“As long as I live, I’ll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I’ll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I’ll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can.”

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir
Dedicated to Holly and her family. Holly (Hodgey) lost her beautiful dog Maggie yesterday. Thinking of you my friend.
Update October 15th: I was originally going to do with a different shot for Autumn's 52 weeks for dogs shot but for a number of reasons I have decided that this is the one I want to go with.
22:52. Try and apply a technique or style that is widely associated with a specific photographic genre and use it in an unconventional way.
Not very imaginative this week but I did try out my 50mm for landscape capitalizing on its sharpness vs DOF capability.

This view of California's Mt. Shasta (14,179 feet or 4322 meters) was taken from the rest stop/airport just north of the mountain and adjacent to Interstate 5, the North-South highway from California to Washington State. Native Americans called it "White Mountain" but the American government changed the name to "Shasta" in 1841. John Muir, John Wesley Powell and other famous Americans climbed Shasta in the 19th Century.
Whenever I walk around John Muir's Fountain Lake I can't help but feel his spirit hanging over the place. He came here as a child from England, the nearest neighbor was five miles away. They built a shack and started a life. He reveled in the birds and animals that inhabited the farm. Read his childhood book and you will see what I mean!
I am a big fan of the various landscapes found in Wisconsin. From Lake Superior down through the northwoods, to the sand counties and the driftless area, along the Mississippi River, the Niagara Escarpment, to Lake Michigan----all different, and in my blood!

Image and haiku by John Henry Gremmer
“All I came to seek, I’ve found and far, far more.”
“A glorious and novel sight beyond all I had hoped for yet I had so long dreamed of it, it seemed familiar.”
John Muir - Tolhuaca 1911.
En 1911 John Muir visita Chile con la intención de conocer las araucarias. Después de recorrer los bosques al sur de la laguna Malleco y noroeste del río Dillo (cerca del volcán Tolhuaca), deja sus impresiones de este viaje señalando que:
"Todo lo que vine a buscar, lo encontré y mucho, mucho más”.
"Una vista gloriosa y novedosa más allá de todo lo que había esperado, pero lo había soñado durante tanto tiempo, me parecía familiar".

The above words were spoken by the famous pioneering naturalist Sir David Attenborough who continues up until today to fight for nature and show us its beauty and power.
From John Muir to Sir David there is a clear understanding of the common thread which connects us all - the diversity of life and the intricate links between people, planet, flora and fauna which are key to our collective survival. It is time to embrace and value this diversity.

Ha! I love that quote. Sounds like something Mark Twain or Oscar Wilde would have said, LOL.
Anyway, there is a very real possibility I won't be flying to Battle River after all this year due to Covid 19. We'll see. Uncertain times
Sorry I've not been commenting. A whole lot going on here right now. I'll catch up with you all soon. Thanks for your comments and faves. They are very much appreciated

Listen to the silence. Hear only your feet touching the ground, only your heart beating.
This is why i will hike until the wheels come off!
Steall Gorge is located at the head of Glen Nevis in the Lochaber area of the Scottish West Highlands. Any of you who follow my photostream will know of my love for Scotland and I have been in some very beautiful places but this location really does rank right up there with the most beautiful places I have ever seen anywhere in the world through my travels.
Steall Gorge is not ofr the faint hearted, there is a sign as you enter informing you that this is a dangerous place and that deaths have occured here when people have fallen from the narrow path. However, with a little bit of proper preparation this is definitely one you should look to enjoy yourself if you ever have the chance, I will certainly go back.

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

I shared some images of the Sunrise section of Rainier last May. Now starting a series on some of my favorites from the aptly named " Paradise" area of Rainier National Park.
Who doesn't admire and respect John Muir for his words and works? Shown here is his quote at the entrance to Paradise's Skyline trail from his visit here in 1893.
"John Muir first visited Mount Rainer on August 8, 1888 with educator and mountaineer Edward S. Ingraham, mountaineer P.B. Van Trump, artist William Keith, attorney Daniel Waldo Bass, botanist Charles V. Piper, photographer A.C. Warner, Henry Loomis, and a teen-age boy named N.O. Booth. After almost two weeks of enduring spoiled food, volcanic ash windstorms, and falling rocks, Muir and six of the other party members reached the summit. Muir then wrote a brief article, An Ascent of Mt. Rainier, shortly after his trip.
As president of the newly formed Sierra Club, John Muir gave numerous lectures and wrote various articles advocating for the preservation of Mount Rainier from the years 1893 to 1899. Muir also made efforts to unite other organizations across the nation who were pursuing the same cause. This was especially true with local mountain climbing organizations in the Seattle area such as Mountaineers, who’s members sought out Muir’s influential endorsement. After years of advocating for the preservation of Mount Rainier by Muir, environmental organizations, and famous mountaineers living in the Seattle area such as Edward S. Ingraham and P.B. Van Trump, congress established Mount Rainier National Park in 1899."

John Muir said that, but I personally didn’t get to go into these woods. This road is just down the street from me but it is restricted to employees and contractors. So close and yet so far.

Happy Fence Friday, Everyone!
No traveler, whether a tree lover or not, will ever forget his first walk in a sugar-pine forest. The majestic crowns approaching one another make a glorious canopy, through the feathery arches of which the sunbeams pour, silvering the needles and gilding the stately columns and the ground into a scene of enchantment. ~John Muir
Muir Woods has a rich and varied history, involving the West Coast Miwok tribe of the US, who inhabited this land until it became a tourist site and then an area protected by US National Parks laws.

“No matter how far you have wandered…the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, will seem as novel to you, as unearthly in the color and grandeur and quantity of its architecture, as if you had found it after death, on some other star; so incomparably lovely and grand and supreme is it above all the other canyons in our fire-molded, earthquake-shaken, rain-washed, river and glacier sculptured world.” - John Muir.

Digitized using a Wolverine F2D converter, digital image then converted to monochrome using Carbon Black and White Studio.
John Muir referred to the prominent Cascade peaks as "fire mountains". Of that group, he considered Mt. Rainier to be nobility.
I took this as we ascended the Pinnacle Peak trail that takes you up to the saddle between two of the Tatoosh Range peaks, looking back at Rainier during the morning. I hope this did you proud, John, 'cause it's for you.
Walking the trails in the John Muir National Monument. How can one not look up and be amazed at the pure beauty of what has been created? The light pouring through the trees was just surreal. Every step I took I wanted to take another shot just like before.

Quote ― John Muir
Ice floating in Tracy Arm Fjord in Alaska. Tracy Arm is an ocean fjord off of Holkham Bay and Stephens Passage south of Juneau, Alaska USA. The colors are not "cooked" - this is really what it looks like. The green hue to the water is from glacial silt and the bright blue hue to the ice is common, although not all of the floating ice has this color. This is an ocean inlet, so the tide line is visible on the rock in the background. This fjord was documented by naturalist John Muir in 1879 and 1880. Thank you for viewing!
