Current Day RAF (circa. 2009)

The river moved fast and the clouds overhead were changing swiftly but for me the moment was still.
Holy smokes - I look at this after the Monday morning rush and start of the week and I want to go back! I'll close my eyes and dream....for now! :-)
Happy new week all! Hope it is filled with good thoughts and calm waters.
My favourite tree on the Midland Highway, which connects between Hobart and Launceston in Tasmania, Australia.
I've photographed this tree on several occasions. Each time I do I notice subtle differences and deterioration in the health of the tree. A few less limbs, broken branches, etc. This grand old lifeform is reaching the end of its lifespan.
This image was taken nearly a year ago - I really have to take another shot to capture its current stand.

IORY 1 year ago looked completely different than it does now, the yellow SD60s took over quite quickly and it's definitely reduced my reasons to photograph the railroad, but sometimes you just end up doing it anyways out of boredom.
It's late December and hordes of photographers are currently converging on Big Sur's Pfeiffer beach from all over the world. As one puzzled visitor asked me last week, "What's with all the photographers? What are they shooting?" The answer, of course, is the light pouring through the Keyhole Arch which only happens from mid December through January each year.
Just out of curiosity, I headed back this year on solstice to see if the light was any better than two years ago but while I was there, I discovered that Pfeiffer offers far more for photographers than just the light in the Keyhole Arch. For starters, this photo isn't from the Keyhole. It's from another small archway just South of the keyhole. Most photographers completely ignore this spot since the multitudes are flocking the the larger archway to the North. Secondly, the TIDE is a huge factor in what type of light will make it through the arch and for how long. Even though I was there on December 21, the light we had two years ago was far superior to what we had this year as the high water level actually cut off the light through the arch with at least 10 minutes of golden sunlight left. And lastly, the entire area is an incredible location to shoot. In spite of the many opportunities on this stretch of coastline, I watched almost 50 photographers leave en masse as soon as the sun dipped below the horizon, migrating back to their cars in droves while there was still plenty of good light and sunset color in the sky. Why? The sunlight in the archway had disappeared, and to them, the show was now over.

With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames.
Current
May. Rain has been pounding the Adirondacks for several days, and supersaturated the mountains. Seasonal streams have awakened, runoff and percolation feed the flow, all that water finding it’s lowest level and charging the whole Schroon ecosystem. Some miles below the dam at the lake, the river picks up speed on gradients through boulder fields, now inundated and drowned under the flow. They are immovable, their resistance invisible but for the standing waves throughout the volume. A light mist hovers above the raging current. Standing this close, I can feel the vibration of it’s power, urging my blood pressure higher to match the atmosphere I’m in. Here is spring as allegory to life, the relentless wildness of youth, bursting to race ahead towards that age when you don’t. What I wouldn’t give to truly feel that voltage again, and know the trajectory of where I was headed, instead of treading, spent, looking back at where I’ve come. I stay awhile on the edge of the surge, enjoying the power of the season.
Etna is currently the highest and the largest volcanic cone in Europe (145 km circuit at the foot). Height of 3340 m above sea level (as a result of explosions is subject to change).
It is composed mainly of basalt. From crater at the top bring out the steam and gases, during an eruption - ash and volcanic bombs. The lower slopes are densely populated. Cultivated fields, orchards and vineyards date back to about 800-900 m above sea level The upper limit of the forest at an altitude of 2200 m above sea level. In the upper floor for most of the year with snow. Since the 80 th century there was many explosion, which the strongest was in 1669. It was then destroyed Catania. Last eruption took place March 4, 2012 year.

Etna to obecnie najwyższy i największy w Europie stożek wulkaniczny (145 km obwodu u podnóża). Wysokość 3340 m n.p.m. (wskutek wybuchów ulega zmianom).
Zbudowany jest głównie z bazaltów. Z krateru na szczycie wydobywają się pary i gazy, w czasie erupcji – bomby wulkaniczne i popioły. Dolne stoki są gęsto zaludnione. Pola uprawne, sady i winnice sięgają ok. 800–900 m n.p.m. Górna granica lasu na wysokości 2200 m n.p.m. W górnym piętrze przez większą część roku zalega śnieg. Od V wieku zanotowano 80 dużych wybuchów, z których najsilniejszy był w 1669 roku. Została wtedy zniszczona Katania. Ostatnia erupcja wulkanu nastąpiła 4 marca 2012 roku.
We've been experiencing a lot of cloudy weather recently and very little sun so, I was grateful for a short sunny period while I took this reflection in a channel of water flowing between buildings in Kingston.
Part of the Wind River Canyon (Wyoming), as its rapids work toward the awaking light! Great Trout water with limited access.
This shot captures the change in weather conditions at the entrance to Pipers River. Here the currents would make swimming a very dangerous proposition. If you enlarge the channel marker you'll see its shake in the water. This is not lack of focus, but even at 1/1250 it is shaking furiously in the wind and current.
I chose sepia here (through colour toning) because I wanted to emulate the look achieved by England's great pioneer of Pictorialism, P.H. Emerson (1856-1936), and especially his East Anglia seascapes. There is a marvellous book by Nancy Newhall on Emerson that I have enjoyed for a little while, "P.H. Emerson: The Fight for Photography as a Fine Art" (Aperture, 1975). Even greats of early 20th century photography, like Alfred Stieglitz, looked up to Emerson as a master.
The current forecast says that the rain and cooler than average temperatures that we have been having here in California should be moving out of the area. Next week promises to be sunny and warmer. Our volunteer projects here at Gleanings for the Hungry are also almost completed, so it is about time for my wife and I to leave. We will have limited Internet access while traveling, so I will not be active on Flickr for a while. I am hoping to have lots of photo taking opportunities though. HGGT

This is a continuation of the current project of an Image a day.
This will take a year to complete. It will be a "Colour Project"....numbered 731 to 1100 and it will begin on September 1st 2022..
I will also include an additional 4 Sets that will last a month each.
First will be Vines and Vineyards in November.2022.
Second is Forests ,,Water, ,Trees and Leaves in February 2023.
Third "Light Eating Objects" in May 2023.
Forth will be another B&W . August 2023.
On top of all that every month will feature a small set of 4 pics with different themes.
As you can see I shall be a busy Bunny!.
Hope you like the stuff!!!!!!!.
We are currently holidaying on Anglesey and it is hard to prepare new photographs for flickr since we are out and about all days. So here an archive shot of my favourite lighthouse: Eilean Glas lighthouse on Scalpay, Outer Hebrides. The lighthouse is automatic like all lighthouses and has been lovingly restored by the Scottish authority, while all the surrounding buildings are in private hand and badly rotting away. This is such an incredible place and setting, a pity that the owner of the land appears bound to let it crumble until there is nothing left.
