The Door to Hell is a natural gas field in Derweze, Turkmenistan.
It is noted for its natural gas fire which has been burning continuously since it was lit by Soviet petrochemical scientists in 1971. The fire is fed by the rich natural gas deposits in the area. The pungent smell of burning sulfur pervades the area for some distance.

I continuously stopped along this road to take pictures; I was amazed at the physical beauty of the Dead Sea. The rocky mesas on the left in this picture reminded me of the mountains along I-70 between Eagle and Gypsum, Colorado. My friend in Israel saw the pictures I came back with and I could see how sad they made him. The water used to reach the edge of the road, barely visible in this picture along the base of the mountains. However, within the last decade, desalinization of the Dead Sea has drastically reduced water levels.
there are obstacles in my way.
this is my sister when we went out on a shoot together a couple months ago. just wanted to share one of the many shots i took that day, and to show you that i don't only take pictures of myself, which many people may think. :)

The Union House Hotel is the oldest continuously operated hotel in the area. The hotel was begun just one year after a catastrophic fire destroyed almost all of the older commercial buildings on Broadway. The fire consumed three of the city's older hotels, creating a demand for lodging that led Nicholas Altmayer to construct this hotel beginning in 1883. Two years later, Altmayer doubled the size of the building and in 1903 his son, Fred Altmayer, added a third story.

Union House Hotel is located in De Pere, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The hotel was originally run by brothers Nicholas and Fred Altmayer. In 1918, August Maternoski purchased the building. Additions have been made to the hotel in 1885, 1903, 1918 and 1922. It the oldest continuously operated hotel in the area.

De Pere (pronounced locally as "dee-peer") is a city located in Brown County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 23,800 at the 2010 census. De Pere is part of the Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area. At the arrival of the first European, Jean Nicolet, who visited the place in 1634–1635, De Pere was the site of a polyglot settlement of several thousand attracted by the fishing at the first rapids of the Fox River. In 1671 French Jesuit explorer Père Claude-Jean Allouez founded the St. Francis Xavier Mission at the last set of rapids on the Fox River before it enters Lake Michigan. The site was known as Rapides Des Pères (rapids of the fathers) which became modern day De Pere. Originally De Pere consisted solely of the community on the east side of the river; however, in 1890 the City of West De Pere, on the west side of the river, consolidated with the city of De Pere to form a single community. St. Norbert College, which abuts the banks of the Fox River on the city's west side near the Claude Allouez Bridge, was founded by Norbertine Abbot Pennings in 1898.
The Zlatorog is a superb Slovenia folk beast/hero, who when shot by a hunter goes wild in rage and gores out a valley from rock.
A chamois or mountain goat, I kind of saw his determined, wild eyes and horns in the flow of the water. It's shot just downstream from this light painting at the Mala Savica stone bridge which I took last year.
If you get there early and work as the night falls, you forget how horrifically scary it is when it's dark. And by then you have to leave anyway. It's easy to understand how these folk tales, and grimmer ones, came to life in Central Europe. Walking along with a military spec LED and second torch to light my way is a thing of terror, even though there's nothing in the woods. Try that with whale oil in a sputtering lantern and bears, wolves, bandits, etc. lurking in the shadows.
Still - this was an experiment. The left is lit with feathered continuous light from an LED. The right is lit from below with a single 1/8 power zap from a Canon 600EX-RT. Without adding light the scene would have been black.
I started shooting long exposure in urban surrounds, looking for scenes with movement that could be blurred over ten minutes. As I started to shoot long exposure in the country, things looked flat. Movement being blurred, it turned out, isn't what appealed to me in the urban environments - rather it was the way that light sources were limited, and how that changed the mood.
The more I shoot rural long exposure, the more I find that means adding light to sculpt the scene to your vision - or you are left, to my mind, a little flat.
Hope everyone is having an incredible start to the weekend!

