In the Beginning by Darren White

"In the Beginning" both in the biblical and literal sense... This old church is the only thing left of a town that once was... I can't find any history on the church as to when it was built.

The image was shot right after I arrived at 7pm on Monday night. Winds were already picking up. I kept looking at my weather apps to see which direction the storm was going (trying to stay safe) and the app was telling me something completely different than what was actually happening. Eventually, this storm turned into a tornado about where the lightning is in this image (I'll post that image later) My plan here was to photograph this old church with the milky way behind it from the other side. That did not happen. I soon realized that if I did not get out of there I was gonna end up like one of the cows in the movie Twister. It's hard to describe properly but as I was trying to escape the wrath of this storm I soon realized I was surrounded with no where to go. Being out on the plains with no shelter I was pretty scared...I was in my car but that wont really protect you from a tornado. Just south of this church sit two old silos and I thought about getting in them but I would have had to leave my car and run about 100 yards with quarter sized hail coming down at incredible speeds... I weighed my options quickly and ended up finding a tree to park under to lessen the damage to the car from the hail. I sat there for about 30 min, called my wife to let her know where I was and what was happening in case I didn't make it. Finally the hail turned to rain, I waited a little longer for the storm to move further away and then I got out of there... it was one of the top 5 scariest times of my life...I felt helpless because mother nature doesn't care who you are and I really didn't have a good solid way of protecting myself when push came to shove...

This image was shot 2 hours before the storm fully developed, this was the fun part of the night that soon turned into a real life horror story. In another image you will see the storm headed right for the church and I am really wondering if it's still standing... If it is, I will be very amazed... So the next morning I visited another old church that is falling apart and while the structure is good the sides are gone and you can see right through it. I decided then that I was going to start taking images of myself standing next to these places because it seems like they are falling down faster and faster....

The beginning of a new day and the holiday weekend. I'm glad I got out early as I was treated to a nice sunrise over the lake.

We've been having some fantastic conditions for our Canyon Colors Workshop! One of the highlights was catching an early season snowfall at Bryce Canyon. The entire sky was filled with clouds except for one little gap on the horizon. The light was mesmerizing as it illuminated the snow and hoodoos with a deep red color. We were all on cloud nine after witnessing such an incredible scene!

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. John 1:1-2.

This is a close-up photo of a light toned pattern on a darker section of a coastal rock that quite improbably just happens to look like a surrealist painting of a person's mouth. The image could be seen as a visual metaphor for the uniquely human capacity for speech, especially in the context of the imagined association of the spoken word having the magical power to cast a spell and summon something into existence. In that context, this image could be seen as a mystical symbol for the ontology of being,

CEFX 1004 and 1012 lead a cut of loaded Tilden pellets through Eagle Mills Junction just as the fall colors were starting to pop. Just a couple miles down the road they were at almost full peak.

These clump of green trees is the new beginning of a forest trying to regenerate itself. That windswept look to them tells a story of struggling to survive the elements. Enjoy a Tree- mendous Tuesday.
