The sun breaks through Hollow Rock, which is near Grand Portage, Minnesota.
I went up to Hollow Rock Resort this morning with a shot visualized in my mind, but the conditions I wanted didn't appear, so it took some work to get this shot to work for me. The thing that makes the shot for me is the sunbeam and that only occurred after the sun was up and started melting the ice off the rocks and turning it to mist. It was a surprise when it happened, and I just needed to take advantage of the surprise by composing so the light hit the boulder. Overall, I'm happy with the result.

Sunrise at Hollow Rock beach at Grand Portage MN.
Hollow Rock beach is a hidden gem. It is a 40 minutes drive north of Grand Marais, MN on highway 61. You need to look out for mile marker 140 and you will see Hollow Rock Resort sign about 1/2 mile after crossing mile marker 140 on the right.

One of my contacts Paul , offered up a challenge.....Take one of his vertorama's and see what you could come up with. So I thought it offered up a prime opportunity on the eve of All Hollows Eve to create a post more on the sinister side.
Please check out Paul's amazing work. He is the master of the Vertorama technique, so it is worth the look.
Happy Halloween everyone.
Dark Hollow Falls plummets down 1000 feet from its more photographed upper falls area. Take the 1000' descent for views like this cascade. Of course, you have to hike back up, but you'll get several nice views or even "do-overs" for stops on your way back up. This was taken in early May, 2022.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

with early morning conditions on low sunbeams and mist becomes this opening a nice place. The mist was changing and creates different moods. One time I feel to stand in a room, a hollow room full of atmosphere. On my series the pillar of an old ski lift disturbs the impact. That one where the pillar is good visible and placed in frame it overcomes as a foreign body.

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
from "The Hollow Men" (1925) a poem by T. S. Eliot.
Lhoist North America's Rockwood Turn crosses the trestle at Coalbank Hollow outside of Rockwood, Tennessee behind the railroad's only two EMDs for power. The ravine below the trestle as well as the junkyard in the foreground was once the site of the Roane Iron Company, an iron works founded by a pair of Union veterans after the Civil War. The company mined coal and iron along the ridge and transported it to its furnace and coke ovens a few hundred feet away via an in-plant narrow gauge railroad. The works shut down during the onset of the Great Depression in 1929.
"I don't wanna be the last man standing
I don't wanna be the lonely one
Picking petals when the party's over
No, it's not any fun
'Cause I'm fragile
And you know this
So hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty and only your love can fill up my cup
'Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
'Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
I don't wanna be the first one folding
I don't wanna be the joker heart
Tell me, darling, will you understand me?
And not show me your cards?
'Cause I'm paper-thin
And you, you make me whole again
So hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty and only your love can fill up my cup
'Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
'Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
I confess (yeah), my weakness
Til you pick up the parts that are broken
Pour out your perfection on me now
And hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty, 'cause only your love can fill up my cup
So hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty and only your love can fill up my cup
'Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
'Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
'Cause I'm hollow (yeah)
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh (oh yeah)
'Cause I'm hollow (I'm hollow)
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh"
