The Snow Roads (www.visitcairngorms.com/inspire-me/snowroads/ ) Scenic Route is a 144-km (90-mile) journey which takes you from the picturesque market town of Blairgowrie to the traditional Highland town of Grantown-on-Spey. The route traverses the highest public road in Britain taking you through some of the most outstanding landscapes in the eastern Cairngorms. The road links the communities of Braemar, Ballater and Tomintoul with a range of natural and cultural attractions. Three stunning Scenic Route Installations provide new opportunities to stop and explore this wild and beautiful highland countryside. A Cairngorms photo-post is also located at each installation to allow you to capture changes in the landscape. With such a range of activities for families, explorers and sightseers alike, take your time to relax with an overnight stay or two in your choice of accommodation along the way and stop at one of the many cafes and restaurants to sample some highland hospitality. Travel the scenic way on the Snow Roads North or South with the opportunity to link to many other areas in Scotland including Royal Deeside, the Malt Whisky Trail or the North Coast 500. The Snow Roads are slow roads. Take your time to enjoy the views, villages and attractions along the route. You will experience steep hills, ‘blind’ summits, tight bends and single-track roads in part so be sure to drive with care and courtesy. On narrow sections, please be aware of other drivers and use passing places to allow others to go by safely and continue on their journey. www.visitcairngorms.com/plan-your-visit/about-the-cairngo...

Hello friends,
Something new from me. I was hesitant about posting this as this my first attempt at this type of photography and edit. But when I saw the back of my camera after taking it I knew I had to try. I should get better at these types of pictures since I never seem to sleep at night anyway. First time for everything!
I was listening to Stairway to Heaven when I started the process of posting this and had it titled as such. But the more I thought about it the more cliche it sounded. It does remind me of something similar to that though. Perhaps some of you will catch the reference to the title :) Even though it is imperfect in a million times I think the only way to see growth is by posting pictures along the way. It's astonishing to look back and see how we grow. I do that often with people here I follow. Some of you have been with me since the very beginning in my very humble efforts. Flickr will always be my first love when it comes to community. I have never experienced the same type of encouragement anywhere else that I experience here. Thank you for being with me on this journey, for growing with me and never failing to inspire me.
Love always,
Rachel

A trip to London today for some photography inspiration. Really enjoyed wandering Elephant & Castle, which provided perfect backdrops for street photography
My friend Karl suggested I do a super wide pano of the Mamore Mountains in the West Highlands of Scotland. Sgurr Eilde Mor is to the left, with the Easain Mountains to the right. Taken from the summit of Stob Mhic Mhartuin, Glencoe.

This should be a board, but I'm not home, so I don't have what I need to build it. And I have very poor internet connection here, so here is my kinda *inspiration board* for week one. I've got lots of images in my mind, and only the names on this list. Now that I read it, there are many more things ...
And I should have added ... my Flickr friends, of course!

This was the first assignment where I was both the story writer and photographer. The article I wrote is found below this photo's byline, seen here:

Studies In The Art Of The Slack Key
by Bill Adams
The Waimea Music Exchange store at Parker Center was filled with the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music this past Saturday morning as a group of students from Cornell University participated in a slack key guitar lesson taught by the Big Island's own Don Kauli'a, whose album "Sweet Wahine" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award.
The students are enrolled in Cornell's Earth and Environmental Systems (EES) Field Program. A 5-month course which spans the entire spring semester, students engage in field, class and laboratory studies focused on the various ecosystems of our Hawaiian island chain and of Hawaii's history and culture.
Led by Professor Dr. Alexandra Moore, the EES Field Program is based out of Waimea and hosted by the Hawaii Preparatory Academy. The students' living quarters is the 8-bedroom Waiaka House near the main campus of HPA.
Dr. Moore explained, "The students are immersed in studies geared towards "Kumu Pa'a I Ka 'Aina, which translates to 'Knowledge and understanding that comes from the land.'"
The stated mission of the EES Field Program is "To inspire stewardship of the Earth through first-hand experience with the power, and fragility, of Earth's interconnected systems."
Upon completion of the EES Field Program, students will achieve 18 credit hours from courses such as; Field Study of the Earth System, Biogeochemistry of the Hawaiian Islands, Field Study of Marine Ecosystems, Internship Experience, and an Introduction to Hawaiian History and Culture, which included Saturday's slack key guitar lesson.
The Program stresses the importance of respecting the Hawaiian ancestral lands and to give something back to the community by engaging in a variety of service learning (in class) projects and local volunteer opportunities. Students are also encouraged to explore ways in which they can contribute to the well-being of their adopted community.
Before Saturday's lesson began, the students were able to briefly meet and chat with another famous Big Island slack key guitar master, Sonny Lim, a 2007 Grammy Award winner for his work on the album, "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2".
Participating in Saturday's guitar lessons were a diverse group of five Cornell University students; Hannah Kubica, a junior from Little Falls, New York, Keisuke Irie, a senior from Bergen County, New Jersey, Matt Connelly, a sophomore from Syracuse, New York, Kourtney Reynolds, a senior from San Diego, California and Tyler Huth, a sophomore from Boston, Massachusetts.

