Anyone who has hiked to Devil's Bridge in Sedona, Arizona knows that this image is something of a feat. The Bridge is one of the most popular hikes in Sedona and typically very crowded (as it was this day).
The 5' wide, 45' long and 54' high sandstone arch (created by wind and weather erosion vice flowing water, which creates natural bridges) is the tallest in the Sedona region. The trail is not particularly strenuous, but it does start at 4400' and climb to 4900'. Parking near the trailhead is often jammed, and the road is really suitable only for 4WD vehicles. We hiked the Mescal and Chuckwagon Trails to the trailhead and enjoyed a spectacular spring day.
After a rather rough 90 mins on the very bumpy ferry ride we disembarked on mainland Australia at the little town of Seisia and this beautiful calm beach. Many of the passengers (sitting outside) on the ferry were soaking wet as the waves came over the boat on the run into Seisia due to the winds and channel orientation!
Chasing the Bessemer usually ain't that hard if one step's on it a bit but I wouldn't recommend chasing in these weather conditions. After sliding thru a stop sign sideways & getting stuck behind people driving more sensible than me, this shot was had at Pennside with about 20 seconds to spare.

“In a world of big things, there are few as striking and as monumental as the Stockton Bight Sand Dunes in the Worimi Conservation Lands in Port Stephens.
From fun adventure to ancient heritage, the Worimi Conservation Lands at Anna Bay and Williamtown offer amazing experiences.
The beautiful sandscape is forever changing. Created thousands of years ago, the largest moving coastal dunes in the Southern Hemisphere are spectacular. The Stockton Bight Sand Dunes, in the Worimi Conservation Lands, cover 4,200 hectares, 1,800 of which are forest, as well as 32kms of the longest moving sand dunes in the southern hemisphere. These truly awe-inspiring dunes reach heights of over 30 metres with slopes of up to 60 degrees to form a majestic landscape are ideal for sand-boarding, an exciting activity all year.
There are various 4WD, quad biking and sand-boarding tours. Or saddle up on a horse or on a camel and discover the extraordinary natural beauty. Take a fishing rod - the beach fishing is excellent.
Explore the giant Stockton Bight sand dunes and enjoy four-wheel driving along NSW’s longest beach (with a permit). Beach and dune driving in your own 4WD is popular way to enjoy the area at your own pace. You’ll need to buy a special beach permit before steering your way onto the sandy stretch.”

This is my new car, a Nissan R51 Pathfinder Ti. I can now drive onto all the beaches with 4WD access, so I can get my surfboard that little bit closer to the water...
Im busy gearing up now... I want to be able to set up on a beach with a shelter, chairs and table, BBQ and of course, a fridge to keep the beer cold! Im about half way there now...

A small oasis we camped at in the Great Sand Sea near the Egyptian / Libyan boarder. The Great Sand Sea is a subset of the Sahara that covers a remote 72,000 km² (27,800 square miles) sand desert region in North Africa stretching between western Egypt and eastern Libya. Hard to say exactly where the shot was taken as it was after a full day offroad in a 4WD across the dunes from the larger oasis town of Siwa, which is about 50 km (30 mi) east of the Libyan border. The mountains are actually old coral reefs stranded in an empty ocean of sand; after hiking up them you could still see the coral heads intact. We camped here for a night; if you look closely you can see the small yellow tents to the right of the oasis. This is an old film shot; this whole area is now off limits due to security issues in Libya and trafficking across the border.

