From the ground, it really does look impenetrable. This is not a popular view, but it gave me a sense of forboding even in the daytime sun.
Cathedral Valley, Utah and Cathedral Mesa are erosional expressions of Permian to Cretaceous age sandstones, siltstones, and mudstones. Cathedral Mesa is capped by harder Triassic sandstones underlain by softer, older silt- and mudstones. Eventually, Cathedral Mesa will disintegrate into rounded mudstone hills like those in the foreground.
I went in to Liverpool today to do some christmas shopping. I didn't buy a single thing. I did take a few photies 'tho.

A path leading into a pine tree forest in the middle of Clumber Park just south of Sheffield, UK.
For some reason theres an alarming amount of deforestation going on there. I suspect its a managed forest - pines wont be the native tree for this area (given its part of sherwood forest), so they're probably off to be made into ikea furniture.

Last minute decision to go out. It wasn't looking promising for a good sunset but I was rewarded by some great light. Just shows it's always worth getting out.
Mount Olivet Cemetery - Nashville, TN.
This is the Steger Mausoleum located just outside Confederate Circle. This immediate area has always been very dark and forboding. The small area is very congested and contains monuments which are very old and blackened. Just outside the Steger Monument lies Felix Grundy - Senator and Congressman from Tennessee and who also served in President Martin VanBuren's cabinet as 13th US Attourney General. This is a great location to get your neck bitten or your face eaten by a werewolf.

I got up this morning and was surprised to find my inbox full of new contacts and yesterday's photo faved many times. Later I was informed that I was #9 on the front page of explore. Not like it really means anything, but it sure was a great start to the day.
Today we're having meetings at work and the mood is just forboding. The economy is just not really strong right now and it's just filtering on down to my profession. Which has me wondering.
I've had many careers since I joined the work place. Always something creative. I've been a musician, record producer, web designer, graphic artist, photographer, videographer, filmmaker and television producer. I've worked in pretty much all forms of media from newspaper to television to magazines. What next?
Mind you, I'm not planning on quitting my job anytime soon. But will it quit me?
Last night I pretty much finished up the backdrop for the podcast If you're looking to get your photo added to the photo wall before this weeks show, now's the time to do it.
One of the greatest uses of forshadowing ever concieved.

Almost forgot about it, Skip! Basically I had an extra Vader head and an extra Luke head so I dremeled out a chunk of the Vader mask and cut the Luke face to shape then glued it in and filled the seams. A little black paint and it's the accessory that never was.

The sea is unforgiving. I'm glad we were steaming along parallel to this storm rather than heading into it.
The keyhole looing into the Priory Church of St. Mary and St. Cuthbert, at Bolton Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales.
Deceptively simple shot, but not fun on the knees kneeling on a solid stone floor trying to get the light in the middle of the keyhole while exposing correctly!
(im getting a fair few visitors to this photo from an "unknown source" - can anyone tell me were this photo has been used?)
This storm passed through Benalla at about 6.30 pm on Thursday. Initially the whole sky took on an amazing pink glow, then the dark storm clouds came. Unfortunately the storm caused much damage in the north-east, wiping out whole caravan parks in the neighbouring town of Yarrawonga. There were many trees down in our district as a result.
I'm already missing the foggy Thanksgiving week. I love liminal space & photographs that play with it.
This year in particular has been a constant battle between wanting to get up and accomplish something and feeling so drained that that only stays a mindset!
The safe cocoons we’ve built this year whilst being cosy, I’m finding to be a detriment to my motivation. I’m fed up of feeling lethargic, the overwhelming sense that engulfs me saying you don’t need to put any energy towards the things that I love, that I want to do and make happen but ultimately I end up drowning in.
This is the first shoot I’ve done outside since October last year and it’s taking months of mustering up the energy to physically do it! I normally jump at the chance and I will do again soon!
Is anyone else feeling lethargic in general this year? How are you coping? What’s your best strategy for combatting the feeling?

These are photos that I took of a storm rolling in. Remarkably, these pics just seem to fit together. Only rain was produced from this storm. These photos were taken mid-August 2006 in Midland, Texas.

