17 MILE DRIVE

THANK YOU to ALL for 650.000 VIEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scene from Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, California

It is an odd winter. The piles of snow we had ten days ago have disappeared under above zero temperatures and rain. This trend is uncommon in January in Ontario! The snow you see in this photo is now all gone!

仰望著大樹，總會讓我想問，你在這裡站了多久？看了多少人？聽過多少事？

For my Tennessee friends, these were your mountains around noon today....I braved the elements, without a coat to ride to the TN state line to capture this before the roads got slick.

I think this may be a Lodgepole Pine but.....

...kinda reminded me of a histogram. Besides a slight sharpening adjustment, border and name, this photo is untouched.

Not the most exciting subject but for some reason I liked the results. When I took the photo I hadn't planned on posting it.

I took this with the Meyer-Optik Goerlitz Trioplan f2.8/100 lens with the lens wide open at f2.8.

....wisdom in hardship.

This burnt forest at Bryce Canyon shows slow recovery but offered an eerie but beautiful photo opportunity against the clearing storm cloud backdrop.

Così la neve al sol si disigilla;

così al vento ne le foglie levi

si perdea la sentenza di Sibilla.

(Dante Alighieri, Paradiso XXXIII, 64-66).
