My fotostream on flickr is dominated by black and white fine-art photography. I will now upload exemplary images from my ongoing project "Rural Areas". In this project I systematically study the creative possibilities of a minimalistic approach. More images from the project can be found on our webpage: www.bernd-gundula-walz.de/index.php/portfolio-bernd/laend...

Visited what I would consider to be the most beautiful conservation area I've ever been to in Southern Ontario. If you're willing to trek up the rather steep slopes to the top of the limestone escarpment, you are treated to this magnificent view of the Eramosa River and surrounding countryside. Reminds me very much of Georgian Bay.
Thank you, my kind Flickr friends, for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!

From a high overlook and view down upon the River Styx while walking the Green River Bluffs Trail and the many other network of trails to the west of the Visitor Center in Mammoth Cave National Park. While not planned, I love the way the nearby trees added a framing of sorts to the river flowing by. While I could have kept all the nearby in silhouette originally captured, I used some control points in Capture NX2 to bring out some of the shadows but not enough to distract from the view of the river and leaves down in that open area.
The silhouetted Manna Gums (Eucalyptus viminalis) rise above the morning mists...this area of Central Victoria (Australia) is known as "Drummond"...no actual town as such, but does have an Avenue of Honour (Elms) that are dedicated to the soldiers of this local community that died in World War 1...Cheers from Oz
I enjoyed an amusement park of the third son and the evening on that day. As for his purpose, a dwarf, my purpose are these.
This is often used as a unit of area. How many Tokyo Dome is size of your dream?

この日は三男と夕方の遊園地を楽しみました。 彼の目的はこびと、僕の目的はこれです。
これはしばしば広さの単位として用いられます。 貴方の夢の大きさは東京ドーム何個分ですか？

A slow work, as I'm folding well beyond my depth.
From a square -- if you slice a tetrahedron across the midpoints of its triangle faces, you get a square cross-section. Oddly, this only works if you're using a katana.
Condor Viewing Area
Vermilion Cliffs National Monument
Arizona
March 2025
The Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona serves as a critical site for the reintroduction of the endangered California condor. Since 1996, The Peregrine Fund, in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and other partners, has been releasing captive-bred condors into the wild from this location.
The Condor Viewing Site is situated along House Rock Valley Road (BLM 1065), approximately 3 miles north of Highway 89A or about 27 miles south of Highway 89.
(221/365) This picturesque picnic area is sited alongside the River Feale where the counties Cork, Kerry & Limerick meet. The sign to the right with the harp & shamrock says "Fáilte" which means Welcome in Irish. I'll be posting a photo of the small sign on the post in due course, so many unnecessary apostrophes you won't get your breath. HBM!
These trucks stayed a little longer!
South Canol Road Yukon Territory
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canol_Road
The Canol Road was part of a project to build the Canol pipeline and a road from Norman Wells, Northwest Territories, to Whitehorse, Yukon, during World War II. The pipeline no longer exists, but the 449 kilometres (279 mi) long Yukon portion of the road is maintained by the Yukon Government during summer months. The portion of the road that still exists in the NWT is called the Canol Heritage Trail. Both road and trail are incorporated into the Trans-Canada Trail.

The rock formations in this area have fascinated me. I've been intending to stop here on one of the trips.
Sunday when Mike and I stopped at the west bound area the weather was cloudy/rainy and we were on the wrong side of the interstate. This past Tuesday on my way back to ABQ I stopped at the east bound area which is closer to some of the formations.
I only stopped for a few minutes and used the infrared as it was already later morning. Think of it as a recon more than a photo shoot.
The rest area is between exits 318 and 322 along I-10. The town of Dragoon is nearby. There is also a Dragoon Mtn and a Dragoon Pass nearby.
I'm hoping someday to get back there to explore more and hopefully hit it at a better time of day.
The name of the rest area is Texas Canyon Rest Area. There is a plaque at the area which reports that in 1872 near Dragoon Springs, about 4 miles south at Council Rocks, a treaty was signed with Cochise, leader of the Chiricahua Apache. The Apaches had waged war from and eluded capture in the Dragoon Mountains.
I'm amazed how many areas at Red Rocks are now closed. The area I took this, you used to be able to get close to the rocks and climb around on the formations, but due to the mass movement of people wanting to live here, the state has been closing many areas down to the public. I don't mind people moving here but PLEASE RESPECT these amazing places that make our state so great to live in. If I see another rock or tree with graffiti on it I just might loose my shit!

The reflection of the full moon on the water always is so beautiful. This was taken from my window and difficult to capture in one shot. A cargo ship with its lights on can be seen in the distant shoreline of an area called Kitsilano, an area of Vancouver, BC. At this point clouds were starting to go across the moon, preventing a clear image.

I had to post this sign because I love both the actual sign and the innocence of the idea of it. But it is an anachronism.
In the past few years, there have been few or no Great Grays here. Indeed, yesterday I saw 4 Great Grays in my outing but none here. Additionally, organizations like The Cornell Lab's Ebird have been successfully lobbied to fudge its reported Great Gray Owl sighting locations to impede excessive visitation.