Leura, Blue Mountains,
New South Wales, Australia.
Elevation: 985m
Population: 4,400 approx.
The village of Leura is one of the most popular attractions in the Blue Mountains.
On the weekends it’s a regular getaway for Sydneysiders & Leura Mall is packed with luxury cars & 4WD’s.
The numerous tourist buses add to the hustle & bustle with tourists visiting the cafes & boutique shops.
Just a short trip south of Leura down Cliff Drive is a completely different world, away from the shops & the crowds.
The natural world of rainforests with ancient trees, waterfalls & cascades, wildflowers, orchids & fungi.
The forests around Leura are abundant with wildlife - here the only noises you’ll hear are the sound of birds,
the rustle of the wind in the trees and the sound of cascading water.
This area is a mecca for bushwalkers, birdwatchers & photographers.
Leura Cascades.
A short walk from the car park brings you to one of the most popular & photographed landmarks in the Blue Mountains.
The cascades run for a few hundred metres. Near the car park you’ll also find the upper Leura cascades.
Bridal Veil Falls.
The end of the cascades brings you to the top of the escarpment with stunning views across the Jamison Valley to Mount Solitary.
Here is the first glimpse of Bridal Veil Falls. A steep descent via some metal ladders takes you to the base of the falls.
Bridal Veil falls are not easy to photograph due to their large scale & close proximity of the vantage point below them.
Either a very wide-angle lens is required or shooting a multi- level panorama.
It’s more easier to document smaller sections of the waterfall.
Leura Weeping Rock.
Slightly below Bridal Veil is one of the hidden gems of the Blue Mountains - Leura’s Weeping Rock.
Though the falls are quite small they are quite picturesque & the area is quite atmospheric.
The area below this point is recommended for experienced walkers only!
Beyond Weeping Rock if you traverse to the right you will pass a large amphitheatre, before arriving at the lovely Fern Bower.
Turn left & towards the lower section of Fern Bower, you will find Lila Falls, Linda Falls, then further down - Margeurite Cascades.
Downstream from Weeping Rock, Leura Falls can be visited along with Adelina Cascades directly below the falls.
Below the cascades is Leura Forest - one of the most beautiful spots in the area with a Lord of the Rings-like charm.
This area can be accessed via the Fern Bower track or more directly downstream from Weeping Rock via a high metal ladder.
Caution must be taken if using this ladder as its dangerous, especially if you are carrying camera gear & a tripod.
Extended bushwalks - some ideas for further exploration for the fit & experienced:
Leura - Katoomba.
From the base of the escarpment, near Leura forest, are two tracks that take you to Katoomba (and beyond).
The Federal Pass or the Dardenelles Pass wind their way along the base of the cliffs and eventually form one route.
The Federal Pass track can be followed as far as even Mt Solitary or the Ruined Castle.
Exit points could be the Grand Stairway or the Scenic Railway or even the Golden Stairs at Narrow Neck.
Leura - Wentworth Falls.
At the base of Leura Falls is the legendary Lindeman Pass track which will bring you to near The Valley of the Waters at Wentworth falls area.
This is not really a track, but a negotiable route & is not sign-posted & is quite rough - some scrambling & route-finding involved.
Exit points include Gladstone Pass or Roberts Pass (both require exposed scrambling).
Allow for a full day to get to Valley of the Waters.
Do not attempt this route unless you have experience with off-track walking & rugged terrain!
Leura - Kings Tableland - Wentworth Falls.
It is possible to follow an old route that was used by workers to get to the decommissioned Sewerage plant at Leura.
This is a fairly long walk to the Kedumba Valley near Mount Solitary, followed by a steep climb up Kedumba Pass to the top of Kings Tableland.
From the top of Kings Tableland there is a fire trail that will take you back towards the Wentworth Falls area.
The 2nd half of the walk across the plateau can be done on walking tracks including the Charles Darwin walk.
Enjoy!
We took Murphy to Algonquin Park last weekend,,,,After a drive up in a snow storm the next day was beautiful with all the fresh snow...as you can see he loved it!
Badlands along the Hartnet Cathedral 4WD road right outside of the Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. The Hartnet Cathedral road leeds into the beautiful Cathedral Valley which is part of the Capitol Reef National Park.
Forty miles of bad road...
Zen Koan: “Muddy Road” Parable:
Tanzan and Ekido were once traveling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling.
Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.
“Come on, girl” said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.
Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he no longer could restrain himself. “We monks don’t go near females,” he told Tanzan, “especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?”
“I left the girl there,” said Tanzan. “Are you still carrying her?”
