Got the vibes of a Pentti Sammallahti photograph. I'm feeling isolation but not in a bad way. Great image, if I may say so.

A personal favourite from a trip last summer. where the loch meets the sea.

The shapes and soft light on the surface of the loch really caught my eye.

Silhouette of the Redcar blastfurnace.  Almost cleared away now, just the hearth remains.  The furnace is reflected in a roadside puddle

After a bit of doing nothing in particular , here is an old image of the Redcar blastfurnace just before they blew it up, or down !

A slope in the countryside where a tree plantation has been cut down, leaving just the stumps that have been bleached in the sun. The stumps are in stark contrast with the darker vegetation, the sky is a uniform grey with no definition.

The glow in the sky as the sun is rising on the summer solstice. The moon is still present above the ancient burial mounds on the far Moor. A view from Roseberry Topping with no one around, no bird song just a dog barking in the farm below.

The sun's glow just before sunrise on the summer solstice. The moon is still in the sky above the ancients burial grounds on Great Ayton Moor.

The solstice sun rises, taken from the summit of Roseberry Topping in the County of Yorkshire, England. A man sits in silhouette, having recorded the sunrise for himself.

A no fly tipping sign on land that is now an SSSI but used to be a slag processing area of the old Ironworks. The chemical content of the slag has brought lime loving plants and all the insects that live on them.

South Gare, Teesside .The old slag processing a of the old Ironworks of Warrenby. The slag chemical content has enabled lime loving plants and their associated insects to thrive in this land that is now a SSSI.

A casting operator watching a strand being "capped off" with water to cool the end of the cast . This process makes sure there is no molten steel present that could get stuck in the strand segments.  Continuous Casting Plant Lackenby Teesside 2010.
