Like the fading fall colors the U23B's reign on the Georgia Central is quickly coming to an end. This will probably be the last time I shoot an all GE consist on the GC, though I've said that before....
During my most recent visit to Yosemite Valley, I was determined to challenge myself to make images from a wider point of view, but I still found myself drawn to intimate scenes, like this one. Keith Walklet says I "see in telephoto." He might be right. I love the way a telephoto lens compresses space and makes every element in a composition critical. True confessions: I sometimes make a game of how many compositions I can make from the same vantage point using my telephoto lens. It's fun. You should try it sometime. ;-)
I took a bazillion shots of me "falling" down the stairs. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm certifiable.
On the morning of the autumnal equinox, I took a short detour on the way to work to visit my sunrise spot on the edge of the Bay and was rewarded with a brilliant show of fall colors. Perfect conditions - gorgeous clouds, high tide and smooth water unrippled by the tide or breeze. It was a good day !
3 minute exposure using a Lee 10-stop filter, polarizer and Sky Blue. The swirling effect of the sky was due to the long exposure (not Photoshopped). Minimal post-processing. Can you see an owl face in the clouds? :)

I think that Autumn is a photographers best friend. I take in as much of this colour as I can before the winter Blah's decend. On the coast Blah is the word! These colours come from Brydon Lagoon in Langley
One of the few times I've ever been passed on a trail was when these two most gungho of trekkers raced past me into Fall Canyon. They of course had the advantage of not stopping every ten seconds to take photos.
Drottningholm Palace park in autumn
The Drottningholm Palace is the private residence of the Swedish royal family. It is located in Drottningholm. Built on the island Lovön (in Ekerö Municipality of Stockholm County), it is one of Sweden's Royal Palaces. It was originally built in the late 16th century.
Gustav III of Sweden took the initiative for what is sometimes called the English garden section of Drottningholm. This lies north of the baroque garden and consists of two ponds with canals, bridges, large open sections of grass, and trees in groups or avenues. Walkways are laid out throughout this large part of the park. Throughout this area "vistas" can be seen, cleared lines of sight that are intentionally constructed to draw the eye to a particular view.
I've always wanted to catch a falling leaf in the air before it hit the ground and now I have one. I can't tell you how many "click-of'-the-button" I had to take to get this... but finally. I have no idea why I wanted to catch a falling leaf... I guess it's just a part of my heart. :-)
Who else is ready for..
Colorful leaves, hoodies, jeans and boots...
Crisp air, hot chocolate, cool nights...
Carving pumpkins, Halloween... and the beauty of fall...
You said you have chestnut hair
And a chestnut-like sparkle in your eyes
And it felt so good to be together, beloved,
Among the golden leaves, the wind, and the stars
When the wind pelted the chestnuts with hail
You suddenly whispered, lowering your voice,
I am leaving today, but where I'm going
I'll take with me this golden night
Beloved, beloved
Chestnuts are falling off of trees as before
Right under the feet of laughing couples
Like the russet one they hail down
When at night in the alley
The russet chestnut I gave you and my heart
And you said three words to me and nothing more
That you love me and the wind
Already the third autumn gilds the park
Chestnuts are falling off the trees for the third time
But your love is not returning to me
Although so many leaves and stars shine
And only a golden chestnut I still have
A small talisman of the happy days
And this simple autumn song
Which the wind may perhaps carry to you
Beloved, beloved
Chestnuts are falling off of trees as before
Right under the feet of laughing couples
Like the russet one they hail down
When at night in the alley
The russet chestnut I gave you and my heart
And you said three words to me and nothing more
That you love me and the wind x2

The top of the St Columba Falls is fed by the South George River in Pyengana, Tasmania. In the drier months (like here) the flow of the falls drops considerably. The St Columba Falls are among the highest in Tasmania at 90 metres.
to see gold; go to the parks! :-)

Granite, Falling Water. Yosemite National Park, California. May 4, 2014. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A spring creek cascades across dark fractured granite, Yosemite National Park
Yosemite's Tioga Pass Road (Highway 120), which passes through the park and across the Sierra crest at Tioga Pass, opened earlier than usual this year. It was not the earliest recorded opening, but the very small snow pack of the winter season meant that in early May it looked much more like a typical June. There was some snow left on the ground, but rather than being the deep and compacted remains of months of winter snow it was mostly what was left from a single spring storm a few days earlier.
In a more typical year, a drive over this route on the opening weekend provides an experience that is, to my way of thinking, mostly about water. Not only do we get to see vast remaining snow banks holding water that will irrigate the Sierra for months to come, but the spring melt brings wild, watery scenes nearly everywhere. Waterfalls and creeks appear in places where there is almost no evidence of their existence weeks or months later. Creeks spill across the highway flood sections of it. Larger creeks and rivers overflow their banks and turn meadows into lakes. But not this year. The photograph features a small section of a larger cascade which bounces down a steep and rugged section of granite boulders. Beautiful as it is, it should look like this in late June rather than early May.
