This is an image I took last week from Picture Lake of Mount Shukasan at Mount Baker. The colors were amazing for this time of year and I apologize for posting an image that I am sure most people have but I had never been able to time the fall colors right until this year.
Right after I took this image I reached to grap a polarizeer out of my bag and as I let go of my tripod and camera it tipped over into the lake and completely submerged under the water. I grabbed it out of the water totally soaked and obviously the camera would not even start. So I went home took everything out and dried it for the last couple of days. Lucky for me the camera came back alive but in the meantime i went and bought another Canon 5D MK2 on the credit card because it looked like it was done for - anyways I was lucky !!!!!

A Rare whitebow or fog bow in a field just outside Penryn, Cornwall
Stunning to look at and damn difficult to capture
This 15 second exposure made sure i had enough light coming in through my 10 stop whilst ensuring the fog which was pretty thick was not blowing the highlights
As with all my images i am happy to talk about licensing or printed copies
I am not so happy to find them pinned to pintrest for the world to steal.
Please respect my wishes on this

(though it may not seem much to you ninja-flickrites out there, lol.)
the colour of the flower attracts me much.
I have clicked this image at very popular botanical garden ooty, Tamilnadu, india.

A mine outside of Røros in Trøndelag that was in production in different periodes from 1723 to approx 1940
Panther chameleons are zygodactylous: on each foot, the five toes are fused into a group of two and a group of three, giving the foot a tongs-like appearance. These specialized feet allow the panther chameleon a tight grip on narrow branches. Each toe is equipped with a sharp claw to gain traction on surfaces such as bark when climbing. The claws make it easy to see how many toes are fused into each part of the foot — two toes on the outside of each front foot and three on the inside.
Their eyes are the most distinctive among the reptiles and function like a gun turret. The upper and lower eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously; their eyes move independently from each other. It in effect gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision around their bodies. When prey is located, both eyes can be focused in the same direction, giving sharp stereoscopic vision and depth perception.

A shot from my archives, which I somehow forgot to post. Here is the Palace Hotel in the so-called 'Old Town Dubai', and as a bonus, the world's tallest tower in the background. Thanks to my flickr buddy arfromqatar who was staying in this hotel and who made that shot possible (as usual we had some issues with the security guard).
This is a digitally blended Vertorama.
This shot is dedicated to A Parisian Woman in KL for her great testimonial. Thanks again V! :-)

Meerkat at Makgadikadi Saltpan, Botswana
This one´s not as cute as those standing and scanning Meerkat shots. But for me, I like it most, as I was able to capture it at full speed nice and sharp.

I shot this in the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, just outside of Cheney, Wa. about 20 miles from Spokane. Fortunately the ice was thick enough to kneel on for the shot.
Canon 17-40 f4L 17mm f18. Still waiting for my split ND filter so I blended two exposures about 1 stop apart.
Mobius Arch - Alabama Hills
"Seeing It Through"
Here is one of those iconic spots in the Alabama Hills just outside of Lone Pine, California where you might be lucky if you have the place all to yourself. I did but only for a few minutes since I was first to leave the parking lot in the dark. This was taken a few years ago and now they have a trail that takes you right there, which makes it a much easier find in the dark.
Since I was there first I had spot right in front of the arch but I'm not one to sit in one place for long. This tight view comes working around other photographers in a small place with out the elbow room. I've met a couple nice photographers here that I still talk to every now and then. The mountain is slightly larger then most shots framed by the arch and it took a little extra effort to do that, if you're ever there you'll see why.

This photo was taken from the walkway just outside the dorm that I stayed in while in Chile. This was taken in the Huilo Huilo reserve in the Los Lagos region of Chile. This was the last night that we would be spending at Huilo Huilo before we were to head up north to Pucon. It was a wonderfully colorful evening that kinda reminded me of something that Thomas Kinkade would paint.
All said and done, this was a very beautiful area that I will always have wonderful memories of! Enjoy :)

Red Square (Russian: Кра́сная пло́щадь, Krásnaya plóshchad’) is the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod. As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, the Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia.

Eso es lo que parece decirle el Rey Sol a ese pequeño grupo de arboles en la Sierra da Estrela en Portugal. El momento a mi me parecio genial para inmortalizarlo y espero que tambien os lo parezca a tod@s vosotr@s.
Ayer he llegado a esta cifra de visitas que jamas habia pensado lograr, asi que quiero daros las gracias a tod@s vosotr@s ya que sois los artifices de ellas. GRACIAS
Mejor ver en grande
I loved the position of this particular flower, standing out in the crowd. With help of the smoke of someone's cigarette and purple flowers in far back, the whole thing turned out quite well.
I hope you'll like it!
The day I decided to go outside to take some photos was not quite bright. Business didn't let me watch the autumn around me much.... But then, when the night came, the lights of Moscow made some effect and transformed the view into magic.
The view from the bridge that I like a lot. Moscow, September, 2014.
Thank you for all your comments and favs.
WISH YOU A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

