Alright, part 8 of the "lost gorge series", in no particular order, but it's likely that the ones to come will somewhat resemble my way up.
Do you see the thin fallen logs across the creek? They are sort of diagonal when viewed from the side. You can find them here as well, upstream:

Since this place was untouched, no path, ..no nothing, paired with the freedom this setup gives me (I can go as wide as I want, and the vertical angle with 3 rows is huge as well), there was potential for a panorama almost everywhere. 😊
Ok, for the weird crooked ones I like doing at least. I think people would be surprised seeing the sometimes outrageours positions I place my tripod (and myself) 😲, and get some out of it.
Technically it's a 33 piece mercator projection, ~345,3MP, cropped to some random aspect ratio with 16314 x 13226px, ~215,8MP.

Kirkjufell or Church Mountain in the Snaefellsnes peninsula, Iceland. The cloud is cutting off the top of the mountain, but this is still one of the most amazing places to take pictures in Iceland. You can catch several waterfalls depending on your angle around this stream that goes to the ocean.
MEC 352 leads Sappi-3 with the 315 on 11/1/20. The train would run into issues trying to get onto the main at CPF-110 and would stall out, and would require a rescue locomotive to be sent from the yard.

I walked in with hope that I will see something interesting or something frozen, but nothing. Nothing was frozen, because -1 Celsius doesn't freeze anything, so I had to find interesting angles for myself.
On my way up to the mountain top Grytfoten in the mountain range The Seven Sisters, in Northern-Norway. I came across this waterfall of fresh, clean and delicious (drinkable) mountain water. Sorry about the frame, but it was necessary this time, to separate the image borders and the background colour of Flickr.
Went for a catch up with Stuart.67 and stumbled across a small waterfall. Challenge was to only use a 35mm lens only, and wasn't expecting this so no tripod and handheld. Will return in autumn to do it better justice.
This stream never fails me. It’s one of those places you can always count on a good photo. One of my favorite places in the Smoky Mountains, always a must do.
I’m again impressed by the quality of work that’s possible with a phone camera. I’ve not been able to use my SLR since I hurt my arm, but I’m getting closer.
Living and learning every day. Thank you lord for giving me the strength and ability to make it to this special place.
LIFE IS GOOD
A glacial stream rolling out between the mountains, seen from Stony Indian Pass in Glacier National Park, MT. This was the culmination of a 6 day backpacking trek in the backcountry: exhausting, but obviously worth it!
We had crossed the Northern Cascade Mountains in north Washington to Glacier National Park in Montana. It was a quick drive through Glacier National Park on account of the heavy traffic. We would have loved to stop and hike the numerous trails but without a place to park it wasn't possible. Consequently, sooner than we would have liked we were at the Canadian border. This picture is at Glacier NP.
We are coming close to the end of our look at the old Mount Royal Hospital at Parkville in Melbourne. But there are some perspectives on this magnificent old 19th century structure I want to show you before we move on.
This shot is obviously all about lines and angles, light and shade. We are looking across this small inner quadrangle to the old nurses quarters (up that external staircase high on the building). But if we look straight down the hall past the bicycle, there is a lovely little bit of light streaming through a window into the dark passage. I've tagged it on the photo. It is a little element Vermeer would have loved.
Sometimes I wish I could just sit still for years on end, and watch the world revolve around me. If an entire day was but a blink of my eye, what would a week look like? What about a month? Or a year? I wonder which details time would magnify, and which ones it would blur over. Which habits, which would ordinarily be invisible or unnoticeable, would I notice? Which aspect of life which I hold to be of utmost importance would be tossed aside as mere trivialities? Which patterns would become obvious? Which colors and shapes?
I like to ponder these things, on warm, cloudy March evenings such as today's. But, of course, I doubt I will ever know the answers to my questions. I don't think I will ever be able to sit in one place for long enough to observe such things. In fact, I had trouble sitting through this 20-second exposure without getting distracted.
