Horses at Hacienda Zuleta by Linda Aulicino

173 25

Horse-riding has been an integral part of Hacienda Zuleta for over a century. The ranch is home to 200 horses, 100 bred for polo and the rest for guests and farm-use.

The Zuletenos breed, a cross between Andalusian, Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse bred at Hacienda Zuleta, is also a wonderful dressage horse.

The horses are so well-mannered, obedient and eager-to-please, very responsive to the rider. Just a dream.

"Almost nothing can spook them," said José Ñoquez, local guide and master horseman, "They have a perfect disposition for trail-riding."

Riders can explore the stunning Andean countryside on a number of trails that climb to nearly 4000m above sea level.

A Rose in the Mist by Max Angelsburger

We took a small trail up to Pfaffenberg, next to Lauterburg on the Swabian Alps, Albtrauf. We walked right through small trails with big fir trees, covered in snow. From the viewpoint Pfaffensturz we could see Mt. Rosenstein (735 m) partially covered in mist. Was a nice, small winter hike, with very pleasant wind, temperature and snow conditions. Thanks to my close friend, photographer-buddy and local guide Nicky! :-)

Surprise Encounter by Mario Nonaka

38 15

While heading back from the morning tour we came across this female jaguar just a few hundred meters from our flotel. She was very nervous and only gave us a few seconds before disappearing in the bushes. She also had a prt of her tail missing. Local guides knew her and she wasn't seen for a very long time, so very lucky to have such a special moment. I had my camera already stowed but as we saw some raptors just a few minutes before this jaguar encounter i still had it out...luckily. So i learned again to be ready at any time ...

***--------Best viewed pressing "L" on your keyboard-------***

The Tetons is were I met up with international and local guide, Jen Hall. Although so much smoke you literally could not see the Tetons after my second day there this shoot was quite productive. Fortunately photographer and guide extraordinaire showed up on scene with contacts all over the park. It is so cool to see the respect she is offered by her fellow guides and look-outs constantly exchanging info about various locations around the park. Jen is at home in Africa(*Kenya),Yellowstone or the Tetons..She is the real deal folks. Very humble letting her photography speak for her. Jen is that quiet geter done kinda gal.

This is her FLICKR site:

It was such a pleasure meeting such gracious kind folks like Phil's Pixels in Spokan, too briefly we met at his beautiful artisan home for lunch before heading eastward. Then hooking up with Ken Kelal , Jay Stotts and friends sharing their beach front property with this SoCal pilgram. And geographically, lastly, one cool gal to hang out with and shoot with, Jen Hall. A bit of a side note Jen has a thing for Weasels. One ran by us and she abandon a cow moose with a baby in good light to run after squealing all the way... "A weasel Brian, look a Weasel!!!" LOL!! We had a hoot of a time shooting together. Jen is a fun good sense of humor and all business when necessary. I could not recommend her higher as a guide anywhere she guides!!!!

Arabian Dream @ Monastery, Petra, Jordan by Avisekh Mukherjee

93 11

Jordan is an amazing country and as usual I have made a short film to capture our experience to this stunning ancient land. Have a look; I am sure you would like it.

Exploring the Timeless Beauty of Jordan

This is one of the image that was always in my mind when I went back to Jordan this April. Unfortunately; it is way more complex to arrange the logistic for this image than capturing the image itself. So I had to improvise.

Just to make sure that I don't misguide anyone; I will add in how this was captured.

Access to the archaeological site of Petra is not possible after sunset. However; with a local guide I made some arrangement where they allowed me to stay there 2 hours after the sunset. But the Milkyway would only align like this close to midnight and I will be kicked out by 9PM.

So how would I capture the image? Well that is where some planning came handy. After some careful map study; I found a hill outside the archaeological site, but high enough to give me an unrestricted view of the Milkyway and also points to the right direction.

So the plan was; I would capture the Monastery between 20:30 and 21:00. The go out and climb that hill and stay there till mid night to capture the Milkyway and blend them together to come close to how it would look around mid night at that location itself.

There is a local Bedouin shop just next to the Monastery and they have installed some powerful LED lights and that was completely ruining the image. So I requested them to switch it off. But they can't it is lit with solar and light sensor. There are no switch to switch it off. They understood the problem and one of the person of the shop covered it with his jacket. So kind of him. But it was still creating a little ambient light. Initially I was a bit sceptical about it; but in fact I liked that effect from the ambient light.

However; it felt a bit flat. That gate of the Monastery looks so mysterious. I had to do something about it to make it some kind of gateway. To hell or heaven; I let you interpret that. At the same time I needed to make a contrast. So the red light of my head torch came into rescue.

I hate taking images of architecture that looks like falling off the frame and all the straight lines of the wall converging at the top. This is exactly what happens when you capture such grand architecture with a wide angle lens. As at this location I would only capture the Monastery; I tool my trusty 17MM Tilt Shift lens with me. With the tilt function it helps keeping the lines of the architecture exactly how it should be.

We were kicked out of the place by the security at 22:00. After the 45 mins walk to the parking I let my guide go and went to the base of the hill. Parked my car. Swapped the camera, grabbed the astro gears and climbed an hour to the top of the hill.

Now a surprising thing happened. The city of the Petra is behind the Monastery, so it creates good amount of light pollution. However where I went is behind the city of Petra and I am looking at a direction where there are no cities for around 80 KMs and I would capture the Milkyway a bit high in the sky, so no light pollution. I would be honest; this means; if I would have captured the Milkyway from exactly the location of Monastery; I would have had way more light pollution.

But after all those effort; I would take it. The mid night arrived and I captured the Milkyway exactly on the angle I wanted it to be and later an easy processing of the foreground and the Milkyway separately and blend them together made this image possible.

For some who wants to know equipment; here are some details.

Hivjufossen, Norway by Multerland...

14 1

Hivjufossen is a 250 meters high waterfall in Hovet, a village in the municipality of Hol in the province Viken, in Norway.

Some kilometers from the centre of the village Hovet, in the direction of Aurland, is a hiking track to the Hivjufossen. The majestic waterfall is a tourist attraction and can only be reached after 40 till 60 minutes climbing. Hivjufossen consists of an upper and lower waterfall which are created by the water of the river Storekvelvi that streams from Hardangervidda National Park to Hallingskarvet National Park. It is joined by other rivers and streams as it flows in the direction of the river Storåne in Hovet.

Deadly accidents

The waterfall came in the news when on August 3, 2007 a Dutchman (40) accidentally fell into the waterfall and was found dead some hours later. The first deadly accident took place in 1991. The victim was a Norwegian woman (44). The third victim was an American (52).

The fatal fall happened on 24 July 2016. Magne Holestøl, local guide, experienced travel guide of tourists who visit the Hivjufossen and member of the rescue team in 1991, stated in the article "Ikke trygt for turister" in the provincial newspaper NRK Buskerud Hivjufossen is not safe for tourists.

We arrived in the middle of a parade of bikini beauties, drone fliers, and their long-suffering local guides. All the other visitors took turns standing on the rock for their social media selfies. Nobody understood why I did not wish to be the star of my photo! It was literally incomprehensible that we would come to a waterfall and not take a selfie.
