For all of you who didn't know: "Lancaster County, sometimes nicknamed the Garden Spot of America or Pennsylvania Dutch Country, is a county located in the south central part of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania." This shot was taken from the Strasburg Railroad ride. A great way to spend some time with your family. Love the nature, the fields, the old and calm way this people still live their lives.
Taken with a Panasonic Lumix compact point and shoot that I got to carry around in my pocket. Decent little camera as a backup when you don't have the DSLR with you.
Went for a stroll along Lancaster canal last sunday between Bay horse and Galgate... This is a shot looking along the canal and it's reflections.. Had to get low down and dirty for this one..
On our final morning in Bonavista Brendan and I headed to Lancaster, NL for sunrise. We had pre-scouted our compositions the evening before so at 4:58am when the sun decided to peek over the horizon I was ready to capture the magic. The rugged coastline in this location was breathtaking and of all the places I have been in Newfoundland this one tops them all. There are so many possibilities for landscape shots and I feel I have only scratched the surface of this place.
This image was hand blended from 4 exposures. Two for the sky, one for the foreground rocks/land and the other one for the water. No saturation or vibrancy was added to this image..this is how magical the color was.
With landscape photography still being very new to me I would love to know your thoughts on this image. Be honest and brutal as its the only way I will learn. I look forward to sharing more shots like these of this rugged landscape I call home.

The Golden House - at least in this picture.
The construction of the house was began in 1825, and the exterior was designed by Benjamin Dean Wyatt. It was initially built for for the duke of York (the second son of George II) and called York House - but he died in 1827 when the house was far from finished.
The interior, finished in 1840, was designed by both Wyatt, and Sir Charles Barry and Sir Robert Smirke. It was purchased by George Leveson-Gower, Marquess of Stafford/1st Duke of Sutherland, and the house became known as the Stafford House for almost a hundred years.
In 1912 the house was bought by the soap-maker William Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme, who renamed it 'Lancaster House' in honour of his native county (he was born in Bolton, Lancashire).
From 1924 and for a little more than twenty years the house was the home to the London Museum, but it is now used for government receptions (the G7 summits of 1984 and 1991 were held here, for example) and is generally closed to the public.

Reposting this one, it is part of a set. I used a shot from Mick of a model Lanc and incorporated it flying over Worthing beach. Getting the shadow right took ages!!!
It really need to be viewed large if you have time :o)
Special thanks to Mick whos original model picture of the Lanc was used in the making of this picture. www.flickr.com/photos/mickb6265/3387723379/

The County of Lancaster is a popular tourist destination, with the Amish community there being a major attraction.

The last two airworthy Avro Lancaster WW11 bombers flying together in the UK, August and September 2014.
The Avro Lancaster is the most famous and successful RAF heavy bomber of World War Two. It is a legend that lives on today and the contribution made by the aircraft and its crews to the freedom of our nation will, hopefully, never be forgotten. The prototype Lancaster took to the air for its first flight from Woodford, Manchester, on 9th January 1941; the first production Lancaster flew later that year on 31st October. The first RAF unit to receive the new aircraft for operations (on Christmas Eve 1941) was No 44 Squadron at Waddington, quickly followed by 97 Squadron at Woodhall Spa. The performance of the Lancaster was simply outstanding. It could carry a maximum bomb load of 22,000 lb, its maximum level speed with a full load at 15,000 feet was 275 mph and it could cruise routinely at altitudes above 20,000ft at a range speed of 200 mph. With a full bomb load the aircraft had a range in excess of 1,500 miles. The Lancaster’s performance, its ruggedness, reliability and to many its sheer charisma, endeared it to its crews who were proud to fly this famous thoroughbred.
An impressive total of 7,377 Lancasters were built between 1941 and early 1946. Of these, some 3,500 were lost on operations and another 200 or so were destroyed or written off in crashes. The vast majority of those Lancasters that did survive the war were simply scrapped when their services were no longer required, as the reverence in which the aircraft is now held had yet to develop to the point where their preservation seemed important.
The Lancaster did not carry the weight of the night bombing offensive against Nazi Germany on its own but was supported by other earlier twin-engine bombers such as the Wellington and the other four-engine RAF heavy bombers – the Stirling and the Halifax – as well as medium bomber versions of the twin-engine De Havilland Mosquito. In total some 125,000 aircrew served in Bomber Command during World War Two; over 73,700 of them became casualties, either killed, wounded or shot down and made PoWs.
In a letter to the head of Avro after the war, Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Harris, the Commander in Chief of Bomber Command, said of the Lancaster:
“I would say this to those who placed that shining sword in our hands: Without your genius and efforts we could not have prevailed, for I believe that the Lancaster was the greatest single factor in winning the war.”
Here's yet another one from back in September at the Columbia River Gorge. This is the not-too-often-visited-but-very-pretty Lancaster Falls. I'll be out of town for a few days, so I will catch up with you all next week. Have a great weekend!

I walk past this view everyday whilst in Lancaster, yet it's so rare that I'll have my camera with me to be able to take a decent photo of the amazing reflections on the water.

In all my years living in Manitoba I had never visited Minnesota, which is just across the border. That changed this weekend, when a couple of other photographers and yours truly made a day-trip to explore the prairie around the town of Lancaster, MN. I have a hunch we'll be back in the area soon.

The Canadian Lancaster Vera has been joined by the RAF Lancaster Thumper at various events over the past few weeks - marking the first time the two Bombers have flown together in 50 years, This shot of Vera was taken at Millstone Edge Derbyshire, just minutes after preforming a Flypast at Derwent Dam Derbyshire
