A fantastic memorable day with these amazingly playful little characters. I just wish they'd sit still for just a few seconds longer.
The Cedars of Lebanon at Attingham Park (NT) - All covered in heavy snowfall - White, black & tints of blue then.
Scenes and moments like this is why I'm a photographer.
As I get older it takes a bit more to get me excited, having experienced many grand times and moments in years past.
Must say I feel like a kid at Disneyland after a morning like this.
Particularly when this is just the beginning of a day of image hunting in spectacular country.
Your comments, faves, suggestion and support are always appreciated.
Hope your weekend is off to a great start.
This is another scan from my collection of old slides. I had a very memorable morning on New Years Day 1984. The previous year had been pretty tough so I decided to change my outlook by getting up in the middle of the night and driving to Marin Headlands to photograph the sunrise. What a morning! This photo was taken before the sun cleared the horizon, through the Golden Gate Bridge toward San Francisco. It was a wonderful way to start the New Year.
Lumiere divine - Another memorable dawn spent on the shore of Loch Awe with the most divine of all light just striking the beautiful medieval ruins of Kilchurn Castle. This is such a stunning and inspirational location as one can get, and the unique conditions did not disappoint.
Captured on the second of two very recent visits, this location has been extremely kind to me by presenting near perfect conditions which I feel privileged to experience. Arriving lochside some 20 minutes before dawn, conditions did not appear hopeful at all, with neither reflections nor light offering any promise. Oh how wrong could I be, as not long after sunrise I was treated to the most remarkable display of intense light for just a brief few minutes. Enough though to be able to catch this remarkable sight.
A wonderful and inspiring sight at any time, especially so when conditions are as unique and superb as this.

This is one of the most memorable small caterpillar I remember seeing when I was a small child. It is widely distributed in the Quebec province and has striking color patterns. I like those long white hairs against the black.
I know, it's another hot air balloon and tulip shot.. :-) The reason why I uploaded this particular one is because I like the composition... and besides as most of you already know, I really love hot air balloons. :-)
It was a very memorable morning when we had the privilege of visiting the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. Can't wait to go back next year... :-)
A memorable photo session with my buddy and excellent photographer Nolan Nitschke. I don't remember ever laughing so much during a photo session. So much fun taking in this beautiful late light scene and laughing our asses off. I look forward to many more of these kinda sessions with Nolan.
If you are in the Mammoth Lakes area make sure to stop in his The Sierra Light Gallery - Photography by Nolan Nitschke. Flat out awesome work!
2024-5-26 Sunday storm in Tennessee
Last Sunday I had one of the most memorable events in my life.
We joined up with my friends Mervin Woods and Marcus Creasy, to visit a remote off trail waterfall in the Big South Fork recreation area in Tennessee.
As we headed back to the car, we got caught in the most scary storm event in my life. It was so violent, the strong wind was just knocking massive trees over left and right as we were still in the forest. One tree crashed down about 20 feet behind me, while a few moments later one came down right in front of me.
We all had no idea how this would end....
As all this started I did one of those in panic prayer to the Almighty God to protect us. He did!
The aftermath of having to wait for 6 hours before the forestry crew finally cleared the Hundreds of trees that came down and blocked the road seemed not that bad. A great thanks to the forest service crew who gave up their Memorial Day to rescue us. I firmly believe it was the hand of God that allowed us to have other days added to our lives.
“Perlan – the Pearl – is an immersive museum that showcases Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes and nature in an accessible and engaging way. Its impressive hands-on, interactive exhibits and shows explain the country’s landforms, geology and wildlife. State-of-the-art technology elevates Perlan from an ordinary museum to one that guests will find innovative and memorable.
Alongside a fascinating display that focuses on the characteristics of Iceland’s changing glaciers, visitors can step into a hundred-metre-long artificial ice cave. An estimated 350 tons of snow gathered from Icelandic mountains were used in its construction. In graphic contrast, the museum’s Forces of Nature exhibit addresses the country’s volcanic systems and geothermal activity.
Styrmir, the museum’s spectacular indoor geyser, shoots a jet of water 25 metres into the air through the central atrium.
In Perlan’s domed 150-seat planetarium, the spotlight turns to the Aurora Borealis. Utilising 8K projection and 7.1 surround sound, the breathtaking Áróra show takes guests on a spellbinding journey through the origins and legends associated with the Northern Lights, bringing it vividly – and reliably – to life.
Perlan’s striking architecture adds an extra dimension to a visit. Located on Öskjuhlíð, the tallest hill in Reykjavik, it’s an easily recognised landmark, comprising six water tanks that support a glass dome which floods the interior with light. The museum’s wraparound observation deck offers an uninterrupted 360° panorama of the Icelandic capital and its surroundings.
Perlan represents Iceland in a nutshell. As such, it makes an ideal first or last stop on every tourist’s itinerary, whether they plan to venture beyond Reykjavik or choose to remain in the capital.”

