This view was generated from the digital terrain model and the nadir and colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express. It shows a bird’s-eye view of a region inside Trouvelot Crater, and features the worn-away crater wall in the background; the dark, volcanic deposits covering the crater floor; and a light-toned mound seen sitting within these deposits.
The dark material has been shaped by wind into rippling dunes known as ‘barchan’ dunes, visible as the smaller, darker marks sweeping from bottom-left to middle-right. These dunes are characteristically crescent-shaped, and created when winds blow in one direction.
The light-toned mound can be seen to the front-middle of the frame; this feature is around 20 km long and covered in ridges and grooves. It’s thought that this mound formed in the presence of water, but the exact processes involved remain a matter of debate.
[Image description: A tilted, close-up view of a rugged Martian landscape. The surface shows steep, shadowed ridges running diagonally across the scene, with soft reddish light illuminating their tops. Below the ridges, the terrain becomes darker and smoother, marked by small round craters and patches of rough, textured ground. A pale, sandy, fan‑shaped deposit sits near the lower right, contrasting with the darker surroundings. The overall impression is of a dry, eroded, and richly textured surface shaped by ancient geological forces.]

High Street is a hill on the eastern fringes of the Lake District National Park. It is not an isolated peak but rather the highest of a series of tops that lie on a ridge of high ground that runs northwards from near Windermere to the outskirts of Penrith. The hill takes its name from a Roman road that once traversed it and ran along the ridge, connecting the fort at Galava (Ambleside) with that at Brocavum (near Penrith).
The picture was taken looking towards High Street from the east shore of Haweswater [Hafr’s lake] Reservoir. The long east ridge of the hill that descends to the reservoir is called Long Stile [long ridge] and the valley to the right of the ridge is called Riggindale. The name Riggindale is most probably Viking in origin and translates into modern English as “Regin’s Valley”. For a brief period this valley became quite famous as it was the only nesting site in England of the Golden Eagle. A pair of the birds first nested in the cliffs above the valley in 1969 but the female disappeared in 2004 and sadly the male also perished during Storm Desmond in 2015. According to local folklore, however, Eagles are not the only ones to have sought sanctuary in Riggindale. Hugh Holme hid out in a cave in the valley after being implicated in a plot against King John in 1209. He stayed there for many years but eventually after the King died he took up residence in the village of Mardale Green which has now been flooded by Haweswater Reservoir. His line of descendants became known as the “Kings of Mardale” and the line only ended in 1885 with the death of Hugh Parker Holme, who is buried in the nearby village of Shap.
High Street rises to 2,717 feet above sea level. It is classified as a Wainwright, a Marilyn, a Hewitt, a Nuttall and a Birkett.
I committed to post 8 images of each model... I have 5 more after this one.. I hope you all enjoy them..
This image is a product of one of two studio sessions I participated in recently. One night we shot High Key and the next night we shot Low Key. I will post them with alternating styles and models.
One of my good friends here on Flickr didn't know what High Key and Low Key lighting was. I wrote him a quick description that he found very helpful, so I thought I would share it here for those who might be interested.
This is a quick overview... Both High Key images and Low Key images make an intensive use of contrast, but in a very different way. When approaching a shoot of a dramatic portrait, the decision of making it a High Key, Low Key or "just" a regular image has great impact about the mood that this picture will convey. While High Key images are considered happy and will show your subject as a tooth-paste poster; Low Key portraits are dramatic and convey a lot of atmosphere and tension.

When sitting in the front rows it really does feel that the whales are on top of you. This was shot looking up!

Certainly looks a decent combo so far...

Coincidentally, dates for next OUSA convention have been published a few days ago.
High population density does not imply more frequent interaction between individuals. For example people hardly talk to one another in big cities such as HK, NYC, Shanghai and Tokyo even though people with so many interesting personal stories are walking by everyday. Start opening up yourself to people now and maybe you will find beauty in the city. :)
