After a disappointing couple of days in Bryce Canyon, I moved on to my next location which was to be Kodachrome Basin National Park, which is located between Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase Escalante Region of Utah. I found a great site in the primitive campground at the back of the park, I think I like this campground better than the front campground because of the dirt road leading in to it. This prevents most RV's from attempting access and is a much more serene environment, although the front campground has free showers but they can be used by all visitors, so I seized the opportunity. :)
This is the Bryce View Campground and is named so because its view overlooks not just Kodachrome Basin but also Bryce Canyon, which can be seen here off in the distance with a spectacular sunset in progress. Wouldn't you know it, the day I leave Bryce the sky explodes over it. Bah!! I guess a fourth trip to Bryce is on the itinerary in the future. "If at first you don't succeed try try again" is what I was taught. :)
I found this tree just off of the dirt road that leads back to some of the more remote formations in the park. It sits perched atop a red stone formation and stands only waist high. I tried to get a POV and composition that portrayed this tree as much bigger and an alternate composition capitalizing on it's stunted nature. I ended up liking this one better.
I am considering this to be an FDR image "Full Dynamic Range." Not an HDR image. HDR is usually associated with software designed specifically for that purpose. The problem with these software solutions is that by the time you get something you like, they introduce strong haloing properties and unpleasant artifacts which give it a fake unnatural look. By blending exposures manually you control what aspects of each exposure will be included in your final result, leading ultimately to a "Full Dynamic Range" image. Maybe we can start differentiating the two different types of processes. Have you ever had someone ask "Is it HDR" I like being able to say "NO", then again, if they have to ask then I'm getting close to real looking FDR photos.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everybody!! :)

Wishing you all a healthy, prosperous, humane, civil, less chaotic and less cantankerous new year in 2021!
My latest blog article is a retrospective that has a very unintended and unfortunate title (since it's probably the last thing anyone would ever want to do!): "Yesteryear 2020 - One Last Look"
2021 is here at last!

♫ Same Mistakes ♫ - James Blunt
Immortality
by Lindsay Laurie
Mortal are us human kind
seeking peace with baited breath.
Immortality imparts the mind
to believe there is no death.
Immortality is really history …
writings from the then times wealth.
Replayed in a similar mode
as history repeats itself.
Each tiny fraction of the puzzle,
is ancient generations text,
leads the way to consider
what right now is needed next …
Each year reaches new horizons,
the past has been addressed -
and we live our life believing,
our time is the very best.

I just had to take a "panoramic picture" from today's mountain trip, which shows "my town" Bergen city and its surrounding landscape, mountains and islands. The picture is composed of 6 pictures taken by freehand and yes I know this is like "swearing in the church", but I deliberately did not bring the tripod with me today. Maybe next time...

November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.
~ Elizabeth Coatsworth

While outside in the backyard, I noticed the Gulf Fritallary Butterflies hard at work laying the eggs that will become the Agraulis Vanillae Catepillar. Eventually it will evolve into the Next Generation of Gulf Fritallary Butterfly.

It's December.
My friend from Boston comes next week. She does it each year to go with me to pick out a Christmas tree.
She's Jewish.
We bring it home, stand it up overnight and decorate it the next day while listening to Christmas carols.
Then we make a nice dinner and lift our glasses in a toast to goodwill toward men.
Goodwill to all of you, too.
