Today's post is another from the Dirt Cheap Photo Tour (DCPT) that Tom & I were part of in the fall in Banff.
On this particular morning, we finally caught a glimpse of some fleeting clouds that we had not be rewarded with earlier in our time in Canada.
Bow Valley, within Banff National Park, is an amazing location - full of wildlife and landscapes hard to beat anywhere. The air was crisp, the wind was light, and the sun had just peaked and kissed Crowfoot Glacier on Crowfoot Mountain. This is quite an interesting glacier, in that it was named for it's appearance (hence the crow-foot), however, it has receded to the point that the 3 lobes once part of the glacier, are now only 2.
It is a hot debate as to the reason of glacier retreats (natural occurrence or global warming), and it really doesn't matter the cause to me, but I find it disheartening to me to think that at some point in time, many of them will be gone.
Thankfully, through the magic of photography - digital, film, or video - we can all capture nature's beauty and keep it as pristine as it once was in our minds.
Sure would love to go back and stand at this some location off the Icefields Parkway and marvel at this once more.
Thanks for stopping by and especially for all of your comments. Happy Monday!

An example of how the method of photography has evolved and is still evolving, from the 1940s Agfa Karat 12 on the left, to the modern Nikon D700 Digital SLR in the middle and the LG G4 mobile phone on the right.
"St John's College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge (the full, formal name of the college is the College of St John the Evangelist in the University of Cambridge) founded by the Tudor matriarch Lady Margaret Beaufort. In constitutional terms, the college is a charitable corporation established by a charter dated 9 April 1511. The aims of the college, as specified by its statutes, are the promotion of education, religion, learning and research. It is one of the larger Oxbridge colleges in terms of student numbers. For 2018, St. John's was ranked 9th of 29 colleges in the Tompkins Table (the annual league table of Cambridge colleges) with over 30% of its students earning First-class honours.
The college's alumni comprise the winners of 11 Nobel Prizes (including physicists Paul Dirac and Max Born, the latter having been affiliated with the college in the 1930s), seven prime ministers and 12 archbishops of various countries, at least two princes and three Saints. The Romantic poet William Wordsworth studied at St John's, as did William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson, the two abolitionists who led the movement that brought slavery to an end in the British Empire. Prince William was affiliated with the college while undertaking a university-run course in estate management in 2014.
St John's is well known for its choir, its members' success in a wide variety of inter-collegiate sporting competitions and its annual May Ball. The Cambridge Apostles and the Cambridge University Moral Sciences Club were both founded by members of the college. The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race tradition furthermore began with a St John's student, and the college boat club, Lady Margaret Boat Club, is the oldest in the university. In 2011, the college celebrated its quincentenary, an event marked by a visit of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam approximately 50 miles (80 km) north of London. At the United Kingdom Census 2011, its population was 123,867 including 24,506 students. Cambridge became an important trading centre during the Roman and Viking ages, and there is archaeological evidence of settlement in the area as early as the Bronze Age. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although modern city status was not officially conferred until 1951.
The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209. The buildings of the university include King's College Chapel, Cavendish Laboratory, and the Cambridge University Library, one of the largest legal deposit libraries in the world. The city's skyline is dominated by several college buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, and the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital. Anglia Ruskin University, which evolved from the Cambridge School of Art and the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, also has its main campus in the city.
Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies born out of the university. Over 40 per cent of the workforce have a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, is soon to house premises of AstraZeneca, a hotel, and the relocated Papworth Hospital.
The first game of association football took place at Parker's Piece. The Strawberry Fair music and arts festival and Midsummer Fair are held on Midsummer Common, and the annual Cambridge Beer Festival takes place on Jesus Green. The city is adjacent to the M11 and A14 roads. Cambridge station is less than an hour from London King's Cross railway station." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
This is a photo I originally didn't like particularly much but as I have continued on I have found myself coming back to it. I used to think the ducks had ruined the shot but now I think it adds a little something else to the scene.

The orchids, and especially the mediterranean ones, are a curious and very interesting group of plants. Does the name come from the greek όρχις that means "testicles" since many of the species they possess two tubers that liken enough that part of the anatomy.
It used to be said of the orchids that are to the vegetable Kingdom that that the man to the animal Kingdom. Saving the comparisons, the sentence makes reference to that evolved, specialized and extended of this group. There are orchids in all the ecosystems of the planet, lacking alone in the deserts and in the poles. What has given a quantity of enormous species, between 20.000 and 40.000 different species, and growing (according to who you read).
Here in the Delta of the Llobregat there is around a thirty of species.
Of the most attractive adaptations in the orchids it is their seed. For the dispersion they have opted to reduce to the minimum expression the seed eliminating of her the nutritious reservations, in such a way that the "sheath" of an orchid contains thousands or even millions of minuscule seeds that you/they go from some few millimeters to microns. To be able to germinate, the seeds associate with diverse types of mushrooms that contribute them the necessary nutrients during the growth and good part of their mature life forming micorrizas colonies (mico: mushroom, riza: root). This is one of the main reasons for which artificial reproduction of these plants is so complicated. When being carried out the germination in the face of the absence of the mushrooms that you/they form the micorriza and to lack the seed of nutritious reservations their germination it must be necessarily carried out on a broth of artificial nutritious cultivation and carried out under conditions of maximum sterilization.
In these latitudes, the orchids begin to sprout with the first rains that you/they close the summer and toward the months of January February they begin to flourish. According to the species, the floración extends until final of June. With the arrival of the heat, the plant dries off and it disappears being only the bulb buried to tolerate the heat of the summer.

The long-billed hermit (Phaethornis longirostris) is a large hummingbird that is a resident breeder from central Mexico south to northwestern Colombia, extreme western Venezuela and western Ecuador. This species was formerly known as the western long-tailed hermit or just long-tailed hermit, but was renamed to highlight its unusual bill.
The long-billed hermit inhabits forest undergrowth, usually near water and its preferred food plants. It is 15 cm long and weighs 6 g. The bill is very long and decurved (3.4-3.7 cm), with a black upper and pale orange lower mandible, and the central feathers of the tapered tail are long (6.3-6.8 cm) and white-tipped.
During the breeding season, male long-billed hermits sing in communal leks of up to 25 birds, and also wiggle their long tails in display. Competitive lek singing can occupy half of the daylight hours to attract females. The female selects the best lek singer to mate. The song consists of high pitched squeaky of chink churr and shree sounds. The flight call is a high sweep.
Upon maturity, males appear to be evolving a dagger-like weapon on the beak tip as a secondary sexual trait to defend mating areas.
Long-billed hermits are trap-line feeders; they do not defend territory, but visit seasonal flowers on routes through the forest up to 1 km long. They pollinate some flowers such as Aphelandra which have long flowers adapted to the hummingbirds long curved bill.
Phaethornis is a genus of 27 species of hummingbirds in the hermit subfamily Phaethornithinae. They occur from southern Mexico, through Central America, to South America as far south as northern Argentina.

Some nature spirits seem highly evolved. Although rarely perceived by the human eye, many of them have the somatic quality of angels. However, these elementals are of the quasi-physical plane while angels have their origins in the celestial pneuma.

Greetings mate! As many of you know, I love marrying art, science, and math in my fine art portrait and landscape photography!
The 45surf and gold 45 revolver swimsuits, shirts, logos, designs, and lingerie are designed in accordance with the golden ratio! More about the design and my philosophy of "no retouching" on the beautiful goddesses in my new book:

I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!

The Golden Ratio informs a lot of my art and photographic composition. The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo! Not so long ago, I came up with the Golden Ratio Principle which describes why The Golden Ratio is so beautiful.
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.
