Spruce Flats Falls is a very photogenic waterfall in the Tremont region of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This particular shot was taken about a month ago, after several days of heavy rain in the park. The rain significantly raised the water level in the creek, while also injecting quite a bit of mud and debris. Even though the higher water eliminated some foreground opportunities, it also added some nice, almost reddish hues to the water - a tone note often seen in these Appalachian waterfall pictures. I'm really looking forward to getting back out here in the fall. I've been trying to keep my October very open!

Eastern Gulf of Finland National Park. The National Park includes the outer archipelago of the easternmost coastal municipalities. The hundred islands and islets of the park are scattered onto a large open sea area, which is 60 km wide, and far from the mainland or the inhabited islands. Gulf of Finland National Park is included in the network of the most important protected areas in the Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area. On the Russian side of the border, Gulf of Finland National Park is being planned, which will add to this complex.

One of the first pictures that got me into 'serious' landscape photography. Before this shot I was just playing about with camera's really. But this one, even over a decade past - I still love it. The light, the subject and the memory makes it for me.

After waiting for a bit at the former pig ramp until "Run 33" finishes switching at West Wye, CPKC train YKK24-27 eases up the lead alongside the Hansen-Mueller elevator with a gray KCS GP38-2 and several flat cars with a few strings of welded rail. They'll make a brief stop at West Wye Tower for some paperwork before leaving Knoche for Grandview. It's a pretty underwhelming train, but it's cool to see some KCS "battleship gray" again.
This engine started life on the Toledo, Peoria & Western in May of 1977 as the TPW No. 2001. After the "Tip-Up" merged with the Santa Fe, it became ATSF No. 3561, later renumbered to 2370 and even being repainted into the "Kodachrome" paint scheme in the midst of the ill-fated "SPSF" merger. It was repainted again into the "Yellowbonnet" scheme, and eventually sold as the GMTX No. 2370 before KCS picked it up. It was the KCS No. 4029 before being renumbered as the 1921 as a newly delivered SD70ACe took its number. 9/27/25.
An old wagon wheel and axle from years gone by. Forgive the funky title. It is just the first thing that popped into my warped mind and I often go with that.
Whites, reds, golds, yellows and greens on the salt flats near Whitehorse in southern Yukon. This is a low lying area of mud flat/salt flat not far from the Takhini river. I wasn’t sure what the red plant growing from the mud was while I was there, but on my return home, I did some research and discovered that it is called Boreal Saltwort (Salicornia borealis), and that it is considered critically imperilled in Canada. This makes me think that hiking around the Takhini Salt Flats should only be done with great care so as to avoid disturbing these amazing plants. All of that said, perhaps it is the erosion caused by animal and human activity in the area that keeps the grasses from overrunning the Saltwort altogether. Who knows? It would be nice to see some work done on this, and signs posted accordingly.
Photo taken with the Canon EOS R and RF 24-105mm f/4.0 L. Image processed from raw in Adobe Lightroom. The image was straightened slightly and cropped in just a little from the left. Otherwise, it has not been modified except for basic adjustments to exposure, colour, and light to make it as natural as possible. Like a couple of my other images from the day's outing, this would have been a wonderful photo to process as a focus stack, but in the end, it is a single exposure shot at f/8 to maximize depth of field without inducing diffraction.
This sculpture by Judy Millar is called Call Me Snake.
The sculpture is made of five intersecting flat planes of wood on a steel frame. The panels are clad in printed photographs of brushstrokes created by Millar and magnified by ten. It is Millar's first public artwork and will be on the city centre site for two years.
This is why they consider the Netherlands as flat. You can see the church tower from miles ahead / Het vlakke Nederland. Blik op Reeuwijk vanaf Tempel.
The flats in Sony's Bravia advert were demolished today - news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/6284791.stm. Thar she blows.
