Another quick business trip to Clive and a rain storm was just subsiding with the sun peaking thru under the cloud layer getting close to sunset so its a race up the hill. Some of the best light is just after a period of rain...
Also experimenting with my copyright logo in the centre and trying to find the best opacity setting.

Olmsted Point in Yosemite National Park is one of those "pull over right now" overlooks that delivers a completely different perspective on Yosemite's iconic granite wonders 🌄✨
Perched at about 8,400 feet along Tioga Road (Hwy 120), this high-country vista point offers sweeping panoramic views south into Tenaya Canyon. The star? The backside (northeast face) of Half Dome rising dramatically in the distance—less familiar than the classic Tunnel View angle but equally stunning, especially with its sheer scale against the surrounding domes. To the east, Tenaya Lake sparkles like a turquoise jewel amid the subalpine landscape, flanked by Clouds Rest, Cathedral Peak, and a sea of glaciated granite domes and peaks.
Named after landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (and his son), who helped shape Yosemite's early preservation, the spot features a large parking area with accessible viewing, interpretive signs, and a tactile bronze model of the valley for all visitors. For the best experience, take the short, hilly 0.25-mile (one-way) paved trail out onto the point itself—it's easy but rewarding, passing glacial erratics (huge boulders dropped by ancient ice sheets) and opening up even wider vistas.
Sunset here is legendary: the warm light bathes Half Dome in alpenglow while the high-elevation air adds crisp clarity. It's wheelchair-accessible from the main lot, making it one of Yosemite's most effortless epic views. Tioga Road is seasonal (typically late May to October), so plan accordingly—summer crowds peak midday, but early morning or late afternoon offers softer light and fewer people.
Pro tip: Bring binoculars to spot climbers on Half Dome's cables (when up), and pair it with a stop at nearby Tenaya Lake for a full high-country loop. This overlook captures Yosemite's raw, high Sierra beauty in one breathtaking sweep!

Have a wonderful week ahead everyone :-)
Taking in Salzburg's cityscape from the Müllnersteg, a pedestrian bridge over the Salzach River, is a treat, especially in the late afternoon when the sun casts a warm glow over the city. This bridge is always bustling with pedestrians, cyclists, and tourists, making it a lively spot to soak in the views. One of the standout features of Salzburg's skyline is the impressive Hohensalzburg Fortress (Festung Hohensalzburg). Perched high on the Festungsberg hill, it dominates the city's landscape. From the Müllnersteg, you get a front-row seat to its commanding presence over Salzburg. This view provides a fantastic look at the historic architecture of Salzburg's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll spot those iconic rooftops and the charming facades of centuries-old buildings. Keep an eye out for landmarks like the Salzburg Cathedral with its distinct green dome. The cityscape is punctuated by several church spires, adding to its delightful and picturesque character. These spires belong to notable churches like St. Peter's Abbey, the Franciscan Church, and the Collegiate Church – Müllnersteg, Salzburg, Austria.
I was on my balcony during one of the last good sunsets in my area this summer 2025. I watched thick clouds gather as the rainy season approached, and the sky slowly lit up in solid shades of red and orange. The buildings and trees made simple silhouettes against the fading light, and even the power lines added a hint of everyday city life to the view.
Nature meets urban details. The vibrant sky, mixed with the presence of familiar city elements like trees, buildings, and power lines, makes this shot a real marker of summer’s end.
I captured this image with my iPhone camera while the LiveView display on my Nikon D850 SLR camera was on. A picture of a picture, so to speak.
Happy New Year 2010 to all my flickr/blog friend. Thanks all for viewing my photostream.

