"You need to guard your light, your peace and your joy is yours to protect" (Nabela Noor). With all that is going on sometimes it feels there is a lot happening all together. There is this feeling of drowning. Sonic and I were talking about how important it is to protect yourself and make time for self care in middle of all this chaos. So we will be doing a few pics that shows some self care or things we love to do.....hoping it inspires others. This photo make me feel warm and cozy, it reminds me of a vacation home.
Here is to all my friends...will you take up the "guard your light" challenge.

White Pocket Mountain from my very "private" trailhead during sunrise (5:36 am).
I was there alone years ago and was afraid I would get stuck in the deep sand. So I parked my SUV above the critical slope that leads down to the official trailhead and hiked across country to White Pocket for about 20 minutes. In the morning around sunrise I had this beautiful view of the mountain, glowing in the first light from above.

The exif data has a wrong aperture; it should read f/5.6. The 58mm ought to read 60mm. I will try to fix...
Reminder: In January 2022 I asked for help, and a Flickr support hero removed both of my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed ;-)

These are some of the namesake white sandstone formations of White Pocket, in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, northern Arizona
There are so many facets to White Pocket. This is another composition from a recent trip. I tried to use the lines in the rocks to pull you into the image.
Walking through the narrow alleys of Plaka , we often see open doors leading to small courtyards. As in all the Greek islands, villages are built with the well-known defense architecture, so everything is small, but organized with the wisdom of long-term practice and experience. Plaka, Milos Island, Greece.

The landscape in White Pocket NM is surreal. This area is part of the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument. I don't mean to over-use a cliche description, but it truly is like another planet. There are so many oddly shaped rock formations that it can be hard to choose what to shoot.
In this composition I elected to put a human into the frame to provide a sense of scale and drama. In my opinion this seems to portray a feeling of loneliness. Man vrs nature is one thing, but man vrs this odd environment makes it feel that much more alone.
Expect more images form this unique place for sure.
Since I no longer wear three piece suits, this timepiece has not seen much use. Just pulling it out of the drawer gives me a smile in remembrance of earlier times.
We're don't know which side of our families of origin took such loving care of this pocket watch through the years. The inscribed date on the inner cover reads April 1920.
I experimented with apertures, extension tubes, and focal points, and had a fine time while it rained. I had intended to add it to Macro Mondays last Monday until I noticed that I had entered an older macro two years ago.
Thanks for looking, and for your faves ;)
Wednesdays / Miércoles : Macro or close-up
Some call White Pocket in Arizona (almost Utah) a consolation prize to those who don't get lottery-picked for the Wave in Vermillion Cliffs. I do not agree. White pocket is an amazing place with so many fascinating rock formations that one could spend days shooting this location. The deep-sand road used to get there only helps keep the secret from those who don't know about this treasure. We spent hours there shooting several different formations, and we wish we could have stayed for days.
What? What's that you ask? Did I not get a lottery pick for the Wave? Well...I hardly think that's relevant, I will have you know that..Ok, no, I did not get a ticket- Ok! I did not want to see that stupid old Wave formation anyway, you can keep your stupid Wave- jerk!
White Pocket rules!
Here is another sunrise shot from my White Pocket trip.
There are so many great photo spots at this site! It belongs to the bucket list of any landscape photographer...

I've got a smartphone now, and I use the camera when I'm out and about. Then I realised it's been so long since I have used my Sony RX100, which used to be my 'go to' general camera. So I decided to bring it back into use! The original came out in 2012 and was a revolution in pocket cameras. And I'm pleased to say the quality is still all there!
Happy Monochrome Thursday 😊

White Pocket is NOT an easy place to get to. You have to WANT to go here. The drive is long and challenging, and then there is a small bit of a hike. Bring water.
But once there, the surroundings are incredible! One could easily spend the entire day here, exploring, climbing, and taking in the dynamic landscapes. As the light changes, so does EVERYTHING! Grey whites, sage green, honey golds, tangerine oranges, dry dirt brown, and Arizona reds-- the color palette is stunning. Definitely worth all the trouble getting here :).

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.
Lankin Dome (7684’ rises above the floor of Nolen Pocket in the Granite Mountains of Wyoming. An adjacent granite dome, Moonstone is visible over the ridge on the left side of the photo. The peaks are located in the Sweewater Rocks near Jeffery City, Wyoming. Geologically, these granite knobs are located in the Archean-age Sweetwater subprovince of the Wyoming Craton. These rocks represent a time when Wyoming was a separate microcontinent called the Wyoming Craton which existed 500 million years before the North American Continent formed. The Sweetwater subprovince has an east-west tectonic grain which is caused by a shear zone between the Sweetwater and Southern Accredited Terrane subprovinces along the southern edge of the Wyoming microcontinent.
Another sunset shot from my colorful visit to White Pocket.
I think the pale white brain rock nicely contrasts the color explosion in the sky. Unfortunately the pool was too soggy to really reflect the colorful sky...
Thanks for all your faves and comments. They are highly appreciated.
