The bridge that I've 'shot' many times, but this is the first time from this viewpoint. ....Makes a change I suppose, and I do
rather like it.

Grand Canyon National Park
Desert View
South Rim
Arizona, USA
The Grand Canyon was formed over 5 to 6 million of years by the erosion caused by the Colorado River. Many visitors are surprised with the cool rim temperatures, but with the South Rim at an elevation ranging to over 7,000 feet, winter snow averages about 60 inches a year. The North Rim elevation is about 1,000 feet higher and receives an average of 144 inches of snow a year and is closed from mid-autumn to mid-spring.
Even taken from the same location and same focal length, every photo the Grand Canyon is different. The clouds, time of year and time of day impacts the view so greatly.
The photo was taken during the afternoon with the warmer light of a late autumn day. When I view this photo, I can't help but think layers. Layers of colors, layers of canyons across the expanse and the geological layers exposed by millions of years of erosion. Note the Colorado River meandering through the photo. While it is seen well at this location, it is hidden by the depth of the canyon at many locations. Beyond being the architect of the canyon it provides needed water to much of the southwest.
It strikes me that nothing man made can be seen and that had a Native American stood at this location 5,000 years ago, the view would have been the same.
The canyon is more than 200 miles long 12 miles wide and a mile deep. The national park is visited by about 6 million people a year. On a clear day, like this one, it is possible to see for 100 miles and the distance across to the North Rim seems to shrink.
There are always visitors at the South Rim of the park, but during the winter season, it is possible to find overlooks with few or no other visitors. One can find a sense of serenity when viewing a scene like this especially when viewing it alone.

Noticed these stairs the other day, almost walked past before the dappled light caught my eye.
Happy Stairs for Saturday.

The WayThrough the Woods Rudyard Kipling
THEY shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago.
Weather and rain have undone it again,
And now you would never know
There was once a road through the woods
Before they planted the trees.
It is underneath the coppice and heath,
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods,
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods.
Yet, if you enter the woods
Of a summer evening late,
When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools
Where the otter whistles his mate,
(They fear not men in the woods,
Because they see so few.)
You will hear the beat of a horse's feet,
And the swish of a skirt in the dew,
Steadily cantering through
The misty solitudes,
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods.
But there is no road through the woods.

Grand Canyon National Park
Desert View Overlook
Arizona, USA
The Grand Canyon was formed over 5 to 6 million of years by the erosion caused by the Colorado River. Many visitors are surprised with the cool rim temperatures, but with the South Rim at an elevation ranging to over 7,000 feet, winter snow averages about 60 inches a year. The North Rim elevation is about 1,000 feet higher and receives an average of 144 inches of snow a year and is closed from mid-autumn to mid-spring.
The photo was taken during the afternoon with the warmer light of a late autumn day. I am often amazed at just how much the light difference from season of the year, time of day and the clouds influence the colors viewed from any location within the park.
The canyon is more than 200 miles long 12 miles wide and a mile deep. The national park is visited by about 6 million people a year. On a clear day, like this one, it is possible to see for 100 miles and the distance across to the North Rim seems to shrink.
There are always visitors at the South Rim of the park, but during the winter season, it is possible to find overlooks with few or no other visitors. One can find a sense of serenity when viewing a scene like this especially when viewing it alone.
On a sad note, while millions of visitors respect the beauty of the work of Mother Nature, on this trip, we saw that a few felt compelled to use markers to on some of the safety walls and leave behind messages, initials, etc.

The Grand Canyon
The many colors, layers and textures of the Grand Canyon are enhanced by the afternoon's dappled light.
The magnificent Grand Canyon National Park is located in northern Arizona and was formed over millions of years by the Colorado River. The canyon is more than 200 miles long 12 miles wide and a mile deep. The national park is visited by about 5 million people a year.
To me the colors and view of the canyon change with the season, time of day and of course clouds. This photo was taken during the late winter when the visiting crowds are almost non-existent. It almost feels strange. I've had the experience of going to one of the overlooks and being the only one there. Every visit brings new discoveries and a great appreciation for the works of nature.

Morning light dapples a riot of ragwort wildflowers.
DeKalb County (Clairmont Heights), Georgia, USA.
12 April 2025.

▶ Geographical notes:
☞ As seen on the purple-blazed Three Creeks Trail: one in a "labyrinth of soft-surfaced trails" in and around a 120-acre suburban Piedmont forest located in three Atlanta, Georgia-metropolitan-area DeKalb County parks: Mason Mill Park, Medlock Park, and Melton Park.
☞ The three creeks of the trail's name are Glenn Creek, Burnt Fork Creek, and South Fork Peachtree Creek. The wildflowers lie in wetlands of the third.

Moss-covered Beech trees near the Burrator Reservoir on Dartmoor
I reduced clarity in processing to give a softer look.
This is one of my favorite places I've visited. High up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, it's situated with all of the things a guy could want. Less people around, a wonderful river to fish and enjoy, beautiful mountains, aspen and pine trees, etc. I wish I could visit more often!
Also, the little Olympus XA was a wonderful vacation camera. It pretty much lived in my pocket and capture many photos that made me glad I had it with me.

Willow Emerald Damselfly / chalcolestes viridis. Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk. 15/08/16.
I was absolutely thrilled to get my first sightings of WED's this month at Strumpshaw. They really are gorgeous and so confiding, particularly the territorial males.
Once I had found two hot-spots to observe and photograph them in, I made repeated visits. Fascinating to watch their activities unfolding in the dappled light created by branches overhanging still water.
Lovely dappled light in the woods.

Looking north from the summit of Avalanche Peak, New Zealand. Mt. Rolleston at top center, deep canyons below to the left and right. We went up the very steep Avalanche Track (easier going up than down, partly due to occasional rock climbing in the lower part), and down the Scott Track. Both routes were awesome! Good weather like this really helps.
The orange-brown color is moss, which grows, and stabilizes the ground, wherever the ground is stable. This makes a two-phase or biphasic system--either scree slope or consolidated ground. Nature is amazing.

Young eastern grey kangaroo takes a pensive break under the casuarinas at David Fleay Wildlife Park on the Queensland Gold Coast.
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.

Wood Horsetails in Risveden, Sweden (Slerboåns dalgång Nature reserve). This highly mossy part of the forest had many groupings of this beautiful plant.
The mobility scooter is a lovely shade of red so it was a bit of a struggle for me decide whether to leave the photo in colour or to convert to B&W but now that I've done it I think the overall photo looks much better in B&W. It was a gorgeous early evening and I loved the way the dappled sun played out on the scene.
I may be a bit slow in responding to any comments that might come my way as I've been unwell since last weekend and I'm still not up to par.
I hope you all have wonderful weekends.
Well, officially it is Balmacaan Wood but the Bluebells were approaching their 'peak' a week or so ago and I was drawn to this beautiful view on the edge of the woods.
There had been some rain and I struggled to get a balance between the shadows and bright spots in the scene. Use of a polariser to overcome the reflection from the droplets and a touch of negative exposure compensation seemed to help.

Sometimes the views are just much better in the air! I am always fascinated by the landscape in the air. The perspective completely changes. Last month I had the opportunity again to fly over the Highlands in Iceland. The landscape here is incredible with its various textures and colors. I'm still in awe of the beauty of this area. The conditions were just right with the diffused and dappled light dancing through the mountains. Such an amazing experience!
