Less than a mile out of a 40 mph speed restriction, Rio Grande's hot 'Railblazer', an overnight Denver to Salt Lake City piggyback train, roars westward through Provo, Utah at 60 mph on June 18, 1987.
for the first time this year i was go by bike and took a look at the nearby locations like this lake, alot of people i meet here, all enjoy the clean nature around here, i like this too because thats one of the rare lakes without privat areas directly on it and no motorboats are allowed here so the water and nature quality holds on here

Last one while i try and catch up with everyone, wishing you all a happy Sunday and a great week ahead xox
Scarlett and Kudzu have heard me preparing the pellet bowls for the two senior goats, Chester and Jack, and are hoping I'll give some to them. The other goats only get them occasionally, however, to draw them to or away from something when grazing outside. They live in an old greenhouse at Belmont Audubon Habitat.
Two weeks ago when we were in the Teton’s and Yellowstone the weather was rainy and less then ideal. This was one of the brief windows we had of no rain and some sunshine. This was the point at which things started to go against my plans. My sinus headache started and I realized I had left my tripod at home. This area was spectacular. There were small waterfalls everywhere. They were being fed by the three feet of snow still on the ground. For this photo I walked through the snow to the edge and quickly took a photo. This was the last I took during our time in Yellowstone. The sinus headache was too painful.
I processed this HDR from a single exposure and then finished the look with a touch of Topaz Adjust.

The beech tree avenue at Moor Crichel is most frequently shot from the centre of the road for its pleasing symmetry (being careful not to be run over), but I've had this shot in mind for a little while now, so a week or so ago when fog was forecast I took the opportunity to grab the shot I'd envisaged. Something a little different - I hope you like it!
I’m sure I’m not the only one whose emotions are influenced by the weather. During the winter of cold days, rain, wind and early evenings, it’s hard to be joyful, upbeat and positive. And then as Summer comes we’re outside more, warmer, and generally happier.
This is a spot in the Little Lakes Valley of the Sierra Nevadas, and this particular area is around 11,000ft in elevation. Air is really thin, and there are only a few months of the year where it’s accessible with no snow. I took this in early October last year and they got their first major snow storm the week after. But the sun will always come out eventually. Patience. Summer is less than three months away. And San Diego is less than three hours away, and we all know who is in San Diego right?

After a long 3 month drought of not getting out in the wilderness I finally was able to enjoy some of the beauty of Kentucky a couple weekends ago! Heading out with good friend Adam Thompson we headed down to Laurel County to check out some arches and waterfalls! Rain was in the forecast and somehow the weatherpeople got things right. It nearly rained the whole day. I had no worries though, after not being out for so long I could care less and my soaking wet cloths showed it. Though we only visited one waterfall, we did end up documenting 25 arches. One arch location had 10 arches and 4 windows, what a geological wonder! Back to the waterfall though, it felt sooo good to spend some quality time with one! Dog Branch School Falls is always an old favorite to stop by, and it was looking great on this day in the fog and rain!
I really am feeling inspired lately, i was kinda MIA for a bit. I was kinda in a rut and just feeling burnt out but i feel a lot better about photography/ my classes has been really inspiring and Im just having fun again, but the last 2 weeks of the semester are coming up and its gonna get real.
p.s. The colors on here look a little muddy compared to the original.
My favorite thing to do is not have a plan when I go shoot. I love to get in my truck, point it in a direction and go. The "NOT" knowing is the fun part because all I do is chase the light. I captured this image after rounding a curve in the road. You never know what you'll find just outside your door.

James River & Manchester Bridge
From Potterfield Pedestrian Bridge
Richmond, Virginia
T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge opened last month, providing a good vantage point for the river and the Richmond skyline; it is a 1,600-foot pedestrian bridge across the James River from the western tip of Brown's Island just below Tredegar Iron Works (now American Civil War Museum-Historic Tredegar) to the Manchester area on the south side of the river. Seen here are Manchester Bridge (9th Street/US 60), just east of the pedestrian bridge; CSX railroad trestle along the north side of the James, on the left; and buildings on the southern fringe of downtown.
Thursday afternoon my grandson Conner and I met Clyde (Whisle) at the north end of the bridge to get sunset, moonrise, and night skyline photos. We were not alone. Parking was tight, and foot traffic on the bridge made getting clear images a challenge, due to vibrations, especially for time exposures, such as this 30-second shot. Another source of trouble was a rather stiff breeze that at times moved the camera enough that movement could be seen. Still, it was a great evening, helped by temperatures still in the 60s at sunset -- a big change from less than a week ago, when we had snow and three consecutive daytime highs below freezing.

