Point Lobos State Natural Reserve has often been called “the crown jewel” of California’s 280 state parks.

In my opinion, this is the best overlook in America. By this time of the morning, the canyon wall were catching enough sun to reflect in the river below.
After getting stuck in traffic on I-20 East, I found myself way further behind the KCS L-BC202-10 than I had wanted to be. Speeding ahead of it on Hwy 164 into Sibley, I made a swift right hand turn, parked it on the bridge, and took the shot. I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. The engineer has the three GPs in throttle as they enter Sibley, Louisiana with 31 cars of interchange traffic for the Louisiana Southern in Minden.
Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.
Bryce Canyon National Park, a sprawling reserve in southern Utah, is known for its crimson-colored hoodoos, or spire-shaped rock formations. The park’s main road leads past the expansive Bryce Amphitheater, a hoodoo-filled depression lying below the Rim Trail hiking path. It has overlooks at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point and Bryce Point. Prime viewing times are around sunup and sundown.
Two years ago in early November I bought my current and first DSLR camera. I had not done any night shooting prior to my coming to the annual lighting of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse's Fresnel Lens. I was a nervous wreck trying to get set up, and a fellow photographer even attempted to sabotage me by telling me to do things that made my shots worse.
I came away that evening with a decent shot, but because I used a high ISO a very grainy shot. Well, it's been two years and they re-lit the lens tonight and I was able to try getting that shot one more time.
I met some wonderful people and got to hang with my friend Paul and even saw another flickr contact I haven't seen in a while.
It was a fantastic evening!
Nash Point lighthouses, the 'high light' is shown near right, the foghorn building centre-left with the remains of the 'low light' behind it. The extensive complex also includes keeper accommodations and early radio facilities. Some of the buildings are now holiday lets and weddings are hosted here.
This is a two shot hdr panorama of Mt. Borah (12,662 ft., 3859 m), Idaho's highest peak. The line at the base of the range is a scarp or scar which occurred along a major fault, 26 miles long and 7 miles deep. The most recent earthquake occurred on Oct.28, 1983 and was 7.3 on the Richter scale and was felt for over 500 miles.
As a result of this quake, Mount Borah rose 10 inches and the valley sunk 9 feet! New springs and craters or "sand boils" erupted in the valley resulting in the largest deluge of water ever recorded after an earthquake in the United States, some 400 billion gallons of water, gushed forth!

This is a lighthouse on Lake Huron that was restored just recently. I took a picture of it in winter last year and then went for this shot in September. They really did a nice job of fixing it up. It was encouraging to see.
Well, how would you look at Osborne House, the private residence Victoria and Albert had built for themselves around 1850 and in Italianate style on the Isle of Wight? A place of calm where they would recover from the strenuous business of being Queen and representing the royal and quite imperial first family of what then was a world power. I find the boar, this symbol of wilderness and ferociousness (the pig, profoundly unacceptable in some traditions), quite adequate. After all, imperial rule and colonialism were brutal in essence. But then, you would perhaps expect me to say this because I am an old republican. In this matter, one can have many points of view. Fuji X100F.
A night hike led me to this view of the sandstone formations at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. In the gulch the eroded ground was very hard as if packed by a steam roller. The mounds of sandstone are off limits to hiking. So with respect to the land, I snapped some panoramas from the gulch. The moon wasn't due out for another 2.5 to 3 hours, and the wind was picking up. It was getting colder and I was getting hungry.
A 5 shot panorama of the foreground with a 12mm ultra wide lens, and 10 shot panorama of the night sky shot at 28mm (DX) lens. The sky was shot at Mojave National Preserve in April 2017. The main foreground was shot in December 2015. Edited in Lightroom, auto stitched in Microsoft ICE, and layered in Corel Paintshop.
On a clear night in Death Valley a lot of stars appear after twilight. Even in Dec when most of the Milky Way is below the horizon, it's sill visible going across the sky.

Thanks for viewing.
