Kolugljúfur Canyon is a stunning natural wonder located in the western part of Iceland. It is situated in the Víðidalur Valley, near the town of Hvammstangi. The canyon is carved by the Víðidalsá River, which flows through the rugged landscape, creating a picturesque gorge.
One of the highlights of Kolugljúfur Canyon is the Kolufossar Waterfall, which cascades down the cliffs into the river below. The waterfall is a popular spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts, as its powerful flow and picturesque setting make for stunning photographs.
As the sun begins to set, the cliffs of the canyon are illuminated, casting long shadows and creating a dramatic contrast against the deep blue sky. The colors of the surrounding landscape intensify, with the greens of the vegetation becoming more vibrant and the river reflecting the warm hues of the setting sun.
In summer at Iceland, sunset was about 11pm-12am, sunrise was about 1-2am, the night was too short. Always took sunset photos, then waiting for sunrise... Only 2-3 hours night (not really dark night) during summer time.

Petit coin sympathique découvert avec Yoann hier après midi accessible à marée basse après une petite marche sur la plage précédente. Cette plage est bordée de très grands palétuviers et le sable recouvert par endroits de feuilles mortes. Quand nous sommes arrivés, le soleil passait déjà sous l'horizon, il a fallut trouver rapidement des éléments de composition (en évitant de se faire piquer par une escadrille de taons :-). Rémire-montjoly (Guyane française) le 20 novembre 2008, route des plages à l'embouchure du fleuve le Mahury.

Sympathetic spot discovered with Yoann yesterday afternoon accessible to low tide after a small walk on the preceding beach. This range is bordered with very high mangroves trees and the sand covered by places with black leaves. When we arrived, the sun was nearly below the horizon, we had to quickly find elements of composition (while avoiding being bitten by a group of horseflies :-). Rémire-montjoly (French Guiana) on November 20, 2008, road of the beaches to the mouth of the river Mahury.

Explore #1, thank you !
For anyone who thought I was simply being negative with my Least Interesting 23 post, here’s a celebration of interestingness (sorry Caterina, Stewart, & all the wonderful folks @ Flickr – I still can’t say that w/o giggling. ;)! Ok.
I stopped by fd's Flickr Toys for a moment this evening, and discovered the Scout feature, something I had been unaware of. Here’s their own description:
”The quickest way to feed your compulsive desire to see if your digital photos are listed among the 500 photographs chosen each day for the Flickr Explore page.”
I haven’t such a compulsive desire. In fact, I tried it thinking that my THREE images (that I was aware of because some cool Flickrites had LMK =) would make for a pathetically amusing… whatever!
To my UTTER SHOCK, there were MORE THAN THREE! Here is a poster they made for me with the mere click of a mouse -- it includes SEVENTY-bloody-TWO images (I have a smaller poster of leftovers, too :)! As I said when I first heard that one of my posts was featured there: "someone at Flickr has a great sense of humor!" ;-)
I'm not even a real photographer -- just a big kid on the loose, dangerously armed with some cheap cameras! ^_^
Well, thank you for stopping by.

Again burnt out I know, but hey this was the scene on the day, and a beautiful few moments it was. I uploaded a very similar version in colour earlier this week but I'm a sucker for black and white :-) There is something special about standing in a grove like this as the sun pours in early in the morning. Thankfully I have scenes like this all around me, I know I am lucky.
If I thank you all individually I'll never get out with my camera again! So thank you one and all for every view, comment and fav :-)
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple Beauty of Nature.

Let the new night bring you peace
And the promise of tomorrow,
Where we can wake to a new beginning.
Tomorrow, I'll have only lost their faces-
My friends and family,
Memories of all we had
And the times we should have lived,
And tomorrow America just might fall apart.
tomorrow, tell me,
Where will you wake up?
Beyond title, beyond lease, careers and laws,
Something more than borders on a map...
And the sun's always rising in the sky somewhere,
And if young hearts should explode
From all the lies they've been told...
To live through one night like this,
I would trade it for the silence...

After the rain had stopped, the dark clouds opened up to reveal the awesome light as it shined through while the Sun took it's Last Peek. Enjoy my friends, Lol.

View in large size for awesome details of this wonderful capture.
Just got back from Disney and actually got a few Monorail shots!
(Walt Disney World -- Epcot -- Space Ship Earth)
Thanks for stopping by! Lots of Festival of Fantasy Parade and Flower and Garden shots to come. FYI...Two days before leaving I realized my camera was haveing some issues. Not enough time to shop around for a new one and can't go to Disney without one! I remembered seeing an ad on The Disney Photography Blog for Kingdom Camera Rentals. All I can say is these guys were great. Eacy to deal with, on time for drop off and pick up, great camera. I actually like the camera (Canon Rebel SL1) that I'm considering it for my new camera.

He loves to enjoy sunsets with me ... He loves to spread his little arms, close his eyes, and just breathe ... I love to watch him and capture that unique moment ...

Not sure of species for this little jumping spider. She was around 7 mm body length.
She may be tiny, but she is mighty. And with her 8 eyes and almost 360 degrees of vision, a formidable huntress.

DSNG 476 leads the Winter Photo Freight south past a location known as "Goblin Fire" on the old DRGW Silverton Branch. Due to a distinct lack of snow this winter, the charter trains were able to go further north than the normal, allowing for this opportunity.
