Dome, Last Light. © Copyright 2021 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
The last light of the day glows on a granite dome in the Yosemite backcountry wilderness.
If your experience with the natural world comes largely from watching media about the experiences of those who travel there… it is possible that your perception is skewed in ways that do not quite correspond to reality. Based on what you'll sometimes see, you could end up thinking that the wilderness is a wild, thrill-a-minute place full of dangerous animals, daring hikes along edges of cliffs and more — all with exciting, bigger-than-life narration and dramatic musical accompaniment. I admit to occasionally falling (happily) for such illusions, but the reality is a lot different. Most of the time little happens. It is quiet. You are alone with your thoughts. There is time and space to just ponder.
The end of a backcountry day is often such a time, and when it comes — as this scene does — from the end of a backcountry season, it can be even quieter and meditative. As a photographer, the last few hours of the day are often busy times as we “work the light” before it is gone. But inevitably, the light eventually fades, and I’m often left standing quietly and just… looking.

Twilight at the O2 Arena in London, next to the river Thames. The night before we saw Genesis play their very last concert there. So emotional for us lifelong fans...just HAD to go. I took some photos of the concert but they weren't as good as last October. Had my SLR confiscated on the way in but still had a back-up pocket camera in reserve!
Titled the photo after one of my favourite Genesis tracks. Brought tears to the eyes last night.
For those who don't know the original structure was erected as the Millennium Dome in 2000 as an exhibition hall. It was an economic disaster (as only us Brits do) and closed to the public after only one year. In 2007 it re-opened as one of the UK's major concert venues, capacity 20,000.

Port Meirion in North Wales. Architecture by Clough William Ellis, he constructed the village using building salvage from around the world. The late sixties programme The Prisoner with Patrick Mcgoohan was also filmed here. The prisoners catch phrase was "I am not a number, I am a free man".
Berliner Dome - Berlin, Germany. Great to shoot these structures promoting good contrast after a nice “wet down”. ⠀ Sales: ewwallace3@gmail.com
Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome, 原爆ドーム、広島
It seems I'm more of a night time photographer after all :). I tried to find an interesting angle during the day but in the end the place seemed a lot more interesting after the sun had sunk below the horizon.
やっぱり夜の写真家かもしれません、私。昼の間に写真を撮ってみたですが、日没後、原爆ドームと周りのエリアはもっと面白くなると思いました。
Great dome in the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, Philadelphia, PA. In the centre there is the painting of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

I want to dedicate this build to my amazing wife.
You have always been there for me and have even taken an interest in my unique hobbies. You even went as far as creating your own Lego mocs flic.kr/ps/3U8Yxz ! Even though this world can be a cold place, you give warmth and comfort to everyone around you, just like this city under the dome. I love you so much and I always will.
La cupola del Brunelleschi.
Durante la visita alla galleria degli Uffizi, ci si imbatte in una terrazza del bar da cui si può ammirare la cupola del duomo innalzarsi sugli edifici toscani. Fu costruita nell'arco di 16 anni, dopo oltre un secolo dal completamento del duomo. Fu Brunelleschi a progettare questo capolavoro dell'ingegneria, rimanendo tutt'oggi la cupola in muratura più grande al mondo.
Brunelleschi's dome.
During the visit to the Galleria degli Uffizi, you can stumble upon a terrace of a bar from which the dome, emerging from the Tuscan buildings, can be admired. It was built in 16 years, after almost a century since the completion of the duomo. It was Brunelleschi to design this engineering masterpiece, that still today is the greatest stonework dome in the world.
