There's nothing like rich volcanic soil for growing good veges, no exception these potatoes ("spuds" in local lingo) near Ohakune in the central north island of New Zealand. The mountain is Mt Ruapehu (2797m), an active volcano in the Tongariro National Park. Aside from being famous as Mordor in the Lord of the Rings films, the mountain is popular with locals and tourists alike for skiing, hiking and sightseeing (many visiting Lord of the Rings filming locations!).
Last weekend, we could visit a spectacular sunset just behind our house. I reduced saturation a little bit. So, the colors are not exaggerated.
Fall finally came in north Texas after Thanksgiving when leaves changed color suddenly. Late fall around here, I still have plants blooming in my yard.
Sunset on The Dalles, Columbia River Gorge.
Taken during the recent photoworkshop with Adrian Klein and Kevin McNeal.
No HDR - processed the RAW file and boosted contrast a bit. Shot just before sunset with the sun behind me. The winds were blowing fiercely so shot at ISO 1250 to keep the flowers still as possible.

Waterfalls, walks and wonders in the Catlins
A wonderful world of waterfalls, sea caves, coastal cliffs,rocky headlands, the Catlins is nature lover and walker paradise with amazing places to explore.
The Catlins is blessed with some spectacular waterfalls. The most famous of these is Pūrākaunui Falls - a magnificent waterfall surrounded by bush that cascades 20 metres over three distinct tiers. The waterfall is a short walk from a side road off the main Owaka-Invercargill highway.
Taken on May 6, 2022 at 10:30 pm at Range Lake, in Yellowknife NWT Canada, in the Center of a residential area. There is a gas station directly behind me, homes off in the distance to the left and buildings peeking over the tree line to the right. Framed properly to avoid the structures, it gives the illusion of a wilderness location, while still in the heart of the city. Since it is still early spring here, if you look off in the distance, the lake is still partly covered with a layer of ice that is slowly melting as spring gives way. I opened the aperture wide opened in this one, as was looking to capture the foreground in detail with a bit of a dreamy look in the background - not sure I actually accomplished what I was looking for, but it seemed to work. Was filling with gas as I noticed the spectacular sunset overhead, grabbed my camera and made the best of the situation, considering I was still inside town limits. Sunset was at 10 pm so this is what people often call the second sunset that occurs about 30 minutes after sunset, as the sun dips below the horizon, lighting up the cloud cover overhead for about 10 minutes.
Absolutely random, but very spectacular. When I tried to shoot a fireworks, I pushed the tripod and.....Voilà
Iceland isn’t short of waterfalls, but Gullfoss is considered the king of them all. Gullfoss actually consists of two falls, the smaller cascade is 11 metres tall, and then the dramatic drop that people flock to see is 21 metres high. There is a big difference between the falls in winter and summer.
A spectacular view at the top of the Roche de Vergisson.

Hope everyone enjoyed a terrific Xmas day.
This image was taken at the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba (World Heritage Site since 1984) in Andalucia, Spain. It is arguably one of the most significant monuments and one of the most amazing buildings in the western World. The complete evolution of the Omeyan style in Spain can be appreciated in its different sections, as well as the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles of the Christian part.
BTW, I wanted to take the opportunity to inform everyone that Flickr apparently no longer sends notifications to Yahoo mail accounts. I only receive notices regarding promotions by Flickr. As a result, it is impossible to track and reciprocate Faves. Sorry about that and happy holidays!
hills of read pimp-stone were wrecked 70 years ago, as the pimp-stone gravel was used to build Reykjavik airport under the WWII and in roads and streets after that until only the ruins of this spectacular hills were left. 50 years ago the gravel mines were closed and the remains made a reservoir, where you can see the inside of this type of volcano creations.
Despite an area being dry and somewhat barren, a spectacular sunset will always beautify public BLM lands in North America. This was shot from public land in Utah with the Great Salt Lake visible in the distance.

So lucky to witness this stunning sunrise with nacreous clouds at Kinnaber beach this morning.
However, these polar stratospheric clouds are also indicators of toxic chemicals that break down ozone in the upper atmosphere (information from Torc Torr Ance via Facebook).
Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking
Knot island during the Snettersham Spectacular this morning.
For those who don't know, at certain high tides the mud flats in the wash are completely submerged forcing the wading birds (mainly Knot, Sanderling and Oystercatchers) to seek refuge on the islands in the RSBP lagoon.
Many of the Knot are in the process of transitioning from summer orange plumage to grey and white for winter.
Couldn't face lugging a tripod down to the beach so attempting to get as slow a shutter speed as possible hand held to try and show the motion of the birds.
In October 1216, King John of England lost the crown jewels while leading a campaign against rebellious barons in East Anglia - I almost lost a lens cap but retracing my steps managed to track it down.
