I call this Confluence because there are a number of factors coming together in this sunset/early twilight vista looking east: Earth Shadow, Belt of Venus colors, a singular broad anti-crepuscular ray fading into the vanishing point, and the moon.

J’ai pris cette photo sous le bâtiment du musée des confluences à Lyon. Les personnes en silhouettes sur le bord opposé du bassin étaient toutes dans des postures expressives. Deux secondes avant ou deux secondes après, la photo aurait forcément été différente …
2,000 feet down two rivers meet where the Green offers up it’s current to the Colorado. Their headwaters distant and in differing states, yet join here in these depths for a dance through the Grand to empty with all the others flowing, to begin again as rain.
I created this piece in Adobe Fresco. It is a meditation on the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers and the rock formations that line the river's flow. A print of this and other artwork will be on display in the Datura Deli in Moonflower Market in Moab, Utah for July and August.

The confluence of the Downie River and the North Fork of the Yuba: a great place to live if you like the rushing sound of the white water.

Not managing to get out much at the moment, partly due to a dodgy knee and rubbish weather, so another one from last year

Potes is a town in northern Spain situated at the confluence of the Quiviesa and Deva rivers, and is also located at the junction of four valleys. This location gives the town its spectacular mountainous landscape within the Picos de Europa region
York Minster, situated in North England, proudly claims to be one of the world's most magnificent cathedrals. I'd been planning to visit the location for over a year, but it wasn't until I was standing inside it, taking in the awesome spectacle of its nave, that I realised how true that claim is.
The site's history extends back almost 2,000 years, with the remains of Roman barracks uncovered in the 1960s and now on display in the Minster's undercroft. The current building is around 800 years old, and on its north side is the Chapter House, a circular space ringed with low stalls, soaring stained-glass windows and a 60ft-high ribbed-vault ceiling. The day-to-day running of the Minster once took place here, and it was praised as revolutionary for its time because it lacked any central pillar to support the ceiling. From a photography standpoint, this was must-see architecture, not least because the absence of a central pillar meant it would be possible to capture a look-up directly beneath the ceiling.
The image was captured shortly after the Minster opened in the morning, and is a blend of eight bracketed exposures that were later blended in Photoshop using luminosity masks. My aim was to bring out as much of the nuance as possible in both the Chapter House's stone pillars and in the wooden roof, so I shifted the midtones and shadows towards the brighter exposures. At the same time I wanted to preserve the detail within the windows, so the highlights were geared towards my darker exposures. I also wanted to emphasise a sense of depth and proportion across the ceiling, so a combination of the Pen Tool and radial gradient masks were used to blend in brighter exposures at the centre of the frame.
When colour-grading the image, it was important to me to try to put the focus on the location's symmetry and ornate decorated architecture. For this reason I opted for quite a muted palette. The bold reddish-yellow tones across the ceiling were toned down, with only a low-opacity Colour Lookup applied to the centre of the ceiling using the Soft Light blend mode and the Soft Warming preset. Small adjustments were made using Colour Balance, Hue/Saturation and Curves layers to add a hint of blue to the shadows and to play up some of the warmth from the interior lighting, particularly along the carvings at the lower-centre of the frame.
Using Nik's Silver Efex Pro on a layer set to the Luminosity blend mode, I gently increased the image's dynamic brightness and amplified the whites, as well as lowering the midtone and shadow structure along the stone columns, which had a lovely gritty texture but which I thought might distract from the glass windows and ceiling that were the key components of the image. Lastly, inside Colour Efex Pro, I used the Pro Contrast filter to selectively increase the intensity of light coming through the windows on the left side of the frame. This was to ensure a balanced finish, as the position of the sun early in the morning meant the windows on the right side were slightly brighter than on the left.
The final result hopefully conveys the location's beautifully geometric architecture, and perhaps also the admirable workmanship that went into planning and constructing such a sublime building and on such an enormous scale during the late 13th century.

This is a photo on the East Rim of the Grand Canyon near the confluence of the Colorado and the Little Colorado Rivers. This lies in the Navajo Nation and you need a permit to go here. Permits can be purchased in nearby Cameron, Az. This is the site that is involved in the "Grand Canyon Escalade" bill, a bill that proposes to built tourist resort and a tram gondola down into the canyon, at the confluence of the 2 rivers. In this photo the Little Colorado is hidden behind the rock to the left. As you might expect, there has been a great deal of disagreement and discussion about the bill in the Navajo Nation. Many of the council members oppose the bill. The bill was defeated but there are signs it make reemerge with some changes. The project would include a hotel, visitors center, and a parking lot on the rim. There would be a tram gondola down to the canyon floor at the rivers confluence, a cafe near the rivers, and a river walk.
The area currently is deserted pristine land. You have to drive 20-30 miles (30-50 km) down dirt roads to reach the site. There literally hundreds of miles of dirt roads around the East Rim covering a vast area. There are multiple spectacular viewpoints looking over the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers, and the river views, in my opinion, are better than from the North or South Rims.
In 3 full days of scouting and 3 full nights of shooting I did not encounter a single human. There are quite a few free ranging horses and a few cattle. I also encountered a few coyote. Note - If you go there you will be a long way from help, so take plenty of water and gas.
This is the site of the proposed Escalade, but there are actually better views of the 2 rivers, which I will post soon.
By the way, this is a single exposure taken with the new Sigma 14 mm f/1.8 lens, taken at f 1.8, 25 seconds, and ISO 12,800. I would now have been able to get this detail within the dark canyon without the wide aperture, at least not in a single exposure.

Thanks for all the kind support! Hope you enjoy! A big thank you to the wonderful Flickr family. It's a pleasure to post here.
Eilean Donan, where three of Scotland's great sea lochs meet - Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh. Without question one of the most recognisable and iconic spots in the country.
