Ink and ecoline ink on paper. The Risk of ships running aground in dangerous locations is reduced by lighthouses. Living there is in itself a risky business. This is Þrídrangaviti lighthouse off the coast of Iceland.
The avenue of Giant Redwoods at Benmore Botanic gardens are very special but maybe at risk due to climate change and disease so the team at the Botanic Gardens are currently doing some great work to try to save them, which means that for now you can't walk down the middle of the avenue. Visible from Space, well very obvious on Google maps and even Flickr's hybrid map.
Nonetheless these are spectacular trees that have been here for over 150 years, through all kinds of weather and storms including the 1968 hurricane that hit Scotland, the most powerful storm ever to hit the UK in the modern era but which hardly ever gets a mention.
According to the Royal Botanic garden Edinburgh web site, "The Redwood Avenue, planted in 1863, provides one of the best entrances to any botanic garden in the world. The Sequoiadendron Giganteum are now 50 m high but mere youngsters at 150 years old. The oldest known giant redwood reached 3,500 years according to the ring count."

This is a name I bombed heaps in the 80s but have never pieced until today. This was fun. Big love to my crews RFK, FAL, DIA, MG and SSB. Sorry about the shitty photo.
Risk to benefit analysis…
It isn’t just the human population who is sick and tired of all the rain over the past year and a half. In this shot a tree frog basks in the afternoon sun atop a neighbors metal pipe clothesline at camp.
Normally a master of camouflage, his guy must have decided that there are things worst that death and that having his belly on that warm pipe, totally exposed to any predator that may pass (even old guys with micro lenses in his face) was worth the risk to have a day in the sun.
I guess we take the same level of risk every time we load up the RV and head down I-65 for a 12 hour drive with crazies all around, just to feel the warmth of sand between our toes.
To the tree frog, I understand.
A pair of self portraits of sort. Too hot to risk the film outside, so the simple indoor subject emerged.
And the day came
when the risk to
remain tight in a
bud was greater
than the risk it
took to bloom.

Over the past couple days I've spent some time in beautiful Kelowna to hang out with friends Jed and Lexy and do some creative shooting. Here's one of our collective efforts, and it might be an all-time fave.
This image took some risk to get to; we had to find our way down a really steep canyon (think ropes and ladders to get down it was so steep), but definitely ended in reward: it was one of the most incredible locations I've had the opportunity to photograph in, and conditions couldn't have been better. A rare, cloudy overcast Kelowna sky to help out the long exposures (this is a half-second effort), and just as we finished up and started out journey up and out of the canyon, the lightening and rain arrived.
A big thanks to Jed and Lexy for going the extra mile to make this shoot happen.

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Chalamain Gap filed 30ft deep with avalanche debris. This did not feel like a safe place to hang about taking photos; a steep slope of ice and snow that had not yet fallen stretched 200 metres further back behind me along the gap.
The crown wall of the avalanche can be seen on the top right off the photo, roughly 2 meters high, starting halfway through Chalamain Gap and continuing for 300 meters along the North East ridge.
Time to go.
