A fence runs through a section of forest in southern Yukon. It marks the boundary between the public land I was standing on and a section of private land beyond. That said, this is the boreal forest and there was little if anything else to distinguish the two. I was exploring on my snowshoes, and had been walking for about an hour when I found this beautiful scene.

While we stayed several nights in this wonderful city, I really wish we could have stayed more. A photographer's dream in that everywhere you point a camera, it's just magic, even beyond this most-iconic vantage in town. Better still, after dark, I felt like we had this bedazzling city to ourselves as everyone vacated. Wanting to return, soon!
Have you ever been to Bled? If you didn't... you absolutely have to! It's an awesome place with a beautiful lake with a small island in the middle.
There also a small hill with a path that you can hike and get a spectacular view... but be sure to be there in advance, as the ascent is quite sharp in some points! :-)

took a bit of waiting around for the right moment when the kids and tourists got out of the way for a better clearer shot of the fountain with a decent reflection especially at 3 in the afternoon....the kids came in batches today though and this was one of those lull moments where you had to be quick and take your shot while the coast was clear...hope you guys like this one....pls.

Clones of Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) and Gambel Oak (Quercus gambelii) intertwine with ribbons of dark spruce and fir, and make a merry cacophony of color near Marble, Colorado. The Crystal River moves diagonally from the lower-left of the frame toward the right, following the path of least resistance on its way to join the Roaring Fork near Carbondale. From this vantage, the view is southwest toward Ragged Mountain, and the north side of the Ragged Wilderness. One of the most ridiculously colorful days in recent memory, made complete with the pleasure of skiving off work, and experiencing it with my family.
Technical notes: Circular polarizer in the field, with colors desaturated slightly in post.
2019-09-02, Day 1
Lake Mary sits on a high shelf above the valley floor and Rock Creek, which is mostly out of view beneath the eroded cliffs. Opposite the lake and up the valley waits the north face of Mount Lockhart (11,644 ft; 3,550 m) with its steep near-vertical couloir, Beartooth Wilderness, Montana.
To look down on Lake Mary from this vantage point, we left the trail at Crow Lake to the north, and found a route south bushwhacking through the forest up the drainage. Mushrooms of the Boletus genus were everywhere, but I didn't recognize the exact species so we did not indulge. Some seemed to be porcini, and perhaps they were, though lighter in color than those I am used to seeing in the Southern Rockies.
Eventually, we emerged into a tumble of talus, sparse trees, and tundra vegetation, and climbed to this pass. The route required slow navigation up a 35˚ slope, with somewhat frequent pausing to breathe. I came to appreciate how much work trail builders do when it comes to keeping one's ankles straight during the ascent. Interestingly, we saw not a single person the entire first day of the adventure.
The forest on the left of the frame looks somewhat scrubby from this vantage, but when we entered we discovered ancient Limber Pines (Pinus flexilis) and an almost park-like open understory with deep soft duff and wizened, twisted individuals surrounding us. It was most enjoyable walking on the springy duff after spending a good deal of time on talus, always wondering whether the rocks might roll on the next step.
The French Creek winds its way through the Black Hills Grasslands and the tall Ponderosa Pines in Custer State Park, South Dakota.
Steamboat Rock (center and slightly more distant formation) and The Acropolis (taller and slightly right of center) as seen from the first bench of Wilson Mountain, near Sedona, Arizona.
Following my first and only visit so far to Sedona, it strikes me that the place name fails to convey the magnitude of the logistical challenges that one will face going to and fro amongst the red rocks and vortices and the establishments in town. I suspect that the locals may have their own set of frustrations with folks like myself who turn up from elsewhere to clog the streets.
We thought that the Wilson Mountain trail might be somewhat less popular than other locations in Sedona due to it being relatively steep, somewhat out of town, and lacking a vortex. Upon arriving at the trailhead, the small, cramped lot was full and there was a veritable phalanx of “No Parking” signs along the main road near the turn-off. Being somewhat mule-headed, I found a spot that looked safe enough to pull off about a half mile down the road where the preventative signage was blessedly lacking. However, this choice then necessitated walking along a road with no shoulder and fast traffic for a half mile with two dogs who could not quite comprehend why we were forcing them to negotiate the thorny bushes rather than walk in the road. Nonetheless, after clearing these hurdles the temperatures were delightful and the views sublime.
As we ascended the shoulder of Wilson Mountain, a close inspection of the numerous Opuntia patches revealed something curious. On some of the cacti, a number of pads appeared to have been eaten from around the margins. I have read that Desert Tortoises may consume Opuntia like this and my perusal of range maps suggests they may live in this part of Arizona at these elevations. Given that these Tortoises spend most of their time underground, it was not all that surprising that we failed to see any of them in action.
This is one of my favorite corners on the Atlin Road as it affords the traveler such a spectacular view. Over the years, I have marveled at the beauty in this place, but I have seldom stopped. It is a dangerous spot to halt a vehicle as the southern approach is almost blind, both sides are characterized by hills and corners, and northern drivers are used to narrow roads making 90+ km/h normal even here. All that said, on this day I was quite early so there were no other vehicles on the road, and I managed to pull over into a little hollow making it reasonably safe for everyone. With a circular polarizing filter attached to my lens, I was able to capture a taste of the spectacle that nature offered.

