Layers of green slowly fade into a blue haze – obviously, a warm, sunny spring day. Finally!
Taken with an ancient Konica Minolta Dynax 7D digital camera and even older Minolta AF Zoom 35‍–‍105mm F3‍.‍5‍–‍4‍.‍5 lens. Cropped to cinematic aspect ratio.
I visited Great Sand Dunes National Park for the first time, and what really impressed me about the park was the scenic variety in a relatively small area. As the sun rose and painted the landscape, the scenic features really began to stand out.
I'm not sure any of the photographers who were with me on the workshop took any shot like this. The instructor himself was slightly puzzled about what I was going for. As I gazed upon the scene in front of me, I was struck by the layers of landforms that comprised the park. The strips of sky, alpine peaks, forested mountains, and the sand dunes, which seem so foreign in this environment. While not a photograph that would invoke the admiration of a judge in a photo contest, it nailed what I was going for. The one improvement I wish I'd made was to wait a couple minutes for the swath of sunlight to make a wider layer of lit dunes. I was busy taking a panorama during that moment. I'll reshoot on a future visit, whenever I can work out the timing.
Clouds obscuring the valley with the Gros Ventre skyline in the background. One of the reasons its called Jackson(s) Hole.
more layers and rows than just one, for this feast!!
they 're together in a colorful bouquet... in the grass!
and there is a couple standing out like this, nicely...
a few even!!
End of the month, time for another photo of my monthly project for 2017. This time I was inspired by the track 'Layers', made by Pryda aka Eric Prydz. The link to the song is below.
If you want to see which other tracks of Eric Prydz I made pictures for, feel free to check out the album with all the previous images.

Edinburgh Castle overlooking a busy Grassmarket. Castle Rock, on which the castle sits, is a volcanic plug estimated to have formed 350 million years ago. This strategic strong point has been used as a place for fortresses since the Iron Age. The Castle was built in 1103, while the Grassmarket area dates back to the 1300s and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument
Arizona
March 2025
White Pocket, tucked within Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona, is a hidden gem of swirling sandstone, otherworldly rock formations, and vibrant colors. Its landscape—a mesmerizing blend of white, red, and orange sandstone—has been sculpted into domes, ridges, and brain-like textures over time. Adventurers are drawn to its alien beauty, where each turn reveals a new geological marvel. Its remote isolation enhances the mystique.
Taking you back to the Slovenian Alps in September 2017, this image was taken at sunset on the border of Slovenia & Italy. Beautiful contrast & layers. This is available in my print store on my website.

For those interested this is an Agave plant.
A sheet of clingfilm covering a tiny bowl of green olives. I don't really use clingfilm anymore, this was purely for photographic purposes.
Taken for Macro Mondays - Theme 'Layer'
Layers of ancient sandstone form the walls of Kings Canyon, the big picture makes an impressive sight, but with this shot I want to capture a section of the sandstone walls in detail. break of a small piece, sub it between your fingers and it dissolves into fine soft red powder.
We have been documenting our direct surroundings for many years with many pictures taken, but the light was never like last evening, spectacular...
I have hundreds of these but i only upload shots where I have tried a new technique (for me) when compared with previous posts. This shot is a single smoke plume from an incense stick layered, mirrored and blended. I made over a dozen variations but this one stood out to me.
Mainly smoke photography for me is more therapeutic than anything else. Most of these only exist for a few moments on a monitor. I enjoy the process more than the results.
A golden sunset in the Pacific Northwest. The fog lingered around the mountains just long enough for the camera to pickup the different layers of the mountains.
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Layer'.
Just a small white paper serviette stuck into the neck of a bottle.

I did try a stack of plates with a red serviette, and I did try a red serviette in the neck of the bottle, but didn't like the results.