Redwood trees with rays of sunlight bursting through the mist.
View on Black and LARGER.
The redwoods along the northern coast of California receive about 70 inches of rainfall each year just from their own needles and branches -- water that condensates and collects from the fog that shrouds these huge trees. As the fog rolls in from the ocean each day, droplets of water condensate and build larger on the needles until they drop to the forest floor. As the fog rolls further inland, occasional breaks in these low-hanging clouds allow sunlight to burst through between the branches. (There is more information about this image on my blog.)

I just self-published my first photo book (photos of the Grand Teton NP). You can see a preview of it at my blog, Your Photo Vision. Since this is a blog read by photographers and wanna-be photographers, I also discuss the advantages and pitfalls to self-publishing through the new print-on-demand format. I'd love to hear your comments.

"Inspire” 2020
Did you lose your words young one?
Writer’s block, loss for words, language barriers and failure to understand each other are topics that I think about often. As a matter of fact, writer’s block and loss for words are two things plaguing me right now. 2020 has been one heck of a year with so much uncertainty, change and growth for humanity.
It has given me an opportunity to let go of some things that no longer serve me but it has also silenced me in a way. I have always felt like a very vocal person and have tried to use my art and writings to uplift people. But right now, the inspiration to write just isn’t coming to me and it scares the heck out of me.
What if I lose my ability to channel inspiring messages through my art? What if nothing else comes to mind? What if no one cares? Or worse, is listening?
I believe there is a time to listen and a time to speak. I have been listening a lot but now I feel like my power to speak has been blocked and it feels crippling. Releasing a work of art without a piece of writing feels incomplete to me and I have a lot of art ideas but not a lot to say.
Do you ever feel blocked like this?
why do we post photos? I realized that my main flickr motivation is to inspire and to be inspired. Gonna take a flickr break, friends... c u around!

So it feels like forever since my last shoot & with little time to even process images, I needed to make some time for photography. This was from the last outing I had to Noosa & I always look for insiration here when I'm in a rutt. It's just the most amazing place with all sorts of rock formations & bays that face every point of the compass.
I'll be out running again in the morning but will try & get out to shoot on Sunday, the camera has been telling me it needs a salt air fix for ages...lol
Hope you all have a great weekend & hopefully I'll make it around your streams soon.

The Tree of Souls (Utraya Mokri) is a giant willow-like tree that's said to have the highest concentration of Eywa on the planet. The Tree of Souls can also create a one-way psionic link between two bodies, similar to how Avatars work. When Grace Augustine was injured, Jake brought her to the Na'vi and they attempted to save her by using the Tree of Souls to permanently transfer her mind to her Avatar body. Although Grace was too weak to make the transfer, Eywa absorbed her memories. At the end of the film Jake successfully transfers his mind into his Avatar, making it his true body forever.
I am jumping from morning to morning, I feel forced to enjoy this moments again and again. It's like an addiction and I think I can't do it on an other time. The light, the colours and the mood on dawning autumn are so inspiring!
