An example of one of the many beautiful landscapes that the Svalbard archipelago has. Scene on a hike to the Austre Burger Bukta glacier.

Good to see so much water in the Big Sur River.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all. Take care and stay safe!

A small waterfall above the Armstrong Redwood Reserve in Sonoma County. Taken between storms and a week before the 5 year drought was declared officially over in northern California.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your visits, comments, awards and faves.
I am heading out for a couple of days to see the snow at Lake Tahoe -- hope to get one or two good photos to share.

Palette Spring is one of the first sections at Mammoth Hot Springs that one sees when approaching from the lower parking lot. The WoWs start here.
Pallette Spring:
"Water flows from a flat area and then down a steep ridge, creating a colorful hillside palette of brown, green, and orange (the colors are due to the presence of different heat-tolerant bacteria). This effect is much the same as an artist would achieve by allowing wet paint to run down a vertical surface." nps.gov
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.
Bushwhacking rarely disappoints. The road less-traveled serves up many positive attributes in my experience. If there’s no hiking trail, you can usually game trail that will follow the creeks.
Everywhere you look around the Grand Prismatic Spring there are interesting runoff patterns. Some day I'd like to be one of the lucky few to photograph this feature from the air which provides the most spectacular view.

Here's a shot from my first backpacking trip this year back in late June. There was still some snow up high but it was melting fast. Fast forward to mid-September and it's already starting to accumulate again at this elevation. Such a short window.
Big Cottonwood Canyon is fairly close to my mother's house, so it was perfect for a photo-shoot with my brother who's in town for about a week. It was a little windy so couldn't help but have slightly blurred leaves, but otherwise nice conditions.
Working the rocky area of Secret Beach, led me to this streaming perspective. It attracted me because of the leading line and distinctive contrasting relationship between dark and light. It is also rather indicative of the area in a very small way. The coast is again receiving the rain needed to fill Chapman Lake, which in turn supplies the area with fresh water.
However, there is no Dam to prevent the fresh water from running on down to the ocean. A major problem in the area, unused fresh water is a scarce resource to be valued, and if not used, is wasted.
This waterfall along the Chief Joseph Highway (WY 296) nearappears during the Spring runoff. Quite a bit of water this year, I don’t remember seeing water at this location during the summer. The water falls over till deposited by the Pleistocene Crandall Glacier.
Anastomosed runoff channels flow near the Back Basin Trail south of Porkchop Geyser in Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. This runoff drains into Tantalus Creek which is the outlet for most of the hot springs outflow at Norris. The green and brown colors are due to organism like cyanobacteria that grow in the warm, acidic, hot springs runoff.
Water from the melting Grinnell Glacier flows into Upper Grinnell Lake and begins it’s down hill journey into Grinnell Creek and down the valley's headwall in a series of falls and cascades totaling about 960 feet in height. Glaciologists have predicted all the glaciers in the Glacier National Park, including Grinnell, will disappear by the year 2030.

This waterfall along the Chief Joseph Highway (WY 296) appears during the Spring runoff. Quite a bit of water this year, I don’t remember seeing water at this location during the summer. The water falls over till deposited by the Pleistocene Crandall Glacier. At the falls the till overlies Archean granite and gneiss. After going over the falls, the water flows down the borrow pit of the highway.
These icicles were a small part of a massive group hanging over a natural grotto formed from groundwater seeps and surface runoff.
Found this area that had a separate stream from where Tumpenbach wasserfall is located. This one was toward the base near the wheel house. 47°10'29.6"N 10°54'08.2"E Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. :-)
The runoff from a hot pool at Fountain Paint Pots was a brilliant orange and yellow due to mats of algae and bacteria and not sulfur. The color is related to the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoid molecules produced by the organisms. The chlorophyll of the organisms here is low and thus the mats appear orange, red, or yellow.

Rain water streaming off Bidean nam Bian runs into the turbulent River Coe, Glen Coe, Lochaber, Scottish Highlands. I composed the photo to show all the beautiful S-curves in the water track.