Beautiful viewpoint from the Narikala Fortress in Tbilisi, Georgia. The first prominent church seen is the Metekhi Virgin Mary Assumption Church and is one of the oldest and most iconic churches in Tbilisi, located on a cliff overlooking the Kura River. Built in the 13th century, it stands on the site of an earlier church from the 5th century. This church played an important role in the history of Georgia and offers a beautiful view of the old town. Surrounded by legends, including stories about the martyr St. Abo of Tbilisi, Metekhi Church is an important symbol of the Georgian Orthodox Church. The Sameba Cathedral, also known as the Holy Trinity Cathedral, is the largest church in Georgia and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. Situated on Elijah Hill, the cathedral dominates the landscape of Tbilisi. Construction began in 1995 and was completed in 2004, as a symbol of Georgian religious revival after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The cathedral, with its golden dome, incorporates both traditional and modern elements in its architecture, and serves as the spiritual center of the Georgian Orthodox Church.
The view from Narikala Fortress in Tbilisi is breathtaking. Situated on a hill in the Old Town, this fortress offers panoramic views of the entire city. You can see the winding Kura River flowing through Tbilisi and the mix of historical and modern architecture that makes the city so special. From this height, you can also see the Metekhi Church, the famous funicular and the imposing Sameba Cathedral, one of the largest Orthodox cathedrals in the world. The golden dome of the cathedral gleams in the sun, standing majestically against the Tbilisi skyline. The view is particularly beautiful at sunset, with the golden glow enveloping the city in a warm, magical atmosphere. This view, along with the rest of the Old Town, enhances the special charm of this historical site and offers an impressive panorama that shows both the modern and traditional sides of the city.
Het uitzicht vanaf het Narikala-fort in Tbilisi is adembenemend en biedt een panoramisch beeld van de stad. Vanaf de oude muren van het fort kijk je uit over de kronkelende rivier de Kura, de oude stad met haar charmante balkons, en moderne bezienswaardigheden zoals de Bridge of Peace. In de verte zie je de majestueuze Sameba Kathedraal en de vele heuvels die Tbilisi omringen. Vooral bij zonsondergang is het uitzicht spectaculair, met de stad die oplicht onder een warme gloed en de bergen op de achtergrond die langzaam verdwijnen in de schemering. De eerste kerk is de Metekhi Virgin Mary Assumption Church en is een van de oudste en meest iconische kerken in Tbilisi, gelegen op een klif met uitzicht op de rivier de Kura. Gebouwd in de 13e eeuw, staat het op de plek van een vroegere kerk uit de 5e eeuw. Deze kerk speelde een belangrijke rol in de geschiedenis van Georgië en biedt een prachtig uitzicht over de oude stad. De Metekhi-kerk is omgeven door legendes, waaronder verhalen over de martelaar St. Abo van Tbilisi, en is een belangrijk symbool van de Georgisch-Orthodoxe kerk. DeSameba Kathedraal, ook wel bekend als de Heilige Drievuldigheidskathedraal, is de grootste kerk in Georgië en een van de grootste orthodoxe kerken ter wereld. Gelegen op de Elia-heuvel, domineert de kathedraal het landschap van Tbilisi. De bouw begon in 1995 en werd voltooid in 2004, als symbool van de Georgische religieuze heropleving na het uiteenvallen van de Sovjet-Unie. De kathedraal, met zijn goudkleurige koepel, bevat zowel traditionele als moderne elementen in de architectuur, en fungeert als het spirituele centrum van de Georgisch-Orthodoxe kerk.
.........for another shot :-)
I was able to squeeze a couple frames and a few different perspectives out of the remnants of this sunset. I think I like this one better with the boats in the mix.

A setting looking to the west while taking in views across a grassy meadow and then to the more distant ridges and peaks present in this part of the Blue Ridge Mountains area. This is in Shenandoah National Park at Spitler Knoll Overlook. In composing this image, I decided to keep the sun setting off in the distance more or less in the image center. I did though want to include some foreground interest with grassy meadow and the nearby forest of trees leading up to the valley and the Masanutten Mountain. The rest was working the exposure to not blow any highlights while still being able to pull the more shattered areas later on and post-production and also working to minimize the artifacts from sunlight across the lens.
