Dead tree in cloudy Laurisilva forest / Lorbeerwald
Fanal Forest, Madeira, Portugal
More information about this magic place along with the picture in first comment.
The Salt Marshes by Porlock form a relatively new ecosytem. They were formed when the ridge in the pebble beach was breached (behind the tree) during a storm in 1996. Since then new species of flora and fauna have arrived, oftern at the cost of the previous residents. The saline incursion killed all of the trees.
In many ways ( colours, terrain, plants, etc.) these marshes are different from any other ecosystem in the National Park.
I particularly like the layered effect of the image provided by the different plants, then then pebble ridge, the sea and the sky.

Thanks for every view, comment, fave, and encouragement.
While everyone else is enjoying their sundowner drinks at the end of the day on safari, I chose to watch the sun slowly set over the wild untamed land of Africa.
When I first started to go on safari, the game drives were just game drives. No coffee and treats in the morning and no sunset cocktails. I prefer my game drives like that, but when forced to share a vehicle with others one has to accommodate everyone. A sunset is the only treat I need.
Medicine Lake, Alberta
"Medicine Lake is a geologic anomaly in the sense that it is not actually a lake but rather an area in which the Maligne River (flowing from Maligne Lake into the Athabasca River) backs up and suddenly disappears underground as a losing stream."

This is a dress I designed and made recently out of some quilting fabric. It also has matching cushions. I will be doing a shoot using it.
I have created a new facebook page here for behind the scenes and other stuff. You can become my fan if you like.
These two remains of a dead tree resemble the existence of a creature in the lake, just about to emerge.

This is a beautiful view of storm clouds over distant mountains at Utah Lake. It was taken while standing on a remote wilderness mountain ridge (elevation 7,318). The trail leading up to this spot was one of the most challenging that I have driven. In fact, I was told that quads had sometimes had to turn back... and I think that side-by-side and quad drivers were surprised to see a truck up there. Some of the trail was extremely steep… and rocks beat up the tire walls. But it was worth it because the landscape was surreal with dead trees lying all over the place.

Somewhere along a road from Ross, central Tasmania. I took a detour on my way home from a work trip.
Not much in the way of cloud about on that morning, but a great subject to photograph.

another foogy Friday fence
HFF, and a cheerful weekend.
I don't think foogy is a word, but it sounds good, a bit like how I feel. I meant foggy.
Taken at the Rookery outside of Ottawa. Fascinating place to see these amazing birds building their nests so high in the sky!

I made this image over the weekend at Winton Wetlands.
This swamp was flooded in 1971 to create Lake Mokoan. It created a very large water storage that irrigated thousands of hectares of agriculture. At the same time the new reservoir inundated around 7,000 Ha of agricultural land, ancient forests and beautiful and unique wetlands. The flooding killed around 150,000 river red gums.
The stags still stand and create a haunting landscape, especially as the sun goes down. I chose to focus on this lone tree, standing out in front of the dense stand of trees behind.
I see strength in this tree and it makes me feel oddly emotional.
Even though most of these trees are dead, they still provide crucial habitat for so many bird species. The wetland hasn't had any water for several years now.
Burned logs and dead trees are scattered all along a mountain bluff overlooking Utah Lake far below and the distant mountain ranges. Snow still lingers on the peaks in June. This was a challenging climb in a 4x4 off-road truck, but well worth it!

This Bald Eagle was in a tall dead tree about 50 yards away in a dense fog. I cropped the picture a bit, and tried to tease out a few details in processing.
Seen on my first and only trip to Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge.
A male Downy Woodpecker was hiding from the other birds at the suet feeder.
I was inside my blind for this shot.

Ho sempre ammirato gli alberi pionieri in montagna, sono figli del vento che li ha portati lassù, e poi hanno imparato a lottare contro le avversità climatiche vivendo anche a lungo.
Una volta arrivati alla fine stanchi ed esausti, hanno il privilegio di sopravvivere alla morte mostrandosi ancora in tutta la loro selvaggia bellezza.
Questo abita a 1100 metri di altezza ai margini di un passo appenninico.
Heroic and proud
I have always admired the pioneer trees in the mountains, they are children of the wind that sowed them up there, and then they learned to fight against climatic adversities even living for a long time.
Once they arrive at the end tired and exhausted, they have the privilege of surviving death by still showing themselves in all their wild beauty.
I met this at an altitude of 1100 meters on the edge of an mountain pass.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited of all the U.S. National Parks. And yet, it can be one of the most quiet, serene and transformative locations a person can experience.
Even here, within Cades Cove, the most popular destination in the park, one can find solitude hiking along Abrams Falls Trail. This scene, upstream from the falls, just begs a person to stop and listen to nature. The occasional burst of pink and white Tennessee Mountain Laurel gives away the Spring season this photo was captured. I'm certain that the burst of color in Autumn is unparalleled, but perhaps a bit overwhelming by comparison. Someday, perhaps, I will get the chance to visit during that time of year.

We got up before dawn on our last day at Moab, to go back to Arches. The weather did not look too good as we ate a great breakfast at the Moab Diner (Highly Recommended). It started to lighten up though and we went into the park in the poor visibility of the low hanging cloud. When we got into the Windows area of the park, we were greeted by an other-worldly and astonishingly beautiful scene. I will post a few photos and hope I can convey some of he magic. Margaret and I will never forget this morning.
Weir Lake, on the eastern slope of Table Mountain in the Eastern Sierra range of California is really a small pool along the South Fork of Bishop Creek flowing from South Lake.
At roughly 9500' of elevation, this location is often snow covered by mid-Autumn, though at this time, there was little snow, and plenty of cover. It was nice to experience some colors of fall, having grown up on the East Coast where Autumn is much more vibrant and varied in its hues.
Congrats on Explore!
