Wake hard in the morning.

See the young girl milking.

Stream rushing by on a bed of stone.

Old goats and sandstone cracking --

All containing --

Squeezing that river like it squeeze your bones.

 

In the long red, red valley

people live here too long.

In the long red, red valley

they only sing the valley song.

 

Some bad people living further down the valley,

Not easy for us to do good trade.

We got snowmelt, snowmelt sweet water.

They got that valley road that they made.

 

In the long red, red valley

people dying here too long.

In the long red, red valley

they only sing the valley song.

 

Holding hands on the hillside.

Showing love to your brother --

your sister and your mother --

but we hate those people down the valley.

 

Has anybody seen Moses?

Get him off that mountain.

Bring back the tablets of stone.

It's a wise, wise prophet who keeps his own council.

Yeah, leave the other man's wife alone.

 

In the long red, red valley

people live here too long.

In the long red, red valley

they only sing the valley song.

  

note: an overlooked song about the cautions of prejudice.

Alviso is a small Silicon Valley town, located at the San Francisco Bay in California. I went there for sunset and to take photos of the seven planets that lined up for a rare "planetary parade" on Friday. It was too cloudy to see the planets, but we got nice backlit clouds after sunset.

 

I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

A quick look at the valley below. It's located in Italy, near the borders with Slovenia and Austria.

 

On the 10th of September 2015 this picture was on Explore tab. Thank you all.

This American photographer from Virginia slept on the ground all night on an air mattress, while his next of kin slept inside their car. As we pulled into the dunes car park at 4:45AM, I inadvertently woke him with our headlights. But it was time.

 

For the next two hours, the three of us worked the dunes together through an incredible sunrise, speaking only once as he hurried past us to a more distant dune.

 

And here I was worried this gentleman would spoil my shots. Instead, I wish I had his email address so I could thank him and send him these and a few other shots to enjoy.

One of my favourite haunts was to walk up into the Ochil hills and spend most of the day at certain locations just waiting for the right light. I would have my sandwiches and a flask of tea and I wouldn't call the Queen my auntie, I felt like I was on top of the world. I am sorry that I haven't been getting back to you recently my friends as my brother is ill also and I still am fighting ill health. I hope that things are ok with you and I love to look at your inspiring images.

Living Life

Life is not a race - but indeed a journey. Be Honest. Work Hard. Be Choosy. Say 'thank you', 'I love you', and "great job' to someone each day. Go to church, take time for prayer. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. Let your handshake mean more than pen and paper. Love your life and what you've been given, it is not accidental ~ search for your purpose and do it as best you can. Dreaming does matter. It allows you to become that which you aspire to be. Laugh often. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Some of the best things really are free. Do not worry, less wrinkles are more becoming. Forgive, it frees the soul. Take time for yourself ~ Plan for longevity. Recognize the special people you've been blessed to know. Live for today, enjoy the moment.

Yosemite National Park was for me, both a blessing and a curse. The blessing was the beauty of the mountains, valleys, rivers and sky. The curse…I’m not a landscape photography guy. In between every tree, rock and crevice I was looking for wildlife. It was by far the largest area that I had ever visited that was nearly void of wildlife. Even the park ranger that I asked for help in locating critters tried to get me excited about the whitetail deer that come out at dawn and dusk…I can see whitetail most days around our neighborhood.

 

Yosemite is just another reason to thank Abraham Lincoln for the blessing that he was as he had the insight to set aside the magnificent place way back in his day, laying the foundation for our National Parks System.

Lovely morning light in the Mournes

Early one morning, on one of my drives up to St. Mary's Peak, I was blessed to observe this sunrise image. Standing there above the Valley, I though how blessed I was, to enjoy the beauty of that moment and also capture it and preserve it for all eternity...

New light floods a field in Swan Valley, Idaho. This was a project image used during my Santa Fe Workshop. I used Gaussian Glow described here to soften and image and increase mid tone contrast.

One of my favourite views in all of the UK. This is Martindale Common, a nice wide valley in the Lake District. I've been here a few times, I always try and visit when I'm on holiday up in Cumbria. The small stream here is called Howe Grain and it flows into Ullswater behind me, well maybe nearly a mile or so behind me.

 

The pointy hill behind the lone tree in the middle of the image is called The Nab at 576 metres high is dwarfed by High Raise that you can see to the left of it - the rocky edged hill maxes out at 802 metres but looks smaller as it's a fair way off from where I was stood.

 

The hill on the right of the image is Beda Head at 509 metres above sea level. It's good walking country around here, but forget that, I take photos more than I walk..... It sounds daft but the sky seems massive here too, maybe something to do with the valley and high hills enclosing you in.

Valley of Fire State Park is a public recreation and nature preservation area covering nearly 46,000 acres located 16 miles south of Overton, Nevada. The state park derives its name from red sandstone formations, the Aztec Sandstone, which formed from shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago.

We spent Thanksgiving Day driving through Monument Valley.

Spent almost a week in one of my favorite places. The weather was perfect and the fall colors in the Zion Narrows were at their peak.
