An aerial view over Reflection Canyon at extreme low water level this year.
Lake Powell is the second largest man-made reservoir in the United States. It locates on the Colorado River in Utah and Arizona, United States. Plagued by climate change-fueled drought and increasing demand for water, it has fallen to its lowest level on record since it was first filled more than 50 years ago. When the lake level had dropped far enough that the exposed canyon walls created a pale outline around the lake. This is how Reflection Canyon, one of side canyon in the lake powell, was seen during the lowest water level.
As the sandy and soft soil has been eroded away over the years , the root system of this old tree offers some beautiful shapes and forms.
Have a lovely day, folks! :)
Almost 70 years ago, on 3rd November 1948, a US Airforce Boeing RB-29 Superfortress descended through cloud on its planned approach to Burtonwood air force base just west of Manchester near Warrington. It had only been a short flight from the RAF bomber base at Scampton but they had flown into strong headwinds. The navigator must have misjudged the strength of the wind, and without being able to see the ground, estimated that they were already over Manchester and should descend through the cloud ready for landing. The 13 crew on board probably never saw the raised moorland around Higher Shelf Stones, 2000 feet up on Bleaklow, as the aircraft crashed into the hillside. All on board perished in the impact which scattered parts of the large aircraft over a considerable area.
Today much of the aircraft is still visible but is slowly decomposing in the harsh landscape. Much of the aluminium skin of the aircraft is corroding and being washed away by the heavy rainfall or blown away as dust on the strong winds that are a feature of that exposed place. Some may have sunk into the boggy peat.
It's ironic the aircraft had been nick named "Over exposed", the aircraft's nose art depicting a naked blonde, now that it lies very naked and exposed on the hillside. It's a sombre place, a memorial to the men who died there. And a sad end to an aircraft that must have flown around the world, many times, including missions to Bikini Atoll in the Pacific to photograph some of the atom bomb tests.
I edited this shot with a Nosferatu Dawn effect

Triple exposure fun. Beautiful amaryllis flowers with an old post card from Trudy's aunt and a yacht on Welly harbour. This image has much meaning for me as all the photos relate to specific memories. I hope it is pleasing on the eye to all who view. I'd love to hear some constructive criticism too as I slowly learn my way around photoshop. Thanks!
This is my 1st post to HBM, Ms. Monnie Standing in the window sill.

Took a photographic walk along the alley behind the business district in East Liberty along Penn Avenue, a stretch that has seen many changes over the decades. I found several stupendous walls reflecting the passage of time and fashion, left raw and exposed because this is a back alley meant for deliveries, trash, etc. and no effort has been made to render them more presentable. (In this case, the front facades of the same buildings are not in especially presentable shape, either). Now that East Liberty has gone upscale in recent years, this kind of quaint connection to the past is likely to be tidied up--a sign of good times, for some anyway, and better times yet to come, but also a loss for those, like me, who find beauty in these untidy places.
This marvelous section features a ghost sign that I think concludes with "...on [or in] the premises." The watercolor-like blue-green of the building is a joy to linger upon.

You can run, but you cannot hide
Light is being shone on the darkness
It is only when the darkness is exposed
That we can begin to heal
God Bless humanity
For courage to rise above
The evil and darkness that has
controlled the minds of men
Something to inspire

In 1968, Father Jérôme had written in his notebook: “Thanks to you, Lord, my life flows according to a remarkable continuity of trials and forced abandonments, without clearing, almost without clarity. Yet, beneath these troubles, you have all the same succeeded in helping me obtain the two or three goods that I imagined I would reach by daring and success and that arrived quite gently in silence and acceptance. We must dare to say: ‘never mind’ to all human abandonment, in order to be able to say to any divine offering: ‘I take, I am a taker.’ And you have led me, with the most perfect precision, exactly to the place, where, in my most gratuitous ambition, I wanted to go. Not toward sensual or spiritual delights, but to love for you, founded on truth and capable of lasting.”
