The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I have been wanting to post this image for a while but I keep forgetting to do it. Perhaps you think I would have been better off to continue to forget about it but I love it enough to venture on these lesss traveled roads. :)
It's starting to "look a lot like autumn".
I was reminded of the poem by Robert Frost, "The Road not Taken".

"You traveled a long way to find out if the Bloodcroft Family still existed. You traveled up the winding rock path towards their door and it was then, as the clouds seemed to close in around the top of the castle, you realized your curiosity was going to kill you....or leave you undead for eternity."

Coming this weekend to the DRD mainstore......if you dare to make the journey.

A 350 mile journey begins with one step.
Saturday night William McIntosh and I made some plans to head up to Julia Pfeiffer State Beach to photograph Keyhole Arch during the winter solstice. During the winter solstice the sun lines up through the arch and has produced some magical captures and is a popular destination for many photographers. The following morning Bill called at 7:30am and said that the weather had turned up north and we decided to head the other direction towards the southwest, After spending a half hour looking at the radar and Skyfire we decided to head to a spot 6 hours away just past Phoenix Arizona to the Salt River Bend.
As we traveled, the weather started clearing more and more and by the time we got on location the clouds almost cleared out of the sky completely but luckily as the sun dipped to the horizon we did catch some last minute color in the sky.
This is an 8 image panorama stitched together in Lightroom and in an effort of full disclosure, was unhappy with the size of the moon when shooting at 11mm so I had the presence of mind to grab the longest lens in my bag at the time, a 24-105mm and snapped a second shot of the moon and replaced the tiny moon in the original composition with the one shot with the longer lens. I know some people object to this but I'm trying to sell prints here people. LOL :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
For those of you new to photography, I would like to provide you with some very helpful videos that might help you get more from your photography. They were very useful to me while I was learning and I hope that they will help you out as well. Just click the Youtube link below and click "Playlists" there are pre-made playlists on everything you could ever want to know about photography. I hope you enjoy them and as always my friends "Happy Shooting"
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend ahead everybody!! :)
Please do me a favor and follow me on my other social sites found below:
I have traveled up to here several times in recent months, primarily to pass Edge Hill and Allerton depots, looking for new Northern units.. usually out one way and back the other, that is surface/Northern and Mersey Rail.
As i have a Mersey pass, being a resident and age qualified it costs zero... happy days.
At this limit of the Mersey rail system, appropriately named "Hunts Cross" you can detrain from one service, cross the platforms and board another, the Mersey rail frequency is such that you only need wait 15 minutes for a ride back into the City, or where ever you fancy....
Es Vedrá. Isla de Ibiza, Islas Baleares.
España
For all the places that I have traveled, I have always been interested in the best place to watch the sunset and disconnect from everything for at least a few minutes and let the mind fly through the mountains, in the cities, or as in this case in the sea. .
I have chosen this beautiful place of Ibiza in the Balearic Islands from which I keep very fond memories and happy and very funny moments, and in which despite being surrounded by hundreds of people who come from all over the world and gather here to see this spectacular scenery hear the waves arrive, smell the sea breeze ... and if you follow the line of the sun to the islet of Es Vedrá, the magic of the place will make you disconnect and evoke many good memories ...
----------------------------------------
Por todos los lugares que he recorrido, siempre me ha interesado el mejor lugar para ver el atardecer y desconectar de todo durante al menos unos minutos y dejar que la mente vuele por la montaña, en las ciudades, o como en este caso en el mar.
He escogido este bello rincón de Ibiza en las Islas Baleares del que guardo muy gratos recuerdos y momentos felices y muy divertidos, y en el que a pesar de estar rodeado de cientos de personas que vienen de todo el mundo y se concitan aqui para ver este espectacular paisaje escuchar las olas llegar, oler la brisa del mar ... y si sigues la linea del sol hasta el islote de Es Vedrá la magia del lugar te hara desconectar y evocar muchos buenos recuerdos ...
I traveled on Tonle Sap in a very “basic” boat, and was fortunate to find a local boatman, who was able to take me close to shore and “beach” the boat several times so I could see life there as it really was. The family living here supplemented their income by raising pigs seen center foreground. Some were kept in very small crates, others allowed to walk freely in the space between houses. Some of the crates were constructed so they would float tethered to the main home when the lake waters rose to the level of the houses. Because of the change in water levels as the water flows in and out of the Mekong, the houses on the lake are built on stilts to allow for the 8-9 meter rise in the water level during the rainy season.
A less traveled road is the road for me.
In just about another week this will start to turn to a golden yellow. Hopefully I can get the right light to show it's true beauty. This one was shot on a dark slightly foggy morning. No matter the light it's a beautiful place to be.
Thanks to all who stop by. Have a safe and fun weekend.

