So much fun playing with photoshop!
Welcome to Utah's Morrison Formation! The shale, the clay, the eroding Entrada Sandstone overburden!
The scenery may not be as impressive as red rock country, but this is the arid earth on which the late-Jurassic dinosaurs lived and died; where the fierce, meat eating Allosaurus stalked his prey; where the 80-ton Brachiosaurus munched fern fronds; and where the Stegosaurus, that armor plated beauty, laid and protected her eggs. Here you are truly walking with the spirits of the dinosaurs! I find this thought mind-boggling!
And this is the formation in which you find that most colorful fossilized dinosaur bone....

Doc and I had to travel to Glennallen for our flu shots yesterday. On the way we noticed that all of the wilderness ponds had frozen over, and even the larger lakes had skim ice on the surfaces. When we arrived at our local clinic, we found that the road was sanded, and a group of children were enjoying the first snowfall of the season. With 10 degrees predicted for our low temperature tonight, I think I can safely say that Old Man Winter has officially arrived in my little corner of the boreal forest.
Eye to Eye.

Forest trail in the Speulderbos surrounded by stately trees. The sun tries to dispel the fog, creating a magical atmosphere and there in the forest is a path to the light.
something to see, nowhere to fly.

Riverview Hospital c. 1913 - Fully decommissioned and abandoned Mental Hospita
Challenged by time, Essondale East Lawn HDR ( Please see previous images (5 of 5)
Coquitlam, BC Canada
*No copies or reproductions please and thank-you
Riverview Hospital is a Canadian mental health facility located in Coquitlam, British Columbia. It operated under the governance of BC Mental Health & Addiction Services when it closed in July 2012.
In 1904 the provincial government purchased 1,000 acres (400 ha) in then-rural Coquitlam for the construction of Riverview Hospital.
Patients were originally housed in temporary buildings, and in 1913 the building that would eventually be called West Lawn began treating the 300 most seriously ill male patients. The building was originally constructed to hold 480 patients. By the end of the year it housed 919.

Today the building stands condemned and the site is often used for movie sets.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships. Wishing you all health during this difficult time.
Stay Healthy

Dedicated to you, with your comments that you have allowed my shot to go on Explore.
Thank you very much
I failed to find time to visit this building for Open House, but the exterior still provides some opportunities for photography.
Kiriwong, South Thailand, captured in 2016, was my first 'serious' attempt at landscape photography after just having picked up my first full frame camera, the Sony A7m2. I remember it well, the water was icy cold (surprisingly) and I was stood in it for more than an hour before the sun eventually passed over the mountain behind me. It was a daft decision but then I was super keen back then. I also remember my fear in entering the water in the dark too, I had no idea what might exist in there this being Thailand after all, and given my present knowledge I probably wouldn't do it again without my wellies on!
I did manage to make a decent capture though and remember feeling quite proud of my achievement although given that I did actually take more than 100 shots I didn't exactly have much of an excuse had I mucked it up. The problem, however, was my processing skills at the time and if I had thrown a pot of purple paint over the image it couldn't have looked any worse. So here is my 2020 version which doesn't look that much different to the original raw file to be honest.. shadows lifted, whites boosted with a touch of split toning and Bob's yer uncle!
Thank you for wading by :)

The 4 day weekend is almost over and I know I have the full day today left. But I am back home, back putting up the decorations and getting ready to start the work week again. I had a great holiday weekend and I am looking forward to my 9 days off around the Christmas holiday. But until then lets continue on the "fixer up" program
A quick tutorial as to how this picture evolved. I posted a similar shot in bw awhile back without the clouds, birds etc.
Below you will see the three images that comprise the main image. Often a shot is really great but lacks something. Something that can make it dramatic and eye catching.
Here I also used the burn tool in Photoshop and overlay layer to get the desired effects in the dune and clouds. The birds are a brush from Skeletal Mess.
This image took about an hour to produce from start to finish. This obviously excludes going on location(s) which is entirely another matter.
