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 :-)
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.
If your legs are too tired for walking, both the Aquabus and the False Creek Ferry are pleasant alternatives for getting around False Creek. Vancouver, BC
False Kiva The trail to false kiva is a social trail not maintained by the park service, because of its archeological significance. There are small cairns along the way to mark the meager trail, but you have to be attentive. I walked right past it, but I found it while backtracking. Heavy fog rolled in as I arrived near sunset, but didn't last long. If you look at the large version you'll see clouds nestling around the rock formations in the distance. I carefully cloned out some manmade barriers that protect some areas to the left of the false kiva.
The exhilarating sight of bright rising sun has made me to expect that, unlike yesterday's cloudy weather, today would be a sunny one.
But I was proved wrong later on when dark grey clouds scattered fast in the sky, thus hindering a clear view of the morning sun.
Then in early afternoon, much to my disappointment, rain drops began falling. And instead of showing signs of letup, the light rain showers continued throughout the rest of the afternoon and up until early evening (as I write this).
It is the first rain this year in Subic Town and other municipalities in Zambales province. The weather disturbance was due to a low pressure area (LPA) in the south-eastern parts of Luzon, the biggest island in the Philippines. Zambales is located at the western part of Central Luzon.
It was snowing and blowing but not very cold. The snow occasionally turned to mixed snow and rain. A truly mediocre day to go for a walk along the seawall and even worse day for this shot of the big 'golf ball' at Science World.
Sysimbrium loeseli is flowering everywhere these days (along walls and paths, and in parks and forests).
Sysimbrium loeseli blüht derzeit überall (an Hausmauern, neben Wegen, in Parks, im Wald).

Not too happy with some areas of it, but for my first organic build I'm pretty happy
A community welcoming sign invites the viewer to enjoy the water sports at Bombay Beach. That is a beautiful lie. Bombay Beach is a distressed community on the shore of perhaps the most toxic lake in the world: The Salton Sea in southern California. Nobody water skis on the Salton sea…nobody even takes a boat out there. The Salton Sea was supposed to be a SoCal paradise with luxury seaside communities until chemical runoff from farmers fields polluted it beyond redemption. Nothing can live in that lake. It is said that birds flying over it used to drop out of the sky from the fumes. No one lives around it very long without developing some sort of respiratory illness. The surface of the water is not shiny, but rather has a dull matte sheen, something that I might compare to a sheet of dull plastic. Forget about waterskiing on the Salton Sea, I’m not even sure that one could survive it.