We had driven up to Lake City from Creede a couple of days before and while there, I picked up the local touristy brochure to see if there was any good information regarding places to shoot. An article caught my eye and mentioned a few locations for potential wildlife viewing. We had already scouted a few places where we heard we might see some moose, but this new spot sounded much more intriguing. We brought a picnic dinner with us and on the way to the lakes we saw two cow moose in a small little meadow. We looked at each other, both thinking this might be good! We drove on and parked the jeep at a small picnic area. There were a few people already there and after a short conversation our excitement and expectations began to grow.
After picnicking (and getting the shot "Hey - I like Cheetos), I got my heavy duty gear out of the jeep and proceeded to set up by the lake. A couple of folks stopped by and after the obligatory "that's a big camera!" comments (actually its a big lens, but i digress...), we settled in. It didn't take too long before someone said "THERE:S A MOOSE!" and the fun began. The two cows we had seen before made their way down to the lake and proceeded to feed on the plants in the water. They were soon joined by a third, smaller moose that may have been a couple year old calf. Most of the tourists lost interest after a few minutes (maybe it was the mosquitoes?) and soon there were only a couple of us left. Too bad for them as the three were joined by a small bull in velvet who interacted with the other three and also ended up in the lake feeding. As the moose fed, the brook trout in the lake put on quite the show as an evening hatch pushed them into a feeding frenzy. We sat and enjoyed the moose's company for about an hour before my backside started getting sore from sitting on the rocks. We packed up the gear, smiling the whole time at what we had just witnessed. On the way out, two more moose were heading in making a grand total of six.

One of the most addictive and beloved destinations I've had the pleasure to visit many times. And hopefully I will return often again.
The afternoon sun illuminates the outlet of this special lake. A couple other gawkers join me taking in this impressive view.

On the memorable day when my first Tair-11A arrived ... I'm so stupid, I should finally put it back together!

There is something especially uplifting about a magnificent sunrise--all that vibrant glory to enjoy, while the promise of a new day still beckons--and it's all the more memorable, and moving, when a dawn like this coincides with the good fortune of being in a place of uncommon beauty like Monument Valley, Arizona.
Though years have passed, I still remember this morning well. It was early in the week on one of the first dedicated photography road trips I'd put together with friends. And it was cold, very cold--well below zero Fahrenheit--and colder still with the wind. In the earliest twilight, we could see hope in the cloud structure, and that kept us from retreating to the warmth of our hotel rooms.
A thin layer of golden tones appeared at the horizon, and we felt warmed from the gusts when we saw the first splashes of pink alighting on the clouds' lowest ridges. A faint haze appeared in the valley, perceptible as a bit of light scatter wrapping around Merrick Butte. Soon we noticed the light snow on the valley floor taking on the rich hues of the erupting show in the sky above. More and more clouds streaked in rose hues, rising further and further from the horizon until color filled the frame above the silhouetted Mittens.
The persisting grandeur lured more people from the nearby hotel's heated comfort, and before long a hardy cadre of off-season travelers joined us there on the ridge to share the spectacle. We wandered around taking it all in, brushing the ice off our tripods and cameras as it accumulated, and happily snapping away despite the strange sounds our cameras' internal workings were making in the extreme cold. We were ecstatic, though perhaps not yet fully appreciative of how sporadic these truly grand light shows would prove to be in our travels (particularly in the dryer regions of the southwest), and how rarity makes the already memorable even more so.
Thanks for viewing!
I am a lover of Steam Locomotives. I never took the coal smoke as annoyance, rather enjoyed and traveled, though my dress got coal dust, in my younger years of age. The chuck ckuck sound was lullaby to me during night travels.
When I started photography in middle 1980s steam engines were almost withdrawn and replaced by Diesel and Electric Locomotives.
Hence no chance of capturing them on the run.

