Lipan Point on the south rim of the Grand Canyon is one of the most evocative and meditative lookouts over the Colorado. I was shooting several photos of the sunset when this guy, probably a native, sat on the rock in front of me offering himself as unintentional and occasional model for a slightly different shot than the usual ones. A little human touch in presence of this huge, vast and wild place.
I had a second look at my pictures from Norway and found a few that had been missed and would deserve being published. Here, the Jostedalsbreen glacier in the early morning. More on Norway at www.flickr.com/photos/132192297@N04/albums/72157655975010102.

Any evening shot from Stanley Park looking at the skyline of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This is one of my favourite places. I spent a lot of time in this area growing up.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
Recently I decided to take my first digital camera out to take a few pictures, it's a 2 megapixel Kodak DX3600. I got it free in 2001 with points from a local grocery store. It has a 2X optical zoom lens equivalent to 35mm to 70mm in full frame and the ISO sensitivity is only 100 and 200, not huge by any means but sufficient for what it is. It has an optical view finder rather then a EVF but the 1.8 inch LCD screen is typical of the time, hard to see and only takes jpeg's. I cropped the picture a little just to square it up a bit as the image can't afford to loose many pixels otherwise it's as shot.

This tree, with its stork nest, will shortly cut down beacuse the new owner of the adjacent abandoned farm is afraid that it may fall down on his property.
Human stupidity and cruelty has no limints...
After 2 days of boring skies, I was treated to an awesome sky for the evening and morning of my last day. As I watched the clouds roiled and rolled into some fantastic shapes.
Undulatus asperatus (or alternately, asperatus) is a cloud formation, proposed in 2009 as a separate cloud classification by the founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society. If successful it will be the first cloud formation added since cirrus intortus in 1951 to the International Cloud Atlas of the World Meteorological Organization. The name translates approximately as roughened or agitated waves
These clouds are most closely related to undulatus clouds. Although they appear dark and storm-like, they tend to dissipate without a storm forming. The ominous-looking clouds have been particularly common in the Plains states of the United States, often during the morning or midday hours following convective thunderstorm activity.

Creating some great captures was a cinch. I managed to get to several locations for multiple compositions during the display. I felt so lucky to have bagged this shot because I was supposed to be in Death Valley that day but because of unseen circumstances I was forced to shoot for 3 days in the same location, which is rare for me, I usually try to moved to a new location from day to day. As a result of my immobility I decided to skip all the arches and to focus on finding hidden compositions that maybe nobody else has seen before. :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a Happy Easter weekend my friends :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Mt. Robson is called the Monarch of the Canadian Rockies, and for good reason. Not only is it the highest Canadian peak in the range, at 12,997 feet, but it is a world-class climbing challenge. Mountain climbers admire and respect this mountain. It has earned another name: "The Great White Fright," as only 10% of climbers reach the top.
This is one of the first views of this huge mountain as one approaches from the west on the Yellowhead Highway.
A couple other images in comments for comparison.
Thanks for your visit, comments, faves and suggestions!
Another from Monday's trip out west.
After leaving the Torridon area Steve (Stoates-Findhorn) and I headed for the Applecross Peninsula and stopped for a study of this old croft house.
These old places always make me wish I could have a short trip back in time to see how life was when it was occupied.
El castillo de Alfajarín fue construido en el siglo XI por Aben Alfaje en la atalaya natural de los Montes Blancos, junto a la ermita de la Virgen de la Peña, con el fin de vigilar la ribera del Ebro y proteger Zaragoza.
El acceso era mediante un puente levadizo que estaba flanqueado por dos torres, una de arco apuntado que contenía la puerta de acceso y la otra de gran volumen con detalles góticos y planta cuadrada.
El muro sur ha desaparecido y en el muro norte, mejor conservado, se abre un portillo que lo une a la Torre del Homenaje. En su extremo del este presenta otro torreón pentagonal muy deteriorado.
La Torre del Homenaje, de grandes proporciones, fue construida en el siglo XIV sobre un espolón del muro oeste. Su planta es rectangular de 14 por 10 metros, y su obra de tapial árabe con revestimiento de ladrillo macizo hasta media altura. Sólo conserva dos paredes de gran espesor y el arranque de una tercera.
En el extenso patio interior quedan las ruinas de lo que pudo ser palacio de los Cornel, una serie de paredones y algunas estancias subterráneas abovedadas de gran longitud comunicadas por medio de un pasadizo
