verb
to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counterinfluences, opposition, or discouragement
For the past two to three thousand years, this tree has been dug into this mountainside standing virtually alone as most of his brothers are located in a grove a bit further below. Standing bravely at an elevation of nearly 12,000 feet, I would imagine this tree has been buried under dozens of feet of snow, stood against 100 mph winds and endured horrible years of drought. And yet...here it still stood as I came across it last week on a scouting trip through the White Mountains with Greg Boratyn and Eric Gail.
I would say that perseverance is something that all of us need at the moment. We have a pandemic that some are predicting could last until next Spring...or beyond, an election that has people screaming at each other almost non-stop, and protests that have had people marching in almost every major city across our country. If you watch either side of the news for longer than a couple of hours, you really begin to feel like your head will explode.
Which makes it all the more amazing when you head off to the mountains and you come across something that has stood up against everything that nature has thrown at it for literally thousands of years. Suddenly you begin to feel like the end of 2020 is really not that far off. I was just watching an old episode of "The West Wing" tonight and the phrase that jumped out at me was "The things that unite us are far greater than the things that divide us" which, after snooping around, seems to be a quote from the late John F Kennedy. In spite of all evidence to the contrary, I'm hoping that this quote is still true today. And in spite of a pandemic, a contentious election and nightly violent protests...our country and its people will persevere.

On our way back from visiting Digerhuvud rauk area at Fårö, Gotland we came upon this lonely pine-tree near the shoreline. The mist lay thick over the sea covering the sea stacks and hiding the swells from the water. It was a misty and mysterious time. It was Fårö showing it selves from one of many beautiful sides.

A week ago it got as cold as -8C with about 25 cm of snow on the ground. Today with temperatures above 9C and the snow rapidly melting these mushrooms survived.
Just like the snail....Persevere, no matter how slow it goes!.......It is said that Edison failed 3,000 times or so before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.
What it boils down to is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison
This shot is dedicated to Max and Emma who found this snail in their garden and came running in the house yelling...."Aunt Debbie...Aunt Debbie....get your camera there is a snail in the garden on the okra leaf." Thanks Max and Emma for making life so much fun! I love you! Aunt Debbie : )
Tiny Trout Creek has managed to carve a massive canyon through solid rock. This gorge lies below the Kettle Valley Trestle Bridge.
There have been several accidental deadly falls into this gorge from the bridge in the last 20 years.

Perseverance: continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition : the action or condition or an instance of persevering : steadfastness
I'm not sure of the age of this Ponderosa Pine...150-200 years, perhaps? It's growing in a sandstone canyon. Seen on a hike in the Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. While not as spectacular as Antelope Canyon, the slot canyon that runs through the monument is awe inspiring.

An image from last weekends fog in a local estate.
I have had this shot in mind since the start of lock down and out running with my wife Tory. I knew I needed fog to hide the background and last weekend is the first proper fog in 10 months. Shot with a 45mm tilt shift and 10 images stitched in ACR
Hope you like the image and please feel free to add any thoughts you have.

It's been quite sometime since I woke up at 4 am to go out for sunrise photo. It's always a guessing game. The fun part is when the pitch black sky starts to give way to slight hues of orange. I'll never get tired of it.
Our perseverance is a gift from God. In our salvation, God blesses us with assurance through His gift of perseverance (2 Thessalonians 3:5). However, many Christians lack full assurance of their salvation because their understanding of assurance is founded on the constantly changing emotions of their hearts rather than on the eternal Word of God. (Burk Parsons)
Even several days after being cut down and shoved into the yard waste can, with the leaves wilting, this one flower still shines on.
Selective coloring is a process I have long been fascinated with but not yet mastered. Here is another of my meager attempts at it.
Looking up the Stone Door in the middle of the path. The opening of the great Stone Door from the top is a 10-foot-wide but the steps are about 2'-3' long and 6"-10" wide and the stone path is quite narrow over 100-feet-deep crack in the sandstone bluff!
I decided I'd make may way down to the beach before work on Friday. This was certainly not a morning when everything went as I wanted but then again when does that ever happen? A look out of the window at 5:30AM confirmed the weather forecast was well wide of the mark as I surveyed a scene that provided little in the way of optimism. Still as I was up I made my way down anyway with a hit of rain in the air on a cold breezy morning. Next challenge was the high tide was not quite as high as I'd hoped rendering my intended subject to far up the beach. Still I had spied a large piece of drift wood close to the base of the cliffs and so set about manhandling it down to the tide line. Five minutes of struggle later and with the tide flowing nicely over the sand and around the log I had an image.
Getting this lighting was an accident. I was using a cereal box as a light modifier. I was going for a narrow slit of light and somehow got this. At first when I saw this on the back of the camera I was like what is going on here! And how the box was positioned. But as I was going through the photos I took, this caught my eye. I spent way to much time on this photo in post. I wanted to like it in color but it just didn't work. I took a break, came back worked on this for two minutes and finally got something I love! Finally getting something to work, ahh that's what it's about.
There are lots of factors that need to be in sync for me to make the final decision to go out on a nightscape photography shoot. Last Friday night (Sept 11) those ducks were all in a row for me, as the saying goes. The weather forecast included cloudless skies; the Moon wasn’t due to rise until around 2:00 am on Saturday; the Milky Way would be in the western sky for hours on end, and I could sleep in once home and the daylight hours came around.
Despite all of that fortune, there were several times on my outbound trip that I found myself wanting to turn my car around and go back home. The gnawing self-doubt that assails me during most of my waking hours was once again urging me to give up, to head for home and to stop kidding myself that any of my photographs are worth looking at, let alone posting online.
After working on today’s photo, though, I’m glad that I pushed through. Being able to capture and share the beauty that I saw in the sky–and the wonders that only the camera can record–reminds me that perseverance often pays off. The Milky Way was very low in the southwestern sky over this man-made pond in the Jerrawangala National Park when I shot the two frames that I used to create the final stitched composite image. You can see the stretched reflection of the red supergiant star Antares on the muddy pond’s surface, with the star itself hovering over the eucalyptus trees in the distance.
I captured the two individual photos that make up this final image with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens @ f/2.0, using an exposure time of 13 seconds @ ISO 3200.
Standard mass produced line infantry rifle, made by the northern continent's Rivacheg Company, the steel as always forged in their own magma forges.
Starting the flesh out the setting, will probably do some brain storming to get a nice bit of info for the next one perhaps.
Nearing the top of the long slog out of the Sandouling open cast coal pit in NW China.
This JS 2-8-2 locomotive is kept in steam 7 days a week and hauls a 400 ton train from the loader to the washery and return approx once every 2 hours.
Her days are numbered as she approaches the end of her working life. With Chinas environmental programme this pit is due to close in April / May consigning the last five locos to the scrapyard.
Undertake your passage
in trust and innocence,
for such is the Warrior Way.
And at the end,
send heavenward
the feathered arrows
of your perfect faith.

Statue of the Buddha submerged within the roots of a Bodhi tree at Wat Mahathat (วัดมหาธาตุ พระนครศรีอยุธยา), Ayutthaya, Thailand. The Bodhi tree is a sacred fig tree species, as the Buddha attained enlightenment while sat under the Bodhi tree in 500 BC. Because of the symbolic role in Buddhism, the tree is also called the Tree of Awakening or the Tree of Enlightenment.