This is my first *tracked* Milky Way panorama. It's composed of 7 vertical frames shot while the mount tracked the motion of the stars. The tracking allowed me to shoot much longer exposures without star trailing -- for this one they were 60s exposures. Last year on this exact date I shot a Milky Way pano here with just camera and tripod, no tracking. In that case I used 20s exposures and even then there was some minor trailing. With the longer exposures allowed by the tracking, the Milky Way appears much brighter, with richer color and more detail. Of course, since the camera is tracking the sky, the foreground is somewhat blurred. I also took some foreground shots with the tracking turned off, and will blend those with the tracked sky shots at some point so that the foreground will be sharper. But for now, since the blurring isn't too bad when zoomed out like this, I took the lazy approach and just combined and processed the 7 tracked images.
There was a lot less water in the pond this year than last!
The sky starts to brighten at about 4:45am in mid March, so I got up at 2am to get to the site and get everything set up, polar aligned, focused, framed, etc. Started shooting by about 3:50am (yawn).

Namtso is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet and significant for Tibetan Buddhists. Kora is a Tibetan word that means "circumambulation" or "revolution". Kora is both a type of pilgrimage and a type of meditative practice in the Tibetan Buddhism. Thus, Namtso Kora means pilgrimage walk around the Lake Namtso.
Namtso literally means heavenly lake in Tibetan language. Located around 240km northwest of Lhasa, capital of Tibet, it takes four hours’ driving from Lhasa. Extending 70 km from east to west and 30 km from south to north, the lake covers an area of 1,920 sq km and has an altitude of 4748 m above sea level. It is biggest lake in Tibet and the second biggest salt lake in China as well as one of the highest lakes in the world. The water in the lake is crystally clear and blue. The blue sky joins the surface of the lake in the distance, creating an integrated, scenic vista.
In every Tibetan year of sheep, thousands of Tibetan Buddhism believers will come here to worship this sacred lake. As a rule, they will walk clockwise along the Namtso Lake in order to receive the blessing of the gods.
There are several fine Tibet treks around the lake. The shortest one is roughly 4 kilometers and takes less than one hour. It starts from the accommodation area to a hermit’s cave hidden behind a large spinter of rock. The kora continues to a rocky promontory of cairns and prayer flags. At the promontory, pilgrims undertake a ritural washing in the lake. And then the trail continues past several caves and a prostration point where there are two rock towers looking like two hands. Pilgrims squeeze into the deep slices of the nearby cliff face as a means of sin detection or drink water dripping from cave roofs, even swallow holy dirt.
Less colourful than the more frequently photographed Lilac-breasted Roller with which it shares the same Namibian habitat.
So this might look like some rural woodland, but its actually in the heart of the Sheffield steelmaking area and the M1 motorway is less than 500m away.
66140 eases its way slowly between Shepcote Lane Junction and Tinsley South Junction to await a path onto the lines through Rotherham Central whilst working 6D03 13:44 Tinsley SS to Immingham Dock Nordic. Thankfully running about 10 minutes early. I was about to leave to avoid missing the kick off of my sons football match, but heard the shed around the corner.
Taken straight into the sun and maybe a summer evening shot, although I expect the vegetation will have grown up by then.
My word for 2014. To fear·less, to face my fears, to push through them and come out okay (and hopefully in a better place).

Crossed 3500 miles for the year.
I wanted to chill out this year and ride less than 5k. I probably won't even make 4k. But that's Ok. :-)
Beautiful weather. Frost coming the next 2 days.
Time to get serious about showing you the little things about the garden that I've found so fascinating. Just after coming in through the front gate and 200 feet - ah, 273 feet - in on the right is this very large bush. It's at least eight feet tall, and a tangle of branches, and has wonderful one-inch flowers that reminded me of an orchid.
Every day, I'd pass, and every day I would look for an ideal shot. Tough to isolate one, but tougher to get less than three in a jumble with "stuff" all around to ruin a good shot of the flower's center.
Finally, I got this shot, knew I would darken the very distracting background, and a year later, I'm showing it to you. Now, every day I pass that bush and it's in flower for at least three months, I still make the attempt. It's too attractive to pass up.
Not much is written about this plant except that it has "tangled branches."
Eremophila divaricata, also known as spreading emu bush,is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Australia. It is a shrub with stiff, spreading, tangled branches which are often spiny on their ends, erect leaves and mauve to lilac-coloured flowers.
The sun has just risen giving stunning colours along Southbourne Beach Bournemouth, on a cold but fine January morning.

Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to leave congratulations and such lovely comment, it's very much appreciated!
"Smile on Saturdays" Less is More!
Less than 50mm high and only lasted for one day. I believe this interesting red fungus is called a Latticed Stinkhorn (L: Clathrus Ruber).
Less & old :)

Far less controversial is this portrait, Peasant in a Blue Smock. It may be the pose or the colour palette, but it reminds me of Van Gogh's portraits. Cézanne also spent time painting in Auvers as well as Provence.
