Clearing weather gave rise to this amazing phenomenon moving away from me as I shot this scene from the slopes of Frenchmans Cap
The Golden Gate on the Loop Road south of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park runs through a canyon along Glen Creek called the Golden Gate.The cayon wall expose Huckleberry Ridge Tuff, which erupted during the first volcanic cycle of Yellowstone about 2.1 million years ago. This outcrop of the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff lies about 20 km north from the rim of the caldera that formed as a consequence of its eruption. The tuff extends in a finger like shape north outside the caldera. Based on the distribution of the tuff, geologists postulate that the ash may have flowed down a broad river valley that existed before the eruption and filled or partly flled the valley. Subsequent cooling, faulting, and uplift caused the fractures.

I was trying to just post one image a day. It's gone out of the window a bit as I need to get through what I've got a bit quicker. I doesn't help that I keep adding new ones as quick as I'm finishing off the older ones. Anyway, one from the weekend to accompany the Lofoten Islands one posted earlier.
I made an effort to go and get a few more details of my favourite rocky spot on the beach, to try and consolidate a number of shots from this location into a sort of collection. I am particularly happy with the way this one turned out. It seems to sun up all the natural elements that I find exciting to look at. It just makes me feel good.
Long exposure from the rugged coastline of Torndirrup National Park near Albany in Western Australia. Fast moving clouds prompted me to bring out a six stop neutral density filter and run the exposure up to four minutes to get the most of that motion in the sky. I also liked the fractured, rocky foreground that had so much detail in it. It fitted with the overall dark mood that I was going for.
Created for TMI's July/August challenge: "In the Style of ... Abstract Art ...
And for the Handheld Art contest: "Flower Power".
My photo processed with iColorama, Leonardo and Stackables on the iPad ... and finished off with Photoshop on the iMac.
Group of woodland timber which has probably fallen to the ground due to disease. I love the chaos of these scenes and the way the weather dries and bleaches the wood.
Thank you for taking the time out to look... I hope you like it
Back to my local for a bit of angular slate. I liked the colours, the sheen, and the ambiguous scale.
The village of St Germans lies on the River Tiddy, part of the beautiful estuary of the Lynher which joins the River Tamar close to Saltash in S.E. Cornwall.
The 106 ft high St Germans Viaduct carries the train over the River Tiddy and on to Plymouth.

Just to let you know that I am having big problems with my back and I cannot sit at the computer. I will catch up with you on my iphone. Thank you for your kindness in visiting
This is from one of the less photographed areas of Badwater. Taken well after sunset.
During this 90 second exposure, I briefly used my headlamp to highlight the main area of this photo. It provided a light source of a completely different white balance than the ambient light. I then used some layering methods in photoshop to tone down the light-I found that I liked just a subtle effect. Another photoshop trick I used was to process another version of the image at a higher white balance. I then used "color" blending method and a mask to paint some of the color into the clouds.
Interested in purchasing an image?

As the human person loses conscious touch with the sacred, the capacity to appreciate and respond to the way the sacred is expressed through symbol is inevitably lost. Religiously and theologically, the loss of the symbolic leads to the pathology of literalism. When the religious story is read literally, its true power and meaning are lost. As a consequence, access to the depths from which the story arises is also lost.
