I've noticed that many of my flickr friends had sworn off going to GSMNP due to its large crowds. But, solitude is often found on the road less traveled. This beautiful scene unfolded before me on the Middle Prong Trail near Tremont. The angular evening light with light cloudiness gave me perfect lighting to highlight the beatiful mosses and trees in the distance.

The view of the Sierra from California’s Alabama Hills is beautiful and amazing. It leaves you wondering how can these two formations be so close together yet so far apart in texture, structure and contrast. The rocks of the Alabama Hills are round, against the angular Sierra. I like the difference, and it’s one that I can come back to time and time again.

King Eider (Somateria spectabilis)
Massachusetts
Another re-processed image from the archives. Always room for improvement.
Aged adult King Eiders are very rare this far south. This King appeared to be mated up with a female Common Eider and returned to the same area in both 2017 and 2018 along with a flock of Common Eiders. It was a real treat to see and photograph.
Younger adult males and females are more common along the New England coastline with a few birds showing up on a regular basis each winter.
Although I have not been able to verify it, I think the yellowish nasal knob continues to grow as these males age. It starts out more slanted and becomes much more angular and pronounced like this with age.
Lacking a drone, the best way to get a shot like this is to stand atop a ruined 15th Century castle, as I did. Seen from Easkey Castle, Co. Sligo, Ireland.
By the way, 'angular momentum' has nothing whatsoever to do with this image, other than it sounded like a cool title.
Old car geometrics.

Ayuntamiento, Almagro, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
El Ayuntamiento, edificio que ha sufrido numerosas transformaciones. Una de las más importantes fue la que llevó a cabo en 1865 el arquitecto Cirilo Varas y Soria. Restaurado en 1967 con el conjunto de la plaza, ofrece una elegante fachada de piedra sillar, con tres puertas y ventanas enrejadas en la planta baja y en la principal balcón corrido con cinco vanos adintelados, coronado el central por un gran escudo con las viejas armas de la ciudad (las de la encomienda de las casas de Almagro, con la cruz flordelisada de la Orden de Calatrava y en punta las dos trabas negras, insignia del maestre). En el ángulo izquierdo del edificio destaca una pequeña torre aterrazada en la que se encuentra un reloj de forja y de la que sobresale una singular estructura metálica, también de forja, que sostiene la campana, fechada en 1798 y que proviene del antiguo convento de Santa Catalina, de frailes franciscanos.
Flanquea el edificio consistorial una mansión solariega, de balcones asimétricos y corrido balcón angular sobre columnas pétreas, que fue restaurado junto con el resto de la plaza. La puerta de entrada, de mediados del siglo XVI, fue trasladada aquà desde un edificio de la antigua calle de la CompañÃa. En su dintel aparecen las armas de la familia Arce. Junto al bloque configurado por el Ayuntamiento y el edificio esquinado se levanta la iglesia del convento de San AgustÃn.
The Town Hall, a building that has undergone numerous transformations. One of the most important was carried out in 1865 by the architect Cirilo Varas y Soria. Restored in 1967 with the whole square, it offers an elegant ashlar stone façade, with three doors and barred windows on the ground floor and on the main floor a continuous balcony with five lintelled openings, the central one crowned by a large shield with the old arms of the city (those of the Almagro commandery, with the fleur-de-lis cross of the Order of Calatrava and at the top the two black bars, the insignia of the master). In the left corner of the building there is a small terraced tower in which there is a wrought iron clock and from which stands out a singular metal structure, also wrought iron, which holds the bell, dated 1798 and which comes from the old convent of Santa Catalina, of Franciscan friars.
The town hall is flanked by a manor house with asymmetrical balconies and a continuous corner balcony on stone columns, which was restored along with the rest of the square. The entrance door, from the mid-16th century, was moved here from a building on the old Calle de la CompañÃa. The coat of arms of the Arce family appear on its lintel. Next to the block formed by the Town Hall and the corner building stands the church of the convent of San AgustÃn.
