Virginia Creeper climbing a branch in the forest as the sun sets.

Virginia Creeper is often mistaken for poison ivy, possibly because they both have green leaves, and are located in woody areas. But poison ivy always has 3 leaves, where Virginia Creeper has 5...but sometimes 4 or even 3 at the end of the vine, as shown here. PI also has shiny leaves, where VC does not.

VC grows on a climbing vine and turns a brilliant red in the fall, deepening to a purplish as the season progresses. I enjoy seeing it wrap around tree trunks and branches, adding eye catching vines of autumn color to the forests.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday, and hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend :-)

The walkers at the base of the Canyon gives scale to the image

The rainfall deepens the colour of the rocks

These rocky structures are called hoodoos

Wast Water or Wastwater (/ˈwɒst wɔːtər/) is a lake located in Wasdale, a valley in the western part of the Lake District National Park, England. The lake is almost 3 miles (4.8 km) long and more than one-third mile (500 m) wide. It is a glacial lake, formed in a glacially 'over-deepened' valley. It is the deepest lake in England at 258 feet (79 m). The surface of the lake is about 200 feet (60 m) above sea level, while its bottom is over 50 feet (15 m) below sea level.

Antelope Canyon was formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone due to flash flooding and other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways eroded away, deepening the corridors and smoothing hard edges to form characteristic "flowing" shapes.

The fellow in the picture is literally waking on water (frozen water), and over water (liquid water beneath the layer of ice.) The water is fairly shallow for 30-40 yards (27-37 m) out from the shore at this point, but deepens quickly after that.

First tiny Wood Anemone of the year. Due to where it was sat that was the only angle I could get on it. I haven't touched that beautiful blue at all, though it is probably slightly deepened by the metering and a 1/3 underexpose.

Blue is the best colour for me for some reason, though I often see pink as blue, everything else is just washed out grey haze in real life, but better on the computer screen where the colours tend to come to life more.

Another glorious sky as evening falls - time to head home.

"Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens;

Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O, abide with me...

~ Henry Francis Lyte

I loved how the marsh water deepened the blue color as a backdrop for the tree reflections.

Always its shadows are insensibly altering, disappearing here, appearing there...

And just after sunset the reds deepen to dim purples and the grays and yellows and greens change to magical blues. In the dark of a moonless night the canyon suggests unimaginable mysteries :-)

Wastwater is a lake located in Wasdale, a valley in the western part of the Lake District National Park, England. The lake is almost 3 miles (4.8 km) long and more than one-third mile (540 m) wide. It is the deepest lake in England at 258 feet (79 m), and is owned by the National Trust. It is one of the finest examples of a glacially 'over-deepened' valley. The surface of the lake is about 200 feet above sea level, while its bottom is over 50 feet below sea level.

The head of the Wasdale Valley is surrounded by some of the highest mountains in England, including Scafell Pike, Great Gable and Lingmell. The steep slopes on the southeastern side of the lake, leading up to the summits of Whin Rigg and Illgill Head, are known as the "Wastwater Screes" or on some maps as "The Screes". These screes formed as a result of ice and weathering erosion on the rocks of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, that form the fells to the east of the lake, towards Eskdale. They are approximately 2,000 feet, from top to base, the base being about 200 feet below the surface of the lake.

While searching for wildlife at a local park, I looked up upon hearing an airplane… and decided I couldn’t resist shooting this “Bird of another Color”

(600mm + TC 1.4 @ 560mm, 1/1250 @ f/11, ISO 250)

From Google:

Travel Air 89K was manufactured by the Travel Air Manufacturing Co. in Wichita, Kansas in September, 1929. The factory produced 17 model 4-D’s before stopping production a few months later as the depression deepened. This is the only original Model 4-D still flying in the world today and won Grand Champion in Pasa Robles just this year.

The Model 4-D is similar to the earlier Model B-4000, but the 4-D has a very reliable seven-cylinder J6 235 hp Wright engine as well as “outrigger” gear with pneumatic struts, providing gentle and forgiving landings for the pilot.

Bruce McElhoe the owner/pilot says, “For five years my world comprised wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, skinned knuckles, paint, and all the things one does to bring an old airplane back to life.” The airplane is a joy to fly, and is truly the most wondrous of all man’s wondrous creations.

♪ Loreena McKennitt - Snow (Live) ♪

White are the far-off hills

And white the fading forests grow

The wind dies out amongst the tides

And denser still the snow

A gathering weight on roof and tree

Falls down scarce audibly

The meadows and far-sheeted streams

Lie still without a sound

Like some soft minister of dreams

The snowfall hoods me around

In wood and water, earth and air

A silence is everywhere

Save when at lonely spells

Some farmer's sleigh is urged on

With rustling runner and sharp bells

Swings by me and is gone

Or from the empty waste I hear

A sound remote and clear

The barking of a dog

To cattle, is sharply pued

Borne, echoing from some wayside stall

Or barnyard far afield

Then all is silent and the snow

Falls settling soft and slow

The evening deepens and the grey

Folds closer around sky

The world seems so shrouded, so far away

Its noises sleep, and I

As secret as yon buried stream

Plod dumbly on and dream

I dream.....