Fringe Element - Road Less Traveled
Gracias a todos por vuestras visitas y comentarios.
Thank you all for your visits and comments.
I traveled the world
Looking for understanding
Of the times that we live in
Hunting and gathering first hand information
Challenging definitions of sin
I traveled the world
Looking for lovers
Of the ultimate beauty
But never settled in
I am a Wanderlust King!

Yesterday morning I traveled early to the upper reaches of the Tieton River basan above Rimrock Reservoir and found 5 Sparuce Grouse. The light was poor but I managed to get a few photos. It was 37 F when I started hiking and intermittent light rain was falling so it was difficult to keep the camera dry and at the same time get photos in very dim light. Fortunately for photographers these birds are not timid. Then again, maybe it is unfortunate that people and presumably coyotes and other predator can easily approach them. There are only 2 places in Yakima County, Washington where these birds have been seen in recent years They are rare in this part of Washington State. These birds
are the Franklin subspecies.
I appreciate the views, invites, comments and faves. Thank you all.
In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from "the good fight," For Whom the Bell Tolls. The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving and wise. "If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote to Hemingway after reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's previous works, it stands as one of the best war novels of all time.
Every evening, you've traveled to this lake and sat with your trusted Meow Meow to star gaze. One night on the way to said lake, you find a tome. Filled with strange spells and incantations, mystified you can't help but flick through, page by page, relishing the opportunity to learn these long lost spells.
If you want to acquire such knowledge yourself, luck shines upon you as well then all you need to do is head to Enchantment open until June 3rd, to snag the new "Aza Empyrea" - Cosmic Codex, by Vae Victis, and you'll be that much closer to all that fun Eldritch stuff!
But maybe, like me, you can't read. That's fine! The gorgeous Fog Splitter sword I'm clutching is by the lovely Zavodila, available now at Ota con!, open until May 31st!
If you want to emulate her risque outfit, Black Fair open until the 28th, to steal the Constance Set by ABSENCE!
Or if you're a weeb like me, you'll love these tattoos by Dharma! Available at Abstrakt open until June 5th, to get all inked up with these Cute Killah tats c:

The path less traveled in Gränna. I love this beautiful autumn contrast, the vivid green grass holding on strong, framing the fiery heart of the forest trail and that classic red cottage. Nature putting on a show. It’s amazing how much beauty waits just around the bend. This little trail was worth the detour. I hope you find some autumn magic today.
This one felt quiet and rich, like a whispered secret from the forest. I’m glad we followed the detour.

I traveled all the way from Florida to California in a failed attempt to photograph Bobcats. We, of course, have them in Florida. Recently, a family of Bobcats has taken up residence at a local wildlife refuge, and as such, is more tolerant of humans than would otherwise be the case. I only had a few days to try to get some images any only got lucky twice on several attempts. This one's my favorite.
We traveled the Shafer Trail Road on the switchbacks for a 1500 foot drop down to the White Rim above the Colorado River. The road was originally a trail improved in 1880's by the Shafer brothers who used it to move cattle from the top of the mesa down to winter grazing. The Trail was further improved in the 1950's as a road for uranium mining. It's still an exciting and challenging drive.
...my tripod is here! I didn't bring mine from Malaysia as our luggage was too heavy when we traveled to UK :)
Thanks to Amazon for their speedy delivery, I received my Giottos tripod today. It is a heavier (2.1 kg) tripod compared to my Manfrotto back home, which I think is better given the weather here in Scotland.
Will try to get some shots with it this weekend... depending on the weather though. Have a great weekend!

