Well I finally got a Lenticular Cloud near Mt Rainier! Actually, this cloud was forming to the east of the mountain, but since I am on the west side shooting east, the cloud looks to be forming right above the mountain! I saw this driving from my house in Issaquah. I left around 4:00pm to get to the mountain. "Plenty of Time, " I thought. Heck no, traffic was a nightmare! It normally takes me about two hours to get to Mt Rainier from where I live, and where I had to stop, I was still an hour away!
Oh well, I needed to make the best of the spot I found. The location is actually "Dogwood Park," just north of the town of Eatonville. The park is located just off the side of the road next to this fantastic pasture and this spot totally worked for me! I wish I could have arrived about ten minutes sooner, as the mountain was really lighting up!
I returned to this location around midnight, as I had proceeded to Mt Rainier only to be turned around by a Park Ranger. They do not allow people inside the park due to potential avalanche danger. Well then, change of plans. I decided to set up shop above a little creek outside of the Longmire Lodge and shoot a time lapse video of the moon rise!
So After a while, I then returned to "Dogwood Park" and this great vantage point! I shot a cool time lapse of the swirling clouds and rotating stars by moonlight! I also captured the feeding habits of the horses in the pasture! I will post those later. I want you to be able to enjoy this!
This is a combination of three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I tightened the crop in Photoshop as well as ran through Topaz Adjust to bring back some detail. Highlight adjustments, noise reduction and slight added vignette added in Lightroom.
Thank you for your views, comments, and faves. I really appreciate them. I am starting to slow down a bit so that I can spend a little more time immersed inside your photostreams!

Another shot from one of the greatest mornings, i've had the pleasure to witness. (along with another 30 or so photographers!)
Finally, a few days off :-) When i looked outside the window this morning there were some deep red colors in the east. Time for grabbing the cam and after a short hike through the wetlands i arrived at the riverbed.
I wish my office was there...
Surrounded by the voice from hundreds of curlews and a nice fresh breeze in my face i thought: for me it's the perfect way to enjoy some free days.
The key for taking nice pictures is knowing your area, knowing the position from the sun to rise/set through the year. Discover your area at daylight and imagine sunrise/set sceneries where you go to when the moment is there.
I took about 150 images this morning and used the ND06 hard greyfiter.
Thanks a lot everyone for your nice reactions and faves through the year :-)

Un homenaje a los 189 años de la fundación de la República de Bolivia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
El 9 de febrero de 1825, el mariscal Antonio José de Sucre y Casimiro Olañeta, abogado de Chuquisaca y sobrino del mencionado general, convocaron a todas las provincias altoperuanas para reunirse en un congreso que debía decidir el destino de la nación.
Pero, el destino de la nueva república estaba sujeto a tres posibilidades que se abrían en el seno de la asamblea, proseguir la unidad con Buenos Aires, incorporándose al conjunto de las Provincias Unidas, mantener la adhesión al Perú reconociendo las medidas de incorporación dictadas por el virrey Abascal como resultado de la revolución del 25 de mayo de 1809 en Chuquisaca, o sostener con decisión la independencia absoluta del Alto Perú, no sólo con relación a España, sino también con referencia al Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata y al Perú. Tanto como el gobierno de Buenos Aires y el Perú admitían esta tercera alternativa, en cambio, Bolívar, si bien no desautorizó públicamente a Sucre le reprochó en carta privada esta iniciativa, pues entendía que alentar en ese momento un acto de soberanía de esa naturaleza, conspiraba contra los intereses de la Gran Colombia, ya que el territorio de la Real Audiencia de Quito podría pretender el mismo trato que la de Charcas.
El Congreso General Constituyente de Buenos Aires, por decreto de 9 de mayo de 1825, declaró que «aunque las cuatro provincias del Alto Perú, han pertenecido siempre a este Estado, es la voluntad del congreso general constituyente, que ellas queden en plena libertad para disponer de su suerte, según crean convenir a sus intereses y a su felicidad», despejando el camino a la independencia altoperuana.
Sucre, un tanto molesto por el reproche que le hacía Bolívar, después de demostrar sus razones, anunció que obedecería lo mandado, pero que también abandonaría el país, porque lo que se le ordenaba no compartía con su criterio, más al contrario, chocaba con su conciencia y comprometía la fe de su palabra.
Convocada nuevamente la Asamblea Deliberante en Chuquisaca, el 9 de julio de 1825, y concluida se determinó la completa independencia del Alto Perú, bajo la forma republicana, por soberana de sus hijos. Finalmente, el presidente de la Asamblea José Mariano Serrano, junto a una comisión, redactó el Acta de la Independencia que lleva fecha del 6 de agosto de 1825, en honor a la Batalla de Junín ganada por Bolívar.
El acta de independencia, redactada por el presidente del Congreso, José Mariano Serrano, en su parte expositiva dice en tono vibrante:
El mundo sabe que el Alto Perú ha sido en el continente de América, el ara donde vertió la primera sangre de los libres y la tierra donde existe la tumba del último de los tiranos. [...] Los departamentos del Alto Perú protestan a la faz de la tierra entera, que sus resolución irrevocable es gobernarse por sí mismos.

