Bishop's Stortford & East Herts

Late afternoon leaf-peeping led me to South Lake on the edge of the John Muir Wilderness in the Eastern Sierras.
As the sun was starting to play hide and seek with the clouds, I decided that hiking further onto the Bishops Pass Trail was probably not going to yield much, so I loitered around the trailhead looking for interesting compositions. I like how this wide angle, including Hurd Peak worked out from this vantage.
With several years of la Niña plaguing Southern California, South Lake is extremely low. The cafe and pontoon boat proprietor at Sabrina Lake told me they haven't been able to put boats in South Lake for three years, and this coming winter looks like another dry one. These clouds, despite being a nuisance for photography produced no rain.

Taken Addo Elephant National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park situated close to Port Elizabeth in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks. It currently ranks third in size after Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. I spent four consecutive days within the park which provided an amazing variety of wildlife.
Walking down towards the shoreline of a beautiful lake at Bishop Point, in Natrona County, Wyoming, I discovered the remnants of stone ring of a campfire The water in the foreground is actually more like a cove off the main part of the mountain lake.

"Anselm had been installed in Mecklenburg some summers ago by Henry the Lion, shortly after Pribislav returned from accompanying the duke on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The appointment carried the weight of strategy rather than coincidence; Anselm stood in Mecklenburg as both bishop and watchman, ensuring that Pribislav’s restored favor remained firmly aligned with Saxon and ecclesiastical interests..."

Bishop’s cap cactus usually reaches no more than 100 cm (39 inches) in height and up to 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter. It has four or five distinct ribs that increase to eight or more with age. The plant is globose when young, becoming cylindroid as it gains more ribs. The gray-green flesh is covered with white flecks. The fragrant yellow flowers have numerous petals and usually appear in early spring or summer during the day.
We found some very picturesque cottages in St Peter's Street, Bishop Waltham. We'd been car hunting earlier in the day, and decided to drive to this small town to have lunch.
Building of the palace started around 1210 by Bishops Jocelin of Wells and Reginald Fitz Jocelin. The chapel and great hall were added by Bishop Robert Burnell between 1275 and 1292. The walls, gatehouse and moat were added in the 14th century by Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury. The Bishops House was added in the 15th century by Bishop Thomas Beckington. The great hall later fell into disrepair and was partially demolished around 1830.
The palace was originally surrounded by a medieval deer park. When the walls were built, streams were diverted to form the moat as a reservoir. In the 1820s, the grounds within the walls were planted and laid out as pleasure grounds by Bishop George Henry Law, who created a reflecting pond near the springs. Parts of the buildings are still used as a residence by the current bishop, however much of the palace is now used for public functions and as a tourist attraction
Bishop Monkton is a village in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England, about 5 miles south of Ripon
The village dates back over 600 years. Originally there was just a small settlement of about half a dozen houses here, and the only activity was farming
A small stream (Bishop Monkton Beck) flows down the village and can be seen here at the ford in Main Street.
The 50 mile Ripon Rowel Walk passes through the village.
A beautiful sunrise and moonset over the Owens River and the Sierra Nevada mountains outside of Bishop. Mornings like this are what to me make photography so fun. Being out in the cold air, seeing the light change and hearing the birds and the other animals wake up and greet the new day with you makes it so special and makes you glad you are alive to witness it.
