Another take on the photo example I posted for the Weekly Photo Contest. To put it In Context, these are some of the mill worker's tenements for a 18th-century water-powered cotton mill on the banks of the river Clyde. The river literally powered their lives. Comments always appreciated.

"Rough With The Smooth"
June 2019
An old saying I often hear is "In life we have to take the rough with the smooth" - or words to that effect.
This was Killantringan Bay on a lovely evening earlier this month. Let's hope for more of this weather over the summer!
This isn't one of my favourite images - in terms of composition, I think it could've been better. However, I thought I'd share it anyway.

Well, keep those 'not my favourite images' coming I say.

I'm with @Apple fanboy, beautiful.
Yes, I will admit to it. I am attracted to abstract art on occasion. Went to a party celebrating a person's new job in another city and the host's home was full of art. This is a portion of their front door to their home.

We took our latest rescue dog to the beach, where he had a lovely time paddling in the sea.
Our other dog wasn't in the least bit interested in the water, just an old bit of fish she had to roll in
Cheers
Hugh

Great light on the buildings, was that out of the camera or post work? Were there more buildings beyond the frame? If so it would have been nice to do a stitched pano to bring them in.

Cheers Gents, much appreciated.
Post involved a grad ND exposure reduction to try to recover as much of the sky detail as possible but the light on the buildings and trees was the real thing. Effect only lasted a few minutes before the whole scene was in deep shade. There are a range of buildings but arranged on a curve that didn’t allow for a piano approach unfortunately. Thanks for your comments
The 18.00 ferry for Purfleet, on the Thames.

Thought that was the one I was on...but it was the Woolwich Ferry. Rented a car at Gatwick enroute to Kings Lynn and the darn GPS routed me to the ferry rather than the M25 bridge. GRRRRR! Made sure I came back the other way (and went online to pay the bridge toll.)The 18.00 ferry for Purfleet, on the Thames.

[doublepost=1561377310][/doublepost]My alternate considered for the weekly thread but dropped. While the theme is "Context", figured this was more
"Contrast" - modern to old - than context.

Actually not so bad to take the Woolwich ferry as I believe it leads to the A12 on the other side of the river. Strange detour though as from Gatwick you're straight onto the M25 anyway after the M23
The vessel in my photo is on a regular trip from Zeebrugge to Purfleet with goods (and illegal immigrants!) and was one of my duties to deal with before I took retirement. She is just about to pass Southend inbound in the Thames estuary.
Cheers

We decided to take a drive and explore something new yesterday. This is Cascade Springs. Head of the springs is in the foreground with Wasatch Mountain peaks in the back. Water bubbles out of the ground here year-round and flows downhill, as water is wont to do. I’ll post a picture of the cascading section tomorrow. The road there is narrow and very unpleasant for my wife, who has a nasty case of road anxiety (worse when she’s a passenger, which she was yesterday—hey, I only get to drive the new RAV4 Hybrid on the weekends). We probably won’t go back.