* I cannot believe it's twelve years ago since I last visited Wast Water. Its on the Western side of the lake district and is much less busy that Windermere and Coniston . I guess I have not seen everywhere in England yet but from what I have seen the view towards Wasdale Head along Wast Water is the finest view in England . The view takes in the lake with the mountains of Yewbarrow, Great Gable and Scafell Pike in the distance

I admit I raised the saturation a bit and went heavy on the contrast, usually most photographers do so with Monochrome renders but sometimes you can take a risk with colours. The tree line along the canal parallel to Kaiser-August-Allee looks amazing at the moment, which is where I took this. Blossoms, early flowers and the such like are really now starting to come out.

I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

For Equilibrium: A Blessing

Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore,

May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul.

As the wind loves to call things to dance,

May your gravity be lightened by grace.

As water takes whatever shape it is in,

So free may you be about who you become.

As silence smiles on the other side of what's said,

May your sense of irony bring perspective.

May your prayer of listening deepen enough

to hear in the depths the laughter of God.

Interior landscape in Iceland's North. We left the coastline and cut through these plains in order to travel from the Northern coast near Bloenduos to Holmavik in the remote Westfjords. While I truly love coastal landscapes I confess that these barren vistas of ancient lava fields, bog grass and apparently never ending snow-capped mountain ranges really get to me. Seeing them has deepened my comprehension of what kind of toughness Icelanders own in order to make a living there and they have all my admiration for it.

Groynes, breakwaters and artificial reefs

A groyne is a shore protection structure built perpendicular to the shoreline of the coast (or river), over the beach and into the shoreface (the area between the nearshore region and the inner continental shelf), to reduce longshore drift and trap sediments. A groyne field or system is a series of groynes acting together to protect a beach. Rock is often used as construction material, but wooden groynes, steel groynes, rubble-mound and sand-filled bag groynes, or groynes made of concrete elements can also be found.

Groynes trap sediments from longshore drift so that the coast behind the sand layer is protected from erosion. Their effectiveness depends on their extension into the river or sea. As any other systems acting on the long-shore drift, they can negatively affect the transportation and sedimentation pattern of underflow areas, causing downdrift erosion. Other adverse effects (especially for rivers) can be an increase in current velocity in the constricted flow area, with increasing bed erosion and a deepening of the bed level. Groynes can also be used in estuaries to decrease tidal flow velocities at the shoreline. Rock groynes can be more effective in this case, as wooden groynes tend to reflect energy rather that absorb it. This depends on the type of wooden structures; in general screens are less effective.

To build groynes, breakwaters and reefs, rock size, face slopes, crest elevation and crest width and toe protections and aprons should be designed according to the natural characteristics of the sites as these factors have an important impact on the shoreline. Sand may build up behind breakwaters and artificial reefs to form salients. Sand can accumulate enough to connect with the breakwater and form a tombolo (a stretch of sand developed by wave refraction, diffraction and longshore drift forming a ‘neck’ connecting the structure to the shore). Considering the significant impact these structures have on the coastal environment, they should only be considered as part of a global adaptive management policy, taking into account the characteristics of the specific site and the potential effects on the whole coast. The construction of groynes and breakwaters could also be linked to a beach nourishment programme, and groynes and breakwaters can be used in a protected beach nourishment approach.

I never ordinarily do this, but I noticed the original version of this was NOT doing very well, I asked my partner, who doubles as my creative advisor (one artist to another) who pointed out how bland it looked, then it hit me. In my rush to get it posted I had more or less ignored the post processing and had ignored the potential beauty that was waiting to be discovered. So when I had a second look and brought up the colours the truth was revealed.

All I did in the end was enhance the saturation and deepen the contrast a touch but voila, whole new photo. I think this version is way better!

Again I hope everyone is well, have a great weekend and so as always, thank you! :)

This shot consists of two iPhone 6 captures stitched together then slightly cropped. The intense color of these clouds only lasted for a minute or two just before sunrise, then quickly faded back to "normal" as abruptly as they'd been illuminated.

Surprisingly, and although it may appear so, I did not adjust the color or saturation of the clouds at all. I do, however, believe the stitching process may have very mildly deepened the blues of the sky. And, I intentionally darkened the foreground a bit so that the trees were better silhouetted.

**Not the best composition ever, but it was too cool not to attempt capturing and sharing.**

Shot was taken in Oconee County, South Carolina, USA, looking east-southeast. Sun is rising at lower left.

The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa,[2] Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la, Navajo: Bidááʼ Haʼaztʼiʼ Tsékooh,[3][4] Spanish: Gran Cañón) is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters).[5]

The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the preservation of the Grand Canyon area and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.

Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted.[6] While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists,[7] several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago.[1][8][9] Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.

