Hiking through the many trails at Bryce National Park, UT, is a breathtaking experience. Astonishing scenery views come one after the other, at the risk of saturating the eyes of the jaw-dropped spectator.
Detail of the main building at Woolaroc—a wildlife preserve and museum near Bartlesville, Oklahoma that was originally established in 1925 as a retreat for oilman Frank Phillips.

This is about the best I could get at Stonewall Falls in Rabun Co. The sun was out, more than in and when it was in it was only very briefly. It made for a tough time exposing the image. I have not fully decided if I like this shot or not, the composition seems a little off, the falls to me is pushed too far to the right side.
B&W is next in stream. Photo shot from Esmeralda County, Nevada. The mountain is in Nye County. Crop is 21:8
Most of Stonewall Mountain is inside Nellis Air Force Base.
On the way to cooking class I saw this high wall. It made me think of Kaffe Fassett and his amazing fabric designs.
Still revisiting the archives....another from our last trip to Lower Antelope Canyon; a spot that offers endless composition opportunities. The curves and textures of the sculpted rock walls combined with the play of light and shadows can be quite mesmerizing and captivating.
Have a great Thursday, and as always, thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!

Equestrian statue of Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson on Henry House Hill at the Manassas Battlefield. The battle of First Manassas (First Bull Run) was fought here on 21 July 1861. Jackson received the nickname "Stonewall" when General Barnard Bee (killed shortly thereafter) directed his troops to rally behind Jackson, who was "standing there like a stone wall".

With some recent rains and a couple of cloudy days it was time to do some woodland exploring. The first stop over the weekend was the beautiful Stonewall Falls. This is a waterfall I had always heard of but never taken the time to venture back to. These smaller waterfalls with downstream scenic cascades never disappoint, and I was pleasantly surprised by the photo opportunities here. There were some other water features along the creek, but most of those were hit by a good bit of downfall... luckily the primary falls itself is all clear.
I put together a video of the adventure if you would like to see this waterfall along with some other sights & sounds of the creeks in action.

Starting in Lavita Colorado we drove up towards Cordova Pass on 12 and pulled over to photograph some of the riders on a downhill section of the Stonewall Century ride. This is a 102 mile ride. I like to test my high speed panning skills with cyclists as they wiz by. I ended up with several keepers but this one may be my best.
For those of you interested in the tech side of this; What makes this difficult is keeping predictive focus trained on his head while panning steadily to match his speed in order to keep him sharp at a slow 1/50 sec shutter speed. This will give you a nice blurred background emphasizing his speed.
Taken at Bull Run park. We were amazed at how comically muscular Jackson and his horse are portrayed! They appear in SuperHero style...to include the fist on Jackson's hip.
Final Post of 2018 - This is a place I was excited to visit over the summer and it did not disappoint. I plan on visiting again in 2019 to do star trails with the front of the church pointing directly to the north star. I hope you all have an amazing 2019

The church was built from 1899 to 1901 with the first Mass on Christmas day 1901. Due to declining population at the parish, it was closed on August 6, 1967.
On October 12, 1998, the church was destroyed by fire. The cause of the fire was suspicious and only the limestone walls remained.
This is a 2 shot composite of an actual scene depending on the time of year you visit.