I took a lot of shots from my Mono Lake winter trip, so I'm posting a couple more perspectives because, well, I'm sorting through slides and I didn't take many new trips this summer so I don't have a lot of different stuff to upload! So there. The lake looks very calm but by the time I paddled to the other side the wind had the lake in a frenzy. The sun played peek-a-boo and I caught this shot as it peeked, but I caught some lens flare that I should probably Photoshop out, but I don't Photoshop very well.

With the first day of October upon us, so many trees are well on their way to losing their leaves. How does the time pass so quickly?
Another view from last Saturday's jaunt down the Northumberland coast with Kevin Wallace. This time it's a view of Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland from the North and the beach infamous for claiming many a photographer's equipment and pride - these are some of the most treacherous rocks on the planet to walk across.
The shot was taken into the early afternoon light - far from ideal -
which has rendered the tower as a silhouette to avoid blowing out the sky.
The famous Lake Laberge in Southern Yukon. If you haven't heard of Lake Laberge, look up the poet, Robert Service. He wrote a poem called, The Cremation of Sam McGee which features Lake Laberge on a cold winter's night. It's a beautiful and wild place, but it is often windswept and dangerous for boaters and paddlers. I've walked across this lake in winter when the surface is two feet of solid ice, and even then the wind is often a feature--very warm clothes are a necessity.
On this occasion on the second day of October, I met a couple, Hélène and Alex, who had arrived for a night camp. They were tourists from Martinique, a warm Caribbean island where Alex runs a tour boat operation. We stood and talked for a half hour about the Yukon wilderness, and also about the warm Caribbean with its sea turtles, sharks, sperm whales, rays, and more. I've never been to a warm country in my entire life, and fighting the frigid wind off Lake Laberge, I couldn't help but feel the draw of those warm Caribbean waters that Alex and Hélène were describing.
I photographed this on a rather brisk day in October of 2022. The wind was blowing relatively hard and definitely cold. I used the Olympus OM-D E-M1 mounted on a short tripod with a circular polarizing filter and an ND1000 (10 Stop) filter to increase exposure time. ISO was locked in at 200, and aperture was set to f/8.0 for maximum depth of field without incurring diffraction softness. The exposure here was 5 seconds, enough to smooth the lake's surface somewhat without losing all detail. Post processing and raw conversion were performed in my favourite raw software, DxO PhotoLab 5.5.x. I used Adobe Lightroom to catalogue and upload to Flickr.
me and my wife really had a blast exploring Oak Creek in Red Rocks Crossing in Sedona, Arizona....the creek offered so many beautiful views of the red rock formations and one could find several spots along the creek where people were having fun swimming in the shallow pools.....the very next day, we both hiked up almost to the top of this rock formation here called Castle Rock.....i will post the photos taken from up this rock formation later......pls.

Don't you just love a reflection shot?! I've passed this reservoir a number of times before and I've always driven straight on by, dismissing it completely but this day, with the snow, I couldn't resist.

A little bit of winter in July! This stunning snowy landscape was captured by photographer Daniel Tremblay in the Canadian Rockies with a Canon 5DSr, a Canon EF 11-24mm f4.0 lens and our WonderPana XL Circular Polarizer filter. Daniel used the WonderPana CPL filter to remove reflections on the water's surface, revealing the beautiful rocks beneath.

This is my second year cruising by Colby Farm for the sunflowers. I waited until I saw posts of the sunflower fields on Instagram to pay a visit. The conditions were looking perfect this morning driving north on I-95, so I took the exit for Scotland Road to check out the field. There were tons of people there for 7am on a Tuesday morning, which I really didn't expect. It's quite the photographers attraction apparently, lot of telephoto lenses and step ladders up in that joint. I thought it was really cool to see the sunflowers turn to face the rising sun, and this frame sort of captures that transformation.

Riu du Juclar, about a metre upstream from where it joins Riu del Sisqueró and becomes collectively Riu d'Incles. I Ioved these rivers, particularly the wildflowers growing along the banks. I imagine it was even better earlier in the spring time. This area was great for frogs.
I have combined a focus stack with AuroraHDR. I did start aiming for a manual blend, but the sky was giving me issues, so I was discouraged and resorted to an automated approach. Ironically this didn't work much better so I ultimately ended up cropping the problematic part of the sky out.

After all the rain fall recently, the waterfalls in the Brecon Beacon national park are well and truly gushing. Can't wait to come back here in the spring when its not such a raging torrent and I might have more rock to stand on so I can compose my shot better :)