Rain and storm left few moments to stay outside but we used the few bright moments for a short walk. Even in the night.
The Wild Moor
One from the weekend and a snowy Alston Moor just outside the village of Nenthead in Cumbria.
I love this location, the grasses and the wall winding its way into the distance....beautiful but so bloody cold.

You gotta love slider Sunday. At least I do. It gives me a chance to take an image like this, dip it in Topaz, and poof, I get a cool shot..:)
I didn't make it to Fredricksburg after all..:( Maybe next month.
to my fellow Canadians....even though it looks like Christmas outside my window I'm thankful that I had at least 16 hours of Fall this year. Lucky i don't sleep in or i would have missed this shot. Don't let this warm shot decieve you because I'm actually standing on ice while taking it. My fingers were stiffening up...I guess they haven't adjusted to the Great White North yet. They were so cold i couldn't even flip Doc "the bird" if he was here.
Loch Lubnaig lies in the heart of the Trossachs and within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, an area of some significant beauty with a great number of hills, mountains and lochs. It is an area where it is so easy to enjoy many outdoor pursuits but on such a tranquil day as today, it really was nice to be able to appreciate the serenity that it offered.
Some Kitsch always proves to be going well these days. ;-)
Oh, and yes: "Orange and Blue" ... I get it.
But orange and blue also exist outside of Florida!
Live with it, folks! ;-)
For Sliders Sunday.

A shot taken outside the Adelaide Goal. This railway track has no barrier throughout so anyone can just walk onto the track but of coz not when the train is coming :P This track links to the main train station where maintenances or repair of the carriages are carried out.

The gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus), also spelled gerfalcon, is a bird of prey, the largest of the falcon species. It breeds on Arctic coasts and tundra, and the islands of northern North America, Europe, and Asia. It is mainly a resident there also, but some gyrfalcons disperse more widely after the breeding season, or in winter. Individual vagrancy can take birds for long distances. Its plumage varies with location, with birds being coloured from all-white to dark brown. These colour variations are called morphs. Like other falcons, it shows sexual dimorphism, with the female much larger than the male. For centuries the gyrfalcon has been a precious hunting bird, highly valued among the Vikings. Typical prey includes the ptarmigan and waterfowl, which it may take in flight. It has also been observed feeding on fish and mammals.
This is a juvenile male and part of a breeding program here in the UK. On the day of our visit he was being trained to hunt!

Great Blue Heron lines up dinner. Meanwhile the fish isn't too happy about what is transpiring.
It took about 10 minutes from capture to swallow - throwing the fish on the ground multiple times, spearing it multiple times, shaking it, getting it subdued, breaking its spine to slide down its throat easily, then positioning the fish correctly by throwing it in the air and catching it at the right moment, turning it, and then .... gulp!!
You can see the fish speared below.

I titled this image Irresistible because the original version is my most stolen photograph. A Google image reverse search will bring up hundreds of different websites where the image has been posted, mostly because of Reddit. In one night it received 60,000+ views. This post isn't about that though and I have collected some decent money from it's illegal use. It's just an interesting side story. Many non-photographers do not even think the image is real which is funny and sad at the same time. I have even been accused of Photoshopping in the plants in the foreground. If this one gets stolen and passed around like the original edit and you find yourself questioning the reality of a place like this...you need to get outside more. :)
Anyway, I really just wanted to give it a proper re-edit because I really do like the image. The processing of the original is terrible. I just posted the first of my 2013 workshops on my website, the ever popular Palouse workshop. All of my workshops next year are going to be smaller & more focused landscape photography workshops. In the coming week I will be announcing a Seattle Night Photography workshop as well as Columbia River Gorge, Oregon Coast, Washington Coast & Mt Rainier National Park workshops. If you are interested, check out the website!
Because of continuing interest in my upcoming Fall Color workshop, I have added a 2nd set of dates, October 20th & 21st. This 2nd workshop only has 1 spot left. If you are interested, please shoot me an email or register!

Beskrajna Radost:
U miru i spokoju osluškuj svoje srce i čućeš predivnu pesmu svoje duše, što nije ništa drugo nego radost koju tražiš svuda unaokolo, a ona je ustvari u tebi skrivena!
We made another trip to the sunflower fields after being skunked with the clouds last weekend. I used the windshield shade out of our car to reflect some light back on the sunflowers.
Heading out to American Canyon Wetlands I spotted this White-tailed Kite on this branch that I thought, maybe, he had caught a prey and was eating it...looks like I may have came a little late as he was 'giving me the eye' and flew off to a higher perch.
On Sunday this old boat was destroyed in a mindless act of vandalism on Dungeness beach.
This shot was taken last year and saly no one will now get to enjoy this boat any more.
EDIT - Thanks to info from Ziggy Stardust it looks like this particular wreck has survived however it doesn't make up for the loss of another.

This was taken from a pull out on the way to Hume Lake in Kings Canyon National Park. Last year this area burned for months from a raging wildfire. It burned thousands of acres of forest land. The smoke was covering both sides of the Sierras in this area. There were days in Fresno when you couldn't hardly walk outside it was so bad.
We couldn't drive back into the river area because of the snowy conditions and it is still closed from the fire. This vista shows a mostly bald mountain now. If you press L you can see a lot of dead pines looking like black toothpicks now. Mother Nature can sure show her mean side sometimes. On the plus side, all this snow will really help out with out drought.
