Zion National Park in Utah, USA. This three mountain peaks go by the name of The Three Patriarchs, in reference to the Hebrew Patriarchs found in the bible (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob).
A welcome break from the newly introduced IC125s on the Paddington to Bristol and South Wales services in November 1976 saw D1053 Western Patriarch at the head of a Down Bristol service

I do still take daytime images. Here is proof. Can you find the crescent moon?

The road up to Patriarch Grove in the Ancient Bristlecone forest just opened, so we started the season out with a crazy, spinning, 3-axis timelapse move. I love that place. Seriously.

"Les vieux ça n'était pas original
Quand ils s'essuyaient machinal
D'un revers de manche les lèvres
Mais ils savaient tous à propos
Tuer la caille ou le perdreau
Et manger la tomme de chèvre"
"They said to one another, ‘Truly we are being called to account for our brother. We saw his misery of soul when he begged our mercy, but we did not listen to him and now this misery has come home to us.’ Reuben answered them, ‘Did I not tell you not to wrong the boy? But you did not listen, and now we are brought to account for his blood.’ They did not know that Joseph understood, because there was an interpreter between them. He left them and wept."
– Genesis 41:17-24, which is part of today's 1st reading at Mass.

My fixer exhausted on this roll. I threw the film back in and sloshed it around a bunch, but you can still see feint sprocket streaks in the sky on this image.
More to come... one more 35mm then three 4x5's. Probably gonna post one a day since several of my groups allow only one photo per day.
Ancient Bristlecone Pine Natural History
I'd like to try capturing this one on 4x5. I know the general area where I took the photograph, but since I went off-trail for most of the roll, I'm not exactly certain of the location.
I love these old woodlands and what caught my eye here was the contrast between the decaying old tree stump and the younger saplings all gathered round - like young braves hanging on every word of wisdom coming from an elderly tribal statesman.

Homer: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who traveled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy.

The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
Court of the Patriarchs, framed by a large cottonwood tree, in Zion National Park. Photographed in September. The three peaks on the right form the Patriarchs--"Abraham", "Isaac", and "Jacob". (Scanned from 6x7cm Fujichrome transparency film; file #: Zion-Court-of-Patriarchs_SZIO0592.jpg)
Along the Sand Bench Trail in Zion National Park, this bridge crosses the Virgin River and offers spectacular views of the area known as the Court of the Patriarchs.
“The Ark” project was the first attempt of mass colonization of planets outside Solar system. But it was just partly successful. Only third parts of all ships established proper colonies. Some gossips say the real purpose of project was just to get rid of excess population. A few years after the last launch of Ark revolution in hyperspace travelling happened. New hyperdrives were more powerful, faster, reliable, cheaper. So it was possible to establish regular supply lines between new colonies. So there was no need in looking for an ideal world. Colony can be founded everywhere near the source of some valuable resource.
New colonization project was called “Legacy”. It was based on fleets of smaller ships instead of one huge ship as before. “Patriarch” spacecraft was designed to carry fast deployable modules of a new colony. Habitats, industrial facilities, power plants. Everything that is needed to start building. All modules can function on the surface of planet and in space. At first group of engineers constructs small outpost on the planet, builds foundations for landing modules, and after that they are dropped off the orbit. They have their own engines for soft precise landing. Ship’s reactor can also be used as a power plant of settlement. In this case ship stays in orbit and will be deconstructed in future.
Last, but not the least. Big problem of the Ark was in its colonists. It’s very hard to keep billions of people alive in cryosells. Patriarchs have incubation facilities onboard and huge stock of genetic material. The idea is to grow most of population of a new colony artificially. DNA can be modified to provide better adaptability in case of hazardous environment. Moreover, by default all defects, random mutations and genetic illnesses were deleted from genetic material. Should I say it had serious consequences in future?

Been a while since I've shot anything under the stars it seems. I've always found it difficult to get a view point of all three patriarchs without having A LOT of trees in the way- i think this is one of the better spots. This shot is 121 images stacked with each image at:
ISO 500
f/3.5
30 second exposure

Tokina 11-16
Moon was nearly full
This old male ruled over a herd of around 30 ibex ..
Strangely it had no necklace. A large part of the adult ibexes of the Bargy Chain have an identification necklace, put by the French Office of Biodiversity (OFB), in order to monitor their health in relation with the spread of brucellosis disease, largely affecting the local ibex population, with a risk of contamination of local cattle.
On the Park shuttle early morning, wonderful time to get a shot of The Three Patriarchs from the observation point. Such a beautiful morning we walked to the next stop.
So many stars and so little time. I took two different week-long trips this year to shoot night skies. On this trip, I and my two adventurous friends set out searching dark skies along California's Eastern Sierra. The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is actually to the east, in the White Mountains, and The Patriarch Grove is at the end of the gravel road 11,000 feet high. Turned out we were not alone that night - we shared the mountain with a weekend workshop of stargazing photographers plus a few others. And it was a lovely pleasant quiet night at that high elevation - it could have been windy and bitterly cold.
Tech stuff: Plenty of planes flew through this 100-minute exposure sequence but they're thankfully mostly lost in the star trails. Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 14mm F2.8L at F2.8, ISO 2000, 30sec x 194 exposures, stacked with Startrails.exe.

I edited this photo from last night to tonight to remove a pesky plane trail. After sleeping on it I decided I didn't like the plane at all and some offline advice firmed that up.
Unfortunately my replacement upload removed all prior comments and my responses to them....

I've parked about 3 miles south of the Lodge and just north of "The Three Patriarchs". With the help of a flashlight, I've walked down to the bank of the Virgin River and find a spot that looks promises in both directions in regard to formations. A sat and waited. About 8:00 am, the sun began to lighten the sky above the formations to the north.