Two years ago I traveled New Zealand´s North Island for six weeks, chasing sunsets in the evenings.
Six weeks I had mostly rain in the evenings until I reached Omapere, where I was rewarded with sunset fireworks, mirroring a dramatic sky in the wet beach sand.
It was a feast for the eye, heaven on earth, two days before my flight home.
Vor zwei Jahren bereiste ich sechs Wochen lang Neuseeland Nordinsel. Abends versuchte ich den Sonnenuntergang zu fotografieren, wurde aber immer wieder enttäuscht, weil es regnete.
Erst in Omapere erlebte ich abends am Strand ein Feuerwerk an Farben, das sich sogar im nassen Strandsand spiegelte. Für mich war das im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes der Himmel auf Erden, ein Anblick, den ich nie vergessen werde, ein Geschenk zwei Tage vor meinem Flug nach Hause.
We traveled out on the shoulder of the rugged Nine Mile Canyon. On the lip of this sandstone bowl we found a view of the Colorado River hundreds of feet below. The huge bowl funnels water into Nine Mile Canyon and on into the Colorado River. The small pool is what is left of the latest rainstorm. I would not like to be standing here when the rain water is rushing down the steep walls of the bowl carving sandstone on its way.
Happy Saturated Saturday!
This morning The Manawatu dawned with a blue sky and not a cloud to be seen. I quickly traveled across to the Tararua and after 20 minutes the sun rose and lit up not just the cloud but the fog! This image was a 3 exposure HDR at - 3 stops, - 1stop & +1 stop! This image is included in this weeks video, which won't premiere on Monday evening as it's far from complete! I'm hoping to upload it for Friday
The antagonist traveled to the sun to cool it down. As a kind of compensation for the carbon dioxide pollution of the corporations. Fluffy has never been seen again. How lucky I was to capture him before he went.
We recently traveled to Vancouver where I had a chance to capture a few non landscape images. My goal was to explore some of the nooks and crannies around the Vancouver Public Library. Here, steps appear golden from reflected light. This is as a result of "the building's walls that are clad in sand stone coloured pre-cast concrete." It was a superb afternoon working with existing light, shapes, angels, and a few people.
Absolute fun.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I have traveled for a thousand years across a timeless universe.
I have looked into millions of eyes and escaped shooting stars and falling skies.
I have talked to billions of people, but what led me to you was a simple steeple.
I gazed into your soulfire and felt the cosmos burn.
After hearing your heart song, I made endless wishes, dreamed of blissful kisses, and watched the hourglass turn.
You are an eternal flame yet so much like a comet shooting across my sky.
You come to light me up and then flitter away with the wings of a galactic butterfly.
Your soulfire pulls me in ever so closer to the treasure; the prize.
Feeling the burn as I am lost, once more, in your eyes...
I thought to pair this image with a song, but how can you contain soulfire? It is not just one when it is in them all.
This is a double image of leaves that I took in April. I added a third layer with my star photography that I did back in September of Sagittarius and Scorpio.
I hope you all continue to let your soulfire burn as we head into May and hear the beautiful music of your own heart.
Thank you for the kind favs and comments. I'll come visit your solar system soon.
On October 1, 2020 I traveled to the Highland Restaurant at the Eagle Ridge Territory outside Galena, Illinois where I knew there were beautiful flower gardens outside.

Where Love That Traveled Far Had Found Me
"Remind Me" - Rӧyksopp
And anywhere I go
There's always something to remind me
Of another place in time
Where love that traveled far had found me
Last year during fall I traveled with a friend to a place called Cliffside Lake. I found several compositions I wanted to use, but this was a composition I worked out quickly in the moment. A friend walking out over the lake on a fallen log, surrounded by the fall colors and fading glow, a little backlight on his face and head. These small moments in time don’t afford us a lot of wiggle room most of the time. I was shooting a 10-24mm lens for a different composition, and just went with it here. I sat on this photo for a year, and earlier today I pulled it out and went to work on the edit. Sometimes it’s worth the wait.