We had a wonderful walk with rampons on a glacier...........a unique experience.
Parque Nacional Los Glaciares is a national park in the Santa Cruz Province, in Argentine Patagonia. It comprises an area of 4459 km².[1] In 1981 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Its name refers to the giant ice cap in the Andes range that feeds 47 large glaciers, of which only 13 flow towards the Atlantic Ocean.
The ice cap is the largest outside of Antarctica and Greenland. In other parts of the world, glaciers start at a height of at least 2,500 meters above mean sea level, but due to the size of the ice cap, these glaciers begin at only 1,500m, sliding down to 200m AMSL, eroding the surface of the mountains that support them.
Swift River | White Mountains National Forest, NH
Although wind chill temperatures were in the single digits & I was all sorts of numb, exploring in the mountains was the perfect way to bring in the new year. While laying down on a giant river rock to get this shot of the final sunset of 2014, I couldn't help but to reflect on the past year -- it was a year of growth, on many levels. And with that growth, I am ready to take on 2015...it's going to be interesting, and I'm excited!
Happy New Year!! :)
I have been away from Flickr for a while and thought it was time to post a shot and check in. I am well....just incredibly busy with other projects that do not permit me to spend time reviewing and commenting on all my contact's beautiful work. Hope you understand.
This photo was taken yesterday outside our home. Schools of bait fish drew throngs of birds, mostly Snowy Egrets. This pair landed next to each other in some marvelous light.
I am looking forward to turning the clock back tonight and catching an extra hour of sleep! Happy shooting, my friends.

A Grey Heron, with a Pike lunch, which it did manage to eat but it did take some time.
I first saw the Heron acting strange in the stream, as if it was afraid of something as it jumped out onto the bank. Then a few moments later it jumped in and speared this large Pike. It walked up the Stream with it attached to it's beak but kept putting it into the water but holding it just under the surface. I know it is a fish but it looked like it was trying to drown it. Really strange, then it walked up the bank and slowly but surely ate the Pike head first. So the ferocious predator the Pike, became the dinner this time. That's wonderful nature for you.
Please view large by clicking on the image but watch that Pike don't get you.

The weather was so beautiful last weekend that we took a stroll down the lane to this pretty little woodland which is currently filled with bluebells.
Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on yesterday's blossom shot :)
Thank you Kietbull for drawing my attention to this relaxing piece of music entitled The Winding Path by Kevin Kern - someone I had never heard of before.
One from a couple weekends ago.... After getting lost for almost two hours trying to find the original place I wanted to shoot, I decided to drive down to Lacamas park to see how things were developing there. I was so psyched to end up where I did because this section of creek was absolutely carpeted with maple leaves. Of course the rain started on cue and I spent a half hour or so shooting and attempting to compose while holding an umbrella between my ear and shoulder, but heh, that made the whole experience all the better. It's good for the soul to be out there in crap conditions and realize you wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

Mandarin duck in the Palace Parc of "Het Loo"
The mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) is a perching duck species found in East Asia. It is medium-sized, at 41–49 cm (16–19 in) long with a 65–75 cm (26–30 in) wingspan. It is closely related to the North American wood duck, the only other member of the genus Aix. Aix is an Ancient Greek word used by Aristotle to refer to an unknown diving bird, and galericulata is the Latin for a wig, derived from galerum, a cap or bonnet.
Description
The adult male is a striking and unmistakable bird. It has a red bill, large white crescent above the eye and reddish face and "whiskers". The breast is purple with two vertical white bars, and the flanks ruddy, with two orange "sails" at the back. The female is similar to female wood duck, with a white eye-ring and stripe running back from the eye, but is paler below, has a small white flank stripe, and a pale tip to its bill.
Both the males and females have crests, but the crest is more pronounced on the male.
Like many other species of ducks, the male undergoes a moult after the mating season into eclipse plumage. When in eclipse plumage, the male looks similar to the female, but can be told apart by their bright yellow-orange beak, lack of any crest, and a less-pronounced eye-stripe.

A light snowstorm hit our area a little earlier than usual here in the beautiful San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado. I mistakenly thought it would still be snowing in the morning. I woke up and looked outside and was surprised to see a beautiful red sunrise just starting to develop. I then left in a panic mode and literally ran out the door in my pajamas and a sweat jacket with some old boots that hardly fit.
I knew I would never make it up to the peaks in time which are about a 20 minute drive up the canyon but I tried anyways. When I arrived, the sunrise was long gone but there was some nice misty fog still hugging the peaks with a little color still left in the aspens. I jumped out, set up my gear, and started firing away. As I was leaving to find another spot, a couple pulled up and her husband set up to shoot the same scene.
As he was taking shots, his wife came over to me and asked if I lived in the area. After a brief conversation I told her I had to get going to scout another location. They were from Kentucky so I knew they really didn't know where to look so I invited them to follow me to my next location. She yelled at her husband to come over who at first reluctantly wanted to join us but her persistence paid off. "He's a local professional photographer and said we can follow him to his next shot!" she yelled.
At that her husband loaded up his gear and they followed me to a beautiful outlook that showcased the fresh snow on the San Juan Mountains. After shooting this location I invited them to join me again later that evening for a sunset opportunity which required some climbing. This is the shot I have posted. God was really good to us as the saturation and sunset was incredibly beautiful that evening, the best I have seen it the entire year. Afterwards, I invited them over for dinner and we all had a great conversation and a new friendship was born. I love photography!
