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.
Saw the sun rising over Flat Iron Mountain at Lost Dutchman State Park this morning and knew I needed a shot. Or 12. Went monochrome because the colors were just not working out.
This has been the warmest spell of February weather I can remember. Warm sunshine and almost flat calm water at Burghead harbour. Global warming for sure...

This is Toronto's own Flatiron Bulding. The Flatiron was constructed in 1897 predating the famous Flatiron Building in NYC.
The Flat Iron Building, in downtown Edmonton. Built in 1913, it's seen two pandemics. It's my favourite corner in Edmonton.
No whining. You just soldier on at the Gibson Block...

Even flatter calm...another tranquil take from Burghead photoshoot.

The flat hill in the distance is a marvelous formation that can be recognised from miles away. Just to the south of it is located the historic 77 ranch first owned by Peck and Converse. Mike Shonsey of the Johnson County Range War was employed by the 77 ranch. www.wheeler-roots.org/histories/history-shonsey.php
In his book,The long trail from Texas, Ad Spaugh talks of burying a couple children who live with thier mother in a cabin east of Flat Top that took sick and died. They were buried on a pine knoll nearby Flat Top by a crew of sad cowboys.
My Grandmother who knew Ad and sadly recalled visiting with him about the burial. She told me of it before I had ever read the book many years later. Exciting and hard times...
Several days of continuous rain led to very high flow rates over Spruce Flats Falls in the Tremont area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TN. Even though the water removed a lot of interesting foreground, the warms tones from the mud added another dimension to the image. I've never worked so hard for pictures as I did here, for several reasons. First, my camera started acting very strange the day before at Black Balsam Knob (almost no buttons working, the camera would take a picture when it was turned on, etc.). I think humidity got inside the body during a wet night in the tent. Thankfully, after taking off the lens and removing the battery/memory card, the camera dried out somewhat (still quirky) to a functioning state. To be careful, I held an umbrella over the camera during this particular shoot to keep off the light rain. Holding the umbrella in one hand and manipulating the camera/tripod with the other is hard work!
Spruce Flats Falls isn't marked on a lot of maps of the park for some reason. Maybe it's because the Great Smoky Mountain Institute often uses the falls for photography workshops? I'm not sure. But anyway, here's the directions to the falls: Park in the parking lot next to the Institute in the Tremont area. Follow the signs for Lumberjack Gap Trail up a small gravel road to some more buildings. On the left side the trail continues up, and a side trail marked 'Falls' diverges up and to the right. The trail climbs over a small ridge and down to the falls (about a mile in length, I would say). Hope this helps some of you find the falls, since the park doesn't make it easy.

One of the Copley Mesas, locally called the Copley Flat Tops. This one isn't very flat on top, at least at this end. A little cloud in the sky. Processed in Lightroom, Tamron lens.
