Taken on my visit to Gombe Stream National Park. This viewpoint is located mid-way up the escarpment seen rising on the left. To the right and a few hundred feet down is Lake Tanganyika. This very spot is where Dr. Goodall sat every day for about 6 months before she encountered her first chimpanzees. She could hear them in the forest. I was sent to train a couple of researchers stationed at Gombe where the chimpanzees were being monitored. I was giving instruction on how to identify internal parasites in the chimps as well as offer suggestions for their tiny electricity-less laboratory. This was part of a hands-off monitoring of these animal's overall health. Ascertaining the parasite loads and types were being evaluated to see if they correlated with disease or occult disease. The animals are monitored by trained trackers who know each animal individually. If any of the chimps showed signs of disease their feces could be collected and assayed for parasites. An increase or change in the numbers or types of organisms implies a challenge to their immune systems which could affect their overall health. Urine samples were collected from leaves in the morning after the chimps urinated upon waking up in their tree nests. This image was taken in February of 2005.

There are two or three runoff points for water from the Eucalyptus forested area which adjoin the rock shelf at Coal Point, Bruny Island. They make for extra colour where the lichens grow, and where the fallen strips of Eucalypt bark and leaves gather, complimenting the golden light on the neighbouring rocks. Grassy Point is in the background.
I was not familiar with this Bay area Icon until recently. While on a trip up to McClure's beach at Point Reyes National Seashore with Jean and Matt we spotted it and stopped to take some shots. We sky was heavily overcast and the light was pretty poor. I post-processed about 10 variations and had a very tough time settling on anything I really liked. I ended up with this single shot tone mapped image.

Sunset at Zabriskie Point was a bit of a bust, but some of the colors were nice in the soft light. #deathvalley
Grandview Point (looking east away from the falls) provides a distant view of the 308-foot Lower Falls. This place provides one of the most colorful views of the Canyon.

The beautifully restored lodge looks out on Klamath Lake’s Pelican Bay. It has the large white pelicans as well as terns ( Forster’s and black), ducks, geese, bittern, gulls, grebes, marsh wrens, swallows, martins, bald eagles, vultures, blackbirds (red-winged, yellow headed, brewers), cowbirds, (scaup and merganser) and one large water snake that is not supposed to be in Oregon.
Was not like the comics but it was amazing. I loved it and yes the ending was to good to be true. (no spoilers)
This is the South Eastern part of a small peninsula in my neighborhood called the Point. Great place to jog, stroll, bike or to grill.
This was taken RAW, originally using portrait mode and processed in ViewNX using Vivid. Then used Photomatix to HDR with one file. HDR'd enough to just get the layers of the clouds to stand out and bring the trees and steps out of silhouette. Somehow, the dimensions got a little larger. This was not intended.

In December, Autumn is finally over, and the Winter begins to take it's hold. The cold Westerly winds gather moisture as they blow across Lake Michigan, then begin to cover the state in a blanket of white. Here, along the shores of Lake Michigan, Winter unleashes it's deep freeze on the sands of Pyramid Point. A small beam of light breaks though the clouds, and slowly drifts across Lake Michigan.
After driving to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, I spent the night camping in the Platte River Campground. Luckily, I was able to get a campsite. Snow squalls which passed throughout the day created beautiful hiking conditions.

Been dying to see this place, and on my way back to Los Angeles from Santa Cruz, I made a stop and couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It has a very unique environment, which makes it thrive with life and one of the only places in California with water as blue as it is.
Point Pleasant, OH (Clermont County)
Point Pleasant was platted in 1813. A post office called Point Pleasant that was established in 1826 remained in operation until 1983. By 1833, Point Pleasant had about 130 inhabitants. The Ohio River flood of 1937 inundated the community.
Point Pleasant was the birthplace of U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant. The one-story cottage where he was born was taken by barge on a tour across the country, then by rail to Columbus, Ohio, where it was displayed at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. It was returned to Point Pleasant in 1936, where it has been restored with period furniture and opened to tours. (1)

Its Third Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1909, and has served as an aid to mariners ever since. According to the nautical charts, it casts its beam twenty-two miles out to sea six times a minute.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
After quite a few site visits and hundreds of frames, I finally managed to get a rather blurry record shot of a male Lesser Emperor photograph. It has been something of a bogey species. Somewhat surprisingly, I've never seen one in Europe. Some 20 years ago, I dipped on one near Burnley. Then last year, I eventually did get to see one in Dorset but no photograph of my own!
Unlike the closely-related Emperor dragonfly that seems to occasional hover, the Lesser Emperor keeps flying like a mad thing! However, perseverance and luck did eventually pay off. I'll take it!
NOTE : I have temporarily used a work-around to upload this photo. My usual method is still snafu.
After we rested from the Wahweap Hoodoo hike, we decided to try and find the point that I had seen in so many photographs of Lake Powell. We stopped in at the Big Water BLM Contact Station located just across the highway from Big Water and they knew immediately where I was describing. They even had a copy of a map and directions! I highly recommend stopping in there before you head out into The Grand Staircase or Glen Canyon Recreation Area.
The information specialist told us not to make too many stops because we would just have time to get to Alstrom Point before sunset.
It was a long drive and some of the roads were seldom travelled. They had rain earlier in the week so I was glad we had an all wheel drive small crossover rental car. As we approached the point, we found a small cleared area and it looked like the road continued up a small cliff. I now know that it's a mile hike from the cliff to the photography sites on the point.
I grabbed my camera bag and monopod and took off up the road over the small cliff and headed for the point. After walking for about 5 minutes, I was surprised to see other photographers had driven all the way out to the point.
We were well into the golden hour as I was walking and as the sun was nearing the horizon, I was picking up the pace. About one half way to the point the land began to slope down to the canyon and I could finally see parts of the lake. I could see the shadow from th near shore jutting out across the lake and so I started to trot.
I got to the cliff edge just as the shadow reached across the entire lake, ruining the shot. I was so upset. But then I noticed that the area in the shadow had taken on a pleasant, warm glow. I set the camera up and found that I had plenty of light and the trial shots looked great. By now the shadow had started to creep up Navajo Mountain on the eastern horizon so I decided to wait for the post sunset glow.
I'm glad I did. Clouds started to stream in from the west and I had to remind myself to stop staring in disbelief at what was unfolding in front of me and take the photographs.
This is my favorite wide angle of the set.
