On Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. It's awesome and a bit scary to be up in the clouds so to speak and watching a storm approach with accompanying thunderings. Have a great weekend everyone!
There are wildlife encounters, and then there are moments like this one. A Great Grey Owl fills the entire frame in a breathtaking head-on approach, its massive wingspan spread wide against a stunning backdrop of boreal forest and distant mountain peaks. At nearly 1.5 metres from wingtip to wingtip, the sheer scale of this magnificent bird is fully on display here, every barred feather illuminated by bright daylight in extraordinary detail.
What strikes the viewer immediately is that single piercing yellow eye, fixed with absolute and unwavering intensity directly down the lens. This is a bird that commands complete attention and knows it. The Great Grey Owl is the world's largest owl by length, a silent and formidable hunter of the northern boreal forests, and yet there is something almost mythical about its presence, earning it the well deserved nickname "Phantom of the North."
The rising sun tries in vain to break through the clouds as St. Maries River Railroad’s turn to Plummer rolls over arcing track through Shepherd Road grade crossing on September 27, 2021. The Geeps cant into a curve that once hosted time freights and Hiawathas from the Milwaukee Road.

One last photo from the amazing frosty Sunday morning I enjoyed so much! As I was looking around, I noticed a cloud bank coming in from the northwest.
That eventually clouded over and included a low fog layer by noon.
This time of year, a beautiful frost, pristine blue and sunshine is an event! This was followed by 5 plus days of dark cloudy skies!

night arrives
unannounced
in a black limo
a silent presence
who follows you
into your room
closes the door
points to the book
of days on your desk
dark finger a shadow
across your past
which disappears
with each turning
of the page until
there are no more
leaves to fall, no
birds to sing
your faint praises
only this moment
and maybe
mercifully
the next

Waiting for sunset on our first night on Lord Howe Island.
The lagoon on the western side of the island is so tranquil and this rock formation makes a wonderful feature in the foreground as the sun sets.

Kinkaku-ji "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"), officially named Rokuon-ji, lit. "Deer Garden Temple"), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.
The garden complex is an excellent example of Muromachi period garden design. The Muromachi period is considered to be a classical age of Japanese garden design. The correlation between buildings and its settings were greatly emphasized during this period. It was a way to integrate the structure within the landscape in an artistic way. The garden designs were characterized by a reduction in scale, a more central purpose, and a distinct setting.
A minimalistic approach was brought to the garden design, by recreating larger landscapes in a smaller scale around a structure.
It is designated as a National Special Historic Site and a National Special Landscape, and it is one of 17 locations comprising the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto World Heritage Site. It is also one of the most popular buildings in Japan, attracting a large number of visitors annually.

Went for a walk on the way home today and a walk over the moors, sky was nice and blue and thought there'd be a good sunset. However the snow clouds moved in behind and soon i could hardly see anything. I shot this before the snow covered the sun but thought it worked well.
Festively decorated chancel of St. Ludwig, Munich. The romanesque church was built between 1829 and 1844 and has the second largest altarpiece fresco in the world.
I captured this on a very dull day with little light inside the church but ugly haze coming in through the windows, so I had a hard time to get something reasonably usable from post-processing. To top it all off, the shadow of an inattentive photographer disturbs the scene 😄

Zoom in to enjoy the beautiful details including the super-defined starbursts on the Christmas trees (thanks to my beloved Laowa lens) 😊
Wishing you a peaceful merry Christmas 🎄✨🎅
