The D3X
Daily Photo – The D3X
An image from one of my first trips (the first?) with the D3X. Not too bad, eh? That camera served me well in creating the fine art series!

How odd…
So yesterday we hit no.1 on the chart for my top performing posts on Instagram. Today, it’s a look at what was no.1 on Pinterest. That’s right, straight to the top and it’s such a bizarre result. I’ve never liked this image, I said so at the time, and I guess looking at it now I’ve kind of softened on it but this was posted in 2010 and now, 13 years later it has resurfaced, on Pinterest, getting double the views of the image in second place. Just odd.

Number 5
Daily Photo – Number 5
I thought it’d be fun to go through what turned out to be my top content on social media for the year and that continues today. Mainly I’ll focus on Instagram but I’ll drop in a few others towards the end as when they get traction (e.g. Flickr) the stats go crazy. So, here’s number 5 in my most viewed posts of 2023… does that make them the BEST? Not so sure, but for whatever reason they connected with people, or the algorithm!
This one is interesting… people love the shuttle. But more on that in a few days…

(This is one of those images that is always appearing on “free wallpaper” sites… even though I rarely get credit and never really gave permission.)
Still For Sale?
Daily Photo – Still For Sale?
I explored around this abandoned castle in Iceleand some time ago. It was for sale at the time and I’ve always wondered what happened to that. It’s certainly got a unique look and you’ve got a quiet life out there… maybe not during storms I guess. However what would someone do with it. I know in places like the UK they have loads of rules about people changing old buildings, does Iceland or has someone gone mad with a new style extension to the building…

After a much needed (and enjoyed) trip to spend time with the family, now it’s time to make the long journey back to NZ. First stop on an epic 3 day trek… LA.

Barry
Daily Photo – Barry
This amused me far more than it probably should have. I was thinking I should do a quick post about Barry, the TV show, which I’ve been binge watching recently. It’s awesome, love it. You should totally watch it if you like a bit of dark humor. So, I did a little search on my portfolio for “Barry” to see if any images would fit… this is what the SmugMug algorithm decided you should see. From the Barri Gòtic area in Barcelona. Anyway, less chat from me, more watching Barry for you. (OMG, I LOVE Hank… so funny…)
The Long and Curvy Road Around Iceland
Daily Photo – The Long and Curvy Road Around Iceland
It’s not always a mad sunrise or sunset in Iceland… occasionally things are moody too weather wise. I love that aspect too! That and they have some of the greatest winding roads to drive on. So much more fun that some long, straight road.
The Less Visited Parts of The Wall
Daily Photo – The Less Visited Parts of The Wall
Some of the places I visited on this ancient, original stretch of the Great Wall were almost too covered in vegetation to navigate. Thick conifers and strange plants would block this way and that. I listened to music as I explored and that made everything even more surreal. It was fascinating to see just how different the sections were to the more pristine, touristy areas.

By the Light of the Cabin
Daily Photo – By the Light of the Cabin
I had a wonderful week here in Montana. I’ve been lucky enough to be invited to this private conference here in Yellowstone a few times now. We get together and talk about science, art, Libertarianism and all sorts… It’s a very cool and interesting collection of people each time. One evening while processing my thoughts I took a walk around the main cabin. The horses come graze all around the meadow in the evening and I finally convinced one of them to stand still for a bit.