For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it.[10] The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.[11]

A woman finds herself on a weathered bench beside a stoic lighthouse. The sky above is ablaze with the fury of an approaching storm, with dark clouds swirling ominously. The sea mirrors the tempestuous scene, its surface disturbed by the impending chaos. With a sense of hopeful anticipation mixed with melancholic yearning, the woman sits alone, her eyes fixed upon the distant horizon. The reflections of the brooding clouds dance upon the restless waters, as if reflecting her own emotions. Each passing moment deepens her longing, yet she remains steadfast in her vigil, her unwavering gaze a testament to her enduring love.

Wave approach angles conditioned by wind flows and tidal currents produces scallop sculpting along beaches at the sea edge … where the cusps are small to high up on the beach.

All night my heart makes its way

however it can over the rough ground

of uncertainties, but only until night

meets and then is overwhelmed by

morning, the light deepening, the

wind easing and just waiting, as I

too wait (and when have I ever been

disappointed?) for redbird to sing.

Thank you so much for your advice on tripods. After replacing a lost component and giving it a clean, my Manfrotto is good to go again.

I've not exactly sold it but if any one wants a 3LT with a ball head, let me know. It just wasn't height compatible for me (5ft 5), it would suit a taller person. And it seemed like a bit of style over substance.

But its very lightweight, would work well with an L Bracket. Might be good as a spare travel tripod and willing to do "a try before you buy"

This ship sucks sand from riverbeds and the sea bottom - a very precise way to deepen harbors and waterways. It can unload the sand into cargo ships, or spit the sand out - through the air - at a considerable distance, creating new banks and isles.

The name of the vessel refers to the Dutch founder of the Netherlands. It was recently built, but already worked all over the world. For fuel, it uses environmentally friendly cooking oil.

Wast Water in the Lake District is the deepest lake in England. Its maximum depth is 258ft (79m). At that depth, the bottom is more than 50ft below sea level. The valley that Wast Water is located in is an excellent example of a glacially 'over-deepened' valley.

The steep scree slopes that lead up to the summits of Whin Rigg and Illgill Head are known as the "Wast Water Screes". These screes formed as a result of ice and weathering erosion of volcanic rocks. They are approximately 2,000ft, from top to base, the base being about 200ft below the surface of the lake. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wast_Water

Such a beautiful sunny day is unusual in the Lake District.

The Dusk of Horses

James Dickey - 1923-1997

Right under their noses, the green

Of the field is paling away

Because of something fallen from the sky.

They see this, and put down

Their long heads deeper in grass

That only just escapes reflecting them

As the dream of a millpond would.

The color green flees over the grass

Like an insect, following the red sun over

The next hill. The grass is white.

There is no cloud so dark and white at once;

There is no pool at dawn that deepens

Their faces and thirsts as this does.

Now they are feeding on solid

Cloud, and, one by one,

With nails as silent as stars among the wood

Hewed down years ago and now rotten,

The stalls are put up around them.

Now if they lean, they come

On wood on any side. Not touching it, they sleep.

No beast ever lived who understood

What happened among the sun's fields,

Or cared why the color of grass

Fled over the hill while he stumbled,

Led by the halter to sleep

On his four taxed, worthy legs.

Each thinks he awakens where

The sun is black on the rooftop,

That the green is dancing in the next pasture,

And that the way to sleep

In a cloud, or in a risen lake,

Is to walk as though he were still

in the drained field standing, head down,

To pretend to sleep when led,

And thus to go under the ancient white

Of the meadow, as green goes

And whiteness comes up through his face

Holding stars and rotten rafters,

Quiet, fragrant, and relieved.

Pleased to scratch off another waterfall at the top of my bucket list. Upper Mesa Falls is the 2nd most impressive large waterfall in Idaho, IMHO. Shoshone Falls is considerably larger.

Was a wet, rainy day so wasn't able to get a rainbow in the spray. Darn.

"Upper Mesa Falls was formed when Henry's Fork cut its canyon deep enough to encounter an especially resistant layer of hard volcanic rock. As the canyon deepened downstream, a ledge formed overwhich the river flowed. Because the layers beneath the resistant one are softer, the falling water undercut the ledge above, eventually causing pieces of the harder rock to break away. This creates the sharp lip and spectacular drop of the waterfall you see today.

Upper Mesa Falls is approximately 114 feet / 35 meters high and 300 feet / 91 meters wide. The average volume of water flowing over the falls varies between 600 to 1,500 cubic feet per second. This equates to 387 million to 967 million gallons of water per day." yellowstone.co

Thanks for your visit! Always appreciated!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

The world of shadows allows us to deepen into fantasy and let all the creativity of our imagination fly. Shapes and figures are projected onto other planes and acquire an unexpected role and personality that leads us to forget the true origin of the projection. The geometric transformation that light applies to objects deforms and twists the result, dramatically altering the relationship between them.

One hot June day, walking through Pastrana, a beautiful village of ​​Guadalajara in Spain, I was surprised by this image when the sun was still close to its zenith and I was captivated by the accentuated deformation produced by the shadow of the electric wire. Of Pastrana it is worth highlighting its historical past, its charming corners and its quiet streets and steep alleys. Truly endearing and suggestive!!
