McCullough Peaks Wild Horses in Wyoming.
As shown in this picture the weather in the Grand Canyon varies according to the elevation it falls on, snow in Arizona usually occurs at 6000 feet or higher with rain taking over below this elevation.
The South rim of the park can get up to 60 inches of snow annually while the northern rim can get upwards of 144 inches of snow, below the rims and along the river you would be lucky to get 8 inches of rain a year with snow being unheard of normally.
The Canyon is its own micro climate temperatures can vary from 100+ degrees in summers to -20 in winter but summer is the most deadly to tourists, they are unprepared for the heat so many cases of dehydration/sunstroke are common.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mmmm 2.8 G2 Lens at 70mm 1/80s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia,

One of a coalition of five male cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), sometimes called the 5 Musketeers or the Fast Five, that have been together since the Fall of 2016. This is a historic grouping because of its large number and consists of two brothers and three non related males. Together they are able to hold larger territory and bring down larger prey.

...Some day you came
and I knew you were the one
You were the rain, you were the sun
but I needed both, cause I needed you
You were the one
I was dreaming of all my life
When it is dark you are my light
But don't forget
Who's always our guide
It is the child in us
Enigma - "The child in us"

It is inevitable. We learn to live with those scars, or they kill us long before we actually die. Small scars, large, scars as long and deep as the ocean—they define us; they become a part of our life map.

Please enjoy the harvest details in Large. Thank you so much for your visit!
Winter has shown us its less beautiful side in the last few days. It's actually cloudy, dreary and gray out there all day long. Probably at night too, but we are spared this sight because of the regular darkness.
Now it's time for me to change the seasons once again to at least spread a little light and color here.
And so we go back to a beautiful November evening in the beautiful Elbe Sandstone Mountains (on the outskirts of Lohmen) in a beautiful beech forest (someone might say I have a problem with superlatives) and enjoy the sun as it casts stripes of light and shadow on the forest floor.
By the way, the area directly in front of us spontaneously reminded me of a road, which led to the title of this picture.
Der Winter zeigt sich uns in den letzten Tagen von seiner weniger schönen Seite. Es ist eigentlich den ganzen Tag lang trüb, trist und grau da draußen. Nachts wahrscheinllich auch, doch da bleibt uns dieser Anblick auf Grund der regelmäßig einsetzenden Dunkelheit erspart.
Da wird es jetzt Zeit für mich einmal mehr die Jahreszeiten zu wechseln um wenigstens hier ein bisschen Licht und Farbe zu verbreiten.
Und so gehen wir noch einmal zurück zu einem wunderschönen Novemberabend im wunderschönen Elbsandsteingebirge (am Stadtrand von Lohmen) in einen wunderschönen Buchenwald (da soll mal einer sagen ich hätte ein Problem mit Superlativen) und genießen die Sonne, wie sie den Waldboden in Streifen aus Licht und Schatten teilt.
Der direkt vor uns liegende Bereich hat mich übrigens spontan an eine Strasse erinnert, was dann zum Titel dieses Bildes geführt hat.

We are searchlights, we can see in the dark
We are rockets, pointed up at the stars
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far

From the comments below, I was reminded that not everyone will recognize the tough guy on the left, US President and "Rough Rider" Teddy Roosevelt. He's famous for saying "Talk softly, and carry a big stick", and for being the namesake of the teddy bear.

I always see pics of moms with there kids and always think to myself that I need more of me with my boys. So I got out the tripod today and shot some of myself and Ty. It was the best I could do with a remote holding my him :)
So this is a view looking north across Sydney Harbour towards Kirribilli.
Photographed from beside the 19th century cannon at Dawes Point Battery.
I used my Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 'dodgy', non L series lens, so you can see right across the harbour to the buildings at Kirribilli, notably the St Aloysius College with its Christian cross. And you can check out the people on the boats!!
So after finishing work at Chatswood last Friday (Friday, 13th December, 2024) I drove down to the harbour, via a hideous traffic jam on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and amazingly secured parking on Lower Fort Street.
I then walked down to the harbour - but there was virually no harbour, just boats. SO many boats. It is incredible that they don't run into one another, lol.
