So I went to a "twisted" Alice in Wonderland themed Halloween party dressed as a dark/gothic version of Alice. This costume came with lacy glovettes as well, but I forgot to put them on and only realised it when I got to the party. Silly. And yes I am wearing the white stockings over regular sheer hose, because the dress is kind of short and I was feeling a bit self-conscious, lol.
Its a testament to persistence. I live about 45 minutes from this viewpoint, Jonsrud Viewpoint, near Sandy Oregon. Because this is fairly close, and so cool looking, an image form here has been on my list for a long time. And I go, often. Every time a strikeout. This is the first image I have ever posted from here. I have been there about 6 times, and I finally walked away with an image I liked.
This is a tough spot to shoot. It has great fog in the valley in the morning, but sunrises back-lite Mt. Hood. You can shoot a sunset, but then you don't get the fog. You can see this in many of the mages people post from here. They have fog, and good color in the sky, and then they wash out Hood in the processing and it looks horrible. You just can't get it all when you shoot from here unless you let your tripod sit there all day and shoot both. However, then creeps in the third issue. Clouds. If you live in Portland you know, Hood is a cloud magnet. If you want a sunrise with clouds to catch the color, then you often (99.999 percent of the time) loose Hood in those clouds. If you see Hood, you usually have no clouds. To get hood with clouds around her but not obscuring her, you need patience, and tons of it.
So in this image, I opted for the fog. Clouds came in about 10 minutes after I shot this, but they swallowed Hood. Sigh. Not an easy place to shoot.
The last challenge, the right tripod location. You have to get here early to get the primo tripod spot. Here, I had to show up 1.5 hours before sunrise and wait there, to steak out my spot. When I walked away there was about 12 photographers there. I can't imagine how many there would be if the conditions were even more ideal.
So my hat is off to anyone who got the great trifecta- detail on Hood, colored clouds in the sky and fog in the valley. Its a near impossible feat.

In this autumn afternoon, it was a perfect day to climb to the Roche de Solutré and take some pictures of this magnificent place: the sky was azure without a cloud, a very mild temperature, and the horizon was clear.

Un bon jour pour la Roche de Solutré
En cet après-midi d'automne, c'était un bon jour pour monter à la Roche de Solutré et prendre quelques photos de ce lieu magnifique: le ciel était bleu azur sans un nuage, une température très douce, et l'horizon était clair.

This guy was taking off from Pennington Flash and was struggling to straighten up and looking as though he was caught in a crosswind…Lol

On the Colorado River, outside of Page, AZ. There were lots of people being a bit too careless at the edge of the canyon, but almost everyone was gone by sunset. The sky was amazing once the stars were out; I wish I had more time and had planned some night sky shots.
Elephants are my favorite animals! I went out on a boat along a river in the Okavango Delta and saw this family out having some water after a long walk. This is the time of year that all the animals come to the same location as the water dries up. Did you know that a group of elephants is called a "memory of Elephants"? Great name, eh? Who comes up with these things? Maybe elephants.
