Perhaps a bit early to be reflecting on the highlights of the year - however, having a trawl through my images this morning I keep coming back to the Lake District images from earlier this year - a few special days with some glorious winter scenes taking at some amaziing locations.

The is The South Kaibab Trail at the Grand Canyon and where Mother Nature showed me she was the boss.
If you zoom in you'll see two hikers on a narrow very exposed path over the ridge. I was on a spot half way between these two hikers when the wind picked up. Suddenly a fierce ridge lift on my left coming straight up the cliff wall left me paralyzed on the spot. It was a straight drop down on the left you couldn't see the bottom. I felt like I was going to be picked up and tossed into the canyon like a piece of tumble weed.
I dropped to my knees dust blowing in my eyes and crawled on all fours to shelter behind a rock. My camera handing from my neck and dragging along the dirt also suffered war wounds. I was scared to death it took me a few minutes to even attempt to get up.
You can see the path turn and head down to a pit stop, this hike is no joke and is where I nearly met my Waterloo. Would I do it again? you bet I would it's awesome.
....and you will find that Love is spreading a carpet of flowers beneath your feet.

Happy New Year!
This was one of my favorite hikes of 2016. We hiked up into a foggy ridgeline late afternoon, freaked out as it cleared at sunset just after reaching our camp spot, then braved the cold for a bit at night to enjoy the stars and the surrounding scenery. I always find it humbing being surrounded by mountains and by a sky full of stars.
Looking forward to what great views this new year has in store.
PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVORITE
Just a random idea I had. Might want to do this with Diana, J'onn, and maybe Barry.

“Humble is the grass in the field, yet it has noble relations. All the bread grains are grass - wheat and rye, barley, sorghum and rice; maize, the great staple of America; millet, oats and sugar cane. Other things have their season but the grass is of all seasons... the common background on which the affairs of nature and man are conditioned and displayed.”
- Liberty Hyde Bailey

An old, restored Humble gas station in Madisonville, TX. Strangely, there is no indication on who is restoring this - no indication of city or museum involvement. It’s just there on a major intersection as if it were open for business (which it wasn’t).
As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Most of us have been conditioned (brainwashed) into believing that success and happiness is directly related to our material wealth.
Some of us are only satisfied when we own a monster-villa with a multiple-car garage, tennis court, pool, etc. Some others are never satisfied, no matter how financially well-off they are. How much is enough for you?
I have recently relocated from Gouna to Bibby's Hoek. For me, happiness is only achievable through more satisfaction, or through less desire.
These days I have very few desires. Give me a cosy cabin in the woods, and I'm a happy man!
Nou gaan ons braai.
Well here it is - the very first shot on my first roll of film on my first Holga camera. I'm can now say I am instantly smitten with this camera and what it can do. For many years I turned my nose up, thinking who'd want to shoot with a cheap plastic toy camera? Well I stand corrected on my opinion of it. It has proven to me that a cheap simple plastic box with 1 shutter speed and 2 aperture settings does have something to offer. There, I've gotten that off my chest. More photos to come from this first roll. [ And no, I do not live here :) ]

Los jardines clásicos de Suzhou son un conjunto de jardines en la ciudad de Suzhou de la provincia de Jiangsu (China), están considerados como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco desde el año 1997 y fueron ampliados en el 2000.

The Humble Administrator's Garden (Chinese: 拙政园; pinyin: Zhuōzhèng yuán; Suzhou Wu: Wu Chinese: [tsoʔ tsen ɦyø]) is a Chinese garden in Suzhou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous of the gardens of Suzhou. The garden is located at 178 Northeast Street (东北街178号), Gusu District. At 78 mu (亩) (5.2 ha; 13 acres), it is the largest garden in Suzhou and is considered by some to be the finest garden in all of southern China.

The Classical Gardens of Suzhou (Chinese: 苏州园林; pinyin: Sūzhōu yuánlín; Suzhounese (Wugniu): sou-tseuyoe-lin) are a group of gardens in the city of Suzhou, in Jiangsu, China, which have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Spanning a period of almost one thousand years, from the Northern Song to the late Qing dynasties (11th-19th century), these gardens, most of them built by scholars, standardized many of the key features of classical Chinese garden design with constructed landscapes mimicking natural scenery of rocks, hills and rivers with strategically located pavilions and pagodas.
The elegant aesthetics and subtlety of these scholars' gardens and their delicate style and features are often imitated by various gardens in other parts of China, including the various Imperial Gardens, such as those in the Chengde Mountain Resort. According to UNESCO, the gardens of Suzhou "represent the development of Chinese landscape garden design over more than two thousand years," and they are the "most refined form" of garden art.
These landscape gardens flourished in the mid-Ming to early-Qing dynasties, resulting in as much as 200 private gardens. Today, there are 69 preserved gardens in Suzhou, and all of them are designated as protected "National Heritage Sites." In 1997 and 2000, eight of the finest gardens in Suzhou along with one in the nearby ancient town of Tongli were selected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site to represent the art of Suzhou-style classical gardens.
Famous Suzhou garden designers include Zhang Liang, Ji Cheng, Ge Yuliang, and Chen Congzhou.

* I have been to London countless times but until 2016 I had not visited Southwark Cathedral. It’s situated on the South Bank of the Thames near London Bridge not as well known as St Pauls or Westminster Abbey perhaps but it is rather splendid. It's very near the site of the original Globe theatre it is highly likely to have been where Shakespeare attended religious services.
This photograph shows the Humble Monument l it consists of three, beautifully carved, family members, kneeling, it particularly caught my eye when I visited the Cathedral. It is a monument to Richard Humble (died 1616) and his two wives, Margaret and Isabel and was made by Flemish refugee sculptors living and working on Bankside. The coffered arch is typical of their work which is sometimes referred to as “The Southwark School”. It was given a marbleised finish during an 1876 restoration unfortunately as it gives a very different feel to the original work. The Monument is on the left side of the High Alter this is seen in the background of this image
Southwark Cathedral records show that Humble, a city alderman, was a member of the church vestry – the laity helping with the day to day running of the church and its charities. It also notes that despite his involvement with the Church, he was once fined for allowing his sheep to graze in the churchyard without permission!
