Approaching Sylvan Pass from Yellowstone National Park's east entrance, I encountered this snag forest in the Absaroka Range.
Snag forests are actually quite beneficial to the ecosystem, providing nutrient rich resources to the various fora and fauna inhabiting the area. This forest is a result of lightning caused wildfires in 2007.
Along the Upper East Canyon of Zion National Park travelers will find the aptly named Checkerboard Mesa.
The cone-shaped White Cliffs formation has unique cross-hatching patterns that, even when not filled with winter snow, conjure up its name.
New Year's Day 2020 was very overcast in this part of Utah, so we left Zion for a two hour drive to Bryce, where the skies were more open in the mid-afternoon. Along the way, this was a neat stop to hike down into the dry bed of Pine Creek and squeeze a few images on a relatively dull day.
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."

After a valley floods to make a reservoir...Bursa Province, Turkey - taken looking down on the reservoir inflow river as it twisted it's way through the valley.
Often my colour-blindness is a problem - many shades and graduations of tone are lost to me...as this was taken mid afternoon in bright sunlight, I could only push to a 30s exposure, long would've have smoothed the river flow more
Moon + Snow +dead tree 2 the grand Canyon =WOW
Just Lucky to have made the drive up north to capture this winter wonderland.
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.

"But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around"
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!

Anyone who has hiked to Devil's Bridge in Sedona, Arizona knows that this image is something of a feat. The Bridge is one of the most popular hikes in Sedona and typically very crowded (as it was this day).
The 5' wide, 45' long and 54' high sandstone arch (created by wind and weather erosion vice flowing water, which creates natural bridges) is the tallest in the Sedona region. The trail is not particularly strenuous, but it does start at 4400' and climb to 4900'. Parking near the trailhead is often jammed, and the road is really suitable only for 4WD vehicles. We hiked the Mescal and Chuckwagon Trails to the trailhead and enjoyed a spectacular spring day.
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!

Yeah, I might speak so long

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.
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.

The Dead Tree
Kordan, Danson, Wallace, Dros and Dom Haughton (to name but a few) have all been here before to pave the path for many others to follow. Each in his own style, composition and artistic vision, all have taken beautiful and inspiring images. The dead tree is situated just off the trail leading towards Pico Ruivo, Madeira, in a section strewn with dead shrubs and trees that shine like silver jewels under the sun. I was so proud and lucky to get there, certainly under great conditions