A memorable evening at Elgol where conditions were constantly changing as Storm Dennis barreled across the Isle of Skye. We were treated to ever changing conditions, including a rising tide, gale force winds, driving rain, hail pellets, snow, grey skies, broken clouds, flat light which was often quickly followed with moments of gorgeous golden hour light.
We were a group of 7 togs dashing about capturing as many images as we could, in conditions we had only dreamed of before. For some reason, a majority of us eventually ended up at the JCB (Joe Cornish Boulder) . . . fortunately we all ‘played well’ together and sharp elbows were rarely needed. In the distance can be seen the snow capped Cuillins.
I flew from Minnesota to spend nearly a week with 5 friends/togs on a winter holiday on Skye. I even got the opportunity to meet and shoot with SkyeWeasel.
This was the end of my first day on Skye, as I was walking back to the car in darkness I thought to myself how lucky I was!

During the Thanksgiving break a few years ago, I got word the SP heritage unit would be leading CSX Q684. After dutifully clearing the house of all family members not permanently connected to a couch, we headed out in search of. First catch of the chase was at Pait, IL, named for the two railroads that once interchanged here, Pennsylvania and Illinois Terminal. The overhead crossing now hosts a bike path.

Actually its not a great shot but this trip was very memorable and my first use of sony camera which I bought couple of days before this 5 days vacation in HK. ^_^ (too long to tell stories, the rest is all in my head!) :D
An image from the May 8th, 2016 aurora that was a huge solar storm at about KP7. A very memorable night! I took this image at Gap Lake looking south at around 12:05am with the aurora over Mount Lougheed. I pointed my camera south just curious how far south the aurora went, plus I wanted to get the aurora over a notable landmark mountain. When I did the aurora storm was pulling back a bit (as in calming down) and that is usually when STEVE will show up to the party. Got a little blue (center) and a picket fence with the purple colored aurora known as STEVE which was the nice surprise visit. Along with STEVE was the standard green aurora and throw in a meteor streaking by Jupiter....why not! STEVE appears as a purple and green light ribbon in the sky that comes with an aurora that looks like a picket fence (coming in from the center right). Always blows my mind what you see when you look up into the night sky. A little about STEVE, short for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement, is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that was only discovered in June of 2016 by an Alberta scientist and citizen scientists from the Alberta Aurora Chasers facebook group. Discovered in late June 2016 by Brian Jackel of the University of Calgary who found a wispy arc resembling a Steve-like feature in the overnight data from one of the university's redline cameras. Donovan asked the Alberta Aurora Chasers on Facebook if they had observed Steve on that night. The group looked into it more and found other images of the STEVE phenomena. Here is more info on it from NASA, www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2020/citizen-scientists-help...
The sunlight was strong in a deep blue sky, making some fantastic reflections and patterns on the water in the flooded gully. As I stood looking at it, a flock of wild geese flew overhead. I heard the geese before I saw them. The sights and sounds combined created some very memorable moments for me.
Memorable Highlight.
I've always been fascinated by the big cats, and when the opportunity presented itself, I captured as many frames as possible. The leopard was quite calm and relaxed, before he vanished into the bush.

This sunset over Its Beach, in Santa Cruz, was the most colorful of any sunsets that I've ever shot. As I shot dozens of images I kept telling myself 'no one would believe a phograph with this color!' I significantly reduced the saturation level when I processed this image.
One of the bestest ever memorable trip to Faisalabad for the national inter-university swimming championship !! my younger brother and his team participated in the day times and then the whole of the crew with me to explore the city and the things it had to offer to us with respect to places, monuments or food.... !! this was the place where we enjoyed Goli wali ice cream, their pop daal chawals, Jani Pan Shops special pan, and no wonder something special and God knows wat more :) !
Took this image on a tripod, for a change, for 30 seconds exposure !! was again too laxy to take another shot as the rest of the crew started cursing me :) there was no light and the glow is cuz of the traffic passing by :)
