It was dusk on the Monaro High Plains back in 2008, when I stopped to take this landscape panorama. The old gnarled Gum tree was never the subject, but it was the star.
The romantic sounding Monaro High Plain is a tableland, 900 metres above sea level, lying between the Great Dividing Range to the east, and the Snowy Mountains to the west. It is a naturally treeless plain covered in native speargrasses Stipa spp that since its discovery by white explorers in the 1820s has been used for extensive grazing of sheep and cattle.
This image and the two previous ones are from a music video I made. A cover by Grace VanderWaal of Tove Lo's "Habits (Stay High" and a few other clips. I really love Grace's voice and the emotion that she puts into her work. Grace had shared the audio but there was no video.

High Lane in West Witton, Yorkshire - like in the Faroes, I got some terrible weather but it made for dramatic clouds :)
An account of my visit to the Yorkshire dales, including an encounter with a talking raven (seriously):
A black-necked stilt cruises the shallow waters searching for prey. Stilts have the second longest legs relative to their body size, just behind the flamingos. Black-necked stilts are found throughout the Americas, south of Canada to Chile and Argentina. They are related to the larger American avocets, genetically similar enough that they can produce viable hybrid offspring, though this occurs very rarely.
Looking from the frozen summit of High Seat (1995ft, 608m) past Bleaberry Fell to the snowy tops of Skiddaw and Skiddaw Little Man.
The fact that it was frozen up there was the (only) reason we headed up onto these fells which lie between Thirlmere and Derwentwater since normally it's just one big and very unpleasant bog!
High Falls NC is a 150 foot tall waterfall with a covered bridge at the very top. The waterfall is one of three falls, very close to each other along the waterfalls trail in Dupont State Park, near Brevard, NC.

Hochspannungsleitungen werden in vielen Ländern vorwiegend als Freileitung gebaut, da sie in den meisten Fällen preiswerter, wartungsfreundlicher und verlustärmer als Erdkabel und Seekabel sind. Hochspannungsleitungen werden üblicherweise mit Dreiphasenwechselstrom betrieben, was gegenüber einer Gleichspannungsübertragung den Vorteil einer einfachen Spannungsänderung mit Transformatoren bietet. Denn um eine hohe elektrische Leistung mit geringen Verlusten übertragen zu können, sind hohe Spannungen erforderlich. Andererseits bringt die Wechelspannungsübertragung – vor allem bei großen Entfernungen – auch höhere Übertragungsverluste durch kapazitive wie induktive Effekte mit sich.
The Little Lakes Valley trail at the end of Rock Creek Road is aa great hike for those who want a taste of the high Sierra without having to work to get there. The trail starts at Mosquito Flat, elevation 10,250 ft and continues along a chain of beautiful small lakes, with only moderate elevation gains in between. This is Marsh Lake, the second lake.
I tried some new techniques for processing high contrast images here and am quite pleased with the results. Thank you Michael Frye!
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
