Here's another view from Emei Shan Mountain in China showing all the fog and the endless layers of hills.

Neat clouds with the glow from sunset light over the Colorado Gunnison Canyon area.

Coastal California presents a study in layers. Here, the land, sky, and sea compose a seamless and ever changing symphony, where the spaces between the movements are felt by the senses, long before they are understood by the brain.

Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

Thanks to Don and Teresa Williams, this Standard service station has been restored to the glory that is reminiscent of the 1950s. The pump, signage and other historical artifacts seen at the station are not the originals, but they represent similar items from the 40s and 50s. This building is located at Madison and Second Street in Prairie City, Iowa. And by the way, even though you can’t see it in this photo, the gas pump still indicates 23 cents a gallon (that was for leaded gas).

Developed with Darktable 4.8.0.

This photo is quite special for me... the longer I look at it - the more confused about the different layers I get... Do you see what I mean?

... along the Quebec shore of the Ottawa River.

.. or is there anything in focus ? .. taken on another home office escape photonWALK .. happy weekend my friends :)

Like the northern lights I completely missed out on the rare appearance of snow down here this week. North Dorset, Wiltshire and even Weston got a dumping but nothing whatsoever on the South Coast.

Still what can beat seeing snow covered mountains? Taken handheld with my 200mm lens which has been repaired (after I slipped on ice and dropped it). I was £500 lighter but I'm getting it back through my home insurance and it's like a new lens. Result!

I bet North Wales is even more beautiful this week but its maybe unlikely I'd be able to get around.

Have a lovely weekend x

Sheep grazing as I drove home from work a week ago. Hope you have a pleasant Sunday. Here it rained hard all day.

In a sky that was devoid of colour what else is a photographer to do.........

I have always admired photos such as this but have never been in a place high enough to capture this. I really like the simplicity of it.

We headed to beautiful Mt. Tamalpais near Mill Valley, north of San Francisco. This mountain has three peaks. We walked up to the East Peak. From up there you get a 360° view, this peaceful view is up north during sunset.

I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

For a few years now, I have wanted to make postiives on transparency film and see what would come up as I played around with different substrates, with layering, with light. Today, I finally printed some transparent images and got the idea to make a book using the positives, regular print, and text. This is a transparency affixed to one part of a book page that has a “window “ cut out of it in order to allow the image underneath to show through. It’s low-tech layering, done by hand. No calque needed. :-)))

I think that the layered look of the clouds and rocks is what caught my attention here. This shot is of Pedernales Falls, which typically has the highest water volume flowing in the spring. The low water level here gave me a chance to explore some areas that are often not safely accessible.

want to thank you all for comments faves and views and invites

and for 8 million + views thanks

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Slightly soft on the face but I loved the balance of the image so much I had to keep it. A three piece suit always looks classy, even with an extra coat on top. Enjoy!

Looking eastward from an inner bench along the South Kaibab Trail, a small portion of the Canyon catches pools of shadow from the slant of winter afternoon light, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.

So much has burned in the American West since I made this photo not that long ago, and so much land is currently burning. The Front Range of Colorado recently experienced some of the most polluted air in the country as we navigate one more summer with heat and drought that conspire to loft incinerated forests and their previously sequestered carbon pluming into the atmosphere to trap even more heat. At the same time, we have deeply feckless leadership in all branches of government in the United States, and many other countries are also run by grasping charlatans and their brethren. It is hard to watch so much life burn for the benefit of so few.

I suppose one of the Canyon’s teachings is accreted amongst the very layers of its depths. The stone strata speak of Earth’s immense history, soliloquizing with their fossils of the evolutionary experiments that arose, flourished, and then disappeared, with only the minerals entrusted with their tales. Almost every species that has ever existed has found its way into the stone eventually. Some lineages like the Nautilus persist, relatively unchanged after 500 million years. Others flourish spectacularly like the dinosaurs and then meet an untimely cosmic end after 160 million years. Collectively, the fossils, the paleontologists, and the geologists tell us that individual species typically exist for 5-10 million years before going extinct. The hominid lineage, of which our own species is a part, is thought to have existed for approximately 7 million years, and the genus Homo is estimated to be 2.8 million years old, and Homo sapiens, little old us, has stretched out its neck to peer at its surroundings for a mere 300,000 years. Will our story, once it is written into a compressed layer of Canyon time, be one of wisdom or of folly? Perhaps the Nautilus can tell us.