The recent storms we've been experiencing in the UK have provided a myriad of opportunities for a vast array of striking, epic and often tragic images. We have seen images of destruction, of the raw power of nature and wonderful winter scenes shot with the added bonus of dark forboding skies, in ever changing light.
I grew up in far flung places such as Mauritius, Cameroon and Hong Kong where I experienced great variations in extreme weather. You know you have been in a real storm when you can feel your 20 story apartment sway ever so much in gusts of up to 140mph as I did during Typhoon Ellen in 1983.
I remember comforting our large Alsatian 'Wolf' under the coffee table back in 1977, aged 4 in Mauritius. Wolf howled inside as a severe Cyclone howled outside.
I've always felt that sense of both excitement and trepidation at the sheer force of nature. I'm drawn to the Coast at the best of times but storms increase that magnetism. Nowhere is this sense of excitement more acute than when you experience the sheer power of the ocean at close quarters. Thankfully apart from a spot of (foolhardy) post Typhoon Surfing in Hong Kong, I've really only experienced the raw power of the ocean from dry land. Which is how I'd like it to remain. As much as I love Turner's treatment of the ocean I have no intention whatsoever to tie myself to the mast of a ship to better 'capture' a storm at sea.
I didn't really get a chance to be where I wanted during the recent weather but I managed to sneak out a few times and just sit for a few hours and marvel at the ocean.
If you feel the need to 'wave watch' please be sensible and take the necessary precautions. The ocean at its fiercest is so unpredictable and I've seen people take some very dangerous risks. If you want some photos take a longer lens and stay well back.

On the flipside of this
sign, Charlie - a fixture of
the Venice Beach boardwalk
populace - had inscribed
a more
forboding, sober message -
and then the flip,
and then the truth with
a smile: this. The man wants
to drink a cold one. Can you
blame him?
Storm chaser Andrew Arnold looks up into a supercell's rotating updraft in western Nebraska during Vortex 2 on June 5, 2009. This storm had previously produced a tornado in eastern Wyoming -- and the cloud overhead was producing a funnel cloud only five minutes before this was taken. As a storm chaser, I'm a bit of a scardy-cat in that I don't usually like to allow rotating updrafts to slide directly overhead (even when they look this disorganized) -- but Project Vortex 2 featured a large number of mobile doppler radar trucks which constantly scanned the sky looking for rotation, acting as an early warning system of sorts.
Second roll of Arista EDU 100. This time pushed to 400 and some use of yellow filter for extra contrast. It holds up pretty well.
Bob Wondries Ford dealer has either moved or went out of business, but the dealership, lot, and sign remains. At night, the electricity is still on. But its entirely deserted. It is close to perfectly maintained. No weeds in the parking lot, sign is in good condition. All lights function. Just a forboding sense of emptiness.

brain damage, pink floyd, 1973
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
the lunatics are in the hall
the paper holds their folded faces to the floor
and every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
and if there is no room upon the hill
and if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
you raise the blade, you make the change
you rearrange me ' till I'm sane
you lock the door
and throw away the key
there's someone in my head but it's not me
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
you shout and no one seems to hear
and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Darth Vaders Last Kiss
Darth Vader's romance- an untold tragedy one all to common in the dark times of the destructive conflict...

"El Malpais" means "badlands", so named by Spanish explorers and settlers for the rugged, forboding volcanic landscape veined with sharp, jagged lava tubes, and steep calderas. El Malpais National Conservatory (or Monument--I've seen it listed both ways) preserves this strangely beautiful area south of Grants, New Mexico.
The small yet forboding shadow of Bodiam Castle. As I was in the area already, I just had to take a glimpse of this picturesque castle on my return back to London from Leeds Castle.
The top floor window.
Located in Mittagong, the Tooth and Co brewery has been abandonded since 1981, closed due to fire damage and rising costs. Inside the forboding exterior facade, the two remaining buildings have a number of floors, several of which are difficult to reach. Colourful graffiti covers many surfaces, and some stairs and entire floors are missing. Despite this, it was a delight to explore and photograph.