"Doubly happy, however, is the man to whom lofty mountain-tops are within reach." - John Muir
-----
Well, I finally made it today! Today I was finally able to step foot on the Great Smoky Mountains, specifically Cades Cove. Up and on the road before the sun was thinking of waking, we we're able to enter the park at first light.
I'm told that this is normal and can cause a lot of lines to enter, but today, the colder weather seems to be keeping a lot of people away, for me however, this is still a nice break from the winter we've been having up in Ottawa and with the sun shining it was absolutely gorgeous.
I believe we're heading back to a different part of the park tomorrow with more water streams and such, looking forward to playing with my ND filter again.
Also, I was warned that there would be bears; I didn't see any... I'm not sure if this should disappoint me or comfort me? Maybe they were just stalking me and I didn't notice?
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Picked this up at a local garden center in the Spring and have been so happy with it. It has continuously bloomed all summer long and even as Fall approaches it's still in full bloom. It is a tropical shrub (zones 9a to 10b) so I'll be overwintering it indoors.
Due to the continuous wintery weather I have to upload a photo of my "First Macro Model of 2010"... (so again you'll have to cope with one of my first experiments with my new camera)
In case you didn't know: I love those agressive, but good-looking ladybirds as a model...
A day of continuous rain, grey skies and incredibly cold weather. Have we reverted to January?
In fact my whole day was rather luck lustre so a grey blank picture summed up the way I felt about the day.
everything is continuous, everything is connected, everything is a circle, or a triangel, there is a balance, balance in continuation...

There's something about the North Western fells of the Lake District on any day, but on a day of high cloud and continuous sunshine, forget the Helvellyns and Scafells, these hills are pretty well unbeatable.
With three Wainwright 2000'ers still to be ticked off, I was on a mission to bag one of them - Whiteside (2317'), number 84 out of the 128, an unassuming and little visited fell overlooking Crummock Water.
Rather than take the short route up we opted to make a day of it and walk in from Braithwaite via Grisedale Pike (2593') and Hopegill Head (2525'), so ensuring a decent high-level walk, before dropping down from Whiteside summit to High Swinside Farm, and returning via the Whinlatter Pass.
Without doubt the hardest part of the walk was the initial slog up to Grisedale Pike - over 2300' of ascent in increasingly warm temperatures. That said the light conditions on the top were just phenomenal and the effort was soon forgotten, as indeed was the fact I'd lugged the camera up too.
This shot is from just SW of the summit. In the far distance is the smooth top of Grasmoor (2791') - last visited in 1985 when I was happy to tick it off the list for the first and only time. Closer in, the huge rock face dominating the scene is Hobcarton Crag, and the little pike towards the right end of it is Hopegill Head, our next summit. Whiteside is the distant summit immediately to the right of Hopegill Head.
Fed and watered we continued and, despite it being high holiday season, after leaving the summit of Hopegill Head, we didn't see a soul until we hit the road again.
I've still got one Wainwright 2000' to be ticked off - Yewbarrow. It might only be 2058' and number 122 on the list, but it sure packs a punch regards appearance with its high crags and ridged top making an imposing entrance to the playground of the very highest of the Lakeland Peaks in Wasdale. There's absolutely nothing stopping me doing it, but for some reason I'm strangely reluctant to finish them off - perhaps next year?

This is a relatively modern rock cut symbol in the shape of a continuous triple spiral. Such a design is often linked to Bridget reverence. Saint Bridget to some people is an amalgamation of a Celtic styled goddesses and the character and life of a Saint. The two sources together making a religious figure that enabled reverence of different faiths to be joined in a single figure open to both faiths. The spiral here is close to prehistoric symbols and also to William Wallace’s hide out cave near Gorton House. The Wallace Cave is on the opposite escarpment to what are referred to as General Monk’s Battery and somewhat East of Rosslyn Chapel and Rosslyn Castle on a route from Rolsin Country Park to Hawthornden Castle.
Please to note that there are other places that have a Wallace Cave and also Wallace’s Caves. The known journeys in between slighting that is damaging defensive positions that Wallace and other forces could not garrison against their enemy show that Sir William Wallace could have spent time hiding is many remote locations and may have taken shelter in many caves across Scotland. The various caves now designated as being used by him have different historical details and each can be enjoyed on their own merit. Then there are ideas of King Robert Bruce and his times in hiding including his interaction with a determined inspiring spider.

