William Watson Lodge in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park (Kananaskis country) offers some stunning mountain views. I stayed up for a few mornings hoping to catch some sunrise colours. The other mornings were pretty dull, but made for good black and white images.
One of the most curvy rallycars out there, here at high speed through the German backroads at Eifel Rallye festival
Springtime, (end of July), well above timberline on the eastern slope of the White Mountains. This is the higher up Sub-Nival division of the Alpine Zone, where mostly grasses, annual wildflowers and this perennial exist. I think it's named the White Mountain Buckwheat, which is in the Eriogonum family of 250 species.
Looking northeast to White Mountain Peak, two thousand feet above me the Peak sits at about 14,000ft, just a few dozen feet lower than Mt. Whitney, 30 miles to the west across the deep Owens Valley.
There is a still existing road to the top built by the navy in the 50's to study high altitude physiology and g-suit technology, as military jet aircraft were flying higher and higher. There is even a stone hut on the peak where study participants could spend the days required for an experiment. I believe the University of California now manages and maintain the resources along the way.
It was on this road that Schulman travelled, later in the 50's, on a quest for ancient trees to create a tree ring record of year to year climate, over the last few thousand years, since the end of the last Ice Age. Some snag remnants have been dated to more then 11,000 years ago and are part of that chronology.
I went back to this shot today since I found using Enfuse wasnt as good as using layer masks in PS. Asgaard pass heading up the center to the left. Canon 14L

Some of the stunning alpine scenery we passed as we drove along the Going-to-the-Sun Road.
Another little flower that's recently come out in my rockery.

The Italian sparrow's behaviour is similar in many ways to that of the house sparrow. It is a social bird, which feeds mostly on seeds and insects. It is mostly sedentary, but it wanders to some extent outside its breeding season. These wanderings are mostly local, but they may extend into southern France. Similarly, the house sparrow sometimes occurs as a winter visitor in northern Italy.
This is a rare 1965 Alpine A110 first series sports car. Although A110s were also built in Spain, Bulgaria, Brazil and Mexico, this particular car was produced by Alpine in its hometown of Dieppe in northern France.
The A110 was bought into the UK in 1984 via the Lenham Motor Company by an enthusiast owner whose car-owning past also included a Formula Junior Cooper T52, an Ausper Formula 3 car and the unique Marina Rolls-Royce sports-racer. A few years later, some extensive recommissioning work was carried out that included an engine rebuild, and the owner would end up keeping the car for well over 20 years.
Having spent time in Alpine Blue, the car is now once again beautifully presented in its original shade of Ivory. EKT674C was seen at the Classic Motor Hub on 14th February 2025.

The bluest skies ever, cool fragrant breezes, and quiet, except for the rustling of leaves and the lapping of mini waves. Heaven on earth.
Alpine. One of the many gems from 1985. This guy had some great acessories and a killer sculpt with a pleasing color pallet. Actually shot this two different ways: once with the grapple gun and once with the automatic pistol. The grapple gun is much visually interesting though and more character-specific.
