The shifting sand dunes in Death Valley, California shortly after dawn.
Hope you all have a delightful Weekend and new month!
Thank you for your visit and support. I'm not in much anymore, but will try to stay caught up. Sometime I'm not always able to comment, but that doesn't mean I don't love your photo!

Love for the few grains of land that have not been built on, pushes me forward.
enjoy my view: from Death Valley 2018
Early morning at Mesquite Sand Dune in Death Valley, photobombed by an unsuspecting model in a flowing outfit (upper right corner of the photo).
This is a fun photo where I took 9 images and blended them together to show the path 3 hikers took to descend from the tallest dune at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. The other point of photo was that it used my Tamron 150-600mm alpha mount lens with a Sony LAEA4 A to E mount adapter.
A pyramid-shaped mountain that is a lookout.
One of the beautiful attractions of the Black Desert is Pyramid Mountain, a relief form that shoot up from the ground much like a pyramids out of the desert. The mountain has symmetrical sides and a pointed peak.
This natural pyramid is just a few kilometers away from Bahariya Oasis. Locals call it Magic Mountain because of the way the light plays on the texture and material of the mountain during the different hours of the day. The golden colour of this rock is very attractive, especially in the later afternoon sun.
You can see it here:
Corolla, North Carolina on the Outer Banks does have wild horses, but this isn't one! I added this to my photo using Photoshop's new "generative fill". It worked pretty well, but if you look closely at the horse's mouth you will notice irregularities!
Die Lübtheener Heide ist ein rund 6.200 Hektar großes Nationales Naturerbe und EU-Vogelschutzgebiet in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Landkreis Ludwigslust-Parchim), etwa 40 km südwestlich von Schwerin. Der ehemalige Truppenübungsplatz ist heute Teil des UNESCO-Biosphärenreservats Flusslandschaft Elbe und beherbergt die größte zusammenhängende Sandheide Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns sowie eine der größten wandernden Binnendünen Deutschlands.
This was taken yesterday with Brenda after a few inches of rain in the dunes. I'm offline for the rest of the week.
Late afternoon hike along the West Beach Trail. On the other side of the sand dune are some smaller dunes, the beach and Lake Michigan.
Started reviewing the unprocessed images from our 2019 Utah trip and will begin to post some of them. These ancient colorful sand dunes are 190 million years old and consist of high-angled cross-bedded sandstone. It's a great place to climb and explore on foot.
Another shot at Hirtle's Beach, Nova Scotia. It offers great views along the shore and out to sea. Gaff's Point in the distance is a good hike as long as you watch the tides.

Having miss timed the sunrise and on hands and knees on the water edge, it was a long half hour wait. I used a 6 stop ND to smooth the water a little. Powlett River just behind the sea entrance
Another shot from Namibia.
One of the highlights of our trip to Namibia was visiting Sossusvlei, a pan in the southern part of the Namib desert where some of the surrounding dunes have been carved by the wind into these iconic shapes.
Immediately west of Delicate Arch, there is this natural amphitheater known as a "panhole", set in an area of sweeping mesas with rich red-to-orange colored sandstone. This view here, looking to the South, was itself worth the 1.5 mile hike up to the most famous arch in the park. Note the distant sand dunes in the upper left background. To get some idea of how immense this basin is, find the intrepid photographer in the bright teal shirt mid-left in the frame of the photo. In order to get his shot of Delicate Arch to the left of this photo, he's standing near the edge of a cliff...
Arches National Park contains the highest density of arches in the world, more than 2000 natural sandstone arches. It also features a variety of unique geological formations such as Balanced Rock, The Three Gossips and The Tower of Babel. It borders the Colorado River on the Colorado Plateau and is 4 miles north of Moab, Utah. It’s truly high desert, receiving an average of less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rain annually. In spite of it’s relatively remote location the park received more than 1.6 million visitors in 2018 and the lines to get in can be long…so get there early!

Today we start looking at some aspects of life and leisure in Bridport. This little town of 1,600 people sits on the north east coast of Tasmania. To the north is Bass Strait. To the north east is Flinders Island.
In summer its numbers swell as holiday makers enjoy the beaches, the boating and the golf courses. The Barnbougle Golf Links provide two outstanding links courses, The Dunes and Lost Farm. Both have been listed by Gold Digest Magazine as in the top 100 courses in the world. It is now the main tourist attraction in the area. We'll come to those later.
But for the next few days we'll take a look at the boating side of Bridport, both for work and play.