The monument known as Wallace's Cave, cave and rock carvings
Cannot complain about the summer this year but Autumn has been a little rainy so far and with rain comes fog in the Alps, so photographing the Bavarian alps and this lake Eibsee wasn’t easy. I was here for one night and on both days it rained. I was quite disappointed as rain not only takes away the reflections- it also makes landscape photography more challenging with changing light and weather conditions. I remember not having slept the entire night and continuously checking the weather reports even though i was supposed to be on vacation. After all I hadn’t driven 700 kms for nothing. Luckily the rain stopped around 5 am and I headed out just before daybreak so I had the chance to setup my tripod etc and catch the morning light drift over the mountains. Rain did start again around 8, but by then I had my shot/“s”. This was a 5 image panorama stitched together in photoshop. As it was shot on a 30mp full frame camera, the image eventually turned out to be a whooping 99.3 MP.

Single, continuous long exposure through welding glass- in case you're interested, flickr now positions EXIF info on each photo page just beneath the tags.
This is not intentionally a selective colour image- it really was a bleak, colourless day; conditions which combined with the removal of the (horrendous) colour cast from the welding glass to leave the image as it stands before you. Look closely and you'll see areas of rust and flaking blue paintwork on the railings, for instance.

The Anomaly is a continuous process of learning
The deep space anomaly represents a fundamental challenge to our understanding of the universe, a continuous process of learning, adapting, and responding to phenomena that defy conventional explanation. It serves as a constant, stark reminder of the inherent fragility of our perceived reality and the immeasurable, unknown forces that lie beyond the ordinary confines of human comprehension.
Navigating the intricate complexities of such an anomaly is not about conquering it, for its power and nature often exceed our capacity for domination. Instead, success hinges on a profound understanding of its characteristics, a deep respect for its immense power, and a commitment to constantly evolving our strategies to coexist with its unpredictable and profound influence. This necessitates a paradigm shift in our approach to exploration and discovery, moving beyond mere observation to a dynamic engagement with the unknown, fostering a mindset of continuous adaptation and intellectual humility in the face of truly alien forces.

Side-view. Cologne Cathedral is one of the largest cathedrals in the Gothic architectural style. Its construction was begun in 1248 and completed only in 1880. Since then, it's a continuous work to keep it's outer form from decay, done mostly through stonemasons' work. The 'Dombauschule' in Cologne is training stonemasons from all over the world. Their main task lies in preserving the hundreds-year old exterior against acid rain and other air-pollution that leads to the cathedral's exterior decay.

On the South West Coast Path
Auf dem Südwestküstenpfad
The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site on the English Channel coast of southern England. It stretches from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset, a distance of about 96 mi (154 km), and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in mid-December 2001.
The site spans 185 million years of geological history, coastal erosion having exposed an almost continuous sequence of rock formation covering the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. At different times, this area has been desert, shallow tropical sea and marsh, and the fossilised remains of the various creatures that lived here have been preserved in the rocks.
Natural features seen on this stretch of coast include arches, pinnacles and stack rocks. In some places the sea has broken through resistant rocks to produce coves with restricted entrances, and in one place, the Isle of Portland is connected to the land by a narrow spit. In some parts of the coast, landslides are common. These have exposed a wide range of fossils, the different rock types each having its own typical fauna and flora, thus providing evidence of how animals and plants evolved in this region.
The area around Lulworth Cove contains a fossil forest, and 71 different rock strata have been identified at Lyme Regis, each with its own species of ammonite. The fossil collector Mary Anning lived here and her major discoveries of marine reptiles and other fossils were made at a time when the study of palaeontology was just starting to develop. The Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre provides information on the heritage coast, and the whole length of the site can be visited via the South West Coast Path.
The Jurassic Coast is subject to severe weather conditions at times. Violent storms occurred in 1824 and 1974, and these and various lesser storms have battered the cliffs and caused flooding and structural damage in coastal towns. The coast is largely an eroding landscape and management of the site aims to allow the natural processes of erosion to continue while protecting people and property. Coastal defences have been put in place in Charmouth and Weymouth, where houses are at risk, but in other places, where the coastline remains in a natural state, the management policy is to take no action and allow erosion to take its course.
The Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre is an independent educational charity situated near the beach in Charmouth; it provides information and displays on the geology of the area and the wildlife, including a large collection of fossils and a rockpool aquarium. Family fossil-hunting trips are organised from here as well as other events and activities related to the geology and natural history of the area.
The entire length of the coast can be walked on the South West Coast Path. Landslips and rockfalls are a continuing feature of the evolution of this coast. On 6 May 2008, a 1,300 ft (400 m) section of the coast was dramatically re-shaped after a landslip that was described as the worst in 100 years. There was a fatality in 2012 when 400 tonnes of rock fell onto the beach at Burton Bradstock and another cliff fall took place in 2016 at West Bay, near Bridport.

