Last year when I was in Deadvlei, we had some cloud cover, which made climbing Big Daddy much easier, but it also made Deadvlei look a lot different than the "typical" pictures I had seen from there.
Big blue skies, contrasty red sand with white salt ground, they didn't have the same pop/effect when the sky was covered in clouds. So it was fitting that this year, although climbing Big Daddy seemed more rigorous, the conditions for Deadvlei were ideal for capturing the idyllic images I had seen from this place so many times.

My photograph of a natural Australian outback landscape captured in an area called the Living Desert State Park, New South Wales, Australia, just near the famous sandstone sculptures mentioned below. On the skyline to the right is the city of Broken Hill.

The Living Desert is nestled amongst the Barrier Ranges and is located 12km from the City of Broken Hill. It is a unique 2400ha reserve which was established in 1992.
On top of the highest hill inside the reserve are the 12 sandstone sculptures, created in 1993 by a group of artists from all over the world, which are now one of the top attractions in Outback NSW and a visual representation of Broken Hill's marriage of art & nature.

A panoramic image of three photographs I captured that I stitched together in Photoshop of the vast Australian outback, red dirt, gum trees and other desert vegetation heading toward Broken Hill NSW from South Australia.
The red earth or dirt was amazing and so many dead trees due to lack of water.

Looking northeast toward the town of Page and Lake Powell. Early the next morning, this same area was literally hopping - rabbits were busy around every bush. At one point, I counted six within a few feet of me; there were probably more, but it was still too dark to see clearly. It appears that the local coyotes have not been doing their job
Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park is located on the Navajo Nation, one of the largest American Indian tribes in the USA. This red-sand desert region on the Arizona-Utah border is known for steeply sloped Mittens buttes. The park is frequently a filming location for Western movies. Print Size 13x19 inches.

The lone tree is a photographer’s delight. Loved the sharp lines created by the play of shadow and light in Namibia.
I don't usually like non-family in my landscape photos but I thought the various tourist behaviors on the edge of horseshoe bend were pretty interesting and added an interesting element to this often photographed place. I had some foreigners ask me to take some pictures with their cameras from where I was seated on the edge of the rim because they were too scared but wanted the shot. They didn't even want me to take pictures of them. That was also kind of interesting.
I took this photo while visiting Prince Edward Island National Park in the Cavendish area. The rich red earth of the island contrast withthe early autumn greens and yellows of the surrounding grasslands.
Photo taken with the Olympus OM-1 and M.Zuiko 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3.
The Maunsell Forts are towers built in the Thames (and Mersey) estuaries during the Second World War to help defend the United Kingdom. They were operated as army and navy forts, and named for their designer, Guy Maunsell. The forts were decommissioned during the late 1950s and later used for other activities including pirate radio broadcasting.
There are seven towers in the Red Sands group at the mouth of the Thames Estuary. The towers had been connected by metal grate walk-ways. In 1959 consideration was given to refloating the Red Sands Fort and bringing the towers ashore but the costs were prohibitive.
During the early 21st century, in response to proposals to demolish the fort, a group named Project Redsands was formed to try to preserve it. It was the only fort that could be visited safely from a platform in between the legs of one of the towers. The fort was inspected by the structural engineering company Structural Repairs in 2021. They found that 6 of the towers had severe structural defects, with elements already lost to the sea, the 7th tower also had the same defects, with elements due to imminently fall into the sea. The fort could not be accessed safely in its present condition.
Commentary.
Due to early British Geologists like William Smith
Geological epochs were largely named after British counties, islands or mountain ranges, for example, Devonian, Lewisian or Cambrian periods.
Here, the red soil, derived from Devonian Old Red Sandstone
is evident in Peak Hill Cliff, to the west of Sidmouth.
An idea of scale is aided by the person visible on the beach.
In the distance High Peak Cliff, with Big Picket Rock below it, is clear.
Ladram Bay curves away beyond these landmarks.
With Salcombe Hill to the east and Peak Hill to the west,
views of Sidmouth are plentiful and spectacular,
thus, it is a highly favoured seaside resort.
This image shows the surviving six of seven towers: one was destroyed in 1963. Before he tried to make British politics more fun, the late Screaming Lord Sutch started up his own radio station here in 1964, as the BBC refused to play his records. The eponymous Radio Sutch did not last long, before Radio City took over.
Monument Valley is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line.
The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, within whose reservation it lies, the Native American people of the area. Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s.
