You think your nearly there and then you get a little higher and realise it's a false summit... it happens a lot when walking the fells.. now I never believe I'm nearly there until I am there :-)
Is it a beetle? Yes it is.
Is it a potato beetle? Yes.
Does it look like a potato beetle? Yes
The similar Colorado Potato Beetle is found throughout the USA, but this one, the "False Potato Beetle" is found only in Eastern USA. Eastern Potato Beetle would seem a more logical name...oh well.

Taken in 2016 when it was open to public. As of today, False Kiva still remains closed by the National Park. Somehow I lost the raw files after a hard drive failure, but was just able to recover them and re-processed.
It's amazing how much these spread in a season. Nice to have, attractive to pollinators, but I think we'll have to set some limits...

The NW summit of Waddington has a false summit as well as a true summit. The false summit sits just to the south of the NW summit at the head of Angel Glacier, across a small saddle. In this photo from the true summit of Wadd an American climber is traversing from the NW summit over the saddle to the false summit.

It appears False Creek has been one of my go-to locations lately. It's so photogenic that I can't resist. This was taken early in the morning just as the sun was coming up. The still water created some incredible reflections of the cityscape and clouds overhead.
"The Spiritual Warrior is a person who challenges all fear, lies, false beliefs, and judgments that create suffering and unhappiness in his or her life. It is a war that takes place in the heart and mind of a man or woman. The Spiritual Warrior faces this challenge with the clarity and awareness that this war is fought within himself and that Truth and unconditional love are on the other side of these battles." - Gi ❤
"I'm at the borderline of my faith
I'm at the hinterland of my devotion
I'm in the front line of this battle of mine." - Sade ♫
Ancient ruins at Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Commonly known as False Kiva.
EXPLORED 19 DEC 2015
if you think there's something odd about this 'portrait', that's because it shows just the reflection (rotated by 90 degrees) of the bird on the water surface, not the actual bird :-)
(the title makes reference to the pelican as a symbol of Jesus Christ; in medieval Europe, the pelican was thought to be particularly attentive to her young, to the point of providing her own blood by wounding her own breast when no other food was available; as a result, the pelican came to symbolize the Passion of Jesus; in Ancient Egypt, the pelican was associated with death and the afterlife)
So I bought I Hoya HR72 for the X100T from Amazon for this challenge, but I'm either using it entirely incorrectly or the filter is fake, because even with the longest exposure time I don't get those nice snow white grass and leaves, everything is just red. There is also a really nasty halo(I've removed it here) present on all the shots, at first I thought it was the after market hood and filter ring I was using, but it's exactly the same with the filter directly attached to the camera. Think it needs to go back to Amazon.
Going to try this again in the summer when we have a bit more greenery present though.
Week 2 - Infrared
Inside Canyonlands National Park in Utah is False Kiva. This place is not on any park maps or literature but if you ask a ranger - they will explain to you how to get there. It is a fantastic spot - beautiful, remote, spiritual. No one is quite sure what the Native Americans used this place for but the inspirational views and isolated location were undoubtedly a special and important place.