Die Jurassic Coast (deutsch „Jura-Küste“) ist ein Abschnitt entlang der südenglischen Ärmelkanal-Küste. Von Orcombe Point, bei Exmouth in der Grafschaft Devon im Westen, bis zu den Old Harry Rocks, bei Swanage in der Isle of Purbeck im Osten, erstreckt sich auf einer Länge von etwa 150 km ein Küstenstreifen, der im Jahr 2001 als erste Naturlandschaft in England von der UNESCO zum Weltnaturerbe aufgenommen wurde. Neben den beeindruckenden Fels- und Küstenformationen ist die Jurassic Coast vor allem als Fossilienfundstätte bekannt. Weite Teile sind als Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty („Gebiet von außerordentlicher natürlicher Schönheit“) geschützt.
Die Naturphänomene entlang der Küste, besonders die dortigen Felsformationen zeigen eine kontinuierliche Folge von im Trias, Jura und von in der Kreidezeit entstandenen geologischen Strukturen und lassen etwa 185 Millionen Jahre der Erdgeschichte ersichtlich werden. Die Steinschichten entlang der Jurassic Coast sind leicht nach Osten geneigt. Deswegen findet sich der älteste Teil der Küste im westlichen Bereich, die Klippen Richtung Osten bestehen aus progressiv jüngeren Gesteinen.
Die ältesten Felsen in Ost-Devon bilden die rote Küste aus Sandsteinfelsen, die aus der Triaszeit vor 251 bis 200 Millionen Jahren stammt. Damals war die Gegend eine Wüstenlandschaft. Weiter östlich schließen sich in Dorset Juraformationen aus Lehm und Kalkstein an, die nach Überflutung der Wüste entstanden. Gegen Ende der Jurazeit vor 145 Millionen Jahren sank der Meeresspiegel und es entstanden Sümpfe und Lagunen. Vor 100 Millionen Jahren bildete sich erneut ein großes tropisches Meer in diesem Gebiet. Aus der Kreidezeit bis vor etwa 65 Millionen Jahren stammen die jüngsten Formationen im Osten der Jurassic Coast.
Neben den Felsklippen weist die Landschaft noch eine Anzahl an verschiedenen Küstenformen auf wie etwa kleine Buchten (Lulworth Cove), Strände und Dünenstreifen (Chesil Beach) oder die Isle of Portland, eine Insel im Ärmelkanal nahe Weymouth.
Aufgrund der landschaftlichen Schönheit ist die Jurassic Coast ein bevorzugtes touristisches Ziel. Beliebt sind auch Wanderungen entlang des South West Coast Path, eines der Küste folgenden Fernwanderwegs. Anziehungspunkte auf diesem Weg sind geologische Besonderheiten wie etwa der Fossilwald bei Lulworth Cove und die Felsbrücke Durdle Door sowie verschiedene Aussichtspunkte. In den kleinen Städten und Dörfern gibt es Museen und Besucherzentren. Als besondere Sehenswürdigkeiten werden auch die Isle of Portland, die Fossilien im Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre und die Steinbruchhöhlen in Beer beworben. Ein zentrales Besucherzentrum (World Heritage Coast Centre) wurde 2011 in Weymouth eröffnet.
