A shot from a very early sunrise a few weeks ago at my favourite local bay. I love it here and I don't remember ever leaving here disappointed as it has so much to offer a photographer regardless of conditions. On this occasion a beautiful pink sky greeted us.
was right on the edge taking this shot. a long way down if I wasn't too carful. I literally had the tripod an camera set up on the very edge of the cliff face to get this shot.

A sunset shot from one of the ledges just east of Clavell Pier in Kimmeridge. Frantically searching for a spot out of the firece winds that afternoon a few weeks ago, I finally settled on a composition just in time as the sky exploded with colour.
The weathermen seem to have taken a break. Recent forecasts have been way off the mark. This is from Saturday morning when once again they got it wrong, but actually I'm really pleased with the shots I got. The tide height really helped to isolate the individual sections of the fractured rock layers.
Or perhaps...Defying Gravity.
Please, please, please, if you go to Horseshoe Bend do not encourage anyone to do this sort of thing. It is extremely dangerous. There is grit on the stone which makes it slippery and someone can easily loose their balance. People die here! A Phoenix man fell to his death at this location during May of 2018.
Taken at Horseshoe Bend near Page, Arizona, the Colorado River flows about 1,000 feet below a visitor to the famous location.
For me, this was a bit of "Street Photography" as I did not know the individual nor did I solicit the pose. I simply happened to be enjoying the scene provided by nature, when the opportunity unfolded. A bit of cropping at the bottom of the photo causes the photo to look like I was also close to the edge, but I was a very safe distance from it. Note the boat on the river for size perspective. The photo was captured shortly after a thunder storm.
Horseshoe Bend is located a short distance downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam in Page which forms Lake Powell and is upstream from the Grand Canyon. For full views of Horseshoe Bend see my Arizona Album.
The engineer in me could not resist.
distance=1/2 acceleration due to gravity * time**2 so with a drop of about 1,000 feet and the acceleration due to gravity equal to 32.2 ft/sec**2, freefall would take about 7.88 seconds. That is plenty of time to understand the outcome.

I've shot this section of coast so much over the last few weeks, always in hope of a really dramatic colourful sky. I nearly went home early after seeing another white bank of cloud approaching but the little clouds here polarised beautifully for the 5 or so minutes this sky lasted. I'm still chasing a really epic sunset up here but very happy with this one for now...

This photo is rock-solid evidence that I am a dummy.
I had been planning on going up to Cathedral Ledge to try to get a photo of the last bit of sun shining down over the foliage around North Conway, but by the time we got up to the top it was basically too late. I was frantically trying to get whatever photos I could and I was moving too fast. I dropped my graduated density filter and thankfully it didn't break. I was dejected and even though I try not to let "missing the shot" bother me, I was not succeeding at that moment.
Cut to 10 minutes later. I walk over to see where Cait has hiked off to and she's checking out the view of White Horse Ledge. The sky in that direction looks like it might be rearing up for a nice sunset. I set up my gear, including my unbroken graduated density filter, and start taking photos. The sky lit up. The foliage was great. The rocks provided nice leading lines for the foreground. It ended up being one of my favorite photos of the trip.

This trail tucks in under a jutting rock ledge above. It's rather quieting.

Have a calm and peaceful Sunday!
The nations most famous A3, heads an earlier path north over the Settle & Carlisle in some glorious conditions.

Looking down from the top section to climbers below with Carn Mor Dearg and the Aonachs in the sun beyond.
Here is another shot from the Willis Tower Skydeck, this one was taken from what is known as "The Ledge", a clear glass cube attached to the side of the building which allows you to walk out and look down all the way to the ground.
On a side note, I have a ton of photographs waiting to be posted here from a trip to the Bahamas and a workshop I did a couple weekends ago. Keep checking back as I hope to be posting frequently for the next few weeks!

A rock pile has been shaped like stonehenge for the king of the jungle at the safari park. He sits at the top and looks at the stupid tourists driving in their cars through the park (including me) and taking pictures of him. He's just waiting for someone to stick their hand out of a car for his tasty snack.
Dancing Ledge is part of the Jurassic Coast near Langton Matravers in the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England. Dancing Ledge is a flat area of rock at the base of a small cliff. A little scrambling is required for access. It is signposted on the South West Coast Path a few kilometres west of Swanage. Dancing Ledge is so called because at certain stages of the tide when the waves wash over the horizontal surface, the surface undulations cause the water to bob about making the ledge appear to dance.
