Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
You do me (and hopefully yourself) a big favour by pressing L and then F11, to view at maximum size.
The morning sun gracing the top of Cascade Mountain as seen from Banff Ave, in Banff, Alberta, Canada.
Seen from Sunrise area of the Park at sunrise. Easy to see why this part of the park was named Sunrise, as first light on Rainier glows nicely at dawn.
"The broad top of Mount Rainier contains three named summits. The highest is called the Columbia Crest. The second highest summit is Point Success, 14,158 ft (4,315 m), at the southern edge of the summit plateau, atop the ridge known as Success Cleaver. It has a topographic prominence of about 138 ft (42 m), so it is not considered a separate peak. The lowest of the three summits is Liberty Cap, 14,112 ft (4,301 m), at the northwestern edge, which overlooks Liberty Ridge, the Sunset Amphitheater, and the dramatic Willis Wall. Liberty Cap has a prominence of 492 ft (150 m), and so would qualify as a separate peak under most strictly prominence-based rules. A prominence cutoff of 400 ft (122 m) is commonly used in Washington state.
High on the eastern flank of Mount Rainier is a peak known as Little Tahoma Peak, 11,138 ft (3,395 m), an eroded remnant of the earlier, much higher, Mount Rainier. It has a prominence of 858 ft (262 m), and it is almost never climbed in direct conjunction with Columbia Crest, so it is usually considered a separate peak. If considered separately from Mt. Rainier, Little Tahoma Peak would be the third highest mountain peak in Washington." Wiki
An amazing massif from any angle.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!
Warm morning light hits the Mesquite Dunes of Death Valley. This will likely be the last in my DV series.

This morning at dawn (6:16 am) at my "home location", no problem with Social Distancing. I have never met anyone there so early.
(long exposure, 66 seconds).

As I wondered around on this very frosty morning, the area near the college athletic field was just delightful. The sun was peeking through the trees, and the early morning blue was simply beautiful.
Mother Nature is quite the artist, always surprising and brilliant, never disappointing!

I climbed up the ridge early morning to check on the smokey landscape in the west with the fires happening here. But then, when I looked east, I found a more compelling scene. This is a very old juniper that has been shaped and twisted by its home on the top of the ridge.

"There are no categories in contemporary art. There are no rules. Artists are given the freedom to make and create whatever they please and call it whatever they please. I identify with that system, or lack of system, much more than I do the landscape of contemporary publishing." - James Frey
I had quickly rushed to the waterside to capture this beautiful Sunrise that was behind the Tamar Bridge.The sky just lit up and the colours were beautiful! I hope you all like it as much as I do!
Enjoy your weekend!
Was a great way to start a day by pushing it up the Misery Trail swiftly in the dark to be in position to catch the first light on this primordial section of Smith Rock. It was admittedly better when I topped out, slowed down and enjoyed this morning splendor.
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
'Last Sun' and 'First Light' is a series of photos taken on Dec. 31, 2022 and Jan. 1st, 2023.
On both days, I used a fixed camera setting to take the photos, resulting sometimes in over- or underexposure.
It is interesting how the fixed settings (aperture, exposure time and iso) reflect the mood, lightness or dimness of the respective days.
'Last Sun' was taken with a 35mm lens, iso 100, f.8 and 1/60.
'First Light' was taken with a 70-200mm lens, iso 160 (400 for the darkest shades), f.4 and 1/200.
No cropping (3x2) except occasional 4x3.
Weather app has been a bit rubbish at predicting cloud cover in the past couple of weeks so I've gone back to the good old look out of the window method.
The dog was all harnessed and ready to go out for her morning walk. Change of plan. Happy Ade, unhappy dog.
I waited and waited and eventually it came!

The new day light starts to warm the Nuria mountains and all the area between Latium and Abruzzo. The “Gran Sasso” massif higher peak, “Corno Grande” (“Big Horn”, 2,912 metres) is visible in this picture on the horizon, well highlighted by the first lights of the day. The two plains, covered by the fog (“clouds inversion” phenomenon) are the Cornino lake plain and the Rascino lake plain, located in the “Cicolano” area, about 75 km North-Est from Rome. The city lights located between the two foggy planes and the “Gran Sasso” massif belong to L’Aquila.

The increase in the Yellow Warbler population in Britannia has led to an increase in the volume and violence levels in many areas. Yellow Warbler males seeks to outsing and outmuscle each other, and the chases that lead to territory being established are very intense. This can have a negative impact on those migrants moving through, and reduces the birding and photography experience a bit - they are becoming the Red-winged Blackbirds of the Warbler world, just smaller and brighter.
But they are a little slow to rise. The half hour between first light and the recommencement of bird fight club gives a person the opportunity to see another side of these birds. That slow start, the atmospheric lighting before the sun rises, and the new growth in their habitats, creates a magical effect for photography - something I tried to capture with this image.
This image of Burnham-on-Sea low lighthouse, taken at first light, is my first image posted in 2020. Hopefully, it will be the first of many this year.
Thank you for dropping by and feel free to leave a comment, good or bad.
Another from Swanage albeit the old pier. A 2 minute long exposure with simple pastel colours coming through after sunrise.
The early mist I could see coming along the road had retreated back to Elterwater by the time I'd walked up from the roadside parking. Quite liked the view over to Yew How on this morning.
What's the collective noun for a group of togs?
A frustration? A vexation? A desperation?
Not words you would normally associate with Liverpool but the skyline can be seen on the 'far right', then New Brighton sat proudly at the entrance of The Mersey, then the giraffes of the docks and finally Crosby beach.
