The wide angle lens is the most often used, but also misused, lens in landscape photography. In my article I share with you useful tips for composing powerful wide angle images and I hope it encourages you to go out there and capture the beauty! Please feel free to read the article at this link. I hope you enjoy!
This image: It was one of those scenes I will never forget. We had hiked down into a deep lying river valley and then back up a steep ridge, when we were treated to the spectacle of fast moving rain showers which swept over spotlit black mountain ranges and outcrops, towering over the distant tundra. We found ourselves in one of the most breathtakingly dramatic landscapes, and experienced amazing scenes, but for me this definitely was the most memorable. The Peel Watershed, Yukon Territory, Canada.
I was walking through the Sydney Botanic Gardens at lunch today. A man noticed me taking photos and informed me there was a Powerful owl in a nearby, so I had to get a few shots.
Powerfully emotive bronze sculpture positioned at the front of the National Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney.
It is one of a pair, the other being The Offerings of Peace. Both by British sculptor Gilbert Bayes (1872 – 1953).
In 1915, after the outbreak of World War I, Bayes submitted to the National Art Gallery a pair of 18 inch bronzed plaster figures entitled Offerings of Peace and Offerings of War and the following year he received the commission to produce large bronze versions to flank the museum's main entrance. They were finished in 1923 and installed in 1926.
Both are allegorical sculptures. War holds a staff, a bundle of swords and broken spear shafts.
This statue stands 4. 2 m in height and weights 6 tonnes.

Lest he look too fierce, be assured this powerful dragon's only goal is to protect his lady fair, whom he has loved since he first laid eyes on her.

On this day there were a number of confirmed tornadoes. This storm in particular was continuously tornado warned for hours. I saw lots of rotation, many cool funnels, one tornado roping out, and one "thing" that was probably an unreported rain wrapped tornado. I was mostly following the storm from behind because I got off work late. When I got within a few miles of the tornado near Bayard, I heard on the radio that the tornado was rain wrapped, so I did the safe thing and turned around. Enjoy the sick mammatus clouds! Clock time on the meta-data is wrong.

The Powerful Owl is the largest owl in Australia. They have large yellow eyes and no facial-disc with adults reaching 60 cm in length. These owls are in Centennial Park Sydney. With two adults and two owlets, the owlets are the lighter fluffy ones.
The Hengill area east of Reykjavík is one of the largest high-temperature areas in Iceland. The geothermal activity is connected with three volcanic systems in this area. The geothermal heat in Reykjadalur Hveragerði belong to the oldest system, called the Grensdalur system. North of this is a volcanic area named after Hrómundartindur, which last erupted about 10,000 years ago. The geothermal heat in Öldukelsháls is connected with this volcanic site.
West of these volcanic systems where this sunrise picture was taken too day lies the Hengill system, and volcanic fractures and faults stretch to the Southwest through Innstidalur, Kolviðarhóll and Hveradalur (Hot Spring Valley) and to the Northeast through Nesjavellir and Lake Þingvallavatn.

Still hanging in there
After a rainy night, we were alerted by a particular ruckus by the Choughs that frequent our front yard to the presence of this Powerful Owl in a low tree in our yard. Their outrage was well warranted as the owl had the dismembered carcass of one of their family in its talons. We've heard these birds often at our place at night but this is the first time we've seen one on our property. And I have never been closer to one as they are usually in higher trees when I do see them. Very exciting. Strangways, Vic. Dja Dja Wurrung Country

Love, even if momentarily and transient can be extremely transformational. A lot of the world issues could be solved with just a little love and lot of understanding.
