Sixty foot tall Delicate Arch is the most famous arch in Arches National Park. It is on the Utah license plate and has been the subject of innumerable photos. I happened to snap this shot when there was only one person in the frame to clone out. At the time, there were well over 100 people in the immediate area. Many were lined up taking turns getting their selfie under the arch.
I have been inspired to use textures again ever since seeing an exhibit of a photographer who uses textures on his southwest landscapes. So I used a shot of sandstone patterns as a texture here.
Happy Textural Tuesday!
Pre dawn at Ullswater, a bit a a break from the Icelandic images, ironically this was a heck of a lot colder than Iceland was!
Last week Myself, Geoff Moore, Mark Waidson, and Mike (Muddyboots) headed off to the Isle of Skye for a few days in what turned out to be a fantastic trip where the weather somehow played ball for us everyday.
On the way up we decided to stop off here for a sunrise shoot, it had been several years since I shot this location and I've never had conditions like this here, it had been down to minus 10 on the way up over Shap and this made for some great ice and frost around the lake giving some different foreground options.
This one was shot pre sunrise, we got some great light when the sun came up over the hills too but I really like the cold, still feeling to this image.

When you make the long uphill hike to Delicate Arch, it's out of sight for 45 minutes at least. But I spotted a hole in the rock wall high overhead and managed to scrabble up to get a preview and these two shots.
When I eventually got to the arch, the woman in these photos was still standing under the rock formation.
Delicate Arch is the best-known feature in Utah's Arches National Park.

These Thai Basil flowers (Ocimum basilicum var. thyrsiflora) are quite epehemeral — two different stages are visible here. Flowers appear in groups of four, about eight of which are clustered along a stem over about 12-14cm. Within clusters blooming is staggered over several days. Thai Basil is a delightful aromatic herb reminiscent of anise and licorice and native to southeast Asia — delicious especially in Thai cooking. The plants flourish in my Gold Coast garden.

The gentle delicate way this branch hung with its lovely still green leaves was a lovely sight against the complexity of the firs
The iconic Delicate Arch is a great spot for sunset. We never really got a super sunset, but I like the Sunstar on this one.
Priddy Mineries is normally a good place to see this delicate damselfly in the mid-late summer, but I saw very few on this visit. Not sure if it was due to the lack of sunshine, or maybe they're just having a bad year.

Where there is shadow, there is also light.
May we all find zest and light in the small moments of our everyday lives.

A macro view of a 3D hexagon formed with 2.5mm magnetic balls, taken for the Flickr Friday group theme, "Delicate." The frame represents a span of 1½ - inches across.
These magnetic balls are very small (about half the size of a BB) and difficult to work with, resulting in geometric shapes so delicate and fragile that even a slight mishandle will ruin it.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by three Nikon SB900 speedlights positioned at 9- and 3-o'clock, one-foot above and two-feet away from the hexagon. They were fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄64 power through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes.
The SB900s were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.

Right up close" is the theme for Our Daily Challenge (July 11–17).
The sharp spikes of the thistle contrast beautifully with the soft, feather-like seeds preparing to fly away. A tiny universe hidden in plain sight.
edit: Doesn't it look like a small fireworks display?

Zart und Stachelig
„Right up close“ ist das Thema für Our Daily Challenge (11.–17. Juli).
Die scharfen Stacheln der Distel bilden einen wunderschönen Kontrast zu den weichen, federleichten Samen, die sich auf das Wegfliegen vorbereiten. Ein kleines Universum, das im Verborgenen liegt.
Edit: Sieht das nicht aus wie ein kleines Feuerwerk?
A hibiscus flower normally lasts only one day, but during that day it produces a world class shaft of color and delicate beauty.....
