This was taken during a crazy dust storm at Upper Antelope Slot Canyon. A couple short stories. First, the dust fell like slightly visible rain. Try as I might to protect my camera, the dust took it out in the end. I suggest that if you are in similar conditions that you tape up your camera with kitchen wrap and gaffer tape. Tape anything that opens and use a clear wrap over as much as possible.
When this image was taken I was in a group of tourists being let by the Indians who owned the land and controlled the canyons. I paid extra for a "photo" tour, which meant we had a spot to ourselves for 30 seconds before the crowd surged through. Not my kind of photography. A nice couple was in my group and the wife was very pretty. I only had seconds and wasn't able to talk her into standing in the light for me. I can imagine the shot, can you? (Alfred, if you're listening, how about putting in a model? If not, I'll be stuck with a jaguar again!) I ran into that couple at Horseshoe Bend at sunrise and they were delightful.

It was looking like Friday morning was the best chance of sunlight for a while, so I set my alarn for 5:30am and headed to Edale.
A pleasure to bump to Nicholas Butt in the village. Nick didn't have time to head up here but it was nice to have a chat (in between trying to breathe) on the way up to The Nab. I arrived up here minutes before sunrise but had to wait a little while for the sun to break through the cloud.
I thought I'd try something different along with the compositions I always re-shoot. This round boulder caught my eye and I managed to balance the right hand side. Not easy with the wind.
The seemingly impossible task of taking a photo at Upper Moor without another photographer (or in this case 3) in the shot. I could have removed them, but they were a nice bunch and provide a bit of scale. I did, however, remove the hideous barbwire fence that has appeared on top of the wall.
The leaves are pretty much all on the ground, but this is still a pretty cool place. My first visit - warning: excessive numbers of waterfall photos will be uploaded in the coming few weeks!
It's been a while since I had any landscape photos to show. Here we go again! The first one is an early morning view of the upper Enstligenfall with some vegetables in the foreground.

Sumter National Forest, Westminster, South Carolina...I was really glad for the opportunity to get out and shoot today! The cloud cover worked out well for about seven hours and I visited four landmark waterfalls starting in Westminster and worked my way across over to Tamassee. I arrived here at the trailhead right when the sun hit the horizon. This series of waterfalls known as Brasstown Falls (actually in five prominent cascading sections) was one of the first I visited in 2017 when I seriously undertook waterfall photography, so it owns a special place in my heart.
Upper (and lower) Antelope Canyon are worth while visiting. But if you like to take photos, try and book the photography tour instead of the regular tour where you are not allowed to bring backpacks or tripods. Generally, handheld shooting requires high ISO between 2000 and 50000 at f2.8. Not the right stuff for art :) The tour itself is interesting and worth while.

A couple of walkers pausing to check their route near the bottom of High Wheeldon close to Earl Sterndale.
There are signs here warning people to cross the bridge quickly because of the danger of sudden torrents of water caused by pieces of glacier collapsing into the valley. I thought this was a ploy to stop people congregating on the bridge until I saw the state of the glacier overhanging this spot :-) Picture to come..
Happy Fence Friday

I eventually got some light this morning. I was at Ringing Roger for sunrise but low cloud rose up and snuffed it out.
After hanging around in the wind for a while, I carried on to Upper Tor and arrived just as the cloud started to disperse and I got a few moments of light..
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

Overlook for viewing the Upper Falls at Gooseberry Falls State Park.
The park is located in Castle Danger, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.
One can be rewarded with beautiful scenery such as this between Isle of Skye and Ullapool, Scotland. One might even be able to witness stags rucking in the valley as we did, what a tremendous experience that was.
With the pair of DRGW tunnel motors, the Lima bound 431 passes through the town of Upper Sandusky as it runs west on the former PRR Fort Wayne Line.
Upper Antelope Canyon at noon, Page, AZ
I was lucky to go while it was still accessible.
The canyon was accessible only by guided tour, lead by Navajo (the land is owned by the Navajo). The tour required reservations, and it was full. The guides did a marvelous job of keeping the groups separated with only one group per gallery at a time.
The stories the guides tell of the land, the discovery of the place… are as interesting as the place itself.
Just before I took this shot, my battery died. The Canon 20D was still new to me then, and I wanted to see how many shots I could get from one battery. I still remember the look on the guys face next to me when I said to myself “uh oh, dead battery!” The look of relief on his face when I pulled out a fresh one was priceless.
I want to go back.

Friday the morning on Upper Tor, Kinder Scout. There was a little colour on the way up but sunrise was muted with low cloud. The light took a while to break through.
This is not one of the well know waterfalls in Hamilton, it's in Dundas and doesn't flow more than a trickle for much of the year. This was after a big early spring melt then rain, so it rarely flows even like this.
Sunset light shows well on the upper part of the Bryce Amphitheater and upper plateau in this photo from April, 2023, along the rim near Sunrise Pt.
The Lower Christine Falls (seen in comments) gets most of the attention. The Upper Falls is more challenging to shoot, plus one must stand on the busy Christine Falls bridge while capturing this 32' beauty.
For comparison, the Lower Falls shown below drops 37'.
Thanks for your visit! Always appreciated.
