The Vista House sits on top of Mt Spokane in Washington State. Its part of the state park. Its now used as a warming hut and snack bar for the skiers on the weekends. You have almost 360 degree views from here. You can see many of the area lakes in Eastern Washington and Idaho. Great Mt biking, hiking, skiing and snowshoeing as I did.

Although obviously many of these landforms were shaped by people, it is still neat to see. What can you find in this picture? Spoiler alert, I've added notes.

On a recent morning, London's skyline became buried in fog. The temperature had been hovering above zero and a light layer of frost had developed overnight across Primrose Hill and Regent's Park. The frost became more visible as night turned to blue hour, while the cityscape became increasingly obscured in early-morning mist, with barely a silhouette St Paul's and the Walkie Talkie visible, and with only a faint outline of the Docklands in the distance. A sliver of warm light gradually appeared on the horizon, turning from deep red to vibrant pink, and finally to brilliant orange as the sun emerged from behind the city's buildings.
My aim with this image was to capture several parts of what was a chilly but remarkable experience, from the pre-dawn glow of the lamps across Primrose Hill to the moment when, minutes before the sun appeared, a glimpse of fiery light could be seen between Tower 42 and the Leadenhall Building. I began shooting long before dawn when I was the only person at the top of Primrose Hill, but by the time the sun rose I'd been joined by fellow photographer Peter Li as well as half a dozen other photographers, joggers and dog-walkers, all of whom were captivated by the spectacle.
There was something magical about the city lights and the lamps across the parkland, so I began by capturing these and later using a combination of blend modes and gradient masks in Photoshop to combine them with a series of bracketed images that I captured as the sun appeared. While luminosity masking would usually be a straightforward method of isolating light across the frame and targeting my brighter exposures to the cityscape and my darker exposures to the sky, the fog on the horizon and the faint early-morning light meant an equal amount of midtones across both the cityscape and the sky, and the challenge with this image was separating these and refining the luminosity masks until the cityscape could be edited without affecting the sky. It would have been easy to use darker exposures across the image and to simply raise the shadows and exposure along the lower half of the frame, but I wanted as clean and noise-free a finish as possible across the parkland, as well as a smooth and balanced transition of light between the obscured cityscape and the brilliant sky.
With the exposures from nearly two hours of shooting blended, the colour-grading process was a fairly straightforward process, with only minor adjustments to emphasise the tones that were already there. I used Curves, Colour Balance and Gradient Map adjustments to bring out the golden tones in the sky and the cold blue across the cityscape, as well as Hue/Saturation and Selective Colour adjustments to add a hint of cyan and green to the blue in the foreground, which I felt helped to bring out the frost and chill of the parkland. I also applied a low-opacity Exposure adjustment to the shadows in the foreground to soften the contrast among the trees, which seemed to focus the buildings and the light on the horizon as the central points of interest.
Inside Nik's Colour Efex Pro, I added a small amount of the Pro Contrast and Tonal Contrast filters to the buildings in order to give them a little extra definition against the sky, but I was mindful about how much of this to apply because the low visibility of the scene is what made the image unusual for me. I liked how, on this misty and freezing morning, only the tips of the highest buildings on the horizon were clearly visible, and how, minutes before the sun rose and the fog began to vanish, there was a fleeting but fantastic sense of drama across the city.

Another oldy, haven't been able to shoot lately. Taken same night as Vista house facing west
This is the south facing front door of the Vista house lit up by the cars as they come into the parking lot at 11 pm.
The light in the sky, like the other shot is an airplane approach to Portland international airport. The planes kept coming as I was shooting so I really didn't have to work too hard to include one. Adds some balance to the picture I think.
The story goes, a Portuguese emperor wanted to build a viewpoint near his front yard, hired some Chinese to do it and this was how it looked like. #TrueStory :D Of cos I didn't end up seeing how the Rio de Janeiro looked like from here :P but I kinda liked the pagoda and it's a long windy road up here through the super tropical and wet Tijuca National Park. #TheOnlyThingISawFromHere

Buena Vista is a neighborhood in Miami, Florida, United States. It is located south of Little Haiti, north of the Miami Design District.
Buena Vista is primarily a residential neighborhood with historic single-family homes primarily from the 1920s. The Buena Vista East Historic District is located in Buena Vista, and includes some of the oldest homes in the neighborhood.
In the 1890s, Buena Vista was a small village whose founding and growth paralleled Miami's. During the Land Boom of the 1920s, the area was developed as the Biltmore and Shadowlawn subdivisions. Originally home to many Florida cracker immigrants from Georgia and North Carolina, the neighborhood soon became popular with the owners of nearby businesses. The houses reflect their original owners' rising social status and include fine examples of Mediterranean Revival, Mission, Craftsman, and Art Deco architecture style residences.
Buena Vista, Lemon City, and Little River were founded before the turn of the 19th-century and represent some of the earliest settlements in Miami-Dade County. The area known as Buena Vista was once a small village adjoining, but not within the corporate limits of Miami proper. Although preceded in age by pioneer Lemon City, a town located a little further north, the small village of Buena Vista dates its birth, development, and growth along with Miami’s. The founding of Buena Vista dates back to the days when the immense rock ridge extending between the Atlantic Ocean and the Florida Everglades was covered by a dense pine forest. The earliest history of the village is recorded in a survey made by government surveyors, and the locations of the land tracts are to this date still founded on this early document.
