There is a difference in altitude of 3400 m (11 155 feet) between the bottom of Death Valley and the top of Telescope Peak, only 300 m (1000 feet) less than altitude between Everest summit and the base camp...!

Such a magical place that I’m patiently waiting to visit again here soon. Those cold chilly mornings get the mist going on the water that turns this already beautiful landscape into an ethereal story from a fantasy book. So eerie, but yet so quiet and peaceful .
Here's an image from last fall. It's easliy one of my favorites from my travels throughout the swamps.
The Externsteine is a distinctive sandstone rock formation located in the Teutoburg Forest, near the town of Horn-Bad Meinberg.
The Skull Rock Nature Loop passes through a maze of spectacular rock formations and luxuriant washes. Rock in this area began as liquid molten deep below the earth's surface. Continuously heated by movements in the Earth's crust, this molten oozed upward and cooled while still below the surface. Subsequent surface layer erosion exposed the rock, a form of granite called Monzogranite.
This nature loop offers excellent views of the east valley of Pinto Basin and sport some diverse vegetation and wildlife provided by the many standing pools of water in the recesses of the rock formations.

U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds - #126 in Explore 5/5/22

The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, known to all the world as the “Thunderbirds”, are the Air Force’s Ambassadors in Blue. They represent the 500,000 men and women of the United States Air Force. The Thunderbirds plan and present precision aerial maneuvers to exhibit the capabilities of modern, high-performance aircraft and the high degree of professional skill required to operate those aircraft. The Thunderbirds squadron is composed of eight pilots (including six demonstration pilots), four support officers, four civilians and more than 100 enlisted personnel.
The Thunderbirds air demonstration is a mix of formation flying and solo routines. The four-jet diamond formation demonstrates the training and precision of Air Force pilots, while the two solo aircraft highlight some of the extreme capabilities of the F-16. In all, the pilots perform approximately 40 maneuvers in a single demonstration. An aerial demonstration lasts 60 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for the ground show before takeoff.
During a typical season the Thunderbirds perform no more than 70 air demonstrations in 35 cities throughout the nation. More than 280 million people in all 50 states and 57 foreign countries have seen the red, white and blue Thunderbirds jets.
Thunderbirds were officially activated June 1, 1953, as the 3600th Air Demonstration Unit at Luke AFB, Arizona. The unit was nicknamed the “Stardusters.” Their first aircraft was the straight-winged F-84G Thunderjet. The team transitioned to the swept-winged F-84F Thunderstreak in 1955. In June 1956, the team moved to its current home at Nellis AFB in Nevada and traded the veteran F-84 for the world’s first supersonic fighter, the F-100 Super Sabre. In early 1964, the team changed briefly to the F-105B Thunderchief, but after only six shows returned to the F-100. In 1969 the team transitioned to the F-4E Phantom and then in 1974 to the T-38 Talon, a more fuel efficient jet. In 1983 the Thunderbirds began flying the
F-16 and continue to do so. - Was a huge thrill on a magnificent day!

Christine and I decided we would both use apples a prop and see what we each would come up with. Here is mine, stay tuned for hers!
A subject that I am forever fascinated about are the ways in which we as humans are not so very different from our surroundings. In this photo I am portraying a form rather than submitting to an identity. I am a piece of food, I am an apple, I am nothing more than another figure in the formation.
I spotted this strange ice shape in a frozen puddle while wandering around Glen Affric on Saturday and thought it would make an interesting foreground feature.
I then started wondering what it was and how it had been created; it was about 8" tall and completely hollow but I have yet to come up with an explanation.
Any ideas?

Trojan Phlyers formation take off at Fort Scott KS. Wonder if they will have a show there this year?
I cropped this quite a bit so this little beauty would show up!
"Damselflies are insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller, have slimmer bodies, and most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica."

Thanks to all for viewing, faving and/or commenting! Much appreciated! L 😊
This may look like sand dunes (reminded me of the texture of a lemon meringue pie) but it is actually one of the geological formations in Cappadocia.
I was walking along the shore and saw this interesting ice formation.

Je marchais le long du rivage et j'ai vu cette formation de glace intéressante.
These fascinating rock formations - some of them in striking, spiky rows - are the result of sandstone being compressed by the weight of the Pacific Ocean, then bent and buckled by colliding tectonic plates. They're usually hidden by the sea, but at low tide you'll see them all the way along the winding gravel road from Whakataki to the settlement of Mataikona.
This example was taken near Sandy Bay near the start of the rock formations.

This is another photo from Alien World. I had planned to get out ther in October, but it isn't working out. I can't find anyone to go with me. Just don't think it is worth the risk to do it alone.
So if anyone is interested, and can hike in severe conditions, let me know. I plan on going to KOW and Alien World one day, and would think about doing some hikes in the northern part of Bisti Badlands on another. It would have to be someone I have followed and they followed me on Flickr for sometime..
Two rock climbers on one of red rock formations within the Garden of The Gods in Colorado Springs Colorado. One of the many geological sedimentary rock formations created by the erosion of ancient sea mountain ranges. The shift have stood-up, moved and slanted some of the formations. It was names Garden of the Gods by two surveyors in 1859 originating from Denver City, Rufus Cable commented it a fit place for the Gods to assemble and called it Garden of The Gods and that name for this amazing geological area persists to today. Rock climbers can obtain permits and scale the formations as seen in this picture.

Soft early-morning light on rugged and colorful badlands formations.
On the final full day of our early-April 2019 photography visit to Death Valley we decided to head for a familiar location where I enjoy photographing in the morning. After being closed earlier in the season this area had finally reopened — flooding of washes in the area had interfered with access, and repairs had be recently completed.
The photographic opportunities in this area — and, to be honest, in many places — depend a lot on the specific qualities of the light during a visit. I've been here where clouds turned everything gray and when intense light made some portions of this landscape a bit too stark for my preferences. This morning was close to ideal. When we arrived, before dawn, there was a high overcast and the light was not all that spectacular. However, the clouds were thin, and as the sun rose the light made it thought the dissipating clouds — and this sort of high, thing clouds provide some of the most subtle and beautiful light.
